Great MOD, sounds great even by itself.

Is there any big compatibility issues with stock Samsung 7.0 ROMS? I was able to get James DSP and Sauron MKII working, but when they're both installed James DSP stops processing while Sauron still works. I've tried flashing James DSP or Sauron first but have the same issue.

Hello.

Thank you for your work, I am using this mod for a few months on a Alcatel Idol 3 with AK4375 DAC inside which can play up to 32 bit.

My question is can you do something so this mod can play through the akm dac?
[Android Software Development] slimcyril:

So this is why on red wolf recovery it won´t install and give a Error 2 output?

oh and by the way James DSP isn´t working in version 2.1 mean by James DSP i got error output 255

Redmi Note 3 Pro with latest Recovery from RED Wolf Recovery Based on TWRP 3.2.1
[Android Software Development] cadkey:
Uninstall your old version in Recovery and flash SAURON MK II new version.

same with Magisk, you need uninstall old module and install MK II update.
[Android Software Development] suvam69:
Just flashing the Mk II zip file through TWRP will do it?
[Android Software Development] Maximaro:
Thank you so far..

I just made a clean install and didn´t install Magisk (So long i do not use it...) and no Kernel.

And install files are running without error =)

But i do not see the James DSP =/
[Android Software Development] Hackintoshler:
James DSP crashed.
[Android Software Development] Nidai Sennin:
Just to report,

with the last update of the magisk Sauron module the volume is better in the sense that it is now linear, no spike in the middle. But its still too loud, like the minimum possible is too loud to listen at night. The mid volume is also a lot higher if u start increasing from zero, than if u reduce it comming from maximum. Thanks for all your work.
[Android Software Development] newyesor:
I am flash the Mk II zip file through TWRP but it not see app mod.

I use file the MK II last version on first page.

I am test on HTC U11 with Oreo version.

[Android Software Development] paradix^:
Hi,

I want to try my luck here, since the patch I have problems with apparently is included in the AINUR Mod.

I have a ZTE Axon 7 A2017G, and I have installed the patch to enable the AK4490 HIFI DAC.

Since than every time I listen to music the sound quality if good, but I get random interrupts in playback. It's like the music player would get a hiccup.

For now I haven't figure out any solution for getting rid of it. A phone restart usually helps for some time, but that's obviously not a solution.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ok bro..,but am using Cosmic Os for kenzo with Oreo 8.1 and i didn't get any changes...,in twrp,its showing error /DSP folder not found
[Android Software Development] Stupifier:
What exactly are you flashing? The Ainur audio mod works on AOSP 8.1 for me. If you are talking about the various other mods and JamesDSP, I dunno
[Android Software Development] Rahul C Nair:
Am flashing the above file shown in the ss...,is that it? Or the effect is only detectable in headphones?
[Android Software Development] FighterBoyZ:
This thing was amazing before but after installing latest magisk version I can hear the difference. I have no words. ?????

OnePlus5 oxygenos 5.0.1 oreo 8.0 and magisk 15.3. Module is working great so far.

Edit. Talking about the Sauron MK ll mod.
[Android Software Development] fdgd1998:
How does this works on a HTC 10 with oreo custom rom? Is this mod also compatible with dolby atmos?
[Android Software Development] tsalta:
Hello buddy yes should work on Oreo as well also it is working with U11 Oreo so you can try and flash it!

I don`t know why most of the people ask for Atmos when the mod is enought by itself often when something is simple works better.

The mod by defaut force DTS and i think this is way better than Dolby.

im still on the Nougat but my favorite settings for this Mod are

Forcing 32bit Audio working perfectly fine!

Enabling ShoeBox audio driver.

and AptiX/HD drivers as well.

no problems everything works the sound is amazing.
[Android Software Development] fdgd1998:
Can you explain me how to force the 32 bit audio, enable the ShoeBox and the AptiX/HD drivers?

And will this makes any malfunction installed along magisk? Because a lot of of people are reporting stuttered audio in customs roms.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Software Development] Nidai Sennin:
With a file explorer, navigate to the internal memory and edit the file named sauron_useroptions. The file has instructions, but basically put 32 in the bitesize. Then reinstall Sauron with the edited file in the internal memory and thats it. (please correct me if I'm wrong)

In case of doubt it's described on the first posts of this thread.

I'm using Magisk, and have no crackling sounds, but i guess it also depends on your phone's hardware.
[Android Software Development] fdgd1998:
And the rest??
[Android Software Development] Nidai Sennin:
The same, edit the file, all the options are there. The instructions are in the beginning of the file.

For shoebox for example edit the corresponding line to true:

qc.install.shoebox=true

Mmmm,sorry i know that its still vague.

