Hi there,
Do you guys know, what's the latest recommended app/util for managing sound?
Audio booster? Headset booster? What version, where to get it?
Thanks!
Anyone any idea?

Comeradealexi, Thanks for your suggestion. I have coreplayer, and it's a good player with equalizer, but I'm just looking for an equalizer app without a player. Sometimes I'd like to use WMP, since it's integrated in the WM6.5 todayscreen..
Thanks!

hmm - i dont think WMP has anything like that - you can try another player like Pocket Player - im sure that must have a EQ and you can controll it from homescreen i recall
well I use LCG Jukebox which is very simple
but very effective music player
has a very good EQ.

Thanks guys, but I'm really looking for a OS wide EQ. I'm aware of all the other great and greater players, but WMP is integrated with the WM6.5 finger friendly todayscreen. The others are not (that I'm aware of).
Anyway, I know there is such an player independant equalizer out there. Can't exactly remember the name & latest version. I think it was something like Audio booster or Headphone booster...
There is HTC audio booster or something, but it comes with Manila ROMs only.
There was an SRS WOW cab somewhere on the Elf forums last year. I used it and it worked, but not sure whether it would work with other phones.

Because sometimes when using Windows Media Player, I'd like to be able to adjust the sound

I tried several versions of this software, but none has worked for me.
After installing there was actually no sound anymore.
Hi guys,
I decided that I want to use winamp as my default music player for several reasons... however, I like the srs and dolby effects that the stock music player has.
Is there any way to have those (especially the srs) with winamp???
thanks in advance.

you can use poweramp it has an equalizer which can simulate the SRS effect also you can use dsp manager but on some roms its a battery drainer.
Yeah, PowerAMP is awesome. Get it.
I do have it as well. The thing is Winamp reacts to my headphones controls.
Is PowerAMP the one for me? I use DoubleTwist right now, and it's got lots of issues. But it does let me get to some SomaFM Stations.
IMO Poweramp does not compare with any player on Output. its almost like they have muted the audio output on it. Its the only player that I have come across that does this.
Poweramp defaults to having the equalizer and tonal control on. Go into the Equalizer settings and unclick EQU and PRE and TONE. Once done the volume is equal to the Samsung music player at least for me. Poweramp is awesome simply because of that customizable equalizer.

Tried that.......no worky........I tried comparing the stock music app and Poweramp using your method, and any other setting I could find. Poweramp is aesthetically pleasing, but the sound quality isn't up to par with me.
The equalizer became obsolete with Voodoo Sound! Which is one of the greatest improvements to this phone. Thanks Supercurio!

That was my experience, as well. I tried a song at the same sound level with both and with PowerAMP I could hear some noticeable distortion. Sucked because I paid for it and am no longer using it.
Moved to proper forum.
Use voodoo app and power amp it is amazing

You might want to try the moto music app from here. It's loaded with tons of features. Auto looks up words for your songs while they're playing and highlights them as they're sung. Links to YT vids, has shoutcast, tune identification via sound hound (I believe), links to tunewiki, has sleep timer, and downloads songs. Doesn't have a equalizer though. IMO, the sound quantity and quality is comparable to the Samsung app. Oh, it's also free.

I tried pretty much ever music player out there and really was disappointed with many. Finally tried Music PlayerPro Trial, bought the paid version that same day it was soo good! By far the best player I have used with the most features/options.

I checked this one out after reading your post. It's a great music player! Hands down the best one I have yet found. Thanks for the info.
what are you guys talking about with poweramp sucking?
the default music app and playerpro don't even find my music because they are apparently unable to handle album-structure. what the hell? even IF their sound quality was better, i refuse to put all of my mp3s into one folder.
plus - when i first tried out poweramp yesterday, i was stunned by the sound. same equalizer settings as on my computer with soundblaster x-fi and winamp and it sounds a hint fuller. and it can push bass even further without distortion - i didn't even know my headphones were able to produce that and had to reduce it because while it worked, it didn't sound good any more.

Playerpro finds all my music in different folders with album structure just fine. Overall its the best out there with skins, equalizer, lockscreen widget, etc... well worth buying

Same here......... My SD card is fully structured as well.
It even links artist pics, and sorts the albums under the artist pics.
Overall its a great player. I like how there is a music player that actually integrates lyrics properly now.
If your having good luck with PowerAMP, then that's good for you! My overall experience with it wasn't good.
huh... i wonder what the problem is with my phone as i would like to compare these apps. but what the hell, poweramp works great and i don't want to spend hours figuring out what's wrong. -_-
Poweramp works great. For those that have problems with muted sound, you have to go into the equalizer and raise the settings. If this causes distortion, lower the pre-amp setting or turn off tone. I usually keep my pre-amp setting a third of the way up. Even close to half way will cause some distortion. I've tried every music app I could find on different speakers and poweramp is the best MUSIC player. Pro player is nice but eq doesn't compare to poweramp. Looks alone though, Proplayer is mighty pretty but I didn't spend $2000 in speakers for a pretty music app. Poweramp = best sound.
I use PowerAmp bc i like the widget best. The MotoMusic app thats on these forums is awesome though. Ijust like poweramps widget better

For listening to shoutcast (like somafm) I like Xiialive. But it only plays shoutcast, you have to use something else for playing local media

i was using XIIA until I found this.. this seems better IMO
Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to record voice while listening to music at the same time?
To hear how terrible I sing
I have headphones with mic. and I use GingerDX v022 + alfs v07.
I play music in player and start sound recorder, but when I press record music stops.
I guess it should be possible since while in call my side (mic) can be recorded, even without any special kernel driver, and you have sound in headphones at the same time
anybody knows how to do it?
Thanks
ok, I found a solution.
I downloaded 2 free voice recording apps (Voice recorder, Tape-a-talk) from market, and with them it works.
It seems it only doesn't work with built in GingerDX Sound Recorder.
I'm running ViperOne 2.1 ROM with faux123 kernel and I installed Poweramp but the sound quality is inferior to compared to the stock music player or Google Play Music. I tried messing around with the EQ settings and disabling DVC but even then other apps are superior in terms of sound quality, anyone else using Poweramp ever have this issue, if so is there a fix?
I also tried adjusting settings with Beats on and with Beats off but I'm not getting any real results.
Power Amp user here and no such problems
Check the themes section, there is a sound mod zip file that be flashed
