Whoops! I didn't update that hahaha, thanks for the heads up!

If you've read the first 3 posts, you should know where to find settings for audio/how to use this mod. Also, judging by your status bar (looks like aosp), you should know what rom is supported.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mcwups1:
No. I'm on Bad Boyz Sprint Sense ROM.

We can't run AOSP unless we flash different firmware.

I did read, like I said, the first 3 posts.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Oh my bad then, but really, the first post tells you how to use the mod/what this mod does so you should have no trouble using this.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mcwups1:
Right, but there are no other settings in "BoomSound Settings", is my point.

Where do I find these settings, because they don't exist when I play music with headphones.

---------- Post added at 12:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 AM ----------

This is all I see.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Common sense. Do you know how to change headphone profiles in boomsound settings?

Come on man, no one is having this much trouble as you.

1) plug in headphones

2) go in settings

3) press on boomsound in settings menu

4) press Dolby headphone effects

5) change headphone profile as the OP says

Was it so hard? I didn't think I needed to mention going into Dolby headphone effects because it seems like every other users know how to do this without me explaining it.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mcwups1:
I'll figure it out.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
there is nothing to figure out, just tap on htc boomsound, then the presets! ... that's the easiest thing on earth
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mcwups1:
Great, thanks.

When you f*** up, by not updating the OP, and treat people like s*** thanks to a message board culture, and I give details and look for a little help due to outdated info on the OP, it deters from possible donations.

I don't care for the mod.

Thanks.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Hey, if you don't like my tone because you can't do something so simple, please refer to this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16682226

Thanks.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
... it's common sense, that if it's written that you have to choose one of the presets to use the mod, that it refers to the htc boomsound with dolby audio presets...and it's common sense and normally known to every htc user, that you can access it by tapping on the htc boomsound option in settings.

so yea okay, we don't care for ppl like you, who just keep not reading or using their brain and think about such things.. goodbye :)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mcwups1:
Yeah, keep reading that thread, and divert yourself to the original rules of XDA, especially 2.3 and 2.5.

I did read, Einstein. That's why we're having this conversation, because the OP wasn't updated.

I found out how to access them on my own.

Nice to disrespect people without threat of personal interaction.

Even better when you have to go through it with Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, who ignore the fact they were wrong in the first place.

Go hate someone else you are annoying nothing more
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mike Grace:
Just Wondering!!! :confused::confused::confused: When you found out how to use the presets as mentioned above was it the same instructions that they have been mentioned numerous times.

Hi bro can i use this sound mod on Viper10 ? If i flash it and doesn't hear sounds ! Can i revert to previous stock sound mod ?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xunholyx:
Yes, it works with Viper 10

If you want to revert back you have two options (maybe more, but I'll give you two).

#1: Make a backup in TWRP of system only. You can restore that to get back to stock (or whatever you have now) audio. It's a small backup and restores quickly.

#2 Dirty flash the ROM. It isn't as quick as restoring a system backup, but it will restore the stock audio files.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
To revert back to stock sound, you can replace ds1-default.xml in system/vendor/etc/dolby with the stock file in your rom.

My mod shouldn't break any audio, it only replaces one file. 100% certain it will not break audio.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jhadsfi:
Hi. I installed this mod on my HTC 10 and I noticed soft hissing sounds and the bass felt too high leading to distortion. I'm using the hi res earphones that come with the phone. Tried all 4 profiles. Did I do something wrong? Also the OP mentions HTC earphones profile but I cannot find it. Can anyone help? Thanks.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
An other mods installed? Which rom?

Actually htc earphones = htc ear buds

Tried with disabled boomsound? Also PAP ( personal audio profile) disabled?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
I'm afraid the trade-off for these profiles are more noticeable noise. Especially if you have inferior earphones/headphones (actually, earphones have most noise due to lower impedance). I can't tune these profiles for all audio devices because everyone's different so it is impossible. HTC Hi Res earphones are actually utter sh!t imo, of course there will be a lot of noise on that one. I have tuned the best I could for it, I cannot do much further I'm afraid because HTC made a failed design by shoving in a diaphragm that's capable of 40kHz+ into tiny generic 13mm drivers which results in compressed highs. The bass on these earphones are overpowered.

Also, I seem to have made another mistake! thanks for bringing to my attention, when I say HTC earphones I mean HTC earbuds, sorry :)

but yeah, if none of them fit you then I'm afraid the mod isn't for you unless you get better earphones/headphones.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jhadsfi:
Haha thanks for responding. Yeah I know the headphones are not very good. I'll try it with another hi impedance pair I have lying around. Probably will work better on those. The in built profile maker produces fairly good results with the HTC earphones. The speakers sound better with the mod though. Thanks for helping.

