FIXED hulu audio.. thanks to illogic6

FIXED..thanks very much to illogic6

same problem...mine is working great now
i was running cm6 rc2 and had the audio as slow as could be... i simply went into dsp manager (app, already installed) and clicked on phone speaker. I then moved the yellow bar (currently should be half way) up to 2/3 of the way (slide it to the right) on each option. When i went into hulu, the commercial seemed slow, then the show started and it worked flawlessly. I may have had to restart the browser once after the dsp manager thing. Even after doing this, i think dsp manager might have reset, but the hulu fix stayed.
I hope it helps you! (i read this somewhere on the forums and it seemed to work for others too)

Thanks for trying but still a no go. Went to 3/4 then to full and still the demon sounding voices..its just weird cause the video is awesome and the add play sometimes, but as soon as it gets to show goes to the demons..any other ideas ?

there was some audio quality issue with 2.2. i cant remember the fix had something to do with reverting to an older audio decoder. i would search around for that.

I've been looking into this for the past hour or so.
Streaming audio wasn't working quite right in early builds of 2.2. (ie Pandora)
A fix was implemented which corrected this, but seems to have given us the demon voice in Hulu.
This poster applied a patch that reverted this fix. According to him, after changing his build.prop, both worked.

I'm trying to track down this revert patch to play around with it. It seems the Incredible users are obtaining the fix through ROM Manager... doesn't seem to be available to EVO users though.
That's where I'm stuck.

Okay, I think I've got it reverted properly. Initial tests are successful. No more demon voice.
THIS WILL DISABLE STAGEFRIGHT AND MAY CAUSE OTHER THINGS TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. ALWAYS NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING.
Flash the attached undo file and make the following change to your build.prop:
media.stagefright.enable-http=true
to
media.stagefright.enable-http=false
Both Pandora and Hulu seem to be working on the most recent Cyanogen nightly. I can't vouch for the stability of this just yet, so flash at your own risk.
EDIT: I've noticed two side effects of applying this fix. The mobile version of youtube.com does not seem to function anymore and your Quadrant score will take a huge dip. I wouldn't worry about the Quadrant score much because I'm not seeing any noticeable reduction in actual performance.

Yea I see in skyraiders rom for the icredible it has the audio fix in his dev goodies..i hope up u figure it out cause that would be awesome..thanks for helping

XDA
Please update the title of the thread to reflect that this has been resolved.

great job illogic6. ...i will try this if my audio doesn't work on the newest FINAL CM6!!
...it is strange though, i wonder why my audio didn't need any "fix"...it just kicked in after messing w/ the dsm manager?? and even after my dsm changes didn't stick...it just worked??? i will say, for some reason my youtube and xda app stopped working not long after!

Thread fixed and donation made...thanks again

Help with DSPmanager??

So I am a bit of an audiophile. I like my music, but I can't get DSPmanager to work. I'm running CNA 1.5.5 with Matr1x kernel. I flashed the zip for it and it shows up, but selecting anything doesn't make a difference. I know what to listen to as well.
So I have been using poweramp lately. Can anybody help me figure this out?

Same problem here, but here's something of use.
I have CNA on my Moto Atrix 4g, and I have that same exact problem. I looked around in my /system/apps/ folder and discovered that it wasn't there. After manually making DSPManager.apk a system app (which is the only way to make it work on other ROMs), I discovered that there is already an Equalizer app called AudioManager.apk or something like that, and it is the only equalizer that will work on CNA. Sadly, it is not designed to be a User app, meaning you can only open it from another application (i.e. in Google Play Music going to Menu>Audio is the only way to access it). It does include a 5-Band Graphic Equalizer (with presets) and Bass Boost and 3D Sound Sliders, which work pretty well. Sorry I couldn't provide you with an answer that completely solves your problem, but I hope this helps!

[Request] Will pay money for a stock rom VOLUME BOOST hack/mod

Hello,
I've had enough of this bull****. The volume level is unacceptable on Xperia J. The sound is not loud enough on any phones to me, the same for my friend so that disqualifies broken phone. Some sort of audio compressor (software) is lowering the volume level on the device on purpose, I don't know if it's EU laws, or programmers fault, equalizer, musicfx app or whatever, someone should be able to hack it somehow.
Someone please modify the framework.odex or framework.jar to set higher volume levels please, I cannot do this because of odexed file and I don't know how to deodex it correctly.
None of the volume boost apps (including BeatsAudio) work on the stock rom (they just either don't work or brake the whole sound alltogether).
I'm offering $20 to however makes a volume boost level modification for the stock rom. I don't care about CM10 as it's not stable.
Thank you!

