Are you running a sound modification? - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I mostly listen to FLAC over middle of the road IEMs, and I'm looking for flat response.
Wondering what others, who have researched it are running.
Looks like there are some options on android to add EQ.
The built in Sony Clear+
BEATS
Viper
Dolby?
And a million other projects.
There is a (questionable) mod that messes with DAC prop settings.

Anything worth rooting for?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hmmm,
With decent headphones, I am quite pleased with the stock music app.
Sounds great actually.
better than any of my friends ipods. lol
I installed "n7player" about a week ago, used it for 20 minutes and removed it.
Just wasnt all that pleased with it, and it certainly didnt seem to "work" any better than the stock player.~ Sound, Function, etc.
With real headphones I have plenty of great bass.
edit: but dammit man...
now Im going to have to reinstall it and really study the sound differences. grrr. lol
I like this music player too, but there should be a shuffle button in the app itself.
I really like the UI though and the equalizer.
But the problem with the bassbooster is that it stutters while playing the song, which is very annoying. So I had to turn it off Hope they're gonna fix this, or is it just me?
Alright, Been playing with it for the past hour or so..
and I do stand corrected.
It does sound nicer! lol
Takes a lil bit of getting used to, but it is quite nice.
Shoulda gave it more than a few minutes last time.
Thanks OP.
edit: also noticed the bassbooster stutter. :/
edit2~ it seems the bassbooster only stutters when a "preset" is selected.
if the EQ preset is set to "off", i get no stutter.
but as soon as I change the preset, it goes back to the stutter.
hmmm
edit3~ lol
Seems like bassbooster is not even required when using OP's settings. very niice!
glad you made me rethink this player OP! <3
I've tried only 3 or 4 music players, but I strongly recommend PowerAmp.
For me is which has the best sound quality.
And have so many options and funcionalities; and a very good interface (if you have full version)

Was just having a look around in the settings,
and if you go to settings>playback settings>
you'll see a
"Use audio proxy buffering"[Experimental, Select this option only if the sound stutters/skips"
Maybe try that?
Ill check it out later, but for now i have plenty of bass using OP's settings. lol

I checked out Poweramp also, and removed it after 15 minutes. lol
Didnt seem like an app id want to pay for.
Liking this N7-player more and more though. :O
Found out that when you use the 4×2 widget on the homescreen it doesn't fit correctly. I have the BW weather widget just above it, and when I turn my screen into landscape mode there is no space between the two widgets, which is ugly as hell.
Really does
Really does sound better than the stock app, well for me at least. Thanks for the link!

hmm, both of the widgets seem fine for me. (4.0)
small and medium both, I dont see a problem.
but damn, I really am loving this player now. lol
Ok I've tested PowerAMP and N7 again, and I have to conclude that PowerAMP is still my favourite, but N7 is a nice one too. But the AMP's quality is just godly <3
N7 has a nice UI, but I really like the UI of Cubed better. I just tried N7 and it skips a lot, even with minimal equalizer settings. Poweramp is best sound quality, and does not skip on my SGP5.
Ive been listening to music most of the day using N7 player and havent had it skip yet.
huh
I've been using PowerAmp for about a year now. I usually get the most use out of the tone adjustment feature more than anything. A little tweaking with it and the Bass & Treble Boost EQ on and it sounds amazing.
Then I decided to try the Beats Audio mod 'cause... Well, why not, and I was pleasantly surprised. With that and a little tweak of the tone in PowerAmp and I'm beyond happy.
Just food for thought.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525226
I tried it again and found it only skips when bass boost or srs is on. It does seem to have less distortion than poweramp. I'm liking the sound as long as it doesn't skip.
Is there a way to save custom equalizer setting?

the bass boost function comes at a cost , it reduces other sounds ,
best is to keep bass boost off and the bass in eq to 15
I'm gunna give this a try.. although I've really been itching to buy Neutron lately. PowerAMP sounds good, but Neutron sounds fantastic!
Maybe this will alleviate that itch.
Poweramp is pretty good. It has a simple interface, presets, equalizer and you can get extra widgets on the store
just installed power amp (full)..
it is quite nice!
Not sure i like it better than N7 yet..
But it is very niice.
wish I could bring the stability of poweramp and the features/setup of N7 into one player. lol

Question, did you use the regular flash, or the one for Samsung devices (SII)?
If you are looking for great sound, use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543366 ROM and the built in DSP Equalizer from Cyanogenmod is AMAZING!!! Once you set it up the way you want it... You will love it.

Sound engine.

Sony Xperia Z3 sound engine.
Backup is needed. Set on a clean system (without sound mods). System sound engine for expensive headphones. Install : flash via custom recovery stage and reboot .
:good:
With the Viper, with the same settings much detalizirovannoi and better sound became,the need for pulse has completely disappeared, more stably produces different styles of music for those who do not like to Tinker with settings.
Can u provide some more information?
what...
Please provide more information
Depending on the file name, that could be a ripoff of the other Beats Audio settings. Besides, Beats Audio sounds crap, so no, I wouldn't install that.
Strange logic without trying not listening to judge the quality of the sound in absentia.
No, it is just that I know Beats Audio, and the only equalizer I am using in my speaker setup is the one that flattens out the bass and straightens the mids a little (not pulls it up the bass and highs like Beats Audio). I don't need to listen to that since I already know what Beats Audio does and I do not like it.
beats audio mod for "EXPENSIVE HEADPHONES" ??? DDDDDDDDDDDD whatta fu^k!? Why would anyone buy a decent pair of headphones just to artificially emphasize the bass!? Those kind of mods are for toys, not for real headphones.

