Firstly, sorry if this is against the rules, I have included credit wherever applicable and am open to any and all improvements.

HTC AUDIO COMPILATION THREAD

I just got an HTC 10 recently and got pulled into the audio mod scene, and the spent over 12 hours trawling through every forum post under the face of the earth to find some way to get my imperceptibly better audio fix working.

This thread is an attempt to help with that by including working files and configurations for the HTC 10, and nothing else.

THIS IS A WORK IN PROCESS AND I DO NOT MAKE ANY GUARANTEES ABOUT THE MODS OR SOFTWARE LINKED FROM HERE

Quick post and reservation for future.

Working config for me with each step included (relevant or not, just in case)

Dirty flashed rom to remove traces of v4a (Using Venom)
Installed busybox and xposed
Flashed Metaspook's V4A-MK latest and kernel (Elite)
Booted and gave V4A-MK superuser permissions
Installed driver through V4A-MK
Immediately (soft) rebooted

TO MAKE IRS FILES WORK YOU MUST GO TO SETTINGS>APPS>V4A-MK AND GIVE IT STORAGE PERMISSIONS

V4A was working for me after this, but I do not take responsibility if it does not work for you.

I recommend Dolby atmos 6.6 also made by @ahrion.

I believe the link is in the Original HTC10 audio thread as well.

Also ViperAudio. 4.8 and ViperAtmos. 4.8 by guitarededhero, and others that contributed and tested to make those go to mods for me.

Viper's I mentioned can be found on xda, software development forum. Feel free to link below.

Literally just solved this problem myself, you just need to give V4A-MK storage permissions in Settings>Apps>V4A-MK and the IRS files will show up fine. Adding to OP.

I use Jabra Bluetooth Step headphones. I **ALWAYS** used Viperaudio 4.8
Viperatmos 4.8
Dolby atmos
Am3Dzirene 6.0- using it now, very nice.
Project ARISE, EXODUS, etc.. Great group of peeps. Not sure if still compatible with our device.
V4A-MK Mod-works great but use correct version #

Okay, all of this is so complex I dont even know what to say
Would be great to have the best sound available. Is there maybe a custom ROM for HTC 10 with integrated Viper4Android sound mod ?
I know to unlock bootloader, root, flash rom etc.

just try flashing the metaspook V4A-MK zip

Anyone here uses external USB DAC with their V4A?

 

[madcowintucson]

I haven't tried a USB dad but I want to. On that note the hdmi output works perfectly. All our TV's have built in days and also sounbars and recievers. Why there is no stand alone dads that I can find with hdmi input I am really not sure. Dies hdmi have better audio than USB I do not know either but sounds damn fine to me. If you just want to had a separate headphone dac/amp then I think any with an xmos processor will work. Also the soundblaster E5 sounds pretty good and should connect.

were you getting force closes, freezes etc? i think it is either due to busybox or init.d support, the v4amk thread has links to flashable zips for both and after flashing them both it stopped those problems, not sure exactly what it was though.

Yeah it would freeze. I also might have had a bad from at the time. Its been a feature packed week.

Got BusyBox installed from Google play now.

Crucial step for sure.

V4A works great when using Play Music, but I'm having trouble getting it to run on any other music app, even youtube and my web browser. I even have it set on FX Compatible Mode.

just try flashing the metaspook V4A-MK zip

Im going to try to flash this. Im on the latest Leedroid ROM. is the zip all i need to flash as on his thread it says to flash a Kernel.init zip aswell. Also if something goes wrong do i just dirty flash ROM to get rid of it?

Edit: so i just tryed to install the mk mod zip and it worked fine but after installing the drivers and rebooting the app just freezes and so does phone. I tryed witht he init.d zip aswell and still the same. How do i get this working? Im on leedroid R155 which has the updated busybox.

Edit 2: set selinux to permissive and all works now.

 

[justcallmeTHEKID]

why no AcoustiX on the list?
