The one that comes to mind are the unlocked Realtek drivers, but those are a bit of a pain to get installed and working.

Where can I get them from? My manufacturer provides Bang & Olufsen that has only an equaliser and no 3d virtualisation and it's totally useless for me on headphones.

Yes, and I found the unlocked realtek drivers and installed it as per the instructions given and I ended with having the same Bang & Olufsen audio manager UI even with the unlocked drivers. The only new thing added was Dolby 5.1 surround as a tab in playback settings in control panel. It was a toggle turn on and off and it did work but had no customisations.

If you're a fan of A.R.I.S.E. or Viper4android, you can go download VIPER4win from the original developers site. The app takes convolver presets and is kinda like a light version of what you can get on Android.

apparently on some devices it's hardware, some it's software. I got it on my sensation which didn't have it before.
i did try to install the beats music apk, it force closed. beats is a big gimmick. all the htc phones that have beats just have a pre-built equalizer that kicks in when u plug in a pair of beats.
Its gimmicky for sure, but HTC sure paid a hell of a lot for the brand. Maybe that's why they can't get android updates out.

Yeah but I am unable to replicate those audio levels therefore it does make a difference. I like that a professional was able to bottle up a sound quality and deliver it to my alcoholic ears. Maybe it would sound even better with quality hardware but I'll take what I can get.

I have flashed a beatz zip file from Evo3D, but no go.. The quality (EQ) is nice though in my Evo3D.. Maybe we need to check files and tweak it.. have not tested the updated zip..

I tested Beats on the Sensation for a while, but PowerAMP app (2.x) still beats it HTC never confirmed that it was following the hardware recommendations used for example in HP Beats Audio products, so indeed it might all just be software...

Yes it does improve the quality quite a bit imo, I own beats headphones and have tested this feature far too much (with and without beats headphones) on my dhd when we were porting it to Coredroid. Unfortunately, I was too busy with my Flyer at the time so I have no idea how it was done. I do still have the files we were messing with though so I can at least figure out how hard the job would be..
Maybe Lee knows but he seems to be pretty busy already, I'll ask Sergio or Capy about it when I get a chance. Would be nice to have it on these tablets

I would love some audio enhancement on the Flyer. I would prefer standalone i.e. Cyanogen DSP vs. one that forces you to use a particular player i.e. PowerAmp.
I agree it would be cool to get this. Not only in the Music app but in the video 1 too if possible. IMO it sounds nice + the beats notification looks awesome
It is going to be a lot harder to get it on the Flyer than phones like Sensation and Evo 3D. The reason is that framework was already built into those phones and it was a just a manner of tweaking the framework for the Beats options to show and work. I have checked the Flyer music framework and none of the Beats stuff is there hidden. So, I am not saying it is impossible but it would take a ton of work.
you can install the Cyanogen DSP Manager / Equalizer from this link. tested and working on rooted GB roms for me.

I'm using DSP on my stock Flyer. It works pretty well.
Works on the Honeycomb ROMs too.

Hi
Works perfect on my Flyer, thanks 4 sharing.
I noticed the latest version of Google Music will actually integrate with DSP manager if you have it installed. It shows up in the Music settings menu.

Audio Mods

Anyone using any audio mods , if so which ones and how well do they work? I'm coming from the HTC One which has great headphone/speakerphone audio quality. I'm not too concerned about speakerphone as I use headphones most of the time.

It worked for me but, no significant change in regard to loudness. As far as sound quality....big difference.

it does work, the g3 just has a great audio output that its hard to tell the difference. you will not get an increase in volume though :crying:
I am an audiophile. I own many thousands of dollars in headphone equipment as well as monitoring equipment. I have been an avid android user and developer since the HTC G1. I use viper4audio not for the speaker output but for the headphone output. The G3 uses the same Amp for the speaker as it does for the headphones. There is no change what so ever when viper4audio is enables to my sound. I use the equalizer ive checked multiple settings, i've even used different audio players to get viper4audio to work on neither the speaker or headphones. What you experiencing is a placebo effect.
I hate to ask such a basic question, but are you guys using the XPOSED framework and have you enabled the viper mod in the framework?
I can assure you this mod works with the G3 (at least the AT&T version - I'll be testing on a verizon version later today). The sound difference can be drastic depending on what mods you turn on and to what levels you set them at.
That brings up another question I guess.... Are you going into the GUI and selecting different mods? Just installing the app won't change anything as nothing is turned on be default. You have to set things up manually.....
Just moved from and S5 and this was one thing I installed first. I can't speak to the headphone jack but bluetooth audio definitely works.
Viper sounds amazing on this phone, I can tell a difference from my s4. Very happy with spotify viper combo
does anyone has a the origina file handy for a verizon LG-G3 handy? I followed the instructions in the op and saved the original file on my sdcard but I ended up buying another sdcard and forgot I had it in the old sdcard. Now I'm scared if I ever going to do a change I don't have the original file to go back to. I'm happy with this mod I just want to have it just in case, thank

I am an audiophile as well and viper has been working perfectly for me since day one of rooting my g3. I don't have force enable viper on. I also have the user audio profile installed. And FX compatibility mode is on normal. Do you have yours installed as a system app? I don't.

