[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] [D4v3|R4v3]:
Thanks, that sounds pretty promising. Let's hope it really manages to record distortion free sound, specially in clubs.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
I just use the headphones that came with my m9 and use the Dolby sound with them. Best stock sound set up I have ever had (v4a on the m8 with Harmon kardon was immense). Knowing that the ten and it's hi-res headphones are going to blow the m9 out of the water, this makes me very happy indeed.

BTW any Sammy spammers here? It was the ****e sound on your precious s7 and having to turn the volume right up to get even close to the quality of my year old m9 at just over half volume that sealed that glassy piece of craps fate muahahahahAHHH
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] vegetaleb:
Yep one of the (many) reasons I don't get a S7 is because of poor audio, after all these years of boomsound and beats samsung never took Audio seriously
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Lol I was horrified at it when I first heard it. That was the deal breaker for me.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] richteralan:
USB-C spec already states it can transport analog audio.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/10273...-cables-to-connect-headsets-to-mobile-devices

Therefore tests are needed to determine what type of signal HTC 10 does with its USB-C.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexp999:
That was only published yesterday as a proposal, so no chance it will be in HTC 10.

Good news for the future though, gets rid of another connector on the device.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] richteralan:
You are right. I read and thought the new "Audio Accessories" class is new in the proposal, but the analog audio using sideband is already present in current USB3.1 specifications.

For now we are only getting digital audio. I can already see a new flood of DAC earphones on the horizon with tons of new ad-words plus outrageous price tag.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DoKaTSuYa:
Is the HTC 10 compatible Apt-X HD like the LG G5 or it's the old Apt-X generation ?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Haldi4803:
Hell yeah!

I've lost my earphones on the way and then bought some at the 100yen store.

Used these with my Wiko Lenny 2. Sound was Bad. Then when I got my HTC 10 I plugged them because they were laying around. BOOM.

Awesome sound.

Next day I used the HTC earphones that came with the device.

Damn... Drum n Bass sounds so awesome. Even though I'd have to say it's a little bit to much bass.

Haven't done the long setup yet. Just used the quick survey.

They need to figure out how to do some horn loading on a phone. If I worked for htc we would have horn loaded boomsound baby!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ricardo_G:
the headphones experience in the HTC 10 is very good (QC 25 plus poweramp), the music sound with the speakers is good ( not so loud like M8), but the ringtone sound is TERRIBLE. Only sound in the lower speaker and it sound muffled and very very low.... disappoiting
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] brucethemoose:
That's likely a software bug that they'll fix at some point.

Anyone got a good poweramp setting, I can't find a good setting without it losing clarity
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ndaoud360:
I used to use to use poweramp to up the volume. I used the increase volume preset then increased the 1st slider bar to it's max for more volume but after getting root/s-off I use Viper4Android and the sound is much better and louder/fuller.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gsw5700:

How does the 10 sound over Bluetooth?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] GermanGuy:
What are your V4A speaker settings and which flashable zip did you use for V4A?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ndaoud360:
Here you go
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
Could you or anyone else share what you did to get V4A to work?

When I installed I couldn't get convolver to work. Did you remove /system/etc/HTC_audio_effects.conf?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ndaoud360:
Flash one or all of these. I don't remember what I flashed. Lol
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
So convolver does work for you? Also are you running in compatibility mode?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ndaoud360:
I read that I should run in compatibility mode but I don't have it on. I believe convolver works for me
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] chdloc:
Like some other folks on this thread and elsewhere, I'm really interested in which codec is being used in the HTC 10, but I have not been able to find any reliable information online. Maybe someone with an HTC 10 on hand can help and shed some light on this. There are a few clues we could use to pin this down. In an adb shell, execute the following commands and post the results:

cat /proc/asound/cards

and

find /sys -name '*snd*'

Also, please post your /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml file

Does flashing these affect Android Pay?

