This is a fix for the audio skipping when playback starts (audiophiles must have noticed it, while others dont bother ) and audio howling/distortion on full volume.
The audio_hw module is taken from omni, so thanks @rooque for that. And the MTP (acdbs) are mi note's files taken from ivans repo .
Tested working on rr and aicp.
Flash using CWM/TWRP.
Please test and confirm.
Thank You.
Edit: Updated the zip file since it was causing puchier sound in earpiece.
I guess it is to fix audio cracking when in full volume for speaker

after flashing the zip,the sound quality has improved drastically but i am facing a bug now..Whenever i call someone with loudspeaker on,the other person cant hear anything...infact i am able to hear my voice from the mic as if my voice is getting reflected back...please fix this issue...thanks
Not works on los 14.1,it give no sounds,both speaker and headset
Hi All. The sound is fixed as you know but not on all ROM. So i've made a Fix zip. Tried on US and G version.
Edit: working on A2017 (Chinese version)
IMPORTANT: I'm not responsible for anything which could be happen. I suggest to make a backup from TWRP.
First of all i didn't fix it. Thanks @Unjustified Dev , @DrakenFX and Anynomous Dev

Thanks for that.
Do correct me if I'm wrong, but this still does not make use of the AKM DAC, right? This still uses the Qualcomm inbuilt DAC?
Thanks in any case!

It's wired for it's AKM DAC the issue was we were dependent on ZTE crappy patch that made us bypass and force audio on. Now the amplifier HAL correctly calls to the NXP driver to properly calibrate and initialize audio in all usecases. It's more so the developer is trying to recreate how stock handles stuff like voice speaker, speaker reversing, mono + stereo, etc.

How was this fix done exactly? Was it just fiddling with some configuration files or did you have to completely rewrite the way android works the audio so it calls the driver correctly? And if so, is it the same way Dolby does? I'm so curious how you guys and the anonymous dev managed to fix it
Also, I can't wait for this to upload. This + LOS based roms and this phone would be absolutely perfect. Too bad it's not mainstream enough to get more attention
If we flash this, will it cause any issues once it's officially merged into LOS and we update LOS on the phone?

Has nothing to do with dolby. There's a file libtfa9890.so stock audio hal calls this file does it's magic. On lineage we don't have the amp source which is packed into the audio hal on stock. We use an amplifier hal all this hal does it try to produce whatever the heck the stock audio hal did when it loaded libtfa9890.so. It basically allows you to instrument custom calls without touching the audio hal of the ROM therefore keeping it clean. ZTE gave us a patch that force loaded libtfa9890 and immediately said ignore all cases turn on the speaker. What the dev did is rewrite the patch to properly call all functions such as calibrate, set mode , speaker on , speaker off ,etc. This way we don't just force speaker we actually start saying if in call handle the speakers this way. If music is playing handle them this way. We don't just say if need sound ramp up the amp and make sound.

Has anyone who flashed it have a decrease in system performance?

Just installed this fix.
It works, it works, Hallelujah!.
Ya so this zip works on the Chinese version, so you can update the op
Also passed the stereo test. Left and right channels are both working independently and awesomely.
The distortion has nearly disappeared.
Calls work.
Thanks to all the devs especially unjustified dev and anonymous dev.
Thanks also to drakenfx and westd.
Also now that patch 3 is out, can we expect another zip in the future!

Genius. Didn't mean to say Dolby, meant zte I had Dolby Atmos on the mind. But if it's nothing to do with Dolby, how come they didn't release the source for a direct fix instead of releasing a half assed patch for devs to work with? Then there wasn't be an issue of it being closed or open source

Nope, nothing. It had worked by doing the build.prop settings
From:
ro.vendor.audio.sdk.fluencetype=fluence
To:
ro.vendor.audio.sdk.fluencetype=none
Gave 644 permission to build.prop after the changes. This fixed the issue for the first time but issue appeared and not the change to build.prop does not work. I am on Pixel Experience Pie rom, I have tried flashing RR Oreo and Syberia Pie rom but the issue persists.
Hi. I've created a patch that enable AK4490 on custom roms. Previosly it was pasted on 4pda.
Sry for bad English
If you are using latest Ainur betas from telegram you dont have to flash it because since beta 3 or 4 UltraM8 helped me integrate this patch into mod. Also Ainur doesnt have bag with call
Updated Magisk version to template 15000
Known bags:
When you call somebody you can not hear your subscriber. Solution: just enable and disable speaker mode.
UPD. If you're using OREO Rom, you dont have to use this mod because it was integrated into Rom. Plus if you're using Ainur, you dont have to flash it too
I thought that it was enabled by default on custom roms anyway? Or is this patch only so it works for sure with ainur?

