DSP Manager for ICS Not Working

Has anyone gotten DSP to work on ICS roms? I'm flashing the CM9 DSP Manager, and it installs fine.
Opening the application up I'm able to select presets, turn on bass boost, etc, but the sounds effects to not activate (no change in sound). They say they're enabled, but they're not.
I've tried on ROMChicago, Darkside, BulletROM. I've tried on a handful of music players to verify they were not overriding the settings.
Please don't refer me to PlayerPro or a different app to improve my sound-- I've purchased them all and tried them all, to my ears, there's no better sound than with DSP Manager setup properly.
Thanks,
TL

Works find here with beats audio mod. Only works with stock music player.

AOKP with beats mod for the SG2 and with working DSP from CM9. I searched and found them all. I use Power amp though. I wanted to see if I can make it work, and it does

So you can turn on a song, then open the DSP Manager UI, enable and disable bass boost, and noticeably hear the difference immediately?

DSP manager dynamic range
Hi,
I installed Darkside Evolution3 v7 ROM and I noticed that dynamic range really gives good results.:good:
When I turn it ON it works fine for a second or two and then the sound gets really messy.
When the volume is changed works again and in a second it switches back to a messy sound.
To listen I have to keep pressing volume buttons up and down.
have ay idea about this?
cheers.

This may sound dumb, but did you try adjusting the effects strength. I thought dsp wasn't working for me either, then I realize that it was set on slight. After I moved it to extreme the sounds are way louder.

Ya Ive tried that. when I turn it to the extreme the effect is different but the same revert issue comes within 1 second ov volume change.
But if I go up use max volume (15) it stays that way but the bass is too draggy.

I was just browsing through and found you're post. It's funny because I am having the very same issue with the Darkside Evolution3 v8 ROM. You did a wonderful job explaining the problem I was trying to put it in words but that's exactly what its doing. Turn the volume up it sounds great and then a second later you can hardly hear it. Some things I noticed, it only seems to happen with an audio jack headphones plugged in. I dont notice it with my car blue tooth. Also have you noticed a difference if you just turn off DSP mgr? I forced closed it and it was fine but as soon as I started that process again it had the same effect. It's quite annoying.

I tried force closing it and then the sound effect is totally gone and it sounds like stock player. The issue is only with the dynamic range filter.
if its turned off the issue doesn't come up. I was hoping to upgrade to v8 due to this issue and it seems that there is no luck in that as well.

Hey,
Found a solution to the dreadful issue. Install tasker and add a action which changes media volume
continuously one up and down will not effect your listening experience but will keep the effects alive.
hook the tasks up with a profile and you can make it automatic when the headset is plugged in.

I waisted whole day trying different versions of dspmanager.
Most of the files floating around just repackaged versions sometimes wrongly of basically 4 different builds.
I got 2 different packages... one is working fine with Pandora and everything else but GoogleMusic, the second is working with GM but not with Pandora... rest of the versions give either bad distorted sound or do not work at all.
I am on stock ICS. Which dsp you want?

Im on Dark side evolution v8 stock DSP manager. Beats mods are just the same as the DSP manager.

XSInfinitySound works.

So tried flashing XSInfinitySound and it works. The Aroma installer version does not work but the zip for NXT devices does. Makes quite a difference. Not my work so here is the link to the original post. XSInfinitySound

Not getting any of the bugs reported?

I have not experienced any bugs what so ever. Also looks like he will have a new update this week. I just wiped cache and dalvik then flashed and rebooted. Does make a difference and removes the flatness of the sound. Walkman still works fine, stock eq works fine, Pandora, and G music.
The stock EQ will not work with Pandora but just flashing this makes Pandora just about perfect. It does work for G music and if you hit menu while in the app it has a listing for it. For a little extra controle I use Music Volume EQ from the market. Mostly use it for when I am in the car and to help balance things out to my liking.
Edit: I normally use Audio FX but I can not get it to work on this device. Would be awesome if someone on GB could try Audio FX and see if it works or not. I use the app on my Play with the XS mod I posted and its great. Just put it on a HTC Incredible also with no issues and its running ICS. Going to try and contact the app creator and see if they can fix it.

I been using Pandora only for a while now lol. Mainly because I use it through bluetooth in my car and the smart thing on the phone turns it on when car turns on. I'm not sure if maybe bluetooth doesn't sound as good but I mean to me still sounds as amazing as ever. It is a bit stronger I would say. I haven't tested with other things yet though. My car is also aging now lol. an 03 eclipse but it came with the premium infinity speakers. Sounds amazing on pandora with high quality checked. I'll find someone with decent headphones and try this out.
quick question. when in my car should I have it on headset or speaker mode in the dolby app? I ask because it connects via blueooth like a headset but I'm listening through speakers. I tried both and didn't notice much difference.

I just leave it on headset. Like you said there is not much of a difference between the two. This mod does seem to add that extra oomph to the music. The only thing I have noticed so far is the bass is a bit over driven when Pandora is playing. Think its more the recording quality though as its not noticeable with G music and the Walkman.

araoma does work just have to go into options

Nice. I was reading last night and saw that you had to go to options to get it working. May have to try it out but after reading on the original post it seems I will have to go back to an older nand.

[BUG] Samsung stock music player

Hello, anyone have this problem? Im using stock dll7 firmware and stock music player equalizer sometimes resets to default. Furthermore, randomly music hangs for second or less.

I don't think thats a bug. The equalizer will reset to normal if u detach the earphones, as it works only with earphones (i.e with 3.5mm audio jack).
About skipping/ stuttering music, i've not had this problem except when playing via bluetooth.

Yes, it should if each time you use the audio jack (or bluetooth?) for listening to music (i.e attach headphones & then run the music player). But if you set an equalizer (say rock), then detach headphones & play music via phone inbuilt speakers, then equalizer resets itself to normal. Also, if u set it to rock even without headphones and then end the app, it would reset to normal when played again. I've noticed this on all stock samsung roms so far (currently on latest 4.1.2 India XXDLL4).

Oh ok. That really seems buggy music player for you! Anyway, try clearing data/ cache of music player & musicFX app using application manager followed by a reboot. Ignore, if you already did that.

[Q] Please Help me guys!!

Hi!, I had a serious nerve racking problem with Samsung Galaxy W since I flashed it with another official stock ROM in which I got much more languages including the french one. But the problem is that when the earphone is plugged in to listen to my music, it starts switching the soundtrack I am playing to another one that I wasn't playing, it even stops playing :'( . And it's the same **** everytime I want to play my music from the default music player or the one installed like Poweramp. So please help me to fix this!. Even when I wanna listen to my FM radio it shuts down by itself and I could hear some weird beeps from my earphone. The Autostarts apps won't solve at all my problem! :'(

I am not sure about the default music player, but poweramp has a feature like the one you described. When you plug in the headphone, it resumes playing. (An autostart musicplayer feature). Check the settings under poweramp player and hopefully you will see that option somewhere. I am not using poweramp so I can't tell you where exactly that option would be.
The other issues you desribe, I don't know. It may have something to do with the conflict between poweramp and FM radio... Maybe. I am not sure. See what happens when you disable the option I described above.

The stock rom don't have a FM radio app, so use Spirit FM, search the apk and download it.
And this problem happens with me too, but only sometimes. When I'm using a Bluetooth headset, no problems, but when I use a normal earphone, some lags occur.

Okay thanks for your help but now the problem is solved after disabling the "media button pressed" event's from the pre installed music player and many other apps running on your Android's system. It requires root access to be allowed "Autostarts.apk". Anybody else having the issue could use this app to fix it!

[Q] Bluetooth Streaming Audio Issues?

I'm having issues with distortion/cracking/popping with my One in the car. When I'm streaming audio through Google Music or Pandora, there is noticeable distortion whether Beats is on or off.
I previously had an S3 and that worked fine. This morning I paired my work iPhone to the car and was able to play from the on device music without any distortion. Next up I'm going to try an aux cable to see if it's a Bluetooth or phone issue, but I wanted to see if anyone else had a similar experience.

I noticed major hissing with the beats EQ on. Turned it off and I don't hear it anymore.

Hmm, interesting. I'm assuming you're on the stock ROM?
Also, you said you still get the distortion even with Beats disabled, so do you think it's still Beats related?

Using Google Play Music in a 2013 Camaro and I've got no audio issues.

I just purchased the phone, but slacker worker flawlessly. Have not had a chance to try Pandora or other music apps yet.

Rush hour traffic this morning allowed me to do some additional testing. I found that Play Music is distorted with/without Beats and also regardless of how loud I have the Bluetooth output volume set. I don't have any full songs on the phone, so I opened the generic Music app and played back some of my ringtones. None of them were distorted coming over the radio, so I'm further puzzled about why Play Music would have such an issue.
I'm going to try Pandora on the way home to see if that is affected as well.

Another update: Pandora works great. Play Music is toying with me...

just got the phone less then 24 hour's and i had it crackle when i had it playing in my civc! it didn't do that yesterday, but today i noticed when i played deadmau5. maybe i had to turn it down one or two notches. maybe volume has something to do with it!

I've tried it as low as 50% on the volume bar. I'm thinking that the interference has to be with Play Music, Beats, and my car's amp. Or some combination of the two since my S3 did not have the issue, and my work iPhone plays just fine.

It's a [decent] stock system, so I'll have to check around for that info.

So now that I finally managed to phrase it correctly, there are a lot of other people reporting the same issue, and it appears to affect Sense ROMs due to the factory settings for the Bluetooth stack. AOSP does not seem to be affected.
https://www.google.com/search?num=20&q=htc+one+bluetooth+audio+distortion

I just got my HTC One from Verizon yesterday and noticed a horrible sound quality when streaming music through Bluetooth. I'm streaming to LG CM4530 stereo system. The distortion is just unbearable during high pitches. The problem persists regardless the volume in both the phone and stereo, the app used (tried Pandora and Play Music), turning Beats Audio off or even cancelling the EQ on the stereo system. I'm convinced that it's not the app because I just replaced my old and slow Droid 2 Global loaded with 2.3.4 Gingerbread and never had any problems with A2DP sound distortion. (Yes, ironic.)
Many point that the problem is on the stock HTC ROM, but I haven't hear of any fix so far. Any suggestion?

Sorry to revive an old thread, but have other users with the sound-over-bluetooth distortion issue found any way of solving it other than flashing an AOSP ROM?
