Sound distortion - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone else has this issue, I'm running CM10 and the music quality isn't too bad while running the headphone jack to speakers, ie my car, home. But when I plug my headphones and and try to play with DSP at all it always sounds distorted and sound like the headphones are blown, this only happens after I enable something with DSP, the headphones are fine. I also tested on my zune and my roommates Droid X2, both of which sound much better than my phone.
Any suggestions or solutions would be great, the headphones are sennheiser HD558's

DSP distorts the sound, no way around it. Try poweramp music player, it uses it's own equalizers and settings and has great sound.

At first I only used it because Apollo wouldn't play certain file types that I had, loved it ever since.

I've been using power amp for two years and love it

OK I've been testing it and its great in the EQ setting the limiter is what makes the difference, it stopped music from peaking. Thanks guys

[Q] dsp manager vs. sony xloud

Which one is better and why?
Or will both benefit in unique ways?
Power amp. Give it a shot. Best player sound i have found.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
when I had my vibrant I was using poweramp.
Now, with the S2, I removed the stock music player.
And use ubermusic player combined with the equalizer app.
Personally I have no interest in XLoud or Beats.
DSP Manager is perfect, light weight, and easily surpasses the two in functionality. It just needs to be configured right.
Numerous threads state that these two are a placebo / more of a gimmick. From personal use I have to agree. A waste of resources.
BRAVIA engine however is quite a different story
I like player pro, it's pure and no changes to the sound.

Thanks. But I was more concerned with speaker volume and speaker quality and not equalizer stuff or headphone quality. I heard xloud tries to prevent the speakers from sounding tinny but rather more fuller and louder. DSP achieve the same and more is what you are saying?
Does BRAVIA engine makes the video quality look better or the video to perform better (less choppiness or shutter)?
Power amp has it's own dsp

Best Equalizer App w/BeatsByDre?

I've had my Detox edition Pros for a while now but I'm constantly trying different equalizer apps
(currently using the stock one from CM10 Google Music)
I was just wondering if you guys use an equalizer , which one do you use and state which type of headphones you are using

I'm using Equalizer with Skullcandy Hesh headphones, the boost in audio is very noticible and it offers presets along with effects like bass booster and virtualizer.

The Google music app! Its new jb notification player is pretty cool. The ui is simple and efficient. The only complaint I have is that awful blue background. I wish I knew how to modify the app to not have that ugly blue.

I used power amp on my Desire, and on my Gtab.I agree, for Rock, Metal, and frankly classical it is much better.
Beats works great for pop, dance, rap etc (anything with bass), and really it isn't bad for rock and metal (poweramp is better). Because I am stock, I just use the stock player, I like the integration with car mode, tune in etc (I have the pro version, yes paid for).
So, if you ditch sense.....buy poweramp, if your stock, really the HTC player is pretty good.
All IMHO, I have tried others but I prefer HTC's player over google music or apollo

Does anyone have trouble with the headphone jack being hypersensitive?

Literally the most annoying thing in the world - whenever I put my phone in my pocket, it'll usually unplug for a second, pause my music, change the media volume, then replay my music. This happens with all of my headphones, with my AUX cable, even with the headset blocker app.
Basixally the headphone jack is extremely sensitive. Is this just me? Is my phone defective?

Sounds like a hardware defect, grounds for replacement.

Do you have any kind of sound manager such as DSP manager/Beats/VooDoo?
Been happening to me too im thinking its because I have walkman app and regular samsung music player. If you have 2 music players try deleting one and see if that helps. Im on jedi rom btw.

Nope, but I'm using the PowerAmp EQ if that counts for anything.

Quiet speaker volume

The volume from the speakers is pretty quiet. I have to turn the volume up to 100 just to hear dialog. Some reviews I have read mentioned the speakers were plenty loud, however that is not what I am experiencing. It happens with music and video. Any one else having this issue?
I have tried speaker booster from the play store and it helps a little.
Return it. I have zero problems with my speakers. They are very loud. When playing games I only have the volume up about 2 clicks from off.

You've tried different apps for video? Or games? Everything is quiet? Mine is quite loud unless the video itself is quite quiet.

What vidoes or music did you play? It is mostly loud for me. Some youtube is louder then streaming from a tv app. Voices in the streaming apps are quiet.
Loudness is relative. I think its plenty loud. However I think all mobile devices suck, clip and distort at relative low volumes.... so...
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app
I'm experiencing a similar situation with both games and videos. With the volume midway I can barely hear a thing with my ear pressed to the speaker. Using headphones I still have it set to full and find it lacking. One of the main reasons I bought the tablet was screen resolution and supposed sound quality...my kindle HD makes this sound like a joke. With the other comments here I'm wondering if I do in fact have a malfunctioning unit. Just five minutes ago I had my first random reboot too...

I returned my nexus and the new one is much louder. It was definitely a problem with the speakers.
is there a loudness BEATS audio or any mods apk file that improves the sound? i find it too low
Really? Looks like I'll be doing that today.

I too definitely find the speakers to be lacking. Videos on YouTube are very low and music is not anywhere near what I thought it would be! They made a big deal about the Fraunhofer audio but I am pretty disappointed.

I agree that the audio is quite low especially when compared to my S4. BUT the sound quality is better. I guess its give and take.

How can you tell the sound quality is better if you can't even hear it???
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
Many apps, videos and music files are quiet on mine too. It's the file not the tablet. For a song I just download from somewhere else. For apps you can edit the apk or just live with it. not much you can do unless you are quite familiar with computers.
