Loud crackling sound while notification or call comes in

Hi folx, hi [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] ,

First of all i'm a big fan of your work :D and i follow your posts around Viper4Android for a while now. Therefore i have to ask myself when do you guy sleep ;)

Lately i experienced the above mentioned problem. If a call or a notification arives there is a loud crackingsound before the linked sound was played. Never experienced it before - So i have some assumptions, but at the moment my time is a little limited to proceed some tests, if time comes i try:

The additional Beats / Huawei files cause this problem

It's an audiofocus problem

or the ogg files for the notificationssounds have a non fitting format

The last one could not be valid due tot the fact that it is played.

To test if the additonial are the problem i have to install a version without these files, but i have to remove all aditional files manually or restore an old backup of system-partition.

But first i try to patch audio_police.conf with your proposed adjustment.

Are there any other tipps around ? I haven't found any proposals concerning my problem...

THX in advance

Rhonin

Beats Huawei question...

So I have flashed the Viper|Atmos 3.7 Beats Huawei version and everything seems to be working beautifully.

I am familiarizing myself with all the obvious Viper settings in its app and likewise those in the Atmos app. I see the Audiophile profile and the DFX impulse files and have those available. I am curious, though, how do the Beats and Huawei files manifest their functions? I see no apps or settings pages for them. Are they just loaded and working in the background making everything better somehow?

Pardon me if this question is answered here elsewhere already.

I believe the ElementalX kernel boosts the audio output. I would try a Kernel that does not boost the audio output as well as not having Faux Sound included.

Error in TWRP? I'm willing to help you achieve a complete installation whenever you're ready to try again.

Thank you very much!

You might try a kernel without audio boost or Faux Sound if your current kernel contains either.

After 6.0, I could not achieve a complete installation to my standards and had to abandon it to avoid confusion and issues with his users. I'll be more than happy to create a build with 7.0.3 if you would like. Just let me know if you want Dolby Atmos™ as part of the package or not. I'll be working most of the day and will have a build just for you sometime this evening (-06:00 Central Standard Time).

Beats™ and Huawei™ processing is called into action by audio_effects.conf.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Try a Kernel without audio boost and/or Faux Sound. If using Dolby Atmos™, be sure Sourround Virtualizer and Volume Leveler are both turned off.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] cink40:
Well, for me problem is V4a. When i turn v4a off crackling stops. Athos is still on.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Which audio output and which settings are enabled in that output tab causing this issue for you?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] cink40:
I think i tried on and off all of them. Nothing helped till i powered off v4a...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Rhonin86:
Sry - though i haven't unlocked my bootloader i'm not able to use another kernel atm.

I'm not sure if this stock-kernel is able to handle init.d scripts - will investigate so maybe i can deactivate your mentioned kernel properties...

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] been following this thread for a few weeks and I just wanted to say that you are the standard when it comes to being a developer here. I've never seen an OP go above and beyond to help users, all the while keeping such a positive vibe. Phenomenal work with V4A but even better is ur awesome attitude. Thanks much for your hard work dude.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thank you so much for such a high praise! Your comments truly mean a lot to me and make this an even more enjoyable experience for me. I've always believed that one's attitude can be contagious and I never forget that I was once a new member overwhelmed with all the information and content XDA provides. You will never read a response from me saying, "Search the thread" or "That's already been answered a hundred times" as I know your time is valuable and I am privileged just to get a little piece of that time. I've seen so many threads and users to the contrary and I swore that if I was ever in charge of a thread then it would be my mission to make it the most informative and pleasant experience for all who choose to participate.

You previously helped me get this setup by having me delete viper folders in data/app. I'm trying to do this again, but it will not let me delete anything.

There are no viper files in root/data/app

On my internal memory, there is a 3 meg folder. I cannot delete this:

Delete any folder with viper in the name in /data/app

Mount > uncheck System

Install > rom zip

Check for sufficient free space in /system

Seconding Koudies' praise here.

I'm a longtime member of XDA and probably fall between a noobie and skilled user. In general I do a pretty good job at doing a little research, some searching, etal. Sometimes though - things are just confusing and there can be so much 'noise' in these threads - that you just need to ask a basic question to get on track. Also, the search capabilities in XDA aren't great - if you know exactly what you are looking for they are fine but if you need to do a contextual search - pretty rough. Pouring through a list of search results is like searching through a needle in a haystack.

