Google might enable this in the future via a software update. If you’re impatient, you can enable Pixel 5’s Adaptive Sound on your Pixel device right now. There are two ways currently to achieve this, and one of them requires your device to be rooted. But here’s how you can get Pixel 5’s Adaptive Sound on older Pixel devices, without root. Content

Step 1: Install Pixel 5 Device Personalization Services

The way Google brings the Adaptive Sound feature to Pixel 5 is via the Device Personalization Services app. It’s a system app that you won’t really see in your app drawer. It is, however, present on all Pixel devices. So the first thing you need to do is install the Pixel 5 specific Device Personalization Services APK.

Step 2: Enable USB Debugging on Your Pixel Phone

Once you’ve installed the required Pixel 5 specific version of Device Personalization Services, you’ll need to become a developer. But not really.

Step 3: Get Pixel 5 Adaptive Sound on Older Pixel Devices

With USB debugging turned on, it’s time to bring Pixel 5’s Adaptive Sound to your Pixel phone. Even though you’re not technically a developer yet, you will have to do a few developer-ish things. For that, you’ll need a working ADB environment on your PC. Luckily for you, we have a detailed guide to Install ADB and Fastboot on Windows, Mac & Linux. You can simply copy and paste the commands above in the Terminal or command prompt, and hit enter.

Step 4: Enable Adaptive Sound on Pixel Phone

Once you’ve executed all the three commands above, you can unplug your phone. Adaptive Sound is now available on your Pixel device. However, it is turned off by default. You can also find a description of what this feature actually is on the same page. Adaptive Sound uses your phone’s microphones to optimize the equalizer settings and produce optimal sound. If you’re concerned about privacy, the recorded audio is never sent to Google. Moreover, all the processing happens on your phone and the audio is deleted afterward. Another thing to keep in mind is that this is not a permanent solution. That means every time you reboot your device, you will lose Adaptive Sound on the Pixel phone. You will have to enable it again.
