Non-SoundAlive Equalisers causing distortion. - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Hey all,
So as the title says really, I'm trying to use a third party equaliser in place of Sound Alive with no luck.
I really wanted to try Viper4android because I've heard fantastic things about it, however I'd rather retain the warranty for my phone, so I went looking elsewhere. A lot of suggestions on the forums praise Noozxoide as a good equaliser, so I thought I'd give it a go over stock. Except it distorts all sound when I use it. This happened with other non-root equalisers as well.
I've tried disabling Sound Alive and Sound Adapt in Package Disabler, it just won't work; all distortion.
Any way to fix this?

What's wrong with the Dolby Atmos?
Without root you can't get better sound than stock Dolby.
Noozxoide is outdated since 5 years...

i'm using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wiseschematics.reeq01&hl=en from the Play Store without disabling anything

Give ACID Audio Engine a shot

[MOD] Hey guys here's a link to ACiD Audio Engine. I've been using this audio engine and the results have been pretty great.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002367
Use the universal installation in aroma and remember if you install walkman don't install any add-ons.
I personally skip the walkman installation and use the noozy add-on.
Please do a nandroid backup before trying and do not install on top of nocturnal's music mod.
Remember not to use music player equalizer as the installed app changes sound system wide.
Thanks for viewing and give thanks to the acid forum if you find this useful.
lol i read this as Give ACID a shot. I was like i like this guys thinking.
Never the less, great find, gonna try this out.
Dude you just made my day lol.
Make sure if you use Walkman not to install any sound add on as it will conflict.

I changed the link to get to the universal aroma app. Sorry for any confusion.
Does anyone know if this can be mixed with the beats audio mod? Thank you.

Sorry dude, they state pretty clearly that you shouldn't install on top of any other mod as it will cause issues. I personally wouldn't do it all though you could always nandroid back.
What is every ones opinion on this? Is this better then beats audio?

The links not working.
I tried the nooze option and I didn't really like it. The bass is still distorted. I need a driver that adds more power like DPS Manager from CM

Did you go into the noozxoide EIZO-rewire app. That's where you adjust all settings and it has more options in it that alot of other equalizers don't. It lets you adjust from megabass to other various engines.

Yeah I did. But what I need is more power to handle it. A lot of bass but little power doesnt sound to good. My Galaxy Nexus did provide it and it sounded flawless.:laugh:

I get what your saying. I have beats pro headphones but, not a good gauge of power since they use batteries. Good to hear though.

I tried the beats addon and same thing. I would love for it to sound the same as my Nexus. I really miss that phone.
I'll try the walman and see if I notice anything different.

[Q] Volume Boost / Increase

Hi There,
I have a Galaxy Tab3 7.0 and I'm wondering how I can go about increasing the headset volume? Even at 15, it's still pretty low for me. I've tried a few of the volume boost apps on the app store but none of them work.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
Also looking for the same. Viper worked for me, but caused massive distortion even with modest settings. On the plus side, with an EQ running I find that sound quality is great via the headphone jack, it sounds nice in my car.

My bad - to clarify, I am not using Viper and don't recommend trying it, due to the distortion (which let me know that it technically worked). It sounds great in my car- without Viper - partially because my car stereo adds a 18db boost.
I dunno if this will help, but I found this volume hack/mod for the galaxy s4. I have this installed on my phone, but I dunno If this will work on the tablets. It is a flashable zip file... If any of you brave people wanna flash and confirm if this works on the tablets that would be awesome

ViPER4Android Audio Effects Settings

Hello,
I installed ViPER4Android Audio Effects in the effort to make my phone speaker louder, and, perhaps, sounds better.
However, after installation, I played around with all the different settings.
And for the life of me, I can't get it to sound anything decent. In fact, stock sounded much better, sans loudness.
Please kindly share your settings, I would like to mimic them.
Thank you.

Viper 4 Android is really geared for headphone & IEM users TBH. for the regular speakers it just crackles and makes the experience worse

Yes I did, and yes I've seen the video but those settings on my phone don't do sh!+ they make it all crackle, however using any good iem it makes it a nice touch.

No crackle on my notesss or tabsss. In fact sounds great!
I mainly just use Viper for my headphones but when I turned it on for the speaker, I didn't hear any crackle. As far as settings, I just play with it until it sounds good for me.

[Q] Sound equalizer

I am asking developers or may be advanced users if anybody knows how to tweak the built in equalizer. Why i'm asking is because it is killing any bass instance when playing music and it's more like listening to a quiet music with flat sound, it really is annoying sometimes. May be there is a way to change some files?

If your device is rooted you may try Viper4Android. It installs its own driver and gives you plenty of settings. You may boost your basses in many ways. Just be sure to make a backup of your /etc/audio_effects.conf file because it is modified by V4A and OTA updates may do a MD5 hash check against this file.
Ok, thanks i'll try it out

Question Dolby Atmos MD2 Edition - Magisk Module

Coming from OnePlus 7 Pro - I really liked the audio processing/equalizer capabilities that were built in when connecting to my 2020 Corolla (that doesn't have AndroidAuto because Toyota is stupid)
I was looking at Viper4Android and reading the problems people were having keeping it running didn't appeal to me.
Has anyone else tried this? https://github.com/reiryuki/Dolby-Atmos-MD2-Edition-Magisk-Module/blob/main/README.md
It installed fine first try and the Dolby app appears to be working when I poke through the app, but I don't have any headphones at work to test with.
I'm looking forward to seeing if I can get back to great sound music in the car again this afternoon!
Viper 4 Android might be a pain to get to work on whatever devices, but it's totally worth it. Someone always finds out how to make it work. There's a thread for it in here - find it and do the one where you modify a line in a file (NOT as difficult as it may sound lol). Worked perfectly for me. You'll understand v4a once you have it working. Seriously. I've been using it for years. It's night and day, even in my Audi.

I appreciate this. While I got viper working on the speakers of my phone, when attached to my p.o.s. Toyota Corolla, it refuses to process. So I'm back to Dolby app I posted above which is working...but now I want viper to work.
viper works great with pixel 6 pro rooted

I finally got it working in Legacy mode today!
After a lot of poking around and dragging around I kind of got the car sounding better. It really takes a lot to get the quality back where it used to be,but not exactly there yet.