In some of the other forums I participate in the responses to what are perceived as stupid questions or someone being 'lazy' - are downright nasty, don't those responders know they are only embarrassing themselves? Certainly there are participants who don't deserve much help (they've done zero research and/or don't have the capabilities to be modding their device)... and if that really gets under your skin, JUST IGNORE THEM. But if you have enough time to rip them apart, you had enough time to point them to some help or kindly tell them they aren't ready to do mods or whatever.... or send them a PM! Getting nasty... just no time for it. The nasty replies are more harmful than the lazy and/or ignorant questions. In one forum in particular - I've become afraid to ask a question because some dev may decide I'm an idiot and rip me a new one.

So we should shine a light on this forum, and hold it up as a model for others to follow. That said - Guitardehero goes WAY above and beyond the highest of expectations - but it is highly appreciated and needs to be acknowledged!

I'm getting the same problems as the guy from a few pages back. Did a full clean flash today, dolby still seems to not work. V4A works whilst in compatibility mode, but when checking driver, says it's not enabled. On S6 with permissive linux, root etc

I flashed the latest 3.7 zip on my 6p and I have everything working except the audiophile profile is not in viper. I followed the steps in the OP, but I must be doing something wrong.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
Audio profile is not included in that zip. I am also on a 6p so go back 18 hours or so and look for the 37ap version. Or, you can Manually download and extract and copy the profiles. To be sure where they go, save a dummy profile in v4a (content is moot, just give it an easy name to find such as 'zzzzz') search for it in your file manager of choice, and copy those extracted profiles there.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Kdx10:
Hi everyone. I already installed v4a and its smoothly work. But i wanna try this one. Im using samsung galaxy j700h and selinux set to permissive. My question is how do i use this one? Do i need to uninstall v4a first then begin with the procedure. ? Thanks for helping me out.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] sordup:
Meaning, audio_effects.conf is called by Viper in the background as part of its functions and therefore these (Beats and Huawei) are not configurable by user?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
How is v4a currently installed? I'm interested in the actual installation path like /system/priv-app/ViPER4Android_4x, for example.

Android System runs the show concerning audio_effects.conf. If you disable v4a and/or any other DSP, you'll still get the Beats™ Huawei™ processing.

It's a shame that you're walking on eggshells in one or more threads as you are certainly an asset wherever you post.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
What are you trying to achieve? If it's deleting a /data installation of v4a and there is no viper folder in /data/app you're good to go. It seems like you are trying, unsuccessfully, to delete a v4a directory holding profiles and IRS files. I cannot stress the importance of using Root Explorer enough. If Root Explorer cannot perform an action you desire then it likely is impossible through any file manager. Root Explorer is likely the best $4 I ever spent on an Android app.

Where are attempting to place IRS files?

Try this:

In v4a

Menu > UI Setting > Expert

Underneath FIREqualizer check Enable Convolver

Look quickly for the brief toast listing the working v4a directory

Menu > Save Effect Profile > As new profile > type "HereItIs" > OK

When you find the directory containing HereItIs in the Profile folder you've found the working v4a directory and shouldn't have any further issues, especially if you use Root Explorer.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Dougshell:
This thread seems a bit overwhelming. If I only listen to Google play music on high quality setting will I see much improvement from installing this mod?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] sordup:
Got it. So they are working away in the background, no user interaction, in the Android audio world unless I do the uninstall process for your mod and wipe system and reload ROM.

That is what I understand you to mean.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
You sure will. Only way Google music was tolerable since its volume is really low
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You will, I guarantee it.

Yes, in fact, you might notice that with v4a turned off, it still sounds better than stock sounded.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Dougshell:
There are so many versions. I use pure nexus, Franco kernel 41, and do all my listening on factory installed speakers in an Elantra 2014 over Bluetooth.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Would you like a Dark or a Light Material themed ViPER4Android?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] azsl1326:
I am new to Viper Audio - always heard good things about it. Like someone posted earlier, I too find it a little overwhelming. I followed the instructions in the OP and flashed ViPERAtmos 3.7 Beats Huawei Edition Dark.zip and I found it in the app drawer (6P). So here's where I am somewhat confused. Do I need to flash any other mods? I see a number of them listed at the beginning of the OP, but not sure if I just flash this one zip will I have everything I need? One other question. I followed the instructions after starting the app, yet upon this step - Menu > Load Effect Profile > Audiophile, I do not have any profiles available, so clearly I am missing something. Any insight is certainly appreciated.

