very loud background noise on all custom roms - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Has anyone noticed a strong background noise that distorts the sound on custom firmwares? It is easy to see when one sound sounds, and after it a pause, as, for example, in the track martin phipps - st petersburg. The first three sounds on custom firmware sound like electronic slaps, if the volume is less than half. on miui at any volume everything is fine. Will sound libs from miui help if they are moved to custom firmware?

Have you install viperfx or other soundfx?

Can anyone tell which sound libraries from miui to transfer to custom firmware and to what folder? Here is an example of libraries for xiaomi redmi note 3 pro, but on our device it does not work. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MnTmOYSrR_ZxB2GGjxWvog62vpHakdwH/view?usp=sharing

Volume booster

Hello,
For several days trying to increase the volume of the speakers but I can not,I tried various tutorials and nothing
i use SkyDragon+M8+v+7.0+Sense+7 with elite m8 kernel (fauxsound) can someone to help me ? :crying:
I need a apk like on lg g3 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.laransoft.volumeG3
Or something like that.
Thanks in advance
I wouldn't recommend boosting the volume on your speakers. The boomsound speakers are loud without any mods, and might be blown out if you try to increase that.

boomsound means? I mean I don't have any app like old "beats"..I start music and that's all... is any app named boomsound? or the 2 speakers it's named boomsound?
Sorry for my English

I agree. The phone is loud as its intended to be. If you want louder get a Bluetooth speaker.
Another user just posted in the past week or so, complaining about the crackling noise (persisted after trying other ROMs, etc.) coming from his speaker after trying to apply a volume booting mod! Pretty clear to me that he pushed the speaker too far and blew it.

Boomsound is both the name of the speakers themselves, and the (Beats like) audio effect. On most Sense ROMs (including Skydragon, I'm on it too), you should see a "b" logo appear when you use the stock music player, or most other apps that have sound (video players, Netflix, etc.). You should see a Boomsound section in your phone's Settings.
I don't have any option in settings and "b" logo dosen't apears ..

The photo clears it up. The logo (circle with lines inside it) in your photo next to the H data symbol is for the Harmon Kardon Clari-Fi audio effect. You must have chosen this in the AROMA installer when you flashed the ROM. You should also see Clari-Fi in your Settings (instead of Boomsound).
HK Clari-Fi is somewhat similar to Boomsound, and some folks think its better.
If you want to try Boomsound for comparison purposes, you can probably dirty flash (wipe cache, but keep user data) the ROM again, but pick Boomsound instead this time (I think in AROMA, the choice actually says "no audio mod").
Yes but boomsound it's better that harmon..? I need to increase ring volume..I work in a loud factory and i don't hear my phone..

Sound Quality on Nougat Based ROMs

Hi Everyone,
Is it just me or the sound quality after updating to Nougat has really gone down (that we need upgrades like A.R.I.S.E or Divine beats?). Earlier I noticed that we used to have a simple mod for any sound i.e. Viper4Android, which is still MOTHER OF ALL SOUND MODs for me .
I noticed that the audio playback is having VERY MUFFLED bass through my home theatre system over the same bluetooth connection while playing with MM ROM. I tried rolling back to MM and things work perfectly. I wish to stay on Nougat for obvious advantages of the newer UI, better battery & performance but would still like to see if anyone can port the lib from MM to N?
I don't essentially want to install ARISE or Divine Beats; for me Viper4Android is just fine and I would love if it works just the way it used to on MM.
PS: I bought my home theatre after tweaking Viper v2.5.0.5 on MM and the same is not working after updating to N.... any help is appreciated.

I use Beats Audio player & Audio Tuner from sound settings. On headphones sounds good.

The sound libraries have DEFINITELY changed in the system which are truly worse than Marshmallow!
I certainly need someone's help in getting them Ported back or else I have no other option other than rolling back to MM (since I spend 4-5 hrs/day on music). :crying:

Viper4Android and Divine beats/A.R.I.S.E are completely different. Divine beats and arise change your music first without you going into the app to change things. When I installed freedomOS with Divine beats, I notice my bass was extremely overpowered and everything just sounded like crap.... I really don't understand people's music choices sometimes. All these sound mods just make the phone sound like crap, especially since the OP3 already has a much warmer profile, meaning the bass and highs are very pronounced from the box

Exactly my point.
Even though the sound out of box was very good, using Viper4Android would take it to the next level. But Divine/A.R.I.S.E fiddle too much and extort the audio.
Marshmallow sound libraries were literally awesome and V4A on top of it would just make it mind blowing. Don't know how to get that same experience without going back from Nougat. :'(

Well you can install freedomOS without the Divine beats and what not, install Blu_spark kernel and set it to SElinux to permissive. Then you can install Viper4Android on its own and you'll have some nice audio.

