Does someone still have the old 3.4 zip of jamesdsp hosted or saved somewhere.? If so could someone pm it to me please, I'd appreciate it.

Recently it occurred to me that the only reason my phone is rooted is to use JamesDSP.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but since the new update has gone open-sourced, is it possible for someone to make a music player with jamesDSP built into it for non-root users? That would be amazing IMHO. Or if someone could merge an existing music player and JamesDSP.
I'm kinda tired of the cat-and-mouse game of SafetyNet, hiding root from bank apps, etc.
Please forgive me if my idea sounds silly or whatnot. I'm not a developer.

Yeah, it's about time we don't need root to use JamesDSP, magisk also degrade performance on older phones.

Unfortunately there only exist two apps providing convolution and both need root.
Any chance we will get an android player app with an integrated convolver, even if it's not applied systemwide?
HLC (hang loose convolver) is planned also for android, but it will be VERY expensive and pursuits a different pupose.
The hiby player app of the hiby r5/6/8 provides a convolution plugin,but unfortunately it's not availbale in the standalone android hiby-player app.
The two available plugins are "efotech SVirtualiser"and "USpatializer", developed/ lead by James Fung and Joseph Yeung ("Joe Bloggs"), so I have a clou who contributed the convolution plugin for hiby.
I hope, there is a way to make the convolution plugin of the hiby r5/6/8 hiby-player app available for the standalone android "hiby music" player app.

Can I install it on samsung a70

 

[Xitrano]

Do you mean JDSPmanager or the hiby app of the r5/6/8 dap with the convolution plugin?
You need root for jdsp, so an US a70 with the snapdragon won't work due to the unlockable bootloader. With the exynos version it's possible but getting harder and harder these days.
The convolution plugin isn't available in the standalone "hiby music" player app, we need someone with a hiby r5/6/8 player who can extract the apk containing the plugin and install/ test it on an android smartphone.

I mean the dsp manager

 

[Vishesh88]

My bootloader is unlocked on my Samsung galaxy A70, I already have magisk app on my device I want to install the dsp manager on my device via magisk module

So you're ready to go.
Check the download link in the OP and install the module via Magisk.
Sometimes the APK is missing after the flash, in this case unpack the magisk module and install the APK you'll find inside the usual way.

 

[Vishesh88]

Thanks, I install it successfully .

Is there any way for me to reduce the pre-gain below -15dB?

On my phone I find the volume way too sensitive when listening through headphones, anything above like 5-10% is too loud, this mod helps to improve the situation with pre-gain set to -15dB, but I am wondering if it is possible to reduce the volume output even further?

It didn't work for me it sound distorted and laggy every time on my samsung device if it doesn't work for you download viper4android module it sound better than jdsp.

I face similar problem, but I solve it differently - by adding more granular volume control. By adding more steps I am able to fine tune volume for sensitive IEMs and I can keep "normal" gain. It is fairly easy to modify number of steps, just modify this text in module's system.prop file:

ro.config.media_vol_steps=40

Module: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/module-magisk-17-volume-steps-extender.3843492/

Thank you, yes, I should've mentioned that I tried this already and it did help. The custom ROM I am using actually has a volume steps customisation built into the settings so I don't have to use the Magisk module or make changes to the build.prop.

My problem is more that I have a volume slider that goes from 0 to 100%, but I can't use more than the first 10% because anything over that is too loud. What I wanted is to lower the volume of that 100% value so the rest of the slider becomes less sensitive (and more usable)

By setting the pre-gain to -15dB it with JDSP it does what I wanted, and I since realised that I can lower the volume further by setting a custom EQ with all of the sliders aligned flat horizontally at a lower placement:

So I think that makes it better!

I have a ague memory opf people ith the exact opposite problem as you, and there is a config file somewhere in their ROM which enables settoing an overriding gain. Sorry I cant help more with your search.

With such sensitive headphones, you might be interested in hardware solution as well - check iFi iEMatch and iFi Ear Buddy (or if you are skilled with electronics, you can easily build such voltage divider adapter yourself https://diyaudioheaven.wordpress.com/headphones/headphone-attenuation-adapter/). Adapter not only allows you to use much wider range of volume, but also practically eliminates all background hissing noise. The only drawback is that it removes cable mic support.

Is there another way to set the FIR equalizer bands other than 'swiping', numerical input perhaps?
I have a bit of a hard time setting the frequency response exactly the way I want

Hi all, I need a little help,

I have many issues trying to install and use JamesDSP or Viper, I think there must be some incompatibility with my device/lineageOs a redmi 6 cereus with lineageOs 17.1 latest magisk 23

The stranger bug is that after installing viper driver and reboot, the flashlight get disabled (and any app using the camera also crash), other bad problems are that with the JamesDSP (no huawei version) and some viper versions that helped to fix problems to other users after first install, lineageOs crash after reboot.

JamesDSP with the Huawei version just keep crashing and closing.

The latest viper is always in abnormal state and always disabled the flashlight, I followed all combination of steps, installing rebooting then driver, installing no rebooting then driver and one two reboots after switched main gain, legacy mode and edited the .sh file about chmods and temp files.

How can I debug what is going on my phone with these sounds apps?

Everything seems ok with my Os and phone, all the rest of play store or Os equalizers work ok

 

[nofishonfriday]

@Granabo
Are you installing JamesDSP/Viper from the Magisk app (Magisk module) or some other way?
Probably isn't much help, sorry, but I can say that I have a kind of similar setup as yours (latest LineageOS for MicroG 18.1, Magisk 23 latest, though on a Galaxy S5), and for me both JamesDSP/Viper work fine installed as Magisk modules (I've also installed Audio Compatibility Patch and Audio Modification library, because I've seen that in a YT video when someone installed Viper).

 

[Granabo]

@nofishonfriday

Yes, also tried installing from TWRP but JamesDSP zip work only as an uninstaller from TWRP that was great to fix my OS without uninstalling Magisk entirely, Viper can be installed uninstalled from TWRP but same bugs whatsoever.

I also installed Audio compatibility patch without any effect.

Also another bug was that with viper installed, some videos played on browser didn't start or others were working with glitches on media players, this was correlated to the flashlight being disabled.
