CM9 DSPManager not working

Hey all as the title suggests I'm on cm9 7/9 nightly. I've been playing with DSPManager for a while now (on other builds as well) and have yet to come up with any positive results. None of the settings in DSPManager have any effect at all. Is there some sort of prerequisite to using it? Any help at all is appreciated.

You aren't alone, because I too can't get DSP Manager to work. However, I can't get ANY apps that adjust the DSP settings to work on CM9. I personally have used AudioFX for quite some time on Gingerbread on my Galaxy S II LTE (called the Skyrocket on AT&T) and it worked fine on the OFFICIAL release of ICS from Rogers. However, it doesn't work on CM9. So the problem doesn't appear to be DSP Manager itself, but rather something in CM9.

How about the lack of kernel support at this time More than one thread on this, I read on yesterday. Though last time anyone really wasted their breath on the issue was around Alpha 3.

Figured it had something to do with cm9. The kernel not being supported makes sense. Should be rectified in the next couple days.

Tried it. Doesn't activate dsp manager. And what it does do I can replicate better with PowerAMP. And it doesn't affect in-call volume at all, which is what I was going for.
I just got volume+ from the developers website (full version for free) and it mostly works. There's a few ics bugs that they have to work out, but it does bump up the volume so I'm happy.

Has anyone else CONFIRMED that 3rd-party DSP apps (I gave the example of AudioFX, but you can try others) don't work on CM9 on the Skyrocket? So far I've not heard from anyone else providing collaboration of my observations. If you have an i727 or i727r running CM9 (or any other phone for that matter, seeing as this isn't even a Skyrocket thread), could you please install a 3rd-party DSP app and let me know if it works on your phone. Thanks in advance.

As said in my previous post, volume+ works mostly on cm9. It has a few glitches here and there, but it does increase the volume. I haven't had a chance to fully test it so I don't know what all is or isn't working.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

I believe the volume increase provided by Volume+ has nothing to do with the DSP chip. You need to test this on equalization, bass boost, etc. These are features provided by that chip.

Tested. EQ and volume control work for the speaker. Bass boost and echo/delay don't have any effect. Nothing works for bluetooth or headset. Oh, you can also change how many steps in the in-call volume. No volume boost though. For all this it would be better and easier just to use Poweramp. It works better.

The problem is I need equalization for all of my audio applications. This means that I need an equalizer that works generically rather than one that is built into a specific app. Virtually all of my music is played from Slacker Radio or TuneIn Radio, neither of which have built-in equalization.

Found a DSP fix for Motorola ATRIX 4G...
I play music via Bluetooth into car audio system and loved DSP in CM7.....I replaced joersaxx 1.3 faux kernel to stock 1.0....I found this link
and it worked like a charm!!! The first thing I noticed was it worked like in CM7 when the first menu was selection of output rather than straight to menu....I am going to try flashing a 1.3 kernel to see if it still works....
Thank you Yasir Idrees! I tried to post link....but I'm a noob!!! Go in to setting in /system/apps and set as per thumbnail.

Real Sound Improvement Superloud Volume

If you want to have louder volume Flash this zip. It was developed by Meltus SG3 Developer but it works on our phone. You can flash the zip or open the zip and place default.gain file to system/etc. and reboot afterwards to hear the difference it really works great with headphones. If you want to change the volume find 'AIF1 Boost volume' and change value from anything 1 to 63. You can edit the files yourself to the volume you want it to be but anything over 63 might break the sound so don't push it. I have mine on set to 60 with PowerAmp it's superloud and I love it LOUD!!!! More info go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722136&page=1

Did everything you said and working great. Got it set at 60 also and loving it. Thanks

Does it matter which recovery you use? I use TWRP and it keeps giving me the flash failed error message. This is actually the first file I have tried flashing since I switched from CWM to TWRP. I can just place it in the system folder no problem. Just curious if this is a know issue with TWRP.

So I edited all the AIF1 Boost volumes to 55... it didn't seem to make a difference. Is 55 too low.? I sent it to the pc and edited it in text pad.. Then emailed it back to myself. Then I used root explorer to put it in system /etc.

I did this also. No change, I am using Darkside TW based rom. I wonder if that matters. This doesn't really seem to do anything. My wife has the exact phone as me so I have a reference point to compare. There is no difference between her phone volume and mine.

The Zip file has a problem, it doesn't want to install and I downloaded 2 times already. Please fix it and re upload it.

I noticed in the file there are some lines that indicate you could adjust the in call volume. If you also adjust this to 60 would that work? Is this mod designed to accomplisht that?

Ok has anyone got this to work?i compared the default zip to the 63 zip and i don't see any difference and the file you said to change is still at 0....i don't get it and also the 63 zip had other files in Chinese what do they do?

Actually, I flashed this and there is NO difference in volume sound what-so-ever.
And ACTUALLY, I never found any sound "tweaks" that really worked, except
the app. Volume+ version 1.7.1. (Please remember the Version, as any version higher than that will NOT work).
So, if you REALLY want loud, LOUD sound, try Volume+ V1.7.1!!!!
And for the OP, please take the Volume+ v.1.7.1.apk and see why it is the only
one that REALLY makes a difference in volume LOUDNESS...
It seems that nobody can reproduce that performance yet....(Are you man enough for that challenge??)

[Q] In Call Volume low

Is anybody else noticing a drop in in-call volume since the 4.1.2 update? I have DSP manager installed on my OG from before the update and still call volume is ridiculously low. Any suggestions? Maybe uninstall and reinstall DSP manager first?

I've noticed the same thing and I've found no way to make it louder.

I took DSP Manager off my phone and went back to the stock sound setup. I'll let you know if it worked to cure the call volume problem. May be something we have to report to LG.

I'm experiencing the same thing. More times than not I am unable to hear the caller on the other end well enough to hold a conversation.

So I took DSP manager off and no dice. I'm wondering if I might HAVE to root it and put on a new ROM and maybe put Awesome Beats on the phone in order to get the results I want.

I think this is something that can be modified with the kernel. I remember on the galaxy nexus there were a few Franco nightlies he was testing that had in call volume issues. Some were too low some were crackely. If he was able to modify something within his kernel to effect call volume then I'm sure it can be tweaked to a higher volume.

[APP] Beats Audio Installer v2.3.1

Hey all. My N3 is sitting at UPS for a Monday delivery. Cant freaking wait.
I have this.apk on my rooted VZW Galaxy Nexus, and it works perfectly.
This app enables a Beats Audio-like profile when your headphones are inserted.
Would someone like to try and install on their stock rooted N3 and post back results?
I didn't make or develop this app. Have had it for a while but no clue where I got it from (somewhere here on XDA).

This app installs the beats 'drivers' or some other type of audio driver. On my Galaxy Nexus (also Samsung) this absolutely worked.
It activates when you put the headphones in.
Maybe its just a generic ultra bass driver that it installs. But whatever it does, it just works.
Noticible difference in crisp deep lows with this installed versus uninstalled

So this app isn't yours, you have no idea what it does, and if it's like you say and it installs "drivers" then it's installing proprietary HTC drivers on a Samsung phone. Yeah - all of those add up to a bad idea.
Plus Beats is a kernel implementation which Samsung legally itself can't use - so yeah - any "improvement" is going to be negligible if any at all - falling into placebo category.

Basically, beats has 2 parts; hardware and a software EQ. Beats hardware is basically when the manufacturer uses higher quality components and places them on a separate PCB to keep interference (crosstalk) down. The second, the software part of beats makes the default audio profile "duller" by lowering some frequencies. Then they tweak the second "beats" EQ profile with slightly "crisper" sound by basically adjusting the mids and highs upwards a bit. This results in more of a difference when switching back and forth between the beats on and off settings. You can pretty much achieve the same effect by messing with the built in EQ if there is no actual beats hardware.

The beats audio has been modded to work with non HTC crap phones for ever. Thank you for sharing.
NOTE 3

Just trying to lend a hand.
Have been reading that people are having issues with headphones mucking up the audio in some way.
If nothing else maybe this could help fix.
Even with the EQ settings on Google music I could never get my nexus to sound as good as with these drivers.

Maybe you shouldn't call it a driver but an audio profile. I think that would put people at ease. Some people might be on edge since development is slow right now and we got off to a rocky start with the whole brickloop drama.

Good tip. Edited OP.
what do you think its actually doing with an install size of 1.6mb?

I looked into it on my Note 2 and when I tore down the apk, it basically revealed a bunch of audio settings. Some were EQ settings, some were profiles for headphones, phone speaker etc. There are no drivers since we don't have any applicable hardware on these phones.

Doesn't work for me, just breaks third party audio apps that use the audio settings feature. The stock Samsung app has its own EQ. I suspect it's trying to do the same thing DSP Manager does on CM ROMs but all it did on mine was crash things. There's no uninstaller either which sucks, so backup or Odin if you want to remove it.

Check in system/bin with root explorer, and delete the two "beats files" and reboot and u should be fine.

Whenever I've used beats apk it never worked with the stock music player nor video nor YouTube...however with third party music apps it replaced the native eq and in my opinion it worked very well. Beats+nexmusic or beats+Apollo was a nice combo. Just my 2¢

Quiet volume on Cyanogenmod 11

Hey guys, does anyone know how to solve the quiet in call volume in cyanogenmod 11?
Really loving the rom, but this is my old bugbare with it.
Thank you.

Flash a custom kernel like agni and use boeffla or wolfson. In it increase the speaker amplification to increase the volume

You can also try viper 4 Android and in that use Dolby pro irs file
