I've flashed both Ice Cold Sandwich and Jellytime. Love both the roms, but noticed the speaker sound (ringtone/notification) is not as loud as with the GB sense roms. The sound is also quite "tinny" sounding too.
I was not sure if this was typical of these roms because they were never officially release by HTC, issue with drivers, hardware etc?
Anyone else noticed this?
Thanks.
Yes official ROMs do tend to have a better sound thn the unofficial ones. U can use volume+ from the market, it will solve our problem.

I've noticed this as well, poor sound or metallic voice sound with the newer roms. Tried many and just decided to stick with a GB rom, afterall why have a phone that you can't talk on??
I don't find the voice sound a problem, it's the speaker sound (ringtones etc) that seems quiet and tinny sounding.
I just flashed the last stable CM7 on the phone and the sound quality/volume was just as poor. As CM7 is not based on a HTC gingerbread rom, it seems this problem is an issue with roms not based on HTC gingerbread/ics/jb releases.
Just watched something on Youtube and I noticed the difference, the volume was much quieter and tinny sounding compared to ARHD (based on HTC rom).
It's not a big deal, but the sound quality and volume is considerably poorer in customs roms, where as a rom that is based on HTC rom has much better sound quality and volume.

There is a flashable zip file for beats audio. search for it in the xda forum n check if it works for u as i couldnt make it work. If u concerned with low volume use volume+ but on cyanogenmod 7 use custom settings on the app otherwise u will hv a distorted sound

After flashing a few more roms, it seems the volume and overall sound quality is considerably better in Sense based roms. AOSP Jellybean and ICS roms, the sound is tinny and quieter.
I flashed two Sense 4.0 ICS roms and the sound quality and volume was just as good as ARHD Sense 3.0 and 3.5 roms. I flashed Ice Cold Sandwich and Jellytime, both had the tinny sound and lower volume.
Installing a volume+ app (or similar) seems pretty pointless, it just distorts the sound even more by upping the treble?
I wonder what Sense does to make the sound much better than a Sense-less phone?

Volume with sense based roms is good and volume+ works best for cm or aosp, aospx or others.but u can get better sound with volume+ on sense roms aswell.

HTC has announced "beats" technology in their new phones that supposedly offer better audio quality when plugging in Beats headphones.
Pretty much a publicity stunt.
I think it's hardware related... chance for desire HD... but i don't think we Vision can have Beats working
What's the difference between htc dezire and g2 I thought they were the same thing and what I was asking to your question is can we get htc beats on cyanogen mod . Basicly can it be converted to an apk like a normal application would and would it run on my g2 properly running cyanogen mod nightlies

Exactly what spastic said... you can get it for AOSP (CM7/MIUI) roms with volume+ app. But, as he said, its just an equalizer. It does make an inprovement, imo.

Desire HD is capable of play Dolby and SRS while Vision is not... ROM like Virtuous Unity can make Dolby working for Vision but SRS still not work. That makes me think of the differences in hardware between these 2 devices
I've used some previous Sense 3.5 ROM that has Beats but not working or force close on activation

It's probably useless, actually; I found something weeks ago demo'ing how the Beats software works on laptops. It actually completely kills your bass and treble when it's off and then makes things sound magically better when it's on, because you're comparing it to garbage. I would assume that's how the phone software works too. You'd be better off just using the DSPManager that's included with CM7 and setting the EQ how you like.
However, I know the laptops get a better audio processor, and I'm sure those one or two new phones have also has better audio processing hardware, which we obviously cannot duplicate.
its not possible on cyanogen, but it works on siulmagics sense 3.0 port. ill upload it tonight maybe. and YES SRS and DOLBY also work. beats makes a huge impact for me tbh.

Sir, can you suggest a great DSP manager settings for Headphones?

Yup! It's pretty easy to do. Open DSP Manager, enable Dynamic Range Compression (I recommend Moderate strength). Enable Bass boost, select the strength you think suits best. Enable equalizer, and the preset closest to beats is Rock, but as each set of headphones or earphones is different, you may wish to tweak the EQ manually too - it's simple enough. If sound is too bassy, reduce the first two points, if too much treble, the 4th and 5th points. You'll get used to the feel of it after a short while playing about.
There's no perfect EQ that suits every type of music or every set of headphones. The best thing to do is play around with it until you get a sound you really like. Presets are a good place to start, though.
Wasn't there a beats_allandroid.zip somewhere? A flashable beats library that boosts the sound quality a little? I remember flashing that onto my Milestone, which screwed the original motorola sound enhancers, but it worked perfectly with DSP manager on HTC Desire Z, and the audio was better. These were still just libraries, not an APP, DSP manager still worked better IMO. I don't know about beats headphones though, I got a higher mid-end AKG phones - plays great.
HELLO devs and noobs like me,this a mod which i extracted from the desires z forum,I extracted it because i wanted my fellow sense 3.0 user who want to feel beats audio.This addon adds BEATS AUDIO! AND SRS AND DOLBY AUDIO! Also, RCMix tweaks, which includes turning CRT on and off on the fly, WITHOUT THE ORANGE LED BUG!!! this also comes with a blue theme.

