Cos I already have done up many things on my sony xperia z and I really do not wish to do it from start again and moreover I'm really a noob in flashing rom and I do not want to take the risks of breaking my phone. The reason why I flash back to v11 is because it's still the loudest among all other versions. If you can bring back 192 khz that would be awesome. Btw I really do appreciate all your hard work and I'm just asking for your opinion you don't have to be so harsh right:rolleyes:
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I don't see why you want 192kHz so much... we already have 11.6MHz, isn't that powerful enough?! (That's wayyyy more powerful than 192kHz)

11.6MHz is 256*441000 so no aliasing when audio upsampling and it also sound much better. 192kHz is ideal for 48KHz but Windows X made 48KHz support for superclock quantization resampler so that increases audio upsampling to 12288000Hz! (About 12MHz)

192kHz is very pointless now...
[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
Sorry but I really have no idea what are you talking about I'm a noob :confused:

But what I feel is that v11 is still the loudest when phone lock & unlock and when you press soft key buttons and also when playing games (I have tested it myself lol) :rolleyes:

Edit: Let me post a thread with poll and see what all other users think about it lol :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Let's just say, if you want loudness, it has nothing to do with sampling rate...

Also, turn on xLOUD, isn't it loud enough for you??? I do not want to create distortions in speakers because that does not sound good. Quality over Volme dude..

The speaker is too quiet in v17 i agree but I will increase the speaker to 2 values increase in v18 :)

v11 was just TOO loud which caused distortions and audio clipping.
[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
I have already turn on xLOUD dude

Ya speaker is way too quiet in v17

v11 is just fine for me and I love it dude
[Xperia Z Android Development] doki81:
you love it but other people dont love it....

why not you make some donation to Zero and ask him to make you a special super loud edition :angel:

[MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION],

I am on V14 with S-Force Front Surround 3D for Xperia Devices on Stock rooted locked BL FW .434. I am upgrading to .253 FW as per this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2282415.

I understand that i will lose all mods and probably data during upgrade. Can I directly flash v17 and update my soundmod, or do i have to flash all from v11 onwards ( as explained a few posts behind)?

2nd question. In my current ROM, everytime i do a reboot, the "Android is Upgrading" appears during boot. Is this because of the S-Force Sound mod? will this happen again if I reflash this sound mod? what script do i have to disable so that the files of the soundmod in dalvik cache are not wiped? Thanks....

Dead Cookies leave no Trails...
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
You can directly flash v17 because you will have stock audio when you upgrade

Android is upgrading caused by idea files in ordered roms. Only stock users get this with s force on. Delete audioeffectservice.odex and semc_audioeffectif.odex and it should be good

When using v17, there is no sound during the phone call via bluetooth, would you mind have a check?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Benjoy Ericsson:
Yep, I have tried many times. I flashed back to stock 253 then flashed v17, the bug's still there. I couldn't hear anything during bluetooth callings and the answer-button on my MW1 didn't work too. I rolled back to stock fresh 253 and bluetooth calling worked normally.
[Xperia Z Android Development] o0oP5:
Been using this mod since v12,, this is a very good mod indeed.. Now using v17 and remove all the file in init.d except for the 99pure.. Works great!

[Xperia Z Android Development] Benjoy Ericsson:
If this can fix bluetooth bug, [MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION], would you please release a small update for fixing this bug? (maybe v17.5 or just fix this bug in v18). Unfortunately, I'm not good at modifying init.d :eek:
[Xperia Z Android Development] o0oP5:
Sorry,, i forgot to mention that i didn't use Bluetooth audio,, so i cannot confirm if its work or not..

[Xperia Z Android Development] Benjoy Ericsson:
In post #1738

You mentioned car Bluetooth call. Are you using any bluetooth headset or something else? I'm using MW1 Smart Wireless Headset and bluetooth call doesn't work with v17 :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
BT audio works but BT call does not work, I am already spending my time to fix it so I will release along with v18 since its nearly done
[Xperia Z Android Development] keroic:
Bluetooth phone calling works in v14, but no sound during phone call via bluetooth using v16.5 & v17

Well thats not my post,, and i dont use any bluetooth car call / headset.. But i can confirm it works well with doomkernel.. :)

I'm using my phone everyday in the car paired with my Kenwood DNX (wich has a Parrot bluetooth interface). It is working very well the bluetooth calling.I'm on V17.

