I don't know about the bravia engine, but I have the beats hack on my GP 4.0 and all it really does is increase the overall output (db) of the audio. But you have to turn it on first to actually hear how much louder and clearer it is.

you definitely hear the difference when you use beats audio...but same as obscuresword said..i cant say it for the bravia..

I've flashed the Bravia Engine from here http://xxxpachaxxx.kleinrealms.com/?p=52 on my EVO 4G (still hangin' on) and don't really see a difference, although others have said they have. YMMV I guess...

It depends probably on ROM which you have installed. When i had normal CM7 without beats audio hack included soud was normal, and when i installed this hack, sound was also normal. But when I installed ICS style by JM (based on CM 7) and there was audio beats included, sound is perfect especially on headphones give a try on other roms and you should see difference

Beats Audio and xLoud mod

Just a heads up to those who may not know, there is a Beats Audio/xLoud mod/port on the board and it works on the Atrix 2. Beats adds a deeper, cleaner bass and cleans up the mids/highs too. xLoud is a Sony Ericsson thing, it basically boosts the overall volume of ur audio. I just flashed this mod to my phone and holy ****, huge difference! I had to turn all my volumes down media/ringer/alarms. My good cans are packed (moving this weekend) so no testing with them yet but after hearing the difference I just heard with only the phone speaker I'm expecting to be very happy.

where is the xloud .zip file?
Whoa - déjà vu!
xLoud is included in the zip.
Audio volume really is increased overall (I too had to turn everything down) and the beats makes the bass sound sweet!

Yep, very noticeable difference. This one is much better than the first one w/o xLoud.

Maybe its just me, but I can't seem to find a difference in quality using the car dock. Audio goes out the car docks 3.5mm jack to my Volvo s60r's stereo. I was hoping for some more volume.

Tried this tweak last week and it's great. My highs have come alive and it sounds much cleaner.
So how does the mod affect the Motorola stock equalizer?
I'm assuming the beats audio is only effective in the My Music app? So do I have to disable the "Effects" in settings to hear the Beats Audio? Or should I switch that to custom?
This work well seems crisper...... Did notice if the bass is overpowering the mids and lows go to sound settings and un-tick enable audio effects..... For me with headphones will set effects enabled effects profile custom surround ambient eq bass punch WOW!!!!!

Mine are....I have had to turn all my volumes down since installing this mod. I haven't done any critical listening since I don't use my phone like that anyway, I was just hoping for louder system sounds and that's exactly what I got. The Beats is just an added bonus.
Ok are we supposed to download the one that says older zip files test301.zip or the allandroidzip.zip that looks to be the newest?

Works great thanks! Sounds a lot better ican tell right away
So im sorry but I did this. And to be honest it didn't sound better at all. In fact I think it was worse everyone keeps saying stuff like wow... what a difference. But I hear worse clarity, more bass but... im a musician and so sounds I hear more clearly maybe than most but Idk.... anyways like I said im not trying to be rude.

Yea these are some of the same complaints I've heard about the actual beats headphones because they're made really for more hip hop songs and not a wide range of music the highs are where those headphones usually suffer IMO

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.

Would have to say the same. Not noticing a difference. Android did optimize 40 some "things" after flash, but not exactly seeing or hearing any difference. Using trickdroid 4.0 so not sure why, or if at all, they would be conflicting. What apps would we need to look for to know its their? I don't see any new, but android did.

Same here.
I really don't mean to sound like I'm pushing this mod down or being a douche .
Just trying to give feed back.
Also idk if everyone else's speaker is also pretty low like mine or not but I'm using volume+ hoping to increase my volume. (Which it moderately did) but the volume mod from here caused that app (volume+) to no longer work.

I'm pretty sure the XLoud is for you headphone output, not your phones speaker. Like Beats. Beats only activates when headphones are plugged in or streaming via bluetooth.

Beats audio gone? URGENT

Okay I flashed the cyanogenmod rom... and im not sure if i still have my beats audio because everytime it used to show a beats audio logo on the top and even in the notification bar and it had a circle with a green check next to it giving u the option to turn off and on beats audio...now not so much.. can someone tell me if i do or not and can u help me get it back if not?
Beats audio was more of a software than a hardware feature on the One X. The cm10 people and probably most of the us who use it would prefer and point you towards the DSPManager app that is installed. That gives you a fuller control over the equalizer and is typically better than the beats audio software.
Also try jet audio player.. It's awesome and has an equalizer, a bunch of presets, and you can really tweak the sounds.. I look in the themes and apps to find a copy

You should be glad.
Beats audio is just a gimmick. An equalizer, a software feature, not hardware.
The audio engine that comes with CM10 is much better , and acid audio,,etc.

Agreed. Beats isn't even necessary if you use an amplifier like Poweramp. What Beats adds is hardly anything but a bit of low bass resonance. If its off and you have an equalizer you can easily make up the sound difference with said equalizer.
I happen to enjoy Poweramp. It turns my car audio setup Into an even more powerful stereo due to preamp etc.

[Q][Xperia E] What audio engine do you use?

Hi! I have heard of ACID, Viper, and other sound engines. I'm just wondering what audio engine are you using on your Xperia E or are you using the stock xLoud. And which would you suggest as the best fit for Xperia E?
I'm using viper's right now. thanks...

I use PureAudio by Jeeko. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41786745&postcount=1
Although I'm not a fan of anything associated with Beats, I like this engine. It really gives a nice, richer sound, because the audio renders a lot faster. This is not a placebo, and I promise you will find a great improvement, especially in songs with a lot of vocal.
I had it on my CM10, and then I had to reflash it. I listened some music without this engine, and you really miss it. My example is Demons by Imagine Dragons. It starts with a nice vocal, and somehow the voice of Dan Reynolds sounds better with this audio. Hard to explain, you have to experience it yourself.
Note: I'm talking headphones/earbuds here. The sound of the speaker won't be much better.
Hope I informed you well, and have a nice day!

hello buddy here is a little trick that u can enjoy good quality of sound on both speaker and headphones. Tried and tested and hundred percent working in stock rom of XE. for me viper is the best just u have to be rooted. install the app viper4android and install the drivers from the app itself. Now using root browser remove sound enhancements and and music fx but dont remove the libs.
reboot.
et voila!
u have now viper but also fully functional xloud on ur XE.
:highfive:
I use v4a, and will always keep using it. I prefer it because I like the Dynamic Bass System. It'll literally create that BOOM-BOOM effect if u know what I mean (earpods/earbuds/headphones)
