I have Cyanogenmod 10.1, which is android version 4.2.1 on my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 3 (SPH-L710). When DSP manager is enabled, mainly Bass Boost, it causes a lot of distortion and it is impossible to listen to music with it enabled. When I had Cyanogenmod 10.0 I had this same issue. I was on the original gs3 rom before flashing CM and was wondering why it is doing this and if it will get fixed or if there is a solution. When listening to songs with Bass Boost at Extreme and the Equalizer enabled at R&B which is my main settings it distorts. I have gotten it to work perfectly for some periods of time, but it reverts back to the distortion. Any help would be appreciated!

Its not a problems. With DSP manager but your equitment extreme pumps out a lot of bass and if your heaphones ect. Can't handle it they mess up for example I have done Sony headsets that gets all distorted when I got the bass turned up on my phone but my skull candy headsets handle it perfectaly and sound awesome. Hope this helps

This simply isn't the issue. I've had my DPS on my HTC One X work perfectly 2 play-throughs on a song, then on the 3rd play through it became muddled on Moderate Bass settings with Strongest Comp + Rock EQ. I reset the phone and it was even worse and I had to turn Bass Boost off entirely, and it hasn't worked right since.
I'm using Shure 535's which outclass ****candies by a few hundred dollars. I'm still looking for an explanation OP.
I have the same problem on my verizon gs3. Any aosp rom pretty much has the bass problem. The only temp solution i found was to have 2 music player apps. Play music from one and while its still playing hit the home button and open the other player app and play any song. The bass should not be distorted for about 2 songs lol. Its annoying, but the only solution i found for it.

Which kernel are you using, and does it have it's own sound ajustmants? Cause if you are using for example a kernel like boeffla with boeffla sound enabled.. you can have the distortion when using dsp also..
Recommend Turning one of. . I myself used only boeffla sound

Try Bass Booster Pro. It's much better than DSP.

I ran into the same problem. On my Samsung Galaxy S2 (on cyanogenmod of course) bass boost via DSP manager never worked, the sound was always distorted. On my Galaxy S3 suddenly bass boost was working flawlessy with the very same headphones I used on my S2. Then when I switched to the S4 it stopped working again. Since I was getting used to the bass boost I started investigating the issue and found a solution.
LPA (low power audio) is causing the distortion. For some reason lpa was never enabled on my S3, this is why it was working there. In order to disable lpa in CM you just need to edit the build.prop file and change lpa.decode to false. One reboot and everything should work again.
I realise this post is way old but for the first time ever I can actually use DSP manager in CM roms.
Thank you so much!
Thank you mate! You saved my life!
Hi guys. My previous phone was a HTC EVO 4G LTE with Beats Audio. With my new Samsung Galaxy S4 phone with stock unrooted ROM, I notice that the volume gets lower when I enable the equalizer (using headphones and Play Music app). The volume gets lower when I increase the bass boost or 3D effects. Is this normal for this phone? I don't remember that happening with the EVO. When I disable the equalizer the volume is louder, but the bass is too flat. I'm using the provided ear pods. I guess I'll have to root this phone to get better audio quality.

Hi guys. Whenever I enable bass boost in any equalizer (such as the Google Play Music app's default one) and play a track using the Google Play Music app, I get slight distortion when listening to the song via the stock Samsung headphones. This happens with even a slight bass boost, but goes away as soon as I remove any bass boost. I tested with 2 different headphones and I always get the same thing when bass boost is enabled. I don't recall this happening on my old HTC EVO 4G LTE phone. Is this normal with this phone? Is this the same issue as the reported audio distortion with certain headphones? One last question and I'll shutup... can anyone recommend a good stock Touchwiz ROM with bloatware removed that includes the European firmware that fixes the headphone distortion issues along with the inclusion of Apps2SD? Thank you!

Bass boost should only be used with headphones that can handle it. Those earbuds that come with the phone are cheap.
i know the """"beats"""" audio never worked with google play music it would always cause crazy distortions
(beats audio isnt realy beats just DSP manager rebranded)
UPDATE ive installed viper right after acid (both are installed right now) see effects below
so i installed viper and no issues.
Im not even sure uf acid worked but viper definitely makes my earphone (the other phone had a ripoff) louder than ever before BUT the volume stays the same(loudest) until almost muted!Also the quality is worse at some certain sounds but this can probably be fixed with better settings
Why does the volume stay on max until almost muted?
Hello,
So as you can see, my htc desire 616 has an equalizer problem.
I'm gonna be totally honest here, it was my fault. I'm such a noob. I rooted my device with kingo root and it worked out just the way it was supposed to be. It's got boomsound, or it use to have anyway, I was listening to some songs on poweramp with i patched through lucky patcher with nice volume. But I previously had a Samsung and I rooted it and enjoyed exposed framework. I installed Beats Audio on that through an apk. It was so stupid of me to try that on this device which already had an updated version of beatsaudio ie. boom sound.
when i restarted my phone, and opened my player expecting an awesome sound, it got the like drrrr rrrr. I though my dive had gone wrong, or whatever so I uninstalled beatsaudio from the app and restated. And boom, my boomsound waas gone. Now it plays songs through the speaker with very low sound volume. I think my equalizer got messed up as whenever i open power amp, or the music effects on my music app, or the system equalizer and play music, ONE ERROR COME UP. UNFORTUNATELY, MUSIC FX HAS STOPPED every time. Guys so do I have to change my equalizer or is there a way to get back my boomsound. I've tries restarting, rebooting with clearing delvic cache and everything. PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP
