Please read the FAQ's 1st Question from Third Post or from here(both are same), and you will get your answer why the option is off whenever you come back to the Audio Settings.

Hello, i have a OnePlus 5t on the currwnt stock rom, rooted with magisk and newest TWRP recovery.
I installed the MOD via TWRP but I cant see any App in the Appdrawer, but the Magisk Module is 'activated' (it says so in the Magisk app) btw yes I have cleared cache and dalvik.

What should I do now? ??
Install PowerAmp

I agree that the title of this thread is not justified.
Claiming it works for ALL devices and ROMS is pretty brave since there are so damn many lol.

So many negative reports sadly aswell...

I tested myself on my Xperia XZ F8331 with Magisk edition and Sony Edition.

Magisk edition: made my Sony music app run wild and made playing music impossible.

Sony Edition: Sorry to say but I just don't hear any difference.

Sent from my Sony Xperia XZ using XDA Labs
1/ Magisk Edition is not supposed to be used for Sony Stock ROMs
2/ Sony Edition: you may expect no changes as the sound system between Xz And XZ2 is quite similar

As @LilBlinx say, on Oreo (I'm on RR Official 22 Jun build). Equalizer etc not working.
I've tried a lot of Sony Music Port and deleted vendor/etc/audio_effects.xml. But still no effect.
Just this ones: https://xdaforums.com/android/software/soundmod-sonymusicwithsseviperaudio-t3536196 by @repey6 work perfectly on Oreo (include Oreo Treble) but, no DSEE-HX.
I hope @sirdoha can solve this problem with Oreo device ASAP. :D

P.S
My device: Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon (mido)
I am afraid that atm, some OREO devices with integrated Music FX could encounter these problems. As soon as I'm free from busy work recently, a solution should be worked on.

Please read the FAQ's 1st Question from Third Post or from here(both are same), and you will get your answer why the option is off whenever you come back to the Audio Settings.
Thanks for helping me explaining. Many guys just can't spend some seconds to glance at the FAQ before asking (don't mean to offend though)

Le max 2 pixel exp. Magisk version isn't working (no improvement in sound quality plus equalizer makes no difference).

10. Why the audio effect only apply to Sony Apps?
-> This is due to Sony restriction. You, however, can use this awesome guide from my mate @PDesire to remove this restriction: Link to the thread
Couldn't u implement that in the next update of ur mod, please?

11. I have FC issue with the WalkMan App?
-> Please try PowerAmp app instead.
That isn't a Sony app... Does it work on Poweramp, if yes, why?

1/ I will consider that
2/ It just works. The original Sony System supports 3rd party apps also like Spotify and Power Amp

I installed the same version, using the Universal Magisk 1.4. Im not sure why it isnt working right now.
I expect that is the issue on your side. You may have made some changes (ex install new soundmod) that conflict with my sound system.

haven't installed this yet for various reasons unrelated to the mod, but i'm looking forward to trying it out when i can. however, i'm still a little confused about the restriction part:
do all the features only work in Sony's music app (and an undisclosed list of other apps) or is it just DSEE-HX? i'm wondering since the workaround guide linked in the FAQ specifically mentions that one.
also, what about the PowerAmp recommendation for those having issues with the Sony app? i'm using PowerAmp as my audio player of choice anyway, so would i be fine with everything or do i still have to install the Sony player to get it working?

thanks for any insight you knowledgeable people can provide

Don't forget "all android version" but on my 4.4.4 this zip simply kill my phone... This phone has no recovery, impossible to put one due to lack of source code and I can't even flash this without some sort of special apps/manual copy

    [Important] 0. I installed the MOD but when playing music, there is no effects/differences/changes?
    -> After rebooting, playing a song in Walkman, lock your phone, wait for 5 seconds then turn the screen on again, all Sony Sound Effects features will be activated and work flawlessly.
    Remember to repeat this step every reboots.

    1. I've already turned DSEE-HX on but why whenever I come back to the setting page, it is left off?
    -> As I've mentioned in the 1st post, DSEE-HX DOES WORK when you turn it "ON". Just left it after turning "ON".
    -> To toggle OFF the DSEE-HX you have to switch the slider to "ON" again, then turn "OFF" because the slider always display as "OFF".
    -> Further explanation: The Sony DRM cause the issue with the graphic file of the DSEE-HX's slider. It, however, does not affect the audio quality or function of this MOD.

