[MOD] DSP Library Fix (CM10.x) for PowerAMP, Winamp and Others (Update) - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

- Since a long time i didn't post anything, i'm proud to present today a little work for all who need getting DSP Manager or "Equalizer" (from Google Play) working with PowerAMP or any other players in Google Play.
- Originally designed for Galaxy Nexus CM10.x builds, and now will works on any rooted device with 4.x.x Android OS !
My settings are like this :
==================
* DSP Manager (Headset mode and Bluetooth device) >
.Dynamic Range Compression : disabled
.Bass Boost : enabled (moderate)
.Equalizer : enabled > 0 to all except "16K frequency" (+6)
.Virtual Room Effect : what you want
* PowerAMP >
.Bass : in the middle
.Treble : maximum
.Equalizer : untouched (Flat)
.Direct Volume Control : unchecked (PowerAMP>Settings>Audio>Advanced Tweaks)
- If you prefer using Apollo (CM10.x), disable the DRC (Dynamic Range Compression) from DSP Manager menu.
This is it !

Is there a significant quality change when using it with PowerAmp?

Quality I couldn't tell a difference, but it gives some nice effects. The EQ seems very smooth.

Thank you so much for bravely bringing up this issue, marouane. I can confirm that DSP Manager stopped working since CM10 for any other app than Apollo. On the official CM10.1 nightlies thread, members confirmed that Google Play Music works. I use JetAudio and I am quite attached to its sound signature together with DSP Manager, and I can't have it any other way.
Also, your DSP Library Fix did not work for the latest CM10.1 nightly and the latest stable version of CM10 ): If you don't mind, I hope you can find a way to make your fix compatible with the latest nightlies. Thank you.

24bit playback is still not supported by Android Core. May be someday Google will build that...
This app is a DSP (Digital Signals Processor) which alters Sound characteristics on-the-fly to make it more Crip, Clear, Punchy and Surround... like Dolby/SRS and maybe BBE/VIVA (comparision is not required but its kind-of similar )
This app will not alter the Encoding properties of an Audio flie (256 bit, 16 bit, 48000 khz)
I hope you got the answer.
You can add 4.2.1 to the compatibility list.

Is the app effecting PowerAmp player or EQ? The reason I ask is because I've already EQ my poweramp to the best music listening to my taste.

You can defenitly use PowerAmp build in EQ (I am also a Great Fan of PowerAmp).
Noozxoide EIZO-rewire™ PRO will affect the Sound Output (Headphone/Speaker/Bluetooth) system wide. But condition is that other EQ (Standalone/App In-Build) should be disabled or turned off to make this Sound App work otherwise you will have distortion and duplicate processing and resulting in loss of sound clarity and fidelity.
In PowerAmp untick 'DIrect Volume Control'. I bet you will defenitly see the difference and start using Noozxoide EIZO-rewire™ PRO
No need to worry about EQ or DSP and this is the one solution for Ultimate Sound Enhancment.
Confirmed works wonder's on 4.2.1 i had beats installed and this blows it out the water.Much appreciate
Tested it with poweramp and i don't really like it. I still love the poweramp EQ.
Two thumbs up!!
I gotta tell ya, this is the best audio engine I've tested on the nexus 7!! Thank-you much!
will have 2 try this out
why don't you put this thread to app section? it's more suitable than here. by the way this app is very good.:good:

System wide sound. Should be working.
Please disable or remove any other EQ/DSP you might have and then try.
Check if you need to change "Settings > Sound > Music Effects > Choose Noozxoide EIZO-rewire™ PRO Series”
Found to be working and compatible with following players:
PowerAmp (100% working)
jetAudio (100% working)
BBE SonicMax Pro (100% working)
Neutron Player 32bit/64bit Generic/NEON (100% working)
NRG Player (100% working)

Stock Player (100% working)

[Links Down For Updates] [MOD] CM DSP Manager Patch For PowerAMP & PlayerPRO

Hello all, as a new user of XDA I want to contribute to the Nexus 7, So today I would love to share this patch with all of you. And also I would like to take the time to say thanks to all of the DEVs that work hard to give the public their amazing ROMs.
Info:
I have been searching for months on how to fix the ICS and JB DSP Manager so it will work with music apps like PowerAMP and PlayerPRO, Well recently I have finally finished my project of hacking the DSP Manager to work with those apps, so I am now sharing it with all of you and the patch is compatible with every ROM even if the DSP Manager is not natively installed on your ROM. This patch as only been tested with the latest versions of PowerAMP and PlayerPRO, so if you use another music app please test and tell me how it goes. Lastly if for any reason you are unable to get my patch to work please post questions here and I will help you as best as I can.
Enjoy my patch!
When Using This Patch:
Make sure that all other equalizers and audio managers are disabled and with PowerAMP specifically make sure the setting Direct ROM Volume Control is disabled
Bugs:
All:
The DSP Service sometimes closes without warning
Work Around:
Keep the DSP Manager App open in the background
Downloads:
4.1.2 ROMs
4.2.1 ROMs

I was going to try this to see if it would get DSP Manager to work with GoneMad Music Player by some odd chance, and I get the 'failed' error while flashing. I am using TWRP and running Dirty Rombox. I made sure I used the correct file, so might you have an idea as to what is wrong?

It's the zip I forgot that I used Amend Scripting for all of the zips that I made because I have an Optimus S that I also use this patch with and Amend scripting is not comatible with these recoveries, I will fix it and the new download should be up soon
The downloads are fixed and should now flash correctly, and thanks for letting me know so I could fix it, also if you have anymore issues let me know and I'll help as best I can
Alright, it flashed this time
So using GoneMad with it's own EQ turned off and set to use the default Android EQ (DSP Manager I'd assume), I tried listening to some songs again, that I had played before. I noticed some improvement in the songs sounding closer to how they should with DSP Manager, but not quite the same as they sound played by Apollo. I thought it was kind of strange that it only "sort of" worked, so I'm willing to believe it may have been placebo effect in my mind. I will try this with VLC next, as that's another player I've wanted DSP Manager effects to work with.
By the way, my ROM came with KingBeatz... Since it's DSP Manager with some stuff added in, I thought this (your mod) would work the same as with normal DSP Manager. Could this be an issue?
Re: [MOD] CM DSP Manager Patch For PowerAMP & PlayerPRO
I don't know if it is an issue but if it is still installed just make sure you disable it and I just now messed around with gone mad and it seems you have to toggle using the equalizer on there but I did manage to her the full DSP effects to work so just mess around with it and open DSP manager and toggle stuff on and off

Alright, it's working just fine now. Playing a song in GoneMad sounds exactly the same as playing it in Apollo. Thank you!

I just tested this and to get the best results if you are using PowerAMP install the latest verion of DSP Manager and it's drivers (I will have a flashable zip up soon) and have the least distortion in the sound I set the following options:
Replay Gain: both options set to -12.0db
Replay Gain: Enable apply and prevent clipping to peak
Equalizer: Flat
Equalizer: Enable
Limit: Enable

Hi I downloaded this version but the MusicFX setting in Audio-> Advanced tweak says, it is not supported by ROM. im using Xperia Neo V with CM10 based Super Jelly Bean http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2108632.
Pls help.
Re: [MOD] CM DSP Manager Patch For PowerAMP & PlayerPRO
Hmm, that's odd, I'll look into it... Try downloading poweramp build 521 instead of 519, also you might be having this problem because these new versions haven't been officially released and are probably still a WIP

In your opinion, how would you compare the sound from Acid versus DSP Manager?
I prefer DSP Manager over pure Poweramp as DSP sounds cleaner, wider, with better dynamic range. My only issue for now is I have random skipping from DSP Manager, which also happens with Cyanogen's Apollo player, so I know its not Poweramp but DSP Manager.
Re: [MOD] CM DSP Manager Patch For PowerAMP & PlayerPRO
You might have to try a different ROM and also acid is only an audio manager it has sound enhancing features but it doesn't have an equalizer so you can use it with the DSP manager

[APP]10 bands equalizer for android

Equalizer Pro for android.
Improve your android device sound with 10 bands equalizer. Equalizer Pro allows you to configure volumes of sound effects, to give you maximum enjoing, when you are listening music on your android device.

- Pop
- Rock
- Flat
Awesome work
Works fine on my good old Galaxy Tab (where the app "Equalizer" from the Play Store ceased to work since cm is running on it (at last for the speakers)). Thank you very much.
(Now if we could have shortcuts to user presets on the home screen like in Equalizer … But even without it, I'm happy.)
Thank you for feedback! We are going to implement widget in next update.
I somehow have to correct myself. The equalizer works well when I play samples from within the app itself or start TuneIn Radio. It has no effect with PowerAmp or Xiialive. What comes to my mind is that the latter two have their own equalizers built-in.
The sliders are a little hard to operate. Until now, I had only a chance to try it on my Galaxy Tab P1000, cm10.2, using its speakers. The S2 will follow, but this may take a few days.
A widget is coming ... good news!
Thank you for the great app,,,, testing it on my htc rhyme stock ics and sensation xe running revelation 1.0.2 both working good but sometimes the sound crash a bit maybe you can fix that in the next update.... thank you very much

Thank you. I will check and will try to fix this issue.
I like it so far. Just don't like having to manually go in a turn it off.
I like it so far!
But there should be an option to not show it in the status bar.
Also it's really hard to operate in landscape mode because the ads are
pushing the contents upward and makes it to compact.
And in the portrait mode you can't see all the bands,
so it hard to get a good overview.
Otherways it's really nice to have a clean simple non flashy app
that really just do exactly what it's supposed to do.
So far your app and DSP Manager is the only apps that does this.
Keep up the good work!
right installed this on my android and the audio was better, yay tanks
Suggestion and a question.
S1: Add a reset button. I just changed the default EQ and don't see a way to reset back to the default. (Edit, clearing app data works but that would obviously kill all custom created EQ's).
S2: A widget button to toggle the equalizer on/off. (Automatic detection of wired or wireless profiles would be nice but we don't need to go too fancy) A widget to turn on and off would be nice.
S3: Maybe a donate option, to export saved equalizers that you created yourself.
Q: Why does it need to read SD-Contents?
I have to say I wish I found this earlier. It is prefect and is exactly what I was looking for. 10 Band equalizer with a clean simple interface.

I for one hate notifications as well but for this instance want it. I need some headphone equalization but that same equalization creates muddy sound in my car. It serves as quick way for me to see if I still have it on
Settings --> Apps --> Equalizer Pro --> Right below force stop it has "Show Notifications", uncheck it. No more status bar notification.
Doesn't work for me using Google play . I'm an lg optimus f3

Would be perfect if there was an option to change/customize bands, my shure se215 are pretty great when i change the 5khz band and others, these bands are no option on your equalizer and others. I would pay even 10 euros for that option.
Hi,
I would like too the ability to customize each band.
I need the 120 hz band but there ise only a 162 hz band
Thanks
The suggestion of nonobio is realy good but I can imagine it is hard to do this.
I have another suggestion: I would realy like to set the pre amp manually.
The loudness of my mobile phone is very limited and the switch of a band to 3,0 db or more reduce
the loudness automatically. So it would be great to have the control of the pre amp settings.
Greetings
I guess this project is dead? That's a shame. This thing has/had potential. Just needed some minor tweeking.
It's really the best equalizer I've tested so far!!
And it is fully compliant with Sony Walkman app on my Z2 / kit-kat
Thanks a lot!

[Q] What should I know about using PowerAmp and Viper4Android together?

I just downloaded PowerAmp (love it so far) and am also continuing to use Viper4Android. Is there anything I should know about -- things to avoid, tips, etc.? For instance, is it OK to use both equalizers at the same time?
Why would you want to use both the equalizers at the same time?? The sound will surely be not up to the mark! Use the V4A FIREequalizer!
If you are having problems with PowerAmp, you first need to do this: Go to PowerAmp Settings - Audio - Advanced Tweaks. Now disable Direct Volume Control and enable Music FX!
If you have any more concerns about V4A, you need to read the official thread : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
and the Nexus 5 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/viper4android-t2543796

When you install V4A direct volume control is now 'non supported' by default (at least on the latest slimkat).
Enabling musicfx did nothing for me (I left it on anyway).
V4A did not work in compatibility mode for me, I had to run it in 'normal' mode, and turn the poweramp EQ off, so far everything is working good. I can't really tell a difference when I switch preset settings on the equalizer though..so that might not actually be working for me
I was having problems as well, Poweramp didn't want to cooperate with V4A. What I noticed is that Poweramp was still using Android's default equalizer so what I've done is I disabled MusicFX app and reboot the phone. Poweramp started using V4A thanks to that
I can sum it up in an acronym.....P.I.T.A.
