[Q] Beats audio and music players - HTC One X

Does any one know what music players take advantage of the built in beats audio.. I was using power amp since I got the phone. and just by mistake I used the standard Music app and the sound was amazing... on further testing turning beats audio on / off makes no difference to the sound on power amp playback
What music apps are you using and does the beats audio work?

you have to turn beats on from within power amp. Click on Vol/Bal and there is an option above SRS to enable beats.

Thanks so much..... would never have found that setting....
You have made my day

No Problem,
I'd say poweramp is the best. Been using it on my sensation and now One X. Best audio player just because of all the settings you can tweak

It seems that in the Lee Droid ROM that option is missing in power amp
Can anyone confirm what ROMs this works on
Thanks in advance

It's missing for me too on ARHD

Thanks... I was just about to flash that ROM to check

It seems to be a power amp issue.... as the option is missing

on stock 1.28, just when I was gonna test if beats makes any difference, the button isnt there

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...

Just want to hear for myself what it's like, that's all. I've heard multiple people say that DSPmanager is way better.
Most workload speaker quickly fails will wheeze.

With earphones DPS Manager seems better, but I find Beats to be better when using my phone via aux to listen to music in my car.

thats because youve tweeked the sound to compliment your headphones where as beats is more generic.
just read what you said... an app doesnt care what you are plugging into it so the reason you are hearing a difference is because of your hardware and nothing to do with beats
you could configure dsp manager to sound better in your car however i no longer use dsp as the eq and preamp in poweramp is far superior
you could create an eq profile for your headphones and an eq profile for your car and then you dont have to turn anything off , just switch profile
poweramp is awesome, yes it costs money but its utterly worth it if you are a fan of good sounding music (the sound reproduction is the best ive heard on my desire with sennheisers )
beats lowers midrange on eq and hightens bass and treble, exactly like megabass. its no magic trick

Whatsapp with Beats Audio

If you checked Conversation Sounds and plug in your headset while using Whatsapp, Beats Audio will be activated each time there is new msg in your conversation (while you in the conversation window)...
It doesn't hurt but it is not necessary
Yes. The beats audio symbol pops up in notifications bit only with headphones plugged in.notification sound is still the same.
Annoying but so was losing 4 out of 6 beats profiles.

I'm still hoping they will be reintroduced in a further update. I'm going with the newer code wad causing the skipping in music so they reverted back to the older one until they can fix it.
A guy can dream right? Tbf urbeats profile sounds nearly ad good as pros profile on my beats pros. Still would prefer to have pro back!!

Forget beats. It's gone from good to bad to useless.
Download poweramp and its 100x better than beats ever was.

LOL! Beats Pro and Beats Studio profiles was really great when i plugged my phone into my car's sound system. Poweramp just destroys everything and makes it sound like every bit of soundwave is distorted to the maximum (according to my opinion)
And one more thing: It's a bit hard to play Spotify through Poweramp Since i use Spotify or Grooveshark for all my music

Volume rise trick on stock!

Heya all,donno if this has been posted or not, but i found nifty trick to raise volume when listening to music on stock 4.1.1. (Headphone volume)
1. Plug in your headphones
2. Play a song on stock music player
3. Raise volume to max
4. Go to stock camera app and take a pic EDIT: You can also just "tap to focus", no need to take pic!
5. Your volume is raised!
I quess its something to do on how beats audio works and limits volume.
Let me know if it worked on your stock x,cheets

Yeah it's actually a bug... And a reboot definitely makes it go back to normal..i found that the volume rise causes some distortion so i dont like it much
The volume will rise everytime some notification or sound conflicts with music..

HTC One has build in amplifiers which amplifies the sound, that's why beats audio works on the speakers on the One!
In the case of our beloved HOX, the speakers would just crackle and distort... :silly:

It's only louder! Clarity is messed up! :laugh:
There's a limit to the HOX speaker, you can use all the sound mods out there, but in the end you can't improve the hardware with sense5 or anything other software update!
Lets hope we get the Sense 5 within next month!

this has nothing to do with internal speaker-i used this only for headphones.
P.S. I edited my post up, seems like touch to focus does the same effect

I was always wondering if someone else never found this little "glitch", i have been using it since last year and i find the sound on the HOX to be "unstable", as it is never the same loudness/bass, sometimes it gives more sometimes less, sometimes it is very good and sometimes crappy, but this helps everytime i use it is for my headphones and it works like a charm. :good:

Audio Equalizer's?

Anybody running an aftermarket eq or dsp pack? Looking to improve the audio. Tried a beats apk and it would only work intermittently, switched to player pro with the dsp plugin and audio is a little better. On my one x plus i had the viper rom with beats audio and it sounded great and had a bunch of different headphone profiles built in. Id like to get something like that again. Anybody found something that works. I am rooted on the at&t model if you need to kno.

Improve Audio?
I think Poweramp still the king
With tuning at Equalizer and Tone
audio quality sucks on every Qualcom chipsets... that makes me to come back to my iphone
I just downloaded Equalizer from Smart Android Apps last night. BIG improvement to the sound quality, and the "Unlocked" version is only two bucks.
