How to fix poor sound quality of A5C8 ?

[KungFuJoe]

This might just be the speaker(s) themselves.  I mean, this is a pretty cheap tablet so I’m sure corners had to be cut somewhere.  It’s decent enough with headphones, but yeah, the speakers themselves are pretty pathetic.

On further inspection, it seems even the headphone jack plays at a lower volume.  Compared it to a few other devices and at the highest setting, it’s loud enough to hear…but definitely not that loud.  Funny, though…Windows still gives me the warning about hearing loss when I bump up the volume to max.

Hi @all,

the sound quality of our pad is in my eyes/ears very poor, missing bass and power makes listening of music a real disappointing experience. I tried a lot of equalizers, now, but none seems to really change anything, it looks like they are not able to configure the Intel HD chipset. Does anybody has a hint to solve this issue ?

Thx

Use “Viper4Android” and you will be happy
Don’t forget to use some “irs”…

How did you manage to get v4a installed?  I’ve had no luck.  When I try to install the apk I just get a parser error. Tried to set selinux mode to Permissive by using selinuxmodechanger and ended up breaking Android and had to reload the rom.

I am using mirek’s 5.1 v3 though.

Probably the reason why mirek rom should not be trusted…

Hi Gerd,

many thx for your answer.
I am on Mirek’s rom, too and I am not able to get the viper driver installed because of issues with the Busybox version….
I will give the Remix OS a try today.

Thx

What means “Don’t forget to use some “irs”…”. Can You please explain how you get v4a work.

Viper4Android installation worked for me when using these instructions:

1. https://docs.google.com/document/d/15e7xv8AADnl0Ckqg8NiuQMTPLSgkIZCS4hU4Q07H7i4/edit
2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66262822&postcount=16

Didn’t use the irs, though.

I tried using selinuxmodechanger to set to permissive and it completely hosed my OS. I had to rebuild from scratch.

Thanks!  This worked.  Using mirek’s v3 ROM.  Had to install Busy Box using TWRP method.  Then used the apk in the first link (I had a different apk that wasn’t installing) and it installed fine.

Can’t really tell the difference using the stock speakers, but that’s probably just a limitation of speakers themselves.  Going to try some nice headphones I have next chance I get.

Ok got this working in Android and there is a definite difference…at least in terms of max vol. Can’t really tell much about the sound quality but I can’t complain.

Anyone get Viper4Windows working on Win10?  I installed and configured it. No errors but nothing has changed as far as I could tell.
