native equalizer not working

[Tomasclaro]

hi, 

i read about a native equalizer of the xperia x compact. 

first of all > it doesn work for me. I use mainstream audio app like soundcloud in example, but when i change presets nothing happens. Do i miss anything in the settings? is this a bug? moreover no one of the other audio settings provided in the same sections is working form me (like dynamix normalizer or dsee hx..)

second one > it's quite annoying to reach the eq through the standard path: 

general setting > audio and notifications> quality/audio settings > sound effects > equalizer

is there any shortcut avalible ???

thanks !

Contact soundcloud and request they use system sound scheme for their audio enhancements.

??

is this a problem of the apps not supporting the standards??

is there any app you tried that works with the EQ of xperia? let me know, thanks.

Hi @Tomasclaro!

The native sound enhancing features such as the equalizer are available for third party apps, but the third party apps have to choose to utilize it. If the equalizer is not supported by default, then you may try getting in touch with the app developers to see if it is something that they can add as @Viridis suggested.

I have not tried too many third party apps to see their compatibility with the EQ, but I mainly use Spotify for my music and it supports the feature. 

I hope that answers your question, if not feel free to let me know!

[Tomasclaro]

ok, thanks. so it depends by the support of third party apps.

and, you know if there is a shortcut to reach the eq directly from the main screen of the phone? something like a widget?? 

[Emir1]

I am so sorry I missed that part of the question!

Well, to my knowledge there is no shortcut straight to the setting, but you may add a Sound & Notifications shortcut icon to your homescreen by pressing and holding down on an empty space on the homescreen > Widgets > Shortcuts > Settings > Sound & notifications.

I will make sure to forward your feedback internally regarding the accessibility of the feature!

[Lord_viridis]

You can get an app that will shortcut system settings to your home screen. I'll find it.

[Lord_viridis]

Found it.
It's called "quick shortcut maker"

The item you want to select is "Music FX"

I've tested and will open directly into audio enhancements 

[Tomasclaro]
