Recently i switched over to MIUI from sense because of popular reviews. I know it has dsp manager but my headphones are built for bass and honestly none of my music have bass with dsp even with the bass boost and equalizer enabled. There is a slight amount of bass but nothing close to what srs gave me. I read on the MIUI thread in the development section about srs and it said it was added but no where on my phone can i find it :\ Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
EDIT:I can see this forum is practically dead...
Well a simple solution i found was poweramp and using the built in srs, but still it sounds like utter crud when compared to the srs on my brothers stock inspire with srs... -.- this stinks...

Are you sure SRS is so great? I have a fairly high end pair of earbuds (Ultimate Ear triple.fi 10 pro) and I was not impressed with SRS at all. Too much reverb and fake midrange/stereo enhancement. If SRS was so great it would be in all the ROMs, very few have it.
Forum isn't dead BTW.

Srs wasn't that great with my earbuds either but when I got my ear pollution headphones srs had a lot of bass with my dubstep music and it sounded amazing... but now I can't access it with miui, maybe ill find a new rom if no one is willing to help me get srs on the miui rom :-\
I just ran some shell scripts last night to reset my audio (external and headphone)... not sure if it worked but let me find the link....
The link is in desire HD forum for "make speakers sound good" the script is su snd3254 -dspmode XX run from terminal emulatoe. Look in forum for respective numbers for phone. Should work for all MIUI ROMS.

I know that, and thanks for reminding me. The only problem I get when running the script in gscript is that it says that it can't be found and closes without doing anything... I've tried flashing the snd or w/e file, tried extracting it and merging the files to their correct places in the system folder and nothing will work.
I also do set the script to use superuser, it asks permission i allow it, and it still says it could not be found :/
EDIT: I tried in terminated.al emulator and it resulted in the same problem even after giving it Su permissions...
Hmmm dunno what to tell ya. I'm using connect bot for my term emulator. Worked for me but I played with some music today and I'm not sure if I could hear a difference on the recommended settings from that forum. Ill have to try some of the others

I'd like to know and share with others what experiences everyones had listening to music on their g2x.. what rom , kernal, apps headphones. etc.. I'm currently running fits' latest kang and just use the dsp manager and earbuds that came with my wife's sgs4g ... The sound is great... Anyone else?
Dude...the way to go is CM7 with faux's kernal and Voodoo. I also run Power Amp for my music app. Btw... I'm using Beats by Dre for headphones. The sound is amazing...get voodoo for sure. You'll love it.

Haven't checked voodoo out yet.. been meaning too. Thanks
Apparently we cant just yet (or so I read in another thread)...when you got to install you get an incompatible device error. The thread mentioned something about the dev updating it for our P999's
Those who are using voodoo ... did you have an apk of it previously?

Uhh I have news for you, those headphones are horrible compared to the competition at the price point. The only thing they do have is that they are a great looking set of headphones.

Watch out bro there are some true beat lovers here....lol
Fauxs kernel works with fits build it is based off cm with some cherry picks that's all, and voodoo works fine.....u flash the kernel then grab voodoo control plus u do NOT have to do anything inside the app voodoo automatically loads up u are ready to use it no need to load module. Although it does say kernel or device not supported it still works well for me atleast . I think faux needs to update the voodoo drivers. But your good man I love music on the g2x with voodoo awesome sound.... I'm running fits latest voodoo, faux 0.4.2 and some Sony headphones I had laying around sounds great
I like to think of Beats by Dr. Dre as a cooler version of Bose Headphones. Great, but crazy overpriced. On a side note, the phone works great for most times listening during the day, but there's far too much noise at the lowest volume levels for it to be really amazing. That doesn't really matter much when I listen to dubstep or black keys, but throw on some fleet foxes or mumford & sons and it's a little annoying.

So you have to use Voodoo Control PLUS? The free ver is the one that gives the incompatibility error.
Anyone know what DAC the G2X is using? Did a quick search but didn't turn anything up. I'll keep looking.
Weapon g2x, faux kernel w/voodoo, Power Amp, Panasonic hje-900 or my custom triple fi-10.
I have yet to uplaod my music collection to Google music. Anyone using Amazon music service? Thinking about going that route because I can actually purchase new music if needed.

Nope, I've had everything from Sony, Bose, Shure, to sennheiser and I am for sure Beats all the way. They are pricey and I'm the first to look for deals but Beats By Dre (HD) are definitely well worth the price. I got mine a few months ago and I definitely think they sound better than anything else out there.

+1. Totally agree with you on this one bro...I've tried the HD5's, Sony V900HD, and the Beats by Dre...Sorry to say but the bass coming from the Beats sounded like butt compared to the HD5's...
Please, what audio parameter on the headphone out changes when the kernel or ROM is changed?
Thanx.

I use Amazon Cloud for stuff stored on the Web and Uber Music for stuff I side load. Both work well, but the Amazon player just looks stupid. Uber Music has a great UI, imho, and has a nice feature where when you choose an album to play, it will offer a page of band info, etc., of the sort you might see on Allmusic.com or some such.

Nah man I'm still here, just been super busy with college at night construction in the day and wife and 3. Kids lol g2x is better then that crapsation and not sure if the free one works or not but I have voodoo control plus version 3.0 and it works fine
To the person that asked what rom/kernal I was using I believe it was either fauxs rom and kernal that is included with it or fitsnuglys rom and fauxs 4.1 stick voltage kernal.. either one are great...
Oh and for those that like poweramp I suggest player pro it is just as good IMO and its equalizer is very nice in combination with dsp manager and voodoo u have to grab the separate equalizer that goes with it in the market its called dsp pack

I've seen some threads in the International HOX forum, as well as a new ROM in our forum that support Dolby Mobile.
I'm on Cleanrom, and I don't really want to switch ROMS for an audio effect. I'm definitely curious though.
How can I flash Dolby Mobile onto my HOX without any ROM changes?
What about ALSA? I know MixGet is on the play store, but does it work for anyone?

I mean heres the apk. IMO its just another gimmick like beats. Its just a different equalizer. Seriously just use poweramp or playerpro or even the equalizer app from the play store and set your settings according to your preference. Surround sound is not possible through a 3.5mm stereo jack. At best, you will get virtual surround sound which distorts or incorrectly balances sounds.
Thats my opinion. But you are better off sending a PM to XsMagical and ask him about it since he ported the ROM that contains it.
Yup that I know, a gimmick it is for sure. I wish the HOX had a wolfson dac, or a voodoo-like hack of some sort. Driving larger headphones with higher impendence doesn't quite work well here.
Right now I'm using Google music with DSP manager. I'll occasionally leave beats on while at the gym for the fun of it, usually I'm only using an equalizer though. I just wanted to hear what Dolby could do, never tried it before in my life lol.

I love the Voodoo headphone amp as it boosts the headphone output to a decent level, but installing voodoo sounds has its problems on ICS with calls, etc and all the know bugs. Is there a headphone amp app or widget or something? Best I've found is to make a preset EQ with everything boosted but this affects sound more than Supercurio's work on the Wolfman chip and enabling the headphone boosts.
Jetaudio is the player I've been using on my other phone. Get it from play store. Once you have it go to EQ and look at the top. There is a built in preamp. Slide the bar to 10 and watch your ears bleed. It is by far the best free player that I've used.

Actually thank eollie. I'm pretty sure he's the one that let me know about it. Well it was either him or Lumin. Hard to tell the other members of TFTN apart anymore. lol
I'll give Jet a try myself.
Not to hijack, if anyone knows of dev info on compiling new codecs for Android, would you PM me? The lack of Apple lossless keeps me from using my phone for music.
Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development

Can you really tell the difference between lossless and compressed? I've tried with some really good earbuds and it's super hard for me to tell. Try talking some albums that you know really well and converting them to mp3 at 224. If you can tell the difference from the phone I'd be amazed.

Yeah, I use Grado cans and anything below 512 kbps is like nails on a chalkboard to me. My library is all Apple lossless at this point and transcoding on the fly is a complexity I'd rather not deal with.
Edit -- Switching to IEMs has made anything compressed even at 512 kbps rather painful. As full-rate Apple Lossless or Flac is typically around 800-1000 kbps, at least for me, there isn't any meaningful gain for the pain.
jetAudio does support Apple Lossless now, and doesn't have the gaps between tracks that used to plague older Android players. It's got it's own usability issues, but it does a decent job.
Now if I can figure out why Voodoo Sound occasionally stops working for me to control amp gain so I can keep the digital gain maxed out.

Since I stopped using my 4g as a phone and just use it as a music player voodoo sounds has worked all the time every time. I think receiving phone calls might be what is causing it to stop working. I few others have reported the same. Something to take a look at at least. If your using jet it has it's own built in pre amp that works well.
I think that maxed out issue you are talking about is a setting in voodoo app causes the db keep going up

I seem to be finding that either placing or receiving a call "disconnects" Voodoo Sound from the analog gain.
The preamp control in jetAudio is a little different -- Voodoo has the benefit of keeping the digital gain as high as possible and just using the audio gain, which should improve sound quality by keeping digitization noise lower.
I have logs for that i go on wheresmycellphone.com and call my phone run logocat right before the call. No one has provided logs yet ? There seems to be dual speaker mode thats changed and an audio route problem. Do u want me to up logs. Does voodoo work on any of ics roms with just dsp manager and how do u tell if it is working really. I think the tv out driver plays a slight role as well there is bluetooth sharing enabled during call when headset not being used or anything.

I bet you still listen to vinyl don't you. LOL I see your point for sure but on my earbuds I can't tell the difference. As long as it's loud and clear and loud it's good enough for me.

Hello guys I am just coming from s3 lte. And I got a question because on my s3 I used to use boeffla kernel + cm11. Ofcourse I am gona use xm11 on my nexus 5 too but here comes the question. Do you know any kernels for nexus 5 which are similar to the boeffla one? ( boeffla sound has the best equalizer I have ever been using on my phone) Big thanks.

You can only use kernels that are CAF based like Elemental, Chaos and maybe others. Don't flash AOSP kernels with CM11. For sound control you may look at Viper4android or something like that. Check if it is compatible with CM11.

I might have different opinion on Viper4Android. IMO, Nexus 5 soundchip is already awesome as it is and doesn't need V4A. I think what you need is a proper music player (i use poweramp myself which is very good for me) as the play music has crappy equalizer (shame though, a very nice interface)
IMHO, V4A sound effects are gimmicks and doesn't really give you the true performance of your soundchip. Don't get me wrong, i've tried V4A before because i think the Play Music sound quality is ugly, but then i didn't know that the phone itself is really great at producing high bitrate music (great also on flac). After i tried poweramp, i realized that V4A is just gimmick sound effect, not the true sound.
Again, every person's ear is different, you might have different opinion on V4A.
Give it a try and you'll know it yourself.

Actually there are effects in v4a but the main thing is being able to increase the sampling rate. I'm sorry to say but Poweramp with v4a is better than poweramp without v4a.
Maybe you misunderstand v4a.

Try it.
The DAC we have is good, but it's not as clear as it could be.
I think you'll struggle to match the Wolfson DAC in recent Galaxy phones, especially when used with the DAC Direct option in Boeffla or VooDoo Sound.
Coming from a Note 2, sound quality is the first thing I noticed the N5 was lacking in. Not by much, but still noticeable. Also, if you use decent Bluetooth headphones then you may notice even worse quality as the N5 doesn't support the APT-X codec (obviously the headphones need to support this too).
I'm a long-time PowerAmp user but have only just got my N5 set-up with a custom ROM so still need to test out Viper.
