Ear speaker boosting? - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Having the Zenfone 2 for two days, I am not satisfied with maximum ear speaker loudness.
It's not as loud as my Nexus 5 (not to speak about max loudness on Samsung s5!). Barely hearable in noisy environment.
Anyone else not satisfied?
BTW my is rooted, so where could I find an app (?) or some other way to boost the loudness?

Viper 4 Android should do the job I think...

search for SELinuxmodechanger on xda and install it..change selinux to permisive mode and reinstall viper4android..it works on my zf2..

Just done all you said. It does not seem to boost the ear speaker (maybe the rear one, but it's not what I want)

Done it, but no sucess. Are you sure that these programs support the Intel platform? There are drivers installed, but they might not work on x86 proc.?

Well, they said it is compatible and I was able to install it without problems. It works

Headset volume not very loud

So I picked up my LG3 for sprint over the weekend. Loving the phone so far, coming from a HTC one M7. Definitely prefer the G3 in every aspect however one thing I noticed is the headset volume is not as loud. Which sucks because I use my phone at the gym and it's a big difference from the HTC one. Is there an app that you guys would recommend to solve this issue? I saw someone mention the Beats Audio app, but can't seem to find it...
OR am I stuck until we can get a root and load a kernel to fix this?

Which headset/earbuds are you using?
Which music player are you using?
I use PowerAmp for Android (I also purchased the unlocker).
This app has hands down the best equalizer/booster/settings for any aspect of listening to music.
Try the free version, if it has solved your problem you may consider buying the unlocker.
Hope this has helped you out

Thanks Man,
I can use the stock music player it comes with since it has an equalizer as well and noticed it does make it louder. However, I mostly stream through soundcloud and so the equalizer doesn't have an effect on that.
There are also equalizers that will alter all the sound coming out of the phone.
No matter what the audio source is.
This app does that, you might give it a try.

Yea it sucks i got skullcandy navigators and not even poweramp sounds good but after its rooted I can modify sound file and install viper like my s5 and then it will pump.

You can change all the audio settings using ViperAudio search XDA and you will find the page, i have used this and doubles the volume and clarity, must have android mod..
I am using klipsh ear buds and they are super loud. Hurts my ears to go past about 75%. And I don't have sensitive ears either. I have a jl w7 13.5 which blasts my ears about 2 hours a day

How to get max of sound quality for music listening?

Yo,
I like to listen to music, so i'd like to tweak the sound parameters on the phone to my taste.
What can be done in this direction?
Maybe you can recommend me some apps that are good to play with EQ and other sound influenting factors?
Poweramp.
If you mean like full system equalizer, there ain't any good one out there. They tend to make loudspeaker really quiet.

Beats Audio or something similar

Hi all,
Can someone recommend something like the Beats audio installer or a similar music driver?
I tried one from another thread, it works great and improves sound (headphone) dramatically but music does not play via Bluetooth. It continues to play on phone speaker.
Thanks.

You need to go into settings, audio, advance tweaks, uncheck direct volume control and check MusicFX. Turn off equalizer, tone, and limit. Click on tone/vol and check MusicFX.
And there you go. You can from there turn on the equalizer or tone to add additional tweaks to the sound.
This should fix the problem people have been having using viper4android and poweramp.

Hi guys,
Thank you so much! Your suggestions did the trick!!!
I spent ages going through forums and instructions but this was it.
Which version?
Trying to figure out which version of the app to download, the Chinese is throwing me off though.... Which version are you guys using? I've got a good set of headphones sitting here ready to go.... I'm all sorts of giddy over anything that involves possible eargasms.
Edit:
nevermind, I'm dumb tonight. this just made cramming for calc 2 infinitely less crappy, though!

Here you go! Turns out the version on Play isn't an official apk, so that's the V4A blog page. If you dink around a little bit, you can find some more goodies on there to maximize the sound quality of your headphones.
It's pretty nice with the surround sound mod, too

Audio Tuner

On 4.7.6 I was able to set the audio tuner on and make adjustments while streaming over Bluetooth in my truck and now on 5.0.3 it is not letting me do so. Did they remove this option or is there something that needs to be enabled that I'm missing?
Do you have Viper installed? I have the same issue as well. Although on headphones Audio Tuner works just fine.

You can use Poweramp or Equalizer+ instead. The in-built tuner is for wired output.

No viper. That's the next step I guess. I was good with the built in so I was avoiding rooting it for once.

Looks like they really borked it for bluetooth... Also, I am not a fan of that little aptX icon and notification that comes up when I connect my bluetooth headphones. I can probably force to hide it but it shouldn't be the case. The toast implementation was better.

Viper4Android alternative

My rooting days are over, I'm looking for a Viper4Android alternative
Unfortunately there is no alternative for v4a. I'm also searching last two years but there is really no alternative. Either rooting or no v4a, that's simple for understanding!

A great alternative to Viper for non-rooted devices is using Neutron Music Player.
With proper configuration it can sound really good. Moreover, it has native support for hi-res audio. Viper's main disadvantage is it down/up samples to 48Khz and limits the bit depth to 16 bit. The S20 family of devices have powerful DACs capable of 384Khz/32 Bit audio so if you have hi-res audio files it would work well. The only disadvantage to using Neutron is its learning curve. It's not as user-friendly as Viper but can sound about as good with the right setup.
A good equaliser that does boost the sound is Mega equaliser , but be carefull as you could blow your speakers with the loudness togle , its free with ads or without ads for $1.49 from inside the app , works perfect on my note 10+ and note 9
Try this

Though the app has not been updated since ages...sounds good.

Got it working by
1. Install viper

3. Tap on install 'drivers' (your phone will reboot
immediately)
4. 0pen Viper and enjoy
If it doesn't work the first time, install drivers again
There was no need to flash any other module in magisk.

need help. Viper4Android installed and working via Magisk. As soon as I am on the home screen, it switches off in the background. If I start viper4android it runs again immediately. Now the strange... When I start the browser, for example, viper is running. Music runs in the background. Except on the home screen. When the screen turns off, viper is off again. What could be the reason for this?