    2. Why this MOD have different editions?
    -> Actually the [Universal] edition supports all devices except Sony Stock ROMs. The [SONY] edition is then created to fix this hole, specifically made for Xperia devices running the Stock or Stock-based ROMs. The [Magisk] edition adds support for Magisk Systemless Module to reduce over-modding your original system.

    3. Does this MOD provide the same audio processing quality of Sony Xperia XZ2?
    -> Short Answer: YES!
    -> Further Explanation: This MOD is the most comprehensive port of all Sony Xperia XZ2's EXCLUSIVE Sound Processing, Libs and Effects, including all Sony best Audio Technologies: DSEE-HX, ClearAudio+, S-Force, XLOUD, Clear Phase, Clear Stereo, Headphone Automatic Optimization, LDAC. Just flash the MOD and you will immediately notice the superior audio quality brought to you by Sony.

    4. Why other MODs in XDA does not offer DSEE-HX? Does DSEE-HX really work on this MOD?
    -> After adding some tweaks and patches for partially simulating the DRM, we recognize that despite the slider doesn't work properly, the DSEE-HX audio codec DOES work flawlessly. This is due to the lack of Sony DRM causing the issue with the graphic file of the DSEE-HX's slider. However, this does not affect the audio quality or function of DSEE-HX so we decided to include this EXCLUSIVE port of DSEE-HX on this MOD.

    5. How to donate?
    -> I made this tweak JUST FOR FUN with the desires of contributing something valuable for the XDA community.
    -> I didn't intend to receive donations. If you wish, you can donate me the XDA Ad-Free though. lol

    6. How to delete AudioFX?
    -> Get ROOT permission, open your desired File Explorer and delete the System/priv-app/MusicFX (Remember to Back it Up)

    7. Does this MOD compatible with other Sound MODs?
    -> This MOD is not intended to be compatible with other Sound Mods. It is recommended to uninstall other Sound MODs before installing this to avoid conflicts.
    -> Update: Some of our testers reported this MOD works with Sound MODs made for the Sony Xperia XZ, XZ2 and Z5's stock ROMs so you can try (remember to Back-Up before taking any risk please)


    8. How to uninstall this MOD?
    [For Sony and Universal Edition] -> Just Dirty Flash your existing ROM (reflash your ROM via Recovery - You don't have to delete your personal data and apps)
    [For Magisk and Treble Edition] -> Simply toggle off the module in the Magisk Manager App then reboot. Voila!

    9. Hey @sirdoha, my device is XXX running XXX ROM with Android X.XX. Can I install your MOD?
    -> My MOD support ALL Android devices in the world! Just remember to back up in case something goes wrong and choose the right [Edition] for your device. Clearly read the 1st, 2nd and 3rd post for more info before taking any risk!

    10. Why the audio effect only apply to Sony Apps?
    -> This is due to Sony restriction. You, however, can use this awesome guide from my mate @PDesire to remove this restriction: Link to the thread

    11. I have FC issue with the WalkMan App?
    -> Please try PowerAmp app instead.

    12. I don't see Audio Setting, please try ONE of these workaround:
    - Plug your earphone
    - Uninstalling and Installing the module several times in Magisk (for [Magisk] user)
    - Reflash the ZIP file (for [Universal] and [Sony] user)
    - Reinstall Sony Music (Walkman) App
    - If none of these works, install Poweramp App.

    As I posted in some previous sony sound enhancement mod, I will post it here. I've been trying to fix the bug that has bothering for several months now, but no luck. The problem is that audio_effects.conf in system/vendor/etc is converted to XML file format in newer ROMs for many devices including official LineageOS builds and AOSP based ROMs. That has been achieved with conf2xml converter by Luk1337. That's why many users that are on those kinds of ROMs have no effect even with SeLinux set to permissive and deleted MusicFX, because the conf file in this mod isn't being used. I've converted the same conf file form this mod to XML and replacing it on top of the conf file but the device just stucks in bootloop. The only thing that I think it would work is to revert the conversion. The commit should look like this, it's different for your device, check your device tree. I haven't this solution, yet, but I will update once I build it.
