Histen sound effects? - Huawei Mate 10 Questions & Answers

I am using the Mate 10's 3.5 mm output. Does Histen need to be enabled for "Hi-Fi" output? It seems like the headphone type setting merely applies an equalization profile.

Loudness

Hi, i am wondering if it is possible to make my YP-G70 louder. If i put Earphones or external speakers on it, its not very loud. I think it is the european law, but how can i make it louder? Is there a possibility?
On my mp3 Player there is a simple option. I can't find it on this device.
Try voodoo sound plus. Works awesome for me and I think he also has a voodoo louder app too.

I use Double Twist you have to pay a lil extra for the app and the EQ feature but it is definitely work it.

What earphone/speaker are you using? My YP-G70 is using an EU Rom but it is VERY VERY loud when using an earphone (Shure 535). My media volume is usually set at 3 notches or 4 notches at most, when listening to using earphone. But this is heavily dependent on the sensitivity of your earphone or speaker.
I have different Speakers it on every single one not very loud. If i use my Sansa mp3 its really louder.
I use the poweramp Volume (turn)button to make the song louder. So you have the volume buttons of the device and the volume button of poweramp.

Mono audio for one hear deaf

Hello,
I try to found an app for my non-rooted nexus 4 to put the sound in mono because i'm hear of one hear. But I couldn't find it on the play store. I know poweramp has a mono output channel but i need to have mono output for spotify. Does it exists?
There are equalizer apps out there that can modify real time audio, but I haven't seen any that can blend L-R or force mono that I know of.
This can be done with external modification to the headphones or a patch cable. The left audio output could be sent to both the left and right ears by connecting both wires to the left giving you mono. Or stereo blend can be done by shorting the left and right wires together. I'm not sure if this is bad for the sound hardware. You may be able to find prebuilt adapters that do this for you.

Mediatek 24-bit audio

Some of websites refer Nikel to have hi-res audio, but when I check it out with Poweramp, there is no option of using hi-res output. Is there really hi-res audio output for Nikel?

I'm not sure about the exact bit rate but i use the 'Mi sound enhancer' under sound settings and over headphones the sound quality is great. It's actually better than my previous phone Galaxy S7 which was the weakest area of that phone.

You must use alpha build 703 to have 24 bit audio output with AOSP rom (stock MIUI rom doesn't support it).

List of music players outputting to akm dac

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.

Histen with Bluetooth

Is it possible to make Histen work with Bluetooth headphones? It would be nice to have equaliser settings but that only seems available with the supplied usb headphones.
I wish that they add this in Emui 9 final version.
