So just like with other OnePlus phones, since the introduction of Dolby Atmos, EU devices are missing the equaliser option from their settings. The solution to get it back was quite simple: You could install the global AA firmware and the setting would re-appear. Better yet it was discovered that you could simply install the Dolby Atmos APK from the Razer 2 and get even more control.
Now that we're dealing with Dirac, it's clear that installing the Dolby Atmos APK won't do us any favours, so back to plan A: install the India firmware (this time DA - AA firmware is out there, but not on Oxygen Updater yet). However, it turns out that was wasted effort as, despite now being on India firmware, the option is still missing.
Now I know there is (or was) an equaliser option on the Nord - as I've spotted it in various Indian review vids.
For example, here is the XDA review of the EU Nord, which lacks the option: https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-nord-review/ | [Dirac Audio Tuner]
And here is an example of the Indian Nord, which has the option: https://youtu.be/q476VlnRsbQ?t=765
So this begs the question - have OnePlus introduced further checks to disable the option for EU units? Or have they simply removed the option for everyone?
It'd be interesting to see whether other people are seeing the option and whether there's anyone out there with the global firmware (AA) and what they see
Hey I just flashed my EU device with the global FW and still got no EQ
But I just did it via local update and did not wipe, maybe that helps.
Would be awesome to activate it with adb or something
I don't have it in my Indian variant. It's only there when I connect an earphone.

If that's the case, sounds like they just outright removed the option.
Must admit, the version shown in the YouTube video did look like the dolby atmos eq. Perhaps dolby weren't to happy about that and told OnePlus to remove it... We can only speculate.
I have the dirac audio tuner on mines?

That is not the equilizer as mentioned in the TS: https://youtu.be/q476VlnRsbQ?t=765
But I understand correctly there is no solution to get the equaliser working on the Nord? That is a real bummer! Because sometimes you just want to add a little bit of bass or surround to your source. Isn't there anything we can do? Like complaining @ One+?

Latest version? Else we can install the Indian version and this would fix our problems.
Why doesn't EU and Global versions doesn't have an equalizer pffff.. Due to restrictions? It's just an equalizer. Can somebody explain why?
I have added an idea for the equalizer. Please vote, and hopefully they will add this option: https://www.oneplus.com/nl/communityideas#/detail?threadId=1662

Possibly some patent (infringement) they would need to pay for, or some law around data collection being broken. there are equalizers in the app store, so you could also say, great, less bloatware on the device

