Oh not so bad come on Just not very good
I am still studying which equalizer/volume enhancer from the play store fits better this phone. Anyone went through that already? Suggestions?

At the moment Equalizer FX pro from play store are the best for me

Poweramp Pro, no doubts. IMHO, the best You could ever have!
Up to 48bit x 192Khz of WAV, FLAC, DTS sound: what else?

Thanks.
Trying it today, so far so good!
For some reason 'super bass' and 'virtualisation' effects make a total mess, so have to leave them disabled, but just using the equaliser and the sound amplifier it is a good improvement.

Poweramp is a player, with a good processor and equalizer but just a file player, are there still a lot of people in 2018 that copy music files from their computer to their smartphone?
I am using Spotify/Google Play Music so the need is more for an equalizer app that enhance all the sound in output of all applications, which so far Equalizer FX does quite well (tried several others that do not work with 8X or lower the volume too much).

Ahahahha... YES! If you are an audiophile and you have tera of Hi-Res audio file (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-resolution_audio) you will need Poweramp.
Forget Spotify & Co. : all those providers sell their music in a lossy format, that is 320 kbit/s or less.
It is not (listening) music, IMHO.
Cheer

In any case I assume that the best thing to do to improve sound quality for the 8X would be to root and install viper4android.
Rooting 8X looks feasible but for the time the only known method seems clumsy (see the related post in this forum).
Anybody could use viper4android on the 8X?

Another Media Player thread..

I know this has been threaded many times.. but with updates to players and new players, I'm wondering what you all are using these days and pros and cons.
I've used PowerAMP fairly exclusively and when I wanna stream for some music I don't have or wanna hear different things, I use Slacker Pro.
I love PowerAMP, but am getting a little tired of keeping all my music on my sdcard. So I have been toying around with Google music..excuse me, Google "Play" Music (eyeroll)... Combined with DSP Manager, I must say its pretty good. But I don't think its good enough to ditch the power of poweramp.... Id put it at roughly 80% of the sound quality of PA.
Yes im using a Rezound, but I HATE beats audio. All it does is add some bass.
So what are you guys using?
Winamp any good? I heard it syncs with desktop app...?

I tried almost all mediaplayer finally now I'm sticked with PlayerPro Music Player....
I didn't like winamp....ya it works with your PC wimamp software but I suppose only it's pro version.....
I use power amp I've tried other music players but its the only one I keep going back to, it just has the best sound quality IMO.
Power Amp is well worth the five dollars. Its customization options make the difference - you don't want the same level of bass and treble on everything.
Spotify + DSP Manager

for me I use n7 power pro and the stock music player. Sometimes cloud skipper they are all different I just try to see which one sounds good to my ears.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
I personally use Winamp, although it is slowly turning bad (paying to adjust sound levels?), poweramp was alright when i tried it, but i see no reason to pay for a media player when the stock ICS media player and winamp do the job just fine.
N& Player for me, i like the interface of that player ...
And i also prefer ZPlayer because of the Windows mobile music player interface
Have you tried PlayerPro or n7player? are great

And what about power amp, I have heard very good of he.
Maybe I missed something, but does anyone know why Google Music still has no player widgets or lockscreen controls?
Power App all the way

or why the hell they haven't made other widget options like transparency.
I still use Google Music or Winamp Pro ... beats audio mod
I stand corrected: they have a whack looking little 4x1 widget that it looks like someone took five minutes to make. Shame that such a great music concept has received so little polish.
I use N7 player because i like the interface
I personally like PowerAMP
I use Google Music, haven't even tried any other player...
The beats audio thing is good only if you have Beats headphones. It recognizes it and optimizes the equalizer for the headphones you have plugged in. My Beats Solos sound quite good on my Evo LTE. I honestly haven't tried any other players yet but just wanted to point out that the built in stuff works good with Beats specific headphones.

Are you kidding me? I even deleted the DSP manager (using CM7 too, latest nightly) after installing jetAudio (I am using it aside BeatsAudio though) It can amplify your music to the limits, add awesome effects, provides it's own unique equaliser... read the description, give it a try and then... post again
btw I'm having issues modifying the apk -> replacing the status icon to complete the beatsAudio mod. After I replace it, I install and execute it and I get the error message: "The application jetAudio (process com.jetappfactory.jetaudio) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." -> Force Close.
Any help on this?
Great player. I've used Jetaudio for years with the Cowon player I bought.
Problem with the free app, is that the sound effects cancel after 20 seconds.
Waiting for the Plus version to be released on Play Store.

If the covers are in the taggs of the MP3's you are playing they should be visible, I'm not experiencing this problem. But I guess it's an early version you gotta give it some time, there will be further improving updates
It's that which is offered to download above. but than a try to find a newer version.

They got a plus version out on the Play store now. But they removed the BBE effects for some reason.

Pipo M6 Pro (MX Player playback)

Hi people.. wondering if you could help me here:
With my Pipo M6 Pro tablet i am unable to get some of the movies to play on at a good enough volume.
I've encountered this problem with windows and have had to down sample the audio in the WMPC settings in order to hear the sound at a good level through out the whole film.
I'm wondering if anyone could advise me as to what i would need to do in order to get a good loud playback with movies and what movie player you would suggest?
I've just purchased the latest MX Player.
Very disappointed. The video closes within a minute of watching it for some strange reason.... Does this on every video i watch.
Thanks guys

Forgive me for going off topic here but I'm sure others will benefit from your reply.... Can you give us your opinion on this tablet? While there are some M6 reviews available, I can't find any for the Pro version. Is the GPS any good?
Do you still have the low volume problem if you use earphones?
You can try to use the app: viper 4 android fx

You can try to download the custom Codec for Mx Player. Or try dice player with custom Codec.
For me everything works fine.

really good sound
dsp manager and apollo make by far the best sound for my music, I immediately noticed the difference, I downloaded other music players and by far nothing beats apollo and dsp manager and tbh I am not particularly fond of how apollo player works, i dont like the fact it doesnt have the ability to play music by folders and when you are searching for a particular song it wont give a drop down menu with pre-search matches like most other players do, it is clunky to make a 'play list' not really great for helping you search the song you need to find (specially when you got 10gigs of music in your sd card) but I just cant leave apollo+dsp player due to how amazing the sound quality is, and I know prob some musicians or sound experts out there can get better sound quality with other players that have the advanced features to tune different sounds but I am not a sound expert and I dont really know how to 'tune' this players to what I get out of the box with apollo+dsp manager.
Does anyone know of a player that syncs with dsp manager as well as apollo does, I tried a few but no cigar

Try Play music,,
Now I am using Viper4android with toggling between Play music and xperia walkmaan Music player... It is awesome..
Just buy a decent pair of in-ears (what I prefer) or buy good headphones.
Also it's a bit of a personal thing, others want more bass and less treble.. Also depends on what kind of music you listen.
Personally I like and have the Sennheiser CX-400 Precision, it produces a ''Lifelike Sound''. It all sounds really natural.
Also depends if you buy/download the song in ''Original state'' MP3 file in 320kbps or FLAC (around 1000kbps) or rip it from YouTube. Want to mention that you almost can't notice any difference between MP3 and FLAC when listening with normal speakers, with good headphones/in-ears you do but not a lot, but you can hear the sound is a bit more sharp.
The worst thing you can do is rip song from YouTube because it's already converted once while uploading it so audio quality isn't as good as the original copy, and then you are gonna rip it from YouTube and than it becomes again a bit worse, even if you convert it to 320kbps, it is already not a real 320kbps one anymore.
About the music players.. I'm stuck with Poweramp, with his features like cross-fade which you can set per ms, the themes you can apply for a nice KitKat/Jelly Bean or whatever you want interface, and the ability that you can long-press the song you're playing at the moment and get a pop-up of,
1) All the music from that specific artist.
2) The whole album of the relevant song you're playing.
3) The map where the file is in.
Good audio quality depends on multiple things.
Peace.

Yup most my music is either 192 or 320kbps just because I 'suffer' from real fine audio detection in my ears and it bugs the **** out of me when my music doesnt sound crisp and detailed with each instrument noticeable within the music. I call it 'suffering' because when I hear the fukin radio or some other low quality audio source (Pandora on low bandwith setting blaawhh).
So I immediately noticed when I played music through Apollo with the DSP manager in the settings I preferred. I have tried power amp, google play music, and many other players and equalizers in the Play Store and around the web (viper4android) and its just not the same for MY preference of audio. Granted I am not an audio engineer so it is prob me not knowing how to tune the different audio tools but for my low level audio exp Apollo+dsp manager in android kitkat has been by far my favorite.

apollo and dsp are also my fave but i used to have zplayer before and that has excellent bass when enabled. removed it due to being over crowded. apollo is excellent

Question So apparently the mi pad 5 pro is 'Hi-Res' certified.

On the back of my original packaging/box there is a 'hi res audio' certification, however i cannot for the life of me seem to find the hi res option in the OS??
Even with an external DAC it's only outputting a max of 48khz... ;(
Which audio player are you using to check? It should work in USB Audio Player Pro or Neutron MP.
Well I've used apple music for hi res playback but even tidal doesn't seem to have any adjustments - the music does sound great on these speakers it has like it's super loud and really comes at you

The Dev menu has some HD audio section but you are unable to toggle to get into the settings.
