[Q] CM 12.1 Equalizer - Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have Viper installed and also dissbled the AudioFX from CM 12.1
However it appears Kodi upon boot triggers equalizer for both viper if turned on and AudioFX.
When I quit Kodi Equalizer is not active,in Lolipop on my note4 I had to disable samsungs own EQU and then I could use my own.
I assume it would be the same but what would be default EQ? would it be the AudioFX even if it's off?
EDIT: AudioFX is off and again upon quitting Kodi EQU goes off (I use Tune In Radio Pro) to stream some radio stations.

try another music player from playstore n turn off its equalizer or fx so it can use your dsp music fx ..... ex. best music player.apk
By mistake i uninstalled music fx in grand 2..how to get my music fx again?
if you are on stock or custom rom in both cases you have to reinstall the firmware or rom again. however, you can try copying the apk again to /system/app folder, but i guess it will not work.

SM-T230NU Bluetooth audio

My wife has a SM-T230NU that I have tried a few of the available modified stock roms with. My issue is, currently running stockrom series on it, and am unable to get viper4android or any other dsp manager-like app to affect the bluetooth output whatsoever. Not a big issue just curious if device does not support this. I was unable to find any info about this in searches here or elsewhere. Thank you in advance.
I use Google Play Music to play mp3's, but have tried a couple other Audio players in an attempt to solve this, as I tried enabling Google Play Music's own equalizer while using bluetooth audio and it said something to the effect of "Disabled while casting."
If you successfully installed the Viper4android drivers, then you haveto select V4A as your default Equalizer.
Goto Settings --> Device -->Sound --> Music Effect and set V4A. Then reboot your device.

Thankyou for your quick reply. Yes, in settings/sound/music effects, viper4android is selected as default music equalizer. It is working for internal speaker, and wired headphones, just not bluetooth. Thanks again.

Accidentally Disabled Stock Music Equalizer

Hello,
I own a Nexus 6P, running Android 7.1.1. No root or anything like that. My problem is simple: I installed a custom audio equalizer, it asked me to disable my default equalizer (the one that you can access through Play Music), and I confirmed. How can I re-enable this stock equalizer?
Thank you so much!

Dolby atmos not working

I'm unable to activate atmos. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I'm rooted with an unlocked bootloader and xposed. It's happened on b27 and b29. Shortly after upgrading to b29 and installing xposed and everything it worked but eventually (and I don't know what I did differently) I'm unable to activate it. It stays grayed out in the quick settings and in the app it does nothing when pressing the power button.

If you have a separate music program such as Rocket player .. Have you enabled the EQ.. if so you need to disable the EQ in your music program .. then it should be able to be activated again. I find that when I want to listen through my speakers and want the Dolby to work .. the player has to have its EQ off .. but I found when listening to headphones its better with the players EQ than using the Dobly.. so I will activate the players EQ and dolby will shut off and not be able to be activated.

Interesting idea but this happens right from boot and in YouTube which doesn't have an eq.

If any other app uses an EQ and it is enabled in that app .. Dolby will not function even if you aren't using that app at the time. This is what I meant. Just check your music app .. and disable the EQ and dolby should be able to be activated again. It doesn't matter if you are running youtube or whatever but as long as an EQ is enabled in another app running or not.. the dolby app will not work.
I guess I wasn't really clear about that .. yes .. if my Rocket player app has the EQ enabled but the app isn't running .. and I reboot .. I will not be able to activate dolby after it reboots.. it will be grayed out and if I launch the Dolby app and press the power button nothing happens ... until I open the Rocket Player app and disable the EQ. Then Dolby will be able to be activated again.
So at least as a test .. make sure that any app that has an EQ available .. that the EQ is disabled in that app... doesn't matter if you are using the app at the moment or if its just installed and the EQ is enabled. You have to disable the EQ on any app installed on the system. Once all EQs are disable whether running or not... then Dolby EQ will be able to be enabled.

Well thanks for the advice but I tried to find every app I have with an eq and it's still grayed out. Maybe it's confused by an app that doesn't have an eq.

Darn I thought that for sure was it ... it sounds exactly like what happens when I have the EQ enabled in my music app whether its running or not and its happened with several different music apps I tried ... it basically reacts the same way as what you explained .... Sorry then, yeah maybe something else has a built in EQ without any "user interface" for disabling it and that app is causing your issues ... but it definitely sounds like some app is trying to manipulate the sound and causing interference with the Dolby app by the way you described it reacting.
Unfortunately at this point in time .. my only suggestion would be a full reset ... your Dolby should be working again ... then install your apps one at a time and keep checking the dolby after installing and running each new app at least once to try to figure out which app is causing the issue . ..
Since you are on XDA .. not sure if you have twrp .. if so . back up your system the way it is now .. do the reset ..then if you find what app is causing it .. just reload your backup and remove the offending app
John was right actually, all u need to do is deactivate equalizer in music app and restart, worked for me there. Well mine is mini version so I'm not sure if that makes any difference.

Equalizers don't work and Audio Effects only works in Google Play

As the title says, I have downloaded several equalizers and none of them will work in any audio app I have tried (google play, slacker radio, etc.). When I tried to use the built-in audio effects app, it only works on Google Play and not Slacker Radio.
Are there any solutions to this issue? Does a custom ROM fix these issues?
Thanks.
Yes it is the issue. I have poweramp and it has its own equalizer which works only in poweramp. And if I change the effects in default equalizer, it won't affect poweramp settings.

Is this a device issue, ROM issue, an app issue or a Marshmallow issue?
No idea. Probably device issue.
I think BlackPlayer might have an option of letting you pick the EQ, at least when I used it consistently it asked if I wanted to use the system or app's EQ.

Will this allow the use of an equalizer within other audio apps like Slacker, Amazon Music, Pandora, etc.? If the EQ only works within that app it doesnt solve the problem. Thanks.
