Well I don't have my archos that long but while using it for video playback a strange problem came up - dunno if it happens for any of u - but the default video player f***s up my sound somehow (same for music player).
The whole sound sounds strange and blurry unless ich change balance completely to one side - then it sounding "hearable" but still not right (btw the balance deosn't change the balance actualy for me)
What i tested for now is:
Uruk 1.0 (sibere v10 kernel) with default Video player: sound crappy
Uruk 1.0 (sibere v10 kernel) with RockPlayer: sound crappy
FW .81 with default Video player: sound crappy
FW .81 with RockPlayer: sound fine
Im not sure its depending on Urukdroid or on the player since it still happens in FW .81 with default player...
Any suggestions?
greetings FrEcP
You are using a Headset from a mobile phone?
It is a known fact that they have a problem.
Use a normal headset and everything should be fine.
You could play around with alsamixer settings. Google for instructions on how to use alsamixer, and then start it up in a terminal emulator, in root mode, on the device. Or, more comfortably, start up an ssh server on the device, and ssh in from a device with a better keyboard and run
Code:
su
alsamixer
There are bunches of audio settings there, and some might help you.
Doesn't work well through adb shell.
can't be affected by headphones as they normaly sound quite good & sound woring normal on stock fw 81 with rockplayer.
Anyway im no on UD1.5B3 but probelem still exists - so i will try the also settings

I've got some Sony Ericsson DS-HBH970 bluetooth headphones which sound pretty good and are great for the convenience of non- cable tanglingness, and control of playback while the phone is in your pocket.
Problem is that I use coreplayer for listening to music on the phone, and when I use the play/pause, or next/previous track control it's doing it on the built in player in Touchflo, and not on coreplayer.
It's incredibly annoying as it means I can't control the player I'm actually using via bluetooth.
Any ideas how to change this?
Many thanks!
Jim
I'm having the same problem.... Does any1 know how to fix that? Thank you
Same issue with Jabra BT3030.
I tried the advanced control plugin features in CorePlayer, for enabling WMP control support .. didn't worked.
Then tried AVRCP Agent (available on XDA, search the forum), which allows you to send command directly to the desired app (WMP, Coreplayer, GsPlayer)... didn't work either. Looks like HTC hardcoded AVRCP support into their player :-(((
I just hope some of the chefs here will comme with a little tweak...
Edit : It works !!! (see below, post #6)
Fingers crossed as this is mega irritating. Frankly I've been astounded at the quality of the audio on my HTC both via sennheisers, and sony ericsson bluetooth cans, but given that I only use coreplayer, and prefer the bluetooth phones for convenience it's a real pita!
Does any WM guru know how to solve that?
Coreplayer working on TOuch HD with BT3030
I tried again tonight, and AVRCP just worked out of the box : play/pause, next, previous fast forwrd (double press)...
It works with Coreplayer in the foreground, or in the background...
I previously used AVRCP agent, but this time it wasn't enabled (maybe it changed some setting somewhere, and it was not meant to be always opened...). I have TFDetached enabled ; I started Coreplayer from the "regular" Today panel, but it still works when switching to TF3D !
If opened Coreplayer before switching on the BT3030 headset (previously paired).
Settings for Coreplayer :
- HTC Windows Media Player Mobile A2DP plugin : on (ticked)
- HTC WMP control plug-in : off (unticked)
Will try to find if that didn't came from another tweaked, but right now I can't think of something else I would have done...
Good luck guys !
Ace! Will try that AVRCP thingy tonight and see if I can get mine to work.
Thanks
Eyaeeya would you be kind and explain to me step by step how did u do that ? Can you post here the version of AVRCP that you use ? NOOB HERE Thank you in advance!
This must sound really dumb but how do I run AVRCP?I got the zip and ran the exe file from it to install it but nothing seems tohave happened.
Sorry for being dense!
Well, I've had AVRCP running for a bit now but I just cannot get it to control Coreplayer by bluetooth instead of the headphones controlling the TF3 player instead.
There must be LOADS of people facing this problem since Coreplayer is near enough a staple application on winmo phones.
What am I doing wrong?
Still no-one?! Surprised by this.
Does no-one use bluetooth + coreplayer besides me and eyaeya?
I'm looking for the same fix too!
has anyone tried to go into coreplayer options(or tools)??? --- I saw somekinda option in plugins "windows media player control" or something like that, see if that helps!!!!

