DSP Manager for ICS Not Working - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Has anyone gotten DSP to work on ICS roms? I'm flashing the CM9 DSP Manager, and it installs fine.
Opening the application up I'm able to select presets, turn on bass boost, etc, but the sounds effects to not activate (no change in sound). They say they're enabled, but they're not.
I've tried on ROMChicago, Darkside, BulletROM. I've tried on a handful of music players to verify they were not overriding the settings.
Please don't refer me to PlayerPro or a different app to improve my sound-- I've purchased them all and tried them all, to my ears, there's no better sound than with DSP Manager setup properly.
Thanks,
TL

Works find here with beats audio mod. Only works with stock music player.

AOKP with beats mod for the SG2 and with working DSP from CM9. I searched and found them all. I use Power amp though. I wanted to see if I can make it work, and it does

So you can turn on a song, then open the DSP Manager UI, enable and disable bass boost, and noticeably hear the difference immediately?

DSP manager dynamic range
Hi,
I installed Darkside Evolution3 v7 ROM and I noticed that dynamic range really gives good results.:good:
When I turn it ON it works fine for a second or two and then the sound gets really messy.
When the volume is changed works again and in a second it switches back to a messy sound.
To listen I have to keep pressing volume buttons up and down.
have ay idea about this?
cheers.

This may sound dumb, but did you try adjusting the effects strength. I thought dsp wasn't working for me either, then I realize that it was set on slight. After I moved it to extreme the sounds are way louder.

Ya Ive tried that. when I turn it to the extreme the effect is different but the same revert issue comes within 1 second ov volume change.
But if I go up use max volume (15) it stays that way but the bass is too draggy.

I was just browsing through and found you're post. It's funny because I am having the very same issue with the Darkside Evolution3 v8 ROM. You did a wonderful job explaining the problem I was trying to put it in words but that's exactly what its doing. Turn the volume up it sounds great and then a second later you can hardly hear it. Some things I noticed, it only seems to happen with an audio jack headphones plugged in. I dont notice it with my car blue tooth. Also have you noticed a difference if you just turn off DSP mgr? I forced closed it and it was fine but as soon as I started that process again it had the same effect. It's quite annoying.

I tried force closing it and then the sound effect is totally gone and it sounds like stock player. The issue is only with the dynamic range filter.
if its turned off the issue doesn't come up. I was hoping to upgrade to v8 due to this issue and it seems that there is no luck in that as well.

Hey,
Found a solution to the dreadful issue. Install tasker and add a action which changes media volume
continuously one up and down will not effect your listening experience but will keep the effects alive.
hook the tasks up with a profile and you can make it automatic when the headset is plugged in.

I waisted whole day trying different versions of dspmanager.
Most of the files floating around just repackaged versions sometimes wrongly of basically 4 different builds.
I got 2 different packages... one is working fine with Pandora and everything else but GoogleMusic, the second is working with GM but not with Pandora... rest of the versions give either bad distorted sound or do not work at all.
I am on stock ICS. Which dsp you want?

Pandora - Is there a fix out there

Is there anyone else having issues with the sound of Pandora using new ROMS. I tried uninstalling it, reinstalling it, made sure high quality was set, tried to look for the media setting in the build prop and change it but that setting disappeared a few releases ago, and have searched through everything and still have a hard time listening to Pandora in the car because of the quality. I am not saying it is as poor as it was when 2.2 first came out but it is poor. The voices are tinny and turned way up is piercing to the ears. Base is great! But that is it. Any help would be greatly appreciated since I got rid of XM radio years ago and am strictly using Pandora.
Use the modded transparent unlimited skip version in the transparent market thread in theme section its in the opening post with a link all by its self at the bottom. Make sure you delete all Pandora data and cache as well as removing Pandora. Quality is perfect. I'd link it but I'm on xda app.
Also don't update it.

If your running CM look to see if you have DSP Manager, and make sure it's not compressing the audio, or the equalizer is on. I had compression somehow turned on one time by accident. Turned it off and it was worlds better.
I haven't had an issue with the sound quality...I agree with Mithos, perhaps your DSP settings are off?
I have had an issue with Pandora over Bluetooth dropping out, though. Happens only on first connect, if I turn Bluetooth off and on again it seems to resolve the issue...
Nope did not have compression on and I have DSP. I also download slacker and it does the same thing. I guess since it is just me maybe there is osme other program that is causing the issue. Have no clue which one since it is pretty much stock

Just want to let everyone know, a while back I was complaining about Pandora and Slaker. I decided to try a differnt ROM just to see if it was an issue with 7 and it appears that it is. I loaded Nils' Business Sense and it sounds great. To me there is a big change and I am not sure what it is. I did try multiple kernels. The thing is it sounds OK in a headset or listening it through a speaker on the phone but putting it on the car stereo where you amplify the music you can really hear some sound artifacts.

