Xnext™ WalkMan
This modification is made to give the best possible audio experience on Sony Xperia Devices.
Unique features
- ALSA custom sound control, crosscompiled with Qualcomm Compiler
- updated opus, vorbis and flac codecs
- stripped audio effects, for reduced audio processing (and better sound performance)
- 32bit / 96.0khz (Xperia 1iii / 1ii / 1 / 5 iii / 5 ii / 5)
- 24bit / 96.0khz (all other devices)
- everything is logged, you can check what this modification is doing ( /system/usr/share/alsa/debug )
- execute with a terminal as root:
- check ( audioflinger dump )
- test.sh ( place a wave audio file on your internal storage, name it test.wav, then execute the script, this will play your file direct via aplay )
- you can also use aplay, arecord, alsactl, amixer alsaucm directly, if you are familiar with it ( if you mess something up - its your own fault, but you can ask for help anyway )
- execute with a terminal as root:
- custom Dolby Atmos configuration
- audio output power is greatly improved, so be careful with the volume