for me it works not....
i follow the settings above, but still WMP would be launched be pressing a button on my BT Headset
any solution?
this works!

works 100% with Coreplayer
Cheers mate - installed that and rebooted etc but it's still not working with Coreplayer.
It's stopping WMP from using the control but it's just not doing anything with coreplayer.
I've posted on that thread anyway.
Thanks for the link
I've finally given up on CorePlayer. The latest version of Pocket Player 4.1 solves all of my Verizon HTC Touch Pro + Bluetooth problems.
Thanks to Pocket Player 4.1, I now have:
1. Full control of all of the buttons on my Motorola HT820.
2. Lossless flac and ape support.
3. A boost in volume. I set the default equalizer with the pre-amp at its maximum. With a press of a button on the headset, I can boost volume so that it is suitable for freeway speeds.
4. A persistent current playlist.
Goodbye CorePlayer. Don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you.
did anyone ever make progress on this? I need coreplayer for the .mp4 video functionality. I cant find any other player that play is (TCPMP is to laggy).
Hi, so my TG01 has really poor sound quality. I mean I have W960i and there music has nice and deep bass and it's nice and loud, and here the bass is like on poor quality video on youtube.. also when I make it lauder it does a lot of clicking on the background.. I tried few player and MortPlayer gives me best sound quality, but summing it, it's still poor If a comapre it to Sonny E.
Maybe it's sound drivers or somethin ? IM TALKING ABOUT SOUND IN HEADPHONES. I'M USING WM 6.5 FFBOYS 1.0.

Yes, sound quality has never been strong side of TG01 but maybe You should consider to utilize WOWHD. It works like some kind of DSP so You should
see any difference.

ok got it, but now gettin a message sain @There is no WOW HD driver loaded. The control panel will now [email protected] how should I fix this ? I duno how to edit the registry btw thx
1. go to your "windows", search the file with "wavedev" as part of name.
2. copy the whole name.
3. go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev] and set the "OldDriver" to STEP 2.
4. reboot.
Firstly I can not find this file, secondly I duno whats hkay_local... and how to access it please explain it to me

The file is probably hidden; you need a File Explorer which is able to 'see' hidden / system files (the native windows explorer in Windows Mobile only shows you ones which do not have the -h (hide) attribute set).
The reference to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (often written in short as HKLM) is a 'Hive Key' in the Registry. This works just like the Registry on a desktop PC and contains all the variable settings for the system and all the applications you have installed. To access this and edit its contents you need a Registry Editor.
One option which does all in one package is the Resco File Explorer (Payware); alternatively you can search on XDA and there are various alternative offerings available with differing capabilities.
Hope that helps clarify....
Back to the original issue behind this, though and I would observe that actually the sound quality out of the TG01 is in fact very good - but you will only hear that with a high bitrate audio source and a decent set of earphones on the end to do it justice, or alternatively by output to a high quality external amplifier via quality screened cable and connectors. The stock earbuds (or similar) will never give you good quality sound. Addition of SRS or equivalent software will only modify the perceived sound, but can never overcome the limitations of such hardware. I've included the spec for my audio setup in my sig below - I'm using .wav encoded audio so it is 1:1 CD quality with no compression whatsoever - as soon as you start using compression (MP3 or similar) the audio quality will be degraded.
well ur answer does not help me. I do use resco explorer.
And how can u say quality is good ? ;d there is a lot of cliping etc quality is so poor that my casete player would give me better output. well I do have good quality headphones pionier make that reatail over pounds. my MP3 files sound awesome on my PC or Sony E. and TG01 just can not handle this level. That's why I'm loooking for anyway to fix this issue and I need this WOWHD as it might help. anyway I got it working but it gives my no audio output 0.- help.
Tried an active set of headphones or a portal headphone amp?
I did not tried amp, but I will no spend any more money for this, jsut want to manage WOWHD to work. I has it working and after editing registry entries my phone does not swich music to headphones, and when answering the phone it can only use speaker, and the micro does not work ;/ too bad help.
Well I just happened to have my headphone cable on me today at work. I have a set of noise cancelling headphones here at work and I don't seem to have a problem with 'clicking' except perhaps between songs when it actually changes track. Whilst not being loud, it sounds ok to me.
Are you using the original headphones that came with the TG01? They suck. Change them for something else and see if that improves things.
Also.. I wonder if the 'radio' version has anything to do with it?
As I said before HEADPHONES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. I USE PIONIEER HDJ1000 AND I WOULD SAY THEY ARE REALLY GOOD. I tried others as well and the best sound i get on pionieer. but it's still not good at all. Bass sounds like a cheap imitation of bass. and as someone said I could cry WOWHD as it worked for few people giving a bit better sound, so jsut want to try it, but can not get it to work, got this frustrating error @ no WOW HD driver loaded .. And i have no idea if radio version has anything to do with it, I hope you guys tell me that Thanks
You could always try another ROM that already includes WOWHD in it? (Look for the MiROM 8 + UPX compression ROM )
I know that's a bit extreme to do, but you have already flashed your phone with FFBoys.. so it shouldn't be that much of an issue. (use PIM Backup to record your contacts first!)
It could just be that the SE phone has better dedicated hardware as many of them seem to be made with music in mind.
Ok downloading new ROM. I have tried many ROM with no change on audio quality I hate Sense but just wanna try this WOWHD software and see if it's worth using, then I'll go back to old FFboy's ROM, and yes I also think that Sonny E. has better hardware as it's Walkman phone, and that's always been known as good thing.

