for my older LG p880(Tegra3) I get CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "tinymix": cannot locate symbol "mixer_get_name" referenced by "/system/bin/tinymix"...

Aborted ... copied your tinymix 32bit to right place and changed rights to 755 ... do you have another tinymix file or a solution ?

i just want to ask if the audio mod SAURON MK II works on -galaxy s8 exynos sm-g950fd- stock firmware Nougat 7.0 rooted magisk v16

if yes how to make it work :confused: cause i flashed it in twrp and i didnt notice any change in audio

any help is appreciated

thanx
[Android Software Development] gehess:
There's lots of apps out there: Wavepad, Mixpad, Spectroid, etc.

Personally, to make absolutely sure I know what's going on in the signal chain, I plug a 3.5mm male to male audio cable from my phone to the mic input on my PC and record the phone output straight into Adobe Audition. I assume Audacity, or any other wave editor that can produce spectral graphs, would also suffice. Search engines are your friend. ;)

But I also like UltraM8's other solution to use getprop to see which new props are used from Sauron. Have you tried that?
[Android Software Development] gaarr:
thank you for the reply about the getprop i did type getprop in the terminal simulator but idont know which new props are used from Sauron

if you can tell me where to look that would be appreciated

and also has this been tested on galaxy s8 exynos stock i did not find any mention of that in the forum

thanx man
[Android Software Development] gehess:
UltraM8 has suggested comparing your getprop results before and after installing Sauron. He doesn't say specifically what you should look for, so I assume results may vary.

Other users have reported issues with exynos devices. Just search thread for "exynos" to see their posts.

Everything is phenomenal here with this mod on htc 10 on stock android 7.0...the only problem is minimum volume level is too high to hear:D it would be better if it was lower...i mean it's a little bit loud...it makes us use earbuds at night:D
[Android Software Development] Mithias:
Links to the 26.02 updates don't seem to be working, just gets an error in drive. The magisk one seems update but I normally download from here as I use the Dirac add-on too

What's changed in the UO? Is it possible to upload a blank version of that separately? I normally save my version so If I need to reflash I've got a backup to hand but if there's changes I'll need to flash first to get a copy :)
[Android Software Development] jcmm11:
Try again. It just worked for me. I did have to wait a minute or 2
[Android Software Development] jayjay1234:
Great update definitely hear the difference ??
[Android Software Development] yochananmarqos:
The sauron_useroptions file can be extracted from the ZIP before flashing.
[Android Software Development] Mithias:
Got it to work, it downloaded as a randomstring.bin file but simple rename resolved that. Just need to let my phone charge a bit then I'll give it a whirl. Anyone tried that new reverbwrapper in the UO? Any noticeable difference?

Tempted to try forcing 32bit processing this time around too, although I'm sure I read that if you use Dirac it forces it down anyway?
[Android Software Development] mrvnsk9:
I had that problem earlier today. I was using a browser other than Chrome. Opening the link in Chrome let me download the file with the correct name.
[Android Software Development] preference:
Just wanted to say that sauron + player pro has kinda replaced v4a for me. I still keep it installed but it's starting to really hurt the soundscape. All I use v4a for is some volume amplification and the equalizer, otherwise sauron does the heavy lifting.

There are moments where the convolvers can be helpful, but with my high end gear, sauron changes the game. Thank you for all your hard work.

Hi, how i can fix this?

Installing scripts for LineageOS SU...

Installing addon.d backup script...

device...ing files for arm SDK 27

- Setting Permissions

Unmounting partitions...

[Android Software Development] Ariskwn:
For me personally, the latest Ainur Sauron with JamesDSP is a perfect combination. It sounds superb on my headphones. So far i don't see the need to combine it with any other mods out there.

Thank you so much for the team who gave us these mods. Great work and looking forward for the next improvements on these already very goood mods!;)
[Android Software Development] azZA_09:
Hey, so I see that you studied this mod. One question, cause I dont really understand from your post: can we use Dolby with this mod without breaking it?
[Android Software Development] gehess:
yes
[Android Software Development] preference:
I'm going to try and read through the thread but has the oreo installation issues been ironed out? I had to pull the apk and install it as a user app and I don't know if that affects the sound quality.

If it works all the same, I don't mind manually installing the apk. Let me know if you have any insight into this -I actually prefer jamesdsp to Viper in certain situations.
[Android Software Development] jcmm11:
I've got no problems with Oreo, but your mileage my vary. Although are you sure you have the correct thread - there is no APK with this mod. If you're talking Viper it is the wrong thread. Try https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-viper4android-fx-2-5-0-5-t3577058

(My answer would remain the same) I may have to check out JamesDSP though. Read one post that said, IIRC, that James + this mod (Sauron) give him the best sound he's ever had.
[Android Software Development] preference:
Sorry I should have been more clear. When installing jamesdsp through magisk the apk doesn't install as a system app. I was wondering if the latest update fixes this. The workaround is to install the apk manually after the lib files are installed by magisk. So yeah, hope that clears things up, I'm actually trying to stop using Viper.
[Android Software Development] azZA_09:
And how can we?
[Android Software Development] gehess:
Well, I don't know about other people, but as I've said a few times here I just install Dolby Atmos and then Sauron. It all works, nothing gets broken (and I use su, not magisk).

I'd assume if there's some setting in a config file specifically for Sauron (e.g. something like the sauron_useroptions file), then it's not intended to break Sauron either, so the answer to your original question is yes, you can use Dolby with Sauron without breaking it. Your results may vary of course.
[Android Software Development] jcmm11:
I haven't installed it yet but in the James DSP thread

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-reformed-dsp-manager-t3607970

There's a new version (1.5.1>. I usually install via TWRP. Looking at the files inside the zip it should be fine.

Edit: Just installed JamesDSP. Still have to manually install the app. It shouldn't make any difference quality wise. There must be a problem when you try to install as a system app.

This works very well with JamesDSP, even better than boomsound.... I get better sound quality.

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] nericollin:
My order of flashing goes like this:

1. Ainur Sauron

2. ARISE (if you use it)

3. Dolby Atmos

To update to a new version, do the following in TWRP

1. Mount data+storage

2. Flash Ainur and Dolby zips (this will uninstall the current version). Make sure you flash the zip of the currently installed version

3. Go back to the mount menu upon completion of uninstalling, and remount data+storage

4. Flash in accordance with the 3-step process outlined in the beginning of this post.

5. Reboot & Enjoy!
[Android Software Development] gehess:
Hehe, see I would flash everything before Sauron to make sure none of the files installed by Sauron are overwritten by something else. But in the end everyone just has to flash in a way that works on their particular device.
[Android Software Development] yochananmarqos:
FYI, you don't need to mount anything manually as any install script mounts what it needs.

[Android Software Development] handers1234:
Lol i think most people just don't read first post and not try to understand what is it that their trying to flash.

And bcos of that many people wondering where is the app for sauron?
[Android Software Development] holozis_HUN:
Sorry I didn't know there is a James DSP topic...

Redmi Note 4 (Snapdragon 625, 3/32gb)

CrDroid 8.1

ElectraBlue kernel

When i try to save/attach cat logs results it gets force close :D

Handers: I think an app for check if sauron enabled or not should be nice. Sometimes I'm not sure if i really got all of the processing mentioned in the first thread or not... Just a simple app what shows:

APTX enabled: yes/no

Dolby enabled: yes/no

Etc... Yeah, there is the answer: "you should hear the difference"

But... I never used my phone without this mod, so I don't know the difference :D Maybe the mod isn't working for me.

So please if I can ask you Developer, please add an app what checks if the mods etc works or not. Thanks :)
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Still simply to check logs for these, lol
[Android Software Development] gehess:
I think you just solved your own problem. :D

[MENTION=6953004]holozis_HUN[/MENTION]

Sure an app woud be nice for end-user like you,cos yeah i know the lazy feeling of typing(more so if you don't know what are you typing)

But still try to think how much work that the developer will take to make such app(idk still im just an end-user but atleast i think that will take much time and don't forget money),and in spite of that we still have several another easy options to check it.So yeah i don't need such app.

No offence really,this mod just flash and forget,hear the difference then bless you,no difference at all then maybe your arsenal is not worthy enough to deliver the difference to you:p or maybe you can't hear it or maybe it simply just doesn't work for you/your device:D
[Android Software Development] LazerL0rd:
ARISE and Ainur were never designed to work together. All audio mod lib modifications work together in any order.
[Android Software Development] uudruid74:
Sauron doesn't install aptx or Dolby. Read!
[Android Software Development] Ibanez33:
Either check logs or if you are on Oreo I believe the current bluetooth profile is listed within developer option. Both your phone and device you're connected to need to support aptx for it to be active.
[Android Software Development] Dratini:
Flashed this, searched the thread for clipping, and treble since the extra detail I hear is all artifacts. Unflashed, its all back to normal. Either a lot of the stuff I have is badly mastered, or the clipping is an effect of unlocking the DAC.

