I'm not sure what's going on with your system, but I just tried all my other media players besides Neutron to play a FLAC file. They all worked. See screens below. I'm on Alpha 8-8.

Use the hamburger menu on the left to check driver status while playing music. See screenshot below.
[Android Software Development] ronmarccharlesms:
i don't know what to do then. i use poweramp, but only for a trial ..i tried looking into the audio_policy.conf to see some unusual things..but i can't find any.. should i reflash deut? should i change to classic look of viper (not the 2.5)? because i have tried several methods here in the thread, but nothings seems to work..
[Android Software Development] DorianX:
I have that issue when Dolby is enabled and have a lot of highs and/or Surround Virtualizer enabled, so low down the high frequencies and/or disable Surround Virtualizer
[Android Software Development] Phrodini:
Are you also using Dolby by chance? Thinking of flashing that with Dolby on a 7.1.1 RR build
[Android Software Development] docnok63:
Like I said, I've never heard of this issue before so the suggestions I give you right now are just two educated guesses. The first would be to install Duet 2.2.3 Classic Edition (uses Viper 2.3.0.4, preinstalled driver, and sono's custom setprop.) I'll attach it below. If that doesn't work, use the ViPER4Arise 2.3.4.0 Driverless Edition found inside the Extras+for+Deuteronomy.zip found on AFH. Somehow, manually selecting your own driver might fix the issue.
[Android Software Development] ronmarccharlesms:
oh ill give it a go later, then inform you about the issue..regarding the disabling of android dsp in favor of v4a, it is achieved when the mod is flashed, right?
[Android Software Development] docnok63:
Yes, it also deletes MusicFX or DSP Manager if installed on your device. This is why when you press Equalizer in Google Play Music, it automatically goes to V4A.
[Android Software Development] ronmarccharlesms:
btw i have done it already , and unfortunately, it still doesn't work. huhu..

in phonograph, it says couldn't play song, while in default music player, it crashes when playing flac files..
[Android Software Development] docnok63:
As we've already determined, it's something wrong with your device and/or ROM. But just to prove it, I downloaded Phonograph Music Player and played the same FLAC from previous screenshots.
[Android Software Development] ronmarccharlesms:
i think it has something to do about processing high res audio..in captune, the display says that it is not capable of playing such type of audio file..is there any place where i could tinker?

[Android Software Development] docnok63:
Once again, to prove it's your device/ROM, I installed CapTune. It works flawlessly. Screens below. Until you post screens showing you've tried 2.2.3 and/or the Driverless Edition, I'm going to stop replying to you.

I'm on Deut Alpha 8-8 and use Atmos. As a tester, I have AM3D installed as well, but I don't use it. Screens also below...
[Android Software Development] ronmarccharlesms:
screenshots? here, for phonograph..

for the default player i can't make a screenshot for it crashes as soon as you play flac files.. what rom are you using? aren't you on nougat as well? if it's the rom, then i might just reflash this rr rom to see if it is really the rom..regarding the device, i am able to play flac files before switching to nougat (used fulmics 6.7 and du 10.1 mm build)..
[Android Software Development] nericollin:
Set your CPU governor to on-demand and raise the max CPU frequency a bit (freq is dependant on device). Also, make sure you have the setprop pasted into the root of the SD card and you have SuperSU configured to grant permissions automatically and run on boot (these can be found in the SuperSU settings).

Then, reboot your device.
[Android Software Development] Phrodini:
Thanks for the info. Did you feel a difference in bass,clarity from the stable/final to the alpha ?
[Android Software Development] docnok63:
Now we've confirmed that it's device and/or ROM related. It has nothing to do with me having Nougat as I've been playing FLAC since I first had Viper4Android (not Arise) installed on ICS. I suggest you switch ROMs and try normal ARISE again.

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 PM ----------

All the Alphas have at least two more effects, Arkamys and ICE sound system. Personally, I couldn't tell much difference with them. Starting with Alpha 8-5, DTS was added. This was a game changer for me. The sound is incredible. Once you get it working, you'll never want anything on your phone without it.

Once you have DTS running (you'll immediately know by the sound difference), you should watch one of their official vids:

[Android Software Development] nericollin:
Okay, so after testing the latest 2.4 Alpha 8-8 on 6 different ROMs, I think I might be able to solve a large majority of users' problems here. Other members are correct in stating that ROMs are in fact the culprit when it comes to compatibility issues. However, this can be fixed. What's causing a lot of these problems is the SuperSU being baked into ROMs.

SOLUTION: After clean flashing your ROM and gapps (I recommend using open gapps) flash SuperSU version 2.76. I know what you're thinking, "That's not the latest version and I'm on Version 6.x / 7.x, etc etc". This is irrelevant. Flash 2.76 and then flash ARISE Deut 2.4 Alpha 8-8. Once your phone boots and you finished doing the your setup, go into the app store and it will prompt you to update the SuperSU .apk. Let it update. Important: Don't forget to open the SuperSU app after it updates. You will be prompted to update the binary. Accept, and when prompted upon completion, select Reboot Now.

After doing this on multiple ROMs, with Android versions ranging from the final MM releases to the latest 7.1.1 release on Nexus 6p (using December security update), I have had consistent success without any issues.

I hope that this helps. One thing to keep in mind is that I did not test on CM based ROMS. So if anyone else runs a CM based ROM and can vouch for this method, or that you're not having any issues, I know it would be greatly appreciated by others running the same setup.

-Collin

EDIT: When your device boots after updating the SuperSU binary, go back into the SuperSU app, navigate to settings, switch default access to Grant, scroll down, and Enable SuperSU On Boot. Reboot one more time, and you're good to go
[Android Software Development] vibrantliker:
Is there a Stand-alone DTS apk we can install?
[Android Software Development] Phrodini:
Good looks. I'll give the alpha a go..DTS, ice,arkamys are all in the zip file? Is Dolby in there too as extras?

Just to make sure in the steps

Just flash the 2.4 alpha 8.8 and I should be good with DTS too?

Your install was pretty straightforward, just flash?

If DTS FCs I could install it from system/app and also remove it from system/priv-app

If I run into issues with ice, just freeze it?

For Dolby as long as I'm permissive I should be good?

Or do I have to add the Dolby_YES.prop in system before flashing Dolby?

Too many questions, but just want to make sure I have an idea of what I'm doing and to make sense of some stuff I've read..thanks again
[Android Software Development] nericollin:
How are you putting FLAC files onto your device? Are you plugging your device into your PC via USB and then transferring them that way?

If I'm assuming correctly and this is the method you're using, it's likely that you've seen a prompt by Windows before the transfer starts saying something along the lines of

This type of file may not be playable on your device. Convert & Copy? or, just Copy the files?

Never select the option involving conversion. The other important thing to keep in mind when moving music from your PC to your device is to perform a Copy + Paste. Do not use Cut + Paste.

In Windows 10, especially when dealing with large file transfers (like a folder containing and album of FLAC files), performing Cut + Paste can result in issues where everything but the actual audio files will get transferred. Or, it will say that the transfer was completed when in reality it just created a glorified shortcut; meaning that the file location of your FLAC songs is still on your PC.

By no means is this THE solution, but I have avoided issues with playing FLAC files since taking into account the things I described above.

Hope this can be of some help! Let me know if any of those things help, and I'll be more than happy to stick through this until we figure out a solution.

[Android Software Development] dinaps86:
What are some of the problems this fixes
[Android Software Development] Phrodini:
Viper not processing, showing abnormal status..
[Android Software Development] nericollin:
This should fix things like force closing, Viper not processing, etc.
[Android Software Development] docnok63:
Thanks for the detailed feedback. We'll be testing this.

ARISE doesn't work like that. As of Alpha 8-8, 23 effects process through the Viper4Arise.apk so you get full, rich sound (see screens below.) The only other standalone apps are Atmos and AM3D but, once installed, also process through V4Arise.

1) Yes

2) No, there's two different versions in customize/app/atmos. Your Android version determines which one gets installed.

3) If everything processes correctly (not guaranteed), yes

4) DTS will not FC. It either processes or doesn't.

5) If you have problems with Ark or ICE, the first step is to go into Settings/App and try to delete both of their datas. If this doesn't fix Ark, freeze the app. If you don't have Viper processing, search this thread my post on what to do with icepower algo. Freezing the app also does the same thing, though.

6) Yes

7) It's atmos_YES.prop and you have to put that in /system before flashing the sound mod so that Atmos will automatically install.

If you, or anyone else have difficulties with ARISE, you're welcome to join our Telegram ARISE Support Group. :cool:
[Android Software Development] MrTapa:
Hey, after taking like 5 mins with the search tool I couldnt find the correct solution so Im just gonna write here. So Im nougat 7.0 (Oxygen OS) and i isntalled 2.4 -8.8 and its working but it cant read profiles or write them, or read irs samples. Using a file manager they dont show in data/media/0/Viper4android/. Its empty there and i cant write anything on it, however from TWRP everything seems to be in place, and also there is no legacy anymore so I really dont know whats the issue here.Thank you all
[Android Software Development] Phrodini:
Thank you for clearing things up.. I usually have no issues with arise and Dolby unless the Rom is troublesome

Plus messenger also works?
[Android Software Development] docnok63:
Search this thread for the sdcard permission fix I recently posted. If that doesn't work, Save a profile as TEST. Open up your file explorer and start a search at the root of your internal sdcard for TEST. This is your new profile save location. Move your previous DDC, Kernel and Profile folders to this new spot.

Dts is not working shows: Unsupported mime
[Android Software Development] harpin14789:
Have been using dolby ever since I switched to from MM to nougat. Viper alone is good enough for me. Dolby over processes the sound IMO.
[Android Software Development] JaylanPHNX:
Unsupported mime
[Android Software Development] docnok63:
The bigger litmus test is if you hear a

significant

change in sound compared to prior to flashing the Alpha. While the ideal output will be like the screenshots below, your output doesn't necessarily mean it's not working. Matlog is a constantly scrolling log, so the best thing to do is start fresh:

1) Reboot device.

2) Open recent apps and clear all.

3) Open Matlog and let log start scrolling.

4) Start playing music. Switch back to Matlog.

5) Use the magnifying glass to separately filter for Arkamys, DTS, and/or ICEsound

Notes:

a) Arkamys will never have a yellow status with the company name. If you've got blue, you're good to go.

b) If your phone is connected to an external DAC, each effect will take Viper several times to communicate with the DAC before settling down. This is normal. See last screenie.

c) If you notice my DTS screenie, you see that it goes from yellow to mime unsupported as I described above

Before anyone asks, you can get Matlog from the Play Store.

[Android Software Development] :
I see. Well, I certainly want to prevent bootloops. I'd like to get a chance to isolate this issue so ARISE on M8 could be workable, as I formerly (briefly) operated on M8 and I see it has the potential to contend with M9 and certainly HTC 10 sound-wise if it's tweaked right.

But for now, may I add to our FAQ-in-progress that HTC M8 users with Boomsound may experience bootloops, and can I get confirmation that the workaround is to use HK?

Alright guys, I'm back. I've been experimenting with some things but nothing seemingly worthwhile or useful for the project.

You guys have had a couple days to test the latest test builds so what's the consensus at this point for best build? What's the status of any issues with these builds?

I'm so ready for this weekend. I'll have plenty of time to prepare a stable build using all of your feedback. :good:

[Android Software Development] JellyTooth:
well 0.9.2 sounded so good , but 0.9.3 and 0.9.3.1 seems dull and lifeless something is wrong about them , dynamic bass is reduced too

(i test these on base audio settings without any tweaks or presets)
[Android Software Development] meleelord:
0.8.8 or 0.8.9 over here for best build.
[Android Software Development] Lucki_X:
I have no choice. For me its work only 0.8.2, 0.8.10 and 0.9.x with no other problems in my system nevertheless 0.8.2 has the best quality of sound for me with guitardedhero's tweak.prop from 0.9.x. [emoji6] [emoji1]

Thanks for your great work.

Sent from PLK-TL01H
[Android Software Development] :
0.8.9 for me all the way. In addition to it being the last build that works (for me) with Dolby ON, its sound profile has tons of headroom and clarity so I'm able to have a desirable sound without running into clipping or distortion anywhere.

If there was an 0.9 build that solved the Dolby issue I'm experiencing I'd happily test with that one going forward, but for now I too am very ready for the weekend and I'd like to listen with what I have set up for a couple days.

Hope this helps. :good:
[Android Software Development] dingermtb:
All good for me, but I too REALLY liked 8.9?

[Android Software Development] williwood:
0.8.2 has the best highs. 0.8.4 & 0.8.5 were a great step for the mids. But the deeps (deep tones or woofer? (sometimes Google is helpless, too) ) were to weak.

0.8.8 makes fun. It feels round but left me missing something, that I found with 0.8.9. But 0.8.9 is a kind of to sensible. It only sounds genius, if the music fits.

0.8.10 is the whole mix of the best out of the 0.8x century. Especially the mids makes the sound very rounded.

The advantage of 0.8.10 is its flexibility. If tweaks or presets, everything works and feels good. We Get the ability to transform Exodus to our desire. I mean, everybody can choose a combination for their hardware and music.

With the arriving in the present of the 0.9x, I'm unhappy. Between the mids and the deep tunes seams to be a gap.

On the other hand the bass never sounded so elaborate. Sadly the 0.9th don't sounded round.

Thumbs up for 0.8.10. It's my favorite.
[Android Software Development] Joy Bangla:
Do i have to flash the Exodus preset or is it enabled by default?

[Android Software Development] docnok63:
Please check a few pages back where I posted a couple threads where you can check for custom DDCs and even request a new one be made for your headphones.

I'm not current with the status of Android Pay vs systemless root (I use old-fashioned system root.) You could try SR5 and still run ARISE.
[Android Software Development] ronmarccharlesms:
Thank you for that methodical approach. i was thinking the same thing (though i never do copy and convert, nor cut+paste). it was maybe due to the transfer of music, given that as you said, the files were too large..im going to look into it later. and btw, it can be played on poweramp and neutron (given that they have their own dsp). so, yeah..ill just try it anyway..thank you :)
[Android Software Development] docnok63:
1) No. Your ARISE is not processing even though you're playing music. This indicates something is wrong. Please list your device/Android version/ARISE version you are trying to flash/If any previous builds of ARISE worked for you

2) Not much. The whole point of using ARISE is to modify the sound to your liking. It will take a while, but you'll get it. There's several profiles to choose from in the first few posts.
[Android Software Development] ext23:
1. Actually I wasn't playing music. It switches to 'processing=yes" whenever I'm playing something.

2. But there is a difference, even without enabling effects?
[Android Software Development] docnok63:
1) Oh, I thought the top left icon was a player I didn't recognize (but now that I look again, it might be FB Messenger, LOL)

2) What does your ears tell you? Probably not much. You need to get familiar with the ARISE interface to improve the quality significantly.

Eventually got working......maybe?....

So I installed Leviticus from the opening post and all seemed ok but I'm not happy with ok, I want the best and it seems this gets better and better with each iteration so after flashing Deut Alpha 8-5, messing with that for ages, flashing 8-7 and again messing with that and eventually got processing yes! (the Ice Arga sound effect delete fix) I flashed 8-8 and again, eventually got processing yes.

1 question so far, I've noticed that Surround doesn't process in Atmos over Bluetooth. Is that because earlier in the thread it was mentioned that Dolby disabled this in their apk a long time ago or do I have an issue somewhere?
[Android Software Development] jfodra:
I already have. I flashed alpha 6-8 version because at the time, i didn't have internet to download the latest one. Flashed it then smjaytee toolbox. Error on arkham something, froze it on titanium and then all good. Using it now and it sounds fantastic. :)
