I'm new on HTC and I would like to ask anyone here, which custom rom with boosted notification and sound enhancement? having some hard time to pick up phone, due very low sound even to the Max, the most problemnin my sensation xe is listening music, ringing and notification sound are very low, and found out viewing video the sound is way loud, so I guess that this speaker capable to boost, so maybe the original rom has locked fully potential of the phone.. I have checked all the problem at Google, still no position it, I'm sorry to said if there is already a tread for this topic..
Sorry for.my bad English..

Hello. I know that the new sensation comes with "beats audio" and that there is software that goes with the it but. I was wondering if they put a new speaker in the phone as well because that is this phones only weakness

I have some problems with my mic when filming. When I play my video's back the sound is really distorted. It seems like it's over sensitive? I recorded a video at the beach and even the noise of small waves distorts the sound. It's kinda hard to explain but does anyone recognise this or maybe my mic is broken?

You're not the only one. That's the main reason I'm now using Stock 2.08.401.1 rooted. No more "high mic gain" on videos.

So there's no more distortion etc on that rom? I might consider flashing that because this is unbearable
Ya, they fixed it in the update. They had the mic gain set way too high which resulted in clipping.
Since I had the HTC sensation I have the same, the mic is too sensitive.
I just have a stock sensation with stock updates, Z710e it says.
How can I solve this ? Anyone ?
Thanks !

Try to record movies in mono audio.
It will not solve the problem but quality is (much) better.
first Thread here, please be kind.
first of all, awesome website, awesome developers, and awesome ARHD roms.
i flashed my sensation with ARHD sensation XE rom and it has been nothing but awsome so far. however, as a audiophile myself, i cannot help but noticed something changed in the audio department.
with the default HTC audio player, the music became almost unlistenable without Beats enabled. the overwhelming amount of bass pretty much ruins everything. I don't recall this was the case before flashing the ARHD rom. and when i use 3rd party player (like Winamp) with no EQ change, the music is on par with using HTC audio player with Beats turned on.
so here is my theory:
1. HTC is really play dirty here by purposely making the musics sounds so bad that user has to enable the Beats audio on models that support Beats audio.
2. Sensation is not compatible with Senstion XE rom?
is this an isolated case? or are you guys all experiencing it?
Thanks
Never had that, flash again maybe?

yes... I also facing same issue when listen to music using poweramp. But as far as I know beats function only work with stock music player.

i think i flashed a number of times and i have noticed this every time.
could you do test on your phone?
listen to a music file with HTC music player with beats off, and beast on.
and listen to the same file with a 3rd party player with flat eq setting.
since 3rd party player cannot trigger beats audio, it should sound just like HTC player with Beats disabled.
my problem is it sounded like HTC player with beats enabled, while the HTC player with beats disabled sounds like carp (granted my head phone cost as much as sensation itself so i might hear a bit more, but the difference should be very significant to spot with just regular earphones)
For ICS, HTC have modified the Beats algorithm (imho)
So now, beats enabled is as the player should be,
Beats disabled, has HTC crippling the sound to make Beats sound better than it is
I think.....
A very nice posting from my ARHD XE
Sorry but.... do you guys use piracy OLD version of power amp? New version of it has Beats Audio in EQ. Better just buy Power Amp and get an update with Beats Audio in EQ And on topic, I don`t have this issue. Maybe it`s related on headphones, as I`m using headphones from SE Xperia Arc S, but with some others headphones sound is really bad.
I don't use Beats anymore as it sucks out my battery.
Google Music has pretty nice sound, don't need more than that.
I've found that using dsp manager as well as beats audio gives the best sound.

this is a mode made to improve beats sound system for sense 4 roms (only works with latest ville c 1.11 base)
this will enhance the bass more and make sound more pure and clean

Hi there, great job, the mod is working great Pkmn ROM v5.1.
Isn't it just a preset for an equalizer? Or does it actually enhance the sound quality by improving bitrate and whatsoever

I'm on Ordroid 9.0.0. with Bricked kernel.
Using the Beats headphones that came with the Sensation XE (bought separately, i'm using a standard Sensation) plugged into the headphone socket, I notice much clearer and crisper sound using the Beats effect and there is a noticeable difference between each of the other equalization modes. The bass is increased drastically on the SRS setting, so much so that it's more powerful than the Beats setting.
But when i plug the same headphones into my Sony Ericsson MW600 bluetooth headset there doesn't seem to be hardly any effect and the Beats icon does not appear in the notification bar even after changing to no effect and back to Beats.
Also, when directly plugged in, in the notification drag down there is an entry as to which sound effect i am currently using and it can be changed from there. When using the bluetooth headset this is totally missing.
If you could get the same functions via bluetooth this would be an excellent improvement!

If there would be 'bitrate improvements' it would mean it would re-encode the track to another format. Maybe it's better to ditch the whole idea of 'bitrate improvement' thru sound rendering.
OQ: This is a collection of presets for the htc music stock player.
For all other questions: At this moment the OP says enough, Sense 4 base build 1.11 Ville_C RUU. It's what you get, for now.
Possibly later on there will be more versions available also for different devices.

This made srs sound great
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.

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