Update: I flashed V4A and Android Pay still works.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Anyone have the older 2.3.4.0 build working on the HTC 10? I remember running 2.4.0.1 on my Note5 and the audio quality was inferior to the older version in nearly every way. I'm getting ready to unlock and flash my phone now so that I can get V4A and decent volume output over Play Music and Android Auto.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] @home:
Having just done a back to back comparison, Poweramp is better than black player, I used WMA files & Kilpsch X10 earphones.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Deadeye*:
Does any one experience sound cutting off for a split second when using Boomsound on poweramp? It happens on headphones out
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
I've got V4A 2.3.4.0 running on Viper10 1.1.0, only had to flash one file: VIPERAudio 4.7.1 Stock (source thread by [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION])

The High Quality driver is loaded by default, if you want to lower it, just uninstall driver/reboot/install driver again.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] GermanGuy:
Awesome! This finally worked!

Edit: I noticed however that, after install of V4A, you cannot switch between theater and music mode anymore.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
I can still switch from within Settings. I should also note that I am only using V4A for Bluetooth, since Play Music on Android Auto is dreadfully low compared to other music apps.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mosincredible:
Does it work though? In settings, I could switch but the sound doesn't change. Also, even after uninstalling Viper (Stock 5.4), BoomSound remains broken. I had to restore system image and reroot to get it working again. Minor fix. Don't know if there was an easier way but that was a quick enough.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
You are correct. On further testing, the BoomSound toggle does not seem to work any longer. However the custom headphones profile does still work if you have one of them set up.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
I still get a noticeable effect toggling between theater and music mode with V4A installed. Which HTC fix zip are you guys using?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] @home:
Has anyone tried this device with Poweramp?

With all the inbuilt phone sound settings & without?

How does it sound? What's it like compared to the stock music player?

Ta
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
I didn't flash any HTC Fix. Just the package I linked to above. Which one did you flash to maintain the different modes?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] GermanGuy:
I thought there is only one version of the HTC fix zip file around. The one that is posted on this forum is the one that I used. However I still have the problem with theater mode and music note not working anymore although I can select them but there's no noticeable sound difference
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jimbob_sf:
I've got a DragonFly Red, JitterBug, Moon Audio Black Dragon cable, and JH Audio JH7 IEMs running on my G3 and a pile of USB C stuff and a SanDisk 128gb U3 card sitting on my desk to get working when my Sunshined 10 arrives today. USB Audio Player Pro is my go-to for the no-contest best driver for external DACs. Yes, those toys are about double the cost of the phone, but the sound is insane with FLAC and DSD files.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=66996528
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Thanks. Probably just the Fix zip since the other two are both full V4A installers.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
OK, so I flashed the fix file, but BoomSound is still the same with headphones whether on of off. Unless I have the custom profile setup. Then I can hear a difference. Tried the speakers, and no difference there either.

Which ZIPs did you flash and in which order?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] GermanGuy:
Let us know whether it worked for you. Did not work for me.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
I flashed the zip installer (neon convolvers) then the HTC fix zip. Make sure you uninstall drivers before reinstalling
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
OK, I did not reinstall them. So is this what you did?

Flash Neon

Flash HTC Fix

Uninstall Driver

Reboot

Install Driver

Reboot

And BoomSound still works?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
I didn't reinstall after the installation zip.

- uninstall all previous v4a traces

- flash installation zip

- flash HTC fix zip

And it worked, drivers were installed via the zip installation
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
OK, so my issue may be from installing the first V4A that I did. I'll clean install my ROM later today and try again.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
Yeah I had a hard time removing the first installation. If you installed it as a system app just make sure you delete /system/priv-app/v4a folder.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Trying a dirty flash first. Viper formats /system/ during install, so all traces appear to be gone. I'll do a clean install from home tonight if it doesn't work this way.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Dirty flash worked great!