Uhhh...you know that Sony has XLOUD that is supposed to increase sound of speakers.
But I agree, even when calling sound on my Miro is really,really low. But I think it is not due to software, maybe hardware.
My old Sony Ericsson K810i is much better xD

xLoud is for the speaker. Not headphones. It does not affect headphones in anyway. Please everyone who thinks otherwise stop posting lies.

Service menu does not have this option on Xperia J. And I'm not lazy I've tried, check the questions subforum for my volume boost thread.

CM10 is fully stable now, apart from the radio not working fully yet.

I guess you don't understand what fully means then. I'm sorry but I need a stable device for work, I will never get a totally custom rom, I'm done with this.

Steam. - are you... cmon FULLY stable mean FULLY stable without broken things. CM7/8/9/10 was always broken... (eg. camera, radio, wifi... random crashes... )

Who said I'm angry? I am not angry I'm just saying how it is. And shahkam thanks, you were very helpful. The device is fine, the software has a restricted volume for some stupid reason.

this is fairly easy to do if you spend a little time looking and learning

Believe me I've tried, soft-bricked the phone twice so far. I just know that people posting around here are far more superior in Android modding than me.

I noticed that xperia phones outside canada suffers from this issue I had an x10 and my friend another xperia pro and none of us had an low volume while everyone on the forum had it ..
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

That's because of European Union's law prohibiting manufacturers from using more than 90 dB I think. Anyway it has something to do with stupid EU law and devices here have lowered volume by default.

Cleaned thread,
Lets please stay on topic and be civil. This thread is only 2 pages, and has already gotten out of control.
The OP is looking for something that could be a problem for a lot of users. Lets not make a mess of the thread again please
Thanks

chalenge accepted.
you can try this several step to increase your volume. first of all I have to tell you that this mod didn't work on sony's stock music player and the radio since both of these app doesn't support any sound effect app (there is a little method to use eq app on this app but it doesnt give optimum result). you need to use 3rd party app like google music player or sony's walkman player to activate the effect. here are the required step:
1. install clearbass enhancement mod from me (the link is in my sig)
2. follow the guide to activate sony's clearbass on that thread
3. select musicfx as your sound effect app. >setting>sound>sound effect>musicfx.
3. install the beat bass app from my zip file. skip this step if you're already using it.
4. reboot your phone
5. if you're using google music player, go to equalizer setting. set all the eq to maximum. turn off the bass bost setting and set the slider at minimum.
6. open any music file with your music player
7. open the beat bass app. carefully set the eq to your desire. (be carefull. it could be very loud. you might want to use only half of your volume).
8. press home to save your eq setting. if you press back the beats app will be closed and you'll lost your eq setting
EDIT:
btw, I don't have working paypal account. if you found that this trick really work you don't have to pay me. you can give that $20 to any orphanage, social foundation, or anyone you think deserve to get that money.

There is a option in build prop that says "hearingprotection" not sute if its the cause for low volumes. You'll going to need root access to modify it. Will post screenshot soon.

Just checked it, volume is still lowered after about 0.5/1sec

@kurotsugi
I don't want to interfere with software that much by putting files from totally different phone to mine, I want this stock rom modified so that it removes the dB restriction. I even know where is it but I can't access it because it's odexed. It's simple as that.
@ARVolutionz
This does nothing, I've already tried that.

Search for a deodex method ?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I did and I don't know how to odex it back again to make it work. If it differs from the original file the system won't boot (I guess).

and btw. we must deodex framework file ;/

well...all the files in my zip file is taken from sony's stock rom. if you only want to install clear bass you only need to copy soundfx libs, conf file in /vendor/etc and the. all these files are from sony and doesn't break anything in your system. you can even uninstall it by simply delete the config file in /vendor/etc. my trick above is actually exploit a bug under sony's lib which is conflicted with android native's lib. the sounds got louder since there's two eq app working at same time. thus, made the volume alot louder than before.
anyway, it seems that you're know better than me. if you tell me which file need to be modified and the detail about which line should be modified I might do it for you. I have all stock app files already deodexed in my laptop.
EDIT: I forgot that you're using J. if you could give me the app with the odex file I'll try to deodex it.

6.0 Marshmallow: Missing EQ and sound settings are hidden in Play Music

The audio effect settings are now hidden in the Play Music app. I disable the app, since use Amazon for downloads (no device restrictions) and Poweramp for music. None the less, you can still access the audio effect settings, even if Play Music is disabled.
It is the same audio effect settings and appears to still be global. If it were linked to the Play Music app, I should not be able to mess with settings when the Play Music app is disabled, but I can. I created a shortcut to the Audio Effects with QuickShortcut (handy app!).
Audio Effects are accessible with the QuickShortcut app, so no need for the Play Music app.