Using galaxy amp 2, it is much better without sauron. Hope narsil or whatever will be better. Hope to use it again in the future, I love the idea, but it just sounds really sibilant and awful right now. Looked for the clip remover from jamesDSP and it wasn't in the options, nor is the "Hyperbolic tangent" seen anywhere. If anyone has an idea let me know, I'm disappointed this only added treble for this device (will try other ones).

So I have a 6p with RR oreo rom by Neo which has audioFX, so I turn it off and then flashed this in TWRP. Is there anything else I need to do to make sure it is working?
[Android Software Development] gehess:
Nope. Just listen to that Sauron goodness! :D
[Android Software Development] xterminater07:
Somehow, when I put volume slider to half way, it sounds pretty low! Max volume is loud of course. How do I check if it's working? And not the audiofx conflict?
[Android Software Development] gehess:
Generally, if it sounds different after you install Sauron, then it's working. If you don't like how it sounds, then try uninstalling things like audiofx. Perhaps install jamesdsp?
[Android Software Development] DaveedDB:
Are you talking about jamesdsp or ainur cause they are 2 different things james also clips and distorts my audio by just enabling it ,but ainur alone sounds so beautiful try just flashing ainur
[Android Software Development] xterminater07:
How do we uninstall stuff like AudioFX if it's built into a rom? I want to get rid of all enhancement app and then try this again.
[Android Software Development] paarthkhatri:
Freeze it from titanium backup or some app or just delete the apk from system
[Android Software Development] xterminater07:
Is it that simple?
[Android Software Development] jcmm11:
Yes. Best is to just freeze it - easy to undo. Lots of apps allow you to freeze. I prefer something like SDMaid and just use titanium for actual backup stuff (ui preference on my end).

Actually if you go into settings/apps the system may allow you to just disable it (which is what a freeze does).
[Android Software Development] xterminater07:
Finally got it working, well installed. I installed viper4a, atmos from axon 7, ainur, aml, and then the dirac effect. If i enable viper, does dirac work?

[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Might happen right after you provide any information & data. Xiaomi's known for killing something every update, try on another rom.
[Android Software Development] manpildo:
Finally convinced myself to try Ainur instead of Arise, and I must say it's pretty cool. Paired with ahrion's V4A and also AML to make them work together and I don't see the need for Dolby anymore, it causes more trouble than it's worth (I never got it to work on Oreo, it screwed my device a couple of times to the point I threw my phone at the wall in anger). This sound with proper V4A configuration is all I need, thank you! :highfive:
[Android Software Development] dyval:
I've been using V4A and Ainur without any problems. Superb sound quality. I can hear the difference combined and not coz I tried both. ;)
[Android Software Development] Der_Meister01:
Probably nearly everything of your stuff is badly mastered. Try some Vinyl rips (you don't need those 192khz 44,1 is enough)

Or try this on Spotify:

The Mountain by Haken is one of the few good modern masters, despite its low Dynamic Range it sounds very good.
[Android Software Development] ezzony:
Hi I would like some info to help me solve a problem. I have a LG G5 which uses both an in-built dac and an so called 'hi-fi" external one. The external one can be connected at the battery compartment and is comparable in quality to the internal one the v10, v20 etc. Anyway I was wondering on a technical level how sauron, dobly and jamesdsp will work with my hi-fi dac and v4a will not. Specifically is it something about the driver that is critical in it working OR is it simply something in the configuration files (audio_policy.conf, mixer_paths.xml etc) than enable them to function.

I was thinking if it's the latter ie the config files I would be able to amend them for v4a myself if I had a little guidance about what I'd need to do. I've had a good look at the files in the installation zip files and the files on the live system using a root browser so I think it would be within my capability to make a few adjustments.

I realize this isn't the v4a thread but I think this is the right forum to ask it. I'm not looking for all the code I would need to include in the files - I'm just looking a general idea if what I wan't to achieve is possible or not and if it is then perhaps a little guidance. Thanks.
[Android Software Development] LazerL0rd:
Yup, that's great. The V4A zip on Magisk is based on audiomodlib, I believe. I've been using it too.
[Android Software Development] DaveedDB:
You are using the v4a from ahrion ?

