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 currently running AOSP CM7 Mod (Gingerbread).
I am looking for an equalizer/audio booster besides the DSP which comes with the ROM. DSP actually does boost audio, but results in extra noise being added randomly.
The other option would be for those CDMA Hero owners who are running DSP successfully - could you suggest any optimized settings? Everything I've tried hasn't worked.
Try power amp music. Search for it on the market. It might be what your looking for.

Searching for that app I found another one called "Equalizer" which works great as well, plus it can be used as a widget for easy adjustments.
Just another suggestion..

I have been using the DSPmanager on my cm7 rom for a while. I found when I turned up any one of the fields past 5 then my audio output becomes choppy and sometimes my phone becomes nearly unresponsive. I try not to turn up any field past 3 or 4. The higher you increase any field the more resources your phone uses. I have also heard talk in other threads about your CPU speeds could affect audio playback. You may experience noise or blips if you min CPU speed is 176 or lower. Once I made these changes I stopped having problems with my phone not working properly. But I do get occasional pauses or stuttering.
I wonder if your SD card speed could affect your music playback. I get short pauses occasionally during playback and I'm not sure if its related to the DSP or SD card or what. Or could it be the format of my SD card is fat32 instead of an ext file format? Has anyone else had this problem?

i use Louder Volume Hack ... i love it. makes everything so loud.
After playing music on speakers, and sometimes after disconnecting the headphones, I can hear a static sound coming out from the speakers. I don't know if it's a dsp manager problem or just a rom problem. Somebody with same problem? It's normal this sound to be heared for some seconds after stopping music, but not all day.
This drinks the battery very very fast.
I've kph with cranium rom.
I'm using the xxkph + cranium ROM 3.1(fix). Until now, i did not face such problem that you have. Been playing music through speakers and headphones, playing videos. No static sound. Afraid you left some steps before fully installing the custom room or cf-root.
Are you sure? Do you use the dsp manager?
Play some music on your speakers and when pausing it put your ear very close te the speaker and tell me if you don't hear it please.
I moved from froyo to xxkpm based custom rom & had this problem,found the source of the problem to be dsp manager so removed it & sound was gone. It sounded like ta, tich, ta....ta..tich. It was annoying when sitting in silent area, 1st noticed while sleeping something was making sound but could not figure out what next day I found out that speaker remains ON even when phone is not in use & it makes this funny sound.
I will flash back stock rom & test if this is indeed a problem with stock rom or custom rom.
Yes, I have the same sound. I will try removing DSP Manager. What a shame, DSP Manager is quite good, do anybody know something like it? I have PowerAMP but it has just a equalizer.
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.
Regarding BT device you might try
DSPManager -

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.
Every time I activate any of the features/processors in Noozxoide, I can hear a slight static buzzing noise in the background of any music. When I turn off the features, the buzzing goes away. Is this normal, and if not, how can I stop it? I've tried listening to my music with Poweramp, Neutron, noozy, and jetAudio. My device is a Verizon SGSIII running the latest version of PACMAN ROM. My kernel is the latest release of KT747. I have done some undervolting and overclocking using KTweaker. I also have Ac!d Audio Mod v5 (the Samsung optimized version) installed. I have good headphones (Audio Technica ATH-M50s), so I don't think it's a hardware issue. Any and all help is appreciated.
Problem resolved, this post can be deleted.
May I ask how you resolved the issue? I have the exact same scenario going on with my sgs3 as well - I'm on a different ROM/Kernel, but same base issue. Thanks!
Hi,
this is my first thread and I already searched everywhere to get my problem solved. Unfortunately without successso far...
Whatever soundmod I am using, the sound does not change at all on my HTC One XL (evita) with AOKP milestone 2.
First, I tried Viper4Android, installed everything, chose V4A in the sound settings, enabled V4A, chose different IRS files, but whatever I do,
the sound does not change at all, no matter how I change the program's settings. I followed all the installation instructions carefully,
so the program should work fine.
After removing V4A, I tried Noozxoide, installed it, chose it in the settings and enabled it. But there is also no effect on the sound quality at all,
no matter how I adjust the settings in the app.
Lastly, I downloaded some other DSP/equalizer programs like Music Equalizer, but there is no change in the sound when I adjust effects and
settings (enabling, disabling the program does not change anything, all equalizer pre-sets sound identical, extra bass has no effect etc.).
As I use my phone for listening music every day, the sound quality is quite important for me and compared to the Sense with Beats Audio it is
really much much worse.
The sound quality is the only downside compared to the stock rom for me, otherwise I am very happy with AOKP and the rom works very fine.
Does anyone know where the problem might be?
Are there any soundfilters in AOKP that prevent sound mods to work properly?
Any other HTC/AOKP users that have/had similar problems?
Thanks a lot in advance..!
