Hi everyone, I'm new here. The HTC Aria is my first android phone, and I had an iPhone before. I am having problems, the Audio quality is really really bad. It's not my music's fault cuz it's bad for everything. I am the only one having this issue or is every one having this issue. My phone is currently rooted and is running the Liberated 2.2.2 or something like that.
Was this a problem before you rooted and changed the ROM?
Also, you need to be more specific... is the problem with the loudspeaker on the back of the phone, the earpiece (talking on the phone), or when connecting something to the headphone jack?
What software are you using to play music? What headphones / speakers are you using? ( Just curious ).
With my Sennheiser HD 280 pro headphones I've noticed the sound quality isn't as good as my girlfriend's iPod or my creative Zen vision m. It's pretty good, but nothing spectacular. I suppose it's because those are two devices specifically made for playing music, while the aria is, above all else, just a phone. With the aria I usually prefer to use "cheap" skullcandy earbuds so that I can't tell the difference in quality.
Of course, your results may vary from mine.

Thanks for the Response guys! I was using the default Music player. But I am going to try CM7 now because it has the Equalizer function.
Ok guys, it's sorta fixed. I'm using CM7 2.3.4 and a Music app that was ported from MIUI. It's sorta fixed, now so no worries. Thanks for replying fast though guys.

Hi!
This might sounds silly but do you guys know if anyone is working on something like this for android?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Nod69aTzsM
An app that makes your phone to a small guitar amp?
The iphone version has been out for a while but i cant find any info on a version for android..
The company behind iRig have been speaking about a android version but i dont think they even have started working on one yet.
It would be a really nice application! To allways be ready to record without setting up the computor and stuff like that ya know, or to just sit in the sofa with earplugs and play some sweet solos and riffs without having your gf whine about the loud music..
Found this dude trying to make something close. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz-9mxWa2VA
Just checking if anyone knows anything?
Best regards and thx for all the awsomeness!

This would be awesome, I would definitely buy it. It's like a Line 6 pod but much cheaper.
I hope they're working on an android version. Android needs better quality apps.
Also, it's more of a multi-effect pedal than an amp. Just letting you know
I actually sent then a message on youtube to see if they were working on one. This is what I got.
This is the Mac/PC version. If you look at our AmpliTube iRig playlist you'll find the iPhone version. We're currently looking at the platform but do not have any versions for Android.

Yeah, multi-effect pedal.
Imageing all the fine stuff you could do with it!
You could use it as an effect to plug in to your amp. (maby quite alot of effects, if you can make your own sounds. And with new developing you never have to buy a new effect-pedal again.. ).
A strummer for electric guitar in the studio/rehearsal place.
Play with earplugs on the sofa.
and so on...
I'll buy!!
it needs dedicated hardware don't forget (about 10 seconds in on the video)
your phone only has one 3.5mm jack plug...and you need to plug a guitar into it and an amp into it too.
also, what happens if you've got your amp turned up to 11 and then you get a phone call?

I've bookmarked that link
I am amazed that this can be done on the iPhone but not on Android.
There is another program called Ghettoamp on the market, though the devloper admits that there is still latency (he records, then processes the sound input). 20ms I think.

Why can't it be done for android? This app is really cool.

