Please go easy on me, I'm not very tech savvy. So I got a new android phone, and everything is ok except the audio. This is using the same headphones I used with my old phone, so I'm not talking about improving the phone's speakers or headphones, but the quality of the sound as it is processed in the phone itself.

There is an equalizer (Dolby Atmos) but after trying every preset and option available I give up. They all sound tinny or kind of muffled. My old phone had just a basic "Moto Audio" and it was great. Both phones are Motorola and I'm disappointed to see this downgrade.

So the question is, can I install something to fix this and if yes, what type of app am I looking for?

Thanks

Hey! Thanks for the answer. I've downloaded Wavelet and I barely noticed a difference. I've been digging around and apparently there is a setting I have no control over, DUMP:

I've searched how to disable/enable this feature on Android and for anything above 7 I need to enter a command line somewhere. No idea where or how. This is beyond my skillset.

My headphones profile (Jabra elite 8) is also not listed in the options and so far I couldn't find a profile that makes things sound better. But at least you gave me a starting point. Cheers

On my Edge+ 2023, there is a tile in the pulldown menu for Dolby. It may be hidden; go to "rearrange tiles" to add or remove it"

rearrange tiles"

The AutoEQ project is actively updated with a repo on GitHub. You may be able to download the "GraphicEQ" file from this page Search that page for "Jabra Elite"

The DUMP setting can usually be enabled via ADB (simple connection to a PC). Instructions here if you search for "Enhanced session detection" on Wavelet's site

You can use WebADB without installing anything on your PC.

I found the Jabra profile, thanks for that, but I'm unable to connect my phone to the adbshell. I insert the USB cable just fine, but the shell won't see anything.

From my laptop I am able to see my phone connected though, as if it were any other external SSD. But on my phone, when I insert the USB I get three options: Smart Connect, File transfer and Video transfer. Smart Connect needs me to download an app from Microsoft store on my PC and I'm skeptical about it.

I also have USB options when I insert the USB, but none make any difference and the one to control the USB from my PC doesn't work.

Have you enabled Developer Options=> USB Debugging?

You can turn it off again after. Instructions here: https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options
