Alright i will give it a try. Send me the link for both atmos at viper Sony beats editions.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Muradin:
On my computer now, got two zip files after emailing it to myself (?)

Anyway, this one should work.

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]

Tested 4.8.0.1-2, same as all the others, in call volume & call volume is still broken. Also should I be testing these builds with & without the build-prop tweaks?

I tested 4.8.0.1-2 with build-props tweaks included.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] urrgevo:
I know it's been asked and answered before, but I have looked the past few days and can't find it. How do I get this working on Pure Nexus? There isn't an option to disable Music FX. If someone can post a link I'd be grateful, I have missed having Viper
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
Unfortunately that hasn't helped me - not noticeable difference in incall volume.

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

I followed these steps and also flashed 4.8.1.0-2, still low volume. The issue is I don't even recall when the problem started :(

I think I'll go back with a full ROM flash - (CATA MOD on MMB29V)... I can then test my volume and see how it is prior to V4A. Then - what version of V4A should I be flashing? I'll likely edit the .xml file (above) prior to V4A and see if there is a volume bump then.

Device: Nexus 6P, Cata MOD, Hell's God Kernel..

I'll test each step and report back if/where I lose the volume... I'm guessing it is when I updated with 4.8.?

Any other thoughts to try?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] RobboW:
Check in your developer options down in Media section, see if it has use NuPlayer checked. If so, try turning that option off and reboot.

It apparently can cause issues when streaming.

My Mate 7 doesn't have Music FX either. It has Dolby built in and did have NuPlayer in use. When that is disabled, the OS reverts to the older AwesomePlayer.

I tried both viper atmos beats 5.5 and viper beats 5.5 and both work for me.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] colinmcg71:
Go to Settings > Apps then click the three dots in the top right and hit "Show System".

After that you'll be able to scroll down and disable MusicFX.

Also be sure to go into Vendor > etc and either rename or delete audio_effects.conf

This should get v4a up and running on your 6p.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] urrgevo:
I did that but still nothing. I'm on a N6, not 6P, I don't know if that makes any difference. Nothing I've tried has gotten Viper to work since I upgraded to MM

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]

Hey bruh, I went ahead and clean flashed all builds 4.8.x and above, with & without V4A build-prop tweaks, sorry to report that in call volume & call volume remain borked.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Extract the zip below, rename to audio_policy.conf, copy to /system/etc, change permissions to 0644, and reboot.

I removed the compress offload paragraph. I don't know if it will work but it was the first thing I saw worth trying.

Thanks a ton man. Yes, test with lines deleted as well. :good:

4.8 should be good for you. :good:

Try the zip below, then disable MusicFX and reboot.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I appreciate the time you're taking testing these for me. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] colinmcg71:
Ah, sorry I couldn't be more help. Hope you get it working.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Muradin:
Thanks so much for your interest so far. Sad to say that the modified file did not make a difference though. V4a and dolby still working for all other sounds with this file though.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I would have been surprised if it worked actually. I wanted to be sure deep buffer was removed which it already was.

Does your rom have MusicFX or AudioFX?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Muradin:
MusicFX (version 1.4), which I have disabled.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
So weird. I never use it but always test it after hearing a report about it not working and it simply has never not worked for me on N6 stock Marshmallow. No changes made in SoundCloud settings or anything. :(
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Muradin:
Yeah, I've noticed others reporting it as well. I get the idea that the sound processing from soundcloud goes through some other channel or something, bypassing viper. Since all other sound does get processed. But I have no knowledge of all this stuff..
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
It is processed through v4a with a proper audio_policy.conf file. What phone do you have?

You could try my N6 stock file.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Muradin:
Nexus 5x, safe to try?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Paschfire:
No probs anytime bruh!:highfive:

I may not always be quick, but am happy to help.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Yes, keep a copy of your original on /sdcard if you need to restore it. Be sure permissions are 0644 before rebooting after placing either in /system/etc.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
Ive reflashed rom and then 4.8 volume is good now
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ZabiGarma:
Question, is it better to turn off v4a while doing calls on the speaker?

I've noticed there's an audible static (sometimes other kinds of noises) whenever I make calls using the speakers, but it's gone if I turn off v4a.

Thanks mate! That solved my issue.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Meowdib:
Any way to grep and rm -rf viper/atmos from the Sony zip?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Since you've isolated the cause of your issue, absolutely. :good:

The Media System add-on? I'll prepare that for you shortly. Do you want the full Sony Beats and ALSA to remain?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Meowdib:
Mostly wanted a pure Sony, no Beats but don't know what ALSA does to the phone.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Media System or just a full Music System?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Meowdib:
I'm guessing the full Music System is all the Sony apps.

