Ok there are a lot of requests for a simple equalizer system but so far the choices seem to be either buy a set of wired headphones use the srs wow EQ which slows the phone down and has rather limited controls or use a high end media player.
can someone create a low profile software equlizer app that is NOT SRS WOW
all i need is the preamp and range sliders with a few preset slots that works over bluetooth. is it too much to ask for @[email protected]
"no i am not switching to core player XD"
HTC Audio Booster?

Have you looked into the HTC Audio Booster? I have that, but I'm not sure it does what you'e looking for.
HTC audio booster is buggy. It shuts off when it wants and at the end of songs. Everyone knows this.
Update (4/11/2017): Updated the app to use the Superpowered audio library. Performance is greatly improved. Lag is pretty much gone.
This was my first app and recently just overhauled it with a lot of the updates I had been doing to Wave Control. I've decided to take this out of incubation in the device specific forums and put it fully out there. All feedback is appreciated!
Around Sound allows you to listen to music, watch movies, or play games and still be aware of your surroundings. It's meant for when you're using sound isolating earbuds like Shure or others that are basically earplugs so you have no idea what's going on around you.
It uses the mic on your headset or phone to listen around you. You set how loud a noise needs to be to trigger it. When a loud sound is detected, it pauses your music or movie for a timeout period. During this time, it feeds the outside sound through to your headphones so you can hear what's going on. After the timeout period it then resumes playback.
With games, you can use the non-pause mode which will overlay the outside sounds on top of the current audio. Usually the game audio will lower itself during this time. I would really like for games to support the pause feature. I've reached out to some developers but need everyone's help to request the feature be added to their favorite games.
Play Store Link:
Free Version
Some known issues:
1. Audio lag - when the outside sound is fed through there's about a 500ms delay. It's a known issue with Android. It's rumored to have been fixed in Jelly Bean (or there's some low level API's available to fix it) but I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. Finally fixed! Practically realtime now!
2. Bluetooth Mic Option - Currently only works with mono headsets and not the AD2P kind, adds lag
Some use cases:
- At the office: pause your music automatically when someone is trying to get your attention
- At home: Don't miss door slams, children crying, your dog barking, or other warning signs
- At the airport: Relax at the gate and have your music or movie pause when the gate announcements start
- Anywhere relatively quiet where you want to know if something happens around you
Permissions Needed:
Network Communications: Full Internet Access (For Ad Supported Version)
Phone Calls: Read Phone status (shuts off the audio processing during calls)
Hardware Controls: Audio Settings, Record Audio (to use the microphone, no audio is ever stored)
Coarse Location(Not GPS): For Ad Supported Version
Write External Storage: For Ad Supported Version
Billing: For in app upgrades
Bluetooth: For Bluetooth mic feature
Broadcast Sticky: For Bluetooth mic feature
Limitations:
-For Pause Music Mode: You can't be in a really loud environment otherwise the microphone input will be maxed out and there is no way to detect a louder sound. Use Street Mode instead

I played with this a bit in a few of its earlier incarnations and I have to compliment you on the app. One thing I've wondered -- instead of muting the underlying app, would it be possible to play what the microphone picks up over the top of whatever being played?

i guees that is not possible ...hardware limitations
anyway if it is...would be a great addition
I hope someone can explain this to me. I'm not doubting it's a hardware limitation, I just can't understand what sort of hardware limitation it might be.

Yeah, it's possible. If you uncheck pause mode, it'll play over the other app. The way it's setup now, depending on the playing app, the music/movie might dip in volume. Alternatively there's Street Mode in the Pro Version that will play all sound above the trigger on top of your music/movie.

Woo hoo! Cool, thanks! Pro, here I come.
Any idea when you think you might be able to look into that lower latency JB API?

This is so genius! Installing now!
I bought Pro this morning and used it on my walk. Worked like a charm!
It was pretty bright out and my screen couldn't brighten enough to let me see the trigger slider. A suggestion: how about adding +5 and -5 buttons so I can adjust the trigger level without having to see the slider? I don't mean remove the slider, I mean add +5 and -5 buttons.
Got the pro just to support the Dev. Great idea and great work. Keep it up man!

Sounds perfect....
i saw this while ago and was going to use it but deleted it by accident and than forgot about it this has reignited me to use it now ill download it later.
any news on the bluetooth issue as i have bluetooth headphones and there not mono and was wondering if it work well or not with em?
Wow...this is great. Thank you.
I like the sound of this (No pun intended) but I've only got bluetooth stereo headphones with a mic. so I'll have to wait until it supports them.
App2SD would be nice ...

I don't have a set to test it with but I've gotten mixed feedback. Some stereo ones do work and some don't. Or.. it may be a particular phone's bluetooth implementation since it seems more like a bug in Android than a headset specific issue.
Please give it a try and let me know if it works!
Will this save me if I end up in the middle of a shoot out, and I have in noise canceling headphones? As bizarre as that sounds... I'm paranoid lol

Possibly... but I make no guarantees

So after un-intentionally (really, I swear!) ignoring my girlfriend while playing a game, I realized... I could use Around Sound with games.
So far the non-pause mode works pretty well with the games I play. I'm reaching out to some other developers to include the ability to pause when asked by Around Sound.
I need people's help to request their favorite game dev's to support auto-pause with Around Sound
Hello! this is a simple app i made for my own, it allows me to send the audio to rear or main speaker, earpiece speaker or bluetooth easily.
When the app is running, it shows a little control on the notification where you can choose where the sound should go.
When bluetooth, it will search for already synchronized devices and connect to the first one available.
Any suggestions or features request?
Thx all!

So, anyone who tried it can tell me at least if it works fine? or is totally useless?
thx!
useless comment here----deleted xD
is it possible to have bluetooth and internal speaker play the same sound at the same time?
I'm wondering of there is an easy effort that I can do to disable the volume duck that occurs when I receive a notification (while listening to music)
Some ROMs have a setting g for this, but I'm wondering if someone could direct me to the proper file I might edit and turn this feature OFF..
I like my notification sound to just play over the music, or just not bother me..
Thx.

Pretty sure this has to do with what app you're using for playing music, and whether it uses the mediaplayer of your device or it's own custom one.
it's true, I hated the ducking but was able to disable it in PowerAMP settings.

Yeah, PowerAMP uses its own media service.
Is there a music player that has this feature that doesn't cost money? I'll pay for Poweramp if there isn't. VLC for Android, for instance, doesn't have this feature.
Edit: After some trial and error with various programs, I've discovered that MX Player plays back audio without ducking, but a drawback is that it doesn't have dynamic playlist creation capabilities (you need your files ordered in folders). It also plays Opus files, which is something that I was also looking for.
Another app, Rocket Player, will let you choose *between* ducking and pausing (under Settings->Sound->Audio Focus->Temp Focus Action), but it won't let you disable the action completely. That being said, I've found that for audio books and podcasts, I actually prefer pausing to ducking or no ducking, so I like Rocket Player in this respect (same goes with Poweramp).
guys,COS 12+ has this option in their OS. the question is there any xposed modules to do the same action like in COS ?? ( I'm not sure if it's available in CM12+ roms or not ) any idea?
Dirty unicorn have this feature and its working great.

did u find any xposed module for that feature?
So I need to record a track, and I have a 3.5mm splitter plugged into my Droid Turbo and the input and headphones connected to the splitter. Sound comes in and out just fine, I can record and playback without any problems, but I cannot find and Android app that has a good monitoring feature; meaning while recording the phone simultaneously outputs everything it inputs, allowing me to listen to myself through the headphones while recording. I say a good monitoring feature because there is one app, Miidio Recorder, which claims this feature, but has extremely high latency and almost a whole second of lag. There are many ios apps that I have personally used which can accomplish this perfectly, but I cannot find one single Android app.
The apps I have tried so far are:
Miidio recorder
Fl studio mobile
Caustic 3
Pocket studio
At least 5 or 6 different audio recording apps.
If anyone knows of or can code a simple app that does this I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
[EDIT] this is my first post so if I'm supposed to like add anything or something please lmk
Wow, almost 5 months, no reply. leaving a reply because I too would like to know the answer. Is it an Android issue or just plane dislike of developers for Android owners??
