Has anyone noticed the increase in the sound output after JB update? I have seen a massive improvement and the music quality has also improved drastically. Bass is also impressive now. The headphones are now blasting with music... Please share your thoughts...
I have also noticed that the browser does not reload after reopening while multi tasking. These two are the best updates for me in JB...
So multi-tasking is for real this time.
How about music chopping with default player. Haven't read a solution about it before?
Am on the music player for past 2 hrs now, and haven't had any choppiness at all. Although this was an issue even I faced intermittently.
I was also experiencing choppiness in the default music player and Youtube before the update. Now I haven't experienced them so far..
The music player has just become so awesome!! HTC has managed to make gapless play onto to the new update,,which is something that music lovers love the most... :thumbup: And the beats audio equaliser has been redefined,,and music is more loud as well as sharp... I could hear even the smallest of music with my headphones on... Even it did some magic with the speaker.. even though it doesn't have a built in amplifier like the 8x,, it is giving more loudness than before.. HTC has given the best update till yet... :thumbup: Hoping for more..

absolutely true. i didn't notice a huge improvement concerning music qualitiy though.
loudness increased about an estimated 30%.
what players are you using?
it'S PowerAMP for me.
All sounds amazing thanks for info can't wait for update to reach me. I just wondered, can anyone confirm plz USB OTG is a reality?
Yup USB OTG working..i already try it

I'm using pro player and the stock music player. Maybe the headphones I have are making a difference in sound including the loudness... Glad to know that wifi direct is working...

Hello,
For those lucky ones with a galaxy nexus....i wanted to know, when in stock music player, I hear that changes in the equalizer can make huge differences in the volume of the speaker. It can make the speaker much louder as well....but i wanted to know, if I set it to user or custom, and turn up the equalizer to louder, will it apply to all audio?
Example, by default, equalizer is off, if i adjust it to on, and raise the bars, will my youtube app play videos on my "new equalizer settings" or was that just adjusted for stock music?
Can anyone do the test to see?
Many thanks in advance !
I think thee reviews stating speaker is low is by default settings, but can relaly improve through equalizer form what i hear.

Maybe I am missing something but my Music app doesn't have an equaliser option.
in stock music app.
the equalizer does make a difference. i have not test it with a headphones yet, but even with its onboard speaker, you are able to tell the difference.
i only see it on the stock music app at the moment. not available on youtube app.
this is a feature only exist on ICS, so for others running the new music app on any other roms, you will not get this feature. not even on honeycomb. (i have tested this).
Yes the music is louder in the rmusip app, but nothing else plays any louder I tested this because I think the ring volume is way to low

Wanted to see why everyone kept talking about this app. I tried it out and there isn't any difference in audio at all. I set the speakers and headphones to max and nothing changed. I read some of the app reviews and it works on some Nexus's and not on others. Anyone know why? Does it noticeably improve sound quality?
Are you using the free version? I couldn't tell a difference on there either
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I am using the paid version and from my experiences it does increase the volume noticeably, I use the setting at +10.
@OP are you using the one from the market or the one from the website which is much newer?
Works great here! Play a song and incrementally go through the volume levels till you find a sweet spot. FYI...running the HSPA version
Yes the free one from the Market is hardly noticble as it only increases up to +4.
The one from the website goes up to +15.
Trust me it really does make a difference.
With the brightness hack and the volume tweak i`m well happy with my Nexus
Oh and i have removed the annoying search bar too. Makes the screen look a lot bigger...
What is the website url?

Try going to settings then to sounds and then to music effects and select volume+ and see if that helps
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I bought the pro version of Volume+ and still was not satisfied with the results, so I contacted Samsung and they told me to do a hard reset. I did and it helped. It formats everything and you lose your data, but it is noticeably louder, though not as loud as I would like. Now I will reload Volume+ again and see what happens. Samsung is aware of bugs in the phone, but contacting them might help too.
Did anyone else have the issue with making music tracks Max out volume over the headset for the first 10 seconds even if you dont touch the headset volume?

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

So... I am sorry if this has been discussed, but I just found an equalizer in the native music player. Everyone keeps recommending volume+ to boost the sound or a third party equalizer to get better sound, but if you go into Play Music and turn a song on, you get the screen with the album art and whatnot. I noticed the three dots at the top of the screen, so I tapped it. A menu appeared with the following options: Sound Effects, Show Options, Make instant Mix, and Settings. So I tapped on Sound effects. And there it was! I tried doing a search on equalizers, but the only results that came up were posts that had "equal" in the posting. I am not rooted, and I am completely stock. Just a heads up if anyone is irritated with the sound. Also, bass boost and 3D effect only work if you have headphones or speakers plugged in.
I didn't know if it would be better to put this thread here or in apps and themes. So I chose here.
Now if I could only find a way that makes the sound effect for incoming notification NOT completely stop or pause the music for the duration of the notification, I would be so happy!!
Sick find, didn't know about this thanks.

Yeah I just discovered this too a few days ago. It works FANTASTIC. but too bad it only effects Google music and not the entire phone audio.
Dsp manager is better. And when installed takes the place of music fx.

Not there
Anyone have any idea why this would disappear or how to force it to be there? I have a One XL running the viper rom and beats audio isn't working (yes, I've plugged in headphones) which I don't really care about, I just want this equalizer. I'm assuming the presence of beats (which is useless since it's not working) is preventing the equalizer but I don't know enough about this to be sure.

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!

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:
