SRS effects distorts with any earphones

i´m here again LOL
Continuing with the improvement of my DHD....
I´VE detected that in the music player (i´ve tried some music players)
there are a problem... when i change the sound effect to DOLBY MOBILE, works fine and better than without it...
but if i select SRS effects the music distorts in any earphone that i use (since high quality big sony earphones... to the htc little earphones...)
If I select SRS effects without earphones it does a frightful noise
there´s some people that happen it?

I don't get this effect.
I'm using a pair of SoundMagic PL15s (surprisingly good yet incredibly cheap) and I have no distortion at all.
I'm running LeeDroid 3.0.0 and his 3.0.2 kernel.

I'll see if I can dig up the bundled HTC 'phones and see if there's any difference.

It think it's because SRS boosts bass.
Try using equalizer bass boost and you get the same effect.
If you turn the volume to 13/15 the distortion is gone.
I tried it with some crappy only one side working philips earphones to my beloved Razer Carcharias headset and both had the same effect.
(I'm using ARHD 5.1.3 btw, which has the headphones volume fix and 10% boost on loudspeaker. I had the same effect with froyo though)

okay man... trying it... then i´ll edit this post thx for your interest
EDIT:AHH you have just given me an idea.. MAYBE ITS possible that i have a earphones distortion because the all the audio outpunts are boosted 10%
when i try to select the equalizer and select bass boost my earphones (Factory htc earphones & SONY mdr z 1000 ) also.. distorts. BUT IN FEWER DEGREE THAN SRS...

will it make it louder than stock high setting?

Yes. Full eq for speaker, phone, and blutooth. You have to flash the zip which you can find in xboarders thread

To clarify, clamman asked if DSP manager can increase the volume of the speaker, not change the EQ. I am curious as well..

I don't think you know exactly what an equalizer is or what it does. An equalizer adjusts the intensities of specific frequency bands independently. For example, it lets you increase the intensity of bass frequencies and lower the treble frequencies if you wish.

Equalizers are NOT volume knobs.

no one has any ideas to make it louder? i need help please lol

The speaker already gets fuzzy at max volume. It's pointless to try and use software to force it to get louder, it's not a high quality speaker.
I'd be more inclined to take it apart, and replace the speaker with a higher quality one, but that's only if you're really willing to put some effort into things.

where can i get a louder and better speaker that will fit?

I have no idea how loud you want your G2 speakers especially when the speakers are not the best ever. However I believe if you are running a sense rom and you flash the Unity Kernel (In my signature) it supports a 20% audio boost you may try that. They are also currently looking for another way to boost audio so maybe in awhile the audio boost will be greater.

So.. increase the volume of all frequencies and then you increased the overall volume?

It depends on whether the said equalizer (such as DSP) is actually boosting the frequencies above their "normal" levels, or just allows you to "cut" the various frequencies below their present level.
For anyone on Gingerbread, the app Volume+ allows you to boost actual volume, in addition to an equalizer, and with different profiles for headset, speaker and Bluetooth. The volume increase is not huge, but its definitely helpful. Its a paid app on the Market, but free on the dev's website:

got app installed but makes it quiter not louder anyone know why?

Low volume with stock earphone

The volume is too low with the stock earphone, I don't know how is it with another earphone or maybe the cause of walkman, etc...
Did anybody have the same problem?

The sony ones that came with it? for me they are ear blasting loud compaired to the Samsung ones I have.

The headphones are of great qualty but i find sony walkmans equalizer as well as sonys sound enhancements a bit lame at times.
If your about acoustics or clarity then walkman is up your alley but if your looking for grinding bass & hearing damage volumes i suggest third part app or flashing a mod or custom rom that has volume hacks included in its package.
Apollo combined with dsp equalizer is the ususal music player to be in most custom roms. I really like this player very simple an the dsp is just perfect.
For the xperia zl there are a couple sound mods that can be flashed but i have not found a significant difference in loudness when flashed. so i use jet audio. i tweak the equalizer from the app and damn is it loud. the app even gives you the option to have a 20 band equalizer plus loads more of features.
Here are the threads for sound mods . maybe you might find a difference in volume. I didnt.

Looks like u r used to louder music. So, have you tried some other headphones/earphones? I think you should, coz those which came with my Note2 were much louder than the stock ZL ones. Btw, I find the stock ones good & loud enough for my use (any louder ones give me earache) & I prefer using Walkman for music (clear audio mode).

Volume+ app will increase the volume for you.

turning on the ClearAudio+ solves the problem for me.

In normal circumstances, I find the volume to be loud enough with ClearAudio turned on. But when I need head thumping, mind numbing, skull rattling bass (sound purists die!!) (i.e while running or working out), turning on the Extreme Bass in PowerAmp is the only option. But then, the volume goes very low. On the Note 2, since there was quite a headroom until the max volume was reached, it was all good. But with the ZL, no bueno :crying:
Gonna try some Samsung in-ears and see how they perform. Will report back here.

Which bluetooth earphones exactly?

If u guys want heavier bass (than default walkman) through in ear headphones (stock or others), try this app (no root req). It, however, doesn't increase/boost the overall volume level.

Htc one m8 beat audio or speaker boost?

Hi, i wanted to volume up my m8's speakers, i have Viper rom, and V4A installed, but i noticed that Htc One m7 is better on speakers than M8, because of IntenseBLAST mod provided to m7, is there a way to volume up my speakers? There must be a way, this intense blast mod doesnt work for m8 cuz M8 doesnt have Beats audio, can someone help here?
Thanks in advance.

There is a mixer file you can mess with manually to boost the volume, but it will create noise/distortion so its not worth it.

What mixer? Can U help me a little with it?
So it seems that M7 is louder on speakers than M8? Now im sad I like this phone (M8), the sound on headphones is great, on speakers too, but a little louder would be enough for me, maybe i could volume up the speakers without the distortion, just a little, would U help?
Thanks for fast reply.

Could someone guide me to edit some files responsible for speaker volume and how to edit them? I want to try so much to look how the efects would be.
Thanks so much for Your help.

Turn on Playback Gain Control in V4A and set the effect strength to how loud you want it (Slight, Moderate, or Extreme)

more loud speakers?
i have noticed that, sense roms are not to loud, you can try to install a pure android rom like cyanogenmod, liquidsmooth, carbon rom.
you will notice that the speakers will sound very loud my friend..
honestly i love sense and would like to see a sound mod to gain the perfect loudness on my M8

This only work on headphones, not on speaker, Ofc if U have set minimal loudness 1/15 in your UI and apply the gain in V4A then u will notice volume boost even on speaker, but if ur on Max in UI 15/15 then the volume wont boost. See for yourself i have checked it all already.
Cheers.

Hey, you have to go into the init.d tweaks and in several areas, change a few settings from false to true, and so on. If V4A is installed, it will contradict the pre-installed "Soundboost" software and cause distortion. I think the tweak is to turn LPA decode off., or to false. I'm in the middle of firmware updates otherwise I would post a screenshot or more particular answer. I will update the specifics soon for you.

I'd be grateful for your screenshots.
Thanks a million.

Heya man.
Have a quick look here: http://androidhackz.blogspot.com/2013/12/get-amazing-sound-quality-with.html. It goes in more depth about what I was mentioning actually. Recently when I install the V4A 2.3.3.0.zip and it ask which quality audio drive I want, another window pops up informing me that the Viper4Android app itself can handle the disabling you would need. Perhaps an older version doesn't though. Hope this helps? :good:
