[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] riot1031:
Does anyone know if this mod will force the HTC 10 to use both speakers when ringing? Thanks!
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Definitely not, I didn't even know HTC 10's ringer only played through one speaker (only had it for 4 days). You might have to look elsewhere though because this is a soundmod focused on audio quality, rather than adding things such as stereo ringer playback.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] riot1031:
Thanks for the quick reply! Yeah, the only thing I don't like about the 10 is that the ringtone only comes from the bottom speaker. Makes the ringtone sound horrible!

AdaptiveSound M9 no effect(only for HTC 10)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Yes. But if the sense 8 settings.apk Is inside rom, we need the adaptive sound, otherwise we can't change boomsound presets

Hi there how are you .

After playing with the error #10 during the firmware upgrade, finally got it done .

Then flash the maximum HD . Real nice ROM by the way

I went and flash the mod again . It worked better than in 5.1

But when I went to recovery to flash atmos d2

Went to try it. It force close.

> the permission are set to permissive

> follow the instructions having boomsound off and speakers in music mode

That's the only thing the phone is missing

But it has dsp1 it sounds awesome thanks for that

Maybe I'm doing something else wrong in my end .

you do know about music. With the new psychorealism preset the klipsch R6 sound better than before. Thanks for that
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Atmos is outdated, best to use one from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/android/software/soundmod-axon-7-dolby-atmos-t3412342

DS1 and DS2 are two different things (NOT Atmos related): DS2 is working on MaximusHD (when I was using it) and DS1 is just stock (gave an option to revert back if something goes wrong).

If you use the M9, the options I used were only to add DS2 upgrade option in the AROMA installer, skipped everything else.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
i mean we needed the adaptivesound.apk, otherwise on sense 8 ports/ or roms with sense 8 add-on there was the boomsound option missing.

i know that the m9 can't have the real adaptivesound from 10 working.

also i saw you have Harman and Kardon for m9. could it work with the 10 too? used it when i had the m8. better sound than with boomsound. would be awesome to have it on the 10 to try it, too :)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dlads:
Haha I like this :good: nice.. ;)

I'll give this mod a whirl and let you know, haven't tried your work before.

Cheers.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] lateral18:
Thanks for the link, it worked so well
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BL4CK_92:
should i Flash the Axon one for the m8?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
You have to flash and see whether it works or not. Just flash it. Backup system before it and yea. If one doesn't work, just flash another over it
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AadilK:
Hello,

Set: HTC One M8.

I followed all the steps and successfully installed the mod. It works and everything and the sound is fantastic(poweramp/neutron+Vsonic Gr07) but there's a problem. There's a clipping sound(best word I could find to describe the sound) heard at random, during playback. I use the earphones exclusively so I don't know if the speakers have the sound as well(or not).

It isn't that apparent during listening to Metal or Rock genre at high volume, but when I play an audiobook, it really annoys me.

I have disabled most of the apps and tried playing music but it's the same. The clipping/crackling sound occurs at random. Sometimes after 2 mins, sometimes after 15. Sometimes twice in 10 seconds.

Please help!
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
is crackling you describe like audio stuttering? basically it pauses and resumes for a split second (like audio is buffering). Stuttering should not happen if you do not use third party DSPs or music players which have built-in DSPs. I'm afraid the problem is more user oriented as you're the only person to have this problem on the M8 since I started supporting it 2 years ago. All I can do is suggest to try using a normal music player without any DSP like Google Music or stock HTC Music player and see if it happens then.

Also it would help if you reflashed your ROM without any mods except this one in case something else is causing this issue.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AadilK:
Thank you sir for replying.

I don't have anything else on this phone except for AcousticX. I followed the instructions to the word in the original post.

Android 5.0.1, HTC Sense version 6.0. I use this as an ipod replacement and hardly ever get online or do much else on the phone(except for an occasional whatsapp chat etc)

I will proactively pursue the troubleshooting now and try various players or the stock default ones(I suppose in safe mode or otherwise) and report back.

The bothersome noise or 'hiccup' or crackle, during playback, sounds like if the recording was bad/bad source but of course if I rewind it 5 seconds, and play again, there's no interference since the source recording is clean.