It should be possible...
Android phones definitely have the processing power to do this. The only real problem is you're input and outputs on your phone, there's really only one... the 3.5 mm jack...
But there's maybe a way around this. And I'm not an engineer or developer or genius of any kind I'm just saying what I think should be at least possible... Everyone knows AD2P Bluetooth right? You could get you're input through it.
You use the microphone of a bluetooth headset, but instead of the microphone, you get your input from you're amp/guitar/whatever... could it be as simple as soldering a headphone jack to the PCB connections on a bluetooth headset? Dunno but let's asume it's possible.
Then you connect your phone to the headset, and you've got input... Great.
The problem now is that I don't know what android does when it has a bluetooth headset AND a normal set of earphones... Does it play from both, does it by default choose, I don't know... Say you still get output from the headphones, you could easily get the output to any speakers, seems rather pointless to use the phone's loudspeaker... This part from bluetooth input to audio jack output will maybe need a modified audio driver or something...
Once you've got input into the phone and output out of the phone, you would like to have some effects and/or amplification right? That's the point isn't it? I know nothing about programming such things but maybe a few developers who do will stumble onto this thread and share their expertise...
Once again it should be possible, but for just anyone to do this it'll be very challenging, more likely and hopefully companies like Gibson or Marshall or Ibanez (their Japanese, and this seems like a Japanese thing to do) for instance will see the need for something like this, and get working on it... If they make something like that and it works well, it'll make a LOT of money... For instance after you've bought this device, they could SELL effects, to be downloaded on a sort of 'plugin-basis'. And once one company does it, all will have some variant of the concept. I know I'd buy this...
Edit: Read about the apparent latency issue that Android has... So I don't know if it's that possible just yet, maybe ICS has bettered this flaw in previous Android versions, one can only hope...
Sorry for refreshing this thread, but I'm curious if there is such app for android available right now?

You are thinking much too complicated.
The headphone jack of phones contains another pin for the microphone. A small jumper cable can be used that allows the connection of a guitar and headphones. Check out Amplitube iRig for an example.
(this type of jack is used so you can plug in a headset with microphone)
Bluetooth or something would be nice... but the latency wouldn't be, and that is exactly the problem.. Android has too much latency,
Look:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3434
Android is not capable of this because the way it handles audio is completely wrong. More recent devices have less latency but still too much. The problem lies very deep. It is a problem for game developers too. Please star this issue if you want Google to do something about it!

How about USB OTG connected to a Rocksmith USB connection?...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
The Irig will work fine for this you dont need bluetooth aor usb adding yet another layer of BS to the audio streams round trip. however now that JB is out latancy is stitting around 10-12ms on adevice such as the galaxy nexus wich is completely usable (1ms of latancy = 1foot from your amp) so 12ms would be like playing 12 feet from your amp,
If you cant play like this then on stage will never work for you.
As a side note usb audio is apparently supported in JB as well now
There are now a couple of apps on Android that at least have a range of guitar effects. Delay Effects Plus (via headphone type cable) and usbEffects (USB OTG) both have an option to use Native Audio, so if you have the Galaxy Nexus running JB the latency is quite reasonable (50-70 mSec). If you have a modded ROM you may get lower latency without Native Audio option as they both read the buffer size from the OS. Of course for everyone else the latency is still an issue and varies from device to device. So to those that said they would buy .... please do!
This very issue has put me on the fence on what kind of tablet I buy. Cannot decide between note, and Ipad 3. The accessories and ItunesU has been one of the biggest attractions for me.
Litlle heads up: in their latest newsletter IK Multimedia (of Amplitube) post a few job openings, one of them being "Android App Developer"!
So they are at least working on something..

Do you got new update for futur multi effect on android
I recently bought some skullcandy 50/50 eabuds (free with some store credit) and found out they had an inline mic. Now i realize that they are specifically compatible with the iphone and iOS, but upon plugging them into my Eris (xtrSense 4.6) they are recognized as a headset device. Unfortunately I cannot get them to work as a headset. If i forced myself to switch to a Froyo ROM (I cannot find one I like lol) would there be any difference (better microphone support?) or anyone that has other skullcandy headphones with microphones, do you have any problems? Sorry for the poorly worded question, Im just not sure how to ask this. Thanks, Ryan
Hey, I've seen this question asked here and there but I can't get a straight answer, especially one that specifically applies to my 3VO.
SO--I've a bluetooth headset (Samsung HM1000) and a 3VO. Can I stream music, audio from movie tracks, etc. to my headset? I've heard a lot about A2DP, and since the headset packaging doesn't mention that I'm guessing that's not a feature. Am I SoL? Any apps or root tricks to fix this?
I would definitely have paid more for a legit headset if I'd even considered that this would be a problem (my fault for assuming!).
Thanks in advance!
I stream just fine to my Motorola S9 HD and Motorola S10 HD headsets.

...those are both A2DP so it's unclear to me whether your situation sheds light on mine, as my HM1000 is (I don't believe) A2DP.
no A2DP, no streamy to your headset..
yes, you are sol...
****. Kthanks.
Try an app called bt mono in the market. Might work for you.

They didn't sound good when I had them on, but I chalked that up to the fact that they fit SO horribly and uncomfortably that they just werent sitting in my ears properly. never had that issue with the S9-HD's
Motorola really dropped the ball on those, here is hoping there next upgrade is worth it. as of right now if my s9's die I can still find them without too much trouble at a good price.
not sure how much longer that is going to be an option though.
is there a combo type BT headset that can stream music but also be used to talk when a call comes in???????
oops. I think I didnt research this first.....i guess this one does both....SORRY.

The plantronics backbeat 903 are great for music. The quality is awesome. The call quality is only good when you have a very quiet background because the mic stinks.

I have a rooted Viper 3D and I just bought the motorola S10-hd........how do i sync bluetooth. I press the BT button but nothing happens. Do I have to download anything else from the market????
Quick question about this rom or the 3D. I'm running MeanRom 2.7 and trying to stream pandora or slacker to this bluetooth headset while working around the house. Have full wifi and the bluetooth is studdering while streaming....
I can listen to anything I have on my 3d sd card and no studder but it studders while streaming pandora and slacker.
Anyone know why and if theres any fix?
I'm pretty sure it's not the rom, just something with bluetooth and streaming audio.
I disconnect my bluetooth lg and pandroa and slacker stream perfect. I then can turn bleutooth back on and listen to music and audio on my bluetooth without a problem. It's just when I stream....any clues?
I had the Blue Ant Q2 headset and I was able to able to stream music to it. It also read off my text messages to me.
Can someone please test for me? Get your Bluetooth headset and attempt to stream Pandora or slacker radio to your 3d? On 3g and WiFi please....
There are apps for that.. just search bluetooth in play store if you have a mono bluetooth it will make your music play through it. I've done it before.

I like to listen to music so much. When I bought my SXS with information that the 3.5mm jack changed to CTIA standard, I thought that there would be no extend of compatibility with headphone form other companies. Of course it works with a wide range of headphones but not headset :crying: . Besides enjoying music the SXS need to function as a phone. It's very uncomfortable while I'm listening to music someone calls and I have to unplug my headphone to start answering.
I looked up some topics talk about this matter and could get the conclusion that matter as below:
////quote
The cause of the incompatibility: Sony Xperia S supply 2V (Volts) purely from an energy consumption perspective. The microphone in the boundled Sony Mobile headset is Electret microphones that only require a 2V feed. For other suppliers (e.g. IPhones headsets) they can use MEMS microphones that require a minimum of 2,7V.
In order for fully compatibility, Sony smartphones need to supply a minimum of 2,7V. This requires a feature/HW change
////unquote
All of us want to enjoy music and answer a call. Do we have no choices in stead of using sony accessories, using other brands products without mic or waiting for sony's coming phone?
I'm not a android programers but I simply think that we can adjust voltage supplied to CPU to make SXS runs with 1.67 MHgz so it is possible to adjust voltage supplied to 3.5 jack. Does anybody tell me i'm true? :crying: and is any developer dealing with the issue?
Thank you all
I don't think so. Get a CTIA headset, simple as that.

Of course I use a CTIA one, but the matter is that I cannot use the mic. Sony use different standard of microphone from the others
i tried every! headphone i have on my xperia P and it works just fine. (beats, apple, sony, philips and panasonic)
did you try cm9 (or 10?)?.
sometime it is just rom related, this was also a problem on the xperia play
i solved it with cm9
Thank you nickknoltus. I will try with cm9 as your recommendation. Are you sure that all headsets work well with xperia? I mean mic is usable for receive coming call and answer.
