Hi. I am new to this forum, and I am also new in the realm of audio, so to speak. I have a Sprint HTC One, and I don't really like the sound of Beats all too well. I was wondering if Poweramp's EQ would damage the phone's speakers or if it is safe to use. I plan on using the presets, and I just want to make sure it is safe before I purchase the application.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Vobeyo
If you dont like beats, try turning it off to see if you like it better. If not, purchase poweramp and test it out for a few minutes. It shouldnt damage your speakers unless you over-do the preamp.
Thanks for the reply. Beats is all right, but it seems to only make things louder, not really better-sounding, if that makes any sense. Is there any control over the preamp in Poweramp? Please pardon my lack of knowledge, I am still learning.
Edit: I found the preamp control in Poweramp. If I turn it down will I be okay?

Hello,
I'm wondering what EQ settings are best for all types of music.?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Use your ears. Some people like to have a lot of bass, and some like to have small amounts or even none. Plug your headphones in and adjust it until you like how it sounds on different songs and genres.
I don't use EQ. Makes my life simple. The settings in Voodoo control is enough for my ears.

The ones picked by the recording engineer during the tracking session.
I prefer a flat EQ a well, but that is because I want to hear the track how the artists/engineers intend. I have ultimate ears triple fi 10 in-ears and they sound amazing. But it takes some getting used to the sound since most people are not used to hearing super clear mids and highs

Save up for decent equipment and use no EQ at all. DSP effects ruin sound fidelity. As mentioned above, get used to listening to music the way it was intended by the artists and sound engineers that recorded it.
And here I was staying on Cm7 just for the DSP manager

I add bass, lots of it, but maybe I should stop using DSP
also Alan, DSP can be had on any ROM I'm on touchwiz ATM
(If you download Root toolbox you can find it in the 'other ' section then flash it)

Hi all,
here for a month now I have this wonder, but I noticed that the speaker sound is low compared to Xperia S, Galaxy or Iphone, and sound with headphones is low.
Has anybody this problem?
A solution?
thank you
Thread moved. As it's your first post I'd just like to remind you that question threads have their own section here in Q&A. Please try to post in the correct sections going forward.
Thanks

Speaker kicks ass here and headphones
Use the Equaliser in walkman for songs, works wonders

Agreed, in my limited experience the T has great sound. My wife has sgs3, which is definitely a bit louder, but the quality of sound on T is possibly a bit better. Use equalizer as mentioned above, but you will get distortion if you push the base just a little higher, Sony seem to have focused on providing a fuller sound rather than just a loud one. You can also turn of xloud in sound settings to reduce distortion when volume is max.

Not sure if this is possible but if it is, I don't exactly know how to go about it. I'd like for beats to turn on only when I'm playing sound through the speakers. Not through headphones or through bluetooth. Only speaker. Whether in a phone call or YouTube. I imagine this could maybe be done through Tasker but I don't know how to go about it. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm pretty sure this is not possible. At least not with the stock rom.
Mmm I figured this would be a tough one. If anyone has any ideas, don't hesitate to share

If you download pimpmyrom from the playstore you can install a beats equalizer. It's very similar to dsp manager.

Other HTC roms in the past have had a toggle in the statusbar. Although I found out recently that sound out of the speakers was actually lower with beats on. It did sound deeper but not as loud and it's a pretty noticeable difference. On the other hand it makes headphones louder as you'd expect. I did install the Wildman kernel do I don't know if that has anything to do with it but I didn't turn beats off until after I flashed the kernel.
its possible with Tasker.

Have you done it or know how? I've been trying but am not familiar enough with tasker to figure how to set this up.
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
I'm probably in the minority here, but I REALLY enjoy Beats being turned on with Sense ROM's and I don't know if it's just an illusion but the music really does sound much more dynamic and impressive with it turned on. It's pretty much the only thing keeping me from dedicating myself to AOSP/AOKP.
So, I need to know if I'm going crazy or if the Beats software really is making that big of a difference. I wish I had an extra One with the same few tracks to test, but I don't.
In your experience, is Beats really making that much of an improvement, or has AOSP + DSP Manager been sufficient? Maybe an alternative to DSP Manager?

Beats extremely suck for electronic/rock/instrumental songs. They're pretty awesome for everything else Whether alternatives compare to it, no idea. Yet to unlock and root, gonna send mine back for a replacement for a faulty NFC chip~
In my opinion, beats is better