I will try to observe some patterns for a week and inform you in this thread. Hope to pin point the culprit.

Thank you again
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
that description is definitely audio stuttering. I have had this a couple of times on the M9 and the culprit was using 3rd party DSPs like Viper4Android or Dolby Atmos mods. Also you mentioned you're still on Android 5.1? Any reason you didn't update to Android 6.0? that might help with the problem you're having.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AadilK:
No particular reason.

Only I figured since the M8 is old and has ram less than the newer HTC mobile sets, an older operating system might suit it well. Kinda like wanting to use windows XP on a pentium 4 machine.

Installing windows 7 on the P4 might slow it down. Newer OS might have extra features or ram requirements that may not be met satisfactorily by my old(er) phone.

The logic may be flawed and I'm open to suggestions or recommendations.

I'm just a novice smart phone user. No pun intended w/ 'novice smart'.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
To be honest, the rule doesn't apply for the m8 (or any phones running high end processors from the s800 series no matter how old), the snapdragon 801 processor is more than capable with marshmallow and can still benefit from improvements to the art runtime and better OS optimization :) (see the Nexus 5 for example, older than m8 but runs marshmallow like a champ) I suggest you try it, and if not, there's always a way to downgrade back to lollipop.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AadilK:
Thank you sir.

I will research the subject further(upgrade/downgrade) and may give it a try in hopes of fixing the sound problem.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
As you may have already known, I now have the HTC 10. I have been reconfigurating BoomSound Dolby profiles for the last 2 weeks now. I am considering a different approach to my sound mod and I would like to hear the public's opinion on it.

Rather than modifying system files, I am thinking of ONLY changing ds1-default.xml. The soundmod has been revolving around that for the last couple of version now. These days, most high end recent devices already support native 24 bit playback on any audio and up to 96/192kHz on FLAC 96/192 encoded files. There isn't any need for me to try and force 24 bit at all times now as it is already there by default on the HTC 10. There's not really much tricks left to do as recent devices have caught up with the audiophile sector of technology.

The thing I have a lot of experience at is tuning audio playback via DSP as I have done for these past 2 years on a number of devices and I would like to continue doing so.

I hope this doesn't disappoint anyone, but I honestly don't think there's any point of the base mod anymore but rather just reconfigurating ds1-default.xml (boomsound Dolby presets).

Yes I didn't see anything with idol 3
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Exactly
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
there you have your answer ;)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mike Grace:
I agree also. Just wondering if you know what file in mixer paths to adjust for more volume. Or is the HTC 10 different. Maybe it's Tasha mixer paths that have to be adjusted.

---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ----------

Have another question about HTC 10. Is the DAC the same for speakers as for headphones. Maybe if different somehow switch that DAC from headphones to speaker output
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
There is no such thing as dedicated DAC for mobile phones (one for speakers and one for headphones). You may be confused with the term "DAC" and "amplifier". The HTC 10 has dedicated amps for headphones and speakers. It does NOT have a different DAC for headphones/speakers. Excluding the LG V20 (which uses a custom sound chip with 4 DACs inside), every mobile device using on-board DAC (the DAC supplied with the System-On-Chip i.e. WCD9335 on the Snapdragon S820) has only one DAC.

I know a method of increasing volume without modifying mixer paths but modifying ds1-default config. I have yet to experiment this but I am almost certain it will work.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mike Grace:
Thank you for the clarification. I just read an article that says "The HTC 10 uses a stand-alone DAC as well as headphone amp and isn't using the Snapdragon 820 DAC. "

---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

Also found this article. Official Statement :

We use a discrete DAC (not one on the SoC) in addition to the amp and have done a ton of PCB engineering to insure the best possible signal-to-noise ratio. Credit to HTC engineering, not off-the-shelf components.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
well, I'm not too sure about what DAC the HTC 10 uses because I'm confused at that but I can assure you, no mobile devices are using multiple DACs with the exception of the LG V20 using quad DAC in one sound chip. Usually, there is only one DAC.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mike Grace:
So how would we confirm which DAC the HTC 10 uses
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
I have no clue, because HTC issues an official statement, I guess we should follow that. Although I am still confused because in kernel debug I can see that the soundcard is identified as msm8996-tasha-cdp-snd-card, which is the WCD9335 DAC.

