Pure audio is in a mod called Extreme Beats Cadence which is part of his mod. Also I am right but I am also no expert there is however thousands of headphone reviews online that back me up. There is also a guide to sound mods that [MENTION=5605825]Ben Feutrill[/MENTION] created that further backs me up on this as well as numerous articles about audio online. I have a pair of Audio Technica earphones($80 retail price) so I was already getting better quality audio without the sound mod and viper4android. With those additions I have even better audio. In the end music is very subjective and any suggestions is based on personal experience and not for the community as a whole.
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
I can't really help you on that part as I don't experience a clarity overdose with Audio Technica. With the Hesh 2 it is when I use viper4android clarity settings that I experience this and not from your mod. It is with the Auvio Concert Class that I experience this. Finding the cause will improve the sound I hear from the Auvio but will have a slight effect on the Hesh 2(in regards to v4a) and almost no effect on the ATH-ANC33.

[MENTION=5271795]BlazeForth[/MENTION] have headphones with a V-shape sound signature. His earphones can playback bass frequencies lower than 20 Hz. His headphones have a 4Hz-24,000Khz sound frequency and can handle the extra bass as well as some extra treble. Despite headphones capable of handling higher treble he is saying that the treble is too high. I have tried headphones with the same specs and sound signature as [MENTION=5271795]BlazeForth[/MENTION]'s headphones and gotten mixed results with sound mods as some tend to sound more balanced while the others have a harsher treble sound.

My earphones and [MENTION=4866844]Bala_2668[/MENTION] earphones have the same specs but different sound signatures. His has a v-shape sound signature while mines has a balanced sound signature. My headphones still sound balanced with the sound mod and viper4android. His now has an unbearable bass and treble sound. You can try and "improve" the sound mod for them but at some point they will have to buy better headphones and there plenty good ones at the $25-$80 price range.

I love TASP, but in its current state I just can't flash it. I get Dolby FC's every boot and tons of rebooting. Really need viper though, any way the Dolby app can be removed for now?

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

:

1). Clean install your rom with no other sound mods installed. You can dirty flash your rom, but clean install (recommend) is always better (getting rid of orphan data)

2). If you're going to install another sound mod, do so before you flash mine (not recommended)

3.) Your phone needs to be rooted and SuperSU needs to be installed

4). Install the latest version of BusyBox

5). TWRP is the best recovery out there and is always recommended to be used rather than Philz/CWM/etc. Some users are experiencing trouble with errors (usually permissions) during the flashing process, this should theoretically fix that issue

6). If you're using 5.0+: download Selinux Mode Changer and set Selinux mode to permissive

7). If If you're using 5.0+: go into your rom's Developer Options and uncheck "Use NuPlayer". Some users experience compatibility issues with NuPlayer not working with V4A/Dolby, others do not. Better safe than sorry

8). Flash [TASP™] The Absolute Sound Project™ : Making Love Not War - BETA

9). Don't forget to WIPE! (cache/dalvik)

10). Reboot and enjoy the love making to your ears ? ? ? ?

Every time I flash your latest version I have Dolby FC which makes my phone (Xperia S) become laggy. If I delete 2 Dolby apps from system/app everything is OK. So, can you make your mod more compatible with Xperia phones in respect of Dolby app? Anyway, thanks for your hard work!

---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------

Agree with the lack of bass but its back in version 10. [MENTION=5357345]ahrion[/MENTION] great job with the mod the only thing is that Dolby is hit or miss so I think it is more of a compatibility issue as it doesn't force close like most apps it just closes with no notification. Nuplayer is disabled by default and SElinux is in permissive mode and Dolby been like this in every version of your mod. I tried all lollipop ROMs for Verizon GS3 except for the alpha builds and nothing.

I honestly have no idea what's wrong with dolby on your phone. . .

On my Z3C (D5803) CM12 nightly SELinux Mode Changer doesn't work. The mode doesn't stick on reboot but gets reverted to "strict" on every boot, so that sound driver could not be installed (flashing itself works though). Is there any workaround for this? Could I maybe edit some system file as root to change SELinux to permissive permanently without an app?
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
TASP 10 Vs. TASP 11 (Test Version) Part 1

Tested with the following:

1. Audio Technica ATH-ANC33iS

2. DCT Player

3. V4A on with my settings

4. MP3,AAC,FLAC, and ALAC files

Note: DCT Player has four settings DCT Only,Warm,Bright and Dynamic. I will test the mod with all four settings.

TASP 10 with DCT settings and V4A off:

I have gotten a fairly balanced sound with this setup. There is a nice bass that is strong but not dominating. The mid range sound is a little high but not recessed providing a nice sound stage. The treble is clear and detailed. Overall the mod enhances the already balanced sound of the ATH-ANC33IS.

TASP 10 with DCT Settings on and V4A off:

There is a more balanced sound with all four settings with only slight boost in each frequencies. My headphones are still balanced with both this mod and all DCT settings. There is only a negligible difference in the soundstage with the DCT settings but it is still wide soundstage. Overall the sound is amazing and DCT Player only slightly improves upon TASP sound enhancements.

TASP 10 with just V4A settings:

I was able to create the sound I want with as little settings as possible. The end result is a bright,detailed sound with a strong bass and a wide soundstage.

TASP with both DCT and V4A settings on:

Same as above but with slight variations based on which DCT setting is being used.

Conclusion:

With my setup and the sound mod the music sounds very detailed and balanced. It represented a mostly accurate depiction of the music I am listening to. Depending on your headphones and viper4android setup you will not get the same results.

Tested Beta 10 and test.zip

Hey dev tested beta 10 first....jus dirty flashed and everything worked good ....jus small prob...when opened viper music stopped for a sec and resumed and evrything worked fine.....and sound is good...warm bass n less treble....bt when i turn on dolby it was nt that gud...but ok....may be its jus me...

and dirty flashed d test zip but no sound n dolby wont open n music wont play at all.....

i l stay wid beat 10 fr now......

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

yeah beta 10 with v4a on n dolby off is nice...with warm bass....but with dolby on....it kinda bad....dnt know....

wt abt ur experience wid beta 11.....
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
1. Dolby isn't compatible with my phone which is why I didn't mention it.

2. I tested the mod as I was posting so I literally just finished testing TASP 10.

3. I just flashed TASP 11 a few minutes ago so you will have to wait for my results.
[Android Software Development] aki_007:
I just installed it over TASF 9 .

The audio is more rich in clarity (Must be due to wavesmaxx)..

Welldone Bro!!

Just one suggestion , Use SRS for bass rather than samsung lib .

soundalive gives - tight bass but rather bright whereas

with SRS - punchy bass with warm response.

[MENTION=5014976]jmxc23[/MENTION]

your logs says that system is unable to run the dolby services because of some error in verification ..

Don't know why it is showing that but I don't think Dolby is gonna work for your device on current rom .

Sorry , For I couldn't help..
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
It is like that with every lollipop ROM for my device but I am not stressing it. Dolby may likely make the sound worst for me.

Dolby works great on 4.4.4 and force closes on 5.0.2.

It just has changed position of V4A conf .... It may seem absurd but I too had that driver install issue but after flashing it V4A worked like charm ..

Driver install bug is only for those who flash TASF for the first time as the V4A couldn't find the libs conf at the same place as they were before flashing TASF (because you have kept it in alphabetical order and normally it installs at the top) and tries infinitely ...

Well I am not sure that this is the main issue with driver install but may be it is
