Like it says in the title, what settings are you using in the built in EQ for best sound quality for external speakers? I can't ever quite get it right..

When I am not streaming iheart radio, I listen to high quality mp3 files from my 64 gig card at work.
I use two sets of headphones, v-moda Crosfade LP2's & v-moda trueblood V-80's.
I briefly played with the stock G3 audio player when I first got the phone & found it sounded pretty good after adjusting the settings under SoundAlive>Custom> EQ + the Extended settings. I like powerful bass & always jack it up some in any app I am using.
After that, I forgot about the stock player as I have always used both PowerAmp (paid version) & also the paid version of PlayerPro. I like these two apps & both work with the Headset button app allowing skip forward/back from ANY headet with either one or three button inline controls.
This morning, I clicked on an audio file that has a fair bit of bass & immediately noticed that it sounded better than I was expecting it to. It is a song I am very familiar with so I know what it usually sounds like. The bass was super deep and rich and it took me a minute to realize I had accidentally clicked on the stock audio app instead of PowerAmp.
I clicked out of the stock app & fired up PA but I immediately noticed the bass in the same song was nowhere near as powerful. I figured that was easy enough to correct using tone/eq settings in PowerAmp but after trying every change in settings I could think of I was never able to duplicate the rich sound coming from the stock music player app.
Am I doing something really stupid here (entirely possible) or is there some kind of simple explanation for what I'm hearing??
hi forum,
I was wondering if anyone has played with all these equalizer bass apps?
I cant seem to be able to turn up my bass settings high with out my door speakers banging like they going to blow up.
I just want to turn the bass up high on the subwoofer only and not my door speakers.
I am using a car radio android system in a car and I cant figure out how to separate my bass from the subwoofer and door speakers.
The bass sounds great when I turn it up but then the door speakers sound like they going to blow so I turn down the bass settings on the equalizer and then I loose my subwoofer bass sound.
Is there any apps that give you two channel equalizers for speakers and then subwoofer? That would be so much cooler to have two equalizer settings for the speakers and one for the subwoofer.
I have not found nothing yet in google play store.

android car radio do not have ARM11+
viper4android does not have any subwoofer controls like I asked for.
the new version does not seem to have any effect on my android galaxy phone with bluetooth speakers or phone speaker either
I was searching all over the play store for a way to boost the music sound and nothing was working in fact it would make the sound worse and lower than it already was and this is another thing we can't change without root permissions but luckily I found PowerAmp and this app literally made the music almost 50% louder so if you like your music louder I suggest you give it a shot and it can easily be found on the play store! Make sure you learn to use the equalizer and pre amp features because it makes it extremely loud but if you go into the settings and turn on the gain levels you can make it so loud that it's going to hurt your ears so just a warning lol.. Google Play Store PowerAmp!
My issue is not so much the speaker but the ear piece for calls. It just seems very low. I have issues hearing everyone unless it is cranked.... and it is still not loud enough.
Does PowerAmp affect the ear speaker too?
Update: I am guessing not since this is a "music player"

No this is only when you're playing music or videos through the PowerAmp player. Have you tried adjusting the hearing settings in settings then accessibility and Hearing? See if that may help or you can go through Settings then Sounds and Vibration and tap Sound Quality And effects and go through the entire process.

@mmw68666
What are you trying to say? Lol..
It should be noted that the lower the bitrate of the audio file being played, the lower you will be able to increase the pre-amp level before getting massive distortion. I bought PowerAmp long ago and have used it almost exclusively, and the pre-amp I generally set pretty high, but most of my audio is FLAC with some 320WMA mixed in and the rare 192 and lower for rare stuff I had to rip from Youtube or other less than ideal sources. With FLAC files you can boost the pre-amp quite high and lot lose any quality or introduce any distortion. Using my Sony MDR-XB500 headphones and FLAC files, and the PowerAmp pre-amp, the audio levels easily get to painful/damaging-to-your-ears levels without distortion, but "standard" bitrate music (192kbps-ish) starts to distort pretty low on the pre-amp.

What is the difference you see
There is no sound boost when ther slider is all the way to the right for clarity as well as sound.
Even if there is a sound boost,it is very very small
Depends on a lot of things actually...what app were you using while trying to boost sound through the video toolbox?, what were you listening it in..I mean , was it via 3.5 mm jack headphones or the inbuilt speakers or via bluetooth? All will give different reulsts and also depends on whether any other sound settings were tinkered as well.

Ok..So were you tinkering with the equalizer and other settings found in phone settings--->sound effects prior to doing this sound boost or was it in memory?This happens to me quite often when I play around with both settings..i.e. the sound effects settings and the video toolbox sound clarity and volume boost. The only way out for me was to clear the memory though recent apps and start the youtube app again and this time the sound settings in video toolbox actually works. Dont do both at the same time if thats the reason why its happening ( make sure both the sound effects and the youtube app is cleared from the memory). Best identified through headphones. On a side note, best setting for me via the video toolbox sound boost is clarity on 2 or 3 and volume on 2 or 3.

I haven't played around with the sound effects in settings yet, it's set on smart preset already,when you increase the sound and clarity can you actually sense the increase in sound quality or is it minimal?

Marked difference... quite an increase in sound quality...BTW mine is set on Video/Voice most of the times in Preset. I find that best in terms of loudness and have tinkered with the equalizer giving it a bit of bass. But thats about it
Edit Update: The video toolbox sound effects have little to no effect when the preset is kept in smart. Video or voice gives a good difference. Kindly check and confirm if thats the case.
Are there any tuts on tweaking the sound etc, and or install other better ones? Dolby atmos, viper ?

A couple of things I've noticed while playing with it:
It's completely broken. I tried to get a baseline by setting all of the speakers to 0ms delay and 0db. What happens is that the headunit outputs zero sound. It should be outputting the same sound to each speaker at the same time, but their EQ math must be wrong and they output nothing.
The only way to get it to output anything is to have a difference between the front and rear speakers. For example, if you add a 20ms delay or a -1db to the front, you'll suddenly get sound out of the front and rears.
It makes zero sense and prevents you from doing any real tuning.
What I've found is that the "best" sound is from setting all speakers to 0ms delay, all speakers to 0db, then adjusting the two front speakers to -10db. I have no idea why that works or what the headunit is actually doing with that, but it results in decent sound from all 4 speakers.
The equalizer is so overwhelming but very important to the sound. In my car all the presets sound terrible expect for "Pop" which sounds pretty decent but I'm sure I could get much better sound if i knew what I was doing.
