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

better post a logcat of the issue so the developers can fix it
The audio jack issue is the only bug I found but unfortunately it's a big one. I looked around, tried enabling/disabling different settings and tried an app called soundabout but nothing worked. Too bad because this runs really smooth. Hope we get a fix soon...
This isn't the first time I've encountered issues tied to the audio jack with this phone but at least there i got sound to work.

From some research online, I'm guessing android is killing the headphone operation. Try PowerAMP? Not sure if it'll work but no harm in trying.

I have power amp on sdcard and I did give it a try but that just modifies sound, to my knowledge it won't force an input device to be recognized. Sucks...it kills me to go back to stock but I use this a lot in the car and a pair of earbuds comes in handy sometimes instead of pairing bluetooth.
***battery drain seems to be an issue too. Right now the screen is using 61% (up from 48% last night). This is despite minimizing brightness. But at least with this I feel like their might be a fix.
Looks good. I have attached a logcat for the front camera crashing.

Guide to get rid of audio distortion on CM13 and Lineage OS 14.1
I have told quite a few people in the cm13 thread how to get rid of the audio distortion, I figured it was relevant to enough people that I should make a little guide on how to set it up although it is pretty straightforward.
[Disclaimer] I am not responsible if you manage to break your phone using this guide
What does this guide accomplish? This guide will help you install Viper4Arise which is a wonderful sound mod that I use on any phone or rom. Viper4Arise will allow you to eliminate audio distortion in media playback on your Axon 7 running CM13 or LOS14.1, by lowering the output gain which is not capped properly in these Roms
What does this guide fail to accomplish? This guide will not fix mic issues, in call volume, the left channel being missing on speakers, or any other sound related problem present in CM13 or LOS14.1, however most bugs are gone now in LOS14.1
Now that that's out of the way, lets get to the fun stuff!
Step 1
First thing you want to do is grab the Viper4Arise flashable zip
Download Viper4Arise 2.3.3
however if you want the newest version
Download Viper4Arise 2.4
once you have this you can boot into TWRP and flash it, then reboot into system
Step 1.5
This step is only necessary on the newest builds of lineage OS 14.1
lineage OS does not have root built in. we will download the root addon package from lineageOS
Download root addon
flash this in twrp, it doesnt matter if it is done before or after installing the Viper4Arise package
Step 2
SeLinux must be permissive and by default it is enforcing so we are going to grab this apk and install it
Download SeLinux Switcher
once installed, open the app, allow root access (you may need to enable root in developer options) and set SeLinux to Permissive. if Viper4Arise stops working always check to make sure Selinux is still in permissive as changing it back to enforcing will stop Viper4Arise from working.
Step 3
Next we will configure Viper4Arise to eliminate Audio distortion.
Start by going to the phone speaker and Headset tabs and Switching master power to on
Now press the menu button on the top left and press Driver status. as long as SeLinux is permissive it should say
NEON Enabled: Yes
Enabled: Yes
Status: Normal
the other things are not relevant. if the above message read "No" or "Abnormal" you may not have set SeLinux to permissive, please go back to step 2!
do this twice, once with the Headset tab Selected and once with the Phone Speaker tab selected
There are allot of awesome setting to mess with they can make you audio amazing, I encourage you to try them out. to make the audio distortion go away simply scroll to the bottom and find the "Master Gate (Limiter)" tab. Set the output gain to -10.5 dB on both the Headset and Phone Speaker. this level seems pretty good in my opinion however you may find you prefer a slightly lower or higher level.
That's it! I hope I have helped you guys out, feel free to ask questions or make suggestions on how to improve this guide and be sure to leave Thanks!

Thanks for the guide. My YouTube videos are no longer distorted and sound good enough, for not having stereo capability on LOS. However, all of my notifications that come in are still very distorted, is there a fix for this?

