Are you using tweak.prop? The two following lines can cause this behavior if they're in place on RC8.1/2/3/4/5/6 on a Sense M9:

audio.dolby.ds2.enabled=true

audio.dolby.ds2.hardbypass=true

Check your build.prop, make sure these lines are either removed or commented out with # and reboot. Hope this helps. :good:

This is the report I was most looking forward to and am absolutely elated to have finally got you sorted! I sincerely appreciate your patience and hanging in there with me as it would have been understandable to see you move on to something that actually worked for you. Your persistence in making this fully functional for you will allow others the convenience of a bug-free experience as a result of your well-spent frustration. :highfive:

There is a large subset that wants nothing more than for us to disappear. After weeks of many different attempts at dismantling this project, they simply are running out of options to achieve their goal. It's a head-scratcher for sure, I never anticipated anything like this possibly happening when starting the project and it certainly feels weird to face personal attacks and insults after all these years as a user that had avoided any such behavior until now. I'm just hoping that this subset eventually gets bored and uninterested in this project and the individuals move on to something that is productive and positive in their lives. :good:

ephexxis, no dice. Same thing; popping/stuttering as soon as another music stream plays.

HOWEVER, [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] and I were talking on another thread. I might be closer to figuring this out. See the post starting from here on down.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67523952&postcount=3328

Someone this morning suggested I change the big cluster governor to Performance, and what do you know, no popping/stuttering on a clean build with no V4A. I am going to try V4A now.

ephexxis, I've been paying attention to your posts because you use Neutron Music Player, as do I, and the technical information you provide has been both enlightening and very close to my own experiences.

Is the issue you're having with OpenSL ES that it pops/stutters, and is generally slower than JNI even though it's supposed to be the other way around? What phone and ROM do you run?

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but here it goes. On my nexus 5x, I've been on 0.9.9.5-3 for a while now and it's been fantastic. Had the exodus preset, guitardedhero tweakprop, dolby on, the works. I've since clean flashed my rom and tried out RC 8.6 with the same settings and the sound was worse than stock. Absolutely no bass, treble was weak, and the only thing that stood out was the vocalists and some mid range. I know a lots changed between these versions but for me, sound quality was sacrificed for compatibility. Guess I'll be sticking with 0.9.9.5-3 for now.
[Android Software Development] chikimonke:
You're probably missing something then, as 8.6 sounds as good as ever. Did you check that it was processing? Also, you say you're using the same settings as before, does that include tweak.prop and preset? (did we have different presets back then? I don't even remember) What exactly did you install with 8.6?
[Android Software Development] luigidk:
Why would anyone want this to disappear? Geez, if something doesn't work for you - ignore it.

Haven't been here for a while - was waiting for the PN rebase and wanted to start with a new V4A install.

I went with RC8.2 w Atmos. Couple comments:

1) I LOVE the installer - great stuff - really great stuff! (I had no idea an installer was working!)

2) sound is great - I've always liked Atmos - so all good.

3) I'm having an issue with all my sounds (ringtones, notifications) being too loud and I can't turn them down.

Other than that - all is good.

I tried the JBL+Xplay3 preset. But upon checking the log.txt it still reports Exodus. So I don't know which effect is in use. But still it sounds good ?, feels like they are singing beside me? . But I cannot know for sure if xplay or exodus is the one in effect.

RC8.7 appears to contain no presets at all - GH has not confirmed this but as of now a few of us on the Team have looked at or flashed 8.7 and all I can tell ya isall signs point to 8.7 at the least being an experiment in removing presets, however keep in mind this is speculation based on the zips and their sound, not anything coming from GH - we haven't heard from him either :p

Hope that helps anyone trying to flash 8.7 until the man himself is here to speak on it

- ARISE
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
It's either one or both of the following:

Empty .conf file(s) in either /system/etc or /vendor/etc

deep_buffer in audio_policy.conf or audio_outout_policy.xml in either /system/etc or /vendor/etc.

Marshmallow or N?

