[Q] SRS 5.1 Virtual Surround - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to use SRS 5.1 Virtual Surround effect on other apps besides embedded music and video player? I would love to use spotify with 5.1. In theory is it possible that someone created an app that would force SRS to run constantly?

There was a modder at my old Symbian community, HyperX, he made a mode for the Samsung Omnia HD (aka i8910) and he actually forced that feature to work no matter where.
So imo it is possible but I guess there was no demand for it so no modder made one ?

improve O1's audio quality

How can i improve audio playback on o1..Add DSP effects and all on froyo itself m not waiting for a gingerbread port...tried the DSP manager doesnt work and plz plz find a way around for this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885535
i tried installing and also replacing stock app with root explorer ..neither works...plz i want to turn O1 into a sound machine..
Also Is there a s/w decoding based music player that offer awesome audio along with DSP effects like reverb etc...600MHz is powerful enough to produce good quality audio i believe..
EDIT: http://www.bel.fi/~alankila/android-dsp/
installing according to instructions at http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-dsp-equalizer-on-your-rooted-android-phone-with-froyo-stock-rom/ only leaves o1 audio-less i.e. replacing stock libaudioflinger.so ..messes up the audio
ALso i m not running stock ROM..However its noejn's mod of the stock rom ,Megatron... HElp i m an audiophile
I am also looking forward to more options, improvements and advancements in this area. A working dsp like application will be awesome. One can use equalizers in video also. Btw, does anybody know of an app that allows audio equalizers in videos?
i just found a player with EQ for audio files
in market: AudioPlayer WithEQ

But since the natural frequency response is not as good (not close to ideal as iphone or nokia 5800xm), how much would these apps help ?

Actually PowerAMps Eq is quite effective actually...n it reduces crosstalk too... poweramp's stereo sucks (isnt wide enough for my tastes)....
is anybody using gingerbread's music player on froyo??? Does it bring any changes
i use PowerAMP and i think its pretty cool. The EQ was great !

Srs Enhancement within app

Hello everybody,
I was wondering it it would be possible to incorporate SRS Enhancement within a media player app. I have a zipped package with 20 different equalizers including Dolby digital and SRS. I am developing the app to be put on the play store.
Any thoughts?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Id like to know a config i can use on DSP Equalizer to simulate Beats Audio or SRS....theyre so nice =D
Can anyone else weigh in? Perhaps an experienced developer?
if you are on ICS you could try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1618250
it's not that good like on my HTC Sense Roms but all in all not bad
Can this be implemented into Apps through the market?

[Q] Music Players

Guys, as we all know, the specs of our phones kind of limit the choices that we have when it comes to applications due to performance issues etc. I'd like to ask for recommendations for Music Players that run good on our devices apart from SONY WALKMAN. As of now, I'm using gonemad Music player and it works well TBH. The number one thing I like about that app is the equalizer that lets you increase music loudness beyond the stock android limitation (you know, when using Viper V4A you can increase output levels but it'll gobble down if its too much etc).
Okay, back to my main question:
Can Y'all recommend me some music apps that work nice with our phones? Thank you
(running CM10.1 on Xperia Mini Pro SK17i)

^^^ This one is called cubed I used to use it on my Xperia Play.
Works really well, has an equalizer.

