Has DSP Manager ever worked for your Galaxy Nexus in any rom? I am willing to downgrade my rom to get a working DSP Manager. I already tried different music apps (Neutron, PowerAmp, JetAudio, MX Player) on all custom roms from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2--this all took a frustrating long day--and DSP Manager only works with Apollo music player. I am quite attached to DSP Manager in my LG P500 which I converted into a dedicated mp3 player using JetAudio Plus, and I can't listen to a different sound signature than what that combination gives me.
there are roms that have working DSP managers but i think most if not a majority of the gnex community uses:
-noozxoide
-awesome! beats
-king(?) beats
you can try the noozxoide sound engine(dsp replacement) with NOOZY music player.
or if you want to venture further, theres the ac!d audio thread and their engine

THANK YOU JT for the reply! I wasn't hoping to get one, much less this fast.
I'll try those immediately and report the results.
DSP Manager works but only on Cyanogenmod's default music player Apollo. I've seen similar reports but on other Galaxy Nexus forums, not this one, so I was thinking it's an inherent problem with the device OR like in reports on other devices, something happened with Android 4.1.x and 4.2.x that made DSP Manager stop working like it used to.

Wow, it looks like a party in there! THANK YOU for the reply! I'm definitely trying that one as well.
I tried Beats before, but I immediately went back to DSP Manager. What I love about DSP Manager the most is the bass boost, because I've never heard a deeper, punchier, distortion-free bass than DSP Manager's, and I listen to chiptune dance music a lot.
Also, I noticed that when you cup your hand just below the speaker vent of the Galaxy Nexus, the sound volume increases ten times that it's deafening! It's really weird! Has anyone else noticed this? The side of your cupped hand should touch just below the vent, while holding the phone like normal.

lol yeah that's normal.
by cupping the speaker area, you're allowing the sound to bounce off the walls of your hand hence the "louder"-ness.
the same thing can be achieved by putting your into a tall cup or leaned against a wall in a cabinet allowing it to bounce and echo

Heya bon badier what exact rom are you using? EDIT: okay I see in your signature you're using the Cataclysm rom, but just to confirm if this is the one working with the audio effects app you mentioned.
None of the apps mentioned worked on the official CM10.1 nightlies. It only affected Apollo but nothing else.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that putting just the tip of my finger just below the vent making a 45 degree angle boosts the volume tremendously. I thought a simple contraption mod could do the same thing, like a small flexible flap the same width as the vent.
Also JT what exact rom are you using? As I said, all the apps mentioned behave the same way as DSP Manager on the official CM10.1 nightlies. They only worked on Apollo and not on anything else. EDIT: I see in your signature you're using Xenon HD with purity kernel, so this is just to confirm.

Hey guys, I don't know whether ur scared of the topic but no one has found ways to better the sound quality of the phone . Everyone is able to port stuff and create roms but never anything about sound improvement like porting dolby from other android mobile.

Nothing wrong with my Desire, I can make calls just fine thank you!!
I reckon people with issues with the volume are the ones that will suffer from deafness early in life as they probably crank up the volume on all devices
i didnt mean voice calls, i meant when playing music through the ear phones. before u say get better headphones, i got senheissers cx400s. the sound quality is rubbish at best. my n95 and n73 both played music better than the htc phone with the same headphones.
I got to agree on the sound quality issue. The music is just too flat on desire.
I am reconsidering galaxy s and iphone4 due to this...
Hopefully someone can port a better music player or fix the issue soon...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Surely its a hardware limitation.
Aside from putting a better dac in the device (probably impossible) what can be done about sound quality? I don't get how a better music player could help.
You can try with DSP Manager... included in some modded rom... like mine...
music is fine on mine (dsp manager + Sennheiser CX 400 II's)
it was rubbish compared to my ipod shuffle using the same headphones, before using dsp manager
I use mixzing player with equalizer with a custom preset for better quality.
What's dsp manager? How to use it?

DSP manager is an equalizer built into the ROM. It can have seperate settings for phone speaker, bluetooth and headphones. I used to to take some of the tinniness out of phone speaker. It's in CM6, and probably a lot of other roms too.

