My previous setup for music was to cast Spotify to my Chromecast Audio, through a tube amp to my DT990 250 ohm headphones (really good cans for $129). Although this was nice, I always felt restrained to my chair for quality audio enjoyment. That all changed with the Xperia X Compact.
I'm really impressed with this small device. The audio output is by far the best I've come across. The 24-Bit DAC, 192kHz is pretty standard nowadays but the software is what makes all the difference. I wanted that Walkman vibe and I definitely got that with this device.
Setting > Sound > Audio setting
DSEE HX:
Digital Sound Enhancement Engine - software that analyzes sound sources and expands high frequencies to near High Resolution Audio quality.
ClearAudio+
Fine-tunes sound for an immersive, emotionally enriching experience.
Audio setting + headphone pairing:
For high impendance/open-back headphones, 60 ohms and above:
enable 'DSEE HX', that's it. This works across most apps, including Spotify. Low end headphones will not notice a difference.
For low impendence/close-back headphones, 32 ohms and below:
Setting > Sound > Audio setting > Sound effects > Headphone settings > Surround sound (VPT) > Studio
Enbable 'S-Force Front Surround'
For in-ear/ear-buds headphones:
I found the best setting is to leave everything disabled
For mono tracks (The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, 60's music etc.):
Setting > Sound > Audio setting > Sound effects > Headphone settings > Surround sound (VPT) > Club
Enable 'Dynamic normalizer' & 'S-Force Front Surround'

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to avoid problems with sound quality at high volume levels. I noticed strange sound artifacts (high quality headphones)
so i decided to test with udial-sample (you can find it on hydrogenaudio forums) and with maximum volume sound is very distorted (It was not present in original firmware).
Another question - which library is responsible for sound resampling and how to configure it (resample method)?

Why is the sound so horribly distorted when recording live audio. I dont believe its the microphone because it only happends on recordings that are 1080p and 4k if i use the lower quality creative effect the sound is perfect even in a loud concert its like they use a lower sound recording level for that, is there no registry setting in the rom that can tweak the audio recording level for video?
Navigate to System/Sound/Accessory settings/Mic sensitivity and change it to "Low" if you are going to record a loud noise!
I am using the Eragon rom. It's a great rom with good battery life however the sound when the ringtones sound sound very tinny and horrible. I tried the official rom and the same thing. Eragon has apparently got a beats mod to improve this but I see no improvement. Is there any tips for this.?
Go to settings --> Sound & notification --> Sound enhancement --> Disable everything
Go to Dolby Atmos --> disable it
Go to Viper4Android --> Phone Speaker --> enable Master Power --> enable Speaker Optimization
Everyone likes a different sound. In my opinion this seems to be a neutral sound with slight improvement through Viper4Android.
You could also test Dolby Atmos --> enable Music --> choose Intelligent Equalizer Rich
Or you could just adjust the equalizer in Viper4Android.
In conclusion the speaker is just a cheap mono speaker and you won't get the perfect sound out of it. This cannot be fixed via software.
Or maybe your speaker has a malfunction and you should let elephone repair it.
thanks for the reply, just today the sound seems ok. it seemed to do this last time i done a full wipe, needs 5 days to settle down. i have done your suggestions anyway and see if there is further improvement. it is the bass that the speaker is badly missing but i dont think that youll get it from a phone speaker.

Anyone notice Dolby Atmos added in Pie beta? I feel improved sound in AKG ear phones, but still not great. Anyone else tried? Share your experience.
Update: I tried the below settings. The audio is very clear and load.
1. Neutron Player
1. Settings > DSP Effect > enable equalizer.
2. Settings > DSP Effect > Stereo effect > Choose your preferred option. I used crossfeed for headphones and sourond for car speakers.
3. Settings > Equalizer Presets > Choose your preferred option. I like R&B and Rock for my contents.
4. Settings > enable replay gain.
5. Settings > enable 64bit processing.
6. Settings > Resampling > Choose Audiophile.
7. Settings > enable Audio Gain Protection.
8. Settings > Audio Hardware > enable DSP Effect (Device), Dither, phase inversion, subsonic filter, ultrasonic filter, hardware gain, audio focus.
9. Settings > Audio Hardware > generic driver > enable 1st three option.
10. Settings > Audio Hardware > channels > Quad
2. Enable Dolby Atmos in Android settings
3. Enable / modify following Bluetooth settings under developer options after connecting speaker and every time you connect the speaker
1. Bluetooth audio codec > LDAC if your device supports
2. Sample rate 96Kzh
3. Bits per sample 32bits
4. Audio quality - optimised for audio.
4. Use lossless format like flac as source
Its present. Its good ) no big difference
Is it really present in the Official Beta that Samsung released?
Was the first thing I noticed.
Works nice,makes not a huge difference in sound quality,but it's good to be finaly on our loved Note8.
My Moto g4 plus has very low volume over headphones/ earphones. I can not even hear the voices in movies having volume raised to maximum.
Any solutions please .. thanks

Don't know whether this will work on your Android OS version:
Tap Settings > Sound & notification, then tap Audio Effects at the very top of the screen. (Yes, that's actually a button, not a heading.)
Make sure the Audio Effects switch is on, then go ahead and touch those five levels, or tap the Equalizer drop-down to pick a preset.
If your device is hooked up to wired stereo speakers, tap the Wired Stereo tab to choose an Effects Profile (such as "3D stereo," "home theater," "live stage," and so on) or a Surround setting (Live, Wide, or Ambient).
Audio effects option is not available in sound and notifications menu.

If you're on Android 4.4+ then try Equalizer FX, is has a loudness enhancer.
Other equalizer apps that come with a loudness enhancer exist, too. GIYF ...