I strongly recommend against this. Just install Magisk or use something that comes with Magisk preinstalled and install the Viper4Android from the Magisk repo / Magisk module. There is also one for Dolby Atmos. That way you don't have to mess with SELinux or modify system files.
Nah...Didn't go well.
Still the same sound quality. Muffled and garbled.
I have the EXACT same issue. I can't believe OnePlus went ahead and did this. Who do I tell?
I have great sound...experienceos + viper4arise with magisk. Install permissive script for magisk to avoid overheating issues. Dont tinker to much in viper . This is my speaker setting its loud and very clear. I love it.

I beg to differ from your opinion here though.
After trying out 4 different Nougat based ROMs and 4 different Marshmallow based ROMs (yeah....took a lot of time with clean installation and stuff), I easily infer that OP3 Nougat ROMs have REALLY POOR sound libraries. Viper4Android alone works well with Marshmallow based ROMs (and using it with A.R.I.S.E/Divine Beats/etc. makes it even better) and bass doesn't distort at all (saved a few Viper Profiles and re-used them between ROMs). But the same profile in Viper on Nougat sounds just CRAP!!
Don't know what the solution here. Just wish there was some way to find out what is it that is causing this to happen? Which part of sound library or which file? Can anyone help?

Headphone Output Volume

Hi guys, recently I noticed that the headphone jack output isn't as loud it used to be in the OOS 3.X days.
For example, setting my OnePlus X aside and comparing the two, I would much rather prefer the louder, more aggressive tones it produces compared to the OP3.
Does anyone know what I could do to work around this? I have the bluspark kernel currently. I flashed francokernel to use gain control and was running into stability issues and bootloops before i could even get to it.
I'm currently on OB14 and my daily driver IEMs are the Xiaomi Hybrid Pro HDs.
Thanks.
Use ARISE Sound mod + V4A. These work great. Also these are included in popular roms like FreedomOS & ExperienceOS.
Hope this helps.

Do one thing flash FreedomOS and in aroma select Arkamysa and Viper 2.5 (or whichever is latest), do not select anything else in Audio Mods. It will work for sure.

Get Viper4Android, do not get any audio mods that come with ROMs if you really do care about audio quality. All these different audio mods make music sound like absolute trash and remove a lot of clarity. Viper4Android doesn't change the sound if you don't want it too and you can go to the last option and boost the gain by I think 10db... That is plenty enough to bring it back to the loudness you like (probably way higher) while not deteriorating the sound much.

Sound Distortion using Bluetooth Headphones (QC 35)

Sound is heavily distorted when using my Bose QC 35. It doesn't appear when I use a wired headphone (and earphone). It's a software issue because downloaded media, and Soundcloud audio distorts; while playing YouTube videos don't.
It's incredibly unbearable when there's anything remotely bass to the music...
and I listen to music with lots of bass, so..
I'm using a Resurrection Remix ROM (5.8.3)
I don't use RR, and don't know if it's a known bug. Mostly just some shots in the dark here: Are there any sound mods, and if so, does disabling them make any difference?
Do the apps that cause distortion have their own EQ or other sound options, and if so does disabling them make any difference?

Nope, as far as I can tell, RR does not come with any sound mods installed.

I have tried using multiple music playing apps, with and without EQs. RR also came with an EQ app; with or without EQ, sound is still distorted.
Anyways, I do believe ResurrectionRemix is causing the sound distortion. Probably a bug on their end (as i've noticed many, already). Hoping to get a better experience once I flash a stock Android O rom (what with AptX codec and all that)...
No more custom ROMs for me. Thanks for the reply nonetheless!
UPDATE: Funnily enough, the EQ are the ones that sort of bandaged-fixed the sound problem! It seems like the 60Hz range are the ones primarily causing distortions (the bass). Lowering that made the distortions virtually impossible to hear... at the cause of losing bass, which kinda sucks. But for now, this'll do. Hopefully flashing a stock ROM next time will truly fix this.

Thank you, Sir.
Bro, is version 1 and 2 exactly the same, only 2 being louder for headphone? Otherwise loudspeaker, gaming/earpiece the same?
When doing voice calls/Skype/Viber?messenger is the earpiece/loudspeaker louder than stock? Have you enabled stereo speakers when loudspeaker phone call?
Compatible with both Nougat and Oreo?
Thanks!

Excellent, thank you for your response!
Unfortunately did not work for me.
Upon rebooting my device I get ''sound settings'' error message followed by a low buzzing sound and no sound.
I had to copy the stock.zip default back to get my sound working again.
Could you please look into this?
My device is the XZ Premium Dual G8142.
My device has unlocked bootloader and is rooted with recovery. All instructions were followed including setting the mixer_paths to RW-R-R, not working.
