DSP Manager vs ALSA? - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just as the topic states ,which sound quality enhancement do u find to be the best?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium

Trust me, Go For Lovetz beats audio + alsa with audio fx widget.
Dsp is crappy.
I'm using that on droidace v2 and sound is awesome.
DSP usually force closes some times, and provides screeches.
And yup, rembr to set transparency for audio fx, that's when it looks nice.

This is so awkward :laugh:, ALSA is a almost universal Linux Open Source Audio driver created to replace closed source drivers.
DSP is just a sound manipulation.
Most known Android DSP's are SRS, Beats Audio, MusicFX, XBass, and of course DSP Manager.
The difference from an Equalizer and DSP on Android is that DSP uses the CPU thats specially reserved for DSP .The original Galaxy Ace (cooper) has a separate 320MHz CPU in a Hexagon QDSP5 DSP chip reserved for DSP and Audio/Video decoding.

Ow ALSA seems not working on cm9 RC1.....Cant find the files after installing......will use the inbuilt MUSICFX equalizer anyway....

LOL yeah when I saw this thread "Why is ALSA and DSP being compared?" lol
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

well....I THINK, both om em have different advantages.
dsp manager wich uses DSP(as mentioned above) that didnt affect device performance, but has bad sound processing
alsa that has great sound result but take some CPU power.
and i personally think alsa isn't something for SGA, because when I use it, phone become soooooo slooowwww.....

Voodoo sound vs beats audio

Thinking about flashing beats audio. I already have voodoo sound.Which the difference detween them? Which is better? They are both sound amplifiers?
I dont know whether beats audio works on 2x but voodoo does work. Plus DSPManager along with Voodoo makes music complete. One more PLUS LG'S default music player is very high audio quality music player with lib dependent HW equalizing unlike other players which uses cpu for DSP.
So in summary,
LG music player + voodoo + dspmanager thats way enough for an ear

Now i'm using audio beats with boose and i have to say that i feel the difference between before (using vodoo sounds^^). Finally i think that audio beats is better...it's my opinion of course.
My vote goes to beats audio.
of course voodo sound, beats audios take no effect=.=
Well, manage to find working dsp manager.. my settings:
1) v20q rom+stock kernel
2) beats audio
3) dsp manager: bass boost moderate+rock eq
Results: Listening to Metallica, and surprisingly superb..
Wish Jason Newstead's bass sound a bit clearer..

Listen Metallica"s "fixxxer" or "the memory remains" for real deep bass. Jason newsted was a great bassist

According to supercurio, The Creator of voodoo, he said beats makes no diferrence, he measured it. Also I would really believe something really optimised to our phones, to our hardware.
Anyway, if beats do something(which I dont believe), it would be just some software enhancement like equalizer or anything faulting the clearness of the sound.
Just my opinion based on my logic.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using Tapatalk
I think its not which one is the best.. its about which is convenient to users. For me, the Beats Audio advantage is we dont need another app to configure it, as Voodoo we do need the app to activate it.
Just flash Beats Audio, install DSP Manager and find your settings. (To me, its simpler)..

[Q] Best Rom for music and sound mods?

So I'm getting a note 2 very soon and so I'll be using my IncS as a media phone in my car, speakers at parties etc. So what ROMs would you guys recommend with what sounds mods? The reason I ask "what ROM" is because some ROMs support different mods to other ROMs, cheers guys.

AOSP if you want to be flashing mods like awesomebeats and ac!d with equalisers
Viper if you want to use the built in SRS, Dolby or beats. SRS and Dolby on viper is actually dope so I highly recommend those for sound enhancements
If the note 2 has a Wolfson DAC though, I'd be using that
Thanks for that. I'll probably use the note 2 aswell, but my IncS will most likely be the primary sound device.

