Does this type of modding work with USB audio output? Do you need you edit the main audio policy, or the USB audio policy. I ask, because there are two different files on my device (OnePlus 7). Also I am not understanding why Narsil has to be removed to make the edits. Are you saying a) remove narsil for good, or are you stating b) remove narsil, make the edits as your described, them re-install narsil?

Also do you insert these xml edits after this point

<mixPort name="deep_buffer" role="source"

Or do I need to delete the word ",source"

Hi.anyone tried disable offload in narsil user options.im on lgv20..
[Android Software Development] mehrshad.shafaghi:
I just found out Ainur narsil breaks my K20 pro's front camera.

On some other rom it breaks bluetooth. I'm confused.

I zipped the log. It exceeded xda's size limit.
[Android Software Development] Rafasama:
So... there's a way to make device works with 48000hz sample rate ? I noticed it sounds better in my hardware. I'm only getting it by ytubemusic app.

It works like this : I boot device > open YouTube app>go to ainur James convolver setting> get a error saying hardware sample rate is 41000hz > close YouTube> go ymusic app > play music Wich sounds better> back to James >set a convolver Which works through 48000hz > back to YouTube app > it still using 48000 without a problem. My music players working with 48000hz without problem.

And with ymusic app I can have two sources of sound playing at same time. Android not interrupt this player if I open another. And James showing sample rate of all 48000hz. Really sounds better with my phone plus headphones. Also poweramp shows 48hz

I want 48hz as default :D
[Android Software Development] serpent android:
Hi all.i really like Narsil.and the sound is beautiful.but after its installayion ive noticed that theres no audio at all on incoming calls.. No mic and no speaker .the call is connected but bith parties cant hear . but when making outgoing calls the audio works fine.any solution folks?
[Android Software Development] Rafasama:
I saw some lines that are meant to fix áudio loss issues in narsil_useroptions file that is in the device's root, after editing that file you have to flash again (twice bcs the first will just uninstall). I guess that's a good advice but as you can see in that later post of mine (which i now realise is naive) I don't know much about this subject so wait for a proper response
[Android Software Development] serpent android:
The problem got fixed.in narsil user options i enabled Oap and Ap. When enabled they cause issues.so its better to leave them disabled. Still the audio is great!
[Android Software Development] Alexdelgadoperez98:
Any version of Ainur without modifying the bluetoth? On k20 pro bluetooth is not working with the last version.

Got Narsil working on HTC U11

You need to use latest TWRP 3.2.3-1

Get it here:

[Android Software Development] Cydras:
Hi Guys,

i would say a very big thanks for this mod! I used Sauron for my old Nexus 7 (2012) (AOSP 7.1), and it sounds very good :D

I use this tablet as in car dashboard, with aux on my stereo.

But unfornately with 1GB Ram the tablet is a bit slow, so i would buy a new one.

Does anyone of you use tablets with Sauron?
[Android Software Development] bick:
That's quite an old version of Android......not sure about that being a problem.

Where is the installation error seen? in TWRP? Magisk? What device are you using?

I got latest TWRP for my device and that fixed installation errors.
[Android Software Development] newXDAuser2014:
The installation was failing when trying to install through magisk. I've managed to install in twrp, however the narsil_useroptions file is empty and the size is 0 bytes, sauron_useroptions can't be edited (can't save changes).

How can I use this mod to change my left/right headphone balance?
[Android Software Development] castrum_doloris:
No. Use Viper4Android or a kernel manager (for example SmartPack Kernel Manager) if your kernel supports it.

Maybe you could set smth in build.prop too. But I don't think so
[Android Software Development] ste2610:
Hi, long term user of the Sauron module however since updating my phone (xiaomi mi 8 pro) to android 10 I am getting the following error in magisk (v20) during the instillation. Can anyone help? I attached the log but not sure it's much help.

I have a Xiaomi mi a2 lite

Which one is better for me, sauron or narsil?
[Android Software Development] Walden0:
Sauron should be better as a2 lite isn't a high end device. Still you can try both to experience yourself
[Android Software Development] buddy66:
It does not work on my S9+ with Pie on it. I installed AML, Sauron and James DSP but Tidal wont start playback with FLAC or MQA files. Pulsar+ music player only plays AAC and FLAC files. It skips the mp3s.

EDIT: After 2 reboots it started working :confused::silly:
[Android Software Development] vinoxflame:
did you tried flashing it through TWRP?
[Android Software Development] ste2610:
Thanks! did not see this in the OP. When installing via TWRP it appeared to go smoothly until after the thanks to and then I got a similar error about mounting /dsp. My phone would then no loger turn on without uninstalling magisk :( new log attached. Any help would be greatly appreciated

[Android Software Development] grifovunque:
Good evening to all

I am on redmi note 7 with aosp custom rom based on Android 10, I use viper4android and works but not very well.

This mode "sauron" can work on my smartphone?

Have you some help for me , some tip and tricks?

Thank you
[Android Software Development] Kusoo:
which rom have you installed?
[Android Software Development] dcxtraeon:
viper4android in some cases requires you phone's SeLinux to be on permissive. If you choose to install both Sauron and Viper4android via magisk then you'll need Audio Modification Library (AML) installed as well.

Hi I'm such an amateur in these things!

So could you pls tell me exactly how to use this mod on my LG G2?

I don't know which files to download so pls tell me the exact ones!!

And one more thing. As long as i have many customizations on this rom, do I HAVE TO re-flash it?

I have an LG G2 d805 running an stock based rom.

Pls help. Thnaks

Send me your mixer paths (/system/etc/mixer_paths). Will take a look
[Android Software Development] DrugsBunny:
Working fine on lg g5 how can I boost the volume though? Normally I just edit the mixer path headphone but doesn't seem to work with this mod?

[Android Software Development] Kyuubi10:
Hey Dev... Here's my feedback on on your soundmod.

In short, it confuses me.

In detail:

I know you added Alsa processing, which is great... But the other choices don't make much sense.

1. On the above list of "features" regarding the Kronos mod, you say "improved overall quality"...

How exactly have you improved audio quality?

What improvements were made?

2. DAC Voltage hack... How does that help? Couldnt find a description regarding this.

3. New libs base... Which libs? From where?

What changes have you done on top of this base?

4. Where did you port Arkamys from?

Also, why is there no mention of Arkamys in OP even though it is included in Audio_effects?

5. Why is your port of Dolby software only? Especially on HTC 10, where it processes dolby both in HW and SW. This is a reduction in quality compared to stock HTC.

6. You say Ainur plays nice with AcoustiX by [MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION].

But your mod completely overwrites AcoustiX (your ds1-default.xml overwrites Zero's one).

This makes his signature frequency curve useless.

I actually like AcousticX presets.

This i believe might be a sincere mistake on installation instructions.

You should flash Kronos FIRST and then flash AcousticX SECOND. This ensures Zero's presets overwrites yours.

In summary, I don't understand what you are trying to achieve with your sound mod... There's no description of what your mod is and what it is trying to achieve. (generic description such as improve sound is not valid, since ALL soundmods aim to improve sound).

I'm trying to understand HOW you are improving the sound.

On that note the feedback on the actual sound...

Weird... I wouldnt go as far as saying it's bad.

But it's definitely NOT what I'm looking for. AcoustiX works much much better on its own for my taste in sound.

Looking forward to your reply!
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Lol, thx for this whole text man) We are not dealing with any software effects anymore, next version is out of effect confs & dolby setups. Ainur is balancing audio focused more on hw stuff, instead of sw crap that is just an eq (dolby&others). No matter what sw you use - they all will go thu mixer/policy/standart sound libs - this is what we deal with. Cut dolby from the system, put proper 24/192 flac & enjoy music the way it was meant to be heared (almost the way it was written/rendered/ripped from vinyl) without any weird modulations that just kill the whole signal. I prefer to tune everything with Rachmaninov concerts - there is no way it will "rock" with stuff like Sony virtualizer for example, or Maxxaudio s***t. If u were looking closely - u would see that previous versions of acoustix were using alsa stuff, so u really had to flash it first & then install Ainur in order to patch some confs. Since zero is now dealig with dolby, i will rewrite installation instructions - big sorry for that, i just don't have the time for it & i'm still waiting for reply of the guy who's making measurements with his studio equipment.
[Android Software Development] threetwentyfizzle:
Thanks for breaking it down and explaining. Are you using an HTC 10? Do you have any thoughts or hypothesis on lags/freezing when playing music with this mod? I posted here a week or 2 ago, after I flashed V4, whenever I would play any sort of audio file, the music app I would play it from would become extremely unresponsive. It would take several seconds to register any input such as skipping tracks, pausing, or even navigation around the app. This occurred with both the stock HTC Music App, as well as Google Play Music.

To me it felt like the CPU was lagging due to processing and playing the audio, although I had read from Deeez_Nuzzz saying he didn't have any lag or freezing issues using the mod.

Lastly, I only flashed the mod, I was using AcoustiX v29 from Zeroinfinity before.

