Update mentioned above will work only on Sauron MK II betas, that are out now only on telegram. Be aware guys, stable I.IV's will be broken.
Also just FYI Ainur is not *required* to use the "Ainur JamesDSP" module (it works without Ainur too).
How do I know if it's installed?
Also, does it fix Android upscaling?
How do I know if it's installed? Is there an app to make adjustments or anything?
[AINUR AUDIO] (named after John R.R Tolkien mythology) mod was conceived on 12th January 2016 at Russian 4pda forum, with an idea to create the ultimate universal tuning solution, that can help people get more from their devices in terms of audio capabilities. Ever since that time we have been aiming at achieving new heights & providing you with a set of different mods (now archived): Pandora as universal SW optimizer, Nero as coloration fx remover, Kronos & Atlant as specific variety of device dependent mods with heavy tuning for different qualcomm cpu's. This allowed us to experiment & to find limitations of what can be tuned in terms of software & hardware within different smartphone configurations.
We were also first to successfully implement hex disassembling method for proper effects porting. Further hex investigations showed that other audio "mods" contained nothing but huge amounts of bloat files, that needlessly took up massive amounts of space on system partitions. Our disagreement with the developers of said mods at times resembled a genuine "war". The discovery of our disassembling method, proper implementation of basic mods & port addons (along with quite a bit of patience) brought you our best solution yet, to help optimize sound on your android device and reach the desired high level of quality, regardless of device manufacturer or cpu.
To go further we now starting a new era of audio mods with a brand new SAURON modification to bring you best sound ever in the audio modding history.

Also, does it fix Android upscaling?
There is no app. Check for scripts in su for SuperSu, for magisk it's pretty obvious. What is "android upscaling"?
Lol are you sure about that? Id be surprised if both are actually working underneath outside v4a/Dolby/wtfever you install as part of whatever version you are installing. And if you just mean Dolby/v4a as has been said over and over they have worked fine for ages

My guess is he means upsampling, aka the 44.1khz -> 48khz translation that android is well known for doing
Well, it depends on android actually, there might be no way to overcome that, either then compile something super-custom kernel & rom wise)
The best thing i can do - support people that are listening to uncompressed formats, by making them persistent switchers to force needed bitsize & sampling via mixer. That's what i did for MK II, i'm sure QC dsp & codec will handle that without any dowsampling from their side. So hopefully via offloading you'll pass that.
this by far the best sound mod ive ever use. I have try everything from arise to pdesire mod and it sound so harsh and over processed.. from jazz to reggae the sound is so clean, natural, and balanced. thanks very much for making this mod. now waiting for the official release.

Can you add an image of what the scripts look like in superuser?
Yes it should work. I am using it on le max x900 which also has ESS sabre DAC. Results are mind blowing. Don't hesitate.
Just remember, I recommend clean flash for best results although it's not necessary.
Yes, beta 6 already is heading over not using QC codec for audio processing (at least how i understand the way to do that) for devices with Dac chips. Also i'm gonna bring some features for dac powered devices, later on.

New years greetings & Sauron MK II launch
Sauron MK III preparations. Seeking community help!335[Ainur SAURON] MK III
MOD IS ON PAUSE, IS NOT UPDATED FOR LONG TIME AND WON'T BE ANYTIME SOON
Basic features:
- Android 5.0 - 9.0 support
- Unity installer by @ahrion and @Zackptg5
- Qualcomm/Exynos/MTK/Kirin/Rockchip/Spreadtum cpu's support
- ARM 32/64 bit support
- Android SFX blobs eplacements (musicfx & audiofx apps might no longer work)
- Cherry picked setprops
- Automatic su.d/init.d/addon.d detection
- Supported roots: Magisk 18+ /SuperSu/CMsu/PHH/LosSU/No root
- AML addons ready
- OTA surviving
Advanced features:
- Qualcomm codec mixer tunings
- Htc u11/u11+, m9, 10, m8 speaker amps patches and additions
- OnePlus 5/5T, Mi 8UD/EE, Mi a2. Pixel 1/XL, Pixel 2/XL, Pocophone speaker amp DSP modifications
- Forced Hexagon DTS Headphone:X module processing, mixer controls & custom config
- * DAC powered devices mixer edits:
- LG v20/30/30+/g6/g7
- LeEco x800/x900
- Nubia z11/z9/z9m
- Axon 7 (moved to custom kernel)
- Lenovo vibe X3
* Parameters forcing for DACs is achieved with mixer additions, thus either framework, or service apps can reset some values back to stock. Sorry, but it seems like device manufacturers doesen't want us to mess with these thing. There is a solution, but unfortunately it won't happen till probably next major version.
User determined features:
You can set these features with sauron_useroptions (UO) file, by placing it to the root of the internal storage. Installer will place the file there during the install, if it's not there already. After resetting values you have to reinstall Sauron each time you want to try/set something new. Some of the stuff there can break sound completely - there is no fix for that, you have to reset stuff back & don't use some of the features that breaks normal use of your device.
I've commented pretty every single thing there with all the info I know by this moment, make sure not to bother me with questions like "wut is dat XXXX feature for, dude?" please

Xda's sound mods history goes deep down in ages, but there is one particular myth that stays strongly. This myth is based off idea that we can port some external software effect from one device to another. That is completely wrong & most technologies CAN'T be ported.
192[Addons] ported audio effects & standalone DSPs
These are third-party effect ports & standalone DSPs which can be used on their own, or combined with Ainur mods.
To use multiple Ainur mods/addons magisk users have to install AML module from magisk repo
