volumes should be louder, if you listen to music it should be better

Guys, I'll say this once. When you install, it should always be successful. We don't even need to confirm it, audio will be improved.

If Xperia revolution has acid mod installed. Don't install this mod. It will definitely cause conflicts and the audio will not sound as I intended it to be

MW1 with V8 together work like a charm!!!

(Hotel California.flac, Papi.flac).

Now I'm gonna try V9 :D

Thanks for the great work!!!
[Xperia Z Android Development] anirudhks:
Hey zero thanks for the awsome work on v9 the wired plugs work great I feel the bt also works great but bt volume has gone down any tweak to increase? :D

CAnt agree more mate very true I did the same..... I think that song is till date best to check audio clarity
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Doubt I can do much with Bluetooth audio, increasing volume means higherb voltage output, which Bt audio might not handle properly...

I'll try to boost volume but if you get bugs I'll have to revert to stock, won't be able to fix since the power Bt gives out is too little...

Wired headphones are the best for using audio mods as you will get all of the feature (like 192kHz audio)

flashed successfully the lite version on my T. Sound seems to be a bit improved with headphones but I have no more sound with speaker (YouTube, walkman,...)

@all look with root explorer in system/etc/audio_effects.conf and in the first line and many others you will see that it was installed successfully.

No speaker audio? well that's a bit strange, I removed all of the device specific files...

I'll have a look at it again in a few mins
[Xperia Z Android Development] anirudhks:
thanks thanks thanks a lotttttttttt

also one last question sometimes when i come out of silent mode the music or sounds start playing from the ear piece speaker after reboot it becomes fine any idea?
[Xperia Z Android Development] adamsweeting:
Zero - The screen lock sounds don't change volume with any kind of volume change (ringtone or media)

Is that expected behavior?
[Xperia Z Android Development] dmc_universe:
Hi, ZeroInfinity, I tested almost every call recorder today and found that income voice volume in record is very low. Is there a way to fix it ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
i guess UI audio can't be quiet, 1st volume step, the UI sounds are pretty loud but it's normal for that to happen because of the volume mod

the earpiece too low? or microphone does not output enough volume?

WTF, this has never happened to anyone before...
[Xperia Z Android Development] anirudhks:
THis happend to me on V8 V7.5 and 9.0 after reboot it was fixed so if the phone is in silent mode and i try to play from speakers the sound was through the ear piece ( but the bass was very good there :P )

edit : by the way i am on KA04 ROM
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
that is VERY strange, I have never heard of this bug before xD

if you don't like it try switching roms :p might have something to do with conflicting AC!D Audio mod in that rom :)

How's the sound when being outputted by earpiece? :p sounds pretty cool actually xD
[Xperia Z Android Development] anirudhks:
no my version doesnt have acid , but really awsome bass in the earpiece ,,, quite surprised
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
well, I still never get this bug so I don't know what's wrong, to be honest I would like to hear how well the earpiece play music xD
[Xperia Z Android Development] dmc_universe:
The income volume recorded in a call recorder software such as "Record My Call", "Auto Call Recorder", "Call Recorder","Free Call Recorder - ACR" and "Recoder SmallApp"is very low with much noise. But the voice from the mic (out going volume) recorded very well.

Earpiece and mic output volume are good and loud, just has the issue to record it.

And now I find another issue, stock ROM (locked BL) do not support init.d boot-script, so 99pure you placed under /system/etc/init.d won't do anything on boot. I go through the zip file and did not find init.d related mod. So I guess you are using a ROM(or a Kernel) already come with the init.d support to do the test, and forgot to add init.d mod in PureXAudio?

I did many tests under /system/etc, find than you could simply add a line " busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d/ " in /system/etc/hw_config.sh to enable init.d support for stock ROM.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I guess all my mods aren't fully compatible with call recorders... the noise is due to high voltage from volume hack and the low volume may be conflicting with 192kHz audio

does that line work? :D (init.d script is not necessary to make the mod work but it just does the build.prop lines)

I don't know if you guys noticed this but the speaker volume on the 1st media volume step outputs A LOT of noise, this is also due to the high voltage output to amplify the volume further.
[Xperia Z Android Development] DreadPirateDan:
Wow, this is amazing. I was pretty skeptical on just how much louder it would make things and half expeted it to be more or less glorified EQ, compression and/or limiters. Well wasn't I blown away!

