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
if you want an awesome music app, try PowerAMP... impressive!! it detects when u insert headphones and auto resumes your last tune, even if the app was closed! Also flawless gapless play back!
Also peeps, your samsung supplied headphones have a button on the mic for pausing/answering your calls, but hold the button and it will skip track!! It can also be configured for double/triple presses for next/previous track!!
It works with DSP Manager alongside its own full featured EQ...
The best music app i've come across!

Yep, I think most of us who have tried PowerAMP are converts. I got the trial version several months ago, paid for the full app after about 7 minutes (once Master of Puppets had finished playing from memory). Best thing about the EQ is the preamp, which increases output to headphones a reasonable amount.
The has been the music application I've used since it was released and the purchased it once it came on the market.
yeah, you couldn't ask for more from a player really eh!! ive used it for a while now, but thought i'd throw it up as ive not really seen a mention of it but a few people complaining about lack of controls on the mic and incompatabilities with other/older ear phones with track skip etc...
nice solution!
Dickie
best music player there is : ) makes my shure earphones sound sexy. also love the widgets it has! had bought it on galaxy s a while back.
Does this use alot of battery? I just always notice it in the top 3 of my battery usage stats (the default one), even though I don't have it running (does it have some background processes running?)
PowerAMP and DSP manager run in tandem with each other is pure bliss to my ears. My headphones and car really appreciate it also :-D
Poweramp is great and doesnt use any/much battery when running. Added bonus is you can pay with paypal off there website.
Fully agreed, best player on the market!
Just downloaded this, superb!
just tried it and am impressed.
just need a video player which is good. anyone recommend one?

Thx man
i read your post yesterday and downloaded the player
today i bought it because it's the ****ing best music player i ever had on a phone
Agree with what has been said, PowerAMP is brilliant and the only player that recognised all of my album art and the id3 tags on all of my file types.
I got this back in my HTC Desire days. It is hands down the best music player Android has to offer and well worth the purchase. I wouldn't be surprised to see this snapped up and built into Android at some point!
really nice compared to the other music players around even with dsp manager.
Is it worth getting DSP manager if you already have this app?

Yes, Power Amp is absolutely great.
I've got much punchier bass and slightly louder volume in general now that I've installed DSP manager - it's a tiny download too, Rooster - go for it!
i did like PowerAmp, but it did figure high up on my power list. I'm in two minds whether to buy the full version.
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?

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.
Hello community.
I've recently installed the ICS MIUIv4_2.7.27]v.6.0[AROMA] [Android 4.0.4] ROM on my PLAY. I am loving it so far but there is one(and only)thing that bothers me, I tend to listen to music from the speakers but since I've updated the ROM the volume is very low and quality not the best as I used to have. No option for xLoud not any other loudness manager. Could anybody direct me somewehre I could get it to play music louder and better??
thanks
The play store has a bunch of apps that do.this
Personally, I use Equalizer, just mess with the EQ sliders until.you find something.that works.
