Possible audio equalisation problems - Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers

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?

[Q] Google Play Music seems to ignore custom equlizers

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.

Bluetooth audio quality different depending on mp3 player app used?

I have my z1 setup in my car to play music via bluetooth into the car stereo.
With the sony walkman app, the stereo correctly shows the artist/song information and sounds pretty good.
However, if i use power player, the bluetooth sound quality seems noticeably worse and the stereo doesn't show the song information.
Has anyone else noticed this?
The reason i want to use powerplayer is because the walkman app, annoyingly doesn't' read the 'album artist' tags in songs, so it catalogues the music in a bizarre way if it is all correctly tagged.
Power player reads it properly and sorts via album artist.
I have all EQ + sounds effects turned off in both players and phone menu.
I'm using stock 4.4.4

A problem with volume spikes in music apps that have their own equalizer

I'm having this problem with apps that don't let you select the system equalizer. I suspect there is some conflict happening between the system equalizer and the app's equalizer. So far I have been able to replicate the issue in Pulsar and Apple Music.
It happens very infrequently, but sometimes when I tap on a song to play it I get a max volume spike at the beginning of the song. It's very quick but still very annoying.
Apps like Blackplayer that let me specifically select the system equalizer are working fine. Also the apps that don't have any equalizer and rely on the system equalizer work fine.
The problem is only with apps that let you turn on their own equalizer. The reason why I'd want to turn their equalizer on is that the systemwide one doesn't work with these apps.
Does anyone else face the same issue? Do you have any non-root solution?

What Music Player do you guys use?

I mainly have been using Google Play Music cause of the cool Media Controller that is colored by the album and liked it but others have been using others such as PowerAMP or Samsung Music, etc and wanted to see what you all recommend for music playing and also Samsung Sound Effects such as Surround/Dolby Atmos, Concert Hall, Audio Preset, etc.
Current Config
Player: Google Play Music (cause Album colored Media Controller)
Sound Effects:
Surround/Dolby Atmos: Off
UHQ Upscaler: On (Bit and Bandwidth Upscale)
Concert Hall: On
Preset: Normal
Adapt Sound: Custom
Spotify.
Dolby atmos on.
Custom sound on. Depending where I play. I got profiles to use on my car ICE, wired headphones and BT headphones.
I find dolby atmos improve spotify by far.. Before it spotify sound quality sucks

I've been going back and forth between PowerAmp and N7.
So far trying PowerAmp and sounds the same until I switch to this preset.
EQ: Speakers (Loud)
Reverb: Off
Resampler: SoX 99.0%
Output: Hi-Res, Sample 384kHz from 48kHz
Buffer: Normal
DVC: ON
MusicFX: OFF
Any PowerAmp users want to share their profiles or suggest changes to mine?
I just use the stock Samsung Music Player that comes bundled with the Samsung OS. It is pretty good and plays whatever I want. Seeing as I keep all my music stored locally on my microSDcard.

Audio Max Volume

Some music apps (ie Slacker) set the audio volume to MAX when going from one song to another.
Has anyone else experienced this ?
I use GoneMAD for music and it doesn't change audio levels between songs. Neither does Spotify or YouTube Music.
