Can we port over beats audio to this device?
Voodoo is all we need. Poweramp helps a bit too. Beats is just a marketing name that has no real advantage. Trust me you don't want what they got.

I think its more hardware than software. If possible would be outstanding.

Voodoo + Rockbox + Turn on Crossfeed + FLAC + Yuin PK3 = Eargasm
This rockbox?

Yep...GUI might not appealing to most though.
I think personally with voodoo controls and my beats earbuds it sounds better than my cousins iphone4.

We want beats audio lol. Would like to try it on NS.
My HP touchpad has that stupid Beats audio and it sucks. My Nexus S with sony headphones (MDR-ex300sl) and Voodoo + DSP Manager sound wayyyyy better than Beats.

No "we" don't. Beats is nothing but anecdotal garbage.
All "Beats Audio" is, is a multiband compressor much like all the other "audio enhancement" crap (i.e Creative X-FI Crystalizer, Alpine's Media Expander, Sony's DM+ Advanced, etc), making certain frequencies louder at the cost of others. Which incidentally reduces both clarity and soundstage. Unfortunately, human hearing can sometimes perceive louder volume as better sound.

Particularly in the case of beats, and bass is pumped up at the severe cost of mid and high tones. Which is why I don't use my wife's beats headphones.

NS w/Voodoo is better than Sensation w/Beats. I can't wait to come back to Samsung.

I don't know .. i think maybe i'm doing something wrong .. when i plug-in my Nexus to the car via AUX cable then the bass is so hard .. treble is good then i plug-in my friends HD7 with SRS on and it's SOOOOOO much better or is it just my placebo?
I have Voodoo installed with the bass boost on :S

Can anyone point me towards the "best" Voodoo sound settings. It should be good for loudspeaker and headsets.
The title says so... Any recommends?

Are you looking for an overall one, or just one with playing music? I love the equalizer built into PowerAMP (I mainly use it for an audio gain), and I also use DSP manager, but only to boost vocals from my phone speaker. Other than those two, I don't use anything else.

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.

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)..

sry for the stupid question: does voodoo/beats also take effect on the regular speakers or only on headphones? Thx!

Hurmm.. normal speakers, nah.. to me it just amplify the sound a bit.. if u r using normal headphones or earphones, try Philips brand.. so far the best i used compare to other brands..

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.

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.

I had already deleted DSP Manager with TiBU, loving Viper. My Vivid sounds like a high-end stereo now.
Thanks!

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
The phone is excellent so far, but the sound is really low and not one equalizer is working. Can someone provide me with a working Equalizer for the HTC Vivid? I've tried Music Equalizer, Volume + and Equalizer.

None will work.. Audio on the htc vivid is a pain in the ass. If you're looking for an EQ for music use power amp

This doesn't work either.... Is there really not one app that can boost the audio of the vivid? Why is the speaker so damn low? Is there a custom rom out there with louder speakers for the vivid?

The only... And I mean only thing that ever worked... Was the beats toggle on the bone stock ROM...
And the bears toggle was the worst sounding thing... I always left it off

I got 2 Vivids (well, 1 Vivid and 1 Raider) and on both the sound is good on rooted stock ICS and on the Darkraider ROM.
I got no problems at all on phone or speaker volume.
