Hmm, hadn't though about checking the permissions of the convolver files themselves. I'll look into that.

The weird thing about this is that this happens every time I boot my phone, not just the first time after install. Also, when I switch devices for the first time after any boot (say from headphones to bluetooth speakers), I'll have to do this convolver selection thing again. The V4A directory for me is just the root of the sdcard, nothing fancy there.

Also, it appears that the storage permissions are setup properly by your ViperAudio 4.7.1 but not for the 5.5 version. This part doesn't matter much to me but can't hurt to note it.

Edit: I don't have an option to check permissions for my V4A folder in ES File explorer (or for any files on the sdcard for that matter)

It appears that the convolver isn't being restored when I load a profile as well

Edit 2: In addition, my set volume isn't remembered, it keeps getting reset to the default one which nearly blows my eardrums out everytime. Not sure if this is related to V4A or not

Edit 3: I believe I've found the culprit: my saved profiles. I made a new test profile and the issue went away. I've had the same profiles for 3 years :(

Any insight into the volume reset issue? Thanks
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thank you for the kind words and I'm thrilled you decided to give it a shot! :highfive:

The M7 Beats libraries and effects run system-wide and are activated by audio_effects.conf with no apk or visible app.

Even though it isn't an actual occupation for me I treat it as one as I am crazily passionate about it and want users to get the ultimate experience instead of settling with what they think is a fully functional audio enhancement system with not much potential for further improvement, which is why I try my hardest to keep the post-installation steps to a minimum and coherently provide additional information and steps to do what I cannot do via the installation process. :good:

Dolby Atmos processes all Bluetooth output without compromise. :good:

I suspect MusicFX is not installed on your device.

Yeah, my next question was going to be if you were on the latest v4a which, I and many others have found, is not fully compatible with many of the older IRS and Profile data created for previous v4a iterations.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Zackptg5:
My previous phone was the LG G2. I first had the previous version on it which is the one in which I made my profiles. Then I updated to the latest one while still on the G2 and I never had a problem until I got this nexus. I tried both the older version and newer version on it and the problem remained in both so I'm really not sure what the deal was but at least it's fixed now. Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
The power of ViPER4Android's ambiguity and unexpected behavior will last long after we are no longer a species lol!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] jeffgt14:
Oh wow. I put audio_effects.conf back and tried the 5.5 zip and everything works now. I really only used the 5.4 because I didn't want the Sony Beats stuff. Not really sure what it does but I guess I'll stick with it.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
:highfive:

Because MOAR! is always better! :good:

If you think that sounds good, just wait until you hear 4.8!

Please post the text contents of the following file:

/data/data/com.android.musicfx/shared_prefs/musicfx.xml
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] gil80:
I don't have shared_pref folder.

Only cache and code_cache

I flashed that zip file you added two days ago to OP: MusicFX_Installer_and_AudioFX_Remover.zip

by the way, I still cannot load your audophile4.0 profiles.

Can you please post a screenshot of the settings you have for wired headphone and BT?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Extract the zip below and place /shared_prefs/musicfx.xml in /data/data/com.android.musicfx, set 0771 permissions for /shared_prefs, set 0660 permissions for /shared_prefs/musicfx.xml, and reboot.

Headset tab is identical to Bluetooth except for this single change:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] viddy135:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] well my everything broke. I am playing music on Bluetooth and viper says I am playing on a headset, which I am not and atmos doesn't do the anything and I think its the same reason as viper. I am running aosp 6.0 on d852, viper atmos Sony beats 4.8.

