Deep Bass on & off - Help Appreciated

Hey folks
Recently, I experienced the most fantastic audio quality, mostly from very deep, rich bass levels. But I ROM-hopped back and forth, and that superb bass has yet to show itself again. I tried applying the Beats Audio patch through Carbon Tweaks, which helped a little, but it's nowhere near where it was. So many people talk **** about Beats by Dre, but what I experienced with these Beats Tour in-ears would match many over-ears. So I'm wondering how to get that rich bass back? I have my Equalizer app's custom settings saved, ready to shine. Is this kernel based? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

What was the rom you were on when you experienced deep bass?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

It was the same ROM but with the latest CM9 stable kernel, which is why I suspect it to be a kernel issue.

Anyone?

I doubt it's kernel related, usually rom.

Hmm.. weird.

Hey, it's back now! I have great, deep, fatty overear-style headphones bass again in my Dre Tours! After effin' around with a CM10 based ROM and coming back to an old, more stable CM9 based nandroid backuped ROM. In fact, it's the exact same ROM / kernel I was on when I posted this thread. Wish I knew which switch to flip for the next time I lose this great bass. :-/

Glad it's back? So you're back on pa 0.5?
There's the equaliser dsp manager in pa, have a look and see if anything is set, perhaps that's where the extra tubes are pumping from.

Oh yeah, I'm absolutely stoked! I celebrated with some Massive Attack. Sounds brilliant! I checked through DSP and everything is off / disabled.

Low volume after updating to 4.2.2

Hello there
I have noticed that the speakers are now a lot quieter ever since I updated from the stock 4.1.2 to custom ROMs based on 4.2.2, specifically Android Revolution HD 10.2/10.3 as well as Trickdroid 7.5.0. I have tested the volume levels on both, and they are definitely much quieter than the volume was on 4.1.2. Is there a reason for that? I also checked on "PureX Audio" mod in AROMA installer on both custom ROMs in order to see if it makes a difference but I did not feel that it did, I could be wrong, though.
I am sure I read before that it is quieter on 4.2.2 and that there was a fix for it.
Thanks

I'm also facing the same problem.
Lower volume while using earphones.
The volume of the speaker is also lower during phone conversations.

I asked dis the ova day lol its because htc lowered volume levels on the update they must of felt they needed to tone it down

I have just downloaded update on stock and my volume is a lot quieter which is really annoying didn't warn you about that before updating the twats.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Volume sounds about the same to me, maybe a bit lower. Had AT&T 1.26 before flashing to unbranded 2.24. I know it was definately lower when the kernel source wasn't updated and devs had to use a hack to enable the in call speaker, which made the volume lower.

Is there a way to downgrade from 4.2 back to 4.1?

The newest version of volume+ on their site [beta I think] works with 4.2 to increase volume

Careful, I think HTC lowered it on purpose because they are having issues with blown speakers. Mine blew and I had to get a replacement phone from ATT. The tech said he's replaced many for the issue.

I'm on my 3rd (2nd replacement.) HTC One from Tmobile. Blown speakers all of them. This one is going too. Just not bad enough for me to go through the return hassle yet. I was not surprised to find this thread. I stayed stock, but i expect when tmo gets to 4.3, they'll have lowered the volume. So much for "Boomsound"!

ı dont hear anythıng when i use with headset. Sounds too low while listening music. You cant make call with headset because you dont hear other side. How can i find solution.
4.3 will be come at least 2 - 3 months later. And i think htc wont increase it.
boom sound is only reason to buy htc one. Now htc lowered up.

Sometimes it connects for a few seconds and drops connection, sometimes you get Authentication failure.

Going to flash 240 now what i could read out wifi is working there? Gone report later on. What changes to 10.1 except the bugs could u guys find, Anything better on the actual working stuff?
Sent from my X Phone using xda developers app

Yep 21st build can confirm still no Wifi and speakerphone still whistles... But they managed to change the boot screen so I guess its all good lol. Starting to lose patience with custom rom's now me. I posted an in depth idea back in August about CM10.1 about this speakerphone problem. About the top mic not being used and phone always using the bottom one which is next to the speaker and 99% sure this is what causes our whistles and echo problems. Nobody has given a reply as to why we can't try this as its what stock rom does - hit speakerphone and the bottom mic is disabled and top one only active. Devs seem more interested in fiddling with mic gains or reducing the speaker volume which is a bit of a cop out. What we really need is to not use the mic thats next to the speaker for speakerphone calls! Its never going to work properly without compromising something else like reducing volume or mic gain so the speaker won't feedback with the mic. Compare it to taking a picture towards a light. You can mess with exposure and white balance to get a picture but its never going to be what it would be if the light was behind you and not shining into the lens. Same for speakerphone. You're not going to be able to have volume up high, mic gain at optimum and the speaker and mic next to each other. It's just logical that the further apart they are the less they will interfere with each other...
Speakerphone bug quite winds me up really considering it is phones we are running these custom roms on and a simple issue with a phone function hasn't been resolved since mid August! Its like saying hey long as we have all these features and build from latest android source who cares if a basic phone function doesn't work when I think that should be the priority before adding all other bells and whistles (no pun intended).

OK so because people are so annoyed with this bug I'm going to post a fix to CM gerrit - it's up to the CM team whether they accept it.
I've known a fix for this for ages BTW - it's fixed in my Omni build - I just haven't bothered because of CM's attitude/my commitment to omni.
Plus Kali- et all the CM team have been busy with newer devices.

I will try tilals and aokp build tomorrow hope they work on dirt flash.
About cm10.2 wifi was working for 2 min and then it was gone. Havent found much changes in that short test. Also no dirt flash back to 10.1 possible. Had to wipe evrything.

Tilal you are a good guy! I've looked at changes and they look very promising just hope they get reviewed and added quickly so we can test a nightly. I knew there was more to snd_soc_msm than the volumes but I couldn't work out which DEC and ADC numbers to change to what... Is there any way to add these changes to a existing install so we don't have to wait for CM? I know you can edit snd_soc with hexeditor and reboot but it looks like your fix is dependant on other fixes as well? Like do CM have to implement your thermal fix and noise supression before the changed snd_soc will work as you intend? Sorry i'm not too familiar with gerrit and how all these patch sets get reviewed and tested I just try and bring peoples attention to bugs if I can think of a new solution to try.
Cheers, Matt

Thanks. I apologise that it did go on a bit but people have took it in the way I intended and tilal's fix seems to do a lot more than anyone else's so its a good result for the community. I'm back on FXP240 for now. I tried early build of Omni but it got me stuck in a bootloop for some reason. I had the bubbles boot screen and it just stopped there. When I tried to get back into recovery it wouldn't even do that so I ended up having to fastboot flash a new boot.img then my sdcard0 was corrupt so I had to adb push FXP240 back and it became annoying. Can't wait til the official omni nightly's start and i'll definitely be giving it a good once over. Don't mind the look of PACrom either that has a lot of customisation options if not a little too many. Hopefully Omni will be somewhere between CM and PAC in the end and we'll have a great all rounder to choose from.

[Q] BoomSound/Front Speakers, need help/advices

Hey guys,
I have my One since release day, or so. I did S-OFF and rooted it. I was really happy with the speaker volume level. But since a month or two, I noticed that they were WAY weaker. First, I didn't cared about it. I told myself, HTC will fix it, I guess. Well my guess was wrong. I work at Virgin Mobile, so I tried a stock one to compare the volume of both. I'd say mine is at LEAST 50% weaker than the stock one. I don't know if it's related to my firmware flashing or the kernel or/and ROM. I did flash to the latest firmware, wich is 3.62.401.1. Currently, I'm on ARHD 31.5, but I'm trying Insertcoin and RENOVATE (if Insercoin is ot working either).
Any ideas what happened? Maybe my speakers blowned up^

Is the stock phone you tried out at Virgin Mobile running 4.1.2?
Last I remember, HTC lowered the max volume threshold on the front speakers in the 4.2.2/4.3 updates to avoid causing any hardware damage from excessively loud volume. You can try using the soundmod PureXAudio (comes as an optional add-on in ARHD) to see if that increases quality/volume.

I have experienced this same thing, I don't think PureXAudio really makes a difference in overall loudness.

Our demo runs Jellybean 4.3. My boss's phone is on 4.3 too and sound louder than mine, maybe between mine and the demo one. I did tried PureXAudio, wich I think is a pretty darn good mod. Didn't worked. I wonder if I could flash 4.1.2 sounds drivers without making my phone going into a endless bootloop. I did try some mods, but I always ended with this damn bootloop.

[Q] Sound Quality?

Is there a ROM that has better sound quality in-call than stock? Everyone keeps telling me I sound awful.
I like the AOSP look, so I tried De-Sensed and Virtuous Inquisition, but they sound like crap. And everyone knows about CM's in-call problems.

You could give WildChild's modded stock sense rom a try. Google "WCXXPERIA", it's located in those forums now.

I am willing to bet you have a case on your phone...
Take the case off and see if the problem persists...
On stock... The noise canceling mic gives all kinds of problems... Or at least it did for me

I actually don't have a case, but I can assure you if I did, I would have tried that already.

i have been looking for the same thing but that is one problem with AOSP Roms but the best ROM i use with the best audio is the HOLICs ROM but it does have few bugs so i switched to Dirty Unicorn ROM and it works and audio isnt bad cuz you can adjust the audio with kernels
