Anybody tried the new beats audio mod?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523760
Supposedly its supposed to work on all Gingerbread roms, not ICS tho. Just wondering if anyone has checked it out yet and had success.

Improvement
I'm on Blazer 4.0, and I wasn't sure how much an improvement it made until I restored back before I applied it. It's certainly an improvement over stock. I don't have the best headphones here at work, but it sounded a lot better when I had it plugged into my car stereo. Can't wait to try it out with my Bose headphones when I get home.

Wow, impressive. Sounds is much nicer.

It's been down for days prob because of the name Beats Audio being used. Monster will sue anything for using there or one of there name/tm
But it does make the sound-Q improve

Speaker not working cm9 with shadow 5 kernel

My phone all of a sudden stopped ringing when I got calls, text, etc.... noticed it while trying to watch a video...no sound. Then one day it rang for an IM. So I knw now the speaker isn't busted like I originally thought. Its worked fine until now. Anybody have any input? Feel free 2 pm me

Must be something in the water. Had same thing. Try plugging in a wired headset while watching a youtube, then unplug. This worked for me for 2 hours then nada. Reflashed rom and even reformated to mtd but no difference. Something is hosed in nvram. Replaced unit under tep as I also had cracked screen so didn't get too much into.

I believe I still have the cm9 file on my sd. Wouldn't I need to reflash my kernel? To my knowledge handles the sound etc.

Or maybe flash shadow 4 again.

None of that worked for me. If you figure it out, please post a solution cause there are quite a few threads on the issue.

Odin back to stock EL30 and see if you still have issue. If you do it is a hardware issue. that is what happened to my wife. The repair center fixed it for free because I have the insurance.

What all will that do? I assume I will loose root and cm9?

It assures that you do not have corrupted data. Yes you will have to root and then flash CM9. Do not restore anything. See if your issue is gone, then load apps and set up your phone.

My phone was rooted remotely. I used to have odin on an sd card. I know I would understand it if I seen it done. Originally I just wanted root on stock rom and kernel but he asked me if I wanted gb or ics so naturally I wanted 2 try out ics. He set it up with shadow 4 kernel then I flashed shadow 5 on my own. I dnt understand y it would work fine for like a month or 2 then nothing.

THE most ironic thing is someone else I rooted I suggested the shadow kernel for has had this same issue.... he even flashed back wiping data but to no avail tomorrow ill have to odin y'all back to stock and re root ya and give you the proper cm9's and kernels and you should be good to go if of course the speaker isn't out. =]

speaker still not working
I tried reflashing cm9 and shadow 5, then tried cm9 and included stock kernel alone with gapps, then tried shadow 6. no sound on all. but doesnt explain it working for a bit then going back out. idk

Mine works and I have always used shadow. Shadow has no speaker mods other than voodoo. Have you blown it with volume+?

You will have to Odin to get it working then reinstall everything without restoring data.

Marcusant and kenny, is there a way of accessing any of the nvram settings for audio, like telling it to use speaker vs audio jack so these can be reset somehow? I recently went through similar situation. Plugged wired headset in and out while watching youtube. This made my speakers come alive again for short time so they weren't blown. I factory reset, flashed stock, all ota's, rooted and went mtd cleangb. None of this brought back speakers. Something was telling them not to come on. Got new device so moot point 4 me now...

Sounds more like it was the hardware jack itself that was bad and getting stuck on. Might have been junk in the jack.

Odin him back to stock to see if he still has the problem I suspect he will. My wife had this issue when on cm no custom kernel it was a hardware issue. I am not saying CM caused it **** happens and her hardware failed.
One way to tell if it is hardware is does it vibrate? If it doesn't vibrate then it is hardware if it does then it might be a setup issue.

Yea it vibrates. Phone sitting on the table with vibrate.....kinda like a ringtone right? Sad but true lol

Then it might not be hardware. When my wife's speaker stopped working it wouldn't even vibrate. When I spoke with the person at Sprint that fixed it he said it is the same unit. Of course I am not sure if it did vibrate at first because the wife didn't tell me for like 3 weeks that it was happening.

Haha, yeah it's fine. I was just letting you know there was a typo.
As for your question, you might want to look into some ROM, I believe some have it included (probably mostly Gingerbread ROMs).
If you don't want to flash any custom ROMs, I'm sure there's something but I'm just not aware, since I don't use any of that lol. Sorry.

well i came from the epic 4g and in order to use voodoo plus you had to have a compatable kernel, and there were many custom kernels that could be flashed to any custom rom. Right now im running codename android ics. from what i saw in the development forum there are no custom kernels, and no voodoo for ics. I will have to read around on some gb threads to check for voodoo

Gunslinger kernel EL29 has louder app compatibility baked in. It's a paid app though. I don't know if the dev for the app has all the snafus ironed out yet.

Have you tried a boostaroo amp?

The ROM I'm using has DSPManager 1.0 included, it's not in the Play Store (Market) though.
You can Google it though, although I think it's just an equalizer or something? Not sure if that's of any help.

i actaully know about dspmanager from my time witht he epic 4g, on that device it couldnt really compare with the combination of volume+ and voodoo i had set up. but at this point im willing to try anything

for cars.. ( pre-amp into aux) you can build opa! amp.
fiio pocket amps are popular if you want buy and go option.
I was looking into voodoo sound also, but i think Epic touch uses diffrent sound chip than voodoo sound project.

I have no idea if you can find it but I have a Meier Corda Headsix Amp and it is a fantastic portable amp and a reasonable price 150ish new if i remember. I recommend it.

I looked up the amp you suggested it's not the type of amp that fits in my pocket (if I found the right one) the type of amp I'm looking for us like this one here http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004QVPGXK/ref=mp_s_a_9?qid=1334102729&sr=8-9
It gets good reviews on Amazon so I guess I'll take a chance n order it in a week or so. thanks anyway

Possible fix for JB/CM10/AOKP low volume issue?

My co worked who used to have an ET4G and now has a Galaxy Nexus stumbled upon this MOD. Knowing how must of us running any jb ROM have low headphones/aux issues I thought I could post this to try and help.
There is a tiny problem though.... I flashed this last night. I successfully booted my phone but once everything loaded my phone froze up and just powered cycled. I tryied flashing it with different gapps combinations and different jb ROMs. So with that said... do any of you devs or anyone that want to try to modify this MOD for our phones?? Maybe it will bring a solution this this bug?
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to try this and provide some input

Finally! A response lol no luck bro. It made my phone powercycle after 4 attempts to flash. I'm sure it can be made to work with our device. We just need the brains of a dev. Give it a try but make a nandroid first.

im really hoping this gets ported or something is done about the issue soon, because the jb roms are so awesome its impossible for me to go back to ics just for audio. though i do miss the days where i could use my headphones to their full potential. didnt spend 100 on them for nothing

Might be a kernel thing? Who knows.

Glad to know I wasn't the only one with the audio problem but from my short testing in my car it seemed to only be music related, I'm using double twist. When I got a text message the ringtone was alot louder than the music itself and the volume setting on that was only around half as loud. Things use to be the other way around on ICS. Like someone else posted hopefully there can be a fix soon because I'm loving JB.

I tried this mod on my Nexus 7 and I didnt notice a difference

Not sure why it didnt increase volume for you. Worked just fine for me.

Maybe if you flash this then reflash your kernel of choice. It's worth a shot....

The latest cm10 Nightlies fixed all of the sound problems
Sent from my E4GT by using THE FORCE

From what I can tell from my testing on the E4GT, your headphone and bluetooth volumes are tied to the speaker media volume originally. I haven't seen it in any other builds of CM10, but it seems fairly common in the E4gT's roms.

Where are the nightly builds posted? I don't see it on thier official site

This is not true ... Pandora and/or any other music related app still has the problem, even Youtube, however, everything else is topnoth in CM10. We all hope it gets fixed quickly. Im running CM10 9/24 nightly.

If its fixed in CM10 it will be fixed in all jb ROMs since they run basically the same base. Jb has made some great progress thanks to all the devs. Hopefully they work out this bug. I wanna jam! Lol

High pitch screeching sound when playing music?

So uh, I've been using the AOKP ROM for awhile now along with KTs kernel and everything has been running fine. That is until yesterday when I was on my way back to Toronto from a trip and suddenly in the middle of a song a loud, high pitch screech went off in my ears(Scared the crap out of me). At first I thought it was my headphones, but after unplugging em and hitting play, the screech was coming through the speaker as well. The odd thing is, it's only with certain songs that it does it. Was thinking of flashing a new ROM/kernel combo to see if that fixes it. Anyone else ever experience this/have another fix?

I've got my sgh-I747 running latest OTA from at&t rooted and using TWRP recovery. When I use the aux in on my car stereo in conjunction with my charger I get a horrible whine with cracking and popping. Read a couple posts where ppl said they were able to exchange their device for a new one that did not have the same problem so I may be going that route with mine. Keep me posted if you resolve your issues.

Try changing your voltages back to stock. Also change your min CPU to 384.
Reboot and it should be fixed. Either that or try a different kernel but I was experiancing this as well

I have owned MANY android phones and they all do this. Its a shame. As soon as the charger gets plugged in it causes interferance with the 3.5mm output. Motorola, Samsung,HTC. They all do it.
But it won't do it if you use Bluetooth lol

Well seems like I fixed it this morning. Just reflashed the latest AOKP available and switched over to Faux's kernel and the problem seems to be gone for the time being. If anything, try a diff kernel/ROM combo and see what if that fixes it.

How do you like the AOKP build. I'm new to android. I've been using jailbroken iOS for several years now. Android takes some getting used to but I'm really starting to dig it.
I noticed yesterday on the way home that the noise is only present when the device is both plugged into the charger and there is no audio broadcast. So in between songs or pauses in a radio app like tune-in radio. So not as bad as I thought but still kinda embarrassing. When you are showing how cool android is to your iOS friends

Sorry for the late response =3
Haha don't ya just hate that? Trying to show off your phone and all of a sudden it's screaming at you? Talk about a downer.
But AOKP I just love. It's what I've been using for almost 2 years on all my devices. The customization and performance is just amazing. Hands down my favorite ROM. Like, I've tried the stock based ones, Cyanogen and others, but they just don't fulfill my needs like AOKP does. Get the right kernel combo/setup going with it and you'll be satisfied for a good amount of time if not forever

I had this problem as well, switched off of ktoonsez kernel and it was gone. I strongly believe that his kernel, as amazing as it is, is the cause behind the noise.

Bringing this thread back to life. Got an AT&T Samsung GS3 running CM10 Stable (10.0.0) with the stock kernel and when I plug the phone into my car's AUX system, there is a loud very high pitched / high frequency whine that is continuous, but only happens when the phone goes into audio-out mode... if the phone isn't doing anything, there is no whine, but as soon as I press "play" on the music player or turn pandora on, the whine comes on and continues throughout music play.
I tried plugging in my headphones (Klipsch S2) and there is no high-pitched noise that I can hear.
Is there a fix yet? Anyone else running CM10 stable having this problem?
Thanks!!
