MusicFX is not working. The bar level get freezed, only bass boost and virtualizer are moving, but no any effects, even after re-enabling or clear storage.
Try installing the audio modification library from magisk.

Are there any volume or EQ apps or hacks that can work on a specific app (say Spotify) or media only and not affect the whole phone? I often want to listen at a lower volume than the lowest stock phone volume (I've got the tinnitus). Sucks that Spotify removed the inbedded volume control.
I've been using an EQ app (Music Volume EQ) with the settings lowered for listening to music but it affects the whole phone (earpiece, speaker, alerts etc.) and I've slept through an alarm when the EQ was on and I didn't realize it.
I am using the Eragon rom. It's a great rom with good battery life however the sound when the ringtones sound sound very tinny and horrible. I tried the official rom and the same thing. Eragon has apparently got a beats mod to improve this but I see no improvement. Is there any tips for this.?
Go to settings --> Sound & notification --> Sound enhancement --> Disable everything
Go to Dolby Atmos --> disable it
Go to Viper4Android --> Phone Speaker --> enable Master Power --> enable Speaker Optimization
Everyone likes a different sound. In my opinion this seems to be a neutral sound with slight improvement through Viper4Android.
You could also test Dolby Atmos --> enable Music --> choose Intelligent Equalizer Rich
Or you could just adjust the equalizer in Viper4Android.
In conclusion the speaker is just a cheap mono speaker and you won't get the perfect sound out of it. This cannot be fixed via software.
Or maybe your speaker has a malfunction and you should let elephone repair it.
thanks for the reply, just today the sound seems ok. it seemed to do this last time i done a full wipe, needs 5 days to settle down. i have done your suggestions anyway and see if there is further improvement. it is the bass that the speaker is badly missing but i dont think that youll get it from a phone speaker.

Can anyone help me in improving the sound quality and volume.
I tried Viper4android, Arise and Aural equalizer 2.0 but nothing seems to increase my speaker volume.
I am currently using Viper4android with Google play music and no matter what I hear with Viper4android, enabled or disabled, the sound volume remains same.
I have my kernel set permissive, V4A is installed as system app and the driver is properly installed.
Btw, the Processing is also on.
I am currently running Nx Experience 10.4 marshmallow rom..
Thanks.
Just install custom kernel (if you are in marshmallow install radon) and increase volume with kernel auditor.
I recommend you to try latest lineage and install radon/elementalx/franco so you can increase volume.

Don't know about quality but it will increase the volume, that is if your kernel supports it.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/nitrogen-project/files/kenzo/KernelAdiutor%28flar_sound%29.apk/download
You can increase the volume in the sound section.
I find I can't lower the notification volume and ringtone volume low enough.
Does anyone know how to change the volume steps? I have sound assistant but it only works for media volume...
I'm rooted if it helps and I've tried the AOSP based rom solution of changing the build prop but with no success.
Thanks for any help!
Have you tried "sound assistant" app. It is from Samsung and has function you are looking for.

Ah my bad, don't know how I missed it. It is possible in two ways:
01- Get a custom kernel with volume modification support. I use a Galaxy S7edge with Surround sound, this makes the sound loud and more immersed but it has a drawback. The low threshold of volume is too high same as yours. I usually have a problem with the in-call earpiece audio which is too loud for me. I use MoroKernel and luckily a recent update brought the feature of MoroSound providing fine control over gains of 2-microphones, earpiece, and main speaker. You can also look for a kernel with such features for your device.
02- Manually modifying the sound configuration files. That is a bit difficult but good research with a bit of experimenting will eventually get you there.

Any chance you know how to mod the sound config files on an S21? Unfortunately there are no custom kernels yet for the Exynos version

Yes, go to /etc/mixer-gains.xml and edit it. Drawback is your device entire volume range will be affected like for media and stuff. One more way and probably the more practical one just hit me.
Find your ringtone and notification tone from /system/media/audio/ or download them from google and use a software like Audacity or Adobe Audition to reduce their volume.
You reduce your phone's volume to the lowest and match pc's volume with it. Then reduce the audio gain in the software until you feel comfortable with it. Export it and use it.
For anyone interested. My solution ended up being the following, with my end goal being too optimize my audio with Dolby and have the volume still be lower (but optimized) on the phone speaker.
I tried a ton of different apps, a few magisk volume steps modules, ViperFX with Dolby and finally I found a good solution.
Turn off the default Dolby stuff on the phone.
Install Dolby Atmos ZTE A2019 PRO for magisk (google it and find it on GitHub).
Reboot.
Install JamesDSP from ZackPTG5's website.
Reboot.
Install Audio Modification library to use Dolby and JamesDSP at the same time.
Reboot.
Create a custom equalizer in Dolby and try max things out as much as possible with it still sounding great.
Open JamesDSP, go to Speaker, set limiter threshold to -5, go to post gain and set it to -10. Turn on the master switch. Leave everything else unless you want to change any Bluetooth or headphone settings. Hide the persistent JamesDSP notification.
Reboot.
Install Audio Compatibility module with all the recommended settings.
Reboot.
Result, Dolby Atmos handles all the audio, increases the volume, applies optimizations system wide. However because volume steps are tricky to change on this phone we are stuck with the phone speaker volume being too loud even on the lowest setting. JamesDSP lowers the volume to the built-in speakers but we still get the Atmos experience we want. Everything else I assume you want to be louder anyway, like Bluetooth and headphones.
Audio Modification Library makes James and Dolby work together.
Audio Compatibility Patch fixes some issues with certain apps not using the sound mods.
Success! You get Dolby Atmos everywhere, but it doesn't max out the phone speaker volume, but it will still max out everything else. Oh and you can also change whatever other settings you want in JamesDSP.
I use wavelet for YouTube music. After I clear and wipe the musicfx system app which seems to automatically tune itself to some preset settings I don't like and then disable, I install wavelet. I then turn on it's notifications and set the buffering to prefer latency over clipping. Set my settings and off I go. But periodically I will notice my volume and sound will become dulled again and the sound will go back to being lower. I'll push the power button in wavelet and will discern no difference it anything. I'll change settings in the middle of a song and nothing. Can anyone please help me and tell me a way I can keep wavelet working?
Sorry, I don't have an answer to get it working - Even I had similar issues in Wavelet and couldn't get it work as intended. Then I gave a try for Poweramp Equalizer.

How's that compared to wavelet? I like the results of wavelet. Just a pain in the ass to keep it functional.

Is MusicFX a system app? I don't have this on my Pixel.
According to the website, most pre-installed music apps lack support for audio processing.
Or they require additional configuration.
Cheers

Yup it's a system app. I got the regular pixel 6. As far as I know it should be there. You can access it thru YouTube music. Go to settings, playback, equalizer. It's off unless you turn it on and when you do the already dubious volume gets even lower. Some bull**** if you ask me.