I have another problem wich is not related to bluetooth audio. When I press the calling button on my Kenwood it doesnt always work, but this is not the subject of this topic.
[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
Hello there those who had pm me for v15 download link just pm me 1 time will do no need to pm me so many times iI will get back to u asap once I read your pm ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Something big is coming...

Bluetooth audio has been fixed but with the same fix we applied when PXA had 192kHz sampling rate. The Stock audio_policy.conf.

This will restore sampling rate back to stock values and make bluetooth work again. This is my only fix for this, if anyone else has another fix, I would like to hear it :)

Will be uploading BT fix ONLY in a few mins, v18 of PXA will come out later this week ;) (No actual ETA so don't ask.)

The PXA Presets will all have "+" on the end of each preset because it is an "advanced" version of the original presets in Walkman Sound Enhancements due to much wider range of frequency bands, so more customization and precise tuning :)

EDIT: PXA BT Patch is out!
[Xperia Z Android Development] brockyneo:
Is that power amp I see in the pic if so I'm downloading power amp back on my xperia z right this min ;)

Thanks zero
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Yes sir, I'm finally on PowerAmp! :D (Excellent audio customization and loving the Stereo X feature!)
[Xperia Z Android Development] brockyneo:
Lol please stop teasing us :p
[Xperia Z Android Development] sacredsoul:
My Audio Technicas have a impedance of 14Ohms and it's just nice at max volume. Then again, I might be going deaf as I was listening to music on max volume on the iPhone as well.

Re: [SOUNDMOD] PureXAudio v4.0 [18/03/2013]

Guys, I'm releasing v5.0 at 6:30pm instead since I'm still not home yet ;)

[Xperia Z Android Development] gallous_boy:
does this also enhance the speaker, which is very quiet on calls

the loudspeaker is ok.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Re: [SOUNDMOD] PureXAudio v4.0 [18/03/2013]

The same applies to all speakers in general. If I don't put it on OP, it won't be in the mod...

Sent From my blazing fast Sony Xperia Z C6603 powered by PureXAudio

EDIT: v5.0 is here! just flash straight over v4.0 and enjoy! (And no, speaker volume hasn't changed in this version either, if you're wondering that...)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Knight77:
ZeroInfinity do you suggest to keep the 5.0 "as it is" or in your opinion is better to use the volume patch? I mean the 5.0 with its default level creates distorsion?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
It is for you to decide my friend, I stick to how it is but if it starts bugging you, then try the stock volume patch :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] sacredsoul:
5.0 is AWESOME. It's even louder than before but absolutely no stuttering. Even at max volume. Though I listen to my music in PowerAMP so that might have made a difference.
[Xperia Z Android Development] fer2503:
Good workshop Zeroinfinity :D...buttare Now we want more volume for The lateral speaker for The ringtones in The Next release :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I'll try but there will be some audio glitches:

Speaker will produce a pop sound after every sound has ended, this is because the DAC will have to stop more vibrations all at once.

Speaker will produce a hissing noise because of more voltage is being used

Battery Life will drain more because of the very loud speaker volume

If you want me to increase speaker volume, you really need to think it through.

IMO, with xLOUD on and Clear Phase, the max volume is very loud already for me (Pretty quiet after underwater but at normal times, it's pretty loud)

So, question time: Do you guys want louder speaker volume and the problems above?
[Xperia Z Android Development] TheMorpheus:
R: [SOUNDMOD] PureXAudio v5.0 [23/03/2013]

Can you make a separate patch for it? I would like to try to boost the speaker without loosing the benefits of the original mod!
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
When I finally get a method to increase speaker volume, I'll release the patch :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ohy1994:
should i turn on clearaudio+?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
IMO ClearAudio+ sucks ass so I wouldn't recommend it...

Oh and GUYS I ENABLED SONY'S SECRET SOUND SETTING!!!

