So, why exactly does this phone have crappy sound after rooting and installing a ROM?
What file causes it, and is there a way to fix it?
I'd install a stock ROM that's been rooted as long as wifi tether and HSUPA were enabled, but that doesn't look like it's gonna happen.
Right now I'm using attn1's with the audio fix and it's not bad, but not as good as stock.
I suspect a different sound driver or maybe even a filter may be present in inspire stock rom. I'm sure it will be found.

I hope it's found soon, cause there are a lot of great roms there, but with awful audio.
I agree, I'm getting used to the tinny sound though and it doesn't seem to be as bad for me on bluetooth in the car. I'll take gingerbread with tinny sound over no gingerbread at all any day.

I didn't install gingerbread, running a Froyo Rom. Don't want to lose Sense.

Has anyone or is there anything we can do to help boost this poor speaker volume on the inspire...is there some kind of speaker booster that works...thanks in advanced...
I would like to know as well. I can barely hear my phone ringing.

I fixed mine by exchanging for an Atrix. The sound quality and levels are very, very good.
Lol ok me too but rather not get the Atrix just for sound. I Like this phone too much and everything is working great but the sound level. Would like to keep it virgin for awhile and not root or flash yet. but of course thats not too far away.
ha ha I see what you mean. I really loved the Inspire, but the few things that bothered me about it in everyday use seem to be rectified by the Atrix. Besides, I won an Inspire at work so I'll have both

This doesn't really help. Considering I prefer the Inspire to the Atrix. I'm not a huge fan of Motorola.
I am pretty sure it is a software issue though. Games are fairly loud when I play them, and it just seem seems like alerts and ringtones are lacking.

You could always make copies of the ringtones, run them thru a MP3 editing software to boost the Db level of the source file, then put them back to the phone.

Someone should he able to incorporate DSP manager bow that kernels can be cooked. That will make a difference for sure.

So I'll need root, and just have to wait until they update the dsp app on market?

For stock rom?
Awesome phone but the audio is murder!
If you could be less vague, we might be able to better help you.
don't cause audio problems ?
im wondering if there is a way to make the volume louder overall on a stock rom? It pretty much sucks compaired to previous phones I have owned. Ringtone volume is way too low, even at full blast.
Root and flash a rom w/custom kernel that has an audio boost.

Attaching a megaphone to the speaker on the back works as well.
Mainly the tinny audio and maybe a bit louder

The stock unrooted Rom shouldn't have tinny audio.

Possibly, my stock inspire was quiet, but the sound was crystal clear.
Others may disagree though.

no, its common knowledge the inspire (and most HTC phones) have low poor audio. you have to install a ROM with the audio boost kernel to fix it. nothing you can do on stock ROM.
these guys were just bustin your ball pouch.
This is where I miss my iPhone 4 the audio on the inspire sucks It doesn't even sound good when connected to the aux in my truck. And I have to root the phone to fix and HTC knows this thing sucks and will not fix it wow. My last Android device at this time it just seems you have to hack these phones to make simple things perform up to par

When ever i use a custom rom the sound quality isnt like the stock rom? I always have dts enabled when playing music and it sounds great, but i dont have the option when using hellfire or cyanogen. So i guess im asking if there is a way to improve my sound?
I know huh! Barely got this phone yesterday o. Stock and it sounds better. Any help??
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
you could try downloading and flashing beats audio. make sure you back up because thats the only way to revert
I never use the Stock music player. Use Power Amp from the market place. You can increase the base and treble for amazing sound quality. It's a 1 or 2 week trial after that you'll have to buy it. I Highly recommend getting Power Amp.

I tried it and it might have only affected the headphone sound, but I can barely hear a difference.
p.s I am currently running Hellfire ice cream sandwich.
Like the sign says..is there anyway to add beats audio to hashcodes stock cm9 rom. I know there are custom roms with beats built in but a lot of my apps just seem to work better with the stock cm9 rom he built.

I just installed the same one I always have, the one labelled for Gingerbread, I think.
Do you have a link to one that works? I've tried two or three different ones floating around and I get an immediate system sound f/c upon reboot.

Installed your ROM yesterday. Works great!.
As for Beats Audio, I don't even know what that is or why I should care
Can you point me in the right direction?

It's a set of software libraries that should provide you with better sound I'm able to hear a clear difference when comparing the stock ROM and gedeROM, but be the judge of that yourself.
I thinks it's funny how Beats Audio on the hardware side is so terrible but the software aspect is pretty damn good. I was really skeptical but the bass is much fatter in comparison and the whole thing just has better sound overall. It's now totally obvious to me the main design focus was cosmetics to make all the little hipster kids happy when they should've been smart and focused primarily on functionality. But who does that nowadays, right? On a side note, I can't stand the ridiculous white ones. They might as well make them bright yellow with flashing lights, like "Hey, everyone, look how trendy I am!"

Oh don't get me wrong i'm using ged's rom too and love it..i just have an issue where dsp manager does absolutely nothing (ie: i move the sliders no sound change) and any other eq app i've tried f/c's immediately when opening. I love the sound change beats provides but i also would like to be able to fine tune with and eq. I've flashed G's rom with a fresh install and 3 different downloads and still get f/c's on any eq app? So i thought maybe one of the thousands of beats.zips floating around might work if i flash it over a stock cm rom. I want your rom to work for me ged, but the lack of eq bums me out. Any idea what i'm doing wrong with dsp manager?

I tried DSP yesterday. I heard difference as soon as a changed a setting. This is from the internal speakers not headphones.
So is it possible to add Beat Audio to, say, Modaco ROM?

Same here, headphones don't register. Found an eq that works and sounds great with beats on ged's rom.

I installed the Beats 5.1 ZIP from this thread, using TWRP on Hashcode's #10 ROM.
Works great, other than the DSP no longer works and the ROM likes to throw an occasional error at boot up to tell me so. I think this is generally intentional on the part of Beats, since it now manages sound. Since stock DSP no longer manages sound, it would make sense it no longer works.

Yea I actually found beats audio in of all places the play store! Now I can flash it with any rom! Just get that " sound system has stopped" error on boot but it goes away and the sound is much improved.

WTF?!? IIRC, Beats and HTC have an exclusivity deal in place. I'm surprised HTC hasn't requested this be removed from Play.

Yep. It's just an Apk that builds a flashable zip that you use in CWM. I didn't think it would work , but it did.

Since I rooted and started trying different ROMs I finally settled with CleanRom. Problem is since flashing I've noticed when I'm on the phone talking with someone they sound all distorted and computer like. I sometimes get a nasty echo. The echo happens in my car on Bluetooth as well. My wife has the same phone not rooted and hers sounds fine. I've tried a beats app and ac!d app from devs, but none seem to make it better. I would post under Scotts forum for CleanRom but I'm not allowed yet.
Any ideas how to fix this? I don't want to go back to stock rooted. I hate all the big red and sammy extra junk.
The sound distortion I've noticed the distortion on a few other ROMs I've flashed as well.
Searches haven't helped or I wouldn't be asking.
Thanks.

Have you tried Goodness ROM? It does have good sound quality with no need to flash acid or beats.
I'm having the same issue and on CleanRom as well. I was hoping to find a solution on this thread lol