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.
There's a Nougat Dolby port confirmed working on 8.1 ROMs. Thanks to @roisuke guide (and permission to repost for info) on the LOS15.1 thread summarising steps similar to the original Pixel 2XL guide, which uses the old ARISE N Dolby Atmos zip. In roisuke's post, his/her reason for trying this old Dolby is the newer Dolby boot loops on LOS15.1. In my case I was looking for a better compatible and audio quality Dolby when I found out about it. There's a few reasons i'll group into headings below. I know Dolby speakers that we paid for on stock for our device is a loved feature sought by more than just a few of us. I hope to help improve some people's speaker audio experience like I have, finally rivaling stock performance with V4A extra on top :laugh:
For installation instructions I'll just link roisuke's post, as mine has more to do with settings and usage explanation. I will just add that I had a different issue installing that Dolby zip on RR-O, the process would freeze without an error, requiring a force restart. The zip isn't detected by Magisk Manager and so can't be installed there. I couldn't install the zip when any Magisk version is installed. I ended up having to uninstall Magisk to allow the zip to install to system and then follow up with the other Magisk audio mods installed normally, Viper4Android (i'm on the old 2.3.4.0 for it's Super driver and better graphic equaliser), Ainur Sauron (optional maybe, it claims to improve audio in system and targets Axon 7 as well, I haven't tested this mod without it yet) and lastly Audio Media Library. Also thanks to @Oki for pointing out the hifi DAC patch is necessary with this particular Dolby mod.
Nougat Dolby sounds better
The reasoning is that I've recently been testing custom ROM N Dolby and it sounds just as good as stock N had. While I tested Oreo Dolby ports back when the B32+B10 bootstack was new also just recently too and found it didn't sound as good as N's. Therefore I understand it's not a custom port issue that the new O Dolby sounds worse than N but that it's the updated Dolby itself.
It can work together with V4A
A benefit of this old N Dolby is it is working with current V4A whereas I can't seem to get the new O Dolby to run with V4A, it did when I tested months ago but I can't recreate that either. A benefit to using V4A in combination is it's "Firequalizer" to preset "Small Speakers" accentuates bass and lessens the tinny treble, this is something I used to do back on stock N as well.
It can be configured to set and forget
A little talked about but great feature of stock Dolby is it remembered the settings separately for plugged/unplugged and for each individual app last playing audio too. That made it so good being only on for internal speakers as I preferred and would change settings mode automatically when you stopped audio and started in another app.
Custom ROMs with Dolby ports doesn't remember states, however with a bit of compromise it can be used as such on this N Dolby if you prefer Dolby to only affect internal speakers. The trick is to set no extra filters and EQ in Dolby but just have Dolby enabled. With all other settings off, it still positively affects speaker audio but has no affect on headphone jack audio, you can test this by listening either way while switching on and off. This works combined with the V4A equaliser settings as previously explained. Set rather simply as so, the speaker output has less harsh treble and increased bass to sound similar in presentation to listening on quality headphones.
Extra notes
A shortcoming bug with this N Dolby port however is the Surround Virtualisation feature doesn't work on speakers. It seems reversed and only works when plugged in, I find it best to leave it off as preferred and it will stay off. This bug is unfortunate as the surround was always nice in my opinion, but it's only one loss compared to all the other gains. For what it's worth I couldn't audibly hear a benefit of the surround feature on the O port in my limited testing. Also consider if using the O port where the effects are all somewhat changed for worse in my opinion, it also has to be manually switched off afterwards to not affect plugged audio unlike with the workaround available in the N port. In terms of comparing missing new features, the Oreo version has a bass boost toggle and a dynamic setting, overall though I couldn't settle on an audio setup I liked with any Oreo Dolby settings.
Conclusion
I hope my experience will help others to finally get the most out of their speakers with Dolby and V4A. Since moving from stock N to custom Oreo in early April left me disappointed in O Dolby quality usage issues, I'd stopped using it and relied only on V4A's Speaker Optimisation setting for improving the speakers as a compromise but it always left me wanting in comparison. However now recently finally figuring all this out, i'll be using this for the forseeable future. I really adore the loud unbeatable quality Dolby speaker output for general listening, I mean even a dozen meters away it sounds transformed like a good dedicated mini speaker is playing. This coming from someone who appreciates listening on premium headphones too.
Nice work ofcourse but i dont agree nougat dolby sounds better. In dolby oreo there is more to adjust also

It depends on your ears (or beliefs) I guess. Regardless if you've preference for O or N's Dolby, there's still good reason to use the N port. Mainly that it's able to be set and forget and also it's working with V4A aiding it too without issue.
So after reading your guide I liked the idea of a "set and forget" approach and chose certain presets for fireequalizer while in headset (bass booster) or speaker (small speakers) modes; also I changed v4a to the older version since I was unaware of its "super driver". However in the Dolby app I chose to leave on the "intelligent eq open" because to my ears the sound came across "fuller" if that makes sense.

I'd recommend Dolby's extra customisations to be off because they remain active when plugged in. Unless of course you like any of its setting for both plugged and speaker. Relying on V4A for separated audio modifications fits well, you could try playing around trying to improve settings there if desired.
I used to prefer Rich in Dolby with Small Speakers in V4A together with Surround Virtualisation. Now with SV unavailable, I assume the EQ effects in Dolby are less pronounced because I can't notice much of positive difference with them on. When the issue being the setting will affect plugged too, it's a small worthwhile loss turning them off for the automated convenience.
Your headset preferences will totally depend on your headphone hardware and listening preferences. From my reading and understanding it's better to only use an EQ to reduce Frequency Response range positive peaks. Never to increase EQ as that introduces artificial noise. I'll attach two screenshots showing my hifi headphones FR graph and the V4A EQ I use to show what I mean (EQ graph doesn't match scale, zoom in to see the tiny DPI X Y values). The green line is the ideal neutral target FR with bass effect for headphones. Note when adjusting V4A's graphic equaliser the range of each frequency band is only shown on the old original 2.3.4.0 version.
Obviously mobile speakers are different in severely lacking bass, accuracy and need the bass EQ boost regardless of accuracy.

@roisuke, It works as expected using Magisk 16.7. I did in another order and it also worked:
1. V2A FX 1.6.9 or later (I've tested old and current versions)
2. Sauron MK II.II 02.05.2018 or later (I've tested old and current versions)
3. BQ-E4 Dolby ATMOS (Dolby-Oreo.zip)
4. AML 1.7 or later (I've tested old and current versions).
I've noticed the flashing order is irrelevant as long as AML is the last one (It is intented to be always the last module to gather all the audio configs). It works with any install option of V2A (I prefer 2.5.0.5 traditional interface).
I believe the flashing of the ARISE module reroutes the audio paths and disables the hifi DAC when the BQ-E4 Dolby ATMOS is installed. I suspect it because the quality is vastly improved only if, at the end, I flash the Mixer_AK4490.zip to restore the HiFi DAC wiring paths.
These are great news since in Oreo I haven't found a way to have DA and V4A together.

