Built in Equalizer

Not sure if this is old news to everyone else, but I just stumbled across it (a month later) But the default music player has a built in equalizer. If you press the menu button while the app is open and tap settings it's there. You can also turn on a little visualization. Like I said not sure if everyone else knows this , but it's kinda cool.

Looool I thought I had noticed it late too. Inha en used google music but voodoo and 5.1 surround sound sound awesome ha. The

Lol, good I don't feel so bad now. I just purchased these little IHome speakers http://www.ihomeaudio.com/iHM60GX/ and they sound really good when you adjust the EQ!

I personally like the stock player with Voodoo sound.
I use it in my car plugged into the
Aux. Port. Great sound!

I agree with Corvette Dave. I purchased the HU in my truck for the USB port but I actually use my phone and the AUX port more. The infuse with voodoo sound sounds great with the stock player.

Yeah, products seldom ship with hardcopy manuals anymore. You have to download it from the product page (which the forum isn't letting me link to, but just Google "infuse manual").

personally I prefer using the DSPManager from cyanogen mod rom. It works great even without CM7 installed

Can u push dspmanager to stock froyo or do u have to be on gb Roman?

Yes, according to the link, it will work on any gingerbread rom. I installed it about 30 min ago, and can notice a slight difference on my low-grade headphones. Will try again on my good ones at work.
EDIT: I'm at work, using good headphones, and the quality difference is distinct enough to notice easily.

has anybody flashed this yet? Cuz last time I modified stuff with the audio my phone bootlooped. So I don't wanna flash cuz I'm away for weekend

Just installed it on my phone. I have ZAGG buds which have decent sound for their price (I got them half off too). I admit I'm a little skeptical being a little more on the casual audiophile side. I know that with the DAC this phone has, high quality music shouldn't need silly gimmicks to make it sound better, but I'm about to see what I think now I guess!
Edit: Bah, I'm dumb and listened to Spotify before I applied so I had a crappy comparison. Anyway, playing FLAC in PowerAMP after installing sounds pretty good, but I almost feel like I hear a little compression that may be caused by Beats. Might remove the mod and test some more over the weekend. Overall it sounds pretty great though. No complaints.

I had the same thing happen but found it to be something that titanium backup was restoring.

Beats audio is software EQ only. Voodoo Control app is more functional, better, and doesn't consume battery life as an extra EQ layer on top of your audio. Also according to supercurio (twitter.com/supercurio), the ports violate HTC and Beatsbydre licensing, while also asking for donations for violating said license.

Well...that threads been out a while, so apparently someone got permission, so until they start shutting threads down i say beats is much more clear than voodoo... Good job bro...

So I just put this onto my phone today, which has Revelation Rom on it. Downloaded the file from my browser, then rebooted to recovery. I made a backup of my system through recovery when it rebooted to it. Then I flashed the zip, rebooted phone and voila! The phone seems like the audio is much better, but I don't know if there is anywhere to verify the flash took. There is no app in my app folders, maybe theres a beats folder in my phone somewhere.

The are multiple files. One that you can just check is in the system/bin folder. You will see files that say ibeats in them. That is the only folder i can remember right now.

I'm sure supercurio would disagree.
but voodoo and this are two different things with different purposes. cant be compared. voodoo is an open source driver from wolfson for our chip hacked into a module to replace the closed source Samsung driver unlocking some native features and givving acess to the hardware volume control. there is more it does on cm7 but it was left out of the Samsung roms because we have some software correction or emulation or eq in our libs that the rom depends on and can't be turned off. supercurio didn't want to stack layers of emulation or correction because of unpredictable or poor results or an effect of diminishing return.
this is software effects and/or equalization. the problem I have with that is the nature and quality of the effects is unknown. it may be sophisticated correction for the htc hardware and possibly have negative effects on our hardware. it might just be some compression or reverb to emulate a listening environment, might be a combination. we dont actually know. we also don't know how this plus our Samsung software is really effecting the integrity of the signal. but if you think it helps by all means use it. I personally see no reason to mess with it especially on a Samsung rom.

The beats audio is not a very good audio system for music as it just distorts the lower and midrange bass (speaking as an audiophile with a $1000+ audio setups). The best thing to do if you want better quality is just to use voodoo sound with a kernel that has it built in. The trinity kernel has it built in and I think Faux123 does too. But to each his own.

Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Also there is an app on the Play Store called Volume+. One of its EQ's (which is what Beats Audio is) is a "Beats Emulation" as they call it. Just another option. Personally I found that Voodoo Sound Control was more than enough to make sound great on the phone.

I've flashed Beats onto my phone and didn't really notice a difference. I've had more results fooling around with Volume+ or DSP Manager.

Voodoo +dsp

So who thinks they have them playing nice with each other? I'm running Erik miui with both installed but one is always overtaking the other. I prefer voodoo bass boost over dsp and would always trash dsp in favor if the tw music player/EQ; however, with miui i don't think this is an option. the miui music eq doesn't seem to be as crisp on the high end as dsp nor is it optimized for our device (hence the distortion at high gains). thoughts, suggestions, experiences?

I use voodoo only on unnamed. The sound quality is better without dsp for me. I tried all sorts of settings combinations, voodoo only, dsp only, both together, in the end I always uninstall dsp.

Bass
The only way I've been able to use them in combo is by not applying anything other then the volume key hack from voodoo. Works great for me since I prefer that from voodoo and bass and equalizer from DSP. If you set up the bass on Voodoo and the EQ on DSP they will not play nice as you've found out. It's a one or the other type of thing.

I have both on Val Final. I haven't had any problems yet.

So glad no one said "just use poweramp"
on unnamed I too just rip out dsp.
the dsp eq sets the bass gains too high without any sort of limiter for our hardware. I think that is what makes it so distorted at louder volumes

Pull it from a ROM that has it and push into system apps with root explorer. Or, if you look hard enough, I want to say theres an apk for it in one of ravers threads.

Beats Audio on our Charge

I was browsing the Rezound development section today(just felt like seeing how lively it was in case i decide to jump aboard the Rezound ship) and I found a thread that puts Beats Audio on all your apps, I checked the comments and the OP said he's tested it on the Charge and it works. Says it should be compatible with all ROMs in fact.
"*SHOULD* be compatible with all roms on all devices running 2.3 and up.
I have tested it on
Rezound, Fascinate , Charge, Galaxy Nexus, OG Droid , and Droid 3 ... seemed to work on all those ."
I have yet to test it as I don't very much care for Beats Audio, just thought I'd share.

Yes

Beats is only good if you like a whole bunch of bass and nothing else. It sounds like a complete muddy mess to my ears. My girlfriend has a Rezound and it sounds like crap to me. It has no tonal balance whatsoever and there's no way to adjust it. To each their own, but I need some treble.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk 2

Beats is just a predefined EQ setting, nothing more and nothing less. It's good for hip hop, dance music, and some pop if you're using headphones. Other than that, worthless. And, if you have Voodoo Sound, it'll do a better job on your headphones than Beats will.
Voodoo Sound > Beats.

You can see what beats is doing here, but note that the frequency response curve the HTC One X as measured here is borked to begin with. It is still easy to see what the Beats EQ is doing though.

So yeah, screw Beats and their stupid crap.
Voodoo FTW. Seriously, Voodoo is underrated around here. IT IS FREAKIN' AWESOME.
I suggest Neutron Player if you want more flexibility than the Voodoo Sound Bass Boost.
Lastly, anybody have DSP Manager working on the Charge?

I would guess that it would be included in jt's CM9 ROM, no? Other than that, I don't think anyone has it working on Gingerbread (please correct me if I'm wrong).
If you're looking for legit EQ abilities, check out PowerAmp if you haven't already.

I was more curious than anything. Voodoo is awesome already.
I recommend Neutron Player if you want to really tailor your sound. Poweramp, IMO, ruins sound quality when any of the tone or EQ filters are active (even with neutral adjustments, just having it toggled on.)
Neutron iz the biz.

Voodoo Sound Plus is about as essential on this phone as Root Explorer or Titanium Backup. Seriously, it's that good.

I've run it on EP4 and it runs fine. You just have to get the apk and install it.

Yes, Voodoo Sound really is that good. I've been using since day 1 of getting my Charge(almost a year ago). And yes, Beats is just a sales gimmick. I only posted this as I'm sure there are some people who would like to try out Beats on a non-HTC phone. I'm tempted to try it just to see how high i can get the bass to kick on this phone without distorting my music but Voodoo + Poweramp presets works fine for me at the moment.
