Thank you so much for your help, I don't have time to try v5.3, because I need to have my Z3C working in these days, I don't have time to resolve any kind of possible problem.

When I can try it, I will tell you immediately. ;)

For the Sony package you said me that you didn't recommend the Sony™ package because you've incorporated that libeffectproxy to work with the other Sony™ libraries and effects, but in every case I will delete that file to work for my strange smartphone, so theoretically if I delete those 3 file from Sony Beats Edition, I will obtain a fully working only Beats edition that you've created for me.

I compared the two packages (only Beats Edition and Sony Beats Edition) and I saw that the only things that change are only those 3 files that in my only Beats edition doesn't have. Also I saw that libsonypostprocbundle.so and libsonysweffect.so files that I found in Sony Beats Edition package have the same size of those that I have in my stock ROM. It is normal?

I really appreciate your help and the time that you've lost for me! :highfive:

Regards
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Absolutely man! If I remember right, you were having issues with the included libeffectproxy file. There are four sound libraries in the Sony™ builds counting its libeffectproxy which is 5.14kb. The Sony™ builds also contain all the necessary audio_effects.conf entries bit shouldn't pose an issue with this libraries not on your phone. You might compare the MD5 of the two files matching the stock ones on your phone.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] sheldon91:
I don't have any experience with this stuff, if I can send you my files, can you check it for me and find why my Z3C is so strange? If yes, say me what files do you need!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Of course man! Your entire /system/lib folder and your audio_effects.conf files will do. :good:

I hate to report that I'm still getting pops & clicks with the latest version of Elite. I'm running the interactive governor set at a minimum of 422. I wonder if some of the options of Viper|Atmos just don't play nice with each other when turned on at the same time. Especially, the surround virtualizer of Atmos & Convolver + DDC of Viper.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Very possible, my Audiophile™ profile uses a minimum of active features, even FIREqualizer is disabled. I'd try disabling that first. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] darkstar73:
I was using the All Natural effect profile when I got the pops. I changed it to version 2 of your profile and they went away. I think having too many options turned on over processes the signal.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] sheldon91:
In this moment I have 4.3 only Beats edition flashed, is the same? or do you need a stock files? and if do you need the stock files, how can I extract these from TWRP backup, I can't restore it now.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] papikev:
I know I am missing something obvious here, but I have Viper/Atmos installed and it is working, however it did not created ViPER4Android/Kernel folder in storage. I remember from the past on v4a (I've been away for awhile) it automatically created the folder (if I remember correctly). Whats the obvious I'm missing here. I want to push some irs profiles and get it hooked up. Thanks guys.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] NotATreoFan:
Just create the folder yourself and it will see the profiles you put in there.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Woody:
I don't run that kernel, but I do run ElementalX which doesn't have Faux included (at least for the Shamu build). I followed [MENTION=5964313]wrongway213[/MENTION]'s advice and upped my min to 422 and listened to music all morning. Once I had a control, I started messing around in the ElX app. I found that if I disabled the gboost option, I would get crackling. If I enabled it, I wouldn't get cracking but my frequencies wouldn't lower under the gboost threshold(1497). So, I lowered it to 422 as well, leaving my touchboost at 1497 (for a snappier screen transition) and screen off freq at 1190/1036. All is fine and I have been listening to music all afternoon without crackling. Furthermore, I adjusted my gboost to the above and lowered my global frequency back to 300 and still no cracking. Tells me that gboost is causing something to go awry.

*******************

Side question: Anyone run this with their N7(13) and have tested whether or not they can cast? I have flashed the following versions 4.4, 4.5.1, 5.2.1 and 5.3 (all sans Atmos) and all 4 break casting on the N7. I've clean flashed mine and my wife's tablets over the weekend and the only variance between were I flashed Viper on mine (each version and after a re-clean flash). In each case, I was able to cast from hers and not from mine. This was a problem in the N5 days and LP, as well as for the N7 during the same time but it was resolved. I'll have to dig in the N5 thread to see where is was solved and by what means. Just wondering if anyone else can see this. I don't cast very often, but this weekend I wanted to show my boys something on the big screen and couldn't.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
It certainly does. :good:

If everything is working OK, then no worries. I'd be interested in stock files. :good:

Be sure Storage Permissions are granted in v4a's App Info page.

Thanks for that informative report! I wonder if deep buffer is required for casting. You might try pulling your stock /system/etc/audio_policy.conf out of a rom zip and copying it over the current one. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] papikev:
Nah, had already done the things [MENTION=320479]NotATreoFan[/MENTION], [MENTION=2921997]dingermtb[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] mentioned all to no avail. No worries guys, I'll figure it out. Just for info sake, I'm running the latest DU test build with the latest elite kernel. I'll probably flash another rom tonight and see if I get different results, although I doubt that is the issue.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] smartpr1v4t3:
I only wanna report, i use v4a atmos sony beats version on my lg g2 and it is working fine without any problem. Thanks :D

I only have the "problem" that it is really draining much battery when atmos or v4a is enabled on phone speakers, but i think this is normal because high quality ;)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You're absolutely correct, if you don't benefit much from the speaker processing, I'd disable Convolver. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] deebray36:
by doing what you suggested in original op:

Open /system/etc/audio_policy.conf in text editor

Add 44100 to voice_rx

Add 48000 to a2dp

Save changes

Reboot

and using your profile in original op has made all popping sounds disappear..i think the problem for me was the pure bass+ in bass mode so switched it to natural and switched clarity mode to natural from xhifi and it sounds great...thanks for all your work :D

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] darkstar73:
I keep the Bass & Clarity setting on Natural. I will try the fix from the link you posted and see what happens. I still think the issue with pops & clicks have to do with too many options being turned on. They have happened to me across numerous kernels, even stock.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abeloman:
Hi [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] it's me again... I'm still having the pause issue... I'm afraid I will remove those lines you added on latest builds; I don't know if this is the cause, but this is my last bullet... If this doesn't work, I'll try downgrade to 4.5 version, do you still have it? Or where could I find it?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] viddy1355:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] does the xtreme music mod work with atmos Sony beats
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I was wondering how things went for you since yesterday. Try deleting all remaining lines. You can then find all my old builds at my AndroidFileHost link. :good:

You can find XM 7.0.3 ViPER|Atmos™ Edition at my AndroidFileHost link in the Side Projects folder. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] johnb380:
Can I ask what the extreme music 7.0.3 Viper atmos edition does and what version of Viper is in it? Also is it for any phone or is it just for a certain one? Is it just a music player or...? Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Of course!

XM is likely the biggest sound mod, library and effect wise, and some compatibility issues obviously result from that but chances are still greater for compatibility than incompatibility. The only things missing from it than what are found here are:

Dolby Atmos™

Preinstalled ViPER4Android Super Quality Driver

Deep Buffer remover

Supolicy script for full v4a functionality with Enforcing Selinux

As you can see, my updates rarely warrant updates to already finished Side Projects unless the sound mod being injected is updated. I could update the v4a app and driver but I see that as a downgrade personally, as the new apk with its only available driver is not quite as powerful and allows no variation which the different drivers of the previous apk provide. Furthermore, I carefully select libraries and effects to include that are freely shared here at XDA so nothing groundbreaking in that respect. What sets ViPER|Audio™ apart is the seamless installation, whether rooted or unrooted, compatibility with both Selinux environments, full respect to stock device files, especially the audio_effects.conf files, no workarounds or deletion of device files required for Nexus 6p, 5x, 9, and HTC devices, backup scripts restoring every single file and patched entries, and the best personal support without a doubt. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] johnb380:
Thanks alot for the detailed description my friend! You are awesome. I may have to give it a try next time I flash a nightly!

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] Hey bud. Thanks again for your work. I flashed tupacs ROM with your vipermod, and Elite kernel this morning. All is working. Is there anything else you recommend? Should I root and install a kernel auditor app? Was trying to not root for now to see the possibilities. Should I leave the Elite kernel as is or do the governor's need changed? Thanks again man!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
I'm getting great battery life with the new elite. Rooting would depend on your needs. There's really no need to change settings on the kernel governor, most people use the regular settings.. What would you like to use root for?

I have xposed and other apps that require root so it's a must for me
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ZionFreak:
I thought I saw that someone said you needed to change the governor of which I'd prefer the auditor app but you need root. My battery life has been good so far as well. Guess I don't need root then. There are 2 mods in xposed I could use though; YouTube playback with screen off is one but I can live without it. How's the sound mod working for you? I was pretty amazed by if when I first hit the Dolby button. Thanks for replying bro. [emoji3]

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] good and bad news over here... First, seems that pause issue has gone; second, I don't know what solved haha...

I deleted the lines you've included in latest builds, and didn't reboot; after that I changed my CPU governor and reboot... I used kernel adiutor to edit build.prop (big mistake) and the phone didn't boot up... So I had to reflash my system and currently I don't know what fixed xD

I'll think I would get back to interactive governor and see how it goes tomorrow... Anyway, I hope the problem doesn't occur again
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] storytellerz:
Hi, is there any script to remove the built-in AudioFX in custom ROM?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Just for clarity's sake, the latest Elite kernel is already included in the latest 1.3 upload. You can absolutely root it all you want as that is certainly required for Kernel Adiutor. :good:

Your issue is so unique, I'm betting re-adding those lines wouldn't bring that issue with them. :good:

I remain firm to not delete stock files from your device that is easily done on the user end. I always recommend disabling first and deleting last so find it in your settings to disable first of you haven't. If you want to completely remove it, it is usually in /system/app or /system/priv-app. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
The time I've seen someone talk about kernel governor was regarding the static using viper and switching to on demand but then there was a new method that involved changing the frequency to eliminate the static because on demand setting is not good for battery life. I haven't been able to test the sound mod yet, glad you're enjoying it though. The difference allows you to really enjoy your music.

I use ogyoutube which is a must for me and it's easier with xposed.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
The stock minimum on that kernel is 1497, I believe.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Publiuss:
Hi

I came from here, i wanted to install last V4A as system app.

I flashed ViPERAudio 5.3 Stock.zip, wiped Art cache as suggested at after reboot I don't see anything about V4A!

