Sound mods - Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers

Has anyone managed to install Dolby Atmos?? I managed to root stock firmware but am unable to install any sound mods!! Has anyone any ideas? I've tried Zirene,Atmos and Viper and none of them work!! Many thanks in advance

I haven't managed to get sound mods to work on any device I've tried - Sony or Samsung (and a Lenovo P2). That said, crude but effective volume increase can be modded, instructions in this thread. If you have any idea how to get this working, please post it here! Ideally I'd be using one of them as well as a system wide vol boost / eq.

Install the viper4android module with magisk, but first uninstall, disable, audio fx and sound settings. It works fantastic.

I just installed v4a apk to get v4a working on my xt1642
Just curious. Exactly how is V4A improving audio for you? The output to decent in-ears (Philips Fidelio S1, 32 Ohm, high sensitivity) is already pretty good through Poweramp v3 Alpha (SoX resampler and no EQ) to my ears. Easily loud enough and with better clarity than my old ipod nano 3rd gen. I play mostly 320k mp3s, some 16/44.1 and 24-bit FLACs (even though I know that it is all resampled to 16/48). Is V4A for tonal tweaks or is there some magic to digital signal handling going on?

Use mid-high range earphones you'll love v4a
Better buy JBL,rha,...BOSE they sounds incredible with v4a
Thank guitardedhero!
Great to see the Moto G4 Plus Viper4android thread @DJTeeJay!
It's been such fun since Viper took over audio control of my phone!
Hope more Moto G4 users share their experience and Viper preferences to help unlock maximum possibilities of this phone's sound.
Thanks
I flashed stock viper 4.71 fromhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/viperaudio-viperatmos-3-8-sq-driver-t3289075, wiped dalvik and rebooted. What are all those zips and the app in op for?
Some out of those zips are flashable variants of Viper, such as Atmos or DolbyDigital+ or Sony Beats which are customized versions built from respective roms the related audio effects/settings have been ported.
The rest are either IRS samples or profiles or DDC samples, which unlike the main app, can be extracted and put into the corresponding sub folders into the Viper folder on SD card.
--------------------------------
My current config:
XT1643 RR 5.7.4 Viper 2.3.4.0 (came inbuilt with the ROM thankfully!) DolbyDigital+ 2 IRS over Dfx 1.3 pro (can't be more happy dfx works flawlessly with Viper) headset mode via 3.5 stereo through Fiio E17K Alpen on Sennheiser HD598

Audio mod - Dolby?

Hello there,
I've checked out a few threads but can't find any pertaining to my exact situation.
So I'm on OB28, so Oreo OOS, tried a few proposed sound mods but none of them seem to work or else I'm doing something wrong.
Flashed a few compatible TWRP recoveries and rooted. Tried that ARISE mod but either the mods I'm interested in don't work or seem to give me FCs on reboot. Tried random dolby zips which don't do anything. I've even had a "factory data reset" message on startup with an automatic reboot to recovery.
Is there any decent audio mod that works on Oreo OOS (preferably Dolby)? If so, please show me how to get this done.
Thanks
There is no practical way to get Dolby Atmos working on Oreo as of now. Dolby Digital, however, can work. You can flash this mod by guitardedhero:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74880570&postcount=31701
Note that every other audio mod needs to be removed including any in Magisk for this to work. Viper can be flashed after this works but not a priori. SELinux permissive is necessary.

[MOD] DOLBY ATMOS for OREO (8.0/8.1) [SHARE]

Not my work, just sharing this awesome work.
Here is the link for the official Dolby Oreo port -
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4365169&d=1513721346
Just flash it in TWRP 3.2.1.0
*MAGISK REQUIRED
Tested working on AEX 5.1
It significantly improved audio quality and loudness.
Original post link -
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74943166&postcount=31837
UNINSTALLATION-
Simply remove the module from Magisk Manager and reboot.
Just a tip to manually increase volume -
1. Go to *root* > vendor > etc
2. Open mixer_paths_tasha.xml in editor.
3. To increase speaker volume -
Find "RX7 DIGITAL VOLUME" and change it's value from 84 to 87
For headphones volume -
Find HPHL and HPHR and change their values from 12 to 15.
4. Reboot device.
Just hit the thanks button if it helps.
Yes working on pixel experience rom 8.1.0

Not yet. Try clearing cache/dalvik or dirty flashing the ROM. But this mod won't get any ROM into bootloop.

Sound output through headphones seem a bit increased but yes, through speaker it's still a bit low. Guess we have to wait devs to increase the volume in their respective Oreo ROMs first.
Works Good. I'm on AOSP Extended Oreo 8.1 beta (26/12/2017 build) and I can observe significantly better sounds while watching videos (in MX player) through Phone's speaker.
Thanks for sharing.?

Does it require root? I'm on AOSP extended 5.1 but no Magisk/Su installed. Will it work alright? Thanks in advance.

It's a Magisk module, so yeah you need to have Magisk installed.

I flashed this mod on Validus 8.1 but no Dolby app has appeared on my phone and on top of that, my AR Sticker pack has also been disabled although both of em being shown as enabled on Magisk Manager.

You only need to uninstall magisk completely and re-install it. No need to uninstall all the modules. Magisk will start working again along with the modules.