No idea how to make the sound effect actually work though, the option is there but it refuses to tick when i press on it

NEED XPERIA TABLET Z FIRMWARE SINCE IT HAS THE OPTION ENABLED ON THAT DEVICE!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Knight77:
In the walkman settings there is already some setting about 3D and scene sound, anyway nice discover :D

About ClearAudio+ is a "wow" effect in the beginning because pump up (a lot) volume and bass but I think it kinda change the sound from the original one and add too much effect. This is just my idea, nothing sure or professional, just feeling...
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
This is totally different to Walkman's Surround Sound VPT fyi
[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
Please release it dude :)

How you enable it dude :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
lol i haven't found a way to enable the speaker yet so please be patient

oh and I'm currently trying to enable the whole effect in soundenhancements so it ticks, for some reason it doesn't tick when you tap on it...

EDIT: logcat gave me this: W/PostAudioEffectAdapter( 595): Illegal intent : SForceSurround is not supported

If I can enable through smali codes I might make it work but it could be missing other files like libraries etc, so I'll leave this here until we have a tablet Z system dump/firmware :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Knight77:
Can you elaborate a bit more? I'd like to know why you think that, thanks :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
For once, the bass is GREATLY decreased though ALL the headphones/earphones I have used...

Sure, Volume and clarity has improved but the bass it just..... SOOOOOO BADDDDDDD YOU CAN BARELY HEAR IT!

I'd rather use stock audio than Clear Audio+, at least then, I will hear some bass...

Also, acoustics are ruined (Lost their realistic effect) and also, the treble is too loud and high it feels uncomfortable to listen to music...

Clarity is good but too much means getting rid of everything and increasing all the treble to much louder values
[Xperia Z Android Development] MafiaManV:
Re: [SOUNDMOD] PureXAudio v5.0 [23/03/2013]

Depends on what headphones your using. I find clearaudio very nice listening to. Bass is certainly there, and i got a feeling like it's constantly changing equalizer settings throughout songs. Your presets come in handy in some situations. ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Minotavrs:
Ι install stock .253 today and i need detailder info abouτ v17 installation

I install first v15 , v16,5 and finally v17 is that correct? i missing something because the sound is low ?

Can someone help me.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
if you are flash from complete stock .253 then you have stock audio right?

Just flash v17 then. v17 has low speaker volume yes I am aware of that, will increase again in v18 which will be released this week (No exact ETA)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Minotavrs:
Τhanks master !! :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dsteppa:
Will v18 have more tweaks for PowerAmp? Or have you delayed that.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
V18 will have my presets yeah
[Xperia Z Android Development] nikc0069:
Hi Zero, any chance of being able to toggle the BT Fix anywhere so we can have higher sampling rate and then when we need a bt call (as I understand BT audio is still ok?) we can just switch it? Or would this not be possible?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I don't think there is any way to switch between sampling rates when inside OS, the only way to get back the 11.6MHz audio upsample is to reinstall the whole mod
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dymor:
On V17, bluethoot call works fine. Just tried today.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Xagerado:
But, what is the problem with bluetooth? My calls on parrot 9200 works fine too...

[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Lol I'm totally confused, some people said BT calls does work but a few others said it doesn't work!

Oh well, the fix is there for those who are having problems with their Bluetooth
[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
Please bring back the loud loud sound in v18 ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
This mod was mainly for improving audio quality, not for volume. If you feel that volume is not good enough then flash the extra volume boost mod in the themes and apps section of the Xperia Z forum.

I am not sacrificing audio quality for the sake of louder volume. I have already increased volumes slightly so that quality can be retained and volume can still be slightly increased, you need to learn that higher volume = less audio quality.

v18 will have slightly louder xloud volume again (too low on v17 so i moved to 1-2 value higher)
[Xperia Z Android Development] fer2503:
volume level like in v16?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Yeah, should be like in v16
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dsteppa:
I don't know if this possible or not but:

When using a BT device to listen to music, the sound is a lot higher, I guess it's because you have 2 volume slider (1 BT, 1 general sound). I don't hear any distortion, wouldn't it be possible to someone implement the BT slider for example when you're not using a BT device.