[Q] MIUI Media Volume

My DHD is currently running MIUI 1.9.23.
Once upon a time all was working well on a previous version of MIUI, but then one day I was unable to change media volume. All other volumes could be changed and worked as expected but when listening to music I went to change the volume and nothing happens. The pop up comes up with the current volume and as I press volume up the slider moves up and when I press down it moves down, but the sound does not change. I can set it all the way to mute, or up to full volume but the sound level stays exactly the same!
All other volume functions work except the media volume.
I figured I must have set something wrong and I found a newer version of MIUI was out anyway so I flashed it hoping it would fix the issue, unfortunately this is not the case.
I use my DHD as my primary music player and I'm guessing the media volume is stuck roughly half way and even though the level is changing on screen as I adjust it, there is no sound change.
Does anyone know why this is and if I can fix it?
No Ideas?
How annoying, might have to go back to iPods... really wish I didn't put so many Nano's through the wash....
Sounds like it is stuck in car mode.

My Desire HD is one of many that launches car mode all the time when plugged in to its charger. I have been unable to resolve this issue but it only adds a little steering wheel in the notification bar so I haven't bothered fixing it.
I didn't know car mode affected the headphones, is there anyway I can add the app to some sort of blocked list? I have tried uninstalling car mode but that makes it try to launch constantly and when it can't find the app is causes the whole system to hang for a minute of two.
You could download bloatfreezer I believe its called from the market
Then you can freeze that nasty car panel til the end of time!!

Just tap the wheel, that'll cancel car mode.
With MIUI, car mode transfers volume control to your cars audio. Unfortunately, MIUI cannot tell the difference between any other audio device. Plugged-in or Bluetooth.

Music Stops playing randomly

Does anyone have this problem? I'm on the latest version of AOKP with Franco Kernal...Everytime I listen to music, it will randomly stop and I would have to press play again. This happens at random times, (seconds, minutes, hours). I'm using Google Music (Play Music). I have tried PowerAMP and other players, but they seem too all do it.
It's kind of bugging me

It could be a bug with Franco's sound hacks he implements in his kernels. Perhaps try using a different kernel?

hmmm...can anyone else confirm this that's also using Franco's Kernal....
I get this on stock. I thought it was related to another piece of software (pocketcasts) that I installed about the same time the problems started. Seem that the first song is played, then it pauses or stops.
Could be a buggy headphone connector (in the phone), where it send a faulty signal telling the system that you have unplugged the headphones. Does it only happen while using headphones?
My connector does that as well, but opposite. When not using headpones it sometimes signals that something has been plugged in, and all audio is routed to the non-existing headphones.
this bug definitively occurs on francoKernel!
Try flashing another kernel (Popcorn for example) and the bug is gone.
Seems to have something to do with the sound limit. If it's too loud it stops automatically. Try reducing the volume to 60% with the hard buttons and you'll see that it stops acting like that.
It's not a Franco's kernel only problem. I have the same issue on Stock 4.0.2 (GSM, unlocked, unrooted).
It is not the headphone connector that is buggy either since i'm experiencing this with bluetooth headset as well (A2DP headset).
The music app is not crashing either since it doesn't require a full "load" when i select the app. Press play again and all is good until next time.
It happens to me on stock as well. With both the music and listen apps. Seems to happen if I'm playing music for a half hour or so without using the phone.

I have noticed this. When i turn down the volume it stops doing it. But when i turn it up to max it will start doing it again

I experience this on google listen on stock 4.0.1. I thought it was a bug with the app losing audio focus. But then they updated and claimed an audio focus fix, yet it still happens. I can force this bug to happen by multitasking moderately. So i truly think this bug is related to the over aggressive memory management on this phone.
Yea I'm using Axi0m and I notice this. I think its an issue with the headphone jack. When I installed power amp, one of the features is to detect connection to the headphones... then the phone started to randomly start and stop playing music completely random.
I updated and it seems to be fixed. Still stops occasionally but at least I can listen for an extended period.