Thru loud speaker, Desire wasn't really that good. But thru headsets with Mixzing, is quite good.
completely agree. speakers on the phone are horrible. i think im gonna invest in a new pair of earphones. hope i dont get any compatibility issues which bug other users
if you want an awesome music app, try PowerAMP... impressive!! it detects when u insert headphones and auto resumes your last tune, even if the app was closed! Also flawless gapless play back!
Also peeps, your samsung supplied headphones have a button on the mic for pausing/answering your calls, but hold the button and it will skip track!! It can also be configured for double/triple presses for next/previous track!!
It works with DSP Manager alongside its own full featured EQ...
The best music app i've come across!
Dickie
Yep, I think most of us who have tried PowerAMP are converts. I got the trial version several months ago, paid for the full app after about 7 minutes (once Master of Puppets had finished playing from memory). Best thing about the EQ is the preamp, which increases output to headphones a reasonable amount.
The has been the music application I've used since it was released and the purchased it once it came on the market.
yeah, you couldn't ask for more from a player really eh!! ive used it for a while now, but thought i'd throw it up as ive not really seen a mention of it but a few people complaining about lack of controls on the mic and incompatabilities with other/older ear phones with track skip etc...
nice solution!
Dickie
best music player there is : ) makes my shure earphones sound sexy. also love the widgets it has! had bought it on galaxy s a while back.
Does this use alot of battery? I just always notice it in the top 3 of my battery usage stats (the default one), even though I don't have it running (does it have some background processes running?)
PowerAMP and DSP manager run in tandem with each other is pure bliss to my ears. My headphones and car really appreciate it also :-D
Poweramp is great and doesnt use any/much battery when running. Added bonus is you can pay with paypal off there website.
Fully agreed, best player on the market!
Just downloaded this, superb!
just tried it and am impressed.
just need a video player which is good. anyone recommend one?

Thx man
i read your post yesterday and downloaded the player
today i bought it because it's the ****ing best music player i ever had on a phone
Agree with what has been said, PowerAMP is brilliant and the only player that recognised all of my album art and the id3 tags on all of my file types.
I got this back in my HTC Desire days. It is hands down the best music player Android has to offer and well worth the purchase. I wouldn't be surprised to see this snapped up and built into Android at some point!
really nice compared to the other music players around even with dsp manager.
Is it worth getting DSP manager if you already have this app?

Yes, Power Amp is absolutely great.
I've got much punchier bass and slightly louder volume in general now that I've installed DSP manager - it's a tiny download too, Rooster - go for it!
i did like PowerAmp, but it did figure high up on my power list. I'm in two minds whether to buy the full version.
I love the stock music player that came with my galaxy s because of it's ability to play music in 5.1 ch.
However, I have now flashed the latest MIUI to my sgs but the music player is not able to play music in 5.1 ch, so I was wondering if anyone of you guys know an app that can do this?
Thanks
5.1ch is just a sound effect. You can get it on any player app with basic tweaks to the equalizer settings.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Ah, I see. Does anyone have any tips on how to achieve this with an eq?
Sent from my Computer using My Keyboard
With 5.1ch people usually mean that instead of stereo (which is 2 channels, left + right) you have 4 additional channels (Center + Back left + Back Right + LFE or Bass (.1))
Your phone only has one speaker so I'm not sure how you want to achieve this.
The audio output is only capable of sending out stereo as well.
A source file with multi-channel audio is usually in *.vob format (DVD video format) but I know of no player that will show this on Android (except for the Archos Gen8 stock video player).
Audio only files would typically be in *.wav or *.ac3 format but same here, I know of no player that will play these multi-channel streams.
Perhaps I misunderstood your question?

im sure you can find a port for the stock galaxy s player in this forum

The stock galaxy s music player was able to simulate 5.1 ch (when headphones were plugged in) which provided a very nice boost in sound quality. What I'm looking for is either a port of that music player to MIUI or another music player that is able to do the same thing (or some eq settings that does it would also be fine).

That option is a load of bull XD.When you listen you only have 2 speakers assuming you are using earplugs which makes 2.0 the highest you can achieve. You shouldn't bother about it... just a stupid tweak that imho makes the sound sound worse...
your comment is a load of bull.. no offence here. But the guy is asking for something dont tell him if its bad or not. He likes it other people like it some dont like it you find it bull. But he doesnt comment you on that does he?