I barely listen to music without using my BT device, but it's just an idea. Could you listen to music while using a BT device and tell me if you're hearing an distortion (listening to music through BT is about 35%?? higher?).
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
implant a slider? I do not have any experience with smali coding or making apps :p PowerAmp will provide this feature with "PreAmp" in it's equalizer. Increase or decrease the preamp and it lowers of increases the volume :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dsteppa:
Aaah ok no problem, looking forward to v18, I can't stand that my music doesn't play automatically when I insert the jack into the plug...

Something that PowerAmp does support
[Xperia Z Android Development] thaimeobeo1410:
please, don't let volume loud like in v16..... it's louder, but sound quality is so bad :(

i think it' should be middle of v16 and v17

sorry for my bad E
[Xperia Z Android Development] Benjoy Ericsson:
I think:

-For the speaker, just leave its stock vol, it's loud enough and I don't think people arround here like to listen to music with the XZ speaker. Boosting the volume of the speaker just cause distortion. :(

-For the headset, the most annoying thing we are dealing with is low volume. Increasing a little bit volume will satisfy many people. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] fer2503:
The speaker's volume of v16 it's perfect, in V17 the sound it's too Low and i don't Ear the incoming Call or message
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
what do you expect for speaker? Sound quality on speaker was already bad at stock lol.

Agree with speaker but some people like to watch movies etc on speaker.

Headset you mean Bluetooth or headphones? Headphones is already at max. One value higher will cause audio clipping.

Bluetooth I can increase volume but not sure if it will cause problems.

Agreed, maximum ringtone volume on Stock sucked.
[Xperia Z Android Development] lyndonguti:
I love the quality of v17 and the loudness of v16 ..like you said youll be putting the aound of v16... Even if it will not have the pure quality but it will have more loudness...ill still love it...:) that gonna be awsome

[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
It's only the speakers not being so high quality. But do people really need quality for speakers?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dsteppa:
No, but mankind in general loves to complain about anything and nothing.
[Xperia Z Android Development] fer2503:
i think that louder sound is better :D

for who want...there is the volume stock patch
[Xperia Z Android Development] FingerMove:
Does that still count?

I'd like to know if the PowerAMP presets coming in v18 would work in CyanogenMod 10.1, but I guess I'd have to try myself when it's out...
[Xperia Z Android Development] Benjoy Ericsson:
v17 worked normally on the newest fw 307, no more BT call bug on this fw. Now, I'm waiting for v18 :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
So it was the stupid firmware's fault?!!

Oh great, well if it works on new firmware I might as well take off the bluetooth addon.

Gotta update my rom's firmware to new one again...
[Xperia Z Android Development] Benjoy Ericsson:
Yep, I followed [NUT]'s instruction in this topic to update to stock 307 rom. Then, I flashed v17 and tested with my MW1. Both BT Audio and BT Calls worked normally. :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Ok nice, hope sony won't break anything anymore :p

v18 will release at the same time as my rom on Sunday again! :)

Save equalizer settings

This is a great sound mod, thanks ZeroInfinity!

One question: I want to fine-tune the custom equalizer settings you provided, to best work with my headphones and personal preference. However, after a reboot, they return to stock, i.e., my tuning is not saved. Is it expected to be this way? How can I save my settings?

Thanks again!
[Xperia Z Android Development] ramkrsn:
Awesome Mod ever for xperia

This is simply awesome works great with my Xperia S on JB .200. perfect
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
lol ok if it works for XS but I will not be providing any support whatsoever if you encounter any bugs on your device.

That is a known problem and I know it has something to do with permissions.

Since you are not going to keep my custom presets and want to fine tune your own, the easiest way is to go to settings > app > all apps, find "PureXAudio Engine" and erase data :) everything in sound enhancements will be back to stock, settings will stick and you will be free to do whatever fine tuning you like :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] dbolivar:
OK, but by erasing data, I still continue using the engine with the stock Walkman, right? Just the equalizer presets are gone?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Basically yes. Everything else is still fine if you just wipe data on PureXAudio Engine :)

PureXBeats, PureXPsychoRealism and PureXHiClarity names are still there however but I don't think that really matters as long as your presets stick after reboot then it's all good :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] o0oP5:
