Hey guys,
When I first got my inspire I loved the audio output coming from the headphone Jack. I am now running the android revolution rom and the sound quality sounds like it leaves something to be desired on the lower end frequencies, I was wondering if anyone else noticed this and what you did to fix it
Thanks

ARHD 6.1.0 has known audio issues on the Inspire (judging by the comments in the dev thread). Earlier versions may need the Inspire tinny fix applied to them (link is in the dev thread).
BTW your question would be better placed in the Q&A thread for ARHD.
Youre right, my apologies. Can the mods please move this to the right section?
And while I'm at it ill ask this question to everyone. Which ROM have all of you found to have the best sound quality?
I came from a Captivate and the Voodoo sound enhancement made phone sound better than my laptop with SRSwow sound effects. I was hoping this phone would be just as good if not better with the Dolby and SRS built in
*EDIT* I was using poweramp then decided to give playerpro with the DSP pack a try and it sounds waayyy better. Definitely worth a try

Yeah I never had a problem with the sound in the stock firmware. It was a lot better considering I came from an x10 which had horrible quality. Depends on what your standards are.

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.

So I got a defective one?

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

So I've looking around, and tried a few things to increase the volume, like dst manager, which doesn't seem to work, but cannot find something legit. does anyone know how to boost the volume for the phone's speaker/ bluetooth sound? or if this is possible?
Omg!!! Post in the right section!!

There may already be a similiar thread under the accessories header, please look around and use common sense when posting. This is for development only...
VooDoo v10 is bad ass for headphones.
get a VooDoo enabled ROM/Kernel, and get VooDoo controll Plus (worth the money)
Voodoo rocks headphone Gain
Nuff Said,Vegas
I'm looking for the same thing... I think this guy is looking for something cooked into a kernel. Coming from an inspire, most kernels come with anywhere from 10-25% audio boost.
VOODOO is great for music and bass boost but doesn't do a thing for phone calls.

Can you define what you're looking for, or link to another thread where they did this? I'm not sure what is being asked, from what I've seen from commercials, Beats audio is a hardware piece (never looked into it though, so I'm probably dead wrong).
the hardware limit is +5db from what i have seen via voodoo control so maybe not possible

It says sense roms only, it works through the HTC music player so I dunno if there is a way around it using the music app. It would be a sweet feature to have although I dunno how much we can trust the sound quality coming from a bunch of rappers they probably just turned the bass up to max and labelled it "beats" audio ;P
In my experience, Voodoo tends to make it sound better, rather than Beats, which makes it sound louder *my opinion*
I would suggest that you try out one of the Voodoo kernels with the Voodoo Control app and see if that sound quality sounds better to you.
Yes, the hardware limit is +5db.
In that thread they're saying that there's much more bass (no suprise) and clearer sound, which already comes in Voodoo (there's even a bass boost option).

Please refrain from doing that , it's uncalled for post something useful next time .

Hey all, I'm new to XDA and just picked up a HTC sensation. I noticed the sound quality, coming from an iphone to Sensation, is not even close. Any sugguestions (apps/tweaks) since this model does not come with beats audio already on it? (FYI I have not rooted/unlockd the phone) Thanks in advance.
Root it. Then you can put on a rom that has beats already installed. All it is is software
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
like the above post says. First root your phone then install any custom rom that has beats audio in it.
root your device.. Then you can install new mods (softwares) which can increase the sound of your speakers or like the above stated.. Use a beats enabled ROM.. The thing about iphone is (after using iphones for past 3 years) its not as customizable as the android phone. And i feel, amongst the android phone.. HTC device has the most quality and best community interms of development.
You can try what you like but nothing I've done (beats/volume+/etc.) has made any real difference and compared to the iphone the sound output is a complete joke (my friends and family with iphones have literally started laughing out the output.)

It actually is embarrassing trying to play a song I like for my girlfriend on this phone and it royally fails. I then sheepishly ask to use her 4S which just abuses this phone. And good luck talking on the phone with the windows down. You won't hear a damn thing.
Literally my only complaint about this phone. Wish they would have put a better speaker in this bad boy.

Does rooting really enhances the audio quality? How drastic is the change?

sensation has a terrible loudspeaker
nothing you can really do about it to be honest. equalizers wont help much since its more of a hardware issue (they used a ****ty speaker)
headphone quality is amazing though
Using srs made my sensation sound better than a 3gs

Install Poweramp, its a powerful music player with equalizer controls. It beats having Beats.
root it
Root your device and install Viper-S Rom
It has beats-audio and you will love iT

Sound quality in sensation is hardware issue more than software (although the stock player isn’t good too, as crosstalk problem is really serious). Not only the speaker mentioned above, chip used, amp circuit used are not quite well in sensation. Having beats audio won’t help much too as it is only a (software) equalizer boosting the bass and treble, if you able to try EQ with variable cf and Q, or 1/2Oct EQ, boosting first 3 and last 3(for 1/2 Oct) with 4dB, you'll get what HTC called "beats audio". Qualcomm CPU is also a problem affecting sound quality as it forced resampling the sound signal from 44.1kHz (usually used by CDs and Android will also force resampling to this) to 48kHz(used by video format), which increase the total harmonic distortion.
Few things you can try to improve sound quality of sensation, install music player (Poweramp, PlayerPro, Neutron, Rockbox, etc.), using a better headphone (better with active noise cancellation as mobile phones usually have serious distortion due to wireless signal, monitor, mobile signal, etc.). Equalizers won’t help sound quality but coloring it.

Its not rooting that enhances the sound its the mods you can apply afterwards that will.

We got our Sensation 4Gs with OS 2.3.4 and the audio in/out sucked. The OTA ICS 4.0.3 update addressed a lot of those issues. It doesn't fix the hardware but the speakers sound a little louder and definitely clearer, as does the audio in newer video recordings. Recordings played back from before the ICS update still exhibit "audio crappiness".
root your sensation first
I was on insert coins sense 4 ROM, and my sound was fine and seemed louder. Now I'm on the cm10 kang, works perfectly but it seems the sound is just awful. Half the ringtones crackle and music just simply doesn't sound good where as before it did. I put the bass reducer on in DSP manager and it helped a little. So my question is; is there any real fix? I've noticed this happen in quite a few other ROMs. Some ROMs sound great, others it sounds as if my speaker is blown.
Hi there , you might want to post this on the cm10 site as they know about the Rom and could possibly know of a fix for you. People who are on that site are likely all using the same Rom And likely know the tricks and tips for it. Hope this helps. Good luck. Hope your issue is resolved soon .

Ahh? I just have the opposite opinion with you.
CM10 + DSP manager should be better than STOCK SENSE 4 + BEATS
Beats audio does not improve audio quality at all...
Gah! Forgot to enable the equalizer. All is right with my phone again.