And yes i find the sound nice to. And like other people said there are ways to get this trough EQ settings but so far i havnt got it the same as the stock player one

All I was saying that the option is stupid and it's fake it doesnt provide 5.1ch surround sound and I thought he was thinking that and I was helping his out of his dream (read his 3rd post... this is the case here..). If this is the case my comment is valuable if this isn't well.. he'll just do nothing with the information... It's a win anyway, he has nothing to lose, playing around with a EQ is way better ;/. Install voodoo sound tbh if you want a good musical experience...

The 5.1ch option was not stupid, even though it was fake. It made the sound much clearer and better on all headphones I used.
Will look into voodoo sound, thanks for the tip.
I had 5.1 available when I was using a gingerbread version I got from here. Now I can't seem to find one Pretty sure it was Calkulon or something along those lines. It was way better sound (with headphones) in my opinion, so I'm trying to find a current version that will deliver that "fake" surround

On a side note, I got Jellybean using a vid a watched from QBking77 on youtube, and he references you guys alot.
There are some bugs with Jelly Bean... For instance my mic cuts out when I hold the phone to my face and the screen goes off. Bluetooth headset... NOT A CHANCE lol. On speakerphone i can talk just fine. Headset, works great too. Sometimes I have to pull the battery because the screen dims. But for the most part, it works great.
Hi, I'm looking for a ROM that can play music very well and will also play FLAC files without interruptions or buzzing or any other distortion. I have been using MIUI XJ but I understand development has stopped and recently it seems it doesn't do the job anymore (weird buzzing during playback every now and then). Maybe its not the ROM, i don't know. Tried with 2 sets of headphones and it's the same.
At the moment I am about to install MildWild CM5.
Awaiting suggestions!
Thanks.
Maybe try this one: http://forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=2365
Also which music player are you using?
I recommend RunnyRom...trust me it's the best i've seen, it has beats audio and other stuff,dont really know if there is much of a difference but it sounds better than my pc...
Beats audio on Desire is just equalizer setting.

Well yeah...like i said idk if it is a difference but...it still makes it the best rom for music
The fact that OP prefer FLAC files over mp3, I would assume he listens to his music without any or with little use for equalization.

Well, I will take a look and maybe give it a try. I'm using the default player in MildWild, Play Music v. 4.1. Before that it was just MIUI Music. Tried PowerAmp a while ago, but it really didn't impress me enough to convince me it's worth paying for.

I had (still do) considered RunnyRom as an alternative. I had used a ROM with Beats Audio before and it was awful. Beats Audio did not work, everyone recommended swapping it on the installation for DSP Manager, the latter being present in MildWild as well. Beats is pretty wide spread these days, but it doesn't always function properly. It's just a brand gimmick anyway.

This is correct. I don't ever use equalizers, although there are a few exceptions. With the HTC Desire I think it's mostly the headphones that make a difference. Unfortunately I don't have good ones. Bought Sennheiser CX 280 and the cable noise is like someone is tapping on the damn thing with their fingernails every step I take.
So thank you all for the suggestions. I will be checking them out. I was really hoping for a ROM specialised in music, I guess there isn't one.
I don't know. It sounds distorted, it cracks, it can't handle bass, nothing. My EQ settings aren't crazy either, and this happens in every media player I use.
Right now, I'm running Jedi 3.3, along with these mods:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1873121
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931970 (mid volume)
It sucked in PowerAmp, sucked in Walkman, Sucks in Google Music. Did I do something wrong here? Oh, it even sucks in Neutron, which was the best audio quality I've ever heard coming from a media player.
Without EQ settings, it's "tinny" and flat, there's almost no presence, just so boring.
I just want to get this working. I know we have an awesome Wolfson DAC, I want to push it to it's potential.
I'm using Audio Technica ATH-M50's. I've heard the potential these headphones have with my HTC One XL, for some reason, something is preventing the GN2 from catching up...
Probably a little too late in responding, but have you used a volume mod?
I fixed it, re flashed the rom, then flashed ac!d and the volume mod on top. Sounds like voodoo now haha.