[APP] Real 3D surround music experience.

After extensive music search i never thought this music app can beat doulby atmos or other music mods likes v4a.
Yes i definitely say without tuning anything this music app is giving awsome music experience in real 3D sound effect.
Along with v4A this is cherry on ice scream.
Overview of app and settings :
https://youtu.be/EZAbeLawjgQ
Download the app: (unreleased free version)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tamalbasak.musicplayer3d
What app gives:
1) its a music app with great 3d equilizer control.
2)looks awesome with material desing
How to:
1)Open app configure it give all permissions
2)enable virtual3d and surround 3d tab
3)) set equizer as per u r Requiment but i recommend keep all stock because there will be some sound distortion
4)now all is done but if you want more great sound
Then u need v4A
Open app and Enable spectrum extension tab
Field surround tab , diffential surround tab, viper clarity tab.
Done
Now play music only via 3D music 7.1 app only
Feel the difference.
Specially how can i describe sound is like i am hearing music sound separated for each ear phones pairs sitting in larg cinema hall sound is coming from All directions that's aswome though such effects are available for doulby and v4a but here that impact is very good as compared to them.
May be earphones are also reposible for best sound.
Here earphones i am using

I test it, you must close developer options to run the app, didn't work with root or bootloader open, but you can use magiskhide for this

Newest version doesn't need to do that.
How is the sound? Can u plz tell users
The sound it's similar to Dolby Atmos effect, more spacial if now the tool hasn't restrictions i test it again.
So this sound mod only works within the app and not on apps like youtube or spotify?
This sound effect was kind of cringy for me. Using v4a audiophile on liquidremix pie... Does this really sound nice to you guys? For me it felt like sitting high in a sewer... But there was alot of settings I didn't bother playing with, that's nice I guess... And why do I need to use magisk hide to run it

Its 3d effect is awsome but along with v4a is more awsome . donts use audiophile profile just enable tabs that i mentioned in video for v4a and keep all stock settings for music app too make sure virtual 3d and 7. 1 surround effect is enabled.
And then play music.

Disable developer option, hide app from Root in magisk.
Open app Configure it then after that you can enable developers option but always hide it from root

I use poweramp, the DSP on it is really good with a lot of settings and works well with root and DO on, I will stick to that, but thanks for your help, cheers.

I hear a Ms latency only (differential surround in v4a) with this and audiophile, I'll try this with your settings and see how it works out
Over the years I have probably tried almost everything there is to try of the high-end and higher-end(Free,paid and costly)type music player applications out there.Currently running the 7+1 Surround Sound and 3D based X3 Music Player was in fact an actually startling surprise sound wise,I can recall.So natural,with an audio transparency so visible and audio tactile that I actually teared up from emotional sensory overload the first time I listened to it.And still may do yet,for the very same reason.But I will definitely also try this combination.
So only with mp3s and only with headphones? On top of that you have to install a module, disable dev options (cringy), hide from magisk just to open?
Basically this tells me "IF" this module were to brick my phone I would be SOL due to no longer having dev options enabled..... Thank you for the work but I'll pass on this one.

Its not deal breaking and it will not brick anything.
3d virtual surround sound is top notch as compared to any mod like v4a, doulby atmos or audiofx

Mod for decreased stereo width in Audio?

Hi folks, total noob here
I'm using my old Samsung Galaxy Wonder GT-i8150 as an MP3 player. I rooted it and installed Ainur Nero mod to get the best possible audio quality, however the thing I was trying to remedy is the exaggerated stereo width which affects the levels in the music ( I'm a music producer and quite fussy about this). I'm guessing it's some kind of default setting.
Is there another kind of mod or ROM I can install which will give me control of this?
Failing that, is there an easy way to remove Ainur Nero and get back the same function I had before, as it's disabled some features I'd really like to get back if possible
thanks in advance!

Audio MODs for the Pixel 3?

I just rooted my Pixel 3 and one of the main reasons was that I could use Viper again. But to my dismay, it doesn't work! On top of that, I discovered that Viper has a maximum sample rate of 48kHz, which means I can't use my Sony speaker at its maximum potential of 96kHz with LDAC. So, I went looking for other audio MODs without this limitation and I stumbled upon Ainur James DSP. Now this works great, but it has a very annoying bug. Whenever a notification appears, the sound of the notification causes the music to stop producing any noise, while it doesn't even pause! Is there any fix for this, and if not can anyone recommend me any better mod?

Use a wide band dedicated EQ app for adjusting the sound to your own personal likings, it will literally help with improving your sound experience.

Thanks for your help. But as I mentioned in my original post, I wouldn't prefer Viper as it limits the sound sample rate to 48 kHz.