But i want your opinion about ShoeBox effect,so what do you think about the sound after enable this opt?Wider?more '3d like'?or?
[Android Software Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
It shouldn't effect it. And if it's so barely to see that you don't have to worry about. Like I said, barely more drain that with enabled offload
[Android Software Development] Mugatu485:
Thanks for the help!

I am still not sure if Pandora has been fully initialized so far.

Howsoever, I think I will stay with the hack from Post #6 since it gave me the best results in terms of clean audio so far. Especially in comparision with the vanilla audio of my rom.
[Android Software Development] joberror:
Asidr from using Viper4Android with it, this is a great sound mod. Easy to install and the sound feels original. Kudos to the admin for such great work
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
IDK on battery life, but since disabling offload means HW DAC rendering, instead of using the Google's android api - it might be better)
[Android Software Development] theoctavist:
I have a question. it seems as if the hack (build.prop mod) does something to impede viper4android install

so is it possible to do the viper4android DSP (i have a custom .irs for my headphones) in conjunction with the pandora and build.prop hack ?

if so, what is the correct order? and furthermore, are there any things I need to do on the poweramp settings(for viper you have to disable DVC/etc )
[Android Software Development] htb2050:
You can use ainur and viper combined but you can't use the hack with any of them only alone because the hack disables every other sound mod and routes the audio through hardware DAC so no software effects at all.
[Android Software Development] udtul:
But V4A is working perfectly with this hack.I have enabled this hack in huawei p8 lite stock rom 5.0.2.

I have huawei DTS enabled and sounds very good.

Correct me if I am wrong
[Android Software Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
yea but only if the hac kis done before you flash v4a, otherwise the lib for v4a is removed too and then it won't work
[Android Software Development] udtul:
Ok bro got it I applied hack after v4a flashing.
[Android Software Development] joberror:
V4A works perfectly but you'll need to flash the mod before installing v4A. I have tons of IRS and it's working to perfection.
[Android Software Development] hansonchen:
that's the best & detail explanation about sound & sound mod. i wanted to express the same sentiment but i know it'll fall on deaf ears of those sheep. what they're doing, believing, praising, developing, etc & all you want to name it, is akin to having a high-end amplifier (ie. your phone's DAC) & ruined the sound by adding tons of equalizers (ie. v4a with different devices libs, soundfx, beats, irs, etc) unit on top of it in search of a miracle & sound perfection suiting every ears, earphones, headphones, head-units, speakers, etc, that's madness.

ultram8 just revealed the simplest basic sound hack achieve-able by removing every effects. the point is, listen to what you have then improve to your own listening preference (not others). if needed, add a mod, listen, improve what's lacking, that's all. our ears can't tell & differentiate every bit of frequencies it receives & describing the sound you hear is so subjective. i'd say, ainur pandora is perfect for me. i'm lucky to have an s4 with Wolfson DAC as a base. thank you again ultram8 for sharing this finding & share with us, it really is awesome.

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

You're doing it wrong if you want to get ainur sound experience dude. V4a has its own libs that'll overwrite some of ainur's libs. Open both zip & check for yourself if you don't believe. Then again, your method gives out different sound that may suit your listening ideals. Find your own sound perfection

Ps. If you're talking about the hack, it's meant to be free of any soundfx. V4a comes with libs in soundfx, so what you're hearing isn't raw & direct from your DAC if it's flashed after the hack
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Thank all of you guys! Doing the best i can to deliver closed-to-perfect output on your devices)

I also want to show everyone what is THE REAL PORTING!

This guy is doing some hardcore closed-arm porting of audio related features (not just effects but flingers also!) - and this is the real deal. Not what others claim to be "working features".

Speaking of v4a - every external effect (dolby, v4a, etc) is using android api (read soundfx libs) for output rendering, so with that hack you won't notice any improvement.
[Android Software Development] theoctavist:
What do I need to provide for you to port to moto g 2015? I'm more than happy to test scientifically for you (I have access to a very nice sound lab )

[Android Software Development] NetWasp:
[MENTION=6366997]UltraM8[/MENTION] I have a question, can you correct me if I am wrong:

1: ARISE (and others v4a, Dolby ATMOS etc) are all pseudo/software effects?

2: Ainur is a hardware based sound decoder.

and my question to you is, how do you shape the audio using your mod?

thanks
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
1. Every external effect is working with the whole android api routing - soundfx libs. But still plenty of software effects use device/vendor/hw specific stuff, so things like Sony effects, DTS, beats, many other stuff - is not working for most of the devices.

2. Your device is an HW decoder/encoder, so the best thing you can do is push it to the limits. Yes i'm looking into hardware stuff, but we are also dealing with default API - soundfx libs, you can change them with Pandora, or even completely get rid of with hack. There is still lots of things like policy, mixer, buildprop, kernel stuff that may give very interesting results
[Android Software Development] tsalta:
ShoeBox set to = true

AptiX = true

Force the bitrate to 32 just tipe = 32

Devices with SD 820 and above should not have problems with 32 Bit audio so i dont have any shutter sound or anything im also with custum Magisk Viper ROM

Shoebox is like 3D driver similar to Sphere HTC use to use Sphere alot in the sound by default i prefer Shoebox because you have 3D but simple its soung good on the same time no so much 3D like artificial stuff.

