SoundEnhancer

Anyone have the HTC SoundEnhancer app working on Mango?
I notice its not in the Marketplace with 7720.

Well I can instal it but it doesn't work like in NoDo >_> I guess it's driver related.

Mine works much better with mango. It won't show up in marketplace unless you type it in the search toolbar, then it will pull up.

It actually works? I don't notice a difference and I am using Sennheiser headphones o_o

Yes I notice a difference just off of some cheap skullz headphones.
Not a huge difference, but enough to enhance the music.

What settings are you using? I tried Dolby, SRS and the equalizer...using Sennheiser headphones PX100.

This one puts the soundenhancer in the phone settings.

If I do that, the music becomes louder, nothing more. It doesnt change anything about the quality.

Go to phone (phone tile) ajust the volume from there.

Audio/Video not in sync!

I am running a bell HTC one rooted w twrp installed.
I have noticed that YouTube and other internet video either on WiFi or data has quite a bit of delay to the video vs the audio.
It's Very distracting as the audio is prob 1/2 sec ahead of the video.
Beats on or off doesn't change anything
power saver on and off doesn't matter either
else have this problem.

I have this issue as well... it seems to come from using Bluetooth. Once you view a video with a Bluetooth device attached the audio will be a half second ahead. This will remain the case until you let it play out of the speakers... if you immediately plug in a headset it will continue with the out of sync video. Once it plays from the speakers it'll line up again, then you can plug in headphones and it'll still line up. I cannot believe I have read 50+ reviews of this device and not a single mention of this issue. This is a deal breaker for me so now I don't know if I should return it.

even after i disconnect bluetooth the audio is still out of sync. I havent tried turning off bluetooth all together though.

[Q] Does Your Audio Effects Work?

I'm convinced the Audio Effects does nothing. Doesn't matter if it's Speaker or Wired Stereo, I hear no difference in audio settings if I change them or turn them off and on again. I can't remember if they actually worked in 4.2x, but they sure don't seem to do anything in 4.4.
Can someone confirm that, in fact, you hear a difference?

I hear a major difference. Audio quality goes way down if I turn on audio effects while using headphones. It's night and day. I have no idea why Motorola enabled them by default.

it's just an app, right? i can't imagine my phone being defective because there's no difference in audio when switching the settings. i'm completely stock, so i don't know what the issue is.
i'll open an incident with moto if i have to, just wanted to get a consensus.

ok hold the phone... maybe it's just slacker. doing some more testing, but apparently the settings do nothing to slacker audio quality.

It works for me on stock 4.4 with Google Play music. I hear a pretty tangible difference on all settings. Maybe try turning the lower frequencies all the way down/up (on custom settings) then toggle and see if that makes a difference.
Thanks for mentioning this; I've turned it off. Always thought my music sounded a little off on my usual IEMs.

I've actually never gotten it to work with anything on mine. Play Music, Pandora, Podcast Addict, etc. all don't work. I think I've only gotten it to work with poweramp when I was testing it but I use poweramp's own DAC so that's the only app I don't need it for.

[Q] screen turns on when skipping tracks on google play music.

Anyone have this problem when the phone is connected via Bluetooth to my car and I'm listening to Google play music, when I skip a track using the radio it wakes the screen.

I get this as well when I use Bluetooth headphones. So annoying. Another annoyance of Lollipop.
Did you find a cure?

Frustrating to say the least. Does Google actually test their software anymore?

Disable ambient display. The screen will stay off when skipping tracks.

Youtube Music suddenly runs without any interaction

Hello everybody,
First of all : Happy new year !
I own a Pixel 4 XL running a stock ROM with the bootloader still locked (I actually don't flash my phones anymore since I'm a team Pixel member haha). I use Android Auto very often because of my job.
Here is my problem : Since the december update (I guess) when I disconnect my phone from my car (using the cable & bluetooth), and put my phone in my pocket, the song from the last music suddenly runs very loud (max volume) even if I manually stop the music player beforehand. I tried a lot of things to stop this problem that seems very random : I cleared the YT Music cache, I disabled motion sense gestures, I even did a factory reset but the problem is still here.
I have to think every time I get out of my car to low the volume before this bug comes out..
Have you encountered that problem ? Do you guys have any idea that could help me ?
Thanks in advance !

Nobody can help me ?

I don't know, what does team Pixel say?
I don't think there is a solution and you aren't alone. I don't use YT for audio, but all music apps have the same pain in the ass behavior because they don't close automatically and most often you have to use "recents" to kill them off. This is the same with Spotify and Pandora. I find myself having to close AA itself sometimes because it stays open long after I've left the car. Sometimes 20 minutes later I look down and notice it is still running. If it can start up automatically when BT connects, or even when "hearing" driving noises like the engine, the reverse should be true. You turn the car off, unplug, exit the vehicle WHY does it continue running? Not one of the top 3 music apps will kill itself.

Thanks for answering !
I actually didn't know anyone else would have the same problem so this is reassuring me hah
Yes that is so annoying having your phone waking up with music with the volume toaximum whereas 10 minutes ago you thought you did everything to shut it up

I think I've had this happen literally once and I do use YouTube Music. Have never had it replicated. Is it still happening with the happened with the January update?

Unfortunately, yes it still happens despite the last update. The only thing that seems help me avoiding the problem is when I manually stop the music in my car before unplugging the phone. Then, for safety I put the media volume to the minimum so if the music starts again in my pocket, I won't hear it.

Interesting, so you're connected via Bluetooth to your car, turn off the ignition, and it'll still be playing? At that point, that's when my YouTube Music pauses.

Actually no. I plug my P4XL to my car through USB then it connects via Bluetooth and Android Auto runs on my car's screen. Everything work fine. When I'm arrived, I unplug my phone, turn of the ignition and the sound normally stops and YTM pauses. But something like 10 minutes later, when I'm far from the car, the last song I was playing in the car restart through the phone with absolutely no interaction on it.

I have a similar problem. I drive a lot throughout the day and Stream SiriusXM on my Phone through the BT on my work van. Very often, I get out and within an unspecified period of time, Sirius will start playing, full volume for no reason. It's as annoying as the Google Assistant suddenly responding to something I said without me using the OK Google prompt.
The fix is to close Sirius and swipe away the player controls in the status bar dropdown

Thanks for your feedback ! I don't have the Google Assistant problem you have but the exact same problem for the media. So it's not due to YT Music or Sirius. It's an overall media problem.
Unfortunately, I can't close the app because when I unplug the phone, YouTube Music isn't even open. And swiping right the player controls doesn't seem to work.
The only thing that seems to work is to stop the stream through Android Auto before turning off the engine and unplugging. But I have to think every time I leave my car

I haven't tried stopping it before I turn off the van, but that's an idea. I think when I turn off the engine, it pauses the stream on the device, sure, but what causes it to just start playing again??
TBH, that and the random dead spots around the edges of my phone since Android 11, I'm getting a little aggravated.

I absolutely don't know what causes it to start the music again. But closing it before turning off the engine and then force closing the streaming app does help. That way, the phone has nothing to turn back on
Regarding the dead spots since the update I don't have this problem... Yet. But yeah, Android 11 is one of the worst major update the past few years. Hope they will fix these problems soon.

Yes I already tried but the support didn't even seem to understand the real problem. We were speaking in my native language though. Seems like french support sucks
