Hi. I'm quite new to this mod. Installed it succesfully on my 6P with Screwd Rom. Tried to install it on actual Despair OS rom (with magisk 12). Have no luck. Have always a reboot and then google apps and other apps fc instantly. This happens after fresh install with no other soundmods. Can't get sauron or pandora to work. Both give me reboot and fc. Latest arise soundmod (magnus opus) can be installed and works without any issue. Think it's rom related. Any ideas? Like this soundmod because it gives great sound quality with a slim install.
[Android Software Development] senny22:
What mod would you recommend me to use on my Axon 7? I'm not sure if sauron will have an effect since the Axon 7 is using a different dac.
[Android Software Development] ndarkside93:
Sauron will work just fine on the axon 7. It doesn't really friend on a specific dad to work
[Android Software Development] Donric13:
After several tries a just could make sauron work on despair os on my 6P. Seems the fc after install of sauron was kernel related (kylo kernel installed). After changing kernel to flash or franco i could install sauron without any issue. Trying to install v4a (to have more control over the music settings for clarity an bass) i ran in next issue. I can't make v4a to work. Tried it with flash order, setting to permissive and of course with ahrions modules. Couldn't get it to work. Then i tried adkamys v2. This gave me fc on arkamys app. I'm now just reading back the thread. I find different information about how and in wich order i have to flash (what) modules and if there are wipes necessairy (specially wipes for cache and dalvik i found in some posts....) and if other music apps like music fx have to be disabled. Is there a clear flash order to make v4a to work with sauron or could it even be rom related, thad v4a isn't working (btw: v4a arise magnus opus is working on this rom).
[Android Software Development] 24imelqui:
Try to install also topjohnwu's v4a mod with ahrions v4a mod.
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Only Ahrions AML & Unity modules are supported.
[Android Software Development] gitzolinick:
Yes it is a very audiophile mod☺️,

Fantastic results on M8 HK version (on symphonic music the colors of the instruments are very accurate, especially percussions and wood that any sound system can never sing in correct way)

No need any other mod, even viper4android sound like nothing compared to this.

All sound engineers from Harman should have to learn from you
[Android Software Development] 24imelqui:
With topjohnwu's mod, I can run ahrion's v4a mod in Enforcing. I know it is weird but it show it is processing and the sound change if I change something in v4a.
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Ah, ok then) great that it worked for you)
[Android Software Development] Donric13:
thanks for advice. But didn't solve the problem. Drivers from v4a are still not recognized/installed... Think i'm gonna wait for the new sauron release with more control for sound options (possibly makes v4a useless to me).
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Oh, dude, finally - someone listening to classical music here! Yeah version i test with Rachmaninov (concert 2, both mp3 & flac, 5.1 system & headphones) & Jenkins - Escala Palladio (same setup). But with different cpu - there will be different audio anyways, so i'm still searching for better stage.
[Android Software Development] MyIdentityDoesntMatter:
Purchased some LG Quadbeats 2 the other day to use with my HTC 10. While the sounds quality was already good, Sauron made it that much better and I love that it works in games too. :) Thank you for making the audio experience better. Any more I can do to get the most out of the audio experience?

Yes, i am classic musician and baroque repertory is my favorite :) Rachmaninov orchestration is very full of instruments and probably very difficult to reproduce in correct way, your mod makes it sound sublime. I would like to suggest you to try to work on Jean-Baptiste Lully pieces (Ouverture du Ballet de la nuit for example has loud percussions presence and very powerful harmonic texture)

