How to make Spotify sound better? best audio mods? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hey guys, I recently started listening to me a lot of Spotify. I was wondering what tips you had to improve sound quality other than setting it to high quality. I have a couple magisk mods, but they don't seem to help. What else do you recommend to improve sound quality? It doesn't sound near as good as my iPhone and iPad.

Viper4arise helps a lot. Install it through magisk. In comparison, atleast when in car when streaming spotify through BT, its like day and night. I simply use Equalizer, Viper Clarity and Viper Bass.

Turn off volume normalization, it restricts the dynamic range.

Is the audio compatibility patch necessary? What does it do?

Walkman'ish quality?

Hi guys,
so one thing has been bothering me since I plugged my earphones into my Z1C - the sound quality. I used to own a Walkman mp3 player and I loved its sound quality, but it's less than half of that in my phone. I don't get as many bass if any at all when using crystal clear sound or whatever it's called. If I manually turn the bass down, it increases by a small amount, but the overall sound quality goes down significantly. Is this a common problem? (or a problem at all?) What do you think? Do you enjoy your music experience or do you try to fight it? Is there any way to make music sound better without installing any 3rd party players?
Have a nice day.

Exactly the same story here.
The clear audio + mode sounds terrible in my opinion. I'm using the Unique and bass boost equalizer presets in sound enhancements. They sound much closer to my Walkman.
if you have root you can install viper fx and inside it there is an option to configure a lot of thing and mod sound in headphone i dont use it but everyone in viper fx thread confirm that it makes a miracle so maybe it's worth to try
Pathetic Sound Quality

Wasn't planning to root at the moment. However problem solved - Poweramp.

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.

Does Dolby Atmos even work?

Hi guys! Can anyone please confirm the following? Play some music and go to music settings -> dolby atmos -> change modes (music -> dynamic -> none) all those 3 sounds the same only movie setting makes a difference! I have used dolby atmos before in a rooted phone and it was amazing, but this is ****! Just check and if what i claimed above is true can you guys please raise a bug report in oneplus forum? it seems new members cant start a thread!
It's dynamic/movie/music
Dynamic is either music or movie from my experience, and it chooses the setting depending on what you are listening to, music or a movie. Dolby atmos is always on, as an optimisation for the speaker. Sounds good for me
if you want to hear the difference plugin some good quality earphones and play some good song.. you might hear the difference..

I have heard the difference, I use Bose soundsport. Checked the difference in quality on my Pixel 3 and OP 7T.
I dunno about Atmos etc, but the speakers do sound good nevertheless.

Any audio mod for the OGs?

I am rooted, just want to have a better quality audio from the headphones (bundled earphone), and a bit loud if possible, because in some places the audio is tremendously low even at max volume! Any good audio mod available? Viper or anything as such?
Thanks in advance.

Bluetooth audio level on car radio

Ok, audio via phone Bluetooth connection question.
I recently exchanged my Samsung Galaxy S9 for a OnePlus 7T, and I notice that with the new phone, I have to play music on my car radio (Kia Forte) at a higher level of sound. Sound quality is good though. Has anyone had a similar experience, be it an Android or an iOS phone? Thanks!
I've been trying to work this out myself.
I moved from a Galaxy S8 to a OnePlus 7t and I stream my music via Bluetooth to my JBL Charge 4; I have been feeling like volume has been a lot lower and bass is just not there like it was on the S8. But then I had been flicking between Spotify and Deezer on my S8 so that could have contributed to the confusion as the volumes levels differ a bit on there too.
I'm on 10.0.9 (Stable - EU) and believe it to be quieter and lacking in comparison to Samsung :/
Try dolby atmos equalizer and you can feel the difference of volume boost and audio quality had same problem on my car with sony BT stereo but with that app it's a lot better, give it a try.. You can find it under "oneplus 7t themes apps and mods"

Are you referring to the APK? I did see this the other day but wasn't sure if it persisted after reboot

My T-Mobile 7T has the Dolby Atmos equalizer option, and it does help with sound quality, but not overall loudness.
Also, I tried this on my OP, and it more or less helps with a bit louder sound, but not as loud as the Samsung.

Yes the apk.. to get it working properly you need to disable the in-built one, either via adb or disable application app (root)
