All Devs I beg and plead with you to either have a Non-BEATS audio version of your ROMS or to have it as an optional add-on. I ask this because BEATS audio makes changes to all music you play and I for one along with many others do not like the changes it makes. It seems that every single new version of ROM that comes out has this built in. I have looked high and low and cannot find a way to remove it form the .zip file or even how to remove it after it is installed.
I deeply respect all the work that you do and am very thankful for everything you guys are doing to make our phones better. I understand many people are asking to have BEATS audio added and you are in turn abiding the request.
If anyone wants to know my reasons for not wanting BEATS audio I will be happy to fill you in or you can look at my post history.
One last Thank you to all the Devs for all your hard work and also thank you for even considering my plea, whether or not you are able to fulfill it.
Beats Audio is cool for people who swear by Skull Candy, I guess. Other than that... I'd rather have it optional please!
While everyone has their opinions, and yours is definitely valid, remember that these developers are developing roms based on what they want to make. If they want to put Beats in, its their choice.
Though I think it would be nice if someone would make the files/modifications needed to disable beats ourselves, its out of my knowledge to do so but that would be the proper thing to do rather than expecting developers to change their roms.

Master & Slave has that capability with his new rom paradox paradise. In order for you to activate beats audio, you need to use dsp manager. So there you go. Gotta love options
"Cocaine Is One Hell Of A Drug" You Know I Keep That White Girl
Team Kang probably won't incorporate Beats into their ROMs since they keep it close to stock but with common sense extras that appeal to everyone. As long as Juggernaut and its future releases are Beats-free, I don't see the need to flash anything else for myself.
And yes, Beats are for people with Skullcandy and lower tier phones/IEMs. I'm happy with my Panasonic HJE900K with Poweramp producing sound the way it should be.
What I don't get is why would you flash beats when volume + has beats emulation in it. It's not even all that great. Just really too much bass.

Beats Audio sounds terrible.
I agree. I flashed the zip without making a nandroid and now I'm wishing there was a zip to remove it. The only noticeable thing it does is increases the bass too much. I like bass but not to this level. Whenever I plug my phone into my car the bass is just overwhelming to the point where the treble is just muffled. Besides our sound card, if you can call it that, is already good as it is. In some sense its better than my 2022 MBP's output with the stock player.
I take it, Beats audio doesn't have the ability (in a system setting somewhere) to disable it? So you can go back to normal?
Download and run Darkside Digital Warfare. It does not have any of that extraneous crap baked into it. It will also be one of the best ROM's you will ever run as far as snappiness and battery life.
I have it running via dsp manager so u can enable and disable

So far it is my favorite ROM. I put this plea out because I still love trying out new ROMS from time to time and playing music from my device at work and in my car is a MUST HAVE, CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT feature. And Beats Auido ruins that for me. If only one ROM ends out not having Beats then that limits me to just one viable choice. As other have replied, I am not the only one that thinks this way.
But yes, thank you for the recommendation of Darkside, I have a Nandroid backup for that ROM that I will go back to if I don't find another Daily.
Not sure if SlickMod 3.4 has Beats but DSP Manager wasn't in the base install. Simply installing DSP Manager from the market doesn't work. I to like clean sound and found a workaround with Root Toolbox Pro which has the option to install Cyanogen's DSP Manager, apparently at the system level. The quality coming thru a Bluetooth FM transmitter to my car stereo is as clean as a CD played directly from the player.
A golden app worth mega bucks would be one that would raise and lower the volume depending on surrounding noise. A pink noise generator to set the eq for varied conditions. Hi-end Alpine car stereos started having that option in the mid 80's. The SGS2 has the hardware needed.
I found that if the CPU Freq was set low when first starting an audio file, DSP Manager would crash when trying to change a setting and I would have to reboot.

Why not just delete/disable the files that are required to make it work. Not the cleanest way to do things, but probably would kill the software from running, thus giving you what you want.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440986
Scroll this page. There is one post with links. But instead of relying on a zip flash file, open up these files. Look inside specifically at what lib files or apk file in system are running and just delete them yourself.
Again, not the cleanest method of doing things. Or look for the references in build.prop. Most developers will annotate the build.prop file to specifically show some instances for the enhanced audio. Just simply try a quick edit and reboot to see that the audio is back to stock sound. Just a thought
Again, and I repeat this...Nandroid backup first. I don't need any blame on what I made you do
Hello everyone. I am currently running mROM by mwalt2. The rom itself is fantastic, no bugs, great battery life. However, the trouble I am having is that I don't always hear notifications when they occur. RIngtones are usually fine, but notifications are a bit frustrating. I know this is a stock problem on the gnex but I am trying to find some proven methods that increase notification volume. I am a bit new, but I do know various kernels, have their own sound control support. Does this sound control actually increase notification volume? Right now I am using the kernel that came with mROM, but I was looking at Tiny, Lean, and others. Does anyone have proven experience with any specifics kernels and how they increases notification volume? Any step by step would be greatly appreciated.
Also, has anyone tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1748803 Any thoughts or success stories? Thanks!

Kernel sound tweaks only modify headphone volume.
The simplest solution I can come up with would be to rip the .ogg files out and increase their gain...
Then swap 'em back in.
Thanks for the reply. You're the first to clarify this for me.

1. Put speaker part inside cup/glass
2. .....
3. Victory!
Some equalisers can increase speaker gain, but the downside is sound quality.

Hey friends I wanted to put CNS 1,5.1 ROM into my phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1336) . However I just wanted to know if the volume of the speaker is better than the original stock because I found that too low. Also I just wanted to know what would be an apt ROM to flash if my requirements were good battery life, loud sound and interface which is something different nd looks great,.. thanx in advance
P.S I couldnt ask in the cns thread coz I have less than 10 posts so I posted my question here..
Pardon if there's an obvious answer that I missed in my numerous unsuccessful searches...
What I'm hoping to find is the ability to control volume on our nexus 7 with greater granularity and/or any info on progress in mitigating the design flaw that is the low volume static sound. Any suggestions? Open to anything, like: unimplemented information (as in something that could be developed), conf/framework tweaks, kernels, ROMs, etc but prefer to stay stock-unlocked-rooted.
Thanks.
Have you taken a look at elementalX kernel? He just released a new version with faux sound support. Not sure if that's what you are asking though.

Thanks for the suggestion, looks like Faux sound is largely for gain which might help w/the static (cleaner sound at lower volume?). Have any experience w/it?
So i just wanna know how you people improve the sound quality on M.I use pretty standard headphones on cm 13 yet the sound is so crappy.I tried using Viper4android but without proper configuration of settings its useless .So if anyone can help it'd be aweosme or else we can discuss and find out new ways to improve things
Use this mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mod-xperia-z5-premium-walkman-including-t3252123 with this configurations as in attachments