I'm running Lean Kernel and I get this all the time when I have the volume set to MAX on the device itself, I find if I turn it down just a bump then the problem goes away. This may be some type of fail safe for the phone itself. ??? But just turn your vol down one click and you're good to go.
I always had issues playing music with franco.kernel, it did me just like you are talking about. That **** used to drive me crazy! Anyways, no issues with CM10 M2. Also using the built in CM kernel.
yup, had this thing on both stock and codename android. google music app
Just gotta wake up this thread.
I'm having this issue on CM10.2... I had this same thing on stock JB some time ago when I connected to my BT headset..
Is there any fix for this?
Btw.
I don't use any custom kernels and this is not caused by any kernel and I don't think this to be caused by BLE.

I had the same issue and realized I had the volume up too loud with the mods I had installed. Keep the volume below 80% and the problem will disappear.
Possible solution
I used to have this issue as well, where after a certain period of not actually using the phone, the music playback would just pause itself.
I discovered that I had Play music "Greenified" which is basically a hibernating task manager. That was killing the background process of any music players I had open.
Wether or not you have the Greenify app, check for any automatic task killers and get rid of them.. Maybe that will help one of you guys, it sure helped me.
Only had this happen using headphone volume boost... don't use it

XSInfinitySound works.

So tried flashing XSInfinitySound and it works. The Aroma installer version does not work but the zip for NXT devices does. Makes quite a difference. Not my work so here is the link to the original post. XSInfinitySound

I have not experienced any bugs what so ever. Also looks like he will have a new update this week. I just wiped cache and dalvik then flashed and rebooted. Does make a difference and removes the flatness of the sound. Walkman still works fine, stock eq works fine, Pandora, and G music.
The stock EQ will not work with Pandora but just flashing this makes Pandora just about perfect. It does work for G music and if you hit menu while in the app it has a listing for it. For a little extra controle I use Music Volume EQ from the market. Mostly use it for when I am in the car and to help balance things out to my liking.
Edit: I normally use Audio FX but I can not get it to work on this device. Would be awesome if someone on GB could try Audio FX and see if it works or not. I use the app on my Play with the XS mod I posted and its great. Just put it on a HTC Incredible also with no issues and its running ICS. Going to try and contact the app creator and see if they can fix it.
I been using Pandora only for a while now lol. Mainly because I use it through bluetooth in my car and the smart thing on the phone turns it on when car turns on. I'm not sure if maybe bluetooth doesn't sound as good but I mean to me still sounds as amazing as ever. It is a bit stronger I would say. I haven't tested with other things yet though. My car is also aging now lol. an 03 eclipse but it came with the premium infinity speakers. Sounds amazing on pandora with high quality checked. I'll find someone with decent headphones and try this out.
quick question. when in my car should I have it on headset or speaker mode in the dolby app? I ask because it connects via blueooth like a headset but I'm listening through speakers. I tried both and didn't notice much difference.
I just leave it on headset. Like you said there is not much of a difference between the two. This mod does seem to add that extra oomph to the music. The only thing I have noticed so far is the bass is a bit over driven when Pandora is playing. Think its more the recording quality though as its not noticeable with G music and the Walkman.
araoma does work just have to go into options
Nice. I was reading last night and saw that you had to go to options to get it working. May have to try it out but after reading on the original post it seems I will have to go back to an older nand.

[Q] Any audio enhancement will close...??

So here is my issue, and yes, searched but nothing comes up for my issue. It seems to not matter the ROM I am on, I have a T989 SGS2, currently running Avatar ROM which is 10.1 my issues is that when running a music player, baked in or 3rd party, I will use my LG Tone BT headset all day at work and at any given time, any audio enhancement app I use will crash. It can happen randomly, it may last for 5 minutes, it may last for 5 hours. Hers is where it gets weird, it has happened on other ROMs so it led me to believe that it was the music player itself, in which case was Apollo. I didtched Apollo and went to the MIUI player, but it happens there too. When I have the ear buds planted in my ear and running DSP manager, you really hear a difference when the audio enhancement quits working. So I deleted DSP mgr and added a 3rd party app, guess what, same issue. I have added Awesome beats and same thing, sometimes a reboot will fix the issue, but once in a while, I get an error of said music player has stopped working and then I have to find another 3rd party player to bypass that fault. Anyone seen thise before...?

I have always made good practice of wiping after any rom flash or app install, and fixing permissions after a ROM flash and has settled. I have been running this Power Amp trial so far and have had it playing flawless so far, cross my fingers. It doen not seem to have the power like some of the mods do, but its better then stock. Do you think the mods will increase this sound or if the pro version of the power amp worth the price?

I set the eq in power amp, I have awesome beats on extreme with no eq, nooz on hard and largest, unique...just have to put your headphones on and play with it. My phone is LOUD. With really good bass too. make sure you uncheck poweramp as your direct volumn control. Also you can present amp power amp. It would have it extra lound.
