What do you want to do? You won't improve the appalling latency without Google fixing things.

improve O1's audio quality

How can i improve audio playback on o1..Add DSP effects and all on froyo itself m not waiting for a gingerbread port...tried the DSP manager doesnt work and plz plz find a way around for this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885535
i tried installing and also replacing stock app with root explorer ..neither works...plz i want to turn O1 into a sound machine..
Also Is there a s/w decoding based music player that offer awesome audio along with DSP effects like reverb etc...600MHz is powerful enough to produce good quality audio i believe..
EDIT: http://www.bel.fi/~alankila/android-dsp/
installing according to instructions at http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-dsp-equalizer-on-your-rooted-android-phone-with-froyo-stock-rom/ only leaves o1 audio-less i.e. replacing stock libaudioflinger.so ..messes up the audio
ALso i m not running stock ROM..However its noejn's mod of the stock rom ,Megatron... HElp i m an audiophile
I am also looking forward to more options, improvements and advancements in this area. A working dsp like application will be awesome. One can use equalizers in video also. Btw, does anybody know of an app that allows audio equalizers in videos?

But since the natural frequency response is not as good (not close to ideal as iphone or nokia 5800xm), how much would these apps help ?

Actually PowerAMps Eq is quite effective actually...n it reduces crosstalk too... poweramp's stereo sucks (isnt wide enough for my tastes)....
is anybody using gingerbread's music player on froyo??? Does it bring any changes
i use PowerAMP and i think its pretty cool. The EQ was great !

[Q] Audio Input Level in Video Recording?

Hi Guys. I seriously looked into this question, but couldn't find the answer anywhere.
...
I was in a music festival in Latvia, called POSITIVUS, and I was photographing and filming the living hell out of this festival. Afterwards, I was watching the filmed material and the sound by filming the bands perform, was... one word - terrible. I was thinking - yeah, it was loud, so, no wonder. But then i saw the same band in practically the same footage filmed next to me, with my friends iPhone 4 and in his footage the sound was great. No noise, no speakers blasting horrible sounds.
...
SO, i was wondering... maybe someone knows how to limit the sound input in video recording so it wouldn't sound like the speakers are about to blow up.
...
Please dev's... could you look into this?
There's a hacked Camera App, try that...

I am on Villain ROM with VillainRomTweaks and i Installed the better camera apk., I never would ask for something like that, IF IT WAS SO OBVIOUS!

DEV's I am hoping for your help... Please, Devs...
I have the same problem. I've recorded a live concert and the sounds are terrible. I'm sure it is possible to fix that.
For sound recording only, I'm using Hi-Q MP3 recorder. This app allows to control volume input levels. The result is much better.
If there was a way to link the Hi-Q recorder to the video app as the default audio then we would be one step closer.....
Any Solution for this ???????????/
I have the same problem? Anybody can help????/

Could audio feature deserve more support?

ZTE advertised A7 with High Quality sound capability on the first place targeting audiophile buyers. The question is that users are satisfied with support what ZTE provide in this subject? Is it OK that Music Player cannot handle metadata in appropriate way, cannot list songs in right order, doesn't show any technical info about material, is laggy and slow after being 8 months on the market? Can't you expect more from an audiophile(?) phone?
Have ZTE done anything to share DAC info with developers in order to make HQ Audio feature available in other Players at least.
To tell true I am very disappointed. And you?

I'm using Play Music app and the DAC is activated as far as i can tell. You don't have to use their Music player.
One issue that bugs me is the inability to change the EQ settings in Dolby atmos, they always revert back to normal and the sliders don't stay where you want them to. Talked to ZTE they said its a software issue and maybe the new update will fix it.

Through OpenSL ES. Unfortunately it converts everything to 48/16 first. Yes, then sound goes to DACs. I don't find direct DAC option in settings or a word about it in guide. If it exists please let me know.
Update: may be check wrong player.
I have found two players with name "Play Music Player". May be there more. What do I choose?
USB Audio Player Pro. Play through Android mode, variable bitrate (gets around the android fixed sampling). Worth the money and uses the built in DAC.

