I'm thinking about this phone but can't find any info about used audio processor or just sound quality over headphones
Thanks for any help
The RN3 Pro uses the DAC/AMP DSP combination built into the Snapdragon 650 SoC at hardware level coupled with Snapdragon Audio+ processing at software level.
It doesn't have a dedicated audio chip.

Thanks for reply SharkcpN, i'll digg about thisbuilt in DAC,
anyone has experience with audio quality over headphones?
Just flash Viper4Android - instant eargasm
and i will... still i'm choosing between LG G4 and X RN3 Pro, and as far as i can read about LG G4 soud quality, i can't find anything about xiaomi. None of my friend using it so i can't hear for myself.
del
As per Qualcomm it used Qualcomm Hexagon DSP + Qualcomm Immersive Audio if you are rooted the VIPER4ANDROID is the best choice..
I'm using RMN3 SD with VIPER4ANDROID, the sound quality over earphone is excellent..
use google play music there u can tweak snapdragon plus equalizer set surround sound at MAX 100% ,set Reverb to small room then go to setting and switch on MI sound enhancer only then u will feel the real output via headphone jack
Default equalizer is very good, I havea really nice sound with my xiaomi piston 3
Anyone tried messing with mixer_paths.xml?
Try this out

Just got a mate 10 Pro to compare to my u11+ and found that every dongle used with the Mate 10 Pro sounds so quiet. The U11+ is so much louder but even the OP3T and S8 seem louder. Has anyone else found this to be the case? I've used the stock dongle, Google's and Razerphone and they are LOUD on S8 and U11+ but extremely quiet on Mate 10 Pro
Have you tried playing around with the sound option? Specifically the Huawei Histen Sound Effects option.

Yeah and it makes things sound different, it's basically just an EQ right. Doesn't do anything in terms of making sound louder and boosting everything via EQ for loudness is simply a no go. Via Bluetooth it's fine because my P7s built in amp is used. My wired headsets sound horrible through the Mate 10 Pro though.

Same here.
Sound could be better honestly.
With dongle or with Bluetooth headset, sound is just ok...
Audio capabilities of this phone are a big disappointment in my opinion. If someone can help to make things better please let us know.
Same issue. Mate and 10 lite
No issue whatsoever. I bought the fabulous sony-wh-1000xm2 and live is seriously good. Streaming high res flacs over 990 kbs LDAC
With Mate 10, even with cheap Philips in-ear headset (Philips-SHE3595BK) sound is very clear and loud.
I can't even imagine with a good quality headset.
Using some mdr-1a and the USB c headphones from htc bolt/10 Evo. Both sound very very good, clear and Loud.
I have rooted my phone and can try to find out if there is a way to boost audio via USB c headphones / the adapter

Sound is good but imo, not enough high with headsets
Yes, the max output level is quite low for the dongle. Over BT it's the same as other sources in output level since that's not set by the phone.
Is this on European phones only ? could it be the EU volume limit as seen on many mp3 players etc ?

I think so.
It was always like that with all devices I had before.

@Galactus so I got the u11 today and tried the dongle on the huawei. and man! it IS SO MUCH LOUDER and everything sounds better too!
With my IE80 the sound is loud enough... But the impedance is also only 16Ohms...
Since there isn't a headphone jack anyways, you can buy the Good Pixel USB Dac, heard it's quite good, at "iPhone" level.

Indeed it is and yet the U11+ is even louder
Not that it is necessary but the extra voltage and lower volume brings out more of the sound etc.
The best dongle I have used is the Razerphone dongle followed by the Pixel 2 dongle. The HTC dongle is actually the worst, but still better than what Huawei bundled with the Mate 10 Pro