But can find VIPER4AndroidFX-2.4.0.1 in /system/priv-app with correct owner (root:root).

What's wrong?

Blisspop 4.0.3 based on Android 5.1.1, Samsung SGS 2 plus.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Hey man! That's common with different apk's, you could try flashing a second time or try moving that folder out of /system/priv-app and into your /sdcard and reboot. Then move the folder back to /system/priv-app and set permissions before rebooting again. The previous v4a apk from your previous installation is gone, right?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] storytellerz:
V4.3 Vs V5.6, which one better? Apart from that, what's the difference between stock, audiophile, and Sony beats version?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I hate these kind of replies to user questions, but honestly, the top portion of the OP explains the different versions perfectly. As far as 4.6 vs. 5.3, I feel 4.6 is the clear winner. I have yet to see a report of the new v4a apk sounding better than the previous apk. ViPER|Atmos™ 4.6 Sony™ Beats™ is the fan favorite and contains all that is offered and should not leave you desiring more. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] NotATreoFan:
Hands down, 4.6 is better! Reverted to 2.3.4.0 and the sound difference is borderline ridiculous.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No doubt about it. That's what happens when everyone screams, "More battery!" I love that sign you see in tattoo shops: "Good tattoos ain't cheap, cheap tattoos ain't good!" :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] johnp357:
this didn't work for me. I tried everything. the only thing that guarantees to stop the crackling sound is is to disable the Viper4Android. no andjustments in the min frequency on the kernel worked. permissive didn't change it. clean install several times. anybody have any new ideas on how to make this stop?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] johnp357:
currently it's at natural and 6db. but just so you know, I went down the list and enabled and disabled all the individual setting options on viper and none of it seemed to matter except when the main one is turned off. only then did the crackling disappeared. I'm on chroma/systemless if that matters.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Have you tried toggling Convolver?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] johnp357:
yes. I literally went up and down the checklist of all options in expert UI. and none of it mattered except for the main one being off.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Faux Sound included in your kernel?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] HiM@L:
same issue here in my nexus 5 with elementalX kernel....and it does have faux sound....only disabling V4A stops cracklings

UPDATE:

this is a copy paste statement from elemental kernel developer.....i have no knowledge abt these but does it make sense...hope it can be resolved soon:

"It's not fauxsound. I can't make that any clearer. Faux sound is simply a sysfs interface to change the hardware gain controls. Nothing special going on at all and it causes no conflict with V4A.

V4A adds a bunch of extra processing, which requires computing power, but not quite enough to make the CPU governor increase. If the CPU can't keep up, there are audio glitches. This is guaranteed to be fixed by using ondemand governor (which ramps up very easily). If the problem persists, it is something else (perhaps your gain is too high and you're hearing distortion from it being overdriven)."
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] johnp357:
not sure TBH. I used the stock kernel with Chroma and then changed it to Elemental just to adjust the min freq as suggested by one of the help articles. none of which helped. I just looked at the elemental settings and couldn't really see if Faux Sound is in there. If so, none was selected unless it was default. I changed the settings to permissive an min freq > 300 that was about it.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I strongly recommend a kernel without Faux Sound. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
The stock min frequency is a lot higher than that.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Woody:
After testing for 2 days now on ElementalX and Pure Nexus I have no popping or cracking at all. Running 5.2.1Viper (no Atmos), permissive kernel setting, full list of "enhancements" ticked or marked in Viper. For me, the issue was with the gboost in ElX. Tweak that down and it worked perfectly.

See attached
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] johnp357:
Chroma had a stock google kernel in it. but it was the problem with the crackling that made me move to elementalx. the changes apparently did not have any improvements.

---------- Post added at 11:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

this didn't work for me... have you tried chroma? I had my 6P on pure nexus before but I needed android pay so I switched to chroma and systemless root. (android pay works on chroma to this day) I don't recall having this crackling issue before so maybe one of the vendor image changes caused it but I can't be sure of anything right now except that it currently doesn't work properly.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Is Chroma's kernel truly stock and untouched?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] NotATreoFan:
Funny you mention the tattoo bit. Just had that conversation with my cousin and his wife, both of them looking to get their next one done and asking for recommendations on places to go. I recommended the place I went for my one and only (so far), but they jumped on me for it being so expensive. I waited almost 5 years before actually getting it done, and even then went to someone that multiple friends had been to and I could see the quality of her work. At the end of the day, or 2 hours to be exact, it was a very well spent $300.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
4.6 on 6p, DU, EX Enforcing, BBE irs, bass and clarity on, Atmos open with surround on. No crackles on Bluetooth, buds, or speaker.

Only thing I noticed is v4a is no longer themed (I use Material Faded), was red accented previous, now blue (probably default).
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lynnux:
Strange, I'm doing fine on ElementalX kernel, and the only thing I changed from default settings is boosting the minimum frequency to 422. I can have virtualizer going in Atmos, plus Firequalizer and other settings ticked in V4A, no problems. N5.

A good way to check for functionality is to begin audio playback through Play Music, then open v4a and disable and then enable v4a at the very top of the outblout tab. And you can delete the zips if you want to, just don't touch /system or /data. :good:
