[Q] Best results for A2DP and Diamond Tweak ?

Hi, all,
I have searched everywhere but only found solutions for other units/phones. I am aware of the appaling sound quality produced by A2DP (stereo bluetooth) on our beloved Diamond... Actually, HTC is not responsibe per se, since it looks that MS Bluetooth stack is the source of the problem.
I am used to listening to my music in A2DP, but quite frankly, listenning to the music in my Jabra BT-8010 and the Diamond is too painful for me... These horrible high pitched noises in the background are absolutely appaling.
I would like to know if there was any solution to tweak the Diamond and get better results. I know that Diamond Tweak could be used to arrange things, but I don't know how to do it yet.
Otherwise, I'll use my wired headset provided with the phone, but that's a pain too for someone like me who has abandoned wires for bluetooth since so long !
Any help would be greatly appreciated !
Cheers from south of France!

I know this problem. I was actually fighting with it for week and i've managed to get very decent audio quality.
That's what i've done:
1. Using advanced config in Bluetooth: audiogateway - on and powersaving for it on as well; bitpool - very high.
2. Install SRS WOW (absolute must have for music quality). My settings for my headphones:
Mode: headphones; SRS 3D effect - 60%; Center effect - 30%; Focus Level - 20%; Definition Level - 20%; TruBass Level - 100%; TruBass speaker Size - 60Hz; Input and Output Gain - 2% each.
3. Install DiamondTweak 0.5 and in volume control set:
Audio Booster - enabled
100db Sound Limitation - disabled
(after every soft reset those values go back to normal and you need to set them again, small price for excellent sound, there is also script on forum that set those regs everytime phone boots)
3. Play music go to Audiobooster and set high values for bass and quite high for treble.
And music sounds really good.

Thanks !
I'll give a try (actually doing it right now, phone is rebooting).
Well, what can i say, the end result is just a tad better, but I still hear these high pitched noises... On rock music, it's still awful. Much better with wired headsets...
I'll try with SRS WOW.
Thanks again !

Remember ab soft reset after installing srs wow (there is special version for diamond somewhere on this forum). ANd switching back AudioBooster after softreset.
If you'll still have problem try editing Input and Output Gain in srs wow. And make sure you chose headphones mode (not speakers). hOPE YOU'LL ENJOY IT.

Exactly the same problem
Hello,
I have exactly the same problem - using Sony Ericsson MBS-100 loudspeaker.
I'm not a music freak and i dont expect HiFi quality,
but what I can heart are "horrible high pitched noises in the background"
and generally to MUCH treble - so much that my ears hurts after a while
Tryid this loudspeaker with OLD Sony Ercsson mobile - no more background noise, no more trebles..
So my stupid question
Teeps:
" 1. Using advanced config in Bluetooth: audiogateway - on and powersaving for it on as well; bitpool - very high."
I cant find "advanced config" in Bluetooth ?? Thank you for your answer..

Thanks for answer.
I must say its a little bit better with SRS WOW
(best settings for me just WOW Bass),
but Im disapointed, that was not my vision (such a low quality A2DP)
when I bought my Diamond..
Maybe new ROM with new drivers could help?

You can change the bluetooth profile in Schap's Advanced Config. I've set bitpool to 70, max to 76 and min to 64. Now the sound quality is waaay better.

At these settings can I Bluetooht NOT start :-(
My settings, which is fine for me:
Bitpool at medium, min 20 max 70 works fine.
Audiogateway on. JoinStereo on
What really helps
Schap's Advanced Config - HTC Audio Booster: Trebble - LOW
Bass Medium. 3D off (but not tested).
That really(!!) works for me even without SRS WOW, almost no hight freq. noises.

Thanks mate for your input.
Tried your settings, but I am still not lucky... Sound quality is about the same... I'm desperate... and very much afraid

SOme people on other forums tell me they have no issue with sound quality regarding the A2DP... I guess I'll have to try with another headet.

Share your volume settings

I mainly listen to rap/r&b and found this to be the best balance of bass, treble and vocals for my device. It is tuned a little high on the treble but its a good compromise for Youtube dialogue, music, and maximum volume clarity. I can turn it to the maximum volume regardless of what is playing with little to no distortion. Considering the hardwrae limitation of the speaker I am surprised at how loud the Nook can go and still sound halfway decent.
Nook Tweaks > Audio Settings >
DAC boost: The slider stops under the letters A & I below the word gain.
Warning: increasing DAC gain can lead to distortion or speaker damage
External Speaker Analog Gain:
Maximum
DSP Manager App (included w/ CM7):
Custom Preset (from left to right):
Far left is pulled all the way to the bottom.
-6.4
-5.3
+1
+1.9
+0.9
No bass boost
In case someone has not noticed, the Nook's volume / sound quality can be greatly enhanced by cupping your hand behind the speaker while holding it.

I wish there were more of these threads. I can't find a happy medium between headphone and internal speaker quality, and it seems like they are controlled by the same EQ in DSP Manager.
Your settings sound like crap in my headphones. Anything that sounds good on my headphones distorts the internal speaker.

Wow, thanks for bumping this. I was becoming concerned over the low volume of my NC speaker.
Thanks stir fry a lot, these settings are great!

Wow sounds good!
It is a bit higher treble, but its ok.
Is the 6th (far right) slider 0?

Get the Nook Color Tweaks app by Dalingrin. It allows you to set the analog gain of the headphones and external speaker independently of each other. It sounds like you just need to crank down the gain on your headphones.

I've tweaked mine a little since posting this but the far right one was at +.09. I'm not really sure what the far left was set at now lol. It may have been pulled all the way to the bottom. Glad this thread helped some people. No one really seemed to pay attention to it when it was initially posted.

Don't know if that works but you can try it.

Tried Volume+ , Equalizer and "Audio Boost SGS2". Well last one (in bold) is the best in my opinion.

I tried it, it only works for headphones, If you are playing videos , MX Player and Dice Player, can boost the audio.
I use Power Amp for music and it`s quite loud.

thank you i will try your suggestions and will write the result

You can download DSP manager and for the speaker option enable the equaliser and decrease the lows and increase the mid and high frequencies. In theory that should work!

Headphones:
-Sony XB-500 (home)
-Klipsch Image S4 (outside)
DSP settings:
- I personally don't any DSP settings. I've noticed it distorts the sound like crazy. If I try to turn up the levels of lows or mids I notice that the overall volume decreases. The bass boost is useless and I used to use the surround effect but it also distorted sound. Any of you have different experiences?
As a side note, I always stream music in the highest quality from spotify

Eh?

Not Equalizing the music is like eating raw meat...
I usually listen to heavy metal and dubstep (videogame remixes ) and I usually decrease a bit (-5db) at 500hz (mids) and raise (+5db) at 87hz (lows) and 8khz (highs).
Artificial bass boosters are a crap, complete Equalizers are better but i dont know any android player that has a complete equalizer (from 30hz to 16khz)
Attachment is an example of AIMP3 player for PC (Windows)

Played around a bit with the default Play Music EQ using both the speaker and a pair of Shure SE115 in-ears. I had the speaker volume at about 75% and the earphones closer to 60%. Both are lacking in the bass department so increasing the first 60hz slider will help with the low range.
Using the speaker EQ adjustments were mostly amounting to a "louder" sound. This makes sense as you're just increasing DB at various ranges and increasing all of them at the same level should increase overall loudness while not adjusting the sound too much.
With tiny speakers in my ears the adjustments were much more profound. Having tried the EQ Off I then switched back and forth between FX Booster and Normal. This was bringing out a lot more in the way of vocals and guitar solos in the Pearl Jam tracks I was listening to without introducing much noise so I settled on something in between those 2 presets as my User having already adjusted the 60hz for Bass on it's own to find the right placement and then bringing the last 14Khz slider down almost in line with that about +7DB.
Stay away from the Surround slider and check to see if it turned itself on randomly like it has for me twice now. On the speaker it didn't seem to make much difference but with in ears it was destroying the sound in an attempt to make it more "live" sounding. This could also potentially lead to distortion at max volumes.
Bass boost is also better left off or at the very minimum allowed setting otherwise bass on my Shures sounded muddied and took away from the rest of the song. Better to increase the DB for the lowest EQ slider instead.

DSP setting. Need to download CM. Will change with results tonight.

Neutron is your best bet for SQ on Android.
I've paid for PlayerPro, Power Amp, and Neutron (and tried out many others). Never found anything that compares to Neutron.

I've been using Viper4Android over the last couple days and I like it so far!

What is the best DSP setting for Nexus 5 with Razer Hammerhead Pro?

i have been using poweramp

Audio equilizer

First let me say I am LOVING my P30 Pro
I came from the Samsung s10 and so much about this phone is better. For me battery life being the main thing!
One thing I miss is the audio tools from the Samsung. Where you can calibrate each ear as well as approx 10 audio frequencies (graphic equilizer).
Is there anything out there that would make up for this? Maybe a 3rd party app?
Also the volume with headphones, both wired and Bluetooth is a lot less than the Samsung. Anyway this can be boosted?
Thanks

Graphic equalizer is present, under the Sound settings > Dolby Atmos.
Maximum volume is ok for me.

There is a app, its called Neutralizer, for calibrating your ears. But i suggest to take a better headphone amp like SXFI AMP from creative. It meassures your heat transfer function and convolve it to music signal. It has an equalizer too. Need some time until everything fits but after that its great - first time you can have a real staging and no more "in head" music.
