I'm still not allow to post on dev threads (not 10 posts yet) so I'll try here.
I just installed the Executioner Rom 2.5, which is great by the way.
When I am in Pandora or Music Player and change Beats Audio settings I cannot hear a difference.
If I go into music player and use the built in EQ I hear the music change.
Does anyone else using this Rom or others know how to get Beats Audio settings to work?
I can turn it on or off and it always sounds the same. It seems like I'm not using it correctly.
You have to open beats audio and enable for speaker, head phones, and blue tooth individually. Also there is a section for effects and you can select light moderate or heavy. Have you tried it that way. There is also another spot for EQ either pre set or set it the way you like it.

Yeah, it is enabled under system settings. I also enabled headset and speaker. No matter which settings a change it sounds the same. When it is turned off it sounds the same. I'm pretty convinced it is installed, but not working with this ROM. If anyone know how to make it work though please let me know.
You could just use a flashable zip

Try going to settings, sound, sound effects. Then choose beats as your equalizer. Hope this works. If not try acid audio 5 with Walkman add-on. Sounds great with Walkman player.

Wipe caches, fix permission. Then go into setting, sound, music effects, beats

So I went and looked at the Acid 5 and it states that the two equalizers that come in the Executioner Rom do not work together.
Beats was already activated under settings as I said so it must be that they are not compatible.
I went ahead and uninstalled all of the equalizers and installed the Sony Walkman App.
It sounds really good with Acid, but the enhanced sound does not work (crashes the app).
I expected that much because that feature doesn't work on any rom I've tried.
Now I'm going to try uninstalling everything again and just installing Acid and Beats.
Hopefully, Beats will actually do something if I remove the other equalizers.
I think Beats is more of what I am looking for because I don't want to have to use Walman app.
I've tried tons of Acid Audio combinations. The only time there is a difference is when installing Acid vrs. before Acid.
On the GS3 with any of the Touch Roms you can go into sounds settings and changing them does nothing.
I'm not complaining. Acid by itself is just fine. I just want to post this so others know not to waste their time.
Don't bother installing any of the Add-Ons. Just install Acid and be done with it.
If you like Walkman and don't mind the sound enhancements do not work, then it is a good choice.

This is a great player but I wish it had a better way to organize play lists other then going through the native android system. I am having a problem with playing back music. When I get songs with a good bit of bass in them I get some distortion. I do not get the same when I use the native player or winamp. It happens with or without the EQ turned on but less with the EQ turned off. Anybody have any ideas why this would be. Maybe different audio codecs???
The distortion sounds like sssttt every time the bass would hit.
P.S. - I am running poweramp on the HTC EVO and these are unmodified Mp3 files I am running.
change the pre-amp
tried that but have the same problem...that just seems to minimize the problem but it is still there.

ditto.............sounds much better with it off
Is there any way to improve the sound quality, its not horrible but Im wondering if it is, on here Ive seen something like this for the galaxy S2
"samsung-galaxy-s2-sii-via-dsp-manager-cyanogenmod-7-music-player" guess you all will have to google it without the quotes because I cant post links right now since Im new, but it should be the first link that comes up.
Do I need to have CyanogenMod installed (Which we cant right now of course) to use this or is it just the player ripped from there and I can install like a regular rooted app
If I'm not mistaken it should just be a simple apk. You can dump it in your system apps folder or install it normally. Those apps.are just heavily skinned and tweaked to work with a broader spectrum of devices. If.you get the music player can u upload it here as well?

Yeah, go to settings/audio effects and you can set two different profiles, one for the phone speaker and one for the headphone port, check it out.

By default the music player has a bunch of horrible sound effects enabled. Turn them off and I think you'll find it's much better.
settings - audio effects
thanx for the input I went through and compared it with the stock and poweramp and im not noticing an extreme improvement in the sound to justify removing the stock music app Ill just stick with poweramp and i did turn off the audio effects and it does sound much better too
Really the music app im referring to isnt that great either to me its simple which is ok but I like the functionality for poweramp better ie.. player screen available when locked etc... but Ill try to remember to post a link up once Im back on my comp but if you dont want to wait for me to post the app up you can google what Ive got in quotes and it should be the first link
PA is my music player of choice too.

Hi all,
as you know - phq has poor headphones audio output.
Sound is like flat
I have tested many headphones and now i have ibeats.
I tried to install beats apk from market - phone wont boot...then install beats zip in twrp - phone
wont boot...then install older version - phone boot, but audio quality still
Can you please help me with this?
Yes. Download PimpMyRom and install Beats Audio via flashing the zip from recovery. After that, a free market download Beats Audio Installer. Run that as well. Now after all that go into settings/sound/music effects and select Beats option. In your app drawer u will find the Awesome Beats Audio app to customize the sound. Prepare to be blown away!

...can you tell me what is for you the best audio setting on beat apk???
Suggestion
I use AC!D SoundMOD, and it really seems to help. Though it does have quite a footprint in my phone, and requires some tweaking to get the best result.

That's strange. I use Poweramp player, and with the built--in eq and preamp Beats Audio turns it into probably the best sound emitting device I have ever used, and I have been a club DJ for 8 years and a musician for 30 years. Take a look at my screenshot to see how I have mine set up...did u also install the driver from Beats Audio Installer * root from the market?

These equalizer settings sound great man, I use n7 player my music sounds great. The only issue I run into is when I use GPS or get a text while listening to music on n7, the audio from the GPS and notification is so low I can't hear it. I'm not certain if this is due to equalizer setting, beats audio, or n7 player.

Install them both just like normals apps
They will ask you to install drivers
for FX click CortexA15/Neon

Once you are done with a reboot, go to system > sound > music effects > V4A FX > Profit.
Both of them can run together simultaneously.

Thanks a lot! Got it running. But are you sure it works with Google Music and Pandora? I'm playing music in my car and switching between a lot of settings in the FX app and nothing is changing. Not sure if I'm missing something or what.

It wasn't working with Pandora for me as well, but one day after cache/dalvik or might have been dirty flash since it removes files.
Play around with it for a bit.
It should work with every audio output.
okay good deal. Just curious, why do you have master power off? Doesn't that need to be on for it work?

Yes you have to turn on master power or nothing will work. If you are in compatible mode with both apps you want to select another option in your sound settings, I use the standard FX. Also don't be concerned it the driver status screen shows the app isn't working, it's a problem with the status screen. You should be able to hear a major difference by switching the master power off and then back on. You will hear a difference when you switch the other settings but some will be fairly subtle.
Yeah I got it working, but I only hear a difference with my bluetooth headphones. A big difference actually. In my car, I'm not getting the differences. I'm thinking because my Pioneer head unit. It has its built in own EQ curve settings that I can change but I don't think I can turn it off. Not sure if that's whats causing the issue or not. But I did notice it does make it a little too "bassy". I'm sure that can be adjusted though. I just wish I could get it to work in my car because that's where I really want it.

If you are still having trouble with Pandora, here's the solution
using root explorer or similar app, edit build.prop > lpa.decode=true to lpa.decode=false > reboot.
THIS IS NOT MY MOD. I AM NOT THE DEVELOPER. GO TO THE OFFICIAL THREAD AND SUPPORT THE DEVS CAUSE THIS MOD IS A BEAST.
This is by far the best sounding device for the Viper mod (imo).
Follow this link and READ the op, then download zip for the latest version near the bottom of post #1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
Or visit there official website http://vipersaudio.com/blog/?page_id=48
Extract the file for 4.xx / open file / install apk.
Open the app and you will be prompted to install the driver. Choose high quality then it will install the driver and prompt you to reboot once completed. That's it! Once installed, you can then check for updated versions in the settings menu which is a nice feature.
To Start:
You will probably want the FX Compatible Mode set to Compatible since most music players EQ will not work together with the mod (settings / FX Compatible Mode / Compatible).
The stock music player is not compatible so you'll need to find one you like that is. I use power amp, but there is a setting you must enable for it to work. settings / audio / advanced tweaks / direct volume control and musicfx checked. Once this is done, return to the EQ settings and go to Tone/Vol tab. Make sure MusicFX is lit up. Sometimes the player will fug up and disable this while you're listening but still lit up. Just push it off then back on.
In Viper, there are three levels of settings. Go into settings / UI Setting and you'll see beginner, moderate, and expert. Each open a little more options in the main settings that will let you tweak the hell out of this thing. Most of what I tweak is only available in expert.
My Settings:
Ok, Let me start by saying that I listen to heavy metal so my overall experience may be different from yours unless you're a bad ass like me
Also, I pretty much use this in my car so my settings will likely sound different on what you've got. I have a 10'' sub with just 300 watts and factory door speakers. My power amp eq is only moved one notch up starting at 250 then two notches at 4k and 8k and the tone and limit buttons are off. When using the same settings, Country music and other stuff (Alice in Chains, Aaron Lewis, Stained etc.) sounds great too. To test the limit of your system and start with a good base, play some high quality classical music while tuning your settings.
For my car, I have the headset tweaked WITHOUT certain modes on to reduce constant 'waves' in the music.
- Playback Gain Controll, Field Surround, Differential Surround, Headphone Surround+, and Reverberation are all disabled.
- FIREquilizer is set at "Rock" then tweaked to reduce the low and high, and add a little mids.
- Impulse Response Samples (irs). I enable the convolver from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439254. READ UP on this because it's difficult for me to explain. I just started using this one so I'm playing around with the different impulse resonse mods, but BBE Harmonic Maximizer Preset 2.irs is pretty damn nice. There are directions on how to install the files in that op.
- Dynamic System is enabled on mine. This will be part of where you will need to keep adjusting the settings to your liking. I use "Common Earphone(v2)" and set the dynamic bass at 4%.
- Fidelity Control is another one you will need to tweak. I enable ViPER bass, bass mode subwoofer, bass frequency 100 Hz, ViPER clarity is enabled, natural clarity mode, clarity at 6.0 dB.
The bass, guitars and kick drums come through the speakers without any distortion and the mids / highs are clear as hell without too much treble.
If you use headphones, you will probably need to modify your settings and use some of the surround sound stuff. I save two separate effect profiles though. This also applies to watching movies. You'll wanna play around with the settings and irs mods.

Good question. I guess it depends on what eq it uses. I deleted Google play music but I'll try Pandora and let you know.
-edit. Pandora doesn't work for me but there might be a way to enable it which would be in the dev's thread. I don't think it uses your device to control the sound though. Someone test Google play music and reply.
