military vehicles Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 like the title says, why must Poweramp (just the equalizer) attach itself to media players and or apps? why attach specifically? why couldn't it just act like a global equalizer and process it without all the extra steps. oh and developer, fix your app already please me and many others are begging you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Because you are equalising the audio output of a particular media playing app, not of the whole system (phone calls, notification tones, etc). Not all apps allow equalisation either, hence the extra steps to override that complication. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
military vehicles Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 @andrewilley So then why do other apps like flat eq by beat blend labs and many others not have this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took a stroll through critical reviews of that app on google play store, and let me get this straight, your benchmark for a good eq app is one that wants you to pay weekly subscription charges?

military vehicles Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 no... that's not at all what I said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Also, that app only supports 10-band Graphic mode, whereas PA-EQ allows up to 32-band Graphic, or full Parametric mode. But for technical programmatical explanations, you'd need to ask the developer @maxmp . Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
military vehicles Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 @Fitzian I said equalizer, not the payment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
military vehicles Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 @andrewilley I ment in terms of just equalization alone, as flat eq doesn't need all the extra permissions and such albeit not as good quality sure but my main point being it covers all apps why can't PA-EQ do the same instead of only doing spotify.

andrewilley Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 @military vehicles By default, the PA-EQ app will only offer to process apps that have explicitly given permission for their output to be modified by external processes. It's a trivial bit of code to add to a player (just a couple of lines in fact) but one that many audio applications don't bother to implement. Spotify is one that does. Poweramp Music Player also does (if you enable the 'MusicFX' option). The audio output path from other apps can be forcibly overridden, but the Android-level permission needed in order to allow that cannot be granted from within the same device. As you are aware, you need to apply that special permission via a one-off ADB command, which is documented in more detail in: Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