Luckily it has free trial version.
http://www.extreamsd.com/index.php/uapp-trial
It also recognized DSD/DSF file. Of course Player can play DSF in PCM mode but it can payed it in DoP and native mode as well. Hurray, it is believable because AKM chips support DSD.
At this point I though to install Player onto Samsung Note 3 with Snapdragon 800. As I know SD800 doesn't support DSD. The result is same. It sounds in all three modes. After this I don't know what to think. I would think that Player overrides my choice and chooses the first capable mode. I would but why doesn't the fourth auto mode exist? Hmmm.
Update: Looks that DSD setting is only for USB DAC. Too bad. Anyway, the program is not bad at all. Thanks.
I did test and compare stock and USB player. Although UAPP writes that Android gets high sample rate stream, the stock player sounds clearly better. It is no doubt.
Have you tried using PowerAmp? It has built in DAC control and this overrides the Dolby Settings (Dolby app becomes unusable when this is selected in PowerAmp). Sound is great and it has a great way to control the EQ. I've using PowerAmp since my first Android phones and now with this is just awesome!

As I see there is no other option. The only problem is that PA is not free and alpha version doesn't have free trial. Correct me if I am wrong. I had used PA several years ago but it changed the sound badly in flat mode too so I stopped to use it. I hope it has been changed but I'd like to check it first. I am not interested in dolby or EQ.

The PlayStore free version gives you a 14 days trial period. Try it and if you like it I think it's worth the money.

You can download v2 and then sign for the beta. It will update to the alpha v3 build 703 and you can still use it for 14 days. You don't need the premium version in order to try the latest build

OK finally I could manage it. I cannot say anything about quality yet but I would have question. It seems to me that fix sample rate must be preset otherwise app does up or downsample. Isn't there option to send stream to DAC as it is? It is more annoying for me because I listen 88.2/24 materials recently.

Yes, it's ok. The problem is that i cannot set auto sample rate. I don't expext upsampling from PA. I would let this job to be done by dac. I think that's what stock player does.

No problem with that. I hate it not because of sound quality. I don't know whether anything related to sound quality can be set in this app at all but I don't even care. I can accept that others like Google concept but sorry it's not for me at all.

I am using PA (bought it) also and afaik the auto samplerate feature is not built in. This might come in a future release but despite the releasedate of the last beta, I have doubts that this will come anytime soon.
I still bought PA in the hope that the dev is still actively developing, maybe a little naive.

Viper Audio

I have it working as of tonight. Using the app from the 2.6.0.5 thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-viper4android-fx-2-6-0-0-t3774651
Install that APK, then install the driver inside the app. Optionally, if you want Viper to work in a larger amount of apps, install the Audio Modification Library module from the Magisk repo. This was needed for me to have it working in Spotify.

AFAIK Viper has always required root, so I am guessing you will be out of luck until someone can figure out the bootloader unlock.
I posted the info to help others as well rather than creating a new thread.

I successfully installed viper using this method, but none of the settings actually improve the sound. To be clear, I don't think the regular pixel 3 sounds bad. It doesn't have as clear of high notes as the pixel 2 but the pixel 2 didn't have any presence of low notes either.
All I can do with viper so far is make the speakers louder at low volume settings, simulate reverb, which sounds terrible, or adjust the equalizer, which doesn't change anything. Any tips?

Are you using IRS files for the Convolver setting? That is where it's noticable the most for me. Headphone/Bluetooth quality improves drastically.

I personally like the Soundalive Clarity profile. It takes some tuning to notice a difference on the Pixel 3 speakers (much more noticable on the OG Pixel), but the headphone/bluetooth differences are night and day. That profile does increase the high note clarity on the speakers IMO.
As you mentioned, the Viper changes don't seem to affect the speakers in any meaningful way, so for now, I'll wait until our device is officially supported.
our device is fully supported, you have to use the irs files to really hear a difference. What cambunch was saying is that the file he used didn't make a drastic change, but that doesn't mean it's not working. The pixel 3 speakers are tuned pretty well out of the box, so results won't be super earth shattering. If you listen to bluetooth it can be really dramatic.

Thank you for the explanation, but it's not just the irs files that I want to use. Viper has a long list of tweaks built into the app that simply don't have any effect on the Pixel 3 speakers. The Pixel 2's speakers could easily be adjusted using any number of effects built into the Viper app (equalizer, bass, treble, reverb, etc). When will those features be supported by the Pixel 3?

+1 to this one, noted you need root like but been using this year's even purchased it twice
I use Advanced Audio Recorder from the Play Store. Uses both top and bottom mics and with a couple of settings changes, it sounds absolutely fantastic and can record to FLAC. Unprocessed sounds really clean, benefiting from good preamps (like in my old Samsung S9). https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pk.aar&hl=en_GB&gl=US
