Is PowerAMP the one for me? I use DoubleTwist right now, and it's got lots of issues. But it does let me get to some SomaFM Stations.
IMO Poweramp does not compare with any player on Output. its almost like they have muted the audio output on it. Its the only player that I have come across that does this.
Poweramp defaults to having the equalizer and tonal control on. Go into the Equalizer settings and unclick EQU and PRE and TONE. Once done the volume is equal to the Samsung music player at least for me. Poweramp is awesome simply because of that customizable equalizer.

Tried that.......no worky........I tried comparing the stock music app and Poweramp using your method, and any other setting I could find. Poweramp is aesthetically pleasing, but the sound quality isn't up to par with me.
The equalizer became obsolete with Voodoo Sound! Which is one of the greatest improvements to this phone. Thanks Supercurio!

That was my experience, as well. I tried a song at the same sound level with both and with PowerAMP I could hear some noticeable distortion. Sucked because I paid for it and am no longer using it.
Moved to proper forum.
Use voodoo app and power amp it is amazing

You might want to try the moto music app from here. It's loaded with tons of features. Auto looks up words for your songs while they're playing and highlights them as they're sung. Links to YT vids, has shoutcast, tune identification via sound hound (I believe), links to tunewiki, has sleep timer, and downloads songs. Doesn't have a equalizer though. IMO, the sound quantity and quality is comparable to the Samsung app. Oh, it's also free.

I tried pretty much ever music player out there and really was disappointed with many. Finally tried Music PlayerPro Trial, bought the paid version that same day it was soo good! By far the best player I have used with the most features/options.

I checked this one out after reading your post. It's a great music player! Hands down the best one I have yet found. Thanks for the info.
what are you guys talking about with poweramp sucking?
the default music app and playerpro don't even find my music because they are apparently unable to handle album-structure. what the hell? even IF their sound quality was better, i refuse to put all of my mp3s into one folder.
plus - when i first tried out poweramp yesterday, i was stunned by the sound. same equalizer settings as on my computer with soundblaster x-fi and winamp and it sounds a hint fuller. and it can push bass even further without distortion - i didn't even know my headphones were able to produce that and had to reduce it because while it worked, it didn't sound good any more.

Playerpro finds all my music in different folders with album structure just fine. Overall its the best out there with skins, equalizer, lockscreen widget, etc... well worth buying

Same here......... My SD card is fully structured as well.
It even links artist pics, and sorts the albums under the artist pics.
Overall its a great player. I like how there is a music player that actually integrates lyrics properly now.
If your having good luck with PowerAMP, then that's good for you! My overall experience with it wasn't good.
huh... i wonder what the problem is with my phone as i would like to compare these apps. but what the hell, poweramp works great and i don't want to spend hours figuring out what's wrong. -_-
Poweramp works great. For those that have problems with muted sound, you have to go into the equalizer and raise the settings. If this causes distortion, lower the pre-amp setting or turn off tone. I usually keep my pre-amp setting a third of the way up. Even close to half way will cause some distortion. I've tried every music app I could find on different speakers and poweramp is the best MUSIC player. Pro player is nice but eq doesn't compare to poweramp. Looks alone though, Proplayer is mighty pretty but I didn't spend $2000 in speakers for a pretty music app. Poweramp = best sound.
I use PowerAmp bc i like the widget best. The MotoMusic app thats on these forums is awesome though. Ijust like poweramps widget better

For listening to shoutcast (like somafm) I like Xiialive. But it only plays shoutcast, you have to use something else for playing local media

i was using XIIA until I found this.. this seems better IMO
Beats audio just isn't doing the job for me, I miss having DSP manager from CyanogenMod. Has anyone managed to get this working on their one?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I wonder this as well! DSP Manager doesn't seem to have any effect at all on my One.
It has always worked with my previous phones.
Poweramp works really well on the ONE and both Beats and EQ work together
Yes, it seems like it's not the One itself, but the Sense musik player.
DSP works with another music player I use.
I've been using the GPE ROM since the audio is better, and CM10.1, speaker buzzes at high volumes.
What's a good setting for DSP Manager to make it sound like Beats or not buzzy?
I'm running slimbean 7.2 when I was on 7.0 and previous builds DSP didn't work and audio was distorted at full volume but now on 7.2 DSP works and gain is lowered but can adjust with DSP, loving the crispness.
I'm using Apollo music player and works on Google play music too.

So with or without beats audio, if I'm not using the Google play music app then the sound quality is lowered and no manner of tinkering or equalizer fixes it. I'd like to use poweramp but the speaker quality and headphone quality sounds a lot worse.
PowerAMP has a fully loaded equalizer inside. Disable beats and go play with that to find a sound you like.
I want to use Poweramp, but the speaker and audio out quality is much lower than with google play music. Beats audio can be enabled or disabled for both of them, no matter the equalizer settings GooglePlayMusic always sounds better one my htc one. Can I do anything to get around this? It says the same songs are being played with the same quality and latency but the difference that's heard is obvious.
Hi
I bought Pixel 7 one month ago, I found in settings graphic sound equalizer and adjusted bass very high. A few days later I turn on music from my phone in my car and bass was too high. I tried to change this but I cannot find this graphic sound equalizer. This was in settings, not installed app. Anybody knows where it is?
You can only access the equalizer through a music app.
