A problem with volume spikes in music apps that have their own equalizer - Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers

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?

headset control buttons

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.

[Q] Disable headset controls for Music Mod (but not other music players)

Is there a way to disable headset controls in the version of Music Mod that's currently incorporated into CM6.1-RC1?
Music Mod is cool and all, but I prefer PowerAMP and Music Mod sometimes intercepts headset controls when I actually want to start PowerAMP.
I've looked high and low through system settings and CyanogenMod settings, and can't seem to find a settings menu within Music Mod itself. Is there a simple solution that I'm overlooking?
do you mean like if you use the controls on the headset instead of controlling your current app triggers the default music player installed as stock on the android (not sure if Music Mod is stock... i just know it as Music)? because i have the same problem! ill be using pandora and the pause/play triggers either Music.apk or Winamp and its really annoying.
Yeah dude, that sounds like exactly the problem I'm having! Here's hoping the XDA brain trust can help us out :]
I have the same issue while using Pandora! Hope there's a fix?
Not that it helps this specific problem, but go to now playing, then menu>more>settings for settings.

[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.

Equalizer for Sirius?

When I use Google Play Music or the built-in Music app I'm able to access the SoundAlive Equalizer to make adjustments. However, I see no way to access and equalizer from the SiriusXM app, nor do I see a way to set universal SouldAlive settings. Is there any way to do so, and if not does anyone recommend and equalizer that would apply uniform settings for all apps? I tried adjusting the SoundAlive equalizer settings via Google Play Music's interface to it while the SiriusXM app was playing, but doing so made no difference (whereas it has an obvious effect when Google Play Music or the built-in Music app are playing).

Possible audio equalisation problems

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?
