Used same IRS files in Sauron and Viper, used same equalizer in Sauron as well as Viper. Still Sauron is a hit and Viper is a ****.

If viper isn't an effect. Then its should be similar to what Sauron is, but still Sauron is a hit and Viper is a ****.

Never used DDC setting and any other useless stuff by myself except for presets in the zip.

Bass booster was better but low treble was useless.

At last I tried to make MANUAL ADJUSTMENT and still Sauron was a hit and Viper is a ****.

If you want that crap forget Sauron. That's nowhere in competition.

At last I tried to make SIMILAR MANUAL ADJUSTMENT and still Sauron was a hit and Viper is a ****.

If you want that crap forget Sauron. That's nowhere in competition. Go and advertise for that crap somewhere else.

Even a kid will tell there is no Dolby preset. You don't need to make me understand that. Instead you should get to know I DOWNLOADED A ZIP CONTAINING FEW PRESETS WHICH WERE CRAP EVEN MODIFYING THEM WAS A BAD IDEA AS VIPER IS STILL A CRAP.
[Android Software Development] uudruid74:
Sauron doesn't use IR files, JamesDSP does. When referring to software by name, you should get the name right. Perhaps your IR files were at the wrong sample rate for hour device. JamesDSP detects this and resamples, Viper just does as you tell it. If you are using the app wrong, that's your own fault.

I know you downloaded a ZIP, stop yelling and berating people and other projects. Such behavior is NOT allowed on XDA. Take it somewhere else. Get rid of the double-posts and flooding my email as well. The ZIP you downloaded isn't Viper! Those presets are what some other user came up with. You don't like them, make your own.

By your own admission, you only used the presets in the ZIP, which were designed for some other person's preferences and some other person's headphones. That's not Viper's fault.

Please keep your comments constructive. And FYI, Sauron and Viper work fine together. I use Viper until JamesDSP allows better control over the intensity of the reverb (I use it with headphones to simulate room acoustics) and adds the equivalent of Viper's clarity enhancer (I use it in the car). Both allow the Joe Meeks IR that I use. Otherwise, the two apps are very similar.

i tought when reflashing it again for the second time ainur will be uninstalled.
[Android Software Development] mehrshad.shafaghi:
Same here, I have a 2GB RN3 running ABC oreo.

I bet it's working, the sound texture changes after I flash it. Dumpsys media.audio_flinger also confirms that dirac lib is in use. However that "stopped working" message after boot is so annoying.

---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

By "second time" he means that after installing Sauron, if you want to apply user options you reflash the zip 2 times [more]. Once for uninstalling and the other one for installing using the new useroptions
[Android Software Development] uudruid74:
The notification is really a good thing. Apps that display a notification won't be killed by the OS.
[Android Software Development] Gilfreitas:
exactly for this reason, even not using it is there spending battery.
[Android Software Development] uudruid74:
No. The notification doesn't use battery. Apps won't use CPU until called to do something.

Its like your email. It can display a message that you have new mail, but won't actually be doing anything until new mail comes in
[Android Software Development] uudruid74:
I'm having a weird issue. I just tried a game called Darkness Rises and the audio was choppy - sounds like constant buffer underruns. I'm tunning Liquid Remix (known to be well optimized) on a OnePlus 3T. I tried using different governors, including performance mode, with no change.

I had Sauron, Viper, and AML installed, all via Magisk. Phone did not have headphones in and Viper was turned off - no processing of any kind. Upon turning off all audio mods and rebooting, the issue went away.

Is there anything in Sauron that might cause this?

Thanks
[Android Software Development] jilx:
This problem ... Long ago . needed to be address almost all games like starlink,data wing etc........ Are produce stupid loosy sounds

Problem can solved by uninstalling viper I think viper driver issue on Oreo

Devs must check why .. I tested lots of devices with viper /James DSP both alone and combined (aml) Still there
[Android Software Development] bick:
Not sure about any games, but I found Magisk produced choppy FLACs, but SuperSU was ok.
[Android Software Development] gehess:
No problems with FLACs (or any other format) here, Magisk or otherwise, and tested on multiple ROMs.
[Android Software Development] nericollin:
I've actually never heard of this issue until now. Are they saying that playback has a lot of stuttering or something?

This sounds like it is more related toeitbsr the media player being used, or the kernel settings.