... TG01 with 9,9 mm was for a long time the thinnest smartphone.
....thinnest smartphone= thinnest loudspeaker= poor sound
... but i love it ...
Allegedly Phantasm X3 is the music player that gives the best sound quality on windows mobile, but good luck obtaining a copy even legitmately.
As mentioned, have it might be worth while trying a different 'radio' with the rom, as if it can effect call quality, maybe it can affect sound quality as well. Which country are you in?
I'm from England and I don't really think that where I leave has anything to do with, the quality of sound. The hardware isn't too good it does not support 320 sample rate
But guys I do have sound that can be accepted, it's still not good, but there is not clicking ans stuff. I have installed miRom8 with WOWHD already intergrated.
I will stay with it, because it runs quite smoothly and many functions that are useful. AND MOST IMPORTANT SOUND IS BIT BETTER.
thanks for help
I've tested a lot of Roms and I have a couple of TG01 : Sound quality it's always the same. It's hardware related, not software.
Said this, sound quality it's average. Using device speakers is quite poor (perhaps due to the thickness, as said before) but with headphones it's not bad, even good in my opinion
And if you use a pair of good headphones and SRS HD switched ON, sound it's superb
Instead, nobody says nothing about voice record quality. Its awful, the worst record device I've never heard . Do you agree?
Hi I am new to this forum. I used Touch and Kaiser in the past.
Have been using TG01 for a few weeks and love it.
I am trying to use it as a music player via stereo bluetooth headset, using coreplayer and in mp3 or wma format. The quality of sound is awful. Then I change the music format as flac which is a lossless format and improves the quality a bit. But the human voice is like a digital nature, worse of all, still not much bass. SRS HD helps a bit on the voice, but not the bass (I have to admit my headset is not a very decent one)
Two questions:
1. I understand a quality headset will definitely improve the bass quality, does the bluetooth transmission limit the bitrate or sound frequency?
2. Any recommendation on the tweak, media player or setup?