:good:

Was this after a flash of an updated rom? This has been a common report that recently started and was tested by flashing an earlier build of that rom. Let me know what you find. :good:

Hey old friend! :highfive:

It might be the K4 Atmos in that build. You'll likely have the best results by simply lowering the Output Gain at he very bottom of v4a's Speaker tab to -14dB or even lower if necessary. That's what I always do on my Nexus 6. :good:

:highfive:

Which log.txt exactly?

Lol, I know, that's the worst part of a lengthy testing phase! Ive actually been doing a pretty concise changelog for the last couple builds.

The truth is, I think providing changelogs during a testing phase is a terrible idea unless a new test build is focused on an issue for users to test and report feedback. Changelogs, if nothing else, create an elaborate and focused bias before ever hearing the build for the first time. This makes it impossible for me to receive quick and honest reports if I'm testing for SQ enhancement or degradation.

For example, a test build a few weeks back had 13 bass libraries added among other things. Obviously, bass SQ enhancement or degradation was the main thing I was testing with that particular build. Providing a changelog stating the addition of 13 bass libraries would have skewed the reports substantially, I have no doubt. Stable updates will always include a complete changelog. I'm just a little peculiar in how I like to operate. I feel I maximize everyone's and my time this way. :good:

I suspect deep_buffer in audio_policy.conf or audio_output_policy.xml.

Marshmallow or N?

Deleting the three Editors folders in /system/app usually yields almost 300MB of space. :good:

---------- Post added at 11:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 PM ----------

RC8.7 is especially focused on HTC. Try it after flashing your rom and report back when convenient. :good:

Have you tried RC8.7 yet? Let me know what you think. :good:

[Android Software Development] harpin14789:
Ah, I see what you saying. Makes sense! Thanks for clarifying. :)
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
I realize that I didn't pay enough attention to your question. The surest way is to do the following after deciding what to delete from /system/app:

Boot to recovery

Mount > System

Advanced > File Manager

Navigate to /system/app

Tap > Delete > Swipe each folder you want deleted

Mount > uncheck System

Reboot

Release Candidate 8.8​

I flashed RC8.7 and couldn't get the K4 Atmos Add-On to not FC and ended up fixing it by some edits to script and using the apk's from ahrion's 1.2 port.

More debloat.

Removed libsonydseehxwrapper.so since I think it does nothing for the sound system. This eliminates the need for Xperia compatible builds.

Updated tweak.prop's.

Lots of small script edits.

:good:
[Android Software Development] ephexxis:
no not at all in fact the abnormality doesnt directly affect my sound quality at all. it does indirectly though. Basically if i route neutrons output through Open SL ES, viper gets blocked from processing, and so its just neutron and mod effects. the other weird thing is that during this abnormality, both of my reported latencies, either OPENSL or audiotrack are double what they normally show. however, using audiotrack grants full viper functionality and the only thing after that that bothers me is the "latency" i believe it's rendering my spectrum analyzer in neutron useless because it lags so bad. given what i learned about AT(JNI) being a method which allows java to interact with low level assembly and c code, when i get off work im going to look for what java related stuff these new versions have baked in. though, i don't see how it affects viper this way... hmm
[Android Software Development] Jarheadflip:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] still no sound on htc 10 will try 8.8 once i get a chance
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
Please do, I suspect it was the delete Ds.apk section that I was unaware was in the installation script after testing for increased compatibility of ahrion's K4 Atmos port that did not help but was inadvertently left in the script. Obviously, flash your rom before flashing RC8.8 which I'm sure you will. :good:
[Android Software Development] :
Will this work now not fc's with the nexus 6p? Will I still delete the .conf files?
[Android Software Development] diegobn:
Hi [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] I believe there's too much clarity both on 8.6 and 8.7 because I noticed subtle distortions on high frequencies (more evident if Viper's clarity is turned on and the more it's pumped up the more you get them) and "new" Dolby always FCs.

I'm trying 8.8 (you are so fast I can't keep up with flashing!), will report on that as soon as I will be done with testing.

Thank you for your work and consider this: the more your work is good the more you get visible and the more you're hated from the wannabes that can get to your level. But on my opinion that's a sign that you're doing good so use any mean to protect what you've accomplished and go on without paying them attention, eventually they'll isolate in their envy.

edit: listening to 8.8 in this very moment, distortions went away! :good: but Dolby still FCs

Correct me: possibile cause could be

1 deep buffer (but it's the runme.sh)

2 wrong lines in conf files (tried to check but I'm not done)

3 what else?

:confused:
[Android Software Development] colinmcg71:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] I don't know if you know but one of your irs files included in every ARISE zip has a .wav extension. I just change it to .irs myself and all's good.

RC8.8 K4 Dolby Atmos GUI add on still FCs on Nexus 6P (latest PureNexus).

Permissive kernel, storage permission granted for both app & service. Tried install as user app too.

Still no go.

Thanks all the same, willing to try anything you suggest.
[Android Software Development] ephexxis:
my bad bruv, like i said it was just the first one i saw
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
It should, though it is possible that the presence of deep_buffer may keep it from working and Permissive Selinux is still required for it to function. Also be sure to enable Storage Permissions for both Dolby apps in Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System. Also, disable MusicFX, reboot, and do the following:

In Google Play Music:

Settings > Equalizer > Dolby Atmos > Just Once

Allow Dolby Atmos to either open or Force Close

Reboot

This should allow Dolby Atmos to write its entries in /data/data/com.android.musicfx/shared_prefs/musicfx.xml.

Check your audio_policy.conf or audio_output_policy.xml for any instance of deep_buffer or DEEP_BUFFER. :good:

I appreciate the support and am absolutely focused, no more distractions! The Dolby information above applies to you as well. :good:

Impulse Response Samples are almost always provided in WAVE format and will load and work properly in v4a's Convolver. :good:
[Android Software Development] colinmcg71:
Ah, gotcha.

It's just that with the .wav extension they show up as a playable track by 'unknown artist' in my music player app.
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
Ensure that SoundCloud processes through v4a properly and try deleting data through both Dolby apps' App Info pages and reboot. :good:

---------- Post added at 03:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 AM ----------

Yes, that is certainly annoying as hell lol! I keep a .nomedia file in my /ViPER4Android/Kernel folder to prevent that. That just made me think about including .nomedia in my Audiophile profile, thank you for bringing that up! :good:

I need to delete the .conf files. I'm on permissive see linux. I'll try and report back.
[Android Software Development] colinmcg71:
Nice one! .nomedia file placed in kernel folder :)

v4a not processing for SoundCloud.

Deep Buffer has been removed from system/etc/audio_policy.conf. It wasn't present in vendor/etc/audio_output_policy.conf.

Data cleared on both Dolby apps.

Reboot.

Unfortunately Dolby still FCs.

I found that deleting the 'raw' paragraph in system/etc/audio_policy.conf gets v4a processing both SoundCloud and TuneIn Radio.

Best sound mod i have used to date. Flashed over some other audio mods.Works great. Differance is immediate.Confused with the tweak.prop though. Copied one of the preset tweak files to sd root and flashed tweakprop.zip as instructed.I see new entries in the build.prop but not the ones in the tweakprop i had. Is this supposed to be like this? I flashed smeejay's prop.In the txt file it had G5 and V10 lines but they dont show in the build.prop after i flash tweakprop.zip. should i just add the lines manually?

I manually added some build lines from one of the presets.Is this correct or do i need to remove the hashes?

Note 4 w/S7 MM rom
[Android Software Development] diegobn:
Sadly I'm on Samsung's Note 3 and MusicFX isn't there, so all the procedure is meaningless.

Samsung's implementation of default sound effect app is SoundAlive, which I turned off a while ago because it's called automatically by Spotify on the app start (even if the user is not using it) and it FCs a few times before stopping harassing me.

I don't have deep buffer references anywhere and custom kernel is set permissive by default.

I also tried to install the Dolby apps as user app. :confused::confused:

edit I didn't found audio_output_policy.xml, nor in etc neither in vendor/etc

From there all I do is flash back to the restore point I made before starting arise8.7 and when I flashed that one...and then the other two behind it...i got a /system unable to mount or something...error...... I got and error!! Lmao
