Hey all, I'm having problems with audio played thru my headphones, wanted to see if I could get some ideas as how to fix it. Music is only distorted when played thru headphones, and yes I tried multiple headphones. From the speaker it sounds prefect. It doesn't matter if it's played from my internal memory, Google Music, or Pandora.... All distorted
When I say distorted, I mean it sounds almost like it's coming from underwater and the vocals are almost completely drowned out.
By the way I'm rooted running the latest versions of AOKP Rom and Franco's Kernal. I don't think I had this problem before I rooted, I don't really remember to be honest. I've only my phone for less than a week, been rooted for 2 days, I don't recall if I used headphones on it prior to rooting
Any ideas what the problem could be?
Had that problem with one of the Franco's kernels think it was 19 and aokp 26... try changing kernel or rom ....

Hmmmmmmm :\
Has anyone gotten DSP to work on ICS roms? I'm flashing the CM9 DSP Manager, and it installs fine.
Opening the application up I'm able to select presets, turn on bass boost, etc, but the sounds effects to not activate (no change in sound). They say they're enabled, but they're not.
I've tried on ROMChicago, Darkside, BulletROM. I've tried on a handful of music players to verify they were not overriding the settings.
Please don't refer me to PlayerPro or a different app to improve my sound-- I've purchased them all and tried them all, to my ears, there's no better sound than with DSP Manager setup properly.
Thanks,
TL
Works find here with beats audio mod. Only works with stock music player.

Which rom are you using? I could not get this to work on the stock music player.

AOKP with beats mod for the SG2 and with working DSP from CM9. I searched and found them all. I use Power amp though. I wanted to see if I can make it work, and it does

So you can turn on a song, then open the DSP Manager UI, enable and disable bass boost, and noticeably hear the difference immediately?

DSP manager dynamic range
Hi,
I installed Darkside Evolution3 v7 ROM and I noticed that dynamic range really gives good results.:good:
When I turn it ON it works fine for a second or two and then the sound gets really messy.
When the volume is changed works again and in a second it switches back to a messy sound.
To listen I have to keep pressing volume buttons up and down.
have ay idea about this?
cheers.
This may sound dumb, but did you try adjusting the effects strength. I thought dsp wasn't working for me either, then I realize that it was set on slight. After I moved it to extreme the sounds are way louder.

Ya Ive tried that. when I turn it to the extreme the effect is different but the same revert issue comes within 1 second ov volume change.
But if I go up use max volume (15) it stays that way but the bass is too draggy.

I was just browsing through and found you're post. It's funny because I am having the very same issue with the Darkside Evolution3 v8 ROM. You did a wonderful job explaining the problem I was trying to put it in words but that's exactly what its doing. Turn the volume up it sounds great and then a second later you can hardly hear it. Some things I noticed, it only seems to happen with an audio jack headphones plugged in. I dont notice it with my car blue tooth. Also have you noticed a difference if you just turn off DSP mgr? I forced closed it and it was fine but as soon as I started that process again it had the same effect. It's quite annoying.

I tried force closing it and then the sound effect is totally gone and it sounds like stock player. The issue is only with the dynamic range filter.
if its turned off the issue doesn't come up. I was hoping to upgrade to v8 due to this issue and it seems that there is no luck in that as well.

Hey,
Found a solution to the dreadful issue. Install tasker and add a action which changes media volume
continuously one up and down will not effect your listening experience but will keep the effects alive.
hook the tasks up with a profile and you can make it automatic when the headset is plugged in.
I waisted whole day trying different versions of dspmanager.
Most of the files floating around just repackaged versions sometimes wrongly of basically 4 different builds.
I got 2 different packages... one is working fine with Pandora and everything else but GoogleMusic, the second is working with GM but not with Pandora... rest of the versions give either bad distorted sound or do not work at all.
I am on stock ICS. Which dsp you want?

Im on Dark side evolution v8 stock DSP manager. Beats mods are just the same as the DSP manager.
This happened yesterday out of the blue and is really strange.
Here is the problem: the music player works fine on the external speaker but when I plug in headphones the quality goes to ****, the background music still plays but the vocals echo and become staticy. I tried multiple headphones and all had the same result, I tried restarting my phone and that didn't work either. I also tried to mess around with the equalizer but that didn't help.
I am on an El29 kernel with CM-10 10-20121108-Experimental-d710-beta2
Any idea on whats going on? any help will be much appreciated, thank you!
It could be the "experimental" in your rom.

Have you tried any of the new nightlies? Also have you tried DSP manager?

Hey, noticed something at the gym yesterday, whenever i change the song on my s3 with cm10.1 and ktoonsez, the volume spikes and maxes out. Ive tried 3 different music players so i feel like its the rom. Anyone know a fix for this?

Not so sure about a fix but mine randomly spiked while it was playing on speakers. Now I'm not complaining about it cause I though volume was already at max (but guess it wasn't ) and actually made it better. Only happened once though so didn't really look into it. If I come across something, I'll post back.

I have not noticed this issue when useing my headphones to switch songs or useing the volume buttons. But it does do it from time to time when useing the screen to change songs.
I have installed the latest build of PAC rom, and even before this I installed the new Liquid Smooth rom, all this on the same day. I wiped factory data, dalvik cache and everything else. When I listen to music while the headphones are in, and click into the app drawer / any other app, the song I'm listening too gets cut off, and it comes back on where it left off. It is extremely annoying, when the phone itself is in sleep and I'm listening to music it works fine, when I try to open up another app while my headphones are in, I consistently hear the crackling noise. I can't even listen to music properly, how can I fix this? I've installed other music players and its the same result, crackling while using the phone, no music crackling when phone is sleeping, could it be a hardware issue? I'm thinking it isn't because I updated to the official release of the Liquid Smooth rom today, which was EXTREMELY buddy, like legit couldn't handle the number of reboots that happened in 1 hour and the horrid battery, and it only started happening today, I am now on PAC rom and it is still happening, I tried rewiping and reflashing but it doesn't work. Any help?
This seems to be an issue for some on the latest build. If you've installed correctly and still face the same issue you can try reverting back to this RC2 build with the new headphone fix. It seems to be the most stable even with the music issue.

believe it or not, downloading power amp music player just fixed my issue, so if anyone is having this problem, just download poweramp, even though the UI kinda sucks, it gets rid of the crackling noise
:good:
