Has anyone else here had luck installing and using a third party equalizer and google play music?
I am having difficulty using a third party equalizer. Google Play Music seems to ignore the equalizer every time a new song starts. However, if I skip the song to to the middle, the equalizer kicks back in. I can't seem to find much info about other people having this problem.
Steps to reproduce
1. Disable Audio Effects
2. Install and start a third party equalizer
3. Play a song in Google Play Music
4. Skip to the middle of the song
5. Press the next or previous song button
The audio goes back to "unequalized".
Things I have tried
1. Freezing Audio Effects
2. Installing multiple third party equalizers
3. Rebooted multiple times
4. Unistalled Google play Music updates
5. Disabled many apps
6. Disabled no aps
Other Info
* Moto X
* Verizon
* Rooted
* All Access music subscription
have you tried VIPER4Android? Its got its own thread on this forum if you search for it. Its the best EQ I've used. I also ran into EQ issues with gMusic but this one works great. I have an S4, not a Moto X but it should work anyway.
Actually just finished installing V4A. I can get it it kick in but then if I restart the song or it goes to the next song, it stops.
I can't get local pinned music to use any equalizer at all. V4A "driver status" says that its not processing.

What equalizer are you using? I have awesome beats with nexmusic, you have to find the right combination, if my memory serves me right, play music would fc when I used awesome beats. I'm firing play music up with awesome beats. I let you know if I have any FC's with awesome beats. Nexmusic is very similar to Apollo music, sleep timer and you can access the equalizer quickly unlike playmusic
Edit: no FC's with play music and awesome beats I also left all other equalizers active. I did nor freeze or remove Audio effects , also have music fx and noozioxide

I have tried about 5-8 different equalizers. I mostly use my phone to listen to the Play All Access stuff.

i am having problems with my stock headsets
the control buttons dont work at all.
i cant pause/unpause or change track while listening to music
i cant pick up or hang up a call either.
anyone facing the same issues?
any fixes?
Could be two things.
Do you use a task killer? Make sure you're not killing the required service or app.
If you have installed other music players they may have taken over the controls, to overcome this you can reinstall the stock music app or w/e your using.

i've had pandora, but issues still apply to pandora as well
i've wiped and tried the headset with the music player right after before installing any other apps, and still i have the same issues
Uninstall any media player app you have installed, it could be interfering with headset clicks.
Use default media player and enable headset controls in configuration.
Put the default media player widget on any of the main screens.
If it doesn't work yet. Try installing DroidShuffle and check again.
there's also an app on the market called fix headset controls or restore music controls.. something like that which restores the head phone buttons to original.
(I accidentally posted to the wrong forum this morning (Butterfly Q&A) which is why I'm reposting it here, mods.)
Just got my One yesterday and I have an extensive music library stored with Google Music. As you have to use their app to play streamed music stored on their service, I noticed that even with maximum volume settings, it is not playing as loud as I hoped through the speakers. Headphone volume is fine and also other apps like YouTube play loud so it's not apparently the phone, but apparently limitations in the Play Music app? It makes no difference with beats on or off and yes, I have maximum volume set for "media and music" in settings plus the volume rocker on the phone is set to max. Does anyone know of an app I can use with Play Music to increase the sound when using the speakers and has anyone else noticed this?
i use poweramp try that

Thanks for the suggestion jay and I've used Poweramp before and it works good. The only problem is that you're forced to use Google's "Play Music" app to play your music stored on their servers AFAIK. I guess I can just transfer some to the phone outright and use poweramp.
What's up people!! So over the past few days I've noticed that no matter what music app I use the music will stop playing randomly. I am rooted and have installed Viper4Android and that seems to be when it started. I tried to uninstall the driver and the app while in recovery and that didn't work.
Anything else I can try?? It's so annoying to have my music stop and I can't figure out why it's stopping.

Forget viper, or awesome beats, they all have issues with our moto, either you can use a after market music player such as player pro or if you're rooted you can flash this play store inverted zip. It comes with a functional music fx equalizer with about 10 pre sets or you can customize your treble and bass as you desire

Before you flash it make sure you delete or rename the existing play music app. After you flash it go to phone settings and under sound make sure you select music fx, other wise music fx will fc

I can't seem to figure out how to control music playing on my phone from my watch (using Google Music phone app). Is something supposed to pop up when I play music on my phone? I don't see an "app" on the watch that controls this. Note that I'm using a Note 3.
What am I missing?

You get card of current song and if u swipe to left u can advance and swipe to right one more time to stop I believe.

Actually I figured this out. You have to start the playback on the phone first. Then you get a notification that let's you pause / play, Swipe to the left and you next and once more to the left you get previous, but that is the extent of the stock music control. This worked with EVERY music player I have, not just Google stock Music player.
You can also control volume if you get the Wear Volume app - it appears as an additional notification card under the main music notification. And here is also something that is WAY cool - if you download musiXmatch app, you can scroll down and choose to display scrolling LYRICS to the current song!! I can't get BOTH volume AND lyrics to work at the same time however. Note the Volume works with any music app you choose in it's settings. However, musiXmatch only works with Google Play Music player.
There are also some voice controls to start playback. Such as OK Google, play me some music (that will start an "I'm feeling lucky" shuffle). OK Google, Play Some *artist name* . there are some others, but I use those two often.
Not sure if it matters, but this is on an HTC One M7, stock 4.4.2 Sense 6, Google Play Music.
I've just finished developing my Wear Music Controller app to solve this problem for me:

You can play/pause/next/prev/stop/vol-up/vol-down from your watch! Works with all music apps. Let me know what you think!
I've played with a couple of music playing problems (rocket player and GoneMAD Music Player) and I've noticed a problem. Hopefully a few of you can try this out (either with one of those two apps or whatever is more convenient for you) and see if the problem is with my phone or it's a problem with the equalization system. Play any track, and confirm you can pause and unpause the track without problem. Then turn on, in either app, the equalization and specifically play around with the graphic equalizer (rocket player) or bass boost option (gone mad) and see if, when you pause and unpause, you get random changes in volume, including no audio at all. With gone mad the bass boost operates separately from the equalizer.

I have this problem! Whenever I use an app that uses its own equalizer or a third party equalizer and play music I get a max volume spike at the beginning of playback. Have you found any solutions?
