Sorry I was looking for a interfaz you know an app like Dolby almost but i did not that I have to use an app for play music like AIMP and then go to equalizer and select FX.

Thanks. I really love this audio mod.

Sauron MK 3 works great on my OnePlus 3T running NitrogenOS Pie rom. Default settings indeed sounds good, just flash and forget.
[Android Software Development] Mheca:
Reboot in TWRP then Mount>Vendor, go back then Advanced>File Manager find /Vendor/lib/audiofx/libvolumelistener.so and add ".old" (So now it's named "libvolumelistener.so.old" without the "")

And then go to /Vendor/lib64/audiofx/libvolumelistener.so and add ".old" (So now it's named "libvolumelistener.so.old" without the "")

Then clear cache and dalvik and reboot. Everything should be working fine now.

Nice day and see you space cowboy...

I flashed the hardware Dirac on my Qualcomm powered Redmi 5 (Pie Pixel Experience). However there is no app for Dirac to turn it on and off. How to use this function? I remember the Dirac HD sound app in my iPhone 4 works well even with Apple earphones.
[Android Software Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
He even wrote, probably won't work from Oreo and higher, yet you still try. Dirac can't be enabled without the UI, so you can uninstall it

[MENTION=1700812]rimsilva[/MENTION] & anyone else using Magisk:

Do NOT edit your /system or /vendor partition directly.

Instead, you need to edit the AINUR module files mounted in the Magisk IMG. You can do this in a normal file manager with root, no need to boot into TWRP. You'll find libvolumelistener.so under /sbin/.magisk/img/ainur_sauron/system/vendor/lib64/audiofx/. After renaming, reboot.

If you want to do it via TWRP, flash the Magisk-Mount.zip attached to my Collection of Magisk Modules v2 thread, then go to Advanced > File Manager and do the renaming. You'll find libvolumelistener.so under /magisk/img/ainur_sauron/system/vendor/lib64/audiofx/. After renaming, reboot.
[Android Software Development] rimsilva:
Renamed the "libvolumelistener.so" file but the distortion it's still there (alarm, notifications and phone ring).

Additionally James dsp manager is also broken now :(

Could this be related to MIUI rom?

Is there any other way to correct this distortion?

Thanks.

Just found that you can increase Volume Steps with the User Options (UO). It's not mentioned in the OP.

Works great!

I'm using a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 SE (kate), there is NO problem if I unistalled "AudioFX.apk", in november I removed it, then I'm trying this mod, but I think something is wrong, I dont "feel" the changes.

And turning On or OFF Dolby Atmos, still dont "feel" any diference.
[Android Software Development] onliner:
su -c dumpsys media.audio_flinger and see the chains to know if Ainur/Dolby are processing.
[Android Software Development] ifnkemlptr:
I used Dirac addon (HW Heaxagonal) since Nougat btw - now I'm in Oreo. It has no UI, only an apk (DiracManager) within priv-app folder.

Trust me it changes your sound a lot. I can confirm this since I tried with or without Dirac - even Dirac + Dolby.

Btw, I tried Ainur MK III, which incudes Dirac within its zip file and I wasn't satisfied. It's too harsh (the highs were stinging), dry, and the bass was too bold (with Dolby) in my ear.

That's why I uninstalled it and replaced it back to Ainur MK II.II (without Dirac), and I installed a Dirac addon separately.

I'm quite sure that, it is no placebo, though it's only a sound comparison, since I was quite disturbed with newly MK III sound noticably.

IDK why, it might be that the MK III has different version of Dirac or what. Maybe the op has to confirm this.
[Android Software Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
I guess there is a config file which can be modified to your liking or rather set a profile in that file
[Android Software Development] ifnkemlptr:
sauron_useroptions?

Ofc I play with that. Since, I have my own preference, and not, or at least minimally changed it during my MK III usage, I know very well how the difference was. Still, it wasn't meet my expectations. :)
[Android Software Development] Mhden2x:
I think version III is a bit harsh too, but I'm new to this to tell 100%. Could you please point me to MK II.II to test and compare?
[Android Software Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
No there should be one specific for dirac
[Android Software Development] Wolfcity:
One question, slightly off topic here:

The only thing I change directly in /system is my bootanimation (system/media/bootanimation.zip). it's working, is there a problem in doing it that way? I know that there are modules to do that but because I prefer my own animation and being a bit too lazy to build my own module I do it that way. I know I should learn how to do it...

Edit : Sorry, the path sbin/.magisk/img is also present like sbin/.core/img for me, edited my post.

To be back on topic: MK III has improved very much, I use it beside Viper4Android and AML, no need for Dolby anymore. Great sound.
[Android Software Development] jcmm11:
Bootanimation can be tricky because it needs to be accessed so early in the boot process. On some phones/ROMs the only way to get it to work is to modify system as you're currently doing.

If it can be modified systemlessly (and the only way to find out for sure is to try it) then all you have to do is place the desired bootanimation.zip in

/data/adb/simple_mount/system/media/bootanimation.zip

Magisk will access and mount it first thing, but again the timing is still sometimes too late so you just have to try it.

And for some on topic mention I've switched to JamesDSP rather than Viper - it's being actively developed (unlike Viper, which is old and closed source) but other than that I agree with you on the sound.
[Android Software Development] ifnkemlptr:
What kind of test do you mean? I'm just a noob if what you mean was me checking parameters or logs :D

What I am noticing from both MK III and II are only highs, bass and dryness (hmm...if you're familiar with V4A, the dumping factor and dryness of the MK III seems higher than II.II).

In general, for me MK III sounds more artificial, especially if you combine it with Dolby Oreo.

NB:

Found a problem. Dirac Hexagonal doesn't work with my speaker since Oreo. No speaker sounds produced after installation. Based on log, audioserver is stopped. See attached log

I've tried UO combination, addons/or no addon combination..still I haven't found my previous sound preferences in Nougat :(

The last attempt is to install Poweramp. The best sounded player after many music app trials. It seems to reduce the MK III harshness even without DVC enabled.

However, now I'm using only MK III without no addon or soundmods.

Tried addons/DSP: Dirac HW Hexagonal, Dolby Oreo, V4A

Tried music app: Vanilla, Black Player, Musicana, JetAudio, AIMP, n7..etc

I'm having a issue with the latest release of sauron. I am on LG v20 H918 running no other sound mods beside sauron. When using a high impedance headphone like the Koss KPH30i it sounds distorted and damaging like a blown driver, low impedance headphones sound normal. Removing and rolling back to mk2 does not cause the issue. Any ideas, or a workaround? Thanks in advance.
[Android Software Development] fuzzychicken:
This sounds pretty good mod. I was using Viper4Android but came across this on reddit. I am trying to understand how this thing really works. I wonder if anybody made a YouTube video describing this mod, installation, tweaking, add-ons etc?

I find a couple of videos in non-English language but nothing really in English.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Software Development] OnOmatOpOei@:
I think I just missed it but may I know how to uninstall this mod? Im using an LG v20 h990ds.
[Android Software Development] yochananmarqos:
Uninstall it from Magisk Manager just like any other module. Alternatively, flashing it from TWRP will also uninstall it since it uses the Unity template.
[Android Software Development] OnOmatOpOei@:
Thanks. Really appreciate it!!

I'm running Ainur Sauron MK II.II (19.06.2018) and I did recently restore my rom from a nandroid backup. After the restore I lost sound in my speakers/call/mic. Only sound through headphones (cable / bluetooth) works.

Is there any way to inspect the cause for this problem? Thnx in advance.
[Android Software Development] Electrolite_XYZ:
Nevermind I had issues with a modification made by Sauron and after trying to unisntall it using Magisk manager I kept having the same issue. Turns out I clicked to disable the module and not unintall it in Magisk Manager, disabling the module won't restore your old files you need to unintall.

[Android Software Development] KHANrad_SIN:
I also immediately noticed a difference as well when I switched to MK III. To me it sounds a bit dull and the bass is kind of droning. Not an audiophile by any means but there's something about it that makes it sound worse. MK II.II sort of sounded like it had a wider sound stage and greater clarity. For now I'll be sticking with MK II.II

---------- Post added at 04:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 AM ----------

Will MK II.II really not work on Magisk 18.1? I wasn't aware of this until I came across this post, so I actually tried installing MK II.II beforehand while on magisk 18.1 and it installed perfectly fine. Could it be that it only appears that it has installed in magisk manger but really behind the scenes it's not actually doing anything?
[Android Software Development] ranaxda200:
How did you feel better soundstage for the previous version and compare while latest magisk wouldn't work with the MK II.II?
[Android Software Development] KHANrad_SIN:
Because I've used MK II.II before when I was on Magisk 18.0, then when MK III came out I used it with Magisk 18.1

[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
We don't support outdated versions, and they don't work at all (in case of newer magisk versions), or don't work properly (mind all the fixes and edits being made for newer major version). MKIII is the only version that is being supported at this point.

Hey guys, loving this app, does exactly what I was looking for. The issue I'm having is that it will randomly stop working, and even when reloading the preferences or disabling and then reenabling the master switch, the effects stay off. The only thing I can do is force quit the app and then as soon as it's launched the effects start working again. Any ideas? On a Pixel 3 XL stock ROM with Magisk.
[Android Software Development] arvylas:
Anyone with a pixel 2/xl device tried any Useroptions?
[Android Software Development] jcmm11:
Think you're in the wrong thread. Sauron has no master switch (or UI of any kind). Sounds like you're possibly talking about James or Viper

(Try turning battery optimization off for the app in question)
[Android Software Development] bick:
Not got pixel 2/xl, but HTC U11 (Lineage 16) and only using 'volume-steps=50' option which works fine (but not on Sense ROMs).

Tempted one day to try audio options, but it would be nice for a bit more information about what they do.

Great mod though. I don't use anything else with it, just plain flat eq and it's amazing.

Will Ainur Sauron support Amlogic CPU?

I am enjoying Ainur Sauron on my Xiaomi Redmi 5 (Pie/ Pixel Experience) and am trying to port it to my Fire HD8 2016. I also have several TV boxes with Amlogic S905/S805 CPU (Xiaomi TV Box 2-3 and MXQ Pro 4K). Most of boxes run Android 5.1. I learned that the list of CPU support is include Qualcomm/Exynos/MTK/Kirin/Rockchip/Spreadtum cpu only. I searched this thread with keyword S905 or amlogic and find nothing. Will you expand this great function to Amlogic ? A lot of TV box users out there equipped with Amlogic and Rockchip will enjoy it. Thanks
