As far as I know, the audio functionality gained by rooting is no longer possible in newer android versions.

I don't understand why the concept of 'rooting'(as it applies to android) exists. I purchased my phone, with money, why in the actual fuck are there hundreds-thousands of folders and files my pocket computer will not let me touch?

I'm really tired of the 'safety before freedom' mentality that seems to exist these days. Humanity's managed to exist this long without being nanny'd and the people trying to do the nannying are also human.
