Ported from the Nothing Phone 1, the Dirac Audio module brings advanced room correction and speaker optimization algorithms to any rooted device. It operates at the system level, modifying how audio is rendered based on your device's acoustic characteristics.

— The installer will present several options. The correct selections depend on your setup:

The Android modding community has spoken. On XDA-Developers, Reddit’s r/Magisk, and Telegram groups, the Audio Compatibility Patch is routinely ranked as the essential module (alongside SafetyNet Fix and Systemless Hosts).

It is crucial to recognize what ACP is not . It is not a sound enhancer, equalizer, or upscaler. It does not magically improve Bluetooth codec quality or add Dolby Atmos. Its domain is strictly connectivity and routing —ensuring that the audio signal actually reaches its intended destination. Users expecting audiophile-grade enhancements will be disappointed. Moreover, because ACP forces generic policies, it can occasionally break exotic, vendor-specific audio features (like Samsung’s Adapt Sound or LG’s Hi-Fi Quad DAC control). The module walks a tightrope between compatibility and specificity, and sometimes it falls.

If your phone boots but has no sound at all, the patching process likely corrupted an incompatible, highly customized vendor file.
