Hello Dev

I am using Oreo on OP5 with magisk 15.2.i installed your mod and I think it's processing good.

Then I installed v4a and got this conflicting file.however v4a is processing fine.

Will it create any conflicts or bootloops in future or will create any trouble with ainur sauron mod working ??
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
No
[Android Software Development] OsistemX:
Try to change your UO config
[Android Software Development] SSJMatt:
Installed the mod, but does it have an app for changing settings?
[Android Software Development] ndarkside93:
There is no magic app, though you can edit the. User option file inside the zip before first flash, or you could just read the release post instead of asking the same question that's been asked over and over.

Are there any plans to support older devices with HiFi DACs like from Xiaomi/Meizu?
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:

Hi, what do this lib?

capi_v2_aptX_Classic.so

Thanks
[Android Software Development] ndarkside93:
It's a Lib for. Aptx bluetooth audio
[Android Software Development] juanantofb:
Hi, thank for your response.

In my phones with Lineage i have APTX enabled, but i not found this lib in my /system/lib and /vendor/lib, and my receiver say that APTX is working..

This lib is mandatory to use APTX?
[Android Software Development] ndarkside93:
There are multiple ways to enable. Aptx, this is used for phones that have roms that don't do with. Aptx support
[Android Software Development] jfodra:
Does it work with oos?
[Android Software Development] bdwilk:
Yes it does. Splendidly.
[Android Software Development] Rammit:
Yes.

I'm getting the same volume issue on my HTC 10 (LeeDroid) and an error message with Arkamys, anyone else manage to get a workaround on this one yet?
[Android Software Development] Nidai Sennin:
Hey, i´m using the beta version posted a while back. Has the lower volume steps,but the volume scale is'nt linear,it spikes up a bit before mid volume.
[Android Software Development] tsalta:
Well i had All 4 ports or Arkamys working with no problem with the latest Sauron on Viper 5.11 Magisk

But i remove it and for now i prefer the SAURON alone by itself.
[Android Software Development] Donric13:
Hi. First thanks for updating the mod to fully support with magisk and a/b devices. So finally i am able to use the mod on my pixel xl (used the mod on my further angler). On my actual device using Bluetooth headphones i have distorsions when using jamesdsp. They are even present when choosing gain 80 %. Normally i even like to raise gain to 150 % especially listening to podcasts. I only installed Sauron mod (withouth useroptions) und jamesdsp. When i change to Viper (disabling jamesdsp) then the distortions disappear. But in my ears the Sound only using the mod and jamesdsp is much more naturalistic using jamesdsp than v4a (with the mod). I have read something about similar problems on the htc 10. Some guys think using beta 6 or 11 should be better on this? I did only find beta 6 - but it's older than the actual mod (i think)... Does anybody have a suggestion (using a beta or maybe change some useroptions) and can confirm the distortions? I only use my device with Bluetooth headphones. Didn't test headphone jack.
[Android Software Development] cadkey:
This post a few pages before:
[Android Software Development] cadkey:
No, beta 6 is not better but works on Htc 10 with LeeDrOiD Rom.
[Android Software Development] OldMidnight:
What beta are you talking about?
[Android Software Development] greenza:
Beta 6 is working well with my HTC 10 with LeeDroid and AcoustiX is still working with this version as well :)
[Android Software Development] cadkey:
I use only beta 6 with LeeDrOiD, nothing else.

Sound is awesome. :good:
[Android Software Development] tcat007:
Is there a page with "optimal" dsp settings (in James DSP)? No clue about the dynamic range compression values. Gets way loud with that on. I just pulled the Oreo version (flashed in TWRP) and DSP manager apk (just installed), sound is much improved on 5t. From here:

https://github.com/james34602/JamesDSPManager/releases

Not sure if I was supposed to install both, but seems to work well.
[Android Software Development] Sir_gpm:
Tried the last version, in latest O Beta20 for 3t. And it looks like Dirac driver stopped after flash Sauro
[Android Software Development] piptron:
Should we install this mod before Other (Dolby Atmos and such) ? Or it won't matter which we install first? And how will we know if this isn't a placebo effect ? it is very difficult to compare before and after installation.
[Android Software Development] anujyadava:
It doesn't matter
[Android Software Development] piptron:
How will we know if there is indeed an improvement in sound quality?
[Android Software Development] snek_one:
I had bought new headphones and was a bit disappointed with the sound quality while testing them on mobile until i discovered this mod. Amazing work guys! My mobile almost sounds like my DAC now! Redmi Pro
[Android Software Development] Bud Horn:
I suggest you try using your ears, mate... It shouldn't be that hard to recognize an improvement in sq when Sauron is installed.... If you can't hear it it's probably not worth installing any sq-mod at all [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16].

/Bud
[Android Software Development] anujyadava:
You can turn on and off from Dolby to check whether it's working or not??
[Android Software Development] piptron:
From Dolby the changes are very noticeable however it's not the same case with just sauron alone.
[Android Software Development] anujyadava:
That depends what options u enable in user option files but I can feel the changes
[Android Software Development] gehess:
Logically, if you don't notice much difference using Sauron, then there's no harm leaving it installed. :good:
[Android Software Development] piptron:
I installed V4A by ahrion and there's a line saying conflicting something with sauron . after reboot , whenever I clear data on any app my phone soft reboot. So I uninstalled V4A .

PS. Sorry for being such a newbie. Im new to this kind of stuff.
[Android Software Development] ninjasinabag:
You can turn Dolby on and off as an effect. Dolby Atmos has no relevance towards sauron.

The only way to tell if sauron is doing its job is like Bud said, test it out.

Make a backup of a clean rom (with no mods installed) so you can test out the stock sound.

Then install sauron to try out it's changes on your sound.

---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------

The thing with v4a is a new safety feature. It gives you a heads up about unstable build.prop changes in regards to viper. (It's safe)

The thing about your phone soft booting after a single cache clear sounds suspicious though
[Android Software Development] Stupifier:
Anyone know anything about AudioMix Wakelocks holding phone awake for a LONG time? Not sure if it is related to this Mod being installed or not....but I just wanted to see if anyone knew anything about this Wakelock

Update: just flashed another ROM/Kernel combo.....it was probably Kernel related.
[Android Software Development] piptron:
I thought so too. But it happened to me. After uninstalling v4a mod, everthings back to normal tho.
[Android Software Development] jay-em-ass:
Is the combination of Sauron and V4A currently still just working with magisk? Or is this possible with SuperSU?
[Android Software Development] Stupifier:
I'm using Sauron and V4A on Oreo 8.0 just fine.
[Android Software Development] ninjasinabag:
A week later and I'm still facing issues with audio services going dormant after locking my screen. After some digging, I'm finding out its due to my ROM being a port from the stylo branch.

After trying it out on both my note 4 and my s4, I've come to the conclusion that this mod is bada$$ but just isn't meant to be used with my daily device.

Excellent work.

Also, for anyone interested. The Qualcomm audio sphere effect is amazing for the soundstage.

[MENTION=6366997]UltraM8[/MENTION]

I think that i know why DOLBY BOOMsound presets Don`t work and the System Don`t read them, you say that your Boomsound presets works but how is posible together with DTS?

What i mean is this:

By Default when you FLASH Sauron 2 he he Forced Hexagon DTS Headphone:X module processing, mixer controls & custom config.

in Another words use complete different libs, mixerpaths and settings configurations than DOLBY.

And i think in order the DOLBY to work and use his presets DS1_profiles.xml

we have to Forced Hexagon Dolby modules processing during the flash (ofcourse this will disable DTS) but im pretty sure that this way the DOLBY BOOM sound will work properly together with SAURON!
[Android Software Development] tonyfreak215:
I cannot get V4A to work with this mod. (which is fantastic btw) I have tried the standard TWRP flashable version along with Ahrion's version. (although i had to use V2.4)

I'm on a V20 Nougat stock-based rom, with SuperSu.

Any tips?
[Android Software Development] OldMidnight:
Remove all sound mods, the reinstall in any order but with SAURON last. If that doesn't work set selinux to permissive. And I agree, it is fantastic?
[Android Software Development] tonyfreak215:
I've already tried that. No good. Thanks for the advice.

I'm wondering if it has to do with only being able to get Ahrion's V4A v2.4 working. (working with one of the devs on that)
[Android Software Development] OldMidnight:
I've got it working on my device perfectly, ahrions Dolby atmos and v4a work perfectly with SAURON. 7.1.1 here latest Magisk too, no clue why it doesn't work on yours
[Android Software Development] tonyfreak215:
I was able to get Ahrion's V4A 2.8 installed, unfortunately it still didn't work. The driver is installed, but it's not processing.

I saw a fix here but I'm not sure if that will work using both mods.
[Android Software Development] thunderrr0:
i flashed SAURON MK II on AEX4.5, how do i access the mod settings to tweak it?
[Android Software Development] ndarkside93:
You set the in the user option file before you flash
[Android Software Development] maurock00:
It works on Xiaomi MI A1 ?

Hi guys, anyone tried this mod on Xiaomi Mi A1 ?
[Android Software Development] tsalta:
Just to report HTC 10 Nougat here

Forcing 32bit Audio working Perfectly Fine!
[Android Software Development] cameljockey1:
Anything else needed for htc u11 plus, sound system to work, Like viper or other sound apks? Or to my understanding it just works after flash from magisk. I did edit the sound prop as we are supposed to and only enabled universal mod.
[Android Software Development] :
Thanks for this mod! While playing around with the config file I was wondering what audio policy patching is? Most options make sense to me, but what is the audio policy about? (Of course I googled it but a short explanation would be great)
[Android Software Development] okkbojan:
How to do that?

HTC 10
[Android Software Development] tsalta:
If im Developer will not develope anything for the reason that this is writen thousend times!

In the 1st post is clearly explained HOW WHAT and WHY you Cant and you Can do! I dont have idea how people are flashing something even without to know what they are flashing. Before years the community was different.
[Android Software Development] gauravbhakuni90:
Thanks [MENTION=6366997]UltraM8[/MENTION] for this awesome soundmod.

Earlier in other sound mod I used dolby viper and what not but this is the one stop solution for all. No other apps needed. Or maybe just viper.

Again thanks.
[Android Software Development] okkbojan:
In the first post, I did not find the answer to my question!

qc.bitsize = true or qc.bitsize = 24

HTC 10
[Android Software Development] tsalta:
Yes its not on the 1st post its on the 2nd !@

User determined features:

You can set these features with sauron_useroptions (UO) file, by placing it to the root of the internal storage. Installer will place the file there during the install, if it's not there already. After resetting values you have to reinstall Sauron each time you want to try/set something new. Some of the stuff there can break sound completely - there is no fix for that, you have to reset stuff back & don't use some of the features that breaks normal use of your device.

I've commented pretty every single thing there with all the info I know by this moment, make sure not to bother me with questions like "wut is dat XXXX feature for, dude?" please

- Qualcomm codec bitsize, impedance and discretization forcing

So when you flash SAURON by default this preset is leaved EMPTY this mean you do not force the Bitrate! For a reason because can lead to problem glitches and so on ONLY devices with SD 820 + can use it!

So with HTC 10 we are fine to Force it.

In order to do that like is already state thousend times in the ROOT of your internal memory you gona have file called: sauron_useroptions

Open that file and Edit it by your choice ! If you don`t really know what you are doing do not use that file just leave like it is.

The best Optimization you can do for HTC 10 tested by me are this

Set the SHOEBOX effect to TRUE

Also qc.bitsize = 32

You can play also with the DOLBY as well by Default when you Install Sauron its FORCE DTS instead of DOLBY well is super sound anyway i found out that FORCING DOLBY of course will disable DTS the Sound is more lets SAY BASSY and Strong so this all depends from the user preferences.

Another option you can enable is APTx/HD set it to TRUE.

Thats it save the file and leave it there.

Next time when you are Flashing SAURON he will read that file and will install the things you pre ENABLE in that file!
[Android Software Development] okkbojan:
Thanks for helping!

[Android Software Development] piyush7243:
Any way to install it if Magisk is not present and device is rooted
[Android Software Development] ndarkside93:
Yes. The installer will determine the root solution and adapt accordingly
[Android Software Development] piyush7243:
Thanks I am going to try it on My Android HU
[Android Software Development] pokipokipxorn:
Still having problems with jamesdsp on 8.1, sauron works fine though.

Jdsp cant seem to differentiate between multiple headphone insertions, it toggles between speaker & headphones once I remove headphone and put it back in.

Some ROMs or player have this feature: when screen turned off, holding vol keys will skip to next track, jdsp seems to be confused and try to adjust the vol instead, or pause then start playback a few mins later. These problems do not occur when jdsp is uninstalled
[Android Software Development] Ser0:
Lucky you. I get no sound whatsoever when trying to force 32 bit sound on my HTC 10. Must be because Nebula kernel has sound modifications.

[Android Software Development] OldMidnight:
Working perfectly for me, with Dolby atmos and V4A installed, using latest magisk, but I always flash Sauron through TWRP, if magisk is detected then it will sort itself out and become a module, but flashing through TWRP is how I do it

Hello everyone!! Which is the best way to flash this mod, through magisk or twrecovery and how I know this mod is working ? Greetings mates !!
[Android Software Development] cadkey:
After this error, to be able to flash a version of Sauron again, I had to flash my Rom in non rooted version and flash a second time with magisk.

I can then reflash an old version of sauron MK II.
[Android Software Development] IoIam:
What does this mod do? I flashed it before but i didn't notice any difference, maybe I'm doing something wrong?
[Android Software Development] OsistemX:
Yeah you did something wrong, I notice a real improvement of the audio quality for me
[Android Software Development] Nidai Sennin:
I also can't install the new update on the HTC10. Neither by magisk or TWRP. So far only that beta6 works ,but with a wonky volume scale.

Another question,does forcing 32bit audio have a battery impact,and does it work good with normal quality mp3?

Thanks n advance!
[Android Software Development] cadkey:
No, doesn't work with 16bit audio file, read in sauron_useroptions file.
[Android Software Development] Nidai Sennin:
I read it,but i uderstood that it would sound a bit worst with low quality media. Was just wondering if it would be usable for mixed quality audio collection. I also have a lot of FLACs, could live with a bit of worst quality mp3 playback if it improves noticeably the FLACs. But maybe did'nt understood it correctly,my english is not perfect..

Was looking forward to test it,but now i dont have Sauron installed..Gonna wait a bit to see if a new update comes out that fixes the instalation problems.
[Android Software Development] cadkey:
What device do you have?

In order for the problem to disappear, you have to flash the rom without Magisk or superuser and flash again your rom with Magisk or superuser.

Then you can flash an old version of Sauron MK II.

Tested with my Htc 10 and LeeDrOiD rom.
[Android Software Development] DingoDingo:

[Android Software Development] cadkey:
Same problem but it is the better version today for Htc10 and LeeDrOiD.

it remains a very good version. Amazing sound.
[Android Software Development] gimpy1:
The one request I have, if I could make one, is for "visual" evidence that the modification is working.

Something similar to arise, maybe.

I have Sauron installed via twrp and SuperSU/superuser (not Magisk). I "assume" it's working, but have no way to check/determine that the mod is working and not just the music player?

Thx..
[Android Software Development] Skittles9823:
To be fair though ARISE doesn't have anything in particular to "prove" its working since it installed a collection of mods/dsps at the choice of the end user. If by what you mean is viper then that just shows that viper is working. It's a little harder to tell if Sauron works but in the words of UltraM8:

Are all ways to test if Sauron is indeed working for you.

Fixed version of yestardays update is in the OP.
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
All Ainur mods, including effects ports are AML based, so they support lot's of root solutions (Sauron OP to see which). Flashfire can be buggy, twrp preferable here.

I have Error 1 Because the AML is less than 2.3.
