JamesDSP Audio Manager [MMT-EX]

[alf_and_co]

Does anyone use the rootless Jamesdsp version? I have successfully installed but get a terrible reverb when I play music. Unfortunately I cannot root the phone I want to use it on so it's rootless or bust..

i have same issue

After last December Update on Pixel 6 JamesDSP stopped working for Bluetooth Devices. Works only on speaker. Reinstall and all the usual restarts dont help. F*ck you Google. Why dont they simply create proper Audio APIs so Equilizer Apps can work as intended. Is music on smartphones not big enough?

Anyone have a good guide for using JamesDSP? I installed the presets shared by schmeggy but it leaves a crackling sound in my headphones. I'd really like to learn how to use JamesDSP or at least learn more about the features available in it but I haven't been able to find much.

Is anyone using this on a Pixel 7 Pro and has it working? I was on the November update and, out of nowhere, this app just FC every time I would boot up my phone. I updated to the December feature drop release and same thing. I ended up uninstalling the Magisk module and the app for the time being.

Is JamesDSP still being maintained though?

JamesDSP working fine on the Pixel 7 Pro for me. Works on the December QPR1 stable build as well as yesterday's release of QPR2 Beta 1. The only time it should crash on boot is if you are not rooted. I'm also assuming you said "Yes" when it asked if you have a Huawei device when installing.

Yea Im on Pixel 6 and for me the December update broke JamesDSP too. Last Update was in August 2022. We'll see if thats only a pixel problem.

I'm rooted and I did say "Yes" about the Huawei device. I just tried reinstalling the zip file and it works again! Weird as I haven't done anything before to make it stop working...

I have the pixel 6 pro and from what it seems the force closing ties into Bluetooth processing. The app will force close when connected to a Bluetooth device, but not processing through the phones speaker.

Not really, but the rootless version is.

Pixel 7 Pro on QPR2 Beta 1. JamesDSP working fine on both speakers and bluetooth. No crashes. Also have ACP (to get rid of audio ducking) and AML installed.

You can try my profiles. Attached is the JamesDSP.zip. If you don't have any profiles or settings yet, extract JamesDSP to your sdcard on phone. In the folders are convolvers and DDC files and presets I use.

how do I use this?? I downloaded and extracted. How do I apply them?

 

[Loustsoul]

Thank you.

Pixel 7 Pro here, JamesDSP is working great after a few hours of fine tuning all the settings. Just seems anything over 0.0dB Post gain does nothing. 0.0dB sounds no different than 15.0dB.

So did you ever determine if this is actually making your phone louder? That's I used v4a for louder volume more than anything. Yes, tuning for clarity was right up there too, but I want the louder volume. Did you determine if jamesdsp makes the phone and Bluetooth devices

Increasing Post gain definitely increases volume for me (Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 7 Pro). You can also use a convolver that increases the volume as part of its function as well.

Yes it does increase the volume. Along with a convolver and DDC file, it pretty much does a good job in loudness, clarity, and bass.

You can check out the different with JamesDSP on and off HERE.

Flashed in magisk and this is working on my pixel 7 pro tested on the phone speakers and a Bluetooth speaker. The volume increase is awesome. What are recommended convolvers with a safe download location or recommended tweaks for more clear audio? I listen to a lot of podcasts and talk shows more than music. Bass boost and music tuning aren't important to me. I want volume increase and clarity. I have the former now and need the latter. I'm no audio tuning expert so some of the terminology in the app and throughout this thread isn't in my wheelhouse.

 

[Schroeder09]

Anyone have a reputable location to download convolvers and instructions on what file folder to put them in on the phone running James DSP?

It's been a long time since I've posted on here...

I have a Pixel 6 on build TQ1A.221205.011, and I get crashes on Bluetooth as well. I've noticed that it still works with SBC and AAC codecs, but not any others.

I've taken a logcat and it seems that Google has made some changes to Bluetooth media streaming:

checkEffectCompatibility_l: global effect JamesDSP v3.05 not supported on spatializer thread AudioOut_CD

set(): AudioFlinger could not create effect f98765f4-c321-5de6-9a45-123459495ab2 / f27317f4-c984-4de6-9a90-545759495bf2, status: -22

AudioEffect initCheck failed -3

The full logcat is attached. Hope it can be of use!

I am picking up a pixel 7 pro tomorrow and want to install a good audio mod.

Currently I use Viper4android but that's kind of deprecated now so I was looking for alternatives when I came across Jamesdsp, but it looks like it is also out of development as well having no updates in the last 2 years.

Is there a particular reason why the good audio managers all seem to stop being supported and there aren't that many around?