[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
I'm on m9 using 10 framework/libs port. IDK on what rom u are using, many people on 4pda doesen't have any issues. This might be the problem with kernel tho, not the rom itself, or weird pnp values.

Both

---------- Post added at 08:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------

You can try both just not at the same time. One or the other they both should work on your device. Again, what was stated above if you're going to use Viper or jdsp flash audio modification library from magisk repo last.
[Android Software Development] dcxtraeon:
You can install either Sauron or Narsil, but only one can be installed at a time. Uninstall all of your existing audio mods and Install audio mods from Magisk in this exact order: Ainur > Viper4Android > Audio Mod Library (AML)

[Android Software Development] DroidIt!:
Narsil worked perfect for me on Android 10 on One Plus 7 pro, the only issue was I lost YouTube video sound. ?
[Android Software Development] Luba0609:
Tried both Sauron and Narsil. Both are better than stock, with Sauron my personal favorite. My phone is ZTE Axon Mini which has a dedicated DAC. My current setup is in the order, Magisk, Busybox, ACP, Sauron, AML, JDSP. Thank you all...

... one more thing, I edited the UO for a 45 step volume control... :)
[Android Software Development] gatlinnewhouse:
Maybe try an updated gcam apk from xda?

Honestly a dealbreaker. Too bad Sauron has an issue with gcam. I wonder if another camera app or an updated gcam apk would work?

Any fix for LG G7 and jamesdsp not working (app is force closing)? Pie, Stock, Magisk
[Android Software Development] Animouse31:
I have a problem that the sound will revert back to the low quality after for a long use.

And every time I want to listen music, I must restart the phone.

I don't know, may be because it's replaced by other sound system after a phone call, ringtone, watching YouTube, etc.

I wonder if anyone ever had similar issue?

My sound setting:

Masik Killsound sound system

KangarooX firmware

Ainur Nasril

JamesDSP

Viper4Android
[Android Software Development] Stupifier:
Don't think it is recommended to use any sound mods in addition to the ones in this thread
[Android Software Development] jcmm11:
For starters I'd say, since they do basically the same thing, use JamesDSP or Viper - not both. I have no clue what Killsound or KangarooX do
[Android Software Development] greyhd:
You should flash AML and audio compatability modules from magisk. I have not tried using both viper and James dsp even if that is recommended from their telegram group.
[Android Software Development] serpent android:
narsil should work better.lg has good dac
[Android Software Development] Animouse31:
Killsound is one of Masik ROM sound systems you can choose during the installation process. Each of them has a different sound signature, I prefer Killsound because it sounds more natural.

KangarooX is a custom kernel. But it also came with audio improvement like 32 bit and 384 kHz audio playback support, as well as other things that make Killsound above sounds better.

I don't know why, but JamesDSP will not work if I didn't install Viper driver.

JamesDSP menu will crash immediately just after I open the app.

Yes, I also installed AML.

But whatever with AML or without, the sound will be reset to low quality after using the phone for a bit long. I tried many things and many audio mod configurations, but I can't find the source of the problem.

It's like the audio doesn't use the Ainur Nasril engine and switched back to default or old sound system, maybe after there's a phone call, notification sound, etc. I must restart the phone so it will use the Ainur Nasril engine again.
[Android Software Development] greyhd:
Maybe install one mod at a time and see which one works. I have viper working in my pixel 2 xl.
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Masik stuff is rekanged from xtrememe & several other non-working mods from 2012-14 times. Absolute bs, stay away from that crap.
[Android Software Development] Animouse31:
Latest version of Masik is very good.

I think it's the best MIUI ROM so far.

You must install the latest version of custom kernel, to make every new features and improvements work fine.

---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

I combined Viper and JamesDSP together.

Viper for clarity and JamesDSP for the bass.

I just increase it a bit, as the Nasril is already quite bright but the bass are less rounded.
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
People send me some of the audio stuff from his roms for couple of years - all that is kanged from various old mods, that never fully worked themselves. Idk what's going on more recent roms he does, but I don't care tbh. Regarding the kanged work on audio I would never try anything from him on the kernel/side. I'm not even sure that is not kanged from eu/miroom with some extra bs on top.

Because of the way narsil works (it's simply modifying various existing files) you're not going to see anything referencing it in logcat.

If you look in magisk.log then somewhere close to the front you should see something that looks like

After every notification, there's a "pop". So the sound plays as normal and then "pop". Disabling all James DSP effects, but leaving the power enabled still induces the pop. After disabling James DSP the pop goes away.