I am an audiophile and I always recommend Noozxoide Eizo Rewire Pro. Amazing.
I think viper is the best I notice a big difference in both quality and volume I used a decibel meter on my g2 to compare the difference and with viper I gained on the low end 6 db and on the high end 10db so that's an average of a 8 db gain with viper
I rooted almost specifically to use Viper4Android. Ive noticed that the phone speaker is actually quieter with V4A enabled(probably just settings) but headphone volume/clarity is fantastic. I also came from an HTC One M7, and i have to say, 1 watt does work on this device

I can confirm this also. V4A FX 2.3.3.0/Verizon VS985(Rooted) -
Viper always has worked for me on my G3 with and without Xposed framework installed, but always with root. My steps are below, never given me a problem.
V4A version 2.3.3.0 [in Normal (not compatibility) mode, with granted root permissions, Latest version, expert UI, played with SPOTIFY]
Installed by dragging apk from extSD to
dragged to system/apps/
permissions change to rw-r--r--
ownerships changed to root
if its not in my app drawer, i reboot, if it is I go straight to the install of the drivers (both have worked fine for me)
installed V4A driver by granting root
Super Audio Quality
Reboot
Select it as the equalizer in spotify
enjoy

Agreed.
Has anyone tried an audio boost to the headphone out volume with V4A Installed? I like to feel my head shake with bass...but am very picky about quality of sound too. I know on my GS4 any audio boost to TW 4.4.2 caused distortion even if using V4A at 50% media volume @ signal strength= moderate \ Max Gain =x4 \ Max output = -1.9db
Using Klipsch S4A buds - anyone got recommendations for earbuds that go well with V4A on the G3? interested to know thoughts, looking for new ones

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. But one question. I'm subscribed to Google Play Music how can I increase the level from Google music app?
The songs downloaded are not recognised by 3rd party Music Players. Even Poweramp is not recognising it.
It is pretty clear that the device has the potential to deliver the best audio at an optimum level but people at Asus are giving a deaf ear to this. I guess a little bit of coding or just a software update can sort the problem. Or some hack might help.

When i will get time i will try to boost sound at kernel level.......
Or just use viper4android or something like that, the dolby atmos, or other sound mods are also available. They work systemwide. I haven't tested and don't know any will work or not. Report here if someone tries.
Poweramp Hi-Res Output will only work if Viper4FX is not installed. With Viper the audio is capped at 16 bit, uninstall it and experience 24 bit audio. It does make a huge difference for high quality music files (lossless .FLAC). Happy with my Shure SE 215 now.
Viper ,Dolby are capped only upto 16bit 48khz ..,..
Poweramp uses its own build DSP to trigger 24bit 384khz of sd636 built in DAC bypassing Nxp smart amp.....
Poweramp is dope......none can match its sound quality.....
I hope that Nxp smart amp support 24bit 384khz audio seraching a way to implement it
Works amazingly man. Now I can finally retire my Mi A1.
Works nice...but after enabling.... I can't control it's volume. Even with system media volume to zero....songs play at maximum sound.

Huawei Histen Sound Effects DSP

Doesn't everyone just hate DSP from Huawei
Anyone know a better alternative? Makes all headphone sound like ass, help.

And, if you got root, can install James dsp , great sound modification together with Huawei histen

Question Any way to get Apple Music Dolby Atmos w/Pixel 6?

I'm upgrading from my iPhone 6S and the Pixel 6 appears to almost be the best phone.
Expect it doesn't have Dolby Atmos for music.
Is there any way to add it back via software/rooting the phone?
Thanks.

The absolute best music player app for Android, is Power Amp! Fabulous equalizer, tons of controls, and definitely increases sound levels, depending on head gear. You can make your own EQ settings for different headphones, and with a couple taps, your good to go. Power Amp is the number one or #2 most paid for app in Playstore.

It doesn't work at A13. It's no problem to install it but it's closed immediately when opening it. Sad because it's working well in A12L.
This is working but sometimes requires a few reboots to get your you unlock pattern/pin working.