That's just equalizer it was always there , on 5.0 sound effects was gone and put back. All you do is disable default EQ app.

The equalizers came back after the new play music update.

The Audio Effects were located in the sound page of settings (at the top). They are gone now, but can still be accessed as noted above and without Play Music active (I don't use it).
Testing Youtube and other apps. it sounds like the settings are global (for what I checked), as they were prior to the super great amazing fantastic MM update. All of those adjectives are sarcastic, since I see no improvements but do notice the EQ setting missing from where they were and connecting to a PC went from simple fast connection, to a sporadic pain sometimes.

No, it isn't global anymore.. please test further.
Also the left and right channel doesn't switch anymore when rotating in landscape.. check for right/left channel tests in Youtube.

yes, this. why in the HELL would they remove that? did people seriously complain that they thought this was a glitch? wouldn't surprise me, since most people are dumb lol. this annoys the piss out of me.

Maybe if they'd done it correctly from the start -- meaning with no gap in playback, or at the very least a crossfade between channels -- no one would have complained and it could've stayed.

Marshmallow seems to have broken eq. I cannot get audio effects or market equalizer to do anything more than placebo eq. Even some apps with built-in eq have their eq break. . Bluetooth, any way. Yet, to test over eat buds.
---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------
You can also see at a glance the eq of audio effects is pathetic, if it happened to work. . In real world, there is a huge need for huge adjustments in ear buds, speakers, environments. . The variation of sound setup is huge. .
Not to mention BBE or other clarification effects. Which is essential, on top of eq.

Workaround
Now that we know that this doesn't work, (and probably isn't going to be a priority to fix in the next software update, given Lenovo's haphazard nature of releasing broken patches) what's the best workaround? Can Viper4Android be used with the stock, rooted Rom? Or can this blunder only be fixed with a custom Rom?

Viper works fine on stock. I highly recommend Arise audio (Viper is included).

It's interesting that you mention that because I had literally just discovered A.R.I.S.E. and installed it not even two hours before you posted . Thankfully, I can report that it does appear to be working brilliantly on the stock ROM when using the "Leviticus 1.3" version. :fingers-crossed:
I'll report back if I discover any issues, but so far, it looks good!

Cool! I've been using Arise since they started. Fantastic group of developers. Super nice and helpful. There are tons of options, but it can be simple as well. I'd recommend the newer Deuteronomy builds, but they're all really good. Any questions, just ask in the arise thread. Fyi there are a few incompatible versions. It'll show itself trying to take video and it'll stop with an error message that says that something else is using the mic.

Phew! Video recording is working! Crisis averted. Is there anything else to watch for with these audio tweaks?

Obviously with Viper processing, battery drain will be a bit more. Otherwise just enjoy the music.

Will do . I assume the additional processing required would be comparable to what I experience right now with the Note2 and equalizer found inside of S-Tweaks. Hopefully not when it's sleeping and not playing any sound though.

solved.
Go to apps in settings, scroll to default equalizer ( in my case sound alive). Disable that and then go to music app (eg spotify) and then go to the equalizer settings and it will come up with your own equalizer app (eg V4A)

PS: THIS DOESN'T FIX THE HISSING/STATIC ISSUE.
#IF IT WORKS FOR ME IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN IT'LL WORK FOR YOU! I'M JUST SHARING MY EXPERIENCE & I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HAPPEN TO YOUR PHONE OR YOU PERSONALLY.
So basically what's going on is as if someone is pausing & playing really fast every now and then something like a hiccup action whether in music, videos and even games.
One might think this is just a hardware problem or even an SDcard problem, but trust me it's not, well not entirely.
I've been busting my ass off trying to find a solution for the past couple of weeks and you won't believe how easy it is to actually fix the damn thing.
First of all: if you're not familiar with what I'm talking about or you simply don't face the problem, then PLEASE DON'T MIND ME & SIMPLY MOVE ON.
Alright what you need to do is simply two things:
1- UNINSTALL MUSICFX USING "System app remover" or whatever's similar.
2- YOU GONNA WANNA INCREASE "Min CPU Frequency" to 1036 MHz (more or less) but that was the sweet spot for me. So for that i just simply gone with FrancoKernel's app, but you can try out different apps too, i believe KernelAdiutor might just do the trick.
3- Reboot.
And BAM! no more inconvenience listening to music or watching movies.
now I'm on AEX rom w/ Franco'sKernel, Xposed, 200+ apps & a 128GB SDcard and everything seems to be working great as it supposed to. 'FingersCrossed xD'

I've had this for a while now on notifications, did you have that as well? I'd get a notification and it would stutter/clip as you said, did this solution fix it?

very extreme and partial "solution"
this will create more problems (specially with battery)