I did a little test of some music at max volume before flashing, then after booting and hitting play on the same song I jumped a little at how loud it was. Quickly covered the speaker hole and turned the vol down to half way and oncovered the hole, and it was still louder than what max volume was before!

Many thanks kind sir :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Yup, my audio mods are pretty amazing aren't they? :D

v10.0 is nearly ready! just need to test this out and I'll release on sunday :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] adamsweeting:
Zero - Any chance of a brief heads up of what's tweaked in V10?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
v10.0:

-Added custom asound.conf which lets ALSA know what sampling rates to use

-Forced 192kHz playback via ALSA so we get the epic combination of ALSA + 192kHz

-Forced 48kHz Voice playback (In-calls)

-Fixed presets not sticking after reboot

-Improved soundstage and audio quality via asound.conf

-Added custom asound PCM and CTL Modules (Thanks to aznrice2k4, found these from a long time ago :D)

-ALSA Upmix and Downmix Support

-New ALSA libraries

NOTE: v10.0 is ONLY for Xperia Z users, I am not going to be updating the LITE version for a long time... (Until I find some cool things which can be used on all devices)

[Xperia Z Android Development] dmc_universe:
Yes, I test it times using some scripts, they all work on boot.

FYI, I'm confused if 99pure is not necessary then why you place it. For example, without init.d support, af.resampler.quality would ge a default value as 255, but 99pure try to set it to 4. What's the difference between 255 and 4 ?

[Xperia Z Android Development] WhoWithTheWhatNow?:
Hi there,

Love to see someone trying to enhance the sound in the ZX. I have to say it sounds pretty low when using headphones (and I am using Sure SE420) and it seems this mod makes the sound quality not only better but louder.

Sorry to ask this but I admit I have never ever flashed a MOD in my life, so I am pretty lost here.

I don't have root or an unblocked bootloader or anything like that.

The only thing I have ever done is flash the generic UK stock ROM and nothing more (yes, I admit I am a major noob in the department)

So, my question is, can this be used with regular, stock ROM?

And if so, how do I do it?

Any help (or even a simple guide on how to do this) would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I read the OP but I admit I have no idea how to do it or if it is possible with my current setup.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Every modification to the android system needs a custom recovery. There are tutorials on how to unlock your bootloader, or if you want to stick with locked bootloader, there are exploits on getting root and installing a custom recovery.

You can find these tutorials in the "Xperia Z Original Android Development" section :)

EDIT: you should also try looking at this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2153167 for more detailed info :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] WhoWithTheWhatNow?:
Thanks for replying so quickly.

It seems I will have to do without your great looking mod..or learn how to root or something...time to learn something new I guess :D

[Xperia Z Android Development] fards:
Re: [SOUNDMOD] PureXAudio v3.0 [16/03/2013]

In poweramp go into settings - audio - advanced and select musicfx.

Then in the tone screen you can enable it disable it by pressing musicfx toggle and long click the switch to mess with the walkman tweaks while using poweramp.

Otherwise it will likely ignore them and use direct volume control.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
get ready for some 192KHz audio love!

Just discovered that our chipset, does in fact playback, not just 96 KHz but the maximum sampling rate is 192KHz!!!

Will definitely be putting this in v4.0 in a few days :D and when i have the chance, I might increase audio bitrate to 24/32Bit since our chipset also supports this

ohhh and another thing I have also found out:

SRS Engine is possible to activate but I just have no idea how to yet...

The only thing that worries me is battery life. I have no idea on how much power the MPQ8064 needs for the ultimate audio processing. I will carefully monitor the battery life and see how well it performs under heavy, advanced audio processing :)

You guys will LOVE v4.0 because....

LOUDER HEADPHONE VOLUME!!!! :D :D :D :D

...and some other cool things which GREATLY enhances the audio quality (And wider soundstage)
[Xperia Z Android Development] tanoxxx:
Wow Thanks :)

Also external speaker louder?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
no, not the external speaker...

