How to set ^^
Speaker :
to make louder you can increase when you tap to speaker and can select between 0-63 stock is 53 but if you make more you will have Gain!! because of the speaker.
and you can set more bass when you scroll down to "AIF1DAC1 EQ2" and set to 10-14 you will have better sound but quieter sound level and faster gain!!
if you will it louder but no gain you must set "AIF1DAC1 EQ2" to 6-0
if you will more height then you must set "AIF1DAC1 EQ4" or "AIF1DAC1 EQ5" higher between 13-16
Method 2.
to make louder type terminal this
Code:
alsa_amixer sset "Speaker" "X"
alsa_amixer sget "Speaker" *to look how it is now
X= between 0-63
Bass or hight
Code:
alsa_amixer sset "AIF1DAC1 EQx" "X"
alsa_amixer sget "AIF1DAC1 EQx" *to lock how it is now
x= 1-5/ 1=low 2=midellow 3=midel 4=midelhight 5=hight
X= 0-31 but i recommend between 9-17

Same like
up there
I will update, and be always on the latest state and sey you all.
ther are many spelling mistakes pleas dont be hard to me ^^

1st option for Start in Boot
(Only a fast idea )
1 download script manager
2 download my script
3 chose my script
4 set as root and boot
Finish
Profile 1#
Height speaker volume +less gain
Profile 2#
Stock volume but more bass and better sound

I don't have any problem with the CM10 stock max volume but if these libs give a quality amplification of the speaker's sound, I may give it a try.

This is my solution

This is a good solution But I don't like such a big amp :/ and with my 80 ohm headfone is it with this mod loud and sounds good
Really I have a incredible s and the Optimus 2x sounds much better. Better then my ps3 with HiFi amp
But try this mod with your headfone ^^ and say how loud + bass boost ( set to 14 -15 is enough)

Nice thread m8
I have beats,can you post your init.d script for auto loading settings(i am tired of typing that in console every time )
Also i noticed that it revert's to original values after some time of using phone(no restart) didn't catch when that happends yet...

Yes this is the problem now but to set faster download the app.
I will ask a developer to help me maybe as I now pengui is working by I will sey him about to add eq an maybe eq my profile
(Maybe I will test to make aapp but not many time and skils )
To do is :
Set auto setting at boot
And beats is nothing special its just placebo effect.
Problem we could have with speaker eq and headphon eq :/

Is there a way to increase in-call volume using alsa mixer?

Headamp is the best for volume and sound quality for me. It is little bigger in pocket of course but it sounds amazing! And that's the point.

Where do I buy One?
Forget about it...
That headamp solution is very expensive.

I whanted 2 say that i have beats audio inear headphones
With boost of 54 they are 2 load for me,also they have great bass so i don't need more
Just would like that settings stay whole time until you reset

Why u ppl buy this overpriced crap?Ah,marketing,ok.

Now general selection now its right
And yea 54 is quit loud for inear Hp ^^
This mod is for big headpfone over 32 ohme

@ Nootubo,great we need solution until Pengus make manager(service) for auto start and checking if the settings are active couse they revert to original values sometimes(for me)
@ dorwoo If you where adressing me about headphones,i got them from friend(free)(he doesn't need them) i would never pay 100$ for in ear headphones even i love music :good:

Awsome
Great info. Thx for the heads up. I hope it will give us as good sound quality as Voodoo Sound. Have missed that app so much since I switched to ICS/Jelly Bean. I will wait to try this method until its more 'stable' though.

Awesome!
Wow! I'm generally skeptic to sound mods (eg. I hate beats or acid mods), but this is better than supercurio's voodoo mod! Simply amazing!

On CM10 tonyp's PA build 6 & kowalski kernel 100p3. Have tried increase the headphone output from default (I think it's 45) up to 60 and boy, this mod makes my IEM sound loud. Settled on 55 because on 60 I started hearing that crackling noise. Also tried increasing the speaker output from 53 up to 60, and it worked.
Btw, this mod is also compatible with "direct volume control" of poweramp. Great app & mod!

Unfortunately, it looses all the settings after reboot.
Sent from LG Optimus 2X

It looses for me without reboot,after some time,do you guys that use this mod have same thing?
Put some values and then after some time check settings and you will see they are at default values

Hmm i have no time so i had an fast idea with script manager to set a small script at boot
But no eq for the HP you must set manual and back with the script.
And the bug that the time is shut off is I think still there.
1st site 2 post is the manual off the boot script

[Q] Volume too loud

Quick question...
As the title suggests, my device's lowest volume setting is still too loud if I want to listen to something in the background or want to take a snooze. Is there a way to either add more volume levels or lower the value of the levels? I'm running JPK and it's rooted.
Cheers.
download and install this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8123906&postcount=39
it should work with the BETA froyo
Thanks, but I already have Sound Manager installed, which does the same thing as Audio Manager, but has a cleaner interface and more control options. The problem is that neither of them do what I want... the lowest volume is still too loud.
I need to somehow adjust the increment value in code or add more increments to give me finer control.
Did you ever receive an answer on your volume issue. I have a galaxy 4G with the same issue and no one has answers?
Use voodoo control app from market, it adjust the analog amplifier.

Yes voodoo would be the best for you its just amazing....install it and you will love it....it makes your phone to the best mp3-player you can buy for money
Yep, use a kernel with voodoo sound. Or buy Supercurio's app in the market and support his work. The app gives you the option to adjust the analog gain, if the volume is too loud all you have to do is lower the gain and problem solved

in order to modify (loudness, boost, etc..) each audio file i could also have them exported and remanaged through Audition for instance and then copied back to phone.

i'm used to voodoo sound + volume+ by meltus.
voodoo sound standalone does not allow any speaker volume hack.
Well, you could rise the amplifier. Also, in Voodoo sound, the option "Tune speaker for music" makes the sound less loud.

which amplifier do you mean?
the thing i can hardly understand is
if there is a routine through which overall volume can be amplified x 20 levels (such in Volume+) -sometimes at cost of crashes or brickings, naturally!-
why is the code not of public domain?

[Q] Equalizer settings or Clear Audio+?

Hello everybody,
I just want to know which setting you prefer?
For me Clear Audio sounds pretty good, but what are your opinions?
my headphones (sennheiser cx 400 ii precision) pushes high freqs very strong. So it hurts my ears when using clear audio+
it sounds very well, but is way too loud. I have to use eq instead. sounds well, too! but it is much more quiet...
hope, some cool dev will fix that, so that we will be to use eq in comb. with clear audio:highfive:
For now im sticking with ClearAudio+ as its probably the best auto equalizer ive ever used
It depends on what you listen with and what you listen to.
For more 'modern' music on less high-end headphones ClearAudio+ is probably pretty nice. It widens the stereo and gives both lows and highs some extra push.
However, if you listen to jazzier or classical music and with higher-end equipment things get out of hand pretty quickly with ClearAudio+ (or with any strong equalizer).
VPT Surround on the Studio setting is pretty nice though, I like using that one.
I must be the only one who thinks clear audio isn't that great, its louder than the EQ but it is not very good for bass imo.
I use the eqaulizer with first scale on -10, second scale on -3, third scale on +3 , forth scale on +10 and fifth scale on -10, clear bass on +10 and studio setting on, Thats how I get the best sound for bass which is what I prefer in all my songs.

It's not that great for boosting lows, but it does a great job of leveling the whole spectrum with enchancements, dynamic range compression and virtual surround. I'm not saying it's great and amazing - but as far as auto-equalizers go, this is by far the best one.
But if you have specific needs - like stong low boost - then as R89 said, it might not be the best choice for you.
I prefer Equalizer settings it suonds good on my headphones
plus you can also find many eq settings on xda
I listen to predominantly rock, heavy metal, punk, grunge and the sort for which Clearaudio (as much as I do like it for listening to things like Lana Del Ray) is far to overboard to even try to listen for any length of time without some serious ear bleeding.
That said, I'd take it over HTC's BEATs junk anyday.
What is your opinion on using clearaudio+ for techno music ?? Does it "kill" high frequency sound ? or just lowers it?

Walkman EQ setting

I just spent hours creating new playlists and transferred all music to Z1. I want to squeeze out best possible sound quality. Please share your EQ setting. I just started playing around with it and haven't found the right setting yet.
EQ Settings highly depend on the speakers/ headphones you use, because every setup is balanced differently.
Just play around with it, as far as audio goes there is no right or wrong, as long as you like the sound!
Hi, I'm an audiophile bro. I suggest you to just leave the eq off. Artists have spent so much time in the studio to create the perfect sound that they want you to hear.
It depends on your taste and music genre, I mostly listen to electronic dance music and setting the bass on 6+ makes that kind of music much better imo.
I'm using Poweramp pro but remember to turn off all the Walkman sound effects first as they sort of compile on top of each other making poweramp harder to setup
and leaving everything to default settings is fine if you are in a studio and using their sound equipment - the EQ setting can compensate for a poor set of earphones or if on a hifi system can alter setting to suit equipment and the room accustics - none of us will have a studio soundstage

ClearAudio+ and Dynamic normalize is the best for me.

