Hey guys!
I use Pandora frequently, and love the quality on my BakedSnack9.7 ROM, as well as on other 2.1 ROMs. But after upgrading to Cyanogen's 2.2 RC1, I am noticing a STARK loss in sound quality. I also previously noticed this on Ava's 2.2 release some weeks ago. Does anyone know the way to get this quality back?
The only differences I see between the 2.1 ROMs and the 2.2 ROMs I used are the following:
2.1 ROMs are Sense-based. 2.2 ROMs are AOSP-based. So along with the upgraded versions of the OS, that is the only other change. Could it be a framework issue? Or better quality drivers on the Sense ROMs?
If anyone has a workaround to getting the better quality back, it would be AWESOME!
Any help would be amazing! Thanks!
There seems to be a 'fix' on the Nexus One forum:

The fix also works on EVO's running 2.2. It also fixes the SiriusXM application.

Thanks! I was hoping I would find a fix for the audio quality in the CyanogenMod thread but I didn't even have to check there!
Thanks for the help guys! Just did the build.prop fix, then pushed back and restarted. Works great! I can now listen to my Pandora playlist on my work speakers again!
Hey guys now since we have 2.2 root woohoo!! I am in the process of deciding which rom I am going to flash or kernel. Baked snacks as gotten my attention with its battery kernel. However my questions is this, with baked snacks will the wiimote be able to link up with PSXDROID or is CM V6 the only ROM that fixes the bluetooth error. Now I have read that its is because of the way bluetooth was programmed with sense, however because this is a custom rom and in the updates it states fixed bluetooth I am curious.
HAD had that rom before nopewiimote bluetooth doesn't work

As I understand it, CyanogenMod 6 is the only ROM that has incorporated a more standard Bluetooth stack. All the rest are still using the crippled one from HTC. So CM6 is the only option for expanded BT connections beyond headsets.
This is what I believed as well just wanted to confirm this. Thanks for the input guys and I do appreciate it.
i have a htc desire which is has crap speaker when talking on louderspeaker or through normal ear speaker the sound quality is ****, i want to know if there is an audio mod add on which we can apply to sense roms, i understand richard trips kernel has the audio mod, but i prefer leedroid latest kernel which allows you to undervolt by your own preferece.
So my question is there a seperate add-on that richard has in his kernel that can be applied to any sense rom??? If so please let me know, if no, then please devs make it for us sense users plz...
If i am not wrong, there are Sense Kernels from RichardTrip. Why not give that a try?
ive noticed we have incredibly low headset volume? is there any mods i can use to gain a boost. right now im useing the volume boost app. but i would prefer a more permanent fix
Dsp manager. Look in xboarders thread, dl the flashable zip, flash from recovery or rom manager(if you must)

I have the same issue. Mostly want to boost the ringer volume.
I found few topics for DSP manager when using the search.
I'm not sure which one exactly works for Desire Z and sense roms.
A lot of people though complaining to stick on splash screen after installing and rebooting.
Anyway... is this going to work on Desire Z or not /sense rom ok/?

because in the comments here it is written that is not:

Thank you in advance too.
If you use Xboarder's sense ROM, DSPManager will work.
If you are on a stock sense ROM, it will not work.
So use a custom sense ROM because it feels the same but works even better.
What headphones are you using? I believe the output jack only outputs up to 32 ohms. If you use higher impedance rating headphones, that would explain the lower volume. I have tried to email HTC specifically about the output rating of the Desire Z, but over the course of 3 weeks, they actually told me that their engineers refused to divulge the info! For whatever reason...
What volume boost app are you using? Volume+ works decently. The difference is not huge, but it helps significantly. Only works on Gingerbread ROMs. What ROM are you on?
Volume+ is paid app on the Market, but free at the devs website:

redshoes you might be out of luck if you're not noticing any improvement.
The unity v4 kernel is supposed to sport a 20% audio boost itself and then paired with Volume+, I think that'd be about the best you could do. It's odd that Volume+ is not working for you. Perhaps you should bring that up with the developer.

Dsp manager works on unity, coredroid, synergy sense roms. As well as every GB rom I've tried. Never had anything negative from flashing it. There is only 1 dsp manager btw..

I've been using rmk 2.42 sense with the unitiy v4 kernel which is said to give a 20% increase. Volume is low( to my taste ) with the stock headsets that came with the phone or even skullcandys. I use volume boost which basicaly does the same thing. I tried the dsp install in the post above but I bootloops a couple times. It seems we have a limit set cause maybe of the 2.3.3 leak that has never been truly removed. The only solution I've seen is running a asop rom

I use Virtuous Doubleshot 1.1.0 RC1 with Unity V4 kernel – (I put it in my signature, but don't see it) ... and I thought of writting to the developer to ask him if I should or should not see any difference with the app installed
A little bit scared to try DSPManager. I read today more than an hour for it, there are a lot of threads for it.
does anybody know how to get better audio quality on aosp roms? it sounds like absolute garbage and ive since gone back to a sense rom. dsp manager sucks and viper4android didnt make much of a difference....
Offtopic : thats why i stopped using any of the roms based of CM, too many issues and they are never stable. not worth it to put so much energy on in my opinion. Unless you own a nexus. then yea , i can undestand installing a cm based rom.
