[Q] what does Fauxsound really do? need explanation - Moto X Q&A

I am a little confused about fauxsound. These "gains" and "amplifier control" simply just adjust the audio volume right? and the right ratio or something will reduce background noise? All these settings don't really affect the music quality right? What is the difference between the digital, analog/poweramp, and the moto x-specific amplifer gain settings? thank you very much. some suggested settings would be nice

[Q] Volume too loud

Quick question...
As the title suggests, my device's lowest volume setting is still too loud if I want to listen to something in the background or want to take a snooze. Is there a way to either add more volume levels or lower the value of the levels? I'm running JPK and it's rooted.
Cheers.
download and install this

it should work with the BETA froyo
Thanks, but I already have Sound Manager installed, which does the same thing as Audio Manager, but has a cleaner interface and more control options. The problem is that neither of them do what I want... the lowest volume is still too loud.
I need to somehow adjust the increment value in code or add more increments to give me finer control.
Did you ever receive an answer on your volume issue. I have a galaxy 4G with the same issue and no one has answers?
Use voodoo control app from market, it adjust the analog amplifier.

Yes voodoo would be the best for you its just amazing....install it and you will love it....it makes your phone to the best mp3-player you can buy for money
Yep, use a kernel with voodoo sound. Or buy Supercurio's app in the market and support his work. The app gives you the option to adjust the analog gain, if the volume is too loud all you have to do is lower the gain and problem solved

Mp3's have terrible sound, you should consider ripping/downloading your music in .flac .

[Q] change sound volume "range"

Hey Guys!
Is there a possibility to change the range for the volume?
So that I can make sound louder/quiter than it would be possible normally.
My IncS IS rooted, so I have permissions to change something!
There are a few apps for it in PlayStore, just search "volume"
I tried a bunch of them, all crap, except dspmanager found around here somewhere. I got a slight increase of the volume and bass and ****, but sadly nowhere near what I wanted.
Strange that it is so hard to tweak this feature on this phone, on my Sensation dsp nearly blasted my eardrums and the siyahkernel works miracle on my galaxy s3 gt-i9300 ...

Thx for the answers!
I know DSPManager and all the other apps already...
DSPManager is the best of them, in sound increasing and eq, bass, ..., but its effect isn't really big, when you want to increase volume very much, like Huppen said...
Would it be possible (and more or less easy ), to look in the CyanogenMod repo after DSPManager source and write a own small app? App developing itself isn't that hard and the only 'big' thing is the increasing/decreasing of sound over/under the limits...

[Q] Equalizer settings or Clear Audio+?

Hello everybody,
I just want to know which setting you prefer?
For me Clear Audio sounds pretty good, but what are your opinions?
my headphones (sennheiser cx 400 ii precision) pushes high freqs very strong. So it hurts my ears when using clear audio+
it sounds very well, but is way too loud. I have to use eq instead. sounds well, too! but it is much more quiet...
hope, some cool dev will fix that, so that we will be to use eq in comb. with clear audio:highfive:
For now im sticking with ClearAudio+ as its probably the best auto equalizer ive ever used
It depends on what you listen with and what you listen to.
For more 'modern' music on less high-end headphones ClearAudio+ is probably pretty nice. It widens the stereo and gives both lows and highs some extra push.
However, if you listen to jazzier or classical music and with higher-end equipment things get out of hand pretty quickly with ClearAudio+ (or with any strong equalizer).
VPT Surround on the Studio setting is pretty nice though, I like using that one.
I must be the only one who thinks clear audio isn't that great, its louder than the EQ but it is not very good for bass imo.
I use the eqaulizer with first scale on -10, second scale on -3, third scale on +3 , forth scale on +10 and fifth scale on -10, clear bass on +10 and studio setting on, Thats how I get the best sound for bass which is what I prefer in all my songs.

It's not that great for boosting lows, but it does a great job of leveling the whole spectrum with enchancements, dynamic range compression and virtual surround. I'm not saying it's great and amazing - but as far as auto-equalizers go, this is by far the best one.
But if you have specific needs - like stong low boost - then as R89 said, it might not be the best choice for you.
I prefer Equalizer settings it suonds good on my headphones
plus you can also find many eq settings on xda
I listen to predominantly rock, heavy metal, punk, grunge and the sort for which Clearaudio (as much as I do like it for listening to things like Lana Del Ray) is far to overboard to even try to listen for any length of time without some serious ear bleeding.
That said, I'd take it over HTC's BEATs junk anyday.
What is your opinion on using clearaudio+ for techno music ?? Does it "kill" high frequency sound ? or just lowers it?

[Q] Volume Reduction (Yes, reduction...)

Morning all,
probably not an issue with most people, but often I want to watch some videos, or the highlights in the gallery and I find that the lowest volume is at too high a level.
Is there anyway of overall reducing the system output level without root and/or custom rom? Would appreciate any thoughts to help out
Thanks
Jonny
Turning off beats reduces the volume.
try downloading the equalizer app or any setting app that has the capability of adjusting the volume.
Agreed, the lowest volume is too loud. Will try some EQ apps, Btw is there a toggle for beats audio?
Yes, the toggle is in the top level in the settings, as in not in a sub menu. I did try to disable beats but to my ears it didn't make any difference, or at least not enough.
I thought that equalisers were tied to a particular player app, rather than system wide, but will see if I can find any.

I wasn't talking about the equalizer option of any music player What I mean was the app "Equalizer" from google play

[Q] Faux sound control

Is anybodu also using Faux Sound control?
Up to now I did not have problems with it but now I try to use it for
changing the left-right balance on the headphone speakers.
When using VLC or the built-in music player ypu do not seem to
have control over the balance, I know some other aps like Poweramp
do have this control but I do not like to add another app.
So then I remembered I'm already using the Faux sound control app.
Up to now I was using it for setting up a silent, loud or quality profile.
But with the custom profile you can change all the settings yourself.
So first of all I tried to change the analog g ain controls because I'm using the headphones with the audio jack but this did not help.
So then I changed the Digital gain controls, but when lowering the left or the right channel the result was that both of them went to the lowest volume.
In the sound control app they had a separate setting but in real life they took the lowest of both volumes.
I know I should ask this on Paul Reioux the creator of the app but I cannot find his email or support for his apps.