Sound Mod | Viper4Android | Magisk 16 |Oreo | 25.04.2018

Hi guys,
I just tested several Sound Mods for Android. So I want to share my best settings for the HTC U11 + U sonic Earphones with you.
Working on:
Stock based ROM (8.0 based)
LOS based ROM (8.1 based)
Install Viper4Android via MagiskManager (Get it from here or directly under Downloads in Magisk, I am using Viper4Android 2.6.0.4 with the new Material Design)
Reboot
Install the AINUR Audio Mod (Get it from here or install it directly through Magisk Manager -> Downloads -> Ainur Sauron.)
Reboot
Install AML(Audio Modification Library) via Magisk or flash it from here
Reboot
Open Viper4Android. Driver Status should be working now. If not dirty Flash your ROM and start again at 1.
Load my HTC U11 Profile that I attached to this post. When using Viper4Android FX greater or equal to version 1.6 than use the v2 Profile. Everything lower than Viper4Android FX 1.6 just use the v1 Profile. Unzip the attached File to the Viper4Android Folder at the Internal Storage of your Device. Dont forget to load the Profile in V4A.
Hope you are enjoing this as much as I do. If you got any recommendations or suggestions let me know.
for me is processing on no, have already made as described a dirty flash of my Rom
edit: I have solved the problem with the music player just pause and play again and it works

Did you already installed another soundmod? This happened to me after I flashed ARISE. Only a full wipe helped me out. I am also using Leedroid R124.
I uninstall sauron and aml befor i try to flash all the stuff in the way you describe it. Before i have sauron only.

Hmm maybe its a problem with sauron that Dolby dont work when you flash sauron before. As I said I recommend a complete wipe then it should work without any problems.

I saw in Leedroid thread that you have to change a line in arise_parameters1.prop , to avoid bootloops
After flashed as your instructions, everything works like a charm bur only ANC not work anymore
I finally got it to work, but sound quality is not as good as on Dolby Atmos Nougat, I think I will stick to V4A + usb dongle boost mod till dolby is updated
Will just the viper4Android work and give good sound quality
Sent from my 2PZC5 using XDA Free mobile app
Actual Dolby can't work while V4A works, at least with me, I have to disable one of them so the other work, but anyway actual dolby on oreo is not good as audio quality, it was way better on Nougat
I have yet to get Ahrion's version of Viper4Android FX to work. Even his AM3D Zirene Sound hasn't worked for the 11 since Magisk. The only one that works for me is ShadySquirrel's for Magisk v15.

I can use Ahrion's version, but it has to be the v1.5.2/2.5.0.5 version. I've never been able to get any 2.3.4.0 versions to work on Oreo, due to the driver not being able to install.
Anybody get Dolby to install? I'm getting Api error

I must reckon the new Dolby port on Oreo is pretty good, I am using dynamic selection to boost both surround and bass. Always be sure to have Dolby surround mode On (green icon)

[FIX] [AOSP] Improve audio recording in video and calls

After devs changed fluencetype to fluence in build.prop for low incall volume, noise cancellation is so agressive. This fix solve distortion that you can find in your recordings.
- Tested in firmware 9.5.30
- Tested in Pixel Experience CAF and Vortex
Instructions:
- Download NoiseSuppresionMod.zip
- Reboot to recovery
- Flash NoiseSuppresionMod.zip
- Reboot to system
It MAYBE works in MIUI.
If devs want to fix it in their ROMs, they need to replace audio_platform_info and mixer_paths in /vendor/etc
Thanks to @Zile995 . He solved it in mido and helped me to do it in lavender.
Also, thanks to @letsmakecakes. He helped me to make flashable zip.

whats this for?
Wish I had this a couple of weeks ago when I was at Primavera Sound festival! All the audio of the videos i recorded was terrible :/
Anyway, can anyone confirm this works on stock (rooted) MIUI? Thanks!
I flashed it but have yet to test it. Before flashing this I made a phone call and I could barely hear the person on the phone. That's odd because my hearing is amazing.
Thanks for the amazing work!! Nothing try in miui stock?

Hello to all,
Thank you for your work.
Someone knows if on Lineage Rom it works this patch?
Thank you in advance.
Thanks for the mod, it's working on Lineage but the recorded audio is quite low in terms of volume.
If it could be possible to increase it a little bit at least it would be perfect, thanks again!
Hello, i got some questions about this patch:
1. Do i need to root my device to apply it (flash it)?
2. Someone already tried on a Stock ROM with MIUI?
3. Sorry for asking this but, can someone explain thoroughly the process for applying this kind of fixes/patches?
Thank you friends.

Not necessarily, but you have to unlock it in order to have a custom recovery
2. Someone already tried on a Stock ROM with MIUI?
Not that I know of
3. Sorry for asking this but, can someone explain thoroughly the process for applying this kind of fixes/patches?
It's in the OP, as I already said you must have a custom recovery which means unlocked bootloader
Thank you friends.

@danielh1402 could make the previous file available, named lavender-aosp-audio-fix.zip This new file didn't work, but the old one worked. thank you!
Which exact changes were made on the mixer_paths and audio_platform_info files?
I'm trying to fix a similar audio issue on my Mi 9 SE, if you could tell me the changes it may help me a lot.
Thanks.

On Pixel Experience Official this is stoping the video (and sometimes closing the camera) while recording. How do i do to uninstall it?
On Pixel Experience doesn't work, the recorded audio is still awful. And mostly it stops the video recording.
Yesterday I was watching a video recorded with the smartphone and I noticed that the microphones are very sensitive.. maybe they're simply bad adjusted and all we need to do is to lower the gain a little bit.. I don't know. Still hoping for a V2 for this mod.
Tried on Havoc OS. Everything became much worse after flashing this "improvement", nobody could make out what I was saying.
As factory reset did not work and there is no option to uninstall the mod I had to do flashing of a new os with dalvik, cashe and data wiping.
So be aware!
Thanks! This mod work fine in Lineage OS 16 for Redmi Note 6 Pro. The mic volume was very low. Now is great.
Not working in Havoc 3.4. Made the situation worse. No option to uninstall it.
Doing reinstall of entire ROM now.