---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------

Maximus HD. No other sound mods. Is it possible to disable boomsound and still use this mod?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
This mod only modifies Dolby (aka BoomSound), so disabling BoomSound will render this mod completely useless.

Also, I suggest you try and find higher impedance headphones/earphones (imo my recommendation is headphones with at least 40mm drivers and higher impedance of at least 30 - 60 Ohms).
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jhadsfi:
Thanks again. What are your opinions on dolby atmos BTW? Axon 7(?) was ranked as having better sound than HTC 10 so do you think it produces better results?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Khixar27:
I wouls like to return to stock audio mod i dont have system backup im stock rooted how do i restore to stock audio without mod?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
I have literally mentioned how to return to stock audio in another post at the top of the page. Please search before asking next time.

I can upload the stock file if you don't have a back up of that either.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Khixar27:
hey bro soorry to disturb

yes i read that post but i was still confused

and please upload the stock file i dont have any

it kind gives a little noise on loud volume so thats why im reverting !

[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] GorranKurd:
Thank you guys [MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION] for your replays i flashed the Mod and it works perfectly the sounds not so clear but i think is louder than the Stock sounds.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] macschwag14:
Does anyone know why there's an underlying static whenever the profiles are active? The Other profile has the least. It's completely gone if I turn BoomSound off. I'm listening with RHA MA750i earbuds.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] LibertyMonger:
This mod is working great for me using my old HTC One M9 earbuds. Not much of an enthusiast like most seem here but I can definitely tell a difference. I have never had sound so loud. The HTC 10 absolutely kills it in audio, I don't care what the Samsung fanboy's try to say lol. Not getting the distortion I am seeing others having. Thanks for your work it is much appreciated.

Mine gets a little distorted when it is cranked all the way up but it goes up so much it is unbearable at that level anyway.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Yes. Again, I have talked about this in previous posts at the top of the page before...

If you don't like the noise, don't use the mod. There's literally nothing i can do about the noise for HTC BoomSound Dolby, believe me I've spent the last year trying from the m9. Use an alternative Dolby like Dolby Atmos mod somewhere on XDA which produces a lot less noise but without my profiles.

HTC BoomSound with Dolby, for some reason, produces way too much noise when Dolby technologies are used. In stock HTC audio, they don't do sh!t with boomsound and all of their default profiles are nothing but pathetic EQs (especially Others profile, that's just a small gain on all frequency bands).

Dolby Atmos mods produces a lot less noise then HTC, probably because it's a more updated version of Dolby compared to HTC's Dolby.

If I were to reduce noise completely, it would mean turning off all surround sound technologies in Dolby and reducing audio gain to very low. That's not what my mod is intended for.

Bottom line is, this mod is to make Dolby sound a lot better. It is impossible to tune for every single audio device out there, so if they sound bad to you then don't use it

To everyone else: FYI these presets are tuned on Sony MDR1-RNC. AcoustiX Pro was tuned on HTC Hi Res earphones. AcoustiX Lite was tuned on Apple Earpods + old generation black/red HTC earphones.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Couldn't we just decrease analog gain and increase digital gain a bit with a custom kernel such as Nebula kernel?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kyuubi10:
That would reduce noise, but increase peaking distortion and possibility of clipping.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
What Kyuubi10 said, increasing digital gain can distort, clip, lower audio quality etc.

There's not much to be done, and I have already spent a whole year trying to reduce it. On the m9 it was much worse.

However, I wonder if lowering voltage for the headphone jack or even the headphone amplifier could affect the amount of static noise. I've never tried it before.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Never knew about that. Thank you!
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kyuubi10:
With the HTC 10 it seems that the cause for distortion is not electrical interference, therefore lowering analog gain would also do no help.

The distortion is coming from HTC's digital processing, rather than analogue amplification...not exactly sure where, maybe that's something [MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION] could have a look at...since he knows the system much better than anyone else.

In the meantime what you could do is use a software audio mod to improve your sound.

By reducing the native digital gain (Using the kernel method you suggested) you are reducing the noise caused by HTC's digital processing, then use the software mod to boost the digital gain with less distortion.

I'd suggest using AM3D mod by ahrion, since it will not conflict with Zero's Dolby mod.

Avoid Dolby Atmos, it will conflict with HTC's Dolby.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Definitely has something to do with HTC's digital processing. I'm not sure if they are using a custom made Dolby or a generic Dolby, however it still uses ds1-default.xml. The newer Dolby Atmos based on DAX configs have much less noise than HTC's Dolby. No idea what HTC has done but it's been like this since the M9, the situation is better on the HTC 10 due to better DAC but it's still there and I've spent a year already looking into this problem.

I can't do much unless I turn down digital gain, remove any Dolby tech volume boosters (volume maximizer or peak limit boost), or even turn off most Dolby tech like Dolby Headphone Surround, Dialogue Enhancer, or even NextGen Surround.

While I agree it's annoying, I've gotten used to the static noise in the background. It shouldn't be that noticeable during louder parts of music (if you have bad earphones/headphones that makes it worse), it should only happen during quiet parts.

If analogue gain is not the cause for noise, maybe we could boost analogue and significantly decrease digital. I have not dealt with volume controls before so I'm going to be new in this area of android audio.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
I had to post this to a new post. Well, this is embarrassing.

After some trial and error today, I have found the culprit I never could find within the past year.

Short story: Dolby Volume Modeler is the cause.

Long story: Dolby Volume Modeler Enable (config control: dvme) is the major factor for causing noise. Back in the early days of discovering Dolby and making it work on my M7, I fiddled around and found out what these config controls do. I came across one called dvme. I must have been deaf because I had no idea how much it affected audio until now. I have been using dvme in ALL of my profiles (except speakers) as a standard now which is probably why I never noticed it.

The description of dvme reads:

My being stupid in my early days, I disregarded the warning. Now I know why I should have never enabled dvme.

Here is another problem: disabling dvme means I need to retune ALL PROFILES again. Turning this feature off now decreased A LOT of bass.

I can only say this: Dolby Atmos handled dvme better with less noise than HTC Dolby.

I'd like to apologize for this whole mess I've caused and never realised it until now. My profiles could've been a lot better if it wasn't for dvme. Now that I've started University, I'm afraid audio development will have to be at a slower pace. Even more hard work needs to be done retuning everything from scratch again which is very annoying. At the moment I can't do anything about it now because I need to install Dolby Atmos to tune the EQ with the UI (more accurate this way) which I will need to find time for (possibly this weekend).
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kyuubi10:
Dude, don't stress it :)

It wasn't your fault... HTC should have never included such a disfunctional feature in the first place!

By improving on stock sound you are accomplishing your goal, now by discovering this and improving on your previous design you are not correcting your own error... But rather you are improving your design even further.

This being said... You are not alone. That's what the community is for. If you need help you could have more people involved in the project.

I wish you all the best at uni!
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Thanks man. I suppose I can't blame HTC for this either as it was a Dolby control for all (fairly) recent Dolby Mobile apps (Atmos, Digital Plus, etc.). I guess I experimented too much that I forgot this particular config setting was causing abnormal noise levels and intense bass gain.

Will be doing my presets again a bit at a time, hopefully get it done by the end of October/early November.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kyuubi10:
Dude, just running an idea by...

To help you save time, why dont you add ports from other phones in order to achieve desired effect. (example: adding HK clari-fi from M8 HK edition)

Rather than working on the sound manually by tuning the eq, you can achieve a desired sound by adding sound effects from other ports.

Then you can spend a smaller amount of time actually fine tuning the ds1 file.

What do you think? Would that help?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
It doesn't work like that. You can't just add random libs and files and assume it works. That's not how sound modding works. I see many people do it, disregarding the fact that proper ports are needed and not, how I like to say, "bloat the f*ck out of the system and assume it works".Take a look at [MENTION=5357345]ahrion[/MENTION] Dolby Atmos ports and [MENTION=6366997]UltraM8[/MENTION] sound mod. They are one of the few audio devs I see not bloating the **** out of their mods, only using the necessary files and confident they are needed (fyi not bashing other sound mod devs, just clarifying).

Besides, I'm sticking with my mod plan to just edit the config, avoiding bloat is one of the main reasons why I chose this new path of sound modding.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] p50kombi:
It takes a real man to admit when he made an error.

Kudos my man, and take your time.

I've mentioned many a time in our private conversations that your education and private life is a heck of a lot more important than xda.

Do it when you enjoy doing it and when it's fun. When it becomes a chore or stress, leave it and don't worry.

Take care of your future, there will be many different phones but there's only one of you...

[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
H/K is based on SRS? since when WTF? but they are two completely different audio technologies... message me on telegram if [MENTION=5060769]Mostafa Wael[/MENTION] told you already :p
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] p50kombi:
Where are you guys finding this?

I searched my head off for a hk 10 version.

Any link so I can just read up on it?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
update: Already started working on headphone presets. AcoustiX+ sounds like crap still but on the bright side, AcoustiX Cinematic is back sounding not too far off from what it sounded like before. JUST WITH A LOT LESS NOISE NOW! (maybe slightly less bass but still significant enough)

Will be tuning earphones shortly but may take more time.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] UltraM8:
Well, since m8, HK's livestage is totally based on it;) Sony's technologies (x Performance flinger FE), Beats (maybe other) - are using SRS as the base.

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

Yep, sry bro, Sun_dream didn't make a port for 10 & the libs might not work. But, you can check ROM thread for m9, download sundreams rom, take lib (don't forget to leave all policy&HW folder files stock to 10) folder, bin & audio effects files - maybe it will work (i still thing it won't)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Might not work for me either as I'm on the 10 as well since about a month ago... but we'll see :D I'll be on telegram if you need me!
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kyuubi10:
See? I know what I'm talking about :P

I agree with you regarding bloat and placebo effect... I just find that HTC Dolby needs a bit more clarity :)

I will be testing AcoustiX this week, and will be adding Ainur close after.

Really looking forward to it :)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] UltraM8:
This (HK) port was maybe by a guy who really knows how to do closed ARM porting - this means that all other ports are made by noobs & are NOT working. Dolby IMHO is the worst audio tehnology)))
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
yup, only believe it if it's a proper port and not just some bloat-filled zip :p (you can usually tell if there's a f*ckload of libs/files in one port).

Dolby can have more clarity already using the EQ, but I can't tune for every audio device because they're all different. Also remember that mixing DSPs is never a good idea (distortions, glitches, clipping, unexpected behaviour etc.) even if it's H/K + Dolby.

Depending on what profile you're using, the profile with most clarity already is AcoustiX Lite at the cost of lower bass (it is tuned for earphones anyway so bass should still be substantial, not so much on headphones). But don't worry, now that I've disabled dvme, everything should sound a lot better!

coming from a virtual surround sound addict, I've only used SRS/DTS, Dolby Atmos/Digital Plus, and MaxxAudio before. Out of those 3, my favourite is Dolby Atmos due to, imo, most accurate/effective recreational surround sound technology.

Out of every single audio technology out there though, my dream will be having DTS Headphone:X successfully ported universally (talking about proper port :p)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] macschwag14:
[MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION] I feel like I reignited a headache for you with my post. I apologize for doing so. I bought the earbuds used and haven't had them long, so I was mostly questioning whether they were defective because I couldn't hear static with my other headphones and earbuds.

For what it's worth, I love your mod and still have difficulty choosing which is my preferred overall audio profile because they are all outstanding. Even with the static, listening to music on my HTC 10 with AcoustiX is a treat, and one that I felt like was lacking with the stock sound mod and V4A. It's exciting to hear that you've isolated the problem and have started work again, but no rush on the new profiles! Enjoy university!
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
It's all cool man, it was my fault that I didn't realize what was causing it because I was fully aware of the significant amount of static noise that's been in my profile ever since the M9 :) These new profiles will definitely sound a lot better without the noise, it's decreased so much that it is as low noise as when not using BoomSound! (there may be still a very small amount noticeable noise in low impedance devices but not enough to annoy you).

University hasn't become intense yet, currently doing tutorials and stuff (I'm studying undergraduate Software Engineering :p) so I will have enough time to get a new update out fairly soon!
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kyuubi10:
Cool :)

Regarding Dolby though, i'd say thts a matter of opinion.

And in my opinion i'd say they are not bad, not great either... Just over hyped/overestimated just like Beats by Dre.

Although, i prefer Dolby Atmos over V4A...

On that note, what's your opinion regarding AM3D vs Dolby Atmos?

Hehe, let's just say i do my research :)

And, well... I'd have to disagree, simply raising treble is not enough for clarity IMO, other people may disagree with me but proper clarity takes a bit more skill/processing.

V4A does it beautifully with spectrum extension plus viper clarity... But i dont like V4A's overall sound signature.

Back on my M8 Clari-fi by H/K was a really good alternative solution.

And regarding mixing 2 DSPs, yes it can cause distortion... But it can be avoided :)

Just don't double up on effects, make sure to use separate effects from the 2 DSPs which don't overlap. (e.g. Don't activate both Dolby compression, and H/K compression. It's either one or the other.)

I like HTC Dolby's bassboost, and i like H/K clari-fi... Those shouldn't overlap, therefore shouldn't cause any issues.

You are the expert, and it's your sound mod at the end of the day...so it would be up to you to set them up according to your vision of what the mod should sound like :)

Just gotta be smart.
