Graphic Equaliser

Hi All - I downloaded both the HTC Audio Booster and the HTC Graphic Equaliser, but even after a soft reset, the graphic equaliser didn't seem to make any difference to the sound through my headphones
..and having installed them both at the same time I couldn't figure out what the difference between the programs is. I had an icon for the audio booster that contained an equaliser function. Should there be a separate icon for the Equaliser?
Slightly confooosed

Hi there,
I also loaded the graphic Equaliser, without any success.
Maybe some kind soul will inform us what we are doing wrong

With the HTC Equaliser I really didn't notice mmuch if any difference in the sound.So I got rid of it,but if I'm not mistaken go to SETTINGS/SYSTEM you'll find the listing for it there so that you can adjust it, but your headphones have t0o be attached even to make the adjustments.If I remember correctly it will only works on wired headphones and not bluetooth.

unfortunately, it's basically how it works. To combat this, you might want to give a try to :
- SRS WOW HD (see my latets article)
- a media player with an eqaliser that sticks

Graphic Equalizer
Thanks guys! I might give it another go...

Thanks Audio - fantastic!!! Appreciate your help...

WOW Driver
I installed the control panel applet, but when I run it it says the WOW driver is missing. Did I do something wrong..or is the driver contained in another download?
Thanks

Do a soft reset. The driver needs to reload.

Soft reset after install

SRS WOWHD w/ A2DP support

Package taken from here: http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=224&t=517120&p=1&cache=0 and I re-package as English version. Tried on my ATT Tilt and works.
As usual, please backup first and try as your own risk. Please make sure to soft-reset after install.
*** Removed since speaker will not work after installation ***

Hm, did not work for me. Original HTC TyTN II. Seems to be the wrong driver. No sound whether phone nor music. Uninstallation successful though.
The original SRS WOW did interfere with my A2DP Handsfree. The tab where to chose internal speaker or headphone showed a blank bar.
So now it looks like i got to live without it.

Did you perform a soft-reset after install? Maybe we should wait longer to see test result from other user

SRS WOW HD is the subject of another thread, providing the cab too.
It didn't work for many of us, soft-reset solves the problem.
Cheers

yes i did perform a softreset without no change.
@Gpx85 i know, the thing is though we were talking about BT Streaming Audio Support as well. The cab that i installed previously did only support wired headphone and internal speaker.

If it doesnt work via Blue Tooth -> regedit the olddriver value to the right old driver for your device!
i havent a tytnII to look in the registry, to say the right settings!
Here is a copy of the Original SRS WOW Thread ...
That worked through BT headset it is necessary to copy all parameters from [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Wave Dev] in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\BtA2dpSnd
Except for value of parameter "OldDriver", he should be such, as was "DLL"
For example:
Before
"DLL" = "bta2dp.dll"
After
"DLL" = "WOWHD_ARM_WCE_PPC2005_Driver.dll"
"OldDriver" = "bta2dp.dll"

To have real stereo with your bluetooth stereo headphone you have to change the following registry key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings
Change the UseJointStereo value 1 to 0.
The value 1 means dual mono, value 0 means stereo

Just found another package (SRS_WOW_HD 121.CAB)that works perfectly on my ATT Tilt (Both phone speaker & A2DP works w/o problem)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355913&page=9

What does it do exactly? What's the purpose and effect of it?
I know WMP 10 uses SRS WOW as an effect processing plugin.. to add echo/reverberation/etc... what does it do on Kaiser?

Similar things. U get 3D effecct, bass, treble adjustment. It was working only on Wav device (speaker and wired headset). The new cab w/ updated registry key make A2DP working also.

I've tried this as well and resetted the phone about 4 times but does not work, even after uninstalling it, I still have no sound. Help please

+1 also tried that one

version 1.21 works...you can find it here

It doesn't work with me if i chanche the setting it's still the same, also i can't chache the volume anymore...

For me it works, too. Great app. Mush better then Audio Booster!

For people with missing sound after installing SRS WOW, this fixed mine:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\BtA2dpSnd
"Dll" = bta2dp.dll
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev
"Dll" = wavedev.dll

it works well, but i can´t change the volume now...
can someone help me please...

oh man someone fix this volume bug pls..

Wished it works
I've had to hard reset my diamond, I'm using bElite ROM.
Would be great if it works cause using the speaker for hands free is aweful, very hard to hear. Is anyone else having this problem?

does anyone has a solution for the problem??
we can´t change the volume while srs is running

Don't use SRS WOW
If you want to modify bass,.....go to the registry:
3D Sound:
[HKLM/Software/HTC/AudioBooster/]
--> Prim_3DSound : Change value 0 (put 4 for example)
Bass:
[HKLM/Software/HTC/AudioBooster/]
--> Prim_Bass : Change value 0 (put 4 for example)
Treble:
[HKLM/Software/HTC/AudioBooster/]
--> Trim_Treble : Change value 0 (put 4 for example)
Simpler : install HTC Audio Booster available in development and hacking section.
Ps: it is not made for VGA so will display very little but everything works

There is still the volume problem, and the only way to fix it is the registry edit, which disables the custom settings.

