Yeah, sorry for the slight waste there as I was sure to delete everything from Drive, empty Trash, so that there would not be an issue with storage. I haven't been able to use Drive for a while so tried to wipe it before creating folders and sharing links. Apparently, Google doesn't want to delete photos and stuff so hastily. Taking requests here for now. :good:

I appreciate it man! It truly is something special when jamming away! That is, until a customer calls or you're needing to contact someone lol! My in-call volume has been a persistent mute. I brainstormed and investigated the libraries quite a bit and REDUX #4 will appear after these replies. :good:

Sounds like an existing /system or /data/app install is conflicting. Delete all v4a/vipercon folders from:

/system/app

/system/priv-app

/data/app

Alright, here's the audio_policy from the 6P that I uploaded previously.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
ViPER|Atmos™ 4.8.1-TP Sony™ Beats™ Edition​

A brand new vision for the same goal.

Changes:

No more generic libraries and effects (bundle, effectproxy,visualizer).

The stock libraries and effects on your device will be used, as after thorough research, these don't deviate much, meaning Sony's aren't any more special and all are the product of AOSP and Google anyway.

Only proprietary Sony Z5 Premium Marshmallow files and HTC M7 Beats™ files are included, resulting in no xloud, vpt, vpt51, and /etc/surround_sound. A return is possible, but having a most dependable control for testing is crucial at this point.

Now using a realistic /system/etc/audio_effects.conf and /system/vendor/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf files similar to what is found in most devices, instead of /system/etc having the same file as /vendor. If your device does not use /system/vendor or /vendor, then you might try copying the vendor file into /system/etc if results aren't exciting enough.

htc_audio_effects and audio_effects_vendor files will not be created but will be deleted during installation to default to either /system/etc or /system/vendor/etc config.

No Audiophile inclusion.

No addon.d at this time until a stable build is found.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Le me know if it's lacking in any way. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Roi007leaf:
Still can't change call volume
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] chikimonke:
So along with flashing redux #4 I overwrite my existing audio_policy.conf with this new one, correct? Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Damn, that was fast lol! Almost too fast for a dirty rom flash to restore your original /system/lib/soundfx files necessary to test this version! :good:

Wipe system, dirty flash rom, and flash #4 and swap audio_policies. :good:

I'm on v4.7.1 ViperAudio on my 6p, what are the steps to upgrade to latest Redux #4?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Roi007leaf:
Yeah.. About that... Lol.. Going to dirty flash.. Sorry boss :silly:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] elevatorguy:
Will restoring a nandroid of a clean install (since it includes system) accomplish the same thing as wiping system and a dirty flash?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
REDUX #4 will require a system wipe and dirty rom flash to restore the necessary stock libraries and effects of your rom on which this version relies. :good:

:good:

Yes, as long as that nandroid contains /system/lib/soundfx of your rom. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] colinmcg71:
Wiped system, flashed rom, gapps and vendor. Flashed REDUX #4 and placed modified audio_policy.conf in system /etc and rebooted.

Unfortunately in-call volume is still stuck at a low level and can't be changed.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Fortunately for me, #'s are infinite lol! :highfive:

Try this step to test two things:

Move /system/libacdbmapper.so to /sdcard somewhere.

Restore original audio_policy.conf with 0644 permissions.

Reboot and test again.

I really do appreciate you guys testing so quickly! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] iceman0826:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] of all the devs I saw here at XDA, you are the man with that BIG PATIENCE! Seriously it's nice to see that the development of this Awesome Audio Mod of yours shows no sign of slowing down but accelerating to Perfection^^.

At the moment I am experiencing the low volume issues with v4.8.1 but I can mitigate it using Boeffla Sound App, So I'll stick around and wait for that stable updated build. :good:

I hope once you found that sweet and stable build, I hope the first page will get updated with the current common fix and instructions. I almost got a crossed eyes just moving back and forth between pages where solutions A or B is, or where's that new version reside :good:

But other than that I hope you won't lose that Big Patience of yours, I think it's what drives the development of this MOD to it's Audiophile Greatness :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I really do appreciate the notice and kind words! :good: I'm in a great situation with Android N where I can finally test the critical muted voice call on my end. It won't be much longer, especially because of all of you! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] colinmcg71:
Thanks yet again for all your efforts!

Unfortunately in-call volume is still stuck after doing those two tweaks.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] MrBrady:
This mod REALLY makes the device shine - even with crappy headphones! Absolutely amazing!

Question: I'm running the 5.5 version. If I strictly want to save battery, is it better to change a bunch of settings or keep the settings minimal and use an IRS file? Or do neither really have much of an affect on battery life when playing music?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
An active Convolver on Speaker output absolutely uses the most juice. Keeping it off in Speaker or not using Speaker at all will save you the most.

If it's good, it ain't cheap. If it's cheap, it ain't good. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] MrBrady:
I only have Viper enabled on BT and headphones. Reason I ask is because there seem to be some really great IRS files. Currently I'm running no IRS and all manual tweaks, but am looking for a change.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I stopped modifying the audio_policy as it sometimes wasn't enough for some users so I'm doing a hands on case-by-case method to ensure everything will work properly which will also allow you to learn. Hopefully, it'll catch on pretty quick.

Attach your /system/etc/audio_policy.conf renamed with ".zip" at the end to a reply and I'll take a look. :good:

:highfive:

Hopefully, my discovery of my needed solution resolves your issues as well. :good:

What a heartwarming post to preclude my finding the no in-call volume issue at long last! :highfive:

ViPER|Atmos™ 4.8.1-TP REDUX #5 Sony™ Beats™ Edition​

Found it...

Removed /system/lib/libaudcal.so to restore no volume issue. Removal line in script to allow dirty flash.

Returned Z5 Premium Marshmallow /system/lib/soundfx/libeffectproxy.so for Nexus 6 Marshmallow.

Finally, some long overdue rest...

sad to say that with 4.8.1TP#5 I still got no media volume with it. in fact, when playing an audio via music player it turns slow mo, sometimes track duration rewinds a second before the current time playing. my guess is a lib issue? [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]

In-call volume is working as expected now and can be adjusted during a call.

Wiped System, dalvik and cache, flashed vendor, rom and gapps then redux #6 and Sony Music beta.

I haven't replaced the system /etc/audio_policy.conf with the modified yet though.

Thanks for the hard work you've put in getting this working on the 6P!

Sorry to report, Redux#6 is causing issues with the dialer phone freezes when making a call, also no audio output most of the time, if there is any it is very low or full of background noise Same happens when playing music on google play.

Same outcome using earpiece & loudspeaker, including wired headphones.

Also Pulse no longer works.

Installed dirty flash wiped: /system, /cache, /ART cache.

These lines instruct the system to use the built-in Advanced Linux Sound Architecture our devices have. :good:

You need a different version as well. I'll try to incorporate the Universal install script to properly install with existing and nonexisting files. Please answer to each if this file exists on your device:

/system/lib/libacdbmapper.so

/system/vender/lib/libacdbloader.so

/system/vendor/lib/libacdbrtac.so

Go to sdcard/Android/data and delete the com.sonyericsson.music folder.

Then in Titanium Backup (if you have it) find Music 9.1.7.A.1.0 in the Backup/Restore tab, select it and wipe data.

Once that's done launch Sony Music again and your album art should be back [emoji106]

Everything seems to be working except call volume is not adjustable. I wiped system dalvik cache, flashed rom, gapps and viper. It's loud enough after editing mixer paths, as I'm half deaf that's a good thing ?. I flashed the Audio_policy file for the 6p. I think I have the whole tweakprop thing done right. If I understand it correctly all I have to do is copy suggestedtweakprop.zip to the root of sdcard and rename suggestedtweakprop. and it should do its thing. Specs 6p PN 4/7 Redux 6.

Extract the ViPER mod zip, and flash the tweakprop.zip inside the /tweakpropscript folder any time you want to just run the tweak.prop patching. You can place the tweakprop.zip on /sdcard for easy access. :good:

So based on that can I safely assume that the files in

/framework

/vendor/overlay

Can be deleted without any effect in the rest of the system?

None of those files exists at all? No /system/vendor/lib/libaudcal.so?

Attach your /system/etc/audio_policy.conf as well.

I wasn't very clear either, the list of files requested is after a rom flash only. I'm interested in only what natively exists on the rom. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] jesssiii:
