Has anyone found a way to disable/remove the additional bass to all audio (on Stock ROM). Sometimes it's great but for music it's sometimes downright terrible.
Try tinkering with the AudioWizard settings.
If no luck, try your music player's EQ settings or Viper4android.

I've used viper before and I love it but for personal reasons I don't want to leave the stock ROM or do any flashing. The audiowizard has very lackluster options which don't provide a very useful description which make it hard to figure out what the bass and treble slider actually do, as they don't seem to impact the extra bass at all.
You don't need to leave stock ROM for using V4A.
The latest V4A .apk is available to install from XDA labs.
Another option, is to try the VLC media player's native equaliser (works just for music/ video files during VLC play).

I would but I can't do that without root and I'm sort of not keen on that as I've heard magisk is more unstable and not a garenteed passt for safety net (I use Google pay alot)
In that case, try any one of the top-rated volume/ bass adjusting apps via Play store - see if it does the job for you.
VLC media player has it's own equaliser.
You can freeze/ disable AudioWizard via stock settings, or try SD-maid or Titanium.

DO NOT FREEZE AudioWizard! Device will panic on boot then reboot to recovery.

Thank you for this info. I was genuinely not aware of this.
I've had a couple of nightmare situations where the ROG3 would shut-down (power-off) by itself every time I powered it on - I thought this was because of a rogue app/ magisk module or perhaps a virus; I ended up doing a factory reset eventually to recover my phone.

So Google Play Music is one of my favorite android apps, i use it daily and i never really had many issues with it until i got note 3.
Like usual i just plug in my headphones and start listing to music. the problem is that sometimes after 1 song sometimes after 2, the next song is playing but there is no audio. I try to switch tracks and same thing.
Couldn't figure out what it was, i removed the headphones and plugged them back in and the audio started playing again. Tried skipping to the next song, and no audio again.
Does anyone have the same issue or knows how to fix it? I've updated the app to the latest version but i still have that issue. I tried removing the updates and same thing. Can't remove the app completely since the note is not rooted and i am not planning on rooting it just yet since the security in Knox gets triggered and voids the warranty.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!
Figured it out, it was the built in EQ. Once disabled , everything worked. Now i have to find an aftermarket eq that supports google music

I now presume you simply disabled the eq in the Google Play Music app. Here is a complete solution to fix the EQ bug.
So i did some searching on google specifically for the equalizer, and this issue is a problem across many galaxy devices. I do not have the link but basically the stock equalizer needs to be disabled.
0. Get the replacement equalizer for Google Music called "equalizer" (only equalizer)
Disable Stock Equalizer:
1. Go to settings
2. Go to device
3. go to sounds
4. go to music effects
5. Select "Equalizer" instead of "Music FX"
I have been using viper4android on my Note 3. I had been using volume+ before I got my N3.
Viper is VERY good and has a tonne of settings.
The only bad thing is that it has little hiccups where the music fades out for a moment and then comes back. I don't like the hiccups, but still worth using to me.
Oops, meant to say I mostly use Google Play Music. It also works with Pandora and most everything else I have tried with viper.
I had this problem (stock, no root) and the equalizer was not turned on. The ATT OTA seems to have fixed my audio issues.

Did you install it from the play store or from this xda thread? If the latter, I presume you edited your build.prop? just checking.

Finally decided to root and installed FOS 1.3 and I am happy with the result. I choose ARISE during installation and set it up according to instructions with V4A and Dolby Atmos (with SELinux Permissive).
The issue is, it processes my music player, Youtube and every sound system wise (ringtone, notification etc.) - the difference is noticeable right away after tweaking the settings. However, the setup does not affect Chrome - the sound is quiet and tinny. V4A says status Normal, but processing NO.
Device: A3003, Freedom OS 1.3, Boeffla Kernel.
Things I've tried to no avail:
Clean reinstall of FOS with ARISE
Clean reinstall of FOS without ARISE, then installed ARISE from their official thread.
Changing kernel to stock
Clearing cache/data for V4A, Dolby Atmos
Anyone had success to make Chrome working?
Thanks.
Type chrome://flags/#disable-unified-media-pipeline in the address bar, enable that function, and you are done

That did the trick I knew it was something up with Chrome, but did not knew this flag.
A little update. Looks like not all pages working. For example when playing html5 video on Dailymotion it is not processing. On another tab, Soundcloud does.

Hello, I'm having this same issue, however I can't locate this flag in chrome in order to disable it. Has this flag been renamed in the latest chrome update? Any idea where I can look? Thank you.
.Create a module to disable audio focus
So that me can watch sports and listen to music or play games listing to music.
Many games support this. But good games don't (pogo)

i have no idea. never tried this. audio focus doesn't bother me. just read the article and follow along and try
Old thread but in case someone is still looking at this; "App ops" by Xingchen & Rikka can disable audio focus for any app. There is an option to force allow adio focus denial to any app.
Information
HMD Global ships Android with the stock MusicFX equalizer app which is pretty limited in terms of functionality. This guide aims to assist you to install AudioFX equalizer sourced from LineageOS 16.1 on your Nokia 6.1/7 Plus/ 6.1 Plus which will provide you with slightly better control over how your music sounds.
Disclaimer
AudioFX is meant to be distributed with LineageOS and not meant to be used with other configurations. Since this is so, the functionality of the app is unpredictable and may be rendered broken after a future OS update. There is little that I can do to mitigate these failures. However, I encourage users to experiment and figure things out for themselves if the app does break. Certain Custom ROMS and Audio players ship with their Equalizers and these may interfere with the functioning of AudioFX. Therefore I encourage users to test using close-to-stock ROMs or Audio players without built-in equalizers.
Prerequisites
Android Version 9.0
Few minutes of your spare time
Instructions
Force Stop all audio playback apps.
Go to settings -> Apps & Notifications -> See all apps -> Toggle "Show System" in the three-button menu
Locate "MusicFX"
Clear storage, cache and then force stop and disable the MusicFX app.
Download and Install the AudioFX app linked with this post.
Open up a music app of your choice. I'll be using Spotify here.
Go to Spotify Settings -> Equalizer. You will be greeted with a small pop up asking to select default equalizer. Select "AudioFX" and set to always open.
(OPTIONAL) Disable Battery Optimization for AudioFX.
Reboot your phone.
Test if your EQ is functional by toggling the EQ On/Off switch within AudioFX and observing if the audio sounds different.
Bugs
Sometimes there are multiple entries for AudioFX in the prompt that asks you select default EQ. Select the first option in this case.
Other times, EQ doesn't function at all. I do not know how to fix this. Feel free to experiment and report your findings on this thread.

AudioFX is part of LineageOS Source

Is there a way to set custom eq presets? Or device dependent profiles (different presets for speaker/wired/bt)?
The audioWizard app seems a bit lacking - or i might be doing it wrong - first day w/ the phone.
Thank you.
You cant even disable it sadly, music might be the least intrusive preset.
Sadly, Android is lacking proper, open source, equalizer apps/software. I use wavelet currently for this reason, it seems pretty versatile.

Thanks for the tip. It's an actually good audio manager - without root too.
Wavelet: headphone specific EQ - Apps on Google Play
Headphone specific equalization with lots of customizability
play.google.com
Used James DSP previously. There are nice and comprehensive audio managers but I'm not planning on rooting.... yet
It's a pity the left that bare-bone app (audiowizard) since the phone has good speakers and wired output.

It is indeed excellent. It also handles my 80ohm Superlux HD 668B with just enough loudness properly equalized.
