Best Audio Mod - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, i wanna improve music on my Xperia SP (OS: CM12.1 ) Can you recommend any mod for it? For now i use Xperia Music with xperia stufff (clear audio etc.) but i think it can be better, and would be great if will be compatibile with it. I most listen dance music (Club, remixes etc.) If there will help i got headphones SONY MDR-NC31E. I would like reviews people who use X mod. I try Dolby digital plus and it's not for me also, viper4android can be but i think about mix mod with boom sound beats, something like that
If someone serach EQ settings, maybe this one like it:
from left to right: -5, -3, 0, +1, 0
Clear bass +7
VPT Studio
Don't take it max volume

I can recommend xtrememusic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3029951
I flashed xtrememusic4.1, desire and desire-fix. (It also installs dark-material-v4a). I can not get dolby atmos working (if you can let me no how)
My old-time-favorite is megabassbeats4.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/mod-megabassbeats-v3-t1945535
Use dspmanager AND V4A (compatible mode).
It still works fine on lollipop (freeze/delete audiofx before). You'll need to flash also the fix from this mod (works on several roms) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=61762074.
(And ofcourse: switch nuplayer in developper settings and set selinux to permissive)

Thanks for reply, did You use it with Xperia Music?

Nope, with spotify.

I think this may conflict with Xperia audio stuff

Viper really much improve sound quality and interpretation in stock player and speakers, but if you using PowerAMP, you must play with a settings, but for listening from speakers, stock player is better for it.

I tried installing both the xHiFi & FX version, but the driver installation failed. Which CPU mode did you use? How much improved sound you get, given the already excellend pair of speakers on HTC One?
Thanks

Does not work for me
I've got a Verizon one, but I've tried everything and it doesn't seem to change anything in the sound. I also turned off beats, but still nothing. Maybe it doesn't work with the stock music player.
Can't get it working on SkyDragon Sense 7
Hey,
Viper don't want to work on my m7. I tried all:
Got latest SU binaries, got busybox, set SEL Linux to permissive,disabled NuPlayer, tried other versions, different setting and different kernel. But I just can't get it working.
I really appriciate your help, I can't live without Viper

I want to run GE or AOSP...but audio SUCKS!

Hi guys,
Can you help me find a ROM that suits my needs? I am going nuts here. I have flashed that many roms and I am just tired of it. I haven't actually found one that I actually enjoy.
First of all I want a rom that is preferably GE or AOSP with lots of customisation. For example I loved this rom by dirty unicorns found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314807
This ROM is pretty much everything I look for in a ROM...however I am getting really bored with the One at the moment. Especially because I care about audio, and I just feel like no developer has really come in and developed a all you need, kick ass audio mod for the One.
In this rom above audio is absolutely HORRIBLE. At full volume it distorts and through headphones it does not sound as good as with sense. But I don't want to use sense.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Ultimately I'd like to use that ROM with good audio and if possible boost the sound ever louder (that's another thing, these speakers have dedicated amps but no one has figured out how to boost volume levels at hardware level?). Any audio mods/things that I can do to get the sound quality and volume back up to par with sense? This rom doesn't come with beats audio...possible to install it?
Thank you for your help.

Have you tried using viper4androidFX. Its a pretty good audio mod I use on ARHD GE edition. Sadly Zeroinfinity isn't making purexaudio for AOSP and only Sense. Its a godly audio mod, but only Sense is a no go.

Yes I have. The problem is that your GE edition comes with beats audio, so your audio sounds half decent. The dirty unicorns rom I am using doesn't have beats audio, and what seems like all the aosp audio files (which sound horrible).
I don't want to lose this rom, but I don't want to live with this audio either. First world problems hey haha

While running vibermod4android you turn Beats off since you don't want to modify an already modified audio stream. It works perfect on all Roms

I have beats off even though im on GE. Beats switch is just an equalizer preset, nothing else. Technically you could replicate the exact same sound with the equalizer built in to any music app, or viper. Like altimax98 said, it should be turned off anyways because modifying something thats already modified isn't too sensible. Especially if you were to say use another device, and wanted to replicate the exact same audio no both. Copying settings from one to the other would have them sound the same but with beats on, your throwing a modification on to a modification.

Yeah, no I understand that all but I still can't fix my sound on this AOKP rom?
I have installed V4A except I don't think it is doing anything... I downloaded the convolver pack so I can set custom IRS still does nothing. I wonder if I set it up properly?
All I did was install and then that was install busybox, install v4a as user app. then run it and install drivers. it said drivers isntalled but it didnt let me selected cortext a8 or those type of options. weird. Now the app seems like it does nothing for sound.
Any ideas?

Are you using dsp compatible app? (google music player, or my fav Shuffle +)
And fx just asks for power save, high quality or best sound drivers. Doesn't ask for processor specific, that's xhifi only.

