Enable SRS effects for entire system - Thunderbolt General

Would it be possible to enable SRS effects for anything using the audio? The loud speaker could benefit from this when im using YouTube or Pandora. would it be too resource intensive?

When I see 'SRS' all I can think of is Supplemental Restraint System.
As for SRS audio, I'm guessing you're talking about Sound Retrieval System, which creates immersive '3D' audio experience on stereo speaker systems. I'm not at all confident that it would have any measurable benefit since the TB speaker(s?) is/are too small and closely spaced for an SRS processor to be effective.

If you use the stock HTC music player there is an option for sound enhancement and then it lists srs...and it honestly does improve the audio from being so flat

if you familiar with electronics i would suggest you make a pocket amp for it it will really improve the audio quality and loudness....
do a search on how to build a CMOY amp
if you dont feel comfortable building one your self i can peice one for you for a price ofcourse lol
I am using Motorola s9 hd Bluetooth headphones. And I would love to have an audio booster for this or an equalizer for it. A stand alone equalizer.

no diy stuff for bluetooth... maybe some day someone will make somethin for the market...
There has to be a media player that has a built in preamp
Boostaroo is a decent headphone inline amplifier I use in my rigged aux in for my car... SRSWow would be the plugin I recommend for Android development most (currently on my Fuze).. It clears the mids and provides better seperation and clarity.
SRSWOW FTW!
most recent HTC windows phone always come with the AUDIO BOOSTER once u plug in a headphone but i dont know if other androids by HTC has any.my recent retired HTC HD2 had one and it was really working out for me.

sorry guys those files r not compatible with the supersonic.i tried the beta half of the screen was missing.lookin forward to a 100% working audio tweaks for the supersonic hopefully someday.
check out astro player. there's a file, in the nexus forums i believe. it has an equalizer, definitely helps for mp3s. it's subtle, but it's something. i may also check out the modified sound files vinny posted (his 2nd link).
I wonder if we could improve the audio quality by combining the kernel source from this thread: {KERNEL-SOURCE} GoDmOdE-EVO-2.6.29 {Make Shift Kernel} http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686240&page=7

Just tested this app.. The UI is hot garbage but the EQ works and adds clarity to the stock mudd. Recommended for those with playlists who set it and forget it in the car.. No widget or default stop when unplugged.

Any app for improving audio quality like better bass and treble ?

I know there is a DSP manager app, but that is not sounding that great. The reason I say this is that recently I gave up Droid X. The X had presets built into the music player for bass, 3D and stuff which made the same songs sound a lot better on the X than Droid 1.
I have tried some settings on Droid 1 in DSP Manager but they are nowhere near the quality of the X.
So does anybody have any other suggestions ?
Audio Quality..
I thought the same thing about the music sounding a bit flat. I installed the Power Amp player and am much happier now. It has a lot more customization controls, so you can add more bass if you want.
MixZing has an equalizer as well.
Try PowerAmp app From Market

+1 to PowerAMP its amazing and has tons of presets and you can also make your own.
3rd on PowerAmp..nothing else like it Even plays music ripped from streaming well.
HTC's new senseUI (in Desire Z and HD) has a DSP Manager app that has an equalizer as well. 3 different settings for Headphones, BT and speaker.
Maybe that could be ported for other phones as well?
And no, it doesn't improve quality, a better set of headphones will do that.

PowerAMP is really amazing but I use volume+ now because it affects the every audio app (nice for streaming apps).
Just note that on any eq, you may notice some distortion in the sound. This is especially true if using bass boost and applies to any form of eq.

This might be not too related to the topic, but..
I rarely ever use equalizers for the sole reason that the songs are already mixed how the artists intended the songs to sound. I used to abuse EQ like hell when I was younger and maxed bass and treble on everything I listened to. When I turned it off I suddenly noticed small quirks and new guitars in the background, just details that I couldn't hear before because the bass overpowered everything.
Just something to think about.

Filming Loud Concerts

I recently filmed a rock concert on my Sprint Epic 4G Touch. The video turned out great, given the poor lighting, however the audio was horrendous. Is there anything I can do about this? Perhaps a camcorder app with software noise canceling? Or is this a hardware limitation?
Thanks!

Don't be so close. You're overpowering your microphone. Try screaming into it, it'll produce the same affect. There's not much you can do other than learn good audio editing or mask over the original audio with a different .mp3

Learning good audio editing won't do anything for clipped signal, you'd have to adjust the settings of the mic pre itself. I don't know of any programs that do this, but it would be nifty. You might be able to plug an externally powered mic into the headphone jack and use that, but at that point you might as well just bring a small camcorder with level controls.
Actually, being closer in a small venue is better, as you avoid the blast from the PA.
Yes, an app where you could adjust the mic pre would be huge. Anyone have a way to program such a thing??

