I have a sennheiser HD 429 and it won't work with any equalizer app on my G2. The frequency sliders work but the bass boost just won't work. But when I plug the headphones into my friend's Moto E, the equalizer works perfect and the bass gets boosted. Does anyone know what the issue could be here?
Verizon LG G2 running CloudyG2 2.2. Edit: Also tried using stock ROM, still no avail.
Apps I've tried to use for equalizer: DSP Manager and musiXmatch equalizer.

Is anyone else having audio issues with the Droid 4? mostly when I listen to music The vocals are so quiet that I can barely even distinguish them. I've tried 4 different sets of headphones and even replaced the phone once (it had other issues too).
so I'm just curious if others are having this issue or is it simply the audio playback on these phones is just poor.
I would even like suggestions of music apps or equalizers that can enhance vocal playback.

I'm very happy with the sound on my D4. I use Poweramp to listen to MP3s off my SD card, Tunein Pro for streaming local radio and some podcasts, and occasionally Slacker & Pandora for other streaming.
The Poweramp free app is a 15 day trial, the Full Version is $4.99 in the store. It has, in my non-audiophile opinion, a kick-ass equalizer, including about 16 presets. I have no problems hearing any audio unless the source was recorded with low levels.
That being said, I'm not a big fan of the D4's speaker for listening to music, but when I'm listening to music I'm either using headphones, external speakers or I'm plugged into my car's audio system, so it's not usually an issue.
I use Volume+. It is a paid app but worth it I think. I really does boost spound with headphones, speaker, bluetooth, and in call. To mod in call you have to be rooted.

That's for the options, I will try them out. I don't think the issue is quality since I use 320 kbps mp3 files as often as possible. I'm just trying to figure out this issue before I start flashing CM9.

I too have enjoyed the audio quality and volume from my droid 4. It could be the audio files you are listening too. If you ripped them from a cd, or downloaded them from somewhere sketch, then they could just be low in volume all together.
Well I considered that too. But I listened to the same song with poweramp, with Google music, on winamp and on Pandora. Same thing, I can barely hear the vocals. It sounds fine coming out of the back speaker, or if i switch power amps setting to mono. Maybe my phone just hates stereo.

Go to phone settings > sound > media audio effects. 3D audio or whatever is probably enabled by default. This drowns out some sounds in order to make a '3D' effect. Not good for music, in my opinion.

Thank you so much. That worked. I tweaked the audio effects and other settings to make it sound how I wanted it to. I can't thank you enough this was driving me insane. Now is time to start playing with roms.

I'm using rockplayer in cm7 sd playing avi and mkv but the audio is so low I have difficulty hearing them even with an in-ear earphone. Any work around to make the audio louder?
Try an equalizer app from the market and crank the dials up to the top.
You could also try Nook Color Tweaks.
You can change the volume gain in "Audio Settings" -> "Headphone analog gain".
thanks. Will look into them when I get home. Seems DSP Manager also works.
Don't bother with an eq app. Install nook tweaks.
I think that the best solution is using another speakers via bluetooth

Given the horrible range of the Nook Color's antenna-less bluetooth radio, you won't be able to get a clean signal more than a few inches away, if that. If you've got a bluetooth speaker, it's worth a try, but if not, a wired solution will be cheaper and sound better.
Use the equalizer app. I use Volume+ paid app, but the free ones work.
everything work fine when update to paranoidandroid v.02.
but music too loud when connected to headphone.
any suggestion??

thanks for replying
What preset were you using?
i tried change many preset but seem cannot resolved sound quality when played music using headphone. sound buzzy and poor vocal sound.
look like in room/hall but its disable. did tick compression disable/enable still the same.
also tested with equaliser app, no change.
any suggestion?
When I use spotify and adjust equalizer settings there is no change in sound.
I've tried this on my Bluetooth headset and stock ear buds they came with.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have the same problem. External equalizers work for a while but stop randomly sometimes. Once was able to make SoundAlive work once with the right settings. Trying to find the right ones again. Will report if found

Exactly for the Bluetooth it works but wired doesn't it seems
I have the same issue, external equalizers don't work at all. Only sound modification settings that work are the ones in the system settings (and the actual equalizer is absent here). However, it worked for like 3 minutes at some point today, and the built in equalizer sounded amazing. And then it stopped working again -_-
I have the same problem!! Maybe it can be fixed with an update!
Bump. Have anyone found any solution for this? I've been into every single forum and thread and still no solution is found.
I have the same problem. Had this issue for months then randomly the EQ worked for about an hour yesterday, broken again today. Sound Alive+ works, up scaler and tube amp emulation work, but changing the EQ does absolutely nothing. Likewise with effects like 3D, concert hall etc. Using the built-in Samsung Music player seems to work but neither Spotify or Shuttle+ work.
I've tried everything I can think of except factory reset.
I got the phone around 15 days ago. I was pretty happy with my earphones along with the Google Play equaliser, so never tried the "Headphones and Audio effects" functions. Everything was fine till a week ago.
I tried the inbuilt "Headphones and Audio effects" settings, didn't like it, and reverted to the Google Play equaliser.
I found out thag the Google Play equaliser was not working anymore. The equaliser UI was there and working, but it wasn't affecting ang changes in the audio.
Same issue when using Prime Music.
Has anybody else faced this issue?
If so, does anybody have a solution? (Not a workaround or phone reset suggestion)
Is it an Mi or Google Play issue?
Any help would be appreciated.
Happen to me as well,on china rom, mp3 player audify and bits apps ,equaliser not working ,only Poweramp works
Found a solution, Turn on Mono audio from developer mode and select any music player equalizer, it works on all mi phones and headphones
Mi equalizer works on stereo mode and doesn't allow other equalizer to control.

Thank you so much for this neat trick.
One more observation: If you switch on mono and then music player EQ starts working fine. After this even if we disable mono, EQ works fine.