I also thought that, but I dualbooted LOS to try if the 192khz hack actually worked with the AKM DAC (because it was supposedly the one in use) and it was too obvious that it actually wasn't in use. The soundstage of the other DAC is much smaller. Maybe with this patch we can put it @ 192KHz with Poweramp? Can anybody try?

Any chance that this will get integrated onto the ROMs themselves? This is the same as the Universal Bootloader stuff and the old TWRP it installs, we'll get to the point where we need to install dozens of zips to get a fully working system
p.s where can we get the Ainur betas?

Do you mean this patch is exclusively for Ainur to work with the DAC? Because custom roms have been working already in most apps with the AKM DAC.

That's what everyone says, but dualboot stock and a custom ROM and using sound in LOS is like toggling the sound switch to standard

Really? I thought DAC was running OK on LOS... What about Pure Fusion and other ROMs? They say that high quality DAC is ALWAYS in use... I want to know what to flash when my phone arrives, DAC was mainly the reason for buying it.

This is probably the best mod I've flashed on my phone. This + poweramp is magic. I tried Sauron (even joined the telegram chat) but it sounded very low and saturated. This is another story...
Awesome work, really.

The Hi-res output? No, that doesn't work. But at least the AKM DAC is working. I'll try using the Samsung UHQA hack but I don't believe it'll work (it may just put the sd820 DAC at 192KHz
I enabled HiFi audio with the Lenovo Hifi line trick in the build.prop file, and i think i got a slight improvement, but it may be just placebo.

The effect is really noticeable on the highs with a FLAC file. I used a 192KHz file to test, and the highs were awesome, but the soundstage got reduced a lot (this was on stock, so I went from 48khz AKM DAC to 192khz SD820 DAC). I'll try on LOS today
I would love to understand the workings behind this. Once you install this how can you tell it works?
Please don't tell me to listen because that's pointless with placebo effect. I'm simply looking for the technicalities that prove audio is being sent via dac with or without this mod.
This mod enables the Earpiece speaker to be used at the same time with the main rear speaker when using listening to music, and watching videos etc...
Updated
Now TRUE STEREO with Earpiece playing the LEFT channel and rear speaker playing the RIGHT channel. Test with app of your choice.

To install open the zip file and extract the "default_gain.conf" file and copy it to "/system/etc/default_gain.conf" using your preferred method.
Then set permissions to rw-r-r or 0644 ( e.g "chmod 0644 /system/etc/default_gain.conf" ) and REBOOT your device.
Volume levels are pushed to maximum possible without distortion with EQ on Earpiece speaker to remove low frequencies. Good luck.
Works on my SM-910K running MarshMallow 6.0.1.
WARNING!!!
THIS HAS ONLY BEEN TESTED ON THE DEVICE MENTIONED ABOVE. MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR DEFAULT "default_gain.conf" FILE BEFORE INSTALLING THE NEW ONE.
(E.g "adb pull /system/etc/default_gain.conf [safe location here]" or "adb shell cp /system/etc/default_gain.conf /sdcard/default_gain.conf.bak" )
To be SAFE DO a NANDroid backup in Recovery.
Happy modding.
NOTE:
If you cannot find "/system/etc/default_gain.conf" file on your device then this MOD will NOT WORK for you. If that is the case you can try the other surround mods for other variants of the Note 4. This has only been tested to work on the N910K.
I created this one because the mods for the other variants didn't work on my phone since it uses the "default_gain.conf" file instead of the 'normal' "mixer_paths.xml" file.

Tried it on my N910F running 6.0.1 and seems like it works,but need to cover the main speaker to hear anything from the earpiece.

If there was a quick ON/OFF toggle you would notice that it makes quite a difference than with it turned off completely. Especially when you receive a notification etc... with your phone lying on a flat surface.
I haven't yet figured out how to manipulate the EQ settings for the front earpiece so that it only outputs mid-treble range without any bass.
Once I do, I'll be able to boost the volume without causing distortion. Otherwise it might damage the earpiece.
Where shoud I found that toogle ?
Actually I didn't find a "default_gain.conf" file in etc,so I just simply copied the one from your mod zip.

If you didn't find a "default_gain.conf" file then the mod definitely won't work. It's not working for you.
Would this work on N910U?
It works on the 910C running Nemesis
Good job OP, this mod on 910C it is been hit and miss with a lot of distortion. This is the best implementation I have used. ?
Finaly N910c has this mod
It is working. Thank you very much :highfive::highfive:
