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.

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.

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?
Doesnt work anymore on LineageOS 14.1 latest version. I cant change back to permissive.

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.

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 didn't have a problem like this on my previous phone (nexus 5x).
Non rooted phones: Several music apps with good build in equalizer like for example poweramp
If your phone is rooted you should install viper4android its one of the best equalizers android has
Thanks, i'll look into it. And what about ARISE sound systems ? Is there any major differences between multiple equalizers?

You should install it through magisk if youre rooted you can find viper4android in the downloads section of the magisk app: "viper4android fx materialized" working perfectly on miui 9 and 10 or any custom rom
Gotcha, will do. Thanks again.
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.

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
Has anyone been able to install Dolby Atmos on the Pixel 4a? I have tried several versions, but they fail to install. I have Viper4Android installed, but uninstalled it before trying the various Dolby mods.. I have tried Dolby Atmos on my iPad with Apple Music and it sounds really good! I am not able to replicate the sound with Viper either… Viper sounds excellent, but I can’t get the spatial sound as good as Dolby Atmos.
it works fine for me
10.0 OS - Google Drive

Thanks! It worked, but this seems to be Dolby Digital… I use Apple Music and my wife’s Samsung S21 the Dolby Atmos switch is present in the app, on my Pixel 4a it’s not. Even with this mod it’s not possible to activate. There is a track on Apple Music, «From sterero to spatial» with The Weeknd’s Save Your Tears with a voiceover talking about Dolby Atmos. Halfway through the track, Dolby Atmos is activated and the change is extreme! Sadly, on my Pixel there’s no change in audio even with this mod.
So, what I am looking for is a Dolby Atmos mod which enables Dolby for Apple Music as well..
You can use Razer Phone 2 Dolby Atmos, which is one of the best modules ever made. Below is the zip file, as far as I know it works on all Android versions. If you are using A12, yes, it works. I tried the same on stock Android and Lineage OS, but in PE, but it was going to bootloop. But not in any other os.
