MusicFX
Safe to disable: com.android.musicfx Safe to disable Vendor documentation
Android's basic sound equalizer that music apps can open for bass boost and preset sound effects. It is safe to disable: you lose nothing most people will miss.
What it does
MusicFX is the open source audio effects panel with an equalizer, bass boost, virtualizer and presets. Music and video apps that offer an equalizer button can open it to adjust their audio, and phone makers often replace it with their own sound settings. It runs only while effects are applied to an app's audio.
If you disable it
Equalizer buttons in music apps that use it stop opening; audio plays normally without effects.
How to disable it