But we don't need to get into the DAC really, it's already excellent.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xunholyx:
HTC has bypassed the Qualcomm DAC with the headphones. It uses a separate amp and 24bit high res DAC for them instead.

But that is only for the headphones. The speakers and Bluetooth use the DAC built into the SoC.

http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-10-audio-testing-boomsound-evolved
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
wtf? really?

I thought 24 Bit DAC WAS the WCD9335 (because that DAC can already support 24/192 natively)... It seems I've made a mistake

But kernel side, there's not differentiation. Is this HTC's custom design? or used from another manufacturer?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xunholyx:
In the article I linked, he asked HTC about it. This was their response:

"We use a discrete DAC (not one on the SoC) in addition to the amp and have done a ton of PCB engineering to insure the best possible signal-to-noise ratio. Credit to HTC engineering, not off-the-shelf components."

Sounds like it's HTC's own.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] azZA_09:
Hey, I dont know if it's useful or not, but I found a bug: After I flashed your mod,the sound bar doesn't disappear by itself. I must press the screen and it's annoying especially in landscape videos.. Any fixes? Thx in advance and sorry to disturb you :)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
what have you ticked in aroma installer? always provide any information you can, like which rom, which other mods are installed
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
After a long hiatus, I think it's time I give something back. I will be giving a lot more support to HTC 10 now (late to the club :p).

I will be going in another direction with v29 which is what I've talked about a few posts ago. AcoustiX will only be a HTC BoomSound Dolby modification. That being said, I'm afraid I will have to be dropping support for the M8 (2 years old) and the M7 (3 years old) because they don't have HTC BoomSound with Dolby unless someone's ported it in their ROM (sun.dream ROMs?) but yeah, the base mod along with the alsa stuff and other configs will be gone, leaving only ds1-default.xml modifications.

With that being said, with my new approach also comes with a new rule. I'm sure other soundmod devs will be happy when I announce that everything in my mod is free to use

EXCLUDING DS1-DEFAULT.XML.

I don't care what you do with my other files, just never steal this one or claim it as your own.

v29 is estimated to release this Saturday. This update is mainly targeted towards HTC 10 users, however M9 users might benefit from this as I have remade the ds1-default.xml file with many improvements. Also, remember that every device sounds different, what I hear from the HTC 10 may differ from the M9 so it might sound a bit off. I will include previous ds1-default.xml config from v28 for the M9 users in case they want to swap back.

So to sum up, soundmod will only consist of ds1-default.xml config (modifies HTC BoomSound with Dolby presets/profiles), HTC 10 and M9 only supported now, dropped support for all other phones (unless they have HTC BoomSound with Dolby in the ROM, I may need help listing these devices here) and anyone can use my soundmod files now (credit is optional but highly appreciated)

EXCEPT FOR DS1-DEFAULT.XML, DO NOT USE THIS

.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xXCoolGuYXx:
Okay it was a question no need to be rud .
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:

if you don't see your device under compatibility list, then it is not compatible. easy
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mike Grace:
Thought this was interesting to share HTC10 uses the Qualcomm Aqstic DAC and therefore has a way better sound quality/less noise than the G5 or S7 with sd820

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

The discrete DAC is the Qualcomm Aqstic and it sounds awesome, the best I've ever heard in a phone.

https://www.qualcomm.com/news/snapdr...rd-audiophiles
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Ah man this is where it gets confusing. I thought Qualcomm mentioned Aqstic is in ALL Snapdragon 820 chipsets?