I already listed why I prefer 2.3.4.0. I didn't mention in general UI the newer versions hide settings behind presses, makes it harder to use and see for example the selected EQ visual profile.
I was focused on speakers so actually hadn't tested jacked audio expecting it to just continue hifi as always on newer bootstacks. I thought Ainur Sauron is supposed to include the DAC patch as @Skrem339 added Axon 7 mods to it, he's also the author of the AK4490 DAC patch in question.
In any case I gave jacked audio some testing. I immediately found with the DAC patch there's static noise when booting jacked in and charging, but it phased out after replugging power, further testing for this may be necessary. After a few short install uninstall tests audio comparison, quality does sound improved. Thanks for mentioning that detail.
Here's the DAC patch thread with system and systemless. I updated the OP with this detail. Systemless only installs through TWRP still by the way. Small note worth mentioning though maybe unrelated is my fingerprint sensor stopped working after installing the Magisk patch, but worked again after uninstalling and reinstalling (a reset may have been enough).

Well, I havent tried it in a Treble ROM. I don't play games or watch ATMOS movies. For Youtube, music and general audio, Viper4Android provides more features and richness to the sound so I don't use ATMOS at all. For external speakers I only notice more volume and some equalization, and I also have that configured in V4A in the speakers section. Treble roms are tricky. V4A is awesome when used properly.

Been meaning to ask, @Oki. Your settings above are for headphones, right?
The Axon 7 isn't my daily driver so I don't use headphones with it much as I don't carry it around. Been trying to get some good speaker settings, mostly for locally stored music and occasional streaming video.
On this Nougat ROM Dolby Atmos and Viper 2.6.0.5 are working well together. In AEX 5.4 Oreo the two are also working but not necessarily together. A long time ago someone posted custom FireEQ settings which I still use but the other stuff not too sure about.

I have read the the device is support LDAC Bluetooth.
But when I change Bluetooth codec in developer setting to LDAC it got no sound. Testing with my fiio btr3 the indicator light change to white thae mean I using LDAC but got no sound.
The only codec that work is just sbc, aac and aptx.
Anyone know how to enable LDAC or just tell me that it not supported LDAC yet.
PS. When using the other codec it has worst quality than it should tho compare to my Nokia8. Why this happen?

Same thing, @kaelthasxx. I'm also trying to setup my wh1000xm3 with the Mi A3 and there's just no way of making ldac work. Not to mention that using aptx gets me an awful quality. If I run a frequency response test I get a lot of crackling at frequencies around 17-20khz with aptx.
The best quality I managed to get out of this setup was using sbc, which is a shame since the headphones support all the way up to ldac.
I think this is some issue with the OS (I'm using the phone's native Android One), since in theory the BT soc of this phone should support these technologies. Hope they fix it for Android 10.

Is it confirmed fixed in Android 10 (ie a month or so factory fix all going well) or should I just go custom rom and fix it now (although the whole reason I went a3 was to get a stock Android device)
If I was to go rom route what's the suggested rom? I'm assuming a3 and a3 lite use the same base rom package?
Thanks to all in advance

I can't confirm for LDAC, but AAC doesn't work, it always revert to sbc. For now is better to try a custom as bluetooth codecs never worked for me.
here you go! was also waiting for long months to access any better then SBC...
A3 with A10 stock, April version + Sony XM3, latest app version
--> AptX is on!
checked developer settings and this confirms. AptX is shown on (its not AptX HD by the way). trying to select any better eg LDAC wont stick when return from setting, also no codec effect.
at least something... good luck guys!
No

No
Any update on this? How does the phone do with the latest firmwares?
(I plan to get Sony headphones)
Mi A3 with Android 11 here. No LDAC option, best is aptX but the WH-1000-XM4 dont support it so... best codec is AAC.
Thread to be closed.
Thanks for the guide, much appreciated!
works great on EvoX too.... Thanks for the tip
I have installed this mod on Miui eu v11.0.11 and it works beautifully. The bass is much cleaner than dolby atmos plus which has very muddy bass. The definition is also way better with viper. The only thing I'm yet to figure out is how to reduce the processing delay. It is noticeable sometimes when increasing volume or changing tracks.
Also when the bass hits there's clearly some hint of attenuation going on which makes me feel that something is limiting the overall output. I will go over the instructions for v4a because it's much more complicated than atmos. After that I can give a proper opinion.
Thanks a lot for this tutorial.

That's normal as every device will be hardware limited on the output gain. Try adding gain amplification, it might help in some cases.
There are way too many options to go through, but you will most likely find what you need.

Don't worry, v4a does not work on his A10 or 11 versions. I tried on both already. I recommend you trying other firmware. PixysOS works well.
On redmi note pro global after doing everything it shows the driver version but the rest is No's neon enabled no too . I'm on latest EU.miui

MIUI 12? I havent tried this on MIUI 12 yet. Global is still receiving the update, so I'm currently using PyxisOS.
EDIT: I've found the "fix" for the issue. Just go to Settings and enable Legacy Mode. This alone worked for me on MIUI 12.0.1 EEA Global.

Turn on legacy mode on Settings
Quick note for all those who like to install every single update out there... The newest version of v4a app (2.7.2.1) was really misbehaving on my 9s running miui eu v11.0.11 so I had to remove it. Every time a notification came in there was a loud crackling noise from the loudspeaker just before and after playing the notification tone. It's as if the speaker is turned on and off just before playing a sound but the popping sound was extremely annoying. Also, the app obviously isn't optimized to work on the rom because it could only work in compatibility mode. Disabling compatibility mode made the app unresponsive and sometimes it froze up the entire system forcing me to hard reboot. Loading ddc and irs presets was hit and miss at best.
Anyone wishing to update the v4a app from v2.7.1.6 be warned. If you decide to update anyway, let us know if it works well for you and your rom setup.
PS: I just stumbled across the ddc and irs profiles for my iems and I'm completely sold. Viper4Android is the king of sound mods. Dolby can't touch a hair on it. I knew that my once timid redmi note 9s was a music giant. It just needed to be woken up and v4a was the adrenaline shot it needed.
I just couldn't live with the crappy sound of the stock rom knowing that the Texas Instruments TAS2562 Class-D Audio Amplifier in my phone was capable of putting out up to 6w of power.

Can you share those profiles? I tried the latest v4a and it wouldn't work. It just wasn't active when I clicked on the chip icon.

To make v4a work just go back to version 2.7.1.6.
DDC profiles are specific to the headphones they're calibrated for. If you try them on different headphones they will sound like crap because every headphone model is tuned differently by the manufacturer.

Actually it works in legacy mode after removing Audio modification library and rebooting.

Thanks. I didn't try that. Is it completely stable?

It is. No problem with notification sound. Didn't notice any instability.

Keep testing. I'm not going to reinstall it just yet. I don't even see a big difference over the previous version. The most notable changes target android 11.

I can confirm this, V4A FX 2.7.2.1 work on 11.0.10.0 without Audio Modification Libary.
I just needed to enable legacy mode, it seems stable and without any bugs.
I will report back in a few days if something is wrong
12/11/2020 edit: yup, everything seems to be fine
Seems like V4A doesn't work on Redmi Note 9S with MIUI 12.0.2 Global, or atleast it doesn't work on my RN9S. I've tried everything mensioned here and on other forums but I always get
Neon enabled: No
Status: Abnormal
Audio Format: Unsupported.
Ive literally ran out of ideas now.
[Update] I finally got it working. I remembered that some years back, in order to get V4A working we had to change SELinux from "Enforce" to "Permissive". So I downloaded SELinuxModeChanger, changed SELinux to "Permissive" and now V4A is working great. To keep V4A working after every reboot I have to change SELinux to "Permissive", which I don't really mind...
Thanks for the update, helped me get v4a processing again on v12. I knew about the selinux restriction but it was so long ago I completely forgot about it. Good thing SELinuxModeChanger still works despite not being updated for 3 years
I'm upgrading from my iPhone 6S and the Pixel 6 appears to almost be the best phone.
Expect it doesn't have Dolby Atmos for music.
Is there any way to add it back via software/rooting the phone?
Thanks.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I've seen it reported that this Dolby mod works on the Pixel 6 series. Can't confirm myself as I haven't tried it.

Works on Pixel 6 @ GrapheneOS. Thank you !
The absolute best music player app for Android, is Power Amp! Fabulous equalizer, tons of controls, and definitely increases sound levels, depending on head gear. You can make your own EQ settings for different headphones, and with a couple taps, your good to go. Power Amp is the number one or #2 most paid for app in Playstore.

Not sure if you upgraded to Android 13. Just want to ask if Dolby Atmos works on GrapheneOS 13?

It doesn't work at A13. It's no problem to install it but it's closed immediately when opening it. Sad because it's working well in A12L.
This is working but sometimes requires a few reboots to get your you unlock pattern/pin working.
