You can use Viper4Android to that. It's a magisk module. You can learn about it here :good:

Is it working? Do you hear an increase in volume when your playing music or watching YouTube?
It should look like this if it's working properly.

These are the magisk modules your looking for in the magisk manager app. Disregard the Dolby app. I'm assuming your rooted correct?

The mixer path file is located in system/vendor/etc/mixer_paths_tavil_taimen.xml

Edit, not sure if that's the exact file you were asking for. Hopefully it helps you get what your looking to do if you can't get viper to do it.

Hey, Badger! Where'd you get that Dolby MM? Did it shown up for ya after you flashed the Dolby-Oreo.zip or is it different? I ask cause I used that zip and it installed to system for me so of I could go systemless, it'd be awesome. :)

It's just the dolby-oreo.zip that's been around a while. Just flashed it in twrp and it works fine. However, it's not systemless.

If it shows up in the magisk manager modules section, just uninstall it from there. Reboot, then install it again.

By chance...have you tried moving the apk from system-priv app to data apps with a root browser? Maybe that'll work? :confused:

The thought crossed my mind, but never tried since it's not hurting anything. I always update with a full system image without wipe anyway. I was just curious mostly.

Did you leave yours in system or did you move it to data?

I've just left it alone. But now, I'm thinking I might try it just for S & G's! ??

Is it the same version I showed you in the screen shot?? What happens when you go to the download section in magisk manager, does it show an upgrade for that module??