With all traces of V4A removed, I flashed the Neon + Fix files. BoomSound toggles perfectly and convolver works as well.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
Nice work :good:

I'm not sold on the headset quality from v4a over stock just yet. It adds a little background static so not sure what's causing that. But it makes definite improvements to the speakers.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Yeah I only want it for Bluetooth streaming through my car stereo. Play Music on Android Auto is too low compared to other music apps.

The static seems to be related to 2.4.0.1. I've seen several people report it since the new version came out.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] GermanGuy:
Finally got it to work properly. Thank you guys.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
I tried a mishmash of ZIPs to get 2.3.4.0 working, since I'm convinced the audio quality is better on the older one. I got it working on Viper 1.2.0, and BoomSound toggling still works as well. But I may have broken the personalized earphone profile, since I can no longer hear a difference when I toggle it off/on.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
OK, disregard part of that last post. I flashed back to Viper without V4A, and the HTC Earphone profile still isn't working, so I didn't break that part with my ZIP.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] steelmaggot:

I love Audio with the 10, the only thing I didn't like is the quiet BT volume, dunno perhaps we are so pampered by the loud 3.5mm output that I found the BT to be quiet, I tried it on both HTC Car Stereoclip and Mpow Magneto, I think I will have to root my 10 some day to use V4A and unleash extra db for Bt
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gsw5700:
Strange, I found blackplayer ex to offer better sound than PowerAmp, also tried playerpro. Poweramp simply not clear.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] @home:
What audio files did you use with Poweramp & what earphones?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gsw5700:
I used a couple of standard mp3 files using Jays Heavy Bass earphones (which I think sound better than the HTC supplied earphones)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] @home:
That could be your problem. I used WMA & Flac with Poweramp & black player, Poweramp all the way. MP3 files just don't cut it anymore.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ahrion:
I was able to get Am3dzene Audio Effects, Dolby Atmos, Viper4Android, and HTC Dolby to play nicely with one another one my 10. I was even able to add a user interface to HTC's Dolby. You can configure the new UI/Settings with Speaker and Bluetooth. Before you could only configure it with Headphones.

Oh. And I did this all with systemless root.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
I wouldn't try for too much. That'll make it a b***h to troubleshoot when it doesn't work for someone. Personally I think the HTC 10 only needs V4A + Dolby to get the most out of Bluetooth.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jarheadflip:
Has anyone tried to get arise sound systems exodus working on the ten
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
Those using V4A with high quality headphones, do you hear a low static/hissing noise? During quite parts of a song, while audio is playing.

No matter what settings I try in V4A I can't get it to go away. Even just turning on the master headset toggle and not touching anything else, lowing gain to -8db, still quiet hissing.

Been talking with the fellows in the V4A thread and no one else is experiencing it on devices other than this one.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jhericurls:
Yes and it's very annoying. Doesn't happen over BT just wired.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ahrion:
If you heard how it sounded with Atmos + HTC Dolby + Am3dAudioEnhancement + V4A then you would understand.

I have the Dash Bragi wireless earbuds and they were sub par until I used this setup. No lie, the best sound you've ever heard.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spongeworthy:
Why would you ever use V4A with quality headphones especially with the HTC 10? It'll just screw up the audio quality, and add noise.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jauhien:

I like V4A for the 10 band eq. Like the surround effects too. They sounded perfect on my m8. Also I listen to a lot of Spotify over my own music.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] zolom:
Enhance sound quality for straming

I intend to purchase the HTC 10. I listen to a lot of hard rock/metal/jazz via my Shure SE846 IEMs, mostly Streaming via SPOTIFY.

Till now all my android phones were rooted and installed with v4A.

A new email exchange security policy (where I work) prevent me from rooting and even enabling USB debugging. Now I cannot install sound modes (e.g. V4A).

Any recommendation for a sound equalizer/mode that can be installed without root and still provide SQ enhancement on the HTC 10?

Note: I need it to support Spotify.

I had a very bad experience with the Noozxoide Eizo Pro on S7 Edge

Thanks
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jhericurls:
I listen to 95% of my music via Spotify. Without V4A music sounds very flat on the HTC 10.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Are you required to use a specific app for email? I got around the Exchange policy at my work by using MailWise. There's a special "Exchange Bypass" code you can enter during account creation and it will essentially trick the phone into thinking the policy is being enforced. I used it with my Galaxy S5 because fingerprint wasn't permitted under the policy and I didn't want to use a PIN.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] zolom:
Thanks

Its another policy (vnware) whuch cannot be bypassed. Although fingerprint is enabled. So no root for me :(

Can I use different HTC 10 sound profiles to configure or extend bass a bit (more punchier) thus overcome the flat sound signature via earphones.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mosincredible:
Yes. I cheated the system and told it I could easily hear the bass tones with 1 bar on the listening test which made it give me a curve reducing bass. If you turn the first 2 tones (lower tones) up to near max, it'll think you need more bass and give you that curve.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
Yeah what he said. The tone test it gives you is just an annoying way of setting a 5 band EQ. But it doesn't give any help for a subbass boost. The lowest tones are well above subbass level and give more of a mid bass to low mid boost. It is a fantastic EQ for what it's designed to do though. A good V shaped sounding headphone helps.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cavist:
Everybody noticed how top speaker is way to quiet comparing to bottom bass speaker? In Black Player EX to balance the both speakers even I need to lower the bottom speaker to about 15-20% to have them both at about same level.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] -4ndr01d-:
so, to get v4a 2.3.4.0 working WITH the boomsound toggles....

-reboot to recovery

-flash the single file: VIPERAudio 4.7.1 Stock form this post

-flash this file: V4A_HTC_effects_fix.zip from this post

-reboot and profit?

running latest version of viper10
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ahrion:
I went ahead and made a V4A (MK mod) universal zip. It allows you to install on BOTH systemless root and system root. It also patches your ALL of your audio effects files (see below) rather than completely replacing the audio effect config. Idk why people do that because it breaks other audio mods. Yes it works with boomsound.

I hate when vendors have several audio_effects.conf. HTC has etc/audio_effects.conf, etc/htc_audio_effects.conf, and vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf. Why the hell does anyone need 3 of them?!

If there's a high demand I will go ahead and make my own thread and include Am3dZirene audio and atmos.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] -4ndr01d-:
what version of viper4android is this? apparently the older (2.3.4.0) sounds a lot better than the new
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ahrion:
It sounds the same. I think you may be experiencing the placebo effect.

But it's 2.4.0.1.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
2.4.0.1 only has one driver, whereas 2.3.4.0 has multiple choices. The former High Quality driver is no longer available in the new release.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ahrion:
That's because the new default driver is the Super High Quality.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Freak07:
Please open a thread. I'm curious as how atmos will sound on this device. When applying atmos do we loose the boom sound option for the custom headphone profiles?

If you want to you can also send me a working atmos file via pm or I'd appreciate it too if you could post it.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ahrion:
Why does everything think they'll lose boomsound? The reason why you will lose boomsound with a variety of mods is because the mods are lazily coded to replace your audio effects files rather than patching them appropriately. Which is probably why boomsound breaks.

It takes more time to make the scripts, but dramatically improves compatibility.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Freak07:
Well I didn't take a deeper look to be honest but tried zero infinity's mod for the htc 10 and although I had atmos the boom sound option was gone. Personally it wouldn't be bad to lose boom sound just the custom headphone option is quite nice I feel. Thanks for your explanation!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] JWhetstone02:
I am running Viper and I just flashed this MOD. Everything works as should. Boomsound and it's toggles work perfect. Even after applying V4A, everything works. Extremely happy ?

Like others mentioned, the older version offered multiple drivers. To me, the high quality was my go to as the super high quality produced some noise and hissing in between the sounds. But so far, this one is working well. Thanks!
