HTC desire sound quality

Hey guys, I don't know whether ur scared of the topic but no one has found ways to better the sound quality of the phone . Everyone is able to port stuff and create roms but never anything about sound improvement like porting dolby from other android mobile.

Nothing wrong with my Desire, I can make calls just fine thank you!!
I reckon people with issues with the volume are the ones that will suffer from deafness early in life as they probably crank up the volume on all devices

i didnt mean voice calls, i meant when playing music through the ear phones. before u say get better headphones, i got senheissers cx400s. the sound quality is rubbish at best. my n95 and n73 both played music better than the htc phone with the same headphones.

I got to agree on the sound quality issue. The music is just too flat on desire.
I am reconsidering galaxy s and iphone4 due to this...
Hopefully someone can port a better music player or fix the issue soon...

Surely its a hardware limitation.
Aside from putting a better dac in the device (probably impossible) what can be done about sound quality? I don't get how a better music player could help.

You can try with DSP Manager... included in some modded rom... like mine...

music is fine on mine (dsp manager + Sennheiser CX 400 II's)
it was rubbish compared to my ipod shuffle using the same headphones, before using dsp manager

I use mixzing player with equalizer with a custom preset for better quality.
What's dsp manager? How to use it?

yeah what is the dsp manager ive been hearing about

DSP manager is an equalizer built into the ROM. It can have seperate settings for phone speaker, bluetooth and headphones. I used to to take some of the tinniness out of phone speaker. It's in CM6, and probably a lot of other roms too.

Does anybody know if this could be flashed onto "OpenDesire 4.0.2"?
As I know OD is based on Cyanogen...
Thank you

hey guys, just wanted to know if the dsp manager is anything like the equalizers on mixzing or other music apps for android

Don't know if this can be flashed to OD, but OD is not based on Cyanogen, it is a build from Android source.

DSP manager is brilliant. The compressor pops a bit too much for my liking though.

It's not working for me...

hey guys just wanted to ask if the equalizer is better than the ones found on music apps on market place like mixzing, astro player, etc

Just to let you know...I've flashed it onto OpenDesire 4.04 and it works...
You need the DSP Manager apk, too.
I took the one from this Post: http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7999377&postcount=6
Thanks =)

Thru loud speaker, Desire wasn't really that good. But thru headsets with Mixzing, is quite good.

completely agree. speakers on the phone are horrible. i think im gonna invest in a new pair of earphones. hope i dont get any compatibility issues which bug other users

Best combination of apps for audio quality?

Hey all
I really want to sell my ipod touch because im not using it for much but music, id love to be able to listen to music on the SGS2 and enjoy it but its just not as loud as the ipod.
I have £400 westone headphones, i know theres winamp, poweramp and dsp manager but what would be the best combination and settings for loud volume and quality sound etc
Thanks

I use poweramp with dsp...give you a full range equalizer to tweak the sound and many customizable options

What sort of setting do you use?

[Q] Best music player

Using sense with beats plugin (srs enhancement and all that extra options)
Idk but with the roms that include beats plugin, i can't seem to get good quality on poweramp...even when beats is disabled..quality seems to be lowered somehow.
Can someone suggest me a good music player?

When I'm not using sense I use Google Play Music with MusicFX from the market

musicfx doesn't seem to appear in stock music player...maybe because of beats plugin already there.

If you're using ICS it should be in Settings > Sound > Sound > Sound Effects
It's not available for Sense 4, just use Google Play Music and press menu > Sound Effects whilst playing a song

Take a look at PlayerPro. It's a good player with iTunes sync.

Then you're not using the proper headphones...trust me i use in-ear original Beats headphones & Sony MDR EX57 Premium with Beats Audio ROM (stock music player) and i must say it sounds very good
I used Winamp Pro with some eq presets (what can i say...quite nice) and Player Pro with more bass and increased volume (that was a bit irritating for the ear, but at least it was louder)...after that i flashed a custom ROM with Beats plugin...uninstalled the above mentioned apps
My advice is for you try Winamp and Player Pro or try some other headphones

These earphones are worth ~ 80 bucks so i guess they're not that bad but i'll give winamp pro a try...
Just a question from people using sense rom with beats plugin...do you guys get a difference in sound quality when not on a rom with beats plugin because i found out that beats plugin ruin other audio players (though the plugin is disabled in other music players)...

one word POWERAMP

:-D
I use the n7 player from the markede its running smooth

i really like the look of zplayer. its in the metro style from windows phones, and its super slick!
or you should try the cm9 music app

I use Poweramp, the effects selection is the best I've found from any music player. Although it may not look the best, in my opinion it offers the best sound quality and customisation.

Mega Bass Beats MOD

I head that mega bass beats are better then beats audio.

install it on your HOV and tell us how does it feel ??

I LOVE THIS. The only problem is that it sometimes doesn't work but I figured out how to make it work.
I am on stock rom on my GS3 (Verizon, 4.1.1)
Force close 'Downloads' and open up any other media player that you don't use, for example: I use Samsung Media Player all the time since it has a built in EQ and I use Google's Player to first start it. Then I pick a music pause it and go to my default (used) app for playing music and BOOM, it works flawless. The only problem is when playing music it turns off and turns on, almost a fade, but it works. Maybe about 5 songs and it stops working.

V4A is better alongside poweramp bass boost which produces tight kicking and rumbling bass. Much better than any other music processer

[Q for jellybean users] What rom will be best for me?

Hey guys!
I am looking for a rom based on 4.1.2 .
Important thing what rom must have :
- the best able quality for xperia play - i am someone like audiophile
I do not demand high performance (because its jellybean) but will be good when i can play games like deathworm,guerillabob,minecraft and pokemon's at MyBoy emulator without lags.
Also rom shouldn't have too many bugs for normal phone using.
For now i have tryed Play Zcm 4.1.2 but this rom lagging for no reason. I mean the UI sometimes lagging and shortcut sometimes dont works.
What rom should i try for now? Also is there any "audiophile" here? If yes,what music player are you using?

I don't think I am an audiophile, but I like listening to music and my favorite player is Poweramp. It really has tons of options... check it out

Try racing xplay ROM. The op explains in title how to make music sound good and its also fast and smooth

did you try cm10?
but why JB? any feature or software that requires it?
btw: using apollo
the hardware restricts the quality here. if the file is not lossless, the headphones can't handle every tone and the phone itself is badly shielded you can't do anything about it. equalizer and software enhancements are not a true enhancement in terms of quality.

I liked Pac man Rom I'm on slim bean now

Well i think from JB we can do better audio quality like from others version (or im wrong?)
I am using only flac's (losless) audio files and superlux HD668B headphones -- not the best,but sound quality is really cool.
For now i am trying Xperia play Ultimate HD 1.0 and sound quality is just,ahh. AMAZING! Like a the best i had hear! I think for now i will stay at this rom.
Also i tryed the apollo player but sound quality was normal. Not very good,not bad. Just good.