You have to use aml from the magisk downloads to use the different mods together
[Android Software Development] ezzony:
No that one doesn't work with my device either. I don't use magisk but I actually flashed a rom with magisk , installed aml and ahrions v4a and none worked so that was a waste of time. That is why I think the only way I can get it to work is do modify code myself.
[Android Software Development] mohand06:
A good starting point would be doing the manual installation of v4a.
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Dacs and amplifiers are usually at the very end of the session chain, so it renders with effects and then travel to hw output.
[Android Software Development] JBolho:
Tried every single method of making v4a work on my device and finally quit...

Flashed Ainur Sauron by itself and the difference in sound is quite noticeable, so I'll stick to it... Is this customizable in any way or I really need something like Viper to be able to customize the sound output?

I'm running EMUI8 (Oreo 8.0.0) on a Honor 9, Magisk 16

Edit - yes, I've seen the User Options file but that seems to be mainly for QC devices.

The only adverse thing i noticed is that i can no longer choose the Bluetooth codec and quality in Dev Options, i had it in apt-xHD with custom settings, but now, no matter what i try to choose, it goes back to SBC and default values. Not too important right now because I mainly use wired headphones, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
[Android Software Development] SupaKid:
A quick question, guys:

Any suggestions as to how I could increase the clarity/details heard at the rear of the soundstage (i.e., the 'background')?

The foreground sounds wonderful, but the 'back' is quieter than I'd like.
[Android Software Development] manpildo:
Are you using any equalizer app like Viper? Try increasing clarity and/or changing clarity modes. You might also want to try different convolvers, they have the biggest impact on overall sound.
[Android Software Development] JBolho:
Just tried installing JamesDSP, the module installs but app force closes...

I firstly uninstalled Ainur and AML on Magisk and then installed by this order, Ainur - JamesDSP - AML, rebooted and installed the apk.
[Android Software Development] gadgetperfect:
I am using Redmi note 4 snapdragon mido MIUI 9. I have installed viper4android in my system and that is working fine. Now if i install this mod then will it improve audio quality?

Are there any chances if this module can destroy system's built in settings>headphone and audio effects ?
[Android Software Development] Trupen:
Flashed module but no app
[Android Software Development] JBolho:
It has no app. You can use it alongside Viper4Android for example, just remember to flash AudioModLib to make everything work together (at least if you are using Magisk)
[Android Software Development] dyval:
For those who are having problems on V4A processing, remove audio_effects.conf located on /system/vendor/etc. Reboot, profit. Always worked for me. I also uninstall default EQ apps included in the ROM. :good:
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
You definately don't wanna do this on qualcomm devices

I've been doing this bro Since Samsung Galaxy S5 - G900F SD 801, and with my Xiaomi Mi5, always worked for me without issues..

[Android Software Development] M Huzaifah:
Ainur Sauron is a flash-and-forget sound enhancement mod. It works at the system level. There is no app after you flash Sauron but you can notice the sound quality improvement.

[MENTION=6366997]UltraM8[/MENTION] is it possible to let other mods prioritize the use of the mixer_paths.xml file in /system/vendor/etc?

I want to use the dual speaker mod, but I can't use it with this or any sound mod like ARISE. (It does work with viper4android standalone)
[Android Software Development] foxyfreqz:
Why is there such a huge difference in sound between the OP3T and the OP5T

Hey folks,

I've been using the mod since it came out on my Oneplus 3T and it works like a charm. I really (!!!!!!!) adore the audioquality it provides. Well, I just bought the Oneplus 5T and just installed AINUR like I always did on my 3T via TWRP after installing magisk. It seems like it's working.

Why is it that theres still such a huge difference in overall sound quality? I just don't get it!

When I am comparing both phones, listening with the same headphones to the same song on the same music player, the Oneplus3T sounds

MUCH

BETTER IMHO and it's much louder!

Why is that?? It's freaking me out... I am so used to the sound quality the Oneplus3T gives me, I am even thinking of just sending it back...

is there a possibility to fix that ? Any help is appreciated!
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
You have to flash that mod before Ainur directly to system (not systemless), or ask developer to make a Unity version for his stereo mod
[Android Software Development] FPSUsername:
I tried using it directly on the system, but no luck. I'll ask him about the unity thing.

Edit: I tried looking into it myself, and it looks almost the same. Unity only has some Unity related files.
