Audio. - Nexus 7 General

OK I haven't yet rooted my nexus 7 16gb wifi only tablet yet. I use it a lot to watch videos Just seems like the audio is low. Now I'm just wondering if there is a hack or something that could help increase the volume but not to much to harm the speakers. If someone could help me it would be easier great.

Try xbmc, when you watch a movie go to the inscreen option for audio right bottom. There you can boost volume

use viper4android fx

[Q] Speaker audio mod?

I was just wondering if there is a mod or perhaps a kernel that addresses the poor audio volume you get when playing a youtube video or anything involving the speaker on the rear of the phone. I strain just to hear the audio. Ringtones sound okay but video playback is almost worthless as I have to hold the phone up to my head half the time just to hear it.

[Request]Beats Audio Software?

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.

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.

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.

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

+1 Beat audio in p1000 would be great. I am using Voodoo sound + poweramp which is great but would like to explore beat audio in my GT p1000.
+1
For couple of days, I have been testing several music players combined with voodoo sound + audio equalizer pro using supplied samsung headphone. First, I installed voodoo sound, then audio equalizer pro and tried it on poweramp. In poweramp I switched on equalizer, tone and Limit but I kept Bass and trible volume to zero. The sound was good but not compact. Then I tried the same on ttpod and N7 music player which to score less than poweramp. Finally, I tried on Neutron music player and I was amazed at the compact sound it delivers. My phone is galaxy tab p1000 with overcome rom and I set the minimum cpu to 400 becos even at 200 mhz, some times the sound has glitches. This is my new finding which i would like to share to all music lover who are using p1000. If someone has better experiences with music sound quality, please share it. I play around with the settings to get the best out of it. If someone would like to know my setting, I will share
Hi friends,
Search beats audio installer in Google play and try, but you should have custom kernel.
I didnt try. But if you try, try in your risk. Sorry, I didn't test.

Yea it does. I've tried pretty much everything (acid audio, king beats, beats louder) and in my opinion, the combo in pimp my ROM is the best. I do the bravia engine2, pimp my beats, and xloud clear audio
I've been using Awesome Beats by ...Awesome... setup is tricky at first but the customization is amazing. Using BT with Jbl On Tour and beats ear buds. Pandora, Walkman, Google Music, SiriusXM all sound amazing. Just gotta pay $4 and you get updates as he rolls then out.

I beg to differ, I know for a fact the x-loud mod modifies audio lib files for louder and better sounding music and notifications, it also has various other modifications to unleash the quality of music while impacting battery life ever so slightly.

Agreed.. You can add all the new libraries etc all you want because in the end what really matters is the DAC and if the DAC sucks, so will your audio quality and the Tegra DAC is awful.. But what do you want for a $250 tablet. ?
For my car I use my Nexus 7 and use my headunits EQ for dealing with the bad tegra DAC
For a walkman I use my Nexus S because it has a wolfson DAC and it's absolutely incredible and no EQ needed as it actually makes it worse
For home audio (when not playing through my PC) I use my Nexus 10 which also has a wolfson DAC and is incredible and no EQ needed as it actually makes it worse.

AwesomeBEATS has 3 dynamic compression settings, 3 levels of beats boost and room size adjustments along with beats eq settings, and they are all fully functional. His install also includes his v5 install that allows all system sounds to be tweaked to your liking. No, not just equalizers.

That looks similar to dsp manager from cm, a little TOO similar....
Looks like BS to me, like most of these sound mods going around, ESPECIALLY ones that use beats to market themselves.
Beats is Sh*t.
Edit: just had a quick look there and it's plain to see that this beats whatever is a blatant rip off of dsp manager.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Best audio you can get from an N7 is not to use it for serious audio purposes. Use something else if you're serious about sound. It will never be good, no matter what mod or headphones.
Dang someone's critical. It's not the same lib files check out how many modified dsp managers you can find and get back to me. I just appreciate that it works as promised.

I use the Fiio E11 coupled with a pair of Audio Technica m50s for hardware, and Neutron for my player. While they are right about the Nexus 7 not being able to create audiophile level quality sound, my ears enjoy this setup. YMMV
I like the nexus 7 sound. Use poweramp, a great set of wesc cans, and use FLAC files for all my tunes. Can`t complain at all.

If you really want quality sound w/headphones, otg cable to external DAC is the way to go! Need to be rooted and have the poitee, trinity 7 or Timur's Kernel. Much better with a decent DAC than any equalization or software mod. I'm listening to Joe Lovano's latest album right now on my Shure SHR-940's ->FiiO e10-> USB otg -> N7. Sounds really good.

How do we make the headphone volume louder?

Contemplating picking up an AT&T N3, but I know the headphone volume is extremely low. Is there a way similar to volume mods that can make the freaking headphone volume go louder? The volume seems horribly low on this device with several different pairs of headphones. I know the T-Mobile variant is just as low, but they can flash volume mods on theirs.
Install poweramp from the playstore... go into the equalizer settings and boost the preamp level and adjust the others to suit your liking. Save it as a preset and apply it to the audio outputs of your choice..

Thanks, but does that actually make the headphone genuinely louder like flashing a volume mod?
Yeah I need this two. Movies play so softly on the headphones.

Ditto. Very good program.
I've just found a VERY GOOD APP that is WAY better than POWERAMP : TTPod ( no need to root the phone )
It really helps enhance the sound quality via bluetooth in my car. Try it out.
