Hey Folks

I'm wondering if anyone knows which audio chipsets are on the v30 and G7? I have both, and these phones sound very different. They were released pretty close to each other, so I was assuming they'd be the same chipset, but it doesn't sound like that'd be the case.. Wondering if anyone knows?

If the sound differences are down to how the software manages the chipsets, I'll look at hacking the g7 firmware in some way... Anyone have experience doing this? Or is it on the hardware side the tuning is done?

Thanks for reading!

I believe they're the same chipset but this might help--

Thanks! I did see this, but I'll have a go. One difference between my G7 and V30 is the V30 is running Android 9 (I think.. or 8) and the G7 Android 10. Could make a difference I suppose.

Sure thing. The OS version, I'm not sure if it matters, but maybe. Another thing you might try... you could exclude whatever music app you're using plus the system audio stuff from power saving. TBH, this might be a better question on XDA.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've actually posted this on XDA too. Different priorities over there though... I have more hopes over here.

Ha! I hope you find your answers somewhere. On older phones, I remember some one-click-roots enabling high-res audio. Not sure how that might affect the LGs since they already have quad dacs and the system should be optimized for them. But maybe check out some old custom roms and see if anyone talks about the audio.
