(Claimed) BOUNTY ($560) for Axon 7 Stereo Speakers Custom ROMS - ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion

Update (4/12/17) I am doing my best to mark paid users with **. The confirmation numbers being listed in the thread are different than what the received payment confirmation numbers I am being provided. Kind of confusing but doing my best. If you don't put your username down in the notes when sending payment, it is difficult to confirm who you are. I have names first name and last initials on my payment list. If you paid and are not marked with **, private message me you first name and last initial. Thanks
Update (4/8/17) I can confirm that stereo speakers are now working on a LOS based ROM I tested.
Bounty payments should be made to @DrakenFX
He has a button to donate a cup of tea. (Please include your XDA username in the Note section so proper Thanks can be given to donators) @DrakenFX will in turn forward said tea to our Anonymous savior. Over the next couple of days, I will be private messaging all those that pledged to donate. A big thank you to everyone who is donating, everyone that did the dirty work and a special thanks to Anonymous, whoever you are.
Update (4/7/17) Tentatively we have a claim for bounty. Once provided and tested. I will be private messaging a friendly reminder to those who pledged to please pay.
Original post
I would like to start a bounty for anyone who can provide the code for getting both channels.(left and right) with the front facing speakers on Axon 7 working on custom Roms (LOS, RR... Etc) with little to no distortion. It would be better if someone could just provide the complete source code but don't imagine that will happen. I will start...

You need a DAC drivers and these are unlikely to be available, but wouldn't the custom Roms be complete then?

I'd donate to anyone who can do this but I'm currently unemployed.
This is literally the only reason I haven't switched to LOS or RR from stock yet.

I'm not a developer so I'm not sure what's needed. All I know is I am willing put money towards it if someone can get this to work.

maybe this will be a question born of ignorance since I've never built a rom before, but isn't everything necessary to make audio work just as it does on stock contained within the stock rom? i mean, last time i briefly tried LOS which admittedly was over a month ago, i did notice for instance that the audio related configuration files normally located in places like /etc and /vendor/etc (among others) were simply not there. not that that's the cause of the issue but they are important, they affect things like output pathing and when the hifi dac can be used and what format/sampling rates are available for what output sinks etc...
i may make a telegram room for this. so anyone who wants to help out can come kick ideas around

Yeah it's an issue with all non stock based roms, not just LOS or RR.
Badboyz rom for example has as good as stock audio since it is stock based.
I wish you the best of luck in finding out how to make speakers work properly.

just for clarification this isn't simply an issue with the phones onboard speakers only doing mono vs stereo right it was my understanding that there are underlying issues with audio quality in general, likely relating to the custom roms not having a system in place to take advantage of the ak4461

---

I'll add $15 to the bounty as well.

---

Teen bucks if it will work like stock Dolby or better.

---

I'll throw in $15 for this.

---

It looks like /drivers/soundwire/* and /sound/soc/codecs/wcd9335.c is the magical controller in ZTE's public kernel.
My current LineageOS build machine is an ancient laptop that's slow and doesn't have an IDE yet. I can compile but I'm nowhere near ready to edit.

---

$10 from me to someone who is able to fix speakers problems on LOS based ROMs.

---

I'm willing to put in $20.

---

15$ Million dollars?!!?!?!??! who do you think you got chelsea clinton!
Nah. Im willing to add 15$ dollars!

---

8 Euros from Europe

---

$50 US Dollars
from the US

---

20$ from Germany

---

I'm putting 15$ on the table
@azpatterson3 could you also put the total of the donation on the first page

---

Put me down for $50.00
Still on stock waiting for sound to be fixed.