Sound enhancements restricted in lollipop

According to xperia z3 users in xperia mobile forums, lollipop update has limited sound enhancements to movie player + walkman app and a few more playstore apps.
This is because the sound enhancement is no longer system-wide compared to kitkat.The 3rd party app developer has to include code to support sound enhancements otherwise you don't use it with third party apps.
Can any lollipop user open subway surfers, then listen to it's song for a bit and turn clearaudio+ off, return to game and see if there's any difference? I want to confirm if it's the same for us Z2 users.
I have done that in subway surfers using kitkat and it did make a difference in sound.
Bumping thread, I just need someone who's using lollipop to confirm if clearaudio+ or loudness equalazation works in subway surfers. :fingers-crossed:
This is important for me as it confirms that lollipop still enhances 3rd party apps' sounds.
Thanks in advance
I don't particularly have the game, so I can't help with confirming your query.
But I have tried it for the youtube app and found that the sound enhancement does not work. I also tried toggling clearaudio+ on and off and adjusting the equalizer while soundcloud was playing a song in the background and nothing was happening. From this I think that there is no sound enhancement present in 3rd party apps. It was not like this before when I still had kitkat.
Sorry if this doesn't help.
@Arunumeric
I requested info on that particular game because some users said enhancements didn't work for youtube in KK anyway and well it's a commonly played game :silly:
It seems like that was a false information.Enhancements work for me on youtube (on kitkat now) and appereantly it doesn't work on lollipop.
Thank you for confirming
Guess I won't be updating to lollipop until sony changes their mind on this or something worthy comes out (better camera software perhaps)
P.S. to keep yourself updated on this topic read what support team says. : https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...blem-after-lollipop-update/td-p/955035/page/5

Here are more informations about this issue:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22726
As the sony support stated this is not removed by sony its removed by android. You can call it stupid and it is indeed, but it won't change this in lollipop. There is also no plan to change this in any next releases of android.
So here is the intent every application have to implement to use a system wide equalizer:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/audiofx/AudioEffect.html#ACTION_OPEN_AUDIO_EFFECT_CONTROL_SESSION
you see its not a mess for a developer of a media player to use the system equalizer. This feature was available since Android 2.3 Gingerbread, enough time for everyone.

What music player app are you using?

I have been a longtime user and fan of PowerAmp. It has been the best music player (IMO of course) up to this point. Well it seems
as there is only one developer that manages and writes PowerAmp. This has resulted in loss of functionality to certain degrees, and form
with using PowerAmp on any Android version 5x and higher. Apparently the developer has bitten off more than he could chew in a reasonable
fashion, leading to no updates from a V3 Alpha form in over a year. So all there is in stable form is V2 that works on Kitkat and below versions.
Using V2 on a newer Android version 5x+ results in losses of quite a few functions, but still usable in ways. This leads me to my question...
What are you using for a non streaming music app? I am looking for superb sound feedback, Edge screen functionality, and adjustable parameters
to tune sound feedback such as Hi-Res to take advantage of onboard DAC functions. All feedback is appreciated, as I look forward to your responses.
Thanks much!
I'm still using PowerAmp
PowerAmp is still my app of choice. The alpha can work directly with the HD capabilities of the Snapdragon 835.

PowerAmp. It does what I want and then some.
Hell yeah, poweramp since release here. I'm wondering why I lost the hi-res output option though coming from the N4 to the N8 though? And I used the same apk.
I've been using Media Monkey for years now. Tried and bought them all for android and always go back to Media Monkey.
PowerAmp - Nothing better
+1 PowerAmp
GoneMad Music Player
I used PowerAMP for many years, but switched to Stellio. It's a much better player in my opinion, lots of customization and the UI is so beautiful.
I've been using Rocket Player. My use case is probably different those others, though. I'm a long time iTunes user and have Apple Lossless music. Rocket Player can play those.
Blackplayer EX forever

Neutron.
Lots of actually usable setting options... like MX Player but for audio. The claim to be for "audiophiles" brought me to it.

BlackPlayer EX is the most slept on app..... #GOAT
I am using both poweramp and the Samsung player from the app store. I like the way the samsung player integrates with the phone perfectly. It is strange that it is not pre loaded with the phone but I guess Google is trying to push theirs.

Wonder why hi-res isn't available, but was on the note 4?
Was a long time PowerAmp user but for some reason, which I can't recall at the moment, I was encountering an issue which lead me to try JetAudio.
A year later and JetAudio is my player of choice. I still use PowerAmp on my Shield Tablet but for everyday use, JetAudio never fails to impress.
Only caveat is that all of its sound plugins, excluding the default one, require you to purchase a license but you can try them before you buy.
What is the name of that music player