When you do that and save the file with the settings you need to flash Sauron and during the flash he will read your preferences and will install the drivers and mods you enable!

---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------

ShoeBox is 3D driver similar to Sphere so there is no reason to use Both together because both are 3D drivers, HTC use alo Sphere by default in many devices but Shoebox is a newer driver newer than Sphere so the sound is good it had deep feeling and wide it have 3D effect but on the same time sound natural not so Sarrounding like Artificial Surround if you understand what i mean try it by yourself.

The name ShoeBox speak for himself the Bass is more lets say like a BOX like in a buffer BOM. So in my opinion Shoebox is less 3D than Sphere but sound better. this all depends from the user what he want!
[Android Software Development] james3460297:
I thought it was because your ROM currently using refuse to create effect.

What I found is effect engine doesn't crash, but apps does, reason is cannot create effect.
[Android Software Development] Maximaro:
Thank you !

I have sayed to the Dev =)
[Android Software Development] handers1234:
Thx mate,you know its not instant on/off effect so it kind of hard for me to notice the difference,so yeah i need to know what it do first.Gotta try myself now
[Android Software Development] lynnux:
I've just started using the Magisk module version of MKII, and have a question about the process for making changes to the sauron_useroptions file. Instructions for doing this through the zip file say to reinstall Sauron after making changes to the useroptions file. With the Magisk module, do I remove the module after making changes and then add the module back? Will that incorporate the changes? Or is it recommended to go the zip route if you're going to make changes?
[Android Software Development] Nidai Sennin:
The volume isn't working well for me, Today i was listening to a podcast, and the voices start low and then get really loud. It's like the volume jumps uninstalled sauron and with stock boomsound it plays normal. It sounds so much better with sauron but this volume issue renders it almost unusable. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Gonna stick to stoct until new update or try it again when Leedroid Oreo comes out
[Android Software Development] greenza:
I've upgraded to Leedroid Oreo and this mod works really well, volume levels are correct and not too loud as it was with the Nougat version.

SAURON MK III preparations

Sauron needs you!

Celebrating 1000th telegram user with more info on future development:)​

In new year's press-release, I've mentioned that i want to expand Sauron on other platforms, than Qualcomm. I really want to find new ways to improve/tune/etc audio on Exynos, MTK, Kirin and other cpu based devices. To achieve that lot's of info & testing needed, but information gathering first.

Qualcomm users - everything is already fine for you, you don't need it)

Make sure you've read everything below & did exactly as mentioned there:

1. Getprop dumps

You'll need Terminal app from market, it'll also ask for root rights. To get mixer dump you'll need to open it & type:

su
getprop>sdcard/getprop

Output dump file will be saved on sdcard

2. Build.prop file

Located at /system. Copy it somewhere.

3. Mixer files from EXYNOS devices

Files are at /system/etc/mixer_path.xml (could be multiple files, copy them somewhere. On Oreo files could be at /vendor/etc)

4. Mixer dumps

You will need Terminal app again.

In some cases (for old devices for example) there could be no tinymix binary. You'll have to manually add it in /system/bin & give 755 rights, according to cpu architecture - 32, or 64bit. Then reboot and do the following in this paragraph.

32bit tinymix

64bit tinymix

In terminal app type:

su
tinymix

Important - you have to make dump 3 times for following conditions - music on with headphones, music on with speaker and music off (completely, no headphones). Gathered dump outputs put in 3 different txt files, named as: mixerdump_headphones, mixerdump_speaker, mixerdump_off.

5. For МТК

We have to figure out how your mixer is working, to achieve that we'll need these files:

audio_device.xml

audio_em.xml

WHOLE audio_param folder

Files and folder are located at /system/etc or /vendor/etc

6. Kirin devices

We need folder named as audio, located at /system/etc or /vendor/etc.

7. Policy configs

In /system/etc you will find audio_policy.conf (or .xml, for Оreo file could be located in /vendor/etc)

8. Amplifiers cofigs

For some devices there could be some speaker amplifier files named as tfa98XXX (9XXX or in any other variations), located at /system/firmware, or /system/etc

To easily find and locate them, type in Terminal app:

find /sys -name '*tfa*'

Locate files and copy them somewhere. Also take a screenie of the command execution results and save this one too

All files you've gathered following instructions above pack into ZIP archive, name it as devicemodel_cpumodel, depending on your device name/brand and your cpu number. Example: Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Prime_mt6795.zip.

Post zips HERE

Let the expansion begin!