Thanks, in advance.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Dougshell:
Dark
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] jdogzilla:
Would be great if you can get a Dolby Atmos Dark version with 7.0.3 out. Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
The Audiophile™ Profile is no longer included in the installation beginning with version 3.6 as that inclusion seemed to cause more issues than convenience.

Try this:

In v4a

Menu > Save Effect Profile > As new Effect > type "azsl" > OK

Now look through the possible working v4a directories such as:

/data/media/legacy/ViPER4Android/Profile

/data/media/0/ViPER4Android/Profile

/storage/emulated/0/ViPER4Android/Profile

/storage/emulated/legacy/ViPER4Android/Profile

/sdcard/ViPER4Android/Profile

When you find the azsl folder you have found your working v4a directory. Be sure to download the Audiophile Extractable zip found in the OP attachments section and extract. Copy the Audiophile folder next to the azsl folder and be sure to also copy the Kernel folder from the extracted zip and place it or just the IRS files inside into the Kernel folder next to the Profile folder in that working v4a directory.

Concnering crackling sound

Reading a lot in this highly informative thread, i decided to switch off convolver and the IRS-system.

Why ? I noticed that sometimes there was played a really little small piece of sound (maybe from the last song i have listened to without any motivation . And afair IRS loads a sample into memory to calculate the IRS effect. So maybe there is something not 100% working with IRS and this cause the crackling.... I just use the convolver now while listening to music over BT and Headphone. I report if there are any positive results...

Cheers

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Sorry, I had forgotten about that part of your inquiry. The ViPERAtmos Beats Huawei editions contain absolutely everything I have made available in the OP except for the Audiophile profile which will need to be downloaded, extracted, and copied into your working v4a directory.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] mikeprius:
There are lots of different profiles hard to decide. So if I just download a zip then flash in twrp the apk is there when I start? Instead of dirty flashing the system ROM can I just make a nandroid prior and just restore that instead to go back?

---------- Post added at 04:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 AM ----------

To go back you just mount uncheck system then just flash whatever ROM zip you had prior and everything is restored back?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Just got XM 7.0.3 extracted, it will be just a bit as I don't just copy files. I use my own install and post install scripts and will need to edit several files.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Kdx10:
Its in /storage/emulated/0. I convert it as a system app using lucky patcher.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I believe Lucky Patcher moves v4a from /data/app to /system/priv-app but with the same folder name that /data/app uses. That name is not included in my removal section of the install script so I would recommend deleting the folder in /system/priv-app created by Lucky Patcher and then install the 3.7 ViPER package of your choice.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Precisely.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] azsl1326:
One last question - stuck on where the extracted files go. Sorry, but had a hard time following. I have attached a screenshot. The kernel folder shown is on side the profile directory for my working directory. Not sure if that's correct.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Kdx10:
I browse /system/priv-app but i dont see any v4a folder there. So it means can i install viper package of my choice directly?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24352994023707486
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
The IRS files are in the correct location. The Audiophile folder needs to be moved from that Kernel folder and into the Profile folder.

I'm sorry, I should have had you check /system/app as well. Two separate system v4a installs will cancel each other out is what I'm getting at. You can also wipe System in TWRP and dirty flash your current rom to be sure of a proper ViPER installation if that's not too inconvenient.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] azsl1326:
Corrected, thank you!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Kdx10:
What if i totally uninstall v4a then install your viper package. I think its more easy right. Any ways thanks a lot bro i will surely try your mod and hoping for a better result
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:

Yes it is. The less easy, dirty flash method is more consistent if your first attempt is unsuccessful.

Do you guys feel I should attach a standalone apk in the OP's attachment section?

If you guys really want it and [MENTION=5110913]Viper4713[/MENTION] grants permission then I will.

SRS™ is one of the system wide processes using the audio_effects.conf instruction set. There are only two apps that will appear in your App Drawer after flashing ViPER|Atmos™ - ViPER4Android and Dolby Atmos™ and you'll only see the ViPER4Android app if using any of the ViPER|Audio™ editions.