Hi all,
I searched through a lot of forums and video reviews but couldn't see anyone doing a clear review of the quality of sound from the headphone jack.
I'm considering getting the F1 to replace my Axon 7 so wondering if the sound quality will be much worse?
If you can compare it with Axon 7 it would be great.
I knew about the GSMarena test of audio quality but that may not be the same in real life. Also it seems that the phone didn't utilise the Snapdragon 845 chip's audio capability which should be better than older phones.
Thanks
Anyone?
I don't know why people ask this question on every phone's page? IF there is no dedicated hardware used for audio it will should sound same as all SD SOCs. You can try all kinds of fancy software optimisations and equalizers it doesn't matter as long as the audio hardware is the same.
For answering your question in particular, IIRC Axon 7 has dedicated AKM 4490en for processing audio signal which is top notch. So NO Poco or any other phone with SD SOC audio is not even come close in audio quality for that matter. And since we are there take my advice and don't sell that phone(AXON 7). For it's audio capabilities you can take out the sim and can use it as a Android DAP for as long as it can serve you. A simple android DAP sells for quite a bit. I was myself very interested in this phone for audio but since it was not available in my country I went for LG V20 which I sold 2 weeks back.
I haven't had the pleasure to try the Axon 7 before, but I have used the HTC 10. The amp on this thing is weak,on my IEMs I had to crank it up to around 60-70% to get to my usual volume. Compared to a HTC U11 dongle (with DAC in it) that I have around, the dongle simply sounds better.
With all of that said, the fact that the headphone jack is there is still very much appreciated.
The headphone lacks depth and bass though it can improved through through Mi Sound Enhancer but still won't be somewhere near phones with built-in DAC.
We can hope for upcoming Dolby support soon.
I read a lot of threads back when the Poco F1 was released and a lot of people complained about low volume of audio output from headphone jack and low clarity.
It is very hard to compare audio quality if you dont have 2 devices side by side.
So I request people who have the Poco F1 and some other phone like the Redmi Note Pro, Moto, Nokia etc to compare the volume and audio clarity.
If you have MIUI device use the same audio settings.
Can anyone please do this?
Edit: Sorry for double post. Thread was not showing up so I replied here.
I have Axon 7 and POCO F1. I think that quality on Poco is great. When i used earphones with my axon 7 with low impedance (KZ ZS6 - 16 ohm) i heard hiss when i turned wifi on... On poco F1 i dont have any problemes and quality for source Tidal (HIFI),Spotify (Premium), Youtube Music is very good. (headphone - beyredynamic COP) . In next days i will have external dac SMSL IDEA. I will try compare sound quality between poco inernal dac and my new external dac.
+ Dolby is very very bad. On axon it was first thing that i turned off. Viper FX is best.

Duude, we have the same IEM, KZ ZS6. Poco does create a static noise in a specific situation (can only be heard when nothing is playing):
1. Enable tap to wake.
2. Don't play any audio with Poco.
3. Connect your IEM.
4. Lock the phone or just manually turn-off the display.
5. Rest your whole hand on the LCD, you'll hear a static noise and mine was prominent on the left channel. I noticed that the static noise is stronger when the LCD is turned-off.
How did I find it?
Since fingerprint cannot be disabled, I always place my Poco in my pocket with the LCD facing my leg and I always hear static noise every sone transition.
I disabled double tap to wake due to this.
Weird interaction. lol.

Yes, on my Beyerdynamic COP I need set volume to 40-50% for comfortable listening (Spotify). I think with all IEMs or over ear headphone to 64 ohm you will not have problem.

Hi all,
How is the quality for the 3.5mm Audio Jack?
I've had a Zenfone 2 for a few years now and my earphones sound awesome with it. I need another dual SIM + MicroSD slot phone. Zenfone 6 is too expensive so I am considering the Note 9 S instead but music from the earphone jack is VERY important.
Help me out please.
Thanks!
Sound quality is good but volume is rather low. Apparently MIUI have a problem with the volume. I tested bluetooth audio (with Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones) and is almost unlistenable, very very low volume. I also tested wired headphones plugged to jack, and the volume show a little improvement, but is noticeable lower than my previous Xiaomi Mi A1. I also tested the Note 9S with USB DAC+Amp, Hidizs Sonata HD. Again, there is an improvement over jack or bluetooth, but noticeable low than other devices (at half media volume). I think is a MIUI issue and not device-dependent, because I tested a Redmi Note 8 and showed the same issues (at least with BT headphones)
Currently I don't recommend the Redmi Note 9S for listening to music, until Xiaomi releases a fix.
Just to confirm that on my 9S (Global Rom 11.0.8) the music volume on the 3.5 jack is a little bit low for my liking, it could do with being a few notches louder.
I also have the Sony bluetooth headphones WH 1000XM3. The volume and quality is very good on Bluetooth. Very loud and excellent quality.
Just wondering xsam123 in the above post - is your volume set to Max on the headphone touch panel? We also have a redmi note 8pro in the household, the BT volume is very good on that phone too.
Here is the perfect solution for breath taking sound in Redmi note 9 prom
In MIUI OS Sound quality is very bad.
So I always change MIUI with AOSP rom via Custom recovery.
After coming to AOSP, We can install modules named as "Ainur Narsil"
After this module, You will get Sound quality like flagship model.
Enjoy!!
Does anyone know if you can use type C earphones with the Note 9S? Has anyone used any?

Yes, I used Hidizs Sonata USB DAC and works OK ?

Cool thanks, how is the quality, loudness comparedd to the 3.5mm?
Sent from my Redmi Note 9S using Tapatalk
The sound is fantastic. I find that it sounds better than the 3.5mm connector. But, you must consider that when you take the audio out of the type C port, it is the DAC of the headset that works. In addition, the audio improvements provided by the MIUI application are added when detecting a device connected by port c. Totally recommended to use USB sound.

Thanks for your reply. I've been in audio limbo at the moment considering bluetooth headphones or new wired headphones and thought id look at the USB C options after getting the 9S.
Do the miui sound enhancer and equalizer option still work via USB? I use them with a set of wired sennheisers and find the quality decent after some tweaking, im no audiophile, but have found the audio output quality of xiaomi's to be quite good.

I agree with USB as the best choice to listen to music currently with Redmi Note 9S. I'm facing a bug with my Sony WH-1000XM3 Bluetooth headphones -and all Bluetooth audio devices connected to my phone- that makes them sound very very low. Very annoying bug, I'm even thinking to sell my phone if Xiaomi doesn't fix it.

Hi there,
I also own these brilliant headphones, And I have the 9S global. I don't have any problem whatsoever with BT volume, in fact the BT output is very very loud.
Still yet to try USB audio though, it's great to hear that this works well. As inconvenient as it may be maybe a factory reset will solve your problem. Hope you sort it ?

Hi, I bought the nord 2 a few days ago, it's a wonderful phone but I have a problem.
The bluetooth audio quality is horrible. I don't know if it's only on my device , i have tried everything, the stock Dirac hd sound does not support bluetooth devices so the sound is flat. Also it seems like it's playing music on low bit rate. I have switched from aac to sbc there's a slight difference but still it sucks. Also changing some settings in developer settings did nothing.
I have Huawei Freebuds 4I and on every other device the sound is amazing but on the nord it's awful.
Currently I'm using wavelet eq but still the music is playing at a low bit rate. I don't wanna root my phone for viper4android so is there any other solution to this?

One plus Nord 2 is a budget phone yet not cheaper than other budget phones, yet they give a low-quality device like this. Try listening in a different Bluetooth headset.
No issue here, I have samsung galaxy buds+ TWS (aac mode) and a Marshall Mid (aptx mode) and bluetooth quality is perfect in both cases.
And for the lack of Dirac support in bluetooth mode I use the app "Poweramp Equalizer" to get some more bass in my headset
For music you can try jethdaudio player. It is extremely good.
I don't know what you are talking about I am using Realme Buds Wireless 2 on my Nord 2 and it sounds amazing and I mean it since I am picky about the audio quality with negligible delay like mine cost about 1/3rd of yours so it's probably a compability issue LDAC and AAC both work great on nord 2 ofc LDAC sounds better at the cost of more battery usage....

Maybe a faulty piece really should just visit a service centre with all those headsets and see if it can be fixed if possible test out some more headsets by asking from your friends. Also check the settings of the music app you are using it's unlikely but still possible that it's set on low
Can't get it replaced.. Cracked the screen 5 minutes after I took the phone out of the box
Most folks dont know this, but bluetooth is a modern NAME for 'A' software version of hardware based tech capable of transmitting 240v AC through the air.
Tunguska anyone? That was the test, and the origional copywright is owned by TESLA.
Bluetooth, was designed to do the same, it's designed for AC current, explaining why bluetooth digital audio is the WORST sound ever invented.
Blutooth sounds so crap due to the following:
1: The inventors of digital audio decided to remove EVERY frequency the human ear cant hear. (according to who?)
2: They are now removing the lower base frequencies that we COULD hear, if we had say speaker's like my set of BW speaker's used by the BBC in the 60's and 70's, which can produce EVERY frequency. To make these speakers today is £14.000 PER speaker.
3: By removing all lower frequencies, they removed what is known in music, as the BODY of sound. They started this with digital techno, aka goa trance. I stopped buying musical digital instruments just because of this. If you take a 90's version of say 'Rising High's Church of Extacy' ( The tune that officially killed rock and roll due to it's pure analogue sound quality, hardness, and the deepest bass ) then play it through bluetooth, all you hear is tsstsstsstss, because the tweaters you think are great sounding speakers literally cant play anything under the highhat, without ECHO to fake the BASS.
If it's audio QUALITY you want, DROP bluetooth. Simple.
Another note:
As a dj of over 40 years in the undergound dance music scene, the one thing I cant understand is why I now have no CHOICE but to buy headphones for djing with a bluetooth mic built in! This allows whoever is spying on what we SAY to record my tune or live mix before I leave the gig, and claim it as their own. Try buying decent ANALOGUE headfones for djing.
Final note.
Nfc: the modern day verion of blutooth. Interfere's with bluetooth audio in that the AC current also has it's own magnetic field, which can, like binaural beats, interfere with bluetooth. Most fones use bluetooth AND Nfc. nae luck.
I personnaly know the best hacker in Scotland. 12 letters after his name in computer sciences...! He wrote the bluetooth app the gov called tap n trace, and he sold it to them for £30.000, they added Nfc (Near field Communication) and got most people in the world to install it in their fone. NIce one Gi88's!
Bluetooth... did you bite?

I am using my Sony WH-1000XM3 and it supports LDAC. The audio quality is great with support for equaliser. The only way to get LDAC was change the mode from connection stability to sound quality mode in sony headphone app. By default, it supports SBC. Pls check your headphone's app and also check if your headphone supports relevant codec.hope this helps.
I had a similar issue with my Nord 2 and my Libratone Too BT speaker, sound was horrible, like an old cassette player. The speaker only supports the SBC codec, I think.
I was able to fix the sound quality by enabling developer options and switching to AVRCP 1.6 and MAP 1.4 there.
Update A.16 fixes Bluetooth audio.
the problem is just with the freebuds 4i, but I don't understand why..