SRS WOW - Comparisons for HTC Raphael AT&T

Friends,
I am a very big fan of SRS on the Raphael and I tell you the application plugin is pain to get working. As everyone has written before my post, it either works or it doesn't on their device. There are a few versions out there floating around and it does require a lot of trial and error in order to get the sound wanted from the plugin.
Now, before I start I have been through three Raphael phones due to hardware problems that I had to send back for RMA replacement. I am now on my fourth phone and hope it stays that way for a long time!
On two of the raphael phones, I was not recieving the full punch of SRS wow with the extra bass, compression, surround sound etc.. But on the other two same identical phones I had no problems with the full sound. At the present, if I listen to a song - doesn't matter the song I hear the bass thumping into my chest.. Sometimes, it can be annoying and other times the balence that srs brings out between all instruments is amazing. This is where SRS does a beautiful job bringing out the extra heavey bass without muffling the other sounds. If you think your srs is working but doesn't deliever the bass thumping in your chest as I describe for your mp3 playback phone, then it's truely not working...
I have included my screen shots, registry edits and the different device information for you to plow through and compare. Now, remember this is for the AT&T Raphael pocket pc phone.
Steps
1. Install SRS_WOW_HD 121.CAB and reboot the ppc
2. Install WOWHD_ARM_Panel.cpl - copy this file directly to \windows folder. It might take a few seconds to copy.
3. Change the registry entries before going into the app.
4. Goto: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev]
5. Change "Flags"=dword:00010000 to "Flags"=dword:00010002 (Note: Energy Rom 3.0 I had to add the Flag Value)
6. Launch SRS WOW from the settings and use the screen shot I supplied. I like the heavey bass thumping sound, so these are my settings.
SRS Software Versions
I could not get the other software versions to work with the raphael phone. So for SRS to work 121 is the only one that works. Don't waste your time trying the others....just use 121
Now, how do you figure out if your Raphael phone will produce the sound with SRS WOW as I mentioned above? That is a good question because it definitely comes down to the electronics in the device that HTC puts into the device. Should SRS WOW work on all devices "YES" but as I expressed earlier, it does not. I have already been through four phones and two worked and two didn't. (Same settings, reg edits, radio, spl etc). So there is something between the devices that delivers better performance with SRS.
Stats Information on PPC
Rom Version Tested in ROMeOS or Energy 3.0 (no problems)
Radio Version: RUU_1.02.25.32 (AT&T Stock Radio)
Music Players Tested: S2P, Touchflo Music Player (no problems)
IMEI - first ten digits I noticed a trend between phones. "15" works and "12" does not. I verified this with the other two phones and the one that did work also had a "15"..
3531420212 SRS doesn't work (Old Phone)
3531420215 SRS works (New Phone)
SPL
RAPH110
SPL-1.90.Olinex
MicroP-Raph (LED) v13
MicroP-Raph (Key) v5
PSOC-Raph Stage_CVT v0x36
R: 1.02.25.32
G: 52.39c.25.22
D: 1.9xromeos (RomeOS) or Energy Rom 3.0
Mac Address
I also noticed that the two phones that SRS wow did work on the mac addresses were close and similar, the other two were different.
I would honestly for those really interested in having SRS on their phone for the Raphael users, definitely use ROMeOS rom and radio I listed.
It will take some trial and error deffinitely. But in the meantime, the application SRS wow has to be handled with kid gloves in order to real deliver the sound.
Also, take note and back everything up before making changes to your ppc.
Please note that I am not the person who originally figured out how to change the registry values. Not too sure who the author was, so I can't make that claim only pass on to others what helped me.
Good luck and hope you enjoy.

Hi tvos,
You mentioned "6. Launch SRS WOW from the settings and use the screen shot I supplied. I like the heavey bass thumping sound, so these are my settings." The screen shots you have uploaded does not show any settings specific to SRS .
TIA

what do you mean? they are there..
tvos

Good job tvos,
Thanks for adding the screen shots.

Does this make the htc audio manager stop working, I thought I read in a post somewhere that it does...thanks TVOS

the plugin for SRS does not work with audio manager. I tested srs working in S2P and other third party apps and it works fine.. something with htc audio manager or srs just don't like each other..
tvos

Thanks!
Seems to work very well on mine...with IMEI 0202 (early build). I am also using NATF's ROM with the .28 radio.
EDIT: After installing the app, the phone goes to sleep and never wakes up -- have had to soft reset each time. I have since uninstalled and all is back to normal.

thats good... its really hard to say why SRS works on some devices and others it does not. i know from experience that srs didn't work well with the two that I had to return but the other worked fine and delivered BIG bass sound..
thak you for your contribution.

SRS over A2DP
I have this working on my Fuze (SRS 1.2.10.0 from the MONX cab, including the CPL) and it truly rocks my brain playing with S2P.
I really love it!
If you are having issues with yours, here is the CAB I use. I am also including the REG file with the settings I use. Give those a whirl.
(Monx, if this is somehow not kosher, please let me know and I'll remove it, post-haste. All credit for this CAB should go to MONX)

Well, ensure you don't have SRS WoW already installed (uninstall and sr if you do)
Install CAB
extract REG file in ZIP, copy to phone, and import (using whatever registry editor you prefer - DotFred's works a treat)
open the new WoW SRS applet in Settings, and then close. (don't change anything)
Connect your headphones (BT or cabled, no matter)
fire up your favorite player
hit PLAY boogie to the very satisfying sound form your headphones
Have fun!

Hi is this configured to work in TouchFlo music tab and also change the volume? The other cab I used wouldnt allow me to change the volume and would also stop working after a call was received or made.
Thanks!

No clue, my friend. I don't use the music tab. It has worked flawlessly with WMP, PocketPlayer, and S2P, though.

i got it to work but the settings don't last when i use my bt headset. i have to open s2p & play a song, then minimize it, open up srs wow then choose internal headphones, then it would change to my desired setting.
it doesn't happen with wired headphones though.

Thanks!
Works great on my Sprint Touch Pro running JD ROM v2.15, OP's CAB worked, Yom's CAB did not (gave me a driver not loaded error in the control panel applet, even after a soft reset).
You should update the instructions to indicate that the .cpl file should be copied to the \Windows folder, and can be accessed by going to Start->Settings->System tab.
Edit: I changed the Flags registry value back to my device's previous value (0). I'm fairly sure the new value was causing an issue where if I put my device in standby with the power button I couldn't wake it up, forcing me to perform a soft reset.

You should update the instructions to indicate that the .cpl file should be copied to the \Windows folder, and can be accessed by going to Start->Settings->System tab.
are you talking about the separate file that is copied to the windows folder after the intial install?
i have added that already..
thanx.

Thanks for the update.. Does the music player work after calls are made/received? I had to soft reset to get the tunes back on.

Maybe someone had the same problem than me...
I installed SRS, and it works great with S2P... But after install, i can't hear anyone when i received a phone call...
I MUST hard reset to hear my phonecall !
Is there any solution ?

I'm not sure why but, I've got this working just fine with HTC's Audio Manager. I've got a (relatively) new HTC Fuze (AT&T) purchased off Craigslist with Audio Manager installed from a seperate cab located in the Raphael forum.
Rockin' big-time through my Plantronics 590A BT headphones. Looking forward to kicking some tunes through my portable "stereo" (old set of PC speakers & Sub) that I connect to using my Motorola BT receiver.

Question for all chefs: AudioBooster versus SRS WOW HD

Is there any reason why there is AudioBooster preferred over SRS WOW HD (in fact I cannot see any ROM with this included)?
I am using SRS WOW HD without any issues and like it much more than AudioBooster, in fact AudioBooster is making the sound really crappy, like those old equalizers in radios and walkmans from 20 years ago whereas SRS WOW HD has a much better sound and much more functions to configure.
It's just a question to know if chefs know about that option or if there's any particular reason
Thanks.

What version of SRS are you using? Didn't it give you problems when installing on your blackstone?

Attached. Works perfect for me

Do you happen to know if it works with WM6.5?

Of course it does
I'm using Miri's WM6.5 Premium V19 and have no issues with SRS WOW HD at all. In fact, I haven't had any before, too.

Thanks! will try to install now. Wish me luck!

Install, soft reset, then go to Programs - Settings - System and you will find it there. Enjoy.

I have installed successfully but it doesn't seem to make any difference when I change the modes. Like WOWRock to WOWClassical or even to Normal. Also the Volume doesn't seem to change. Even if I put the volume to 0% it is still playing. Could this be because of the software?

Have you selected headphones under the "enable" checkbox in WOW HD Settings?

yes I did. I'm not sure why it doesn't change. Do you have an idea? I've been wanting to use this sofware for a long time.

Have you soft reset your device? Do you have AudioBooster disabled? What player do you use?

Yes I did softreset. I have not enabled audiobooster. I use WMP. It also disabled the volume changer on my phone. I put volume on WMP and on the system to 0 and it doesn't change it is still playing with the same level of volume. you are not experiencing this?

Alright.. you convinced me. It does sound better than HTC's Audiobooster. We cook it in cause it comes with every stock ROM outthere. It's more an issue of... why we dont take it out then putting it IN.
Anyway, I'll cook the cab you provided in my ROM from now on

I definately agree that SRS WOW HD sounds much better than Audiobooster. I've been using it in a few devices and many ROMs without any problem. I also install it through SASHIMI with my personalised reg settings. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SRS\WOWXT\WaveDev]

Hi Mate.
Nice one.
Last time I tried wow on HD it didn't work, and I miss it.
Hey why don't you tell Miri about this?
Anyway, I can use it myself.
Thank you

I know there is a version flowing on internet which is older than mine (but higher rank in web searchers), I think 1.2.09 or so.
That version is buggy and doesn't work well, the one I have attached works just fine.

Does this cab break master volume as well as WMP?

No, this cab will not affect master volume changes, I have found only WMP not working with this.

Great find my friend, thank you.