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
Out of curiosity, does anyone know why audio volume is so low on CM9 ROMS at least compared to stock and CM7 ROMS? Does anyone know of a way to increase them? I've tried Beats Audio, which definitely improves the quality of the sound, but not really the volume. I'm talking about the speaker by the way...headphone audio is fine.

Hey folks. So I recently installed a JB ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796340
Works greats, but the only problem that is I've lost the Beats Audio driver which came with Sense 4.0 and I'd quite like it back.
I tried this one here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motioncoding.beats&hl=en
which worked perfectly to begin with, but shortly after my system became completely unstable with apps constantly crashing, forcing me to wipe my phone and start over.
So does anyone know of a solution to this? Or am I just gonna have to wait a while for a stable release, given how new Jelly Bean is?
Thanks,
PS>If any of this sounds noobish, that would be because I actually am new to all this.

Beats Audio is prepared for Sense... And IceColdJelly is completely NonSense ROM. You have to make a decision:
1. Beats audio with any Sense ROM (Stock or Custom)
2. IceColdJelly without Beats Audio.
That's all....
If you want IceCOldJelly.... Just reflash the ROM. It will be OK, I guess.

Really? That sucks :crying: Other people seem to have had have luck on non-Sense phones, based on the reviews of the app I linked to. But in that case, I'll stick with Jelly Bean. HTC will be updating the One X eventually anyway...
Try this..it replaces lib files and installs custom dsp manager..its the nearest i can get to beats..i m running it on cm10 tho..

Since Beats audio really doesn't improve anything but the bass, cant you get the same result with an eq?
Power amp app is all you need.
Use this mod linked below (be sure to make a nandroid backup before you flash it). It has beats audio and a lot of other mods as well that you can select while installing the mod.

The sound with the latest version (14) is pretty good and offers beats audio from Rezound.
Use it with a player like DoubleTwist or PowerAmp which has it's own equalizer, and you can get great audio quality on your music.
Also, System wide sound equalizers and DSP manager doesn't seem to have any effect on the sound on AOSP based ROMs.
Beats audio is effectively dynamic EQ, little more. Unlike a static EQ, it's trying to EQ based on 'beats'. At a very crude level, it's boosting certain frequencies when they are needed... e.g Bass on a musical 'beat' / peak. It's a little more complex than that - it's signal processing similar to an 'exciter'.
You can get comparable results with a decent EQ app (I use PlayerPro) although EQ in this form is static and not dynamic, but Beats Audio 'just works' for almost all apps.
It's also branded and hyped to high heaven - to make it seem like some amazing feature.
Lets us not forgets, we've had HTC trying this with SRS and Dolby too...
One final thing to remember - making something sound 'better' doesn't mean it's making it more accurate! usually it's the opposite. Most users will be playing 128K mp3 files so it's hardly surprising they feel the sound lacks a little depth.
Thanks for the replies guys. I'll try the One eXtreme Sound Enhancer tomorrow and report back after a trial run.
And yeah, I am aware that Beats Audio is nothing more than a glorified dynamic EQ that's hyped marketed up the **** to appeal to people who have no idea about music production, and who think that Mr. Dre (he's not a doctor...) can magically dip his fingers into your MP3 and enhance the production values of the original master. Like trying to tickle somebody in a photograph...But it does the job very well so I'll forgive the hype.

If you can't have it with nonsense rom, you don't need to bash the product..as far as I'm concern, Beats Audio is very good..
I'm looking to go back to running a sense-less rom, unfortunately the poorer sound quality is always an issue and sends me back to Sense.
Running Ice Cold Sandwich on previous occasions, I have missed so many calls or messages as the sound is so quiet and tinny sounding. Running Sense gives a much better, clearer sounding ringtone, notification etc.
Anyone found a fix, app or some trick to improving the sound on a non-sense rom?
I have a DHD before someone mentions the Inspire fix.
Try the XLoud engine?

Never noticed those issues.
I think there are a few mods out there to enable SRS on your phone. I personally prefer SRS over Beats, but YMMV.
