Bass boost is an audio effect to boost or amplify low frequencies of the sound. It is comparable to a simple equalizer but limited to one band amplification in the low frequency range.
An application creates a BassBoost object to instantiate and control a bass boost engine in the audio framework.
The methods, parameter types and units exposed by the BassBoost implementation are directly mapping those defined by the OpenSL ES 1.0.1 Specification (http://www.khronos.org/opensles/) for the SLBassBoostItf interface. Please refer to this specification for more details.
To attach the BassBoost to a particular AudioTrack or MediaPlayer, specify the audio session ID of this AudioTrack or MediaPlayer when constructing the BassBoost.
NOTE: attaching a BassBoost to the global audio output mix by use of session 0 is deprecated.
See[android.media.MediaPlayer#getAudioSessionId()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/media/MediaPlayer.html#getAudioSessionId())for details on audio sessions.
See[android.media.audiofx.AudioEffect](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/media/audiofx/AudioEffect)class for more details on controlling audio effects.

Intent to signal to the effect control application or service that an audio session is closed and that effects should not be applied anymore. The effect control application receiving this intent will delete all effects on this session and store current settings in package specific storage. The calling package name is indicated by the[EXTRA_PACKAGE_NAME](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/media/audiofx/AudioEffect#EXTRA_PACKAGE_NAME:kotlin.String)extra and the audio session ID by the[EXTRA_AUDIO_SESSION](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/media/audiofx/AudioEffect#EXTRA_AUDIO_SESSION:kotlin.String)extra. Both extras are mandatory. It is good practice for applications to broadcast this intent when music playback stops and/or when exiting to free system resources consumed by audio effect engines.
| | [String](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html) | [ACTION_DISPLAY_AUDIO_EFFECT_CONTROL_PANEL](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/media/audiofx/AudioEffect#ACTION_DISPLAY_AUDIO_EFFECT_CONTROL_PANEL:kotlin.String)
Intent to launch an audio effect control panel UI. The goal of this intent is to enable separate implementations of music/media player applications and audio effect control application or services. This will allow platform vendors to offer more advanced control options for standard effects or control for platform specific effects. The intent carries a number of extras used by the player application to communicate necessary pieces of information to the control panel application. The calling application must use the android.app.Activity#startActivityForResult(Intent, int) method to launch the control panel so that its package name is indicated and used by the control panel application to keep track of changes for this particular application. The[EXTRA_AUDIO_SESSION](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/media/audiofx/AudioEffect#EXTRA_AUDIO_SESSION:kotlin.String)extra will indicate an audio session to which the audio effects should be applied. If no audio session is specified, either one of the follownig will happen: - If an audio session was previously opened by the calling application with[ACTION_OPEN_AUDIO_EFFECT_CONTROL_SESSION](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/media/audiofx/AudioEffect#ACTION_OPEN_AUDIO_EFFECT_CONTROL_SESSION:kotlin.String)intent, the effect changes will be applied to that session. - If no audio session is opened, the changes will be stored in the package specific storage area and applied whenever a new audio session is opened by this application. The[EXTRA_CONTENT_TYPE](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/media/audiofx/AudioEffect#EXTRA_CONTENT_TYPE:kotlin.String)extra will help the control panel application customize both the UI layout and the default audio effect settings if none are already stored for the calling application.
| | [String](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html) | [ACTION_OPEN_AUDIO_EFFECT_CONTROL_SESSION](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/media/audiofx/AudioEffect#ACTION_OPEN_AUDIO_EFFECT_CONTROL_SESSION:kotlin.String)
Intent to signal to the effect control application or service that a new audio session is opened and requires audio effects to be applied. This is different from[ACTION_DISPLAY_AUDIO_EFFECT_CONTROL_PANEL](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/media/audiofx/AudioEffect#ACTION_DISPLAY_AUDIO_EFFECT_CONTROL_PANEL:kotlin.String)in that no UI should be displayed in this case. Music player applications can broadcast this intent before starting playback to make sure that any audio effect settings previously selected by the user are applied. The effect control application receiving this intent will look for previously stored settings for the calling application, create all required audio effects and apply the effect settings to the specified audio session. The calling package name is indicated by the[EXTRA_PACKAGE_NAME](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/media/audiofx/AudioEffect#EXTRA_PACKAGE_NAME:kotlin.String)extra and the audio session ID by the[EXTRA_AUDIO_SESSION](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/media/audiofx/AudioEffect#EXTRA_AUDIO_SESSION:kotlin.String)extra. Both extras are mandatory. If no stored settings are found for the calling application, default settings for the content type indicated by[EXTRA_CONTENT_TYPE](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/media/audiofx/AudioEffect#EXTRA_CONTENT_TYPE:kotlin.String)will be applied. The default settings for a given content type are platform specific.

### getStrengthSupported
Added in[API level 9](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
open fun getStrengthSupported(): Boolean
```
Indicates whether setting strength is supported. If this method returns false, only one strength is supported and the setStrength() method always rounds to that value.
| Return ||
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------|
| [Boolean](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html) | true is strength parameter is supported, false otherwise |

### setStrength
Added in[API level 9](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
open fun setStrength(strength: Short): Unit
```
Sets the strength of the bass boost effect. If the implementation does not support per mille accuracy for setting the strength, it is allowed to round the given strength to the nearest supported value. You can use the[getRoundedStrength()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/media/audiofx/BassBoost#getRoundedStrength())method to query the (possibly rounded) value that was actually set.
| Parameters ||
|------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `strength` | [Short](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-short/index.html):strength of the effect. The valid range for strength strength is \[0, 1000\], where 0 per mille designates the mildest effect and 1000 per mille designates the strongest. |
| Exceptions ||
|-------------------------------------------|---|
| `java.lang.IllegalStateException` | |
| `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` | |
| `java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException` | |
