Equalizer doesn't work

There have been various reports that on some devices the EQ simply doesn't work. If you are having this particular issue please include your device name and the Android version it is running. Let us know if previously the EQ worked or not. This will help us know which devices are affected.

Issue
EQ doesn't work. The EQ settings is shown empty with an error message. This EQ bug happens to only a few devices running an specific Android version. We have tried just about everything to resolve this issue but had no luck. After some research everything points to a bug with Android OS.

Solution
With your help we are going to continue to investigate and see if we can resolve the issue with a legit or hacky fix. Our best bet for fixing this issue will be creating our own EQ from scratch. The good news is that we do have plans to create our own EQ and that should resolve the EQ bugs once and for all.