I think I updated my ROM version and this happen
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
In v4a:

Menu > Lock Effect Mode > Disable

Flash ViPER zip with no wipes and all the /system files should resolve the other issues. :good:

Not work I'm on dirty unicorn weekly removed audio mix then flash v4A but still not work
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] johan111:
Just play some music and processing status will change to "yes".
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Ruka82:
I had the same problem, on the dirty unicorn op they post a link to an old version of v4a, installed that version, all appear exactly like you but the process not start even with audio application. (i have nexus 5x version)

I try first a new reflash of that zip, same problem, then i try with the official 5.5 version on the op and all is working simply flashing that zip without remove anything.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] svnhvn:
I also with DU weekly but it's worked, flawlessly. But only this in-call volume, i barely hear others voices when someone called me.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] hunting_:
Its play on SoundCloud when i take a picture

And I'm on Enforcing even i try on poweramp
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] johan111:
Have you tried this for poweramp

In PowerAmp:

Settings > Audio > Advanced Tweaks

Uncheck the top two boxes pertaining to Volume Control

Sometimes v4a doesn't work for some apps, especially music streaming apps. In this case it requires audio_policy modification and only [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] can help with that.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] jeffgt14:
So is there a way to disable the Sony and Beats stuff? I’m not really a fan of how they sound and they just seem to conflict with Viper.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Attach /system/etc/audio_policy.conf with .zip added to the end of the name and I'll fix you right up. :good:

What ViPER package and version?

Dirty flash your current rom and flash a Stock package.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] NYCHitman1:
https://github.com/DirtyUnicorns/android_device_lge_bullhead/blob/m/audio_policy.conf
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Flash in recovery.

Test all affected apps and report as successful/unsuccessful. :good:

Edit*

Sorry, I thought you were having issues. BULLHEAD simply needs deep_buffer removed which is done by the ViPER installation. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] fguerra024:
If i am on on a stock rom (nexus 6), can i use the latest version without call issues? I have had issues with no in call mic response when previously connected to a headphones and also in Google Now (not registering OK Google in the setup, maybe its not related to this mod) and also people say my calls start with some static or feedback and then clear up once after a second or two. That was with Dirty Unicorns latest weekly. I saw somebody post earlier about needing to use 5.3 to avoid issues but I see that is no longer available in the OP. If that is what I need, where can i get it?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Sure man, 4.8.1 should work as that is what I use on my modified stock N6 rom. The first step is to ensure you have sufficient free /system space available as untouched stock 6.0.1 on N6 does not provide enough space. If you need to create some space, deleting the three Editor folders from /system/app will yield a substantial amount of free space.

Also ensure that MusicFX is disabled and you shouldn't have any issues as long as SuperSU is installed if on Stock kernel.

If you don't want to try 4.8.1, I recommend 4.8 from the OP. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] fguerra024:
Thanks for the quick reply man. I plan on using the unbloated stock ROM you used for your ROM with this baked in. I guess I really could just use your ROM without issues right? Same thing you are running on your phone?

Also, to disable MusicFx can I just uninstall it with a root app uninstaller?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
My rom would be the easiest for sure. If you look at the OP, you will see the rom download, the Xperia Media System add-on download, and the ViPER|Atmos Xperia Edition rom download. I run the Xperia Edition rom which is just the rom and add-on already combined. There may be some issues with the B14CKB1RD kernel included in that rom so if you experience any unusual behavior, I suggest you head to the Elite Kernel thread, and download and install the latest M version and not the N version obviously.

I think you will really dig that rom for sure. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
That's what I had noticed too, system space was lacking on those.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] themoto:
Saw you in Dr.Ketan's Rom and say it's working with stock kernel.

I have it running with permissive kernel (Googymax 1.1)

But yesterday i decide to try it once again on stock kernel.

I installed new Rom My LilithS7edge from Androidwizzard.

Installed busybox from JRummy(you mention that one in ketans thread)and wipe cash and dalvik cash in twrp and flasht guitardedhero's 4.8 without drivers.Dolby FC and Viper4A asking to install drivers over and over again.

I freeze soundalive in titanium and permissions are set.

I can't understand what's i'm doing wrong.

Any idea.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] gil80:
how does the shared prefs folder will help if audio fx is disabled?

anyway, BT audio doesn't get signal processing from Atmosphere.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] vicky90:
After flashing Sony media suite phone doesn't boot on Moto G CM13 , clean flash with audio fx disabled.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Dolby Atmos overwrites that file in /data/data/com.android.musicfx/shared_prefs during installation which is also located in its own /data/data/com.atmos/shared_prefs folder so I thought that might help you. You might check the permissions for Dolby Atmos through its App Info page.