Congratulations for your work and best wishes for next updates!
[Android Software Development] Zackptg5:
For the install order, install order: ROM, kernel, root, gapps, ahrions sound mods (like v4a), sauron and ainur add-ons. You want to always flash ainur sound mods last
[Android Software Development] Slypnslyde:
What addon is best with Sauron
[Android Software Development] Donric13:
Thanks. Gonna give this order a try over the weekend. Atm i flashed v4arise magnum opus over sauron... At least v4a is working but i don't think that it's processed through sauron (even if both modules sauron and libs are activated in magisk).
[Android Software Development] CYoung234:
I hear you. I am actually not sure how you can evaluate any sound system without listening to acoustic instruments for color and lifelike sound. It is even better if you have heard the same musicians live. Especially woodwinds. Clarinet is a good one since the instrument only produces the odd harmonics! At any rate, Sauron for me is the first sound mod that beats Nero or the older instructions you provided for removing MusicFX. Just listened to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra brass flac recording - very nice and much improved.
[Android Software Development] raylogic:
Hi there, having bought some wireless Bose QC35 headphones I spent weeks trying to improve the audio throughout of my galaxy S5 (qualcomm sm-900f)..

I was pretty happy with the sound I got but V4A was just killing my battery, so I am currently just running Sauran by itself and I'm lacking something..

I'm running lineage rom with Boeffla kernel with twrp.

I saw you comment about music FX (is that the same as audiofx?) Anyway I just wondered if you / anyone could tell me how to optimise what I have to work with... if that means deleting or freezing anything etc.

Cheerz.
[Android Software Development] gehess:
As I may have mentioned before, I'm a fan of orchestral soundtracks with a HTC One M7. I had a bit of time over the weekend to do a clean install of AICP (20/5), after which I: added DT2W kernel, enabled BusyBox in Magisk, flashed Sauron (MK I.I), added ahrion's audmodlib_v1.4, added ahrion's Atmos (Axon 7) which didn't work, uninstalled Atmos and audmodlib using ahrion's uninstallers, re-added audmoblib, added Atmos (Le Pro 3) and V4A, and it's all working.

Had a quick listen and so far I haven't heard any distortion, even when using volume leveller in Atmos. Used to always get distortion with Dolby Digital Plus when playing the theme to Game of Thrones, but not now. Will have a more thorough listen to some other tracks, but this might just be the way to go. Working audio mods with the modularity that Magisk provides. No complaints from me. :thumbsup

edit: Oh, and this is all with SELinux Enforcing.
[Android Software Development] RubeusHagrid:

This worked for me. Finally! I never got Dolby to work even as a Magisk module in Enforcing.

[Android Software Development] CYoung234:
Sorry. I always get that wrong. The manual instructions before were to remove the soundfx folders from /system/lib and /system/lib64 as well as from /vendor/lib and /vendor/lib64, add a line to your build.prop that says "äudio.offload.disable=1" and reboot. Nero replaced those instructions, so you can ignore them. This is on a Nexus 5p, so your mileage will vary.
[Android Software Development] phantom146:
Well I am just wondering with Sauron's.. Would you [MENTION=6366997]UltraM8[/MENTION] still recommend to delete the soundfx folders etc. Or should we just leave it as it is? I remembered back on my hammerhead days that I tend to remove those folders.. I haven't done it though on 6p and would like to try it out but I still wanna wait for the dev's confirmation.
[Android Software Development] psynapsediveschwarz:
how to uninstall this if something happen?
[Android Software Development] manpildo:
Dirty flash your ROM.

[Android Software Development] syafeeq05:
Beautiful! The audio quality does improve, more clearer sound, better bass, thank you, but the volume is hugely drop. Not as loud as the stock. Plus, when I enable the Noozxoide audio and the Viper Audio, the volume drop much more. Tested on Nokia X, stock rom

@veez21 Can you make a terminal mod for add on arkamys mod preset? :)))
[Android Software Development] Kyuubi10:
Hehe, while I love classical, and anything acoustic... I must also give props to metal (not the growling or screamo kind).

The frequency range obtainable by a proper studio recording of drums, bass, distorted guitar and singing... It's insane.

Very comparable to a full orchestra.

They don't call it wall of sound for nothing.

To hear the separation in the instruments in a metal song, it's a challenge.

To hear the clear definition of high hats, while also not loosing strength in the kick drum.