Sometimes, when using certain audio effects / mods, the buffer size needs to be increased in order for playback to go smoothly. Another thing that can solve this issue is to change the CPU governor to ondemand so that it processes all the audio and audio effects in real-time (which some governors are not very good at).
[Android Software Development] cybugz:
I never encountered choppy audio on stock settings, No audio mod or audio app used.
[Android Software Development] :
Viper is the culprit I'm sure. I had choppy audio throughout several different games with Viper.
[Android Software Development] Gurkanwal Chauhan:
Yeah it's viper . I too had choppy sounds using it. Maybe due to it's high processing and ram usage
[Android Software Development] jilx:
This is only on Flacs (in game assets) if it mp3 or aac etc No problem.

This very clear viper driver does not handling flacs properly
[Android Software Development] Bart93pl:
Hello ;)

I have installed the Ainur, AML and Viper and everything works but whenever my phone (mi mix 2) makes a sound (let's say a sound when you press a button or I receive an SMS) there is a 3-5 seconds loud buzz noise coming from the speaker right after the actual sound ends. I can live with that but it is strange and irritating. Any ideas please?
[Android Software Development] bick:
The problem I had with choppy FLACs was with HTC10: NO audio mods like Viper (with or without Ainur made no difference), all players.........but only with Magisk. Changing root method to SuperSU fixed it.

I suppose a better description of 'choppy' would be 'random stuttering' (not like buffering problem).
[Android Software Development] uudruid74:
As I said, Viper was turned OFF. How can it make choppy audio if the master switch is off?

---------- Post added at 10:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

That makes no sense.
[Android Software Development] uudruid74:
Was Viper turned off?

I'm experiencing the same problem with Viper uninstalled and JamesDSP installed. Again, master switch is off, so no processing.

With no audio mods installed, the game plays fine
[Android Software Development] crackerjack1957:
What about Ainur only installed, is that when the issue happens?

Tried different versions of Ainur?
[Android Software Development] jilx:
For a solution...

No audio mods???
[Android Software Development] gehess:
Are you running a Sense-based ROM?

I don't know about the HTC10, but my M7 running either AICP or XenonHD Nougat doesn't stutter with FLACs. Using Neutron music player, tried with Dolby Atmos on and off, V4A, Magisk and SuperSU.

Maybe try downgrading to a decent phone (jk). :laugh:
[Android Software Development] uudruid74:
Ainur only is working, but I miss my convolver for music. I'd like either Viper or JsmesDSP to be installed and dormant for games. There need to be a bypass that doesn't require a reboot

---------- Post added at 03:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 AM ----------

Not a solution. I'll give up the game before I give up my music. that's an easy choice
[Android Software Development] Az56:
Im using ainur and viper and i dont have the choppy audio problem. Im running havoc os on a oneplus 3T. Instead of rebooting have u tried force stopping viper? Maybe that will work. Or try a clean flash or a different rom maybe.

Is this problem present for just this game or others too?

I just use ainur only from magisk. I do not believe, the sound I hear from the headset feels good. thanks.

[Android Software Development] uudruid74:
Its just this one game. Have you run the game? I was running Havoc before and about to go back. If you say Darkness Rises works with Viper and Ainur (my exact config) on Havoc (likely favorite ROM) on a 3T (my device), that would be too good to be true.
[Android Software Development] Az56:
Hehe ah wait.

Il try the game and report back.

Most other games are working fine. I have had an incident in the past though. I use helix engine and i usually cap the frequencies minimum required to run the game, and one time while trying out different frequencies, piano tiles started giving choppy audio but it was fixed when i increased the frequencies. Anyways I'll test out the game and tell u.

Update:

Ok so i tried the game and yeah it's definitely still there. It's got nothing to do with frequencies and all that. I guess it's cus of optimisation issues on their part? Idk. Everything else is working fine though.

[Android Software Development] M Huzaifah:
Sorry for late replied.

Since my Mi Note is still new & virgin, so I don't have the accessibility to the system file. Is there alternative way for I get it? It sounds very good even though no external sound mod installed.

I have tried your Pandora on my Asus Zenfone 2 Laser Z00LD (CM13, dirty flash ROM) & the resulting sound is very nice! I use my playbacks from Spotify with Extreme Quality when testing it. (No V4A, Dolby, blah blah blah... just stock experience with Pandora & I don't planned to combine it with any sound mod out there)

Thanks, the best sound mod I flashed so far.

i have nexus 5x custom nougat rom - saosp m. i cant find soundfx in vendor folder,so i flashed Ainur Pandora with TWRP. would this be fine? tnx
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Yes it's fine. Some devices don't have any lib folders in vendor.
[Android Software Development] joberror:
I guess I'm still not in tune with how to enjoy this sound mod perfectly.

Here's what I'm currently facing:

My ROM came with Viper4Android in which I'm using with this mod after flashing and everything seems working fine.

But from my conclusion of this sound mod, having to use Viper4Android with it defeats the logic of usage of this mod.

So please can someone explain to me how to flash it properly to perfection and if having V4A with it is an option, if not, how do I totally get rid of V4A from the ROM making room for this mod to work perfectly?

Thank You!

Nothing related to audio works

Hey [MENTION=6366997]UltraM8[/MENTION]

I've been using Ainur for almost 3 months now. It's fabulous soundmod. But the last time I flashed it, I flashed Ainur first and then Magisk over it. Now none of my audio files work. My mic doesn't work either. On calls, I can't hear what the person on the other side is speaking and vice versa. Any solution on this? I checked the OP, but it's way too huge and I didn't find anything related to my issue.

Thanks and Regards,

PoseidonKing
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Have you tried fully reflashing ROM at the first place?
[Android Software Development] PoseidonKing:
Yes. Fully reflashed 2 to 3 ROMs, no luck. Tried installing Ainur zip and booted again, no luck. Again flashed Ainur zip to uninstall and booted again, no luck. Tried inserting and removing headphones multiple times, no luck. Tried the app SoundAbout, but it won't work on Oreo ROMs. Basically, tried everything except flashing oreo firmware and reflashing ROM afterwards. I'm unable to find the oreo firmware to flash custom ROMs. Any help duly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Running Resurrection Remix 8.1 based on my Pixel 2 XL and was wondering if I can just use ainur magisk mod with audiofx app and if that will even do anything? Do I need to flash AML magisk mod too? I like viper and Atmos etc but don't really need all the extra config stuff for my usage. Thanks!
[Android Software Development] Punraz_:
Yep ,

Just flash after Ainur Aml module and you should good to go. Don't forget to turn off AudioFX

So you're saying flash sauron and AML magisk modules but disable audiofx? Then if I want to adjust anything I'll have to flash viper or something else right? I like the simplicity of audiofx but was hoping it would work with sauron.

No , If you want use it too than still flash after Ainur Aml Mod and use AudioFX

I thought it was said quite a few times that AudioFX / Music FX should be disabled when using a sound mod like Ainur.

Yea it is better to turn it off bcs if you want full sound experience from Ainur than you should turn it off .

So is this fully using the quad dac on LG V20? I'm on LG stock ROM.
[Android Software Development] uudruid74:
It does, but hard to activate

---------- Post added at 05:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 AM ----------

The sound driver itself isn't changed. Not sure what you mean by "using fully". It either uses the chip or it doesn't. Not to sound like a ****, but it sounds like you don't know what the quad DAC is. Everything is pretty much built into the hardware
[Android Software Development] saccentekennedy:
Does anyone have ANY idea why this mod would conflict with some Magisk modules on a OnePlus 5T which correct camera libs for GCam? It's not just me but a few people on the OP5t Gcam thread. We're all on OP5T Open Beta 11 (which added Treble support).

Once we disable AML and Ainur Sauron, the camera mods work again. Keep them, and all camera apps FC.

It's really odd. How can a sound mod interfere with a cam mod? Any ideas?
[Android Software Development] BROKEN1981:
Yeah, you sound like a ****. No offense :laugh:

V4A does not use the quad dac. That's why I'm asking. Not sure if the mod will down sample.
[Android Software Development] Vorlon8472:
V4A is old as in core design. What I mean by that is that quality is stuck in 48 kHz 16 bit. Maybe if you try magisk module Sauron and James dsp? Maybe that does not have that sampling restriction but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I'm using built in Dolby eagle in kernel and v4a magisk because I'm fine with the sampling rate don't have any 24 bit stuff or more on phone.
[Android Software Development] BROKEN1981:
