[Q] Which settings for audio files (and audiophiles)? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I'm coming from a Defy and I've just bought an XZ.
I've noticed that the ringtones/notifications/alarms that I've used on my old Defy sound weak on the XZ.
Can anyone help with the settings for mp3 (or other) audio file types that would be best suited to the XZ's?
Should I be using a specific file type for ringtones and notifications?
Would there be a difference if the bitrate is changed?
I find that the default Xperia tone is enough to suit my needs.
Thanks in advance

everyone will tll you differently, I for one think PureXmod doesnt really help MUCH. I unlock my Bootloader, install doom kernel and download faux sound, set speaker to 8-9 and it is awesome, I compare to my S3 and the sound is more clearer, sometime it clip but rarely, dont over do it and it will works wonder.

[SOLVED] Speaker Sound Problem! App available

Hi there,
have somebody tried the DSP SoundManager? I extracted this one from the CyanogenMod ROM and get a little bit better sound...
May you want to try it! Maybe there is a forward developed version of this, so please post it!
Regards, Andi
I can't notice any difference. I had the speaker on hi then installed it pumped up the settings and it made no difference.

Same here ..
I'm new here and with no experience, but maybe we need rooted device to work?! It would be nice to hear navigation while driving..
I have a rooted device. But I don't hear any difference.
Moved to Themes and Apps
Cheers,

no way
Downloaded and installed no difference at all.
What I have to understand is why POWERAMP with its settings (equalizer set to loud speaker value) has a far better volume than the stock music player.
If we can get its way to do that an app like the one in this thread may work.
May be poweramp just modifies in realtime the mp3 values I don't know really we need to investigate.
Youtube for example has a very poor volume altough the copilot using SVOX TTS voices (with SVOX volume at 200) is good enough.
I think is just the kernel I don't understand why the quality is so bad with some features and so good with others....
hmm i just watched a video from htc. and the introduce a feature that the device recognize where it is, for example in your pocket or backpack and if you get a call it will raise the speaker volume...
but i dont know if its just to the maximum which probalby everybody has set or if you can go over this limit...
Here is working version of DSP manager.
its a start, but i think this workaround creates some other problems... for my self, i just increased the volume of my ringtone and it worked as well.
hopefully this dspmanager workaround gets updatet or even htc will take care of it...

[Q] How to get enhanced quality music audio from Galaxy mini??

I m a Huge music lover and always search how to get better quality sound from my galaxy mini.. Can anyone suggest me any app or any kind of hack/tweak to improve audio quality?? I have tried the following apps:
Musicfx
equalizer
dsp manager
poweramp
Plzz help me.
Mini sound is not so good ...
What about loud sound apk...

(only for rooted phone)

Dsp Manager from CM7 works very well. Phone speaker it's much louder and the sound quality it's better. For headset there are multiple sound/effects settings, that makes sound quality best. At least for me it sounds nice.
guys.. i dnt want loud sound. i just want quality music. and i have tried dsp manager but it was not impressive for me.
I said sound quality is improved too, at least for me i see the difference. What you want more from this low budget device? You can't improve sound quality with some software more than your sound chipset supports. So, you can't get some crystal sound with just a software, i make the difference from stock ROM without DSP and CM7 with DSP and it's a noticeable change of sound. I think it's the best you can get.

Buddy cool down.. If u want to hear the best sound from this device then flash the andro-id rom and install dsp manager and musicfx simultaneously.. then try any non-stock music player which supports both dsp manager and musicfx. Then go in dsp manager settings and choose acoustic as its eq. and choose studio as its surround.. then open musicfx and drag the 3d sound effect to its max.. Then play any sound, u will notice that crystal clear sound. But still i want more.

Yea.. m from Patna..
I have a name for people who say that S5570 has poor music quality - %@#^
I have use nokia XpressMusic 5130 earlier and X2 too. Sould quality with Froyo on 5570 was not very good, but 2.3.4 KPK + poweramp gave very good results - better than what I got on XM.
Yeah - Indian classical - shobha gurtru (!!!!) Bhimsen Joshi MS, Pt. Jasraj, etc. (Now, you will recoil from me, right?)
But on my phone, I need to ensure that the audio jack is not pushed in too deep. (No, I do not use the speaker for listening to music).

GT S5570 has better audio quality with stock GB rom than the Nokia phones I have used so far. (and the nokia ones were meant for music lovers).
But my audio jack (headset jack - the 3.5mm one) -- errr ... the socket for the jack on the phone ... has some problem - pushing the jack in too much means poor audio quality. Was cursing the phone for couple of weeks and was keeping silent because of the "5570 has bad music" kinda feed back on most forums. This, till one fine day I found that I should not push in the jack fully - leave 2 / 3 mm of its lentgh outside.
Am I the only facing this problem?
Use dspmaneger+musicfx+good Bluetooth headsets.
TRY THIS !!!
Using Root Explorer Navigate to /system/lib ..
There you will find a file named libaudioeffect_jni.so
Replace that file with the file attached below !
And set permissions to rw-r--r-- ..
REBOOT !
you wil get an bit improved quality in stock music player with ROCK preset !!
I FOUND THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM!
First I was using Gingerbread and i tried accessing the service mode
*#197328640#*
as i pressed audio [5] its not working..
So i changed to Froyo... ( Downgraded )
Upon clicking Audio selection i was able to change the settings under selection
number 5 which is the Audio.

For this device, what music corrector ? Acid...

I don't know
Tapnięte z mojego S Advance ☺
I have it like this with Samsung stock earbuds:
First i have PowerAmp (paid) as my music player but the Apollo from CM (free on Playstore) also does the job, i like the Folder browser in Poweramp thats why i use it the most.
Viper4Android is my Equalizer its in my opinion a lot better than most audio packs i have used (acid, xloud, beats, etc)
"Carnage 2.0" profile This is the profile i use, that thread has loads of them but since i use the stock samsung earbuds this is the one i most like, of course i have played with some settings to make the profile more to my personal choice.
In both profiles and the Viper app theres an option called Impulse Response Sample, i think they "emulate" the output of several things like dac's headset and earphones...theres also others that are "improved versions" of i.e. a pair or beats but those are recomended ONLY if you have them...(if im wrong please correct me) you can download my IRS pack from here
I also have the Viper4Windows on my pc and its simply awesome.
And acid what work ?
I know, my english is
Tapnięte z mojego S Advance ☺
I also wanted to use acid on my phone, but didnt work properly. Don't remember wich version it was cause it was some time ago. If any1 knows the the right version of AC!D for our phone that'd be awesome.

[Q] Best Sound mods on stock rom?

Hello ! As you all know Sound quality has been terrible on our Z1 since Lollipop came out and Sony has done nothing to fix it so now i have gotten enough and i wanna do something about it myself. I have been reading lots about sound mods and have been comparing them with others but i cant seem to find good one to fit my purposes so i decided to ask here. Im not looking for stereo mod or anything speaker related or like that, i just wanna get the true power what it is capable to produce to my headset like on KK and to be able to adjust the equalization and bass etc like we used to before Walkm... i mean Music app sound enchantments stopped working.. i have XPhonePlus Module from XPosed to enable old audio modes but its currently broken or something since doesnt work...
So basicly im looking for audio mod that:
- Brings back the volume that we had in KK. (In LP its much lower volume.)
- Makes equalization working again. (After LP, had never worked, not in Music beta or the not beta one)
- Makes surround work again (--||--)
- As good bass without losing quality as possible
- Being able to keep the sound enchantments in other apps too not just music app
- Works on stock rom
- As stable as possible, im not really good updater.
- Needs to be able to change settings on the fly. (on LP sometimes equalizer settings take effect on reboot)
I know all my requirements arent necessary possible but just something that way !
I have Bluetooth headset and wired one and i use both so it needs to work on both. i listen mostly electronic so extra bass related mod is never a minus. Im not looking to change music app since i like it so that is not an option.
Im taking suggestions and im gonna pick the best one based on popularity and comments so please share your favourite mod here an i will check it out !
Also im a noobie so i might need instructions i have root ofc and nuts recovery and xposed. im on .270 5.0.2 LP
@migidid
I'm gonna try to answer :3
1. Edit your mixer_paths.xml, need root, there is also many guide in XDA
2. Equalizer works correctly, I don't know why you have such problem xD
3. Surround works too, but only when using headset/headphone.
4. This need headset/headphone with nice sound range too, you can +bass from stock Equalizer, I'm used Poweramp and Poweramp equalizer + Sony equalizer
5. Sony Sound Effect have a global effect for your speaker and also from another sound media too, but I don't know about surround effects (didn't try this so much) xD
EDIT: It's works on Poweramp, just tested it :3
EDIT2: It's not working on Poweramp, it's "blank" sound, sorry xD
EDIT3: Got a fix, must disable Direct Volume Control and enable MusicFX and you will get Surround Sound effect xD
6. I'm on Sony stock L ROM build .270, rooted
7. Nothing bads, if you know what are you doing xD
8. Sony Equalizer no need reboot to take effect, it's immediate :3
I don't like use Viper or another Sound Mod like that, it's useless (for me), since Sony already have in build Sound Effect. I'm only used nice headphone (not high res), modified mixer_paths.xml and Poweramp. :3