I've gone from Sense to GPE and (this may be placibo) but i actually find the straight SQ of the HP really, really good/ better than when i was stock.
I tried the Viper mod when using the SIN rom, didn't like it, tried the others (nooze, etc) and concluded that all of the sound mods are simply DSP's and don't actually make the SQ from the DAC any better. They simply change it. I'm back to the pure sound from GPM without EQ and i think it is magnificent!
My tip would be to do a full clean install of your current GPE rom and disable/uninstall Viper etc and run unfiltered/EQ'd for a few days to get your ears used to the sound (Ears burn in to music as much as equipment) and then judge. Also, using good earphones is probably the best thing one can do to improve SQ. The earphones included with the Phone are suprisingly good imho.
YMMV

[Q] eXtremeBeats™ v2.0 and 4XHD

Hi,
I stumbled across this cool thing in XDA.
It called eXtremeBeats™ v2.0, it's kind of a system wide audio mod that combined all of the cool music effects like HTC Beats Audio, PureAudio,
AwesomeBeats, Sony Clearaudio+, Clearphase and xLoud , Pon-3 Audio, Harmon Kardon Libs, Dolby Libs, eXtraBassLibs.
It kind of audiophile dream
Since it’s a mod that mess with system lib and u have to flash it, it have some compatibility issues and some users reported boot loops on some different phones and roms.
So….
I would like 2 know if anyone here tried it with our 4xhd ??
Thanks

Problem with music volume :S

Hi, some couple of days, i update my razr i to kitkat, rooted with recovery...very fast and smooth, no problem at all...but when i listen music in the app Google Music ( with earphones) its sound pretty LOW...someone know how i can boost the volume music???
i searched a mod of sony walkman of xperia z2 for all android: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730431
to increase the sound of music, but i cannot made it work...i have the xperia z2 launcher..
anyone want to try it? or knows a mod/app that it can boost the sound of music???
Same problem here, I have no idea how to fix it...
Yep, unfortunately....
I've reported that before, the KK audio sucks guys
I think might be a kernel issue... BTW there's no "final" version yet.

ups :C., sorry bro...recently i found a mod that boost the volume of music...only u have need to be root
install the apk, grant permission of root, reboot and change the music effects (configuration-sound-music effects) and choose the apk installed
the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
Yeah thanks
But, actually the real trouble for me are the "hissing noises", like i said before.
Some build.prop edits are helping a little, i'll try the ViPER4Android but i'm not sure if he will work.

[Q] Best Sound mods on stock rom?

Hello ! As you all know Sound quality has been terrible on our Z1 since Lollipop came out and Sony has done nothing to fix it so now i have gotten enough and i wanna do something about it myself. I have been reading lots about sound mods and have been comparing them with others but i cant seem to find good one to fit my purposes so i decided to ask here. Im not looking for stereo mod or anything speaker related or like that, i just wanna get the true power what it is capable to produce to my headset like on KK and to be able to adjust the equalization and bass etc like we used to before Walkm... i mean Music app sound enchantments stopped working.. i have XPhonePlus Module from XPosed to enable old audio modes but its currently broken or something since doesnt work...
So basicly im looking for audio mod that:
- Brings back the volume that we had in KK. (In LP its much lower volume.)
- Makes equalization working again. (After LP, had never worked, not in Music beta or the not beta one)
- Makes surround work again (--||--)
- As good bass without losing quality as possible
- Being able to keep the sound enchantments in other apps too not just music app
- Works on stock rom
- As stable as possible, im not really good updater.
- Needs to be able to change settings on the fly. (on LP sometimes equalizer settings take effect on reboot)
I know all my requirements arent necessary possible but just something that way !
I have Bluetooth headset and wired one and i use both so it needs to work on both. i listen mostly electronic so extra bass related mod is never a minus. Im not looking to change music app since i like it so that is not an option.
Im taking suggestions and im gonna pick the best one based on popularity and comments so please share your favourite mod here an i will check it out !
Also im a noobie so i might need instructions i have root ofc and nuts recovery and xposed. im on .270 5.0.2 LP
@migidid
I'm gonna try to answer :3
1. Edit your mixer_paths.xml, need root, there is also many guide in XDA
2. Equalizer works correctly, I don't know why you have such problem xD
3. Surround works too, but only when using headset/headphone.
4. This need headset/headphone with nice sound range too, you can +bass from stock Equalizer, I'm used Poweramp and Poweramp equalizer + Sony equalizer
5. Sony Sound Effect have a global effect for your speaker and also from another sound media too, but I don't know about surround effects (didn't try this so much) xD
EDIT: It's works on Poweramp, just tested it :3
EDIT2: It's not working on Poweramp, it's "blank" sound, sorry xD
EDIT3: Got a fix, must disable Direct Volume Control and enable MusicFX and you will get Surround Sound effect xD
6. I'm on Sony stock L ROM build .270, rooted
7. Nothing bads, if you know what are you doing xD
8. Sony Equalizer no need reboot to take effect, it's immediate :3
I don't like use Viper or another Sound Mod like that, it's useless (for me), since Sony already have in build Sound Effect. I'm only used nice headphone (not high res), modified mixer_paths.xml and Poweramp. :3
