In this guide, we will show you the steps to bring back the Adaptive Sound on your Pixel device. This feature is used to improve the sound quality by using the microphone to determine the acoustics nearby and then adjusting the sound equalizer settings corresponding to your environment. This is one of those rare audio tweaks that actually work [though it will be less noticeable at higher volumes].
Moreover, according to Google, the microphone audio is processed locally and never leaves your device. Moreover, the background conversations are never sent to them as well. All in all, it seems liked one of the most useful built-in audio functionalities for the masses [not talking about the likes of Viper4Android or JamesDSP as they require rooted devices].
But the Silicon Valley giant is known to kill every good feature sooner than later, and this one also faced the axe for reasons best known to Google. However, you can still bring back the Adaptive Sound on your Pixel device using a nifty workaround. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. So without further ado, let’s get started.