Glad the guide helped you! Unfortunately I don't know how to get rid of distortion when notifications come in. I do believe Unjustified Dev said that all audio distortion will be gone in the near future, of course this guide won't be important at that point. At least audio quality isn't really important for notifications...
Alrighty, no big deal. You're right, it isn't a huge problem...Just a little annoying. I may have to flash back to stock, the main reason most people bought this phone was for the speakers....And I'm starting to miss the immersive sound that I had from stock

Yeah the left and right channel bug really degrades the speaker experience... And weird sounding notifications is annoying. I listen to lots of music but always with headphones or with an aux in the car so I don't really care too much...
Hijacking this thread to ask specifically. I do not care about my speakers I literally only use Headphones.
Is media with headphones played via the AK DAC? Is the quality as good as "super" mode on the stock ROM ? (Again, asking for Media Playback with headphones!)
Question, is the audio on LOS 14.1 with speakers good enough to listen to podcasts and some music with this mod?

I use headphones all the time. I love it. If you are worried about the quality compared to stock I believe you will not be disappointed. Of course I am not an audio expert and do not have the means to compare the quality side by side. I am not sure if the HiFi DAC is used, that is more of a general lineage os question.

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

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:
Came from @mangui's post in NEMESIS REFINED V3.8.5 N7 Port by*ananjaser1211

Yes i have the same problem,
I have to restart my phone, then it worka fine
Hi again,
After update to erobotrom v1.2, I have the same problem - microphone stop working. Somebody have the original mixer_path and default_gain or the other solution for this problem. Thx.
I feel like I tried every combination of installing things to get Viper4Android to work on the Pixel 6. I'm currently on rooted January update and I don't think I ever had Viper4Android working correctly. I've gone through this forum trying to find a solution and have tried...
SE Lenix Changer.apk to set to permissive (I've flipped back since it didn't work)
Ainur-Narsil
AML-4.0.zip
acp.zip
ViperFx_Android12_fix.zip
I followed a few different solutions that didn't work for me and was just wondering if anyone has had luck getting it to run correctly on the Pixel 6 Jan update - your solution would be greatly appreciated!

I tried and it was the first time I saw it work!! was excited but I was using the phone's speakers. When I tried using my XM3s I was still getting the same
NEON enabled: No
Enabled: No
Status: Abnormal
Processing: No
I'm not sure if it wasn't working before because I didn't try it with my phone's speakers but at least now I know it's somewhat working! any idea if I should expect it to not work using my bluetooth headphones?

Legacy Mode does need to be enabled. It does work with my Pixel Buds Series -A via bluetooth for me.

yup it's enabled! so weird though because I can't get the headphones to work. I found a thread where someone was using viper4android with the xm3s so I think it's do-able. I also tried the below with no luck
audio compatibility patch
audio modification library
viperfx_android12_Fix.zip
Ainur Narsil
If anyone has any idea what might still be causing issues using Viper4Android on my bluetooth Sony XM3s but it works fine on the phone's speakers I'd sincerely appreciate your input!
And thanks again Lughnasadh!

One more thing I can think of to try. Go into Developer Options and disable HD audio. Forgot about that, lol. Hope it works for ya.
It's pretty easy to get it working, download the regular APK of Viper, open it and let it install the drivers, after the reboot go into adb/modules/viper4android and replace the old post-fs-data.sh file with this one and enable legacy mode, reboot and enjoy
Tested on Stock, ProtonAOSP and CalyxOS on pixel 6

I tried to disable HD audio in Dev Options but it was already disabled and the toggle option itself was disabled - could that be an issue?

I tried that and it gets it working for the phone's speakers and I just learned it also works in my car. But when I hook up my Sony XM3s all the options are disabled like I posted above even with legacy on. It seems to be something with the headphones themselves since the car is also BT it can't be a BT issue.

Mine is greyed out as well but I think only because I have it disabled in my Pixel Buds settings. If I enabled in the Pixel Buds settings I believe it won't be grayed out on the Developer Options. Buds are in the car so can't test right now but that's how I remember it.
Not really sure why you can't get yours going.