Best EQ setting
Hi Sitti,
Squeezing out the best possible sound quality depends on the headphone you are using. If you have got a normal headphone, you need to play around with the EQ to get the best possible sound output. And, if you are using audiophile gear, you may not need to do any settings at all!
I will give you an example :-
I own a Sony Xperia M Dual. The default headphones which comes along with it are quite decent enough, with a dominant bass line. I am kind of an audiophile, I don't like too much bass. So, I have tweaked the EQ settings in the following way to get the best possible sound out of it :
Clear Bass Level : +7
Equalizer (left to right) - -3 +3 +4 -3 +2
Surround Sound - Studio
Clear Stereo - Off
Dynamic Normaliser - On
And, that's all! Trust me, you will love your music. Let me know.

Hi,
Please note that EQ settings are heavily dependent on the headphones you are using. Following EQ settings are according to my audio gear that I use. Believe me, they sound amazing! A bit closer to true audiophile gears!
My device : Sony Xperia M Dual
Headphone : Sony MH410C
EQ settings :
Clear Bass level : +10
Equalizer (left to right) : -4, +4, +4, -3, +3.
Settings :
Surround Sound : Studio
Clear Stereo : Off
Dynamic Normalizer : On
Happy Listening!
Another best EQ setting
Phone : Sony Xperia M Dual
Headphone : Sony MDR E818
Equaliser settings :
Clear Bass : +10
EQ (left to right) : 0 +2 +3 -3 +3
Settings :
Surround : Studio
Clear Stereo : Off
Dynamic Normaliser : On
Enjoy your music!
Well if you REALLY want to get the best possible sound out it I suggest getting the AC!D Sound Engine MOD.
Makes everything sound nice and clear with awesome bass. I have it on my Z1s and couldn't be more happy.

I use Denon ah-d600 and I listen to metal.. Without any bass...to get enough I put the tru bass to 4.. And when I listen to music with bass in it I turn it down to zero...
Good headphones does not need eq... The equalizer destroys the sound to my ears

Thanks for the response.
If you feel male vocals lack warmth and depth, just increase the 400Hz from (-3) to 0., but not more than that, as it will introduce unnecessary hum.
If you feel too much bass, just decrease the Clear Bass level accordingly.
That should do it.

Volume+ (Speaker Boost)

After long search and many tries i finally found something that boosts our speaker!! I'm posting some alternatives too to make it more like a debate thing!
I've created a thread because i really want everyone to share thoughts on this.
1- Volume + (Simplest)
Stock rom 4.0.4 but i think will work on any rom.
Don't expect clear sound because as it messes with bass so for better audio use headphones or an iPod .
Simply install the attached apk on the thread (no need to change stock audio_effects.conf)

That's not true, our tab actually has a quite decent speaker quality because of the WM8994 chip. Its just Samsung that messed up the volume so you can't feel it.

Thank you for the response but yes i've tried ViPER4Android, i tried Voodoo also and although it gives a boost of sound when it's in the middle range it doesn't get louder when it's on max volume then the stock.
The clarity of sound is obvious and gives a lot of customization but i really wanted an higher speaker to use when i am on noisy ambients. With Volume+ we get that with simple turn on/off and setting it to 12 it gives us at least 50% of amplified sound not losing much quality.
Perhaps with all that costumization i'm missing something, can you please share your settings?
I'll redraw op.
Thanks

Why when I use a secondary music app [Shuttle + Pro] It always say ''Unfortunately, DSP Manager has stop''? Cause the EQ to turn off by itself after a couple of songs?

Works! I feel the quality more if I use the headset than when I use the speaker. What do I do with DSP manager? since it always crashes, is it ok to freeze using Titanium Backup Pro, is there no effect to ViPER4Android if I freeze the DSP manager? sry for the load of questions :laugh:
Freeze-it!! You can always un-freeze-it
