Hi-Res Audio For Android


Enable high resolution audio for MediaTek devices up to 32-bit/192kHz (if device supports). This module only changes the configuration on “audio_policy” because most Android devices limit their capabilities to 16-bit/48kHz only, the rest depends on whether the device used supports Hi-Res Audio™ or not.

*applies to internal Speakers & Wired (not for Bluetooth/USB devices).

Foobar2000 ~ The First Steps


For most users the latest version of Foobar2000 32-bit is adequate. Users with very large music libraries may need to install the 64-bit version. The latest Foobar2000 installers are available on the official downloads page: www.foobar2000.org/download

After downloading, installing Foobar2000 and starting Foobar2000, you will see the main Default User Interface, commonly referred to as the DUI.

The first step is to populate Foobar2000’s Media Library.

Select Preferences > Media Library > Add...

and navigate to your Music folder. Once Foobar2000 has scanned all the subfolders and files, it will continue to monitor for any additions, deletions or revisions

The next step is to set the ReplayGain values. See ReplayGain ~ Advanced Volume Normalization

Select the Playback submenu:

  1. Change Source mode to ‘by payback order
  2. Change Processing to ‘apply gain and prevent clipping according to peak
  3. Adjust the ‘Without RG info‘ slider to -8.0 dB

The last initial step is to set your own individual freedb address.

At this point you should see your music and it should play without issue.

This covers the very basics. The next steps will be to add additional components, more configuration and how to use Foobar2000 to accomplish day to day tasks.