I don't get it, xLOUD engine is perfect for making the speaker loud, why do you wan't it to be louder??? I mean, when i play a game even at 1 or 2 steps, the media volume for loudspeaker is loud enough LOL... and on the 3rd step of ringtone volume, the message tones are really loud :p

I won't focus on the Loudspeaker volume but when i have the time, I might have a look at it. Really though, if you are using the phone to play music though speakers at a party on in a room, I suggest you get proper external speakers :) the loudspeaker on this phone hasn't got a amplifier like on the HTC One (With HTC BOOMSOUND) so it's not easy making the volume go past stock. I fear going any higher then the max might blow out the speakers unless it has some kind of hardware limiter that prevents it from breaking...

Anyways, v4.0 is nearly done, expect a release in a few hours :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ouatitw:

I am using Android 4.2.2 audio-resampling library. The source code says android 4.2.2 can support up to level 4 MAX (hey, it's not me, I'm just going by what the source code says)

but level 4 still sounds good, you won't hear the difference from 255 and 4 :)

the init.d was for people who had init.d support which adds and replaces build.prop lines via the script (making audio even more better!)

I will add init.d support along with this since you said that the method you posted before works :)

[Xperia Z Android Development] ghost_razr:
No intentions of spamming the forum, just one more quick question its about the playback audio supported by the lite version.... i am looking for an audio mod that supports 96kHz playback audio

Really appreciate the reply!!
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
No, and there

never

will be.

A lot of phones will not support 96kHz or 192kHz audio because of no kernel support, no hardware support etc

That is why 192kHz is only for Xperia Z because the kernel and hardware (WCD9310 DAC) supports it.

You cannot simply force the sampling rate higher to a unsupported sampling rate, that will cause a lot of weird bugs. It is impossible to go higher than hardware limits.

Also, every phone has different hardware so it's not possible to make it universal either

[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I'm not even going to bother with call recording on this one.

Call recorders do not support 192kHz so you can say goodbye to 192kHz if you love your call recording so much...

RomAur fixed the problem already by restoring the stock audio_policy.conf, I'm not going to apply that fix to sacrifice 192kHz audio playback...
[Xperia Z Android Development] ManuH8:
If i apply audio_policy.conf i lose 192khz? Ok, bye call recording xd

[Xperia Z Android Development] dmc_universe:
A serious bug in V10 :

I tested 44.1KHz and 48KHz 20~20000Hz frequence scan wav files, found that set resample quality to 4 introduced a serious SRC problem on 44.1KHz, you could hear it clearly by ear even no need to do a spectrum analysis by professional software.

A frequence scan should sound like there is only one sound line, and above 16000Hz you should not hear anything. But when SRC problem occurs, you could hear a main sound line go with one or multi interlaced sub lines, which won't dispear even go above 16000Hz. This is what exactly happens when set resample quality to 4.

So, maybe 4 is not the highest value but the lowest one. What the source code says is definitely wrong !

Download the frequence scan wav files below, first try 48KHz, then before trying 44.1KHz promise me you won't smash you phone...

[44.1KHz][20-20000Hz].wav

[48KHz][20-20000Hz].wav

[96KHz][20-20000Hz].wav
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
so setting it to 255 fixes this problem? ok then I'll switch back to 255 in the next release...

I really don't hear much of a difference imo

the lowest value would be 1 lol
[Xperia Z Android Development] dmc_universe:
Yes, 255 is OK. you could hear the crap clearly above 16000KHz
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dsteppa:
Maybe you could "fix" this in version 10.1 or something, wouldn't really need a big version change just for this.:silly:
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
yup, that's what I'm gonna do :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] dmc_universe:
44.1KHz download link has some problem, maybe someone can't download it. Now it should be fixed.

If anyone want to know what a SRC problem sounds like, just try this frequence scan files, that would tell you why SRC quality is very very important.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
10.1 is up! :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] dmc_universe:
Maybe max value 4 is only for Android 2.x.

As we all know Google did a big improvement on Android 4.x to resolve SRC problem.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
we will see if sony has changed the resampling values when we get the 4.2.2 update :)