Hear the natural nuances on the voice of the singer.

I must say, Metal is just the modern form of classical :P
[Android Software Development] xSilas43:
Totally agree, and Sauron makes my favorite melodic death metal sound incredible!

I think that Magisk 13 may have been the culprit. There may have to be some tweaks made in the future to make this compatible for Magisk users. I appreciate all the great work, and have been using for several months now.

if i want to use this with dolby, which one to flash first? Sauron or Dolby?
[Android Software Development] 24imelqui:
Last Sauron. If you have FC or V4a drivers failing to install, just reflash Audiomodlib again.
[Android Software Development] gehess:
I flashed Sauron first, uninstalled and reinstalled audmodlib, and then Atmos and V4A which are working lovely. Guess it depends on your device, ROM, etc.

Sorry to hear that. Just curious, is there a Nougat version of ViperOne for the M7? Because if you have the time I recommend the latest AICP ROM. I mod because I like configuring my M7, and AICP has some fantastic configuration options - not to mention it also has the latest Android security patches.

If it doesn't work with Bluetooth then you can always use Viper or biohazard as an alternative.

Hi. Since yesterday i am trying to install the mod on my 6P on Despair OS and Magisk. Somehow in this rom there seems to have an issue with the sound mod and magisk hide. I can make the mod run perfectly with magisk. As soon as i activate magisk hide i get constant fc on several apps (phone, sonos, android,....) an reboot. As soon as i deactivate magisk hide everything okay. first i thought it's v4a modul. But it's already fc when installing only sauron.... I need magisk hide for hiding root to citrix apps... So anybody having an idea?

[Android Software Development] gehess:
I've got and had every version of Sauron working on my M7. Perhaps it depends on having HBOOT 1.54 (the most recent bootloader for GPE and is newer than the last bootloader for Sense), TWRP 3.1.0-0, and a decent non-Sense (pun intended) ROM, such as AICP, Xenon, RR, etc. I use AICP which has Magisk baked-in and can't fault it. Oh, and when in doubt, clean flash your ROM. ;)
[Android Software Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Not related to hboot. But sense ROM for example is too old, maybe there is stuff in sauron which doesn't support earlier Android versions...
[Android Software Development] Zackptg5:
Don't use it. It's bugged and causes lots of issues like losing root. Use osmosis busybox (just Google it)
[Android Software Development] gehess:
I've had no problems with magisk busybox. It varies depending on your device, ROM, etc.
[Android Software Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
root only fails on LOS/AOSP roms. on stock roms, like htc sense or so it works fine without losing root
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Osmisis BB will be official part of next release)
[Android Software Development] gehess:
Hmmm, must be enough difference between AICP and LOS for AICP to work for me. Honestly, that combined with Sauron/V4A/Atmos is the best thing I've ever had on my M7. The sound is pretty much mind-blowing. Sauron on its own brings out subtleties I haven't heard before, but then I add Atmos and V4A and it's easily the best audio experience I've ever come across on a phone. It could probably compete with some dedicated stereo systems now, and with speakers smaller than my thumb. It's astonishing, simply astonishing.
[Android Software Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
why do you use two DSP ?
[Android Software Development] gehess:
Atmos and V4A? Atmos on its own produces a fantastic, cinematic surround experience (which is great for orchestral movie soundtracks that I listen to), but it's a bit lacking in the bass. I then add my V4A profile and it just rounds the sound out beautifully - through the speakers or cheap ear-buds. These speakers are tiny and need all the help they can get.

Through my monitor headphones I just use Sauron on its own or with Atmos if I'm in the mood. :)
[Android Software Development] nawie:
hmm, it's weird. i'm also using globerom,based on xiaomi.eu

but before flashing the zip file, i edited on folder common/audmodlib-propsqcp.prop then set flag to false.

also on file audmodlib-props.prop in flag alsa.mixer.playback.master changed from DAC1 to Speaker.

i hope that works :)