"Every aspect of the Aqstic audio solution is highly integrated in the Snapdragon 820, engineered to provide Hi-Fi audio quality while maintaining great battery life. "

Also, S7 has it as well: https://www.qualcomm.com/news/relea...m-powers-next-generation-samsung-galaxy-note7

I think HTC is using another custom DAC designed by HTC themselves. Aqstic may be the DAC used in speakers and bluetooth, but headphones could be custom designed HTC DAC
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mike Grace:
I think so to can't find any thing about it.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
yeah that's why I got confused. I've only seen an article or two about HTC giving an official statement saying they have a "discrete DAC". I'm guessing it's really discrete they don't want to disclose anymore information to the public :p
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mike Grace:
I want to take the time to say Thank You. I believe you are the only person that is doing a sound MOD for specifically the HTC 10. Looking forward to see what you have to share
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
v29 will be released tomorrow, here's the changelog:

AcoustiX Pro is tuned specifically for HTC Hi Res earphones, imo the earphones weren't designed the best internally and it causes highs to sound compressed, especially when listening to rock, metal etc. AcoustiX Pro aims to make the highs sound significantly less compressed by reducing bass (These earphones have insane amount of bass already!) as well as using my AcoustiX preset curve (i.e. reducing mids for cleaner sound).

AcoustiX Cinematic is a new generation based on PsychoRealism. After a very long time fine tuning and testing, I have optimized this preset further and I can say, it is a lot better than previous gen. This is the closest cinematic-like virtual surround experience you'll ever hear. (My current favourite preset so far).

AcoustiX HiFi preset is another new one, I have retuned Theater mode preset for the speakers. Again, using my AcoustiX preset curve while leaving the bass untouched and maximizing treble (the tweeter/earpiece speaker sounds amazing now!).

AcoustiX Resonance is a new speaker volume boost mod. It is still under experimentation but it has been proven to be working. It uses Peak Limit Boost in Dolby Audio to increase the gain. An alternative method is currently under testing by using Volume Maximizer instead.

Improvements to AcoustiX+ and AcoustiX Lite have also been made.

To clarify more:
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mike Grace:
Sounds very nice. Can't wait. Have question about different acoustiX modes . How can they be changed from one to the other

---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------

I would be more than willing to test v29 if you would be so kind to pm it to me.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
AcoustiX presets are listed in the post above, you can see what boomsound profiles contain the presets.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
I can't wait to try this alongside Viper4Android!
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
never mix two DSP especially dolby and especially tweaked dolby from Zero and V4A
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Oh, I see. Will this have negative effects?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
yes can result in glitchy audio and overprocessing. audio can be ****ed up if done wrong. therefore use only one of them.

so for all

It's not recommended to use more than ONE DSP at a time
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Gotcha. I had no idea that would happen. Thank you for teaching me something new.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] p50kombi:
Not exactly new, if you read the first post you'd know that.. Or the notes in the aroma installer ;)

I miss those days when I get terribly excited when the mod gets updated. Best of luck Zero :highfive:
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] p50kombi:
Then sell your op3
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
yup, never mix V4A, Dolby, or any DSP effects together because they can potentially conflict, overprocess, distort or clip audio. That being said, don't mix soundmods either because files will conflict each other in the system which can result in unexpected behaviour in the OS or audio playback.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mostafa Wael:
If that's gonna guarantee me a 10, I may think about it :p

[MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION] I'm just getting to the party too. Finally gave up the M7 as my daily driver, and getting back into the current Android and Sense custom world. Looks like perfect timing :) Just wanted to say hi to an old friend.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Hell yeah! Welcome back :D good timing because the next version is going in a new direction, but unfortunately it means dropping support for any devices that does not include "HTC BoomSound with Dolby Audio" (m7, m8, older mid range/high end HTC phones etc.)

v29 is dropping sometime tonight! Need to get the OP sorted because I need to redesign this whole thread :)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] CharliesTheMan:
I'm sure it's tough because you're one of the few devs that offered support for such a long chain of devices, but I think it's a worthwhile sacrifice, at least for the M7 development had dropped off to the point that finding the best EOL type setup and leaving it alone after that was about the best we could do.

Now that I've had some time with the M10, I don't know how I waited so long to upgrade. I forgot what flagship performance feels like lol.

Looking forward to trying out your latest work.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
v29 RELEASED!

I would like to apologize again for dropping support for older devices, with this new direction, I'm afraid the only devices that works with this sound mod are the HTC devices with HTC BoomSound with Dolby Audio in them.

This mod will be utterly useless for other devices because BoomSound settings are only found in newer HTC Sense ROMs from the HTC One M9, the file is only loaded via BoomSound settings.