Edit:Just like the media add-on without any extras like viper, atmos, beats [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]

I'm on 29Q with Cat MOD ex kernel with regular old 4.8 (just flashed it no adding or deleting) edited what is in that thread and it worked. Haven't tried anything past 4.8, V4A is so picky I don't like messing with it. Hopefully you get it sorted out.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Not at the moment. I kind of hit a wall with ideas. My biggest problem is not having a device that results with this issue after installing 4.8.1. Sometimes clarity and fresh ideas are gained from stepping away and taking a break for a bit lol!

I can install viperatmos sony beats edition 5.5 but i cant use any convolvers,since there is no viper4android folder. Even when i create one with kernel folder inside with convolvers inside. Viper4android gaves the error "no irs files found".

Can anybody help me please. Without the convolver, viper4android is like a lamborghini with toyota prius sound for me?

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Any difference with atmos off?

You might try changing your kernel governer to OnDemand and/or raising the minimum CPU frequency to 422.

after clean flash i will report..
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Was the Dolby Atmos FC when flashed over XM or was it the only sound mod installed? Did you ever disable the stock audio effects like SoundAlive?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] so.hell:
when i flash over XM dolby atoms force close.let me try disable soundalive and check
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
It should install and work just fine installed over XM as long as there is sufficient free /system space available. I'm confident it is stock audio effects causing the FC.

I am aware that some folks are experiencing issues with this version but my device is samsung. I am willing to try it on my Galaxy S3 running on CM11 ☺

My bad, I totally missed that.

Extract the audio_policy.conf from the zip

Rename /system/etc/audio_policy.conf to audio_policy.conf.bak

Copy and paste the extracted audio_policy.conf to /system/etc

Set permissions of audio_policy.conf to 0644

Reboot

Thanks for that Sony only zip. Works great, provides just enough richness and loudness to make my earbuds sound better without the background hiss. Sometimes too much choice is detrimental to me. Anyways, wanted to report that your donation button is down.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I suspect the current Dolby Atmos settings are causing this. You can try tapping the Power button icon in Dolby Atmos to turn it off and test again.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You'll want to compare the original and the new audio_policy.conf files and copy any paragraph(s) not found on the new one. You can also place both in a folder to zip it up and attach it to a lost and I'll take a look.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] desirexel:
Hi [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] can you link me to 4.8.x pls..
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] urrgevo:
I tried that and still nothing, was I supposed to rename the audio policy file? I checked the driver status and everything looked good other than it said it wasn't processing. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

Edit, I see that I was, I'll try that. Sorry, work has my sleep schedule screwy
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] vansaiyuki1:
Thanks sir for your help :good:, i attach a zip file with audio policy modified by you and another from nexus 6p :D
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Was the 6p file included the one you were running with the mod? I ask because the deep buffer paragraph should have been removed by the ViPER installation. The removal of that paragraph has always been enough for me to allow SoundCloud to process through v4a.

Thanks sooooooo much man you re blessed... Changelog? Are you updating the thread soon :good:;)

Simply flash over 4.8?or clean install?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Updates take place when the version works for everyone and guitardedhero is satisfied with what he seeked from the changes.. It's still a testing phase
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Added Xperia Z5 Premium Marshmallow acdb data and surround_sound_3mic data. These additions create no in-call volume for several users so it does not meet the prerequisites the OP requires. If it works for you perfectly for you then you have the best sound mod I've ever put together! What phone/rom are you running?

Edit*

Remove the ViPER|Audio™ and SONY effect build.prop lines, save changes, and flash 4.8.1.

I "created" a package with the profiles in #2 + with many many many profiles that collect long time, and upload here:

* Initially created for personal purposes (Perhaps a profile does not sound good to your hardware set) *

* A good starting point for beginners *

* Credit to the creator of the profile is the profile name (if possible!) *

Change log V4:

* 200 profiles (102 IRS + 4 VDC)

* All revised with ViPERAudio 4.8.1.1-2 Sony Beats Edition

* All profiles tested in my Moto Maxx / JBL-J22 / Samsung F5555WK via Bluetooth

Old change logs:

Change log V3:

* 150 profiles (81 IRS + 4 VDC)

* All revised with ViPERAudio 4.8.2 Sony Beats Edition

* All profiles tested in my Moto Maxx / JBL-J22 / Samsung F5555WK via Bluetooth

Change log V2:

* 100 profiles (62 IRS + 2 VDC)

* All revised with ViPERAudio 4.7.1 Sony Beats Edition

* All profiles tested in my Moto Maxx / JBL-J22 / Samsung F5555WK via Bluetooth

Change log V1:

* 50 profiles (50 IRS + 2 VDC)

* All revised with ViPERAtmos 5.3 Sony Beats Edition

* All profiles tested in my Moto Maxx / JBL-J22 / Samsung F5555WK via Bluetooth

Instructions:

*If you are upgrading delete the folder called STOCK inside the folder viper4android

Just extract to your ViPER4Android folder

Next releases

* I plan to review more than 220+ profiles that collect

BlueTooth

Hi All.

I'm using V4A Atmos + sony beats 4.8.

Just to verify, it seems that when using bluetooth headphone:

1. In V4A, the PlaybackAGC is not working at all.

2. Atmos is not doing any effect as well.

Tried with PowerAmp and Google Music and Spotify.

Can anyone confirm?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] MrBrady:
Anyone know of way to get rid of the popping / skipping that now happens frequently on Marshmallow with Viper? It's almost as if the cpu is struggling to keep up. Tried all three drivers and it's the least amount with the highest quality driver.

I've also tried different kernels, all ended up with the same issue.

Nexus 6 running Pure Nexus 12/1. Primarily using Google Play Music subscription and Pandora.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Woody:
We talked about this in the middle of last month, but I have narrowed it down to the Interactive Governor (at least on Elemental). I talked to Flar and he said that he didn't ramp up the audio drivers, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Since then, I have switched to On-Demand and I have no popping or cracking. I don't mind On-Demand, but I do get RRs every once in awhile; maybe once a week. I've always like Interactive though and it has generally given me the best battery life. I'll trade that for my music any day of the week though.

Also, I installed eXtremebeats.zip which adds a nice layer of sound equilibrium to Viper. Only thing is that the eXbeats zip puts the version of Viper it contains in /system/app and in GMusic (at least for me) Viper gets shutdown after one song and I have to either reboot or reinstall the drivers. Not sure why though. You can do two things. First unzip the eXBeats zip and put the AIO files in there, change the path from /system/app to /system/priv-app in the updater-script and folders. Or you can flash the eXBeats zip and then the AIO zip in that order. This is what worked for me. I have one version of Viper in /system/app and the AIO one in /system/priv-app and they don't conflict with each other. I could theoretically remove the one from /system/app, but it works for me, so I'm not going to rock the boat.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] naeem76:
this should be higher up! Thank you!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] NOSTALGIA:
ill try your way..

im very meticulous with this popping sound in viper.. im now worried to get these issues coz i just jumped to MM the past few days but havent really tried to listed to songs for a while coz i was amused by the snappiness of the OS. im on purenexus 12/1 with elementalX, i hope i wont hear any of this .. ill be reporting my experience in the next few hours (hopefully) and see if it really has a problem.. the last time i encountered this said issue was way back lollipop days at its very early stages but after a while it disappeard. and i never had any configs that could possibly ruin the listening experience.. just pure stock.. will check on this and will report back here..
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] NOSTALGIA:
currently testing.. purenexus 12/1 build with elementalX on poweramp using viper permissive fix and tha aio zip on op.. so far no crackingg yet. interactive governor
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] MrBrady:
I've noticed the popping is significantly worse when Viper4Android is doing more processing, like the Spectrum Extension or lots of audio gain. Once I disable some of the options in the profile I use, the popping goes away.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I put together a v4a installer that I hope will be the most versatile so far. Preinstalled driver, /system/lib/soundfx/ libraries, /system/build.prop lines, should work with Permissive and Enforcing Selinux, and also should work without root with TWRP.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] NOSTALGIA:
this is nice..

btw , i already tested the sound on earphones with v4, poweramp, and purenexus at first.. the test was for days because i have to travel last weekend and the travel was around 4 hours long going and another 4 hours going back home

1st . pure nexus--- no crackling

2nd - stock debloated rom by tupac

result...

no crackling or popping

kernel used: elementalx ..

governor used: elementalX still..

no other modifications made..

resuls were the same on youtube as well

. You know you are going to have someone flash those without reading the zip description thinking that they are like the others and then come in here asking why the zip failed.

I'm just forward thinking here. :highfive:

Alirght I'll link to @guitardedhero's post in the OP so if they know what it is, they can use it.