If you look at the contents of musicfx.xml I shared with you you'll see why I did. This was from no manipulation by me and 100% natural behavior, at least in my case. I don't know for sure if it helps or if it has no impact whatsoever, but when I noticed that entry by Dolby Atmos in MusicFX's /data/data location, I started to suspect the majority of Dolby Atmos FC's or incompatibility could be from no MusicFX installed which would mean no /data/data/com.android.musicfx/shared_prefs/musicfx.xml for Dolby Atmos to overwrite.

Dolby Atmos should be processing all Bluetooth output, you mind providing your audio_policy.conf?

You mean the Full Music Suite I just posted or a different zip? If Full Music Suite, did an earlier Sony package work OK for you?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] dingermtb:
Same here with one you just posted (first one I tried). On clean flash, after splash screen, no bootanimation just black screen but boot notification light does blink, but just sits there. Never gets to "optimizing apps". Wasn't sure if it was device specific or not. SGS3 on Vanir 6.0.1

Damn!

You only get one chance at a first impression and I blew that one lol!

It's likely the way build.prop was handled. I'm testing patching files like I used to instead of overwriting them.

How much free /system space do you currently have?

Cool, thank you.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] dingermtb:
Lol, no problem bro. Your work is in a class all in its own. I suggest your Viper packages to everyone.

Right now, I have 176 MB free in system, but could trim down if needed

Sent from Outside the 9 using my ZombieKnot SGS3
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I appreciate you and that truly means a lot to me! :good:

I didn't suspect your issue from being lack of space as you would just boot up fine with missing data from the mod. I was curious if you would like to try my Xperia Media System ViPER|Atmos Edition zip which is really cool and will leave your 4.8 perfectly fine.

To be safe, I recommend 300mb or more of free /system space.

Full Music Suite​

I also made a change with build.prop handling with the Full Music Suite.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] dingermtb:

Thank you, abandoning that build.prop script for the normal one. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] aqilsoomro:
Rom Jgcaap cm13 version
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Not at all! You have the best version by far! You are only missing SoundEnhancement which I intentionally left out as it doesn't sound good if used with v4a and Dolby Atmos turned on. I'll update that build with SoundEnhancement today.

The Music Suite was to test the patching scripts which will be abandoned. I was most curious how the patched audio_effects.conf would sound and work but my custom audio_effects.conf likely works better anyway. Plus, I wanted to provide a way for you to avoid having to delete the build.prop entries before flashing the zip again, but its causing boot issues.

Edit*

I was mistaken, SoundEnhancement is already included in that build. I was thinking something is missing, but can't put my finger on it...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] aqilsoomro:
Thanks man love your work and prompt response.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] clauss2004:
Hi there !!! Firstly I have to congratulate you [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] for the awesome work you put into this mod and your rom too. I'am on Nexus 6 stock rom and I have the following issue which started yesterday out of nowhere: when playing youtube videos the sound is out of sync from the video. After trying several youtube apps (firstly I blamed the app), kernels and so on, i found out that in order to get rid of that delay between the sound and the video I just have to stop viper audio. In other words in order to have a smooh play in youtube, viper audio is deactivated ( i only use the dolby atmos which doesn't conflict).

I don't know if I'm the only one here with this issue but if you have the time maybe you can try to replicate it and further investigate it.

Thank you for your time, work and kindness !!!

Edit: I forgot to mention that I have tried 4.8, 4.8.1 and 5.5 Viper|Atmos Sony Beats Edition and in all variants I had to deactivate Viper Audio. Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thank you very much! :good:

Thank you as well! :good:

I believe it's Convolver that is the cause. I haven't looked much into it but it may be possible to remedy this through audio_policy.conf but I wouldn't be surprised if there is nothing to be done either.

