simple question: Is it OK to have the DSP manager along with the vodoo app or will there be any conflicts then? I am asking because both apps seem to post process the audio but I really would like to adjust the sound via the dsp manager's equalizer since vodoo has none.
I am on CM9 alpha, and it comes with DSP Manager. I also have Voodoo installed, and so far I've been using just the DSP Manager app, and it doesn't seem to be interfering. Working ok
DSP Manager does equalizing and Voodoo control messes with your phone's amplifier. So it goes like this:
Voodoo changes hardware settings, DSP stays inside android. There should be no problems.
thank you for your replies, I just was confused by the fact that both apps let you enable bass boosters

Hi, all.
I just wanted to let you know that DSP Manager will not fix the low speaker volume on this device.
I finally managed to install DSP Manager on the rooted stock ROM. Under speaker, DSP Manager didn't display any settings you could change. It worked fine for headsets and bluetooth though.
So, if you are like me trying to find a way to boost the speaker volume, don't waste your time installing DSP Manager.

It works on CM7. I believe there is some kernel integration that helps it, if memory serves.

yeah i think the DSP app needs to use a special kernel (the one which cyanogen ROM uses) to see the effects of DSP doing its magic. running it on a stock rooted ROM wont do anything.
Some Aria users report low in-call & speakerphone volume. I personally keep my volume at max, use CM's DSP manager to boost the speaker volume maximally, and press the phone hard against my ear. Even with the windows up, the sound of the car is enough to make it very hard to hear.
I have to believe there is a way to overdrive the speaker... at least for me, even w/maximal volume settings, there is no crackle. It's as if the speakerphone is barely utilized.

First, you have to disable or uninstall DSP manager, they don't get along well.
Just in case, I'm attaching his app (unzip the file, the apk is inside) for you to install with your favorite file manager. Enjoy your new sound boost!
I just wish they would open up earpiece volume, since it is horrendously low on the Aria. I'm not sure if it's CM or what but it is too quiet on city streets.
At least now I'll hear when someone calls though, instead of finding out an hour later that my pocket silenced it.
There are 2 different sense Rom ports by drowning child that have way louder in call volume.so to me it would seem that there would have to be a way to increase the cm7 volume in the rom itself.

Funny you should mention that because it was the first thing I noticed after installing Pico

Wow, finally a nice piece of app that does Sound Widening properly. I think I could start to forget my previous Nokia phone over that aspect now. Thanks!
But yes, regrettably earpiece volume is still too low.
Cool app, my speaker crackles if any louder though, so I think I'll skip it as I would really like to keep the external speaker in tact.

I don't know what I am doing wrong here. I have downloaded this apk and installed it several times via clockworkmod, but there is no app to run on the phone after installing, nothing in sound settings to change. Please advise. Thanks!
I am running hoxnet_liberated_rc1 ROM with ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7. I don't believe that there is any DSP manager to disable in the this ROM.

The app is an apk that you have to install just like any other app and not in recovery. I also believe that it is designed for gingerbread roms. The rom you are running doesn't sound like a gingerbread rom to me.
I installed Tweak 2.0 coming from stock and had serious issues with audio. I re-flashed wiping data and the problems still persisted. I am getting audio skips when listening to music and I also had bad high pitched screeching noises. The audio was just plain "flat".
I flashed back to Eclipse with AOSP apps and the music was back to crystal clear with no skipping at all and the music was back to the "full" sound I was used to. I listen to a lot of Pandora in the car as I travel frequently. I also have the voodoo sound plus app to correct the low audio gain common with Samsung phones.
I get better battery life on Tweak and would like to stay on Tweak but can not live with the audio issues I was having. Does the audio get processed by the ROM or Kernal? I am using stock kernal for both.
I can not figure out what the problem is with Tweak Rom.
You don't have dsp manager ruining as well do you. I had to uninstall it when I can from eclipse to tweaked because audio issues.

When I went to Tweak, it was a fresh install. DSP manager is included with Elclipse ROM, not Tweak. It was not even on my phone at the time.
Running Elclipse, I leave DSP manager off (all settings disabled).
Haven't heard of this one before - have you tried just using the same apks as are used in Eclipse? Audio has never been an issue, though I haven't used much beyond the play music and pandora apps myself.
Another thought - have you tried it with and without voodoo sound plus app being installed?
Hey Dwith,
No, I have not tried just the Eclipse Apps, I would not know where to start. In regards to the voodoo sound app, I can not listen to audio with my phone without it. It does not put out the correct audio output or dynamic range. The sound level is just too low without voodoo.
One would probably not notice if they are connecting the phone to a boombox or something small but when you connect it to an aplified home theater system or an aftermarket car audio system the difference between voodoo and non voodoo with the droid charge is like night and day.
I am pretty new to flashing ROM's and such so I am sorry if I can't troubleshoot this more. I was hoping maybe I was not the only one with this problem and others would chime in.
I really like Tweak but I can live with Eclipse too. They are both great ROMS.
i am trying to add voodoo sound since the volume is too low through bluetooth. is there a kernel i can add that just adds the voodoo sound. i have the voodoo fix but, i don't see anywhere to mess with the voodoo sound. not even sure if they two are related,
i have already flashed a kernel and rom and a speed boost for the valhalla rom. i like the set up as it is i don't want to overwrite or lose anything flashing another kernel. i just want to add voodoo sound. i guess i could just flash another kernel that includes the voodoo sound right over the existing kernel if i had to?
try this

No - you need to download the app from the playstore to enable voodoo sound. With the kernel posted above you can use the free version.
Voodoo lagfix and voodoo sound are not the same thing.
Voodoo sound controls audio jack.

thx. i got voodoo sound working for me now. however it does nothing for bluetooth. i thought it would. i tried dspmanager (came with the rom) but whenever i use it it crashes. now it crashes all the time. i guess it might have a conflict with a program volume+ that i am trying but, that doesn't really help the volume issue either. i'll keep looking. i used the same headset on another phone and the volume was much louder. i couldn't even turn it all the way up. with this phone i can't get it high enough.
i got rid of the old possibly messed up version of dspmanager with titanium. then i installed the newer version and it still force closed at start up. then i uninstalled volume+ just to test and then i ran dsp and it worked but, i see nowhere that i can actually boost the sound it makes no change.
Hi.
Android apparently has some sort of equalizer. When I play music is sounds better but louder than voice, which sounds distorted.
I assume there are different equalizer settings for each.
Because voice sounds distorted I wanted to search for something tweaking the settings.
Currently I only know Viper4Android, which has to be installed as an app.
I cannot use Viper4Android, so I wanted to search for some Equalizer settings built in Android 6.0.1 itself.
Could you help me finding them? Is there anything to tweak them (build.prop)?
Where do I start looking?
Specifically it is about my smartwatch, the speaker works fine but in phone mode the voice is distorted.
I want to find some way to tweak this.