Try a different music player, S2P is good, and you can use the music player while the screen is locked.
As i said earlier Phantasm is the best audio player available for winmo, but i have never used it.
I don't think SRS WoW HD will really help too much to be honest.
Hey together. I'm a noob *duck* - but I did quite some search on google and on these forums before posting, and I'm not a very stupid noob.
Today I got the situation that no audio is audible any longer from my browser, games, audio apps, or from an audio player (all of them previously worked). This is the case for headphone and also the built in speaker. The problem occurred very likely after using skype. I also still have audio in phone calls and also I still have sound for ringtones and other alarms. Handset functioms all still work fine.
The first obvious thing I did was checking volume settings in the android settings. There I moved all sliders - the one responsible for regular audio did not give me any feedback. If I use the volume buttons on the phone while I'm on my home screen I get audible feedback - but that doesn't influence my problem.
Funnily the sound in skype still works. More funnily: during skype calls the audio from my browser or the audio player is also audible (I tried this just out of couriousity as I suspected Skype to be the cause of my problem. Et voila - I got sound from a TV News page and also from the Walkman app while the call on skype was still running. As soon as the call in Skype ended the audio from browser and adio player got muted again.
I also tried to kill skype during a call in order to kill it before it can again mute the audio - No luck. as soon as the skype app is killed also the audio from audio player and Browser vanishes.
I also tried some audio apps - all have the same issue of having no sound.
I then tried different apps which control volumes - without any luck. So at the moment I don't have audio, except during skype calls.
I guess that skype has either access to some hardware settings which aren't used usually (I hated skype for things like this as long as it had existed) - or I'm missing something very obvious. Or something else. Does anybody of the developers here know about linux settings I could modify? (is there something like alsamixer which is only possible to access via jni or similar?)
// Edit:
Just found out that toggling airplane mode ON I have sound for media (audio player, browser). (but also lose the ability to use my cellphone and network). As soon as I switch back to airplainmode OFF also audio is muted again. And for sure - I also tried rebooting in different states of my phone quite often without any difference.
// Edit 2:
looks like I found a workaround but no permanent solution - I installed an app SoundAbout (free app) recommended for similar problems in an other thread: 89996-galaxy-s3-media-volume-stuck-mute.html (I have now put output permanently to "headphones" for media sounds. However as soon as this setting is reset to the default (let app decide) it is muted again when airplane mod is set to off - looks like an other app resets it? (could not find any app obviously doing this though as I stopped the usual suspects)
I still suspect Skype as the original reason for this problem as I just recently had it updated when the problem appeard and it also messes with this kind of stuff during usage (and I don't really use other apps dealing with audio except of browser, music player which weren't updated for a long time).
Maybe also of concern:
It's an sony xperia p, running Android 4.0.3 and it is currently rooted.
While messing around I found a fix for hdmi and sound, this is not permanent.
First things first
Micro Hdmi to hdmi required, also 3.5mm aux cable(for use with tv, sound system, ect) or headphones
Instructions,
1: install mx player
Then install ist add on ARMV 7 NEON CODEC ONLY!
THE PURPOSE OF MXPLAYER IS TO FIX SCREEN SHIFT UNTIL NEXT REBOOT OR UNTIL YOU TRY TESTING EVERY OPENGL APP OUT THERE AND MAKE TABLET REBOOT, I DID, if so just start mxplayer again, skip all other steps
2 install Sound about, sittings should be as so,
Wired headset detecion (check)
Wired headset microphone (leave unchecked)
Notification to speaker (check)
Media audio
[Let app decide]
ALL AUDIO WORKS THE 3.5MM JACK, JUST PLAY WITH SOUNDABOUT SETTINGS, IF YOU WISH TO WATCH VIDEOS IN MXPLAYER(ONLY PLAYER IN WHICH AUDIO WILL WORK) TURN VOLUME SLIDER WHITHIN APP TO 0 THEN TURN VOLUME BACK UP AS DESIRED.
Ok after above steps open mx player, play any video and switch decoder to S/W
Let video play about 5sec then tap sceen, player menus should show along with jb menu bar, just hit home and this fixes screen shift, I say again, its temporary, until you break it, real racing 3 is safe to play
Last step is audio (music only) plug. Aux/headphones into jack, music should auto start, if not, unplug, plug until it opens poweramp notification and music starts.
And your all set for my half a$$ hdmi experience
Thanx to the devs for these wounderful apps, all can be found in playstore, this is not a mod nor am I taking any credit, I'm just using tools developers made to make our lives easier the way they intended
This is my first thread in developers section, sorry if I'm unclear and misdirectional, if my post sucks just let me now, so I can improve
Ok, so I wnet to bed last night with mxplayer playing videos all night on loop, I forgot my mediapad was plugged into hdmi and I accendentally yanked it out, well idk what caused this but my hdmi is perma fixed… I rebooted, plugged and unplugged… no glitches at all, I have no eexplanation for this cause I have no idea how this happened lol, ill post a video for you guys.

Hi everybody,
I have problems with Bluetooth since the installation of the last CM11 (android 4.4.2) on my galaxy SIII, I have search everywhere but never find any working solution.
I explain, all the time i listen to music with my headphone Sennheiser MM550-X. it's working fine when there is no object between my Galaxy SIII and my headphone. BUT as soon as i put it in my pocket the music begin to lag, the same when i put the phone under my hand for example.
It was working perfect before with the original rom from Samsung.
i have already tried to
- Change the music app (now i use Poweramp pro)
- Change the size of the music buffer and the priority of the music in Poweramp
- Change the CPU strategy to Performance (works fine with the small lag problem when the phone is in sleep mode, but no effect with the bluetooth)
- Change the headphone with another from my wife , exactly the same problem
Does anybody have any solution ? is it possible to modify the settings of the cyanogenmod bluetooth ? change the blutooth apk ? or to amplify the bluetooth signal ?
Thx
