I've tried all the ROM's but the official video app doesn't play 5.1 channel audio even when I've connected the official Samsung earphones that came with the phone. It still says "5.1 audio is available with headphones only". I do not have any 3rd party apps for sound effects like DSP Manager etc
Any pointers? SOME BUG WITH THE VIDEO APP? Coz 5.1 channel works perfectly fine with the music app. With any earphones connected.
Ty in advance
same here it used to work on KH3 after that didnt
K this one has me stumped
I9100 Australian edition unlocked fresh install of cm11 via cm installer
Music playback is silent
Phone calls nothing in the earpiece
Press loudspeaker and tadaa all sound comes through music and phone call Both through
loudspeaker
This tells me the loudspeaker is OK the earpiece may be dead I am assuming that YouTube/media players aren't activating the output then , in the case of the music player piggyback off the loudspeaker being activated in call.
Headphones do work
Any suggestions?
Clean install of stock to test for starters, and if that's OK, do another clean install of CM.
I'm using JVC headphones to listen music on my smartphone.

I noticed that the sound is playing in mono. No matter what I'm using music player sound in headphones always is in mono. This is not problem with headphones, on other hardware plays good.
My OS is Android KitKat 4.4.2, stock ROM with root and xposed. Anyone noticed that issue?
I found it!! Enabling OK Google option in Google Search makes audio play mono. After disabling OK Google need to reboot.
Ever since i updated to Nougat (And Marshmallow) i've had audio issues .. it was worse during Marshmallow though..
It's like some filter has been applied which boost BASS and loudness and is affecting music played using Bluetooth AND mini jack
NONE of the audio effects work anymore, DSEE HX, ClearAudio+, Normaliser and Equalizer has NO effect on the audio being played...
I'm on the verge of doing a reset just to see if it sorts it out ... but i reather not, since everything on the phone is perfectly setup - except for Audio
DSEE HX, ClearAudio+, Normaliser and Equalizer has effect for me only for sony player. dosnt work for other apps and anything else on the phone,
i've got the lastest ver of 7
After some research I found that 3Rd party apps like soundcloud or Spotify needs to implement support for filters / eq. And since they don't care, the filters don't work anymore.
I did a reset of the phone which fixed eq /filters for Sony music but broke the Bluetooth volume.
Lvl 2 is too low and Lvl 3 is too loud..
F*ck this phone.. Grrrrrr

For YouTube I have found that YMusic (can be downloaded from Xda Labs) app works with these sound effects. And for Soundcloud I've found that MyCloud Player from Play Store does the same.
Hello,
An update of the music player i am using (AIMP for android, free) just release an update (v 2.60) with the ability to choose between opensl and audiotrack for the sound engine. In audiotrack, i'm pretty sure it is driving the akm dac 4490 inside my axon 7 (mine 2017G B06) : when i switch between super and normal in audio settings there's a blank and i hear clearly the difference.
I ve search for other players that can drive the axon 7 dac and i found :
- stock player
- neutron
- google play music
is it right ?
Have a good day.

Hi, neutron player false positive I think.
Switching super HiFi and changing sound in player does not mean that it fully utilitize akm DAC. You will get better Sound on YouTube on any stream.
I will check aimp new features, thank you for the tip.
Try n7 player is my suggestion.
Use this if your bootloader is unlocked and the whole system can use the AKM DAC. Works on system or Magisk. https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-universal-deepbuffer-remover-t3577067/page11

Excuse me, but can you explain why this enables the akm dac on any music player?
I don't quite understand.
Can you post a screenshot showing it works with your preferred player for example?

I've been using it on custom ROMs and my assumption is that it basically wires everything to the AKM DAC. That's because a) even in Youtube, Netflix and games the sound was clearly from the AKM DAC, and b) I'm on stock, was using Youtube without the patch and eventually felt so let down by the crappy shoebox sound that I downloaded it and flashed it.
Try it for yourself: download the flashable zip, put some music on YouTube (on stock it can't use the AKM DAC even by toggling the switch, that's why you should use youtube), then flash the zip and try again after it boots. There's no way around it, it's not placebo. It might sound worse for you if you have different cans or you want a different sound though

It allows the system sound effects like equaliser to affect all audio like how it was in KitKat. It's an option in ARISE and maybe default in Ainur (I forget, needs testing). This is just the function alone, it works well with the mod author's other audio FX installs.
I love Viper for tuning headphones for their individual Frequency Response with it's excellent graphic equaliser in V4A 2.3.4.0. Lowering output gain with it's advanced options seems to help lower Google Play Music so I can hear my game sounds higher, need to test this more to confirm. I find combining it's Speaker Optimisation with Dolby's surround with flat EQ produces the best speaker audio. Having tried most audio mods and effects on my old Z3C, keeping things simple with just these produces the best results. I'm yet to test a couple of mods that were incompatible with the Z3C and retest others on the Ax7. But as an audio purist and from experience, I don't believe any audio effects will improve audio rather than just modify the sound, unless they prove to retune the chip processing at a low level.
As Username suggested, have something like YouTube playing in the background and toggle the Hi-Fi to confirm a difference. It can be uninstalled by reflashing for system-based, or respectively via Magisk Manager, but TWRP backup in case. Audio isn't really something you can screenshot haha, it has to be on your device locally to be heard. This mod should be common knowledge by now for getting the most and expected out of an audio beast such as the Axon7 on stock.

Thanks guys.
And what about PowerAmp on a stock rom?
Still seems troublesome on 704 alpha. Mine seemed ok but then started getting a fail error for hi res.
I just use Jet Audio as my default player with 32 bit enabled and AM3D plugin used. Sounds great.
By the way I discovered a conflict scenario when using the deep_buffer remover to allow the AKM DAC globally.
Whenever a non equaliser effect supported app (not GPlay Music or Neutron) plays any audio simultaneously over the top of another app's audio playing. The hi-fi toggle will no longer switch until audio is paused. This isn't typically a problem as Super mode is preferred and will continue to function when on headphones.
However it means if an audio track is playing on speakers and any non EQ supported app plays any audio causing the conflict, then plugging in headphones they'll be stuck on the Snapdragon DAC. The reason being that speakers use the Snapd DAC and plugging in without audio stopped continues the locked conflict where hi-fi won't switch to the set preference.
A simple workaround is to just pause/stop all audio and the hi-fi preference precedence will automatically function on resume. This can be done before or after plugging, it doesn't matter. To confirm this the hi-fi switch will then function immediately when changed.
This took me several reboots and testing various audio to pin the cause. The easiest way to tell the difference between the DACs is to turn up volume to a level that feels comfortably loud on Super, then whenever the SnapD DAC is in use instead the volume is noticeably not loud.
I haven't tested if a notification or ringer sound will cause the same conflict issue. Safer to just pause/stop all audio when starting headphone use in case of any previous audio having already caused the conflict.