[MOD] ViPER4Android Audio Effects

EDIT: I am not affiliated with this MOD at all, I'm simply spreading the word.
Alright, forget AwesomeBEATS, AC!D Soundmod and DSP Manager. I've been trying this out for a few weeks now, with incredible results. I have tested this on both Borked ROM and PACman, and works flawlessly on both so it should work on all ROMs available for our Vivid. The only bug I have noticed is the separate bluetooth settings don't seem to make a difference, it just uses the Headset settings. Here are the settings I've found with the best sound for me so far, it will make your ears happy.
V4A-FX Powered On- CHECKED
PlaybackAGC- Unchecked
FIR Equalizer- CHECKED- I use Vocal Booster
Convolver- CHECKED- srs_2_1_normal+headset.irs
Field Surround- CHECKED- Both set to Moderate
Reverberation- Unchecked
Dynamic System- CHECKED- I have Denon headphones so I select High-End, sometimes Extreme. I can tell a difference between the two.
Tube Simulator- CHECKED
Just read through the thread and you'll find the .irs files and what to do with them. Installation is super easy and makes a huge difference.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
For our Vivid, choose A8Cortex with Neon when it does the initial driver setup.
If you have TitaniumBackup or can otherwise completely remove DSP Manager, I highly recommend this as to avoid conflicting settings.
thank you it works! my cm10 flashed vivid is so much louder and clear thanks again
I also want to point out my edit, if you can remove DSP manager from the system I recommend doing so, as its settings will conflict and deteriorate Viper's.
I'm glad you said something cus I deleted dsp manager and I'm using viper and I was gunna reflash the dsp manager since I think there's to much bass and music is a bid distorted.

It really does turn your phone into a high-end preamp/mixer, the audio profiles you can create with a little tweaking are amazing. This is one of the best setups I've found so far, for my headphones and the cassette adapter in my car-
Headset-
Master Power- On
Playback Gain- Off
FIR Equalizer- On- Vocal Booster
Convolver- On- IRS I use is samsung_i9300_soundalive_11_virtualchannel7.1.irs
Field Surround- Off
Headphone Surround- Off in the car, On for headphones (sometimes)
Reverberation- Off
Dynamic System- On- Extreme Headphones(v2), 16% Dynamic Bass, Tube Simulator enabled
Fidelity Control- ViPER Bass- On- Natural Bass, 40hz, 3.5db, ViPER Clarity- On- OZone+, 3.5db
Auditory System Protection- Cure Tech- On, Moderate
Master Gate (Limiter)- 0db, 0db
Glad it's working out for you guys!

I started to install it but got stuck. When I go to put the apk in the system/app folder it says "has not been copied" but it does list it as there twice both having 0kb size
Does it have a huge difference compared to DSP Manager? and what are the difference?
considering trying this mod...
but i need to know how to uninstall this mod ...just incase i don't like it ....
(I'm currently rooted running a stock dedoxed rom... using beats audio and poweramp so headphone wise i have no issue with the sound, but sound through the phones speakers is just too low.)
I'm on 4.2.2 Unofficial Dirty Unicorn (7-18-13),
after flash the rom,on phone speaker, default bass was too heavy to make it sounds horrible, and the dsp manager didn't work.
but this MOD works great!
Really thanks for the info, it fixed my phone speaker problem

I gave it a try. For me ACID sound was much better, but it's currently not supporting 4.3 well. I tried a lot of options in VIPER, but still with only Poweramp settings it sounds amazing, so no 'audio boosters' are needed.
Yep this is the best.
Totally recommend.
Easy installation, superior quality and tons of settings.
I think this is better in overall than ACID mod.

Tried standard FX mode (super quality and power save). The sound is awesome but I experience high cpu temperature and massive battery drain. Even charging doesn't work properly anymore (connected but it's not charging, like -1% in 5 mins).
Does anybody experience similar problems or know why this occurs?
EDIT: I'm on Vanir nightly of 21.10
with Optimus Play kernel.
UPDATE: Tried to install it again as I wanted to figure out why I got this drain. After driver installation and reboot I watched the cpu freqs with Trickster Mod for quite some time and they got stuck on 4 cores over 475 MHz all the time (heat and drain apparent).
After another reboot I played around with trickster's settings (1core max, 2 cores max, power save mod etc) and suddenly after about 3 mins my cpu cooled down real quick and only the needed cores were online.
Now after 2 hours I have no drain anymore. Not sure what happened but I'm glad I can use this awesome mod.
