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.

[Q] beats audio: software, hardware, both?

Actually 2 questions here about Beats Audio on the HTC One:
1. With respect to the phone itself (not the earphones) is Beats Audio purely software or is there also a hardware component to Beats (sound processor in the phone)?
2. Does putting a custom ROM on an HTC One mean you are giving up the benefits of Beats Audio? ie: custom ROMs don't take advantage of special hardware features, or from a software perspective you lose Beats software functionality...
(some may argue that there are any benefits to Beats Audio so maybe my questions are moot)

1) It's a software mod with a good hardware
2) If you will use a custom htc sense based you will have Beats.
It you will flash an aosp based you will lose beats, boomsound, zoe and other

so it sounds like i'll lose just the software mods. sad...i love the native ui, and really dislike sense. hopefully soon, there will be patches i can apply to my rom to get back the good software.
anyone know of any works in progress regarding this?

I think is impossible see boomsound, zoe and other one function on aosp based rom.
But someone can work on here...

[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.

Then maybe try kozmikkernel or faux kernel?

sound
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

[Q] SRS WOW FX on the HTC One

Hello there!
I am a happy owner of the HTC one, and love it dearly. However, there's that little 'jem' called beats audio sitting on top of those amazing dual frontal BoomSound speakers. This, needs yo stop. I had SRS on my HTC Desire S and loved it, but beats, not so much.
I was looking round in the system/lib/soundfx folder when I came across a file called "libsrsfx.so" indicating to me that my phone did indeed have SRS libraries included in the firmware.
Could anyone tell me how to activate this and turn off beats by 'Dr.' Dre?
Many thanks,
JJE990
PS: My device is non-rooted stock sense 5.5 running 4.3 Jellybean.

[Q] Aosp audio quality

Tried a couple of aosp based roms, namely aokp and cm11s and I've found the audio quality through the speaker to be far worse than with a Sense rom. It's tinny and much quieter.
Had this issue on my old One X plus and it was down to driver availability or lack of back in the day. Is this still the same situation with the One aosp based roms, driver issues causing the tinny and quiet sound through the speaker?
Thanks.

basically yes ... if you want to enjoy the full boomsound experience your going to need Sense

Any proven mods out there that might improve the volume/quality of the audio for aosp based roms, even just a little?
Thanks.

You could try Viper which alot of people use. I use Volume+ to increase the volume. Both work on every rom I have ever used.

Is that Viper4Android from the market?

I think they have it on the play store but I just use the thread here on XDA as it is a better source for updated apks and info.
