I've been using DoubleTwist, Winamp, and PowerAMP recently to decide which I like best. I like doubletwist for its interface and streaming features available for upgrade, i like winamp for overall features and a clean and simple interface, and i like PowerAMP for its wide array of sound mixing, and EQ options. I'm currently on LeeDroid, so i have the SRS and Dolby settings, but if i went to CM7, or in the other players in general, how do i access these settings? I've searched the forum and found one check box in Poweramp, but how about the others?
The only reason I ask is cause, with my cheap headphones, SRS makes a difference. With my expensive in-ear monitors, i use a manual EQ or DSP manager, but with the built in speaker, or cheap earphones, SRS and Dolby work fine.
Thanks for the help
I don't know about the other players but I use CM7 and PowerAMP, I love it for all the eq settings you can do, I have different set ups for all my headphones. And in the EQ settings there is a small button that says DHD and when you click it you can turn on SRS and Dolby.

So I'm not completely satisfied with Vibrant's default music player and its EQ. I tried Astro Player but the EQ on that is crap. I found out MixZing has THE EQ I'm looking for and it sounds quite amazing but the app itself is not ideal as a music player and the EQ taxes the CPU = lower battery. Is there another player with a similar EQ or is there a program I can use to force a EQ over the ENTIRE phone (not just music player) so that I can then use any music player. I don't care if I have to root the device to get such an app to work.
I'm new to Android coming from Nokia XpressMusic series (which sound amazing with their EQs) so looking to replicate that. It's a HIGH priority for me being an audiophile.
Has anyone noticed low frequency distortion when playing MP3s (and perhaps other audio formats) in the Sense Music Player? It's subtle, but definitely there. It's more noticeable in music with lots of bass. I know it's the Sense Music Player's fault because PowerAMP sounds just fine playing the exact same MP3s. Since SRS WOW can only be enabled in the Sense Music Player, that's the one I want to use. PowerAMP's equalizer, despite what people may say, is garbage. Aside from the low frequency distortion, the Sense Music Player sounds way better than PowerAMP when SRS is enabled.
The distortion I'm talking about doesn't seem to interfere much with the actual music quality. It's just an annoying, low-pitched popping noise that you can hear in the background so to speak. I hear the sound regardless of whether SRS is enabled or not. The equalizer can be on or off too. It's even there when listening to music via Bluetooth A2DP. I have several high quality headphones and the distortion effect is present in all of them.
I've tried several different ROMs and kernels (including the stock) and the issue has been present in all of them. Has anyone had the same experience? To be clear, I'm not looking for advice on what to use besides the Sense Music Player to avoid this issue. I've tried them all and they're all garbage. The Sense Music Player with SRS WOW enabled is the closest thing to my HD2 with the SRS WOW HD software audio driver. The HD2 (running WinMo 6.5.3) sounds better than any portable music player I've ever heard. You have to know what equalizer settings to use in the SRS control panel for the type of music you're listening to, of course. I just want to see if others can confirm my findings. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
I find the sense player to be almost worthless, particularly in dock mode. Is suggest go.do.g another player.

You must not have read my entire post. I specifically said that I'm not looking for someone to recommend using another music player. I am concerned about the sound quality. I know of no other music player that can take advantage of SRS WOW capabilities of this phone. Aside from the distortion I described, the sound quality of the Sense player is better than anything else available.
I have noticed weird pops too when I'm using Pandora
my Tbolt is bone stock
Anyone know a good app to use for audio equalizing? I'm getting a pair of q460's to use with my tablet and I read it could do with some equalizing.
If you're just looking for an equalizer for music, several music apps include a built-in equalizer, one example being PowerAMP. If you want a system-wide equalizer, there's a free app called Equalizer in the Market.
Both PowerAMP and Equalizer work fine on the Transformer.
I hope that poweramp adds some notification bar controls for honeycomb like the stock Google music app. Not necessary though as my headphones have the controls on one side.
Did you try Volume+ app in below link

EQ + VR + overall volume boost
Yo,
I like to listen to music, so i'd like to tweak the sound parameters on the tablet to my taste.
What can be done in this direction?
Maybe you can recommend me some apps that are good to play with EQ and other sound influenting factors?
A good music player with a great equalizer (but a somewhat unintuitive in terms of GUI) is N7Player.
And maby using Viper4Android?
so many agree that Viper4Android + poweramp is a great way to go... have not tested viper on the note pro yet.. but on my note 3 (and all my others allways use it on) its awesome and allows you to teak your sound as you are asking
From my Fired-up Note Pro 12.2!
Neutron player. It's has alooooot of options and its own "sound engine" or w/e. Really customizable and sounds great to my ears. Alternatively you could get a external USB DAC/AMP like the fiio e18.
The built in one can't be turned on for bluetooth earbuds. So what options do I have? I don't want to root.
well if you have Google Play Music,it has good equalizer in its app and its a good one for playing music with good bass effects and many more.
moreover most of the other music players has inbuilt equalizers.
