Does anyone know how to get DSP Manager to work on the SGS2?
DSP Manager is pretty much the only thing i miss about CM7. I've tried replacing the MusicPlayer.apk from /system/app with Music.apk and installed DSP Manager in RootExplorer but no luck...Anyone have any ideas?
I too would like to see DSP on my SGS2. Luv it on my Defy but it doesn't work on SGS2. Pulled the apk from another rom, installed on SGS2. UI comes up and functions but no sound adjustments work. Evidently missing software components on our SGS2 that it needs to work.
It's included in the beast mod ROM as well as bombardier

You guys know the stock music players has it built in. Music settings equalizer set to custom. Its actually quite better than the standard dsp manager. It even has 5.1 sound settings.

yeah, but 5.1 does not work on bluetooth
So I was playing around with my phone a bit and I noticed that the app MusicFX was running in the background. I checked the next day and it wasn't running. The moment I started the music player, however, it started as well.
I didn't install this app myself, and I'm not sure if it was on the phone already, but looking at the version number, it's already outdated. Finally it doesn't give me the option to uninstall it, just disable it. I just don't know if the music player actually depends on it or not (maybe the included equalizer uses it or something), so I'm hesitant to disable it.
Does anyone else already have this app preinstalled?
I do. I'm going to go ahead and say the equalizer in the music player uses it

Interesting that google would use 3rd party software in their OS without even announcing it. I wonder what would happen if I downloaded MusicFX from the market (since it doesn't acknowledge that I have it installed). I guess there's only one way to find out...

Are you sure it's the same app? What is the full activity name in the app manager? (e.g. com.google.apps.AppName...)

com.android.musicfx - I'm almost positive that it's the same app. Same icon as well. Do you not have it? It shows up in the cached processes section of the running tab when you play music with the stock player.

I don't have a Galaxy Nexus yet. But if the activity name is com.android.musicfx, then that's a Google app. Maybe Google bought the company that made the original Musicfx?
FWIW, I use Spotify, and have been regularly seeing crash notifications for MusicFX. I just disabled it and haven't noticed any issues in Spotify playback.
MusicFX - Android 4.03
After the recent update to Ice Cream Sandwich I see an option to enable MusicFX in the music effects panel. (Settings>sound>music effects) HOWEVER it does not show up in settings when playing a song in the stock music player, which it is supposed to do.
I have been using equalizer app for months which seems to work fine with ICS.
I looked up MusicFX in the Android Market - it did not say open, rather install so I installed it. Ended up with two copies in the music effects panel, and Equalizer stopped adjusting volume levels. I uninstalled the MusicFX I downloaded and Equalizer is now working again.
It appears Google Music is not implementing MusicFX despite it being in the Options.
Some folks have reported volume problems since updating to ICS. Any thoughts/suggestions on this problem????
Many people here are using Volume+ instead of music fx and have seen improved results with it.
I have noticed in custom roms that MusicFX is being removed. There are volume issues with the Galaxy Nexus (being too quiet) and I assume (part of) the problem is this MusicFX app considering the process to get the SGN louder is to get an equilizer app like Volume+ and going to Settings>App>All>MusicFX and disabling it.

It does show up in Play Music at least. Play a song or go to the Now Playing screen, tap the menu or actions button, Sound effects. Whatever music effects app you have selected under the system settings, sounds, music effects will open. In my case, my I've selected DSPManager instead of MusicFX.

It does show up in the app, if its enabled under Settings. Stock music app being Google Music, of course.
4 Years later it's still revelant
MusicFX is still being pre-installed still. It has improved EQ, Bass Boost, and Virtualization effects for us who like to customize our listening experience. As far as I know MusicFX is pre-installed with agreements with the developer. It's probably in line with Google's vision. It does sound good. My device is a Huawei Union (Y538) with it pre-installed. (manufactured in 2015).
MusicFX compatible players use it for example, selectable in PowerAmp(has it's own sound system better than MusicFX). Google Play Music, Spotify to name a few.
Hi
Running CM9 i have a question about the DSP Manager.
I'm using Spotify and Wimp alot to stream/playback music on my phone. The problem is the DSP Manager which only seem to work with the stock music player (Apollo).
Anyone know of a workaround to get it functioning with other players?
I have also installed Equalizer from the market, which works but the sound quality isnt that good.

strange, as DSP work also in Play Music for me, or any other music app that use the android EQ.
poweramp for example have is own EQ
Yeah, I think maybe Spotify and Wimp don't have the DSP equalizer implemented.
Wow, helps to read..found this in the DSP Manager helpfile:
Code:
DSP Manager is per-output audio adjustment application.....
The manager can only enable it for applications which are compliant with android's audio effects specification, i.e. most music players.
I don't know how equalizer functions compared to DSP though since that one works.
/Edit: Is the DSP Manager implementation the same as which is used by Google Music?
Same problem here with a moto defy green lens and CM9 epsylon's last build.
DSP works only with Apollo and not with mixzing or cube player like it did before when i was running CM7 !
I can not post urls beacause I am new to the forum but if you go to thread
"url_of_xda_forum/showthread.php?t=1732812"
You can find:
[MOD]Modified DSP Manager with BEATS audio. For CM9, MIUI & AOKP.(6.25.12)
and your Galaxy Nexus is in the list of the working devices
Hope I was helpful, regards
I noticed the same also. I would expect for instance that increase volume settings would apply to resolve the low volume problem in GN especially for ringtones and alarms.
Hi I just rooted and flashed Ice Cold Sandwich 8.8 and was just listening to music, and I noticed it sounded not as good as it usually did with Dolby and SRS. Do roms not support Dolby and SRS?
Bump
Have you tried the snd3254 command? If not, google it – I can't mention any links since I'm a noob here.
Most aosp Roma do not have those equalizers. Sense supports them though. Beats can be installed on any Rom though.
- hit my thanks button if i helped you -
Playerpro supports SRS and Dolby mobile (although I haven't been able to get dolby to work).
And since playerpro is rom independent, well more power to you. It is a paid app, though.
Noozy and neutron music player both have native effects that can make sound better. Noozy is free with less features, while neutron is an orgy of effects and extremely powerful, but paid.
hey uh sorry to requesting another apps, did anyone have apollo music player and dsp manager with equalizer working in our device? (i think it needs dsp manager to make the equalizer works *correct me if im wrong*) i really like apollo music player, i've try ported apollo for another device but its force closed when scrolling in album and the equalizer isnt working.
You can try with them, i take them from CM10 Alpha 2 ...