Is there a difference in sound quality between 4.8 and 5.5. If so, which one is better?

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

Also,

I have this songs lyrics, when playing songs, it fluctuates from high to low. This happens when I have Atmos dialoge enhancer enabled. Once this is off, it doesn't =\. I tried ver 4.7.1 and 4.8, same. Tested it on TouchWize 5.0.1 custom rom, AOSP 5.1.1 rom, same issue. I have Galaxy S4 snapdragon 600 model.

Do I install MaxxAudio in addition to Viper Android?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I freaking detest MaxxAudio! I've been spending so much time on it today and it's driving me insane! No luck...

1: I provided that for users experiencing Dolby Atmos issues that do not have MusicFX installed and possibly have AudioFX installed as an experiment. Additionally, it may be helpful for any other processing issue while not having MusicFX installed.

2: NO!! Lol.

Samsung has a very high compatibility with my favorite version 4.8.1. I suggest having an acceptable backup ready before flashing just in case. Alternatively, 4.8 Sony Beats is the best IMO.

That can be normal behavior for Dialogue Enhancer. While working properly, it really doesn't provide much at all so don't feel you are missing out by leaving it Off. :good:

No!! Lol.

If you are on Lollipop, you can certainly try if you're interested.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
4.8 is the preferred when it comes to sound..

I may try 4.8.1 on the moto g
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] iceman0826:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] once again outdid himself with his Viper|Audio v4.8.1. ? I didn't encounter the issues that plagued v4.8.1 and the overall audio quality experience was awesome compared to v4.8. I like the improved soundstage it offers though I think my Soundmagic E10S can be further improved with a standalone DAC and USB Audio Player Pro App.

Just got home and flashed the Music Suite you provided earlier with same result as this morning. After splash screen goes to black screen. Gotta do some system trimming before trying the Full Edition though. You still rock bro?

Have an acceptable backup ready if you don't want to wipe system, I think Moto G was plagued as well but there's always a possibility with the variation of roms available. :good:

Thank you very much man! I agree and am very happy with this version! How much available /system space do you currently have? I have two different Sony packages that cost nothing and may really surprise you with the quality of Sony Music when used with the appropriate data. :good:

Damn, I'm sorry manz I could have sworn I warned against anything with Music Suite and thought I had deleted it from AndroidFileHost even. Checking now to clean it up.

You want Sony™ Xperia™ Z5 Premium Marshmallow Media System ViPER|Atmos™ Edition if you're able to make room. Otherwise, go for Sony™ Music 9.1.7.A.1.0 Beta Installer from the AndroidFileHost Sony folder. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Good looks. I'll do a quick search on backing up, I usually just wipe system since I don't use much on that phone. From your comment and others 4.8.1 is worth it

Hi [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] Does any of the Xperia Media System app's work properly? Or is it a risk ZIP for now?

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
It's about as functional (don't want to be that guy that says MOST!) as you've seen for sure. Anything not working is not included. I'm working on the Music visualizer at this very moment and think I'm close. There will be an update by tomorrow adding a couple of extras and tidying up. :good:

Edit*

The only risk zip was the Music Suite which was only to test two scripts, nothing extra that broke anything if that makes sense. Just needed the name to be different to separate the test.

Latest CM nightly broke Viper4Android for many devices I believe. I've tried every single version (ViperAtmos, ViperDD+, ViperAudio) and nothing worked. I'm getting this error: Viper4Android: The IR sample directory /storage/emulated/legacy/Viper4Android/Kernel is empty. The fix mentioned in the OP didn't work either. Is there a way to fix it?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
In v4a:

Menu > Save Effect Profile > As New Effect .> Stock (or something unique)

Menu > Load Effect Profile

Confirm that your newly saved profile is listed to be able to select.

Search through the possible working v4a directories until you find the saved Profile folder in /ViPER4Android/Profile and then copy your Kernel folder from the directory used before the rom update and paste into the /ViPER4Android folder next to the Profile folder where you found the new profile you had saved.