Hi,
I believe your device is supported for using Voodoo Sound, I have found recording band practice using the microphone gain presets, with the Loud enviroment - DRC, setting selected, to be of a decent quality. Hi-fi record option set to on too, allows for ADC 128x oversampling to maximize recordings quality.
These settings work for Video recordings too, but I mainly use just audio recording, for that I use TapeMachine Recorder, with the Auto gain off, but can be set to auto too.
Hope this helps.
Unfortunately, voodoo isn't available for my phone, but I contacted the dev about future support. Thanks for the info, voodoo would be perfect, I hope the dev can help a brother out... Lol
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Cool. I hope he does. Sorry, I thought your device was listed, but only for Froyo.
He replied. He said the hardware on this phone won't support it. Too bad ...

Better Audio?

I know that this topic has been discussed before. I have tried the voodoo app and i have bought it. It just seems to make the sound even worse. I believe the culprit is dsp manager. So here Is what happens, I usually keep my volume 2-3 notches below the highest volume. I am using the acoustic preset on dsp manager with the bass slightly higher. If I go 2-3 notches above my normal volume, the sound gets really crackely and choppy. I tried the same song, but with the same preset but with even more bass on my sansa and it sounded crystal clear and really powerful even at higher volumes. Can someone suggest a fix. I am running HFP 2.1 and Faux's kernel.
Edit: I am also running beats audio from like march. And I'm using the google play music app

Try to freeze Dsp and install either EQ or Volume+, then give it a shot. As far as I'm concerned G2X doesn't have the necessary libraries for beat audio to work.

Beats doesn't work and when you place the files where they go it breaks poweramp and dsp

The first thing you need to do is remove the beats audio as it does nothing for the sound. Voodoo sound is much better as long as you have a kernel that has it built in. PowerAMP is one of the best equaliser apps out there for android but the overall sound quality coming from the G2x is not that good and will never be that good without better hardware.

I agree to disagree. Yes, get rid of beats. It didnt anything when I used it. Ditch google music its crap (intended for those of us who enjoy music? I think not.) I use PlayerPro (paid) with treble/bass booster preset with the bass knob almost all the way up. No matter how loud I make it, it kicks ass.
I'm also running RG2x MIUI with Faux kernel. Cleanest, smoothest, and all around best MIUI. Sorry Stormageddon. I used yours and my phone kept freezing. Not your fault, I know this. My phone just doesnt seem to like your roms. Or MIUI.us or Singh-MIUI's either for that matter. RG2x is the only one I can get to run with FC'ing a FC.
I use Winamp pro in conjunction with DSP manager and get GREAT sound (especially from FLAC ) I disable the EQ in DSP manager, Compression - Slight, Bass Boost - Slight, and depending on what I am listening to I will adjust Virtual Room. Everything else in DSP manager OFF. Then, in Winamp I use the Awesome 10 band EQ to adjust the sound to my liking.
I've been using winamp lately, but it still cannot drive my headphones as well as my sansa. Probably just the ****ty audio hardware from LG.
Also how do I get rid of beats audio?

I know not of this ****ty audio you speak of. I consider myself an audiophile (500 gigs of FLAC and counting, high end Polk Audio home theater sound) and honestly, I am quite impressed with the audio quality from my phone. I am guessing that something is not quite right with your setup, or maybe the quality of what you are listening to on your phone isn't up to par.

The actual hardware that is in the LG G2x is the same Wolfson DAC that is in the iPod touches and the iPhones. That DAC is really not that good especially for an audiophile. I never use my phone for music, and yes I only listen to FLAC or better and have a complete Sennheiser setup. I have tried making the audio better with an amp but even that just made the quality barely noticeably better. The quality is not that good and will never be that good.

Yes way. My sansa can send bass that is skullcrushing (Sony xb-500 headphones). My phone can barely drive my headphones. If I set it to the loudest setting the sound is no where close even with poweramp.

New Voodoo Sound Codec?

Hi all,
I am just wondering if anyone has heard of an update by supercurio for a newer voodoo sound codec for the g2x. The development on github shows nothing has been done on it in nearly a year.
I really like high quality music and a higher version is the only piece missing from my puzzle.
Any news at all would be great for better or worse. Have a great day everyone!

The g2x doesn't truly support voodoo, so he most likely discontinued work for it.
All voodoo can do on the g2x is amplify the audio.
I flashed the beats audio apk and used voodoo to turn up the amp.
Sounds great and I can get the loudness I wanted.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I wish there would be sound improvements with all this stuff but I see little to no difference! My real question is how loud do you guys need the music to be lol, if I turn it all the way up on my crappy ear buds I eventually have to turn it down cause its too loud, and my right ear is 60ish % cause of gun fire and fire works and stuff haha.

Thanks for the feed back everyone! Looks like its v1 for life lol.
FYI I run voodoo sound (as I hear it improve sound quality), with Neutron mp3 player no settings on (improves sampling to 32 bit instead of 16 bit like other players), along with equalizer app with basic EQ setting to get bass n treble poppin and just the reverb set to large hall.
320 kbps mp3's sound out of this world on my Sennhieser 598.
That is what I found works for me. These days I am finding less is more for sound quality and no longer use beats audio or my fiio e5.
