Has anyone tried this yet? Does it improve the sound quality significantly?
Saw it, haven't tested it myself as I really don't care about audio quality! 192kbs mp3 format is good enough for my ears, lol!
I try it and it works pretty good... it sounds pretty good
I have this on my atrix its ok!

this works
this works at my device w/out any problems
Tried it: fantastic sound!!!
Sweet thanks guys!
Seems the guy removed his thread, anyone still got the .zip and can put it up somewhere? cheers.
edit: other dev has it up on the forum it seems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525226
Hello, I have a weird problem that recently developed, and this is the only thing I can think of that could cause it. Many formats previously compatible now give me a "format not supported" when attwmping to play them in the stock media players. Some examples are mkv, avi, and even some wav! Has anyone else experienced this after appying this mod, or is it something else I've done?
UPDATE: YES! I uninstalled the beats mod, and confirm (for me anyway) that this does make some audio/video files incompatible with the stock players.
O I thought that had something to do with the files. I just switched to MX video player to solve the problem.
Another problem: this mod makes hardware video playback impossible even with the build.prop tweak to enable it.

I have install the lastest version tonight and I loaded a few videos and none are playing anyone having this issue??? I tried the standard Videos Program and also doubletwist and mVideoplayer? Any suggestions???
All Gingerbread based ROMs are going to have some issues with video playback because there are no hardware drivers for the Tegra 2 chipset that the GTablet is based off (Harmony dev board).
So you will get software decoding only, hardware accelerations isn't going to be there.
All my videos work but when im in the web browser using flash 10.2 fixed it plays the video in slight fast forward no sound on hulu
If you haven't already done so you need to post your issue in the ROM's thread so GoJimi will be aware of the issue if he doesn't already know about it.

i would but i can't post in the developers section
Aside from the hardware acceleration issue, have you tried Rock Player, or Vplayer, I've had much success with those two.
I have actually had a random audio issue since day one so I'm RMA's mine and I flashed it back to stock now got super irritated last night with the Audio issue and then not being able to play any videos that were playing in Vegan 5.1.1! Wanted to love the tablet but I seem to be at my wits end with it! We'll see what happens!
The only videos I can get working are MP4 videos that were converterd for my Iphone.
I tried xvid,wmv,mkv, and avi. None of these will play on any of my video players(Act 1,mVideo,RockPlayer,VitalPlayer). This is the first android tablet I ever modded(VegAn-Ginger edition). Maybe I'm missing something.
Until full hardware acceleration exists, your best best is a Froyo mod like VEGAN-Tab or Brilliant Corners.
However, even those mods may disappoint you. Remember, it's not container support thats the problem (AVI / MKV / MP4 are containers), it's audio / video codec support. People confuse the two, but it's why some MKV's play and other don't, or why some have audio and some don't.
Honeycomb is even worse - my Xoom couldn't even play back WMV's that my GTAB could. But in Android's defense, it's not like the iPad is a heck of a lot better - it's OOTB support is pitiful. Granted, there are a lot of third party players, but some of them aren't free.
If you watch videos encoded in high quality resolutions above 854x480, H.264 or MPEG4 and a pretty high bitrate, you might notice that video playback is laggy and not fluid with custom ROMs. This flashable zip package is supposed to fix that.
Tested
Stable - Any ROM based on stock 2.3.3 (Wolfs TW Gingerbread, Blue Sparks, Ultima GB etc.)
Stable - Most xRecovery-based CM7 ROMs (ZMOD, SpaarcMOD, FreeXperia Sony UI Achotjan etc.)
Stuck on boot - MIUI ROMs
Untested
FXP CM7 (won't work anyways since it uses CWM)

EDIT: I've uploaded a test video to check whether video decoder lag is present or not.
http://puu.sh/5j8h/SmoothnessTest.mp4 (854x480, H.264, 5 mbit/s)
If it stutters during playback, that's an indication that the video is lagging.
This fix will not eliminate the problem but will reduce the lag by a huge margin.
I noticed this while watching videos with camera panning, they looked very juddery.
Anyone tried this? Just wondering what the original problem was.

So, this should enable me (us) to play 720p Youtube vids?
never notist a problem and if there whas a problem, Z would have notist and came with the solution.
I think i would not flash this before making a back up.

Why do you feel like discouraging people who try to offer something to the community?
On the one hand, there are tons of threads in General section
whining about people moving on from the X10 and development stalling,
and then there are post like yours... It's just not right.
Anyway, @OP, I played the test video and noticed no lags.
Could you explain what is it that you changed in the .so libraries please?
And why some people have the issue and others don't?
Thank you very much!
Okay. Downloaded the files. Tested the video. It does stutter a little.
Tested with scary gov. Running video twice... 22sec at 128mhz. And none over 500mhz! So its not decoding over cpu
P.s. Yes, also did with performance. Same problem.
Now gonna make backup. And then flash file.
Noticed the lag myself. So maybe it's missing a video codec, so it's not using hardware rendering.
I'll flash the fix and see if it works.

It depends.
On modded stock ROMs, if the dev included z's audio lag fix, this problem will surface.
On custom ROMs (CM7 for example), the issue is already there.
This zip simply replaces the libs with those from stock ROM.
PS: It was one of the reasons why I didn't use Froyo custom ROMs.

So, it will give us back the audio lag while listening to music then?

You could have also said this in first Post, right?
flashed it and saw no big difference. I'm on WB4.0.4
Maybe he already included it.
P.s. Your test video is not realy high res ^^ does 1080p work on our phone? Depens on bitrate i guess.

Technically, yes. Personally, I rarely get any audio lags while listening to music except when there's CPU heavy stuff going on like installing a large app from the Market.

It may be because I'm running a custom kernel. Barely any audio lag.
Is it possible to play the pps.tv with h.264?

Not really. We play HQ YT vids aka 480p
Try DL-ing a 720p or even a 1080p vid and play it... see what happens. Not to mention HD divx/xvid content
P.S. regarding audio lag. I still experience it while underclocking to 128MHz. It's doesn't happen while the sleep FQ is at 245, though
First let me say this rom is worth a look if you are curious about ICS!
Flac audio files will not play properly for me. They either refuse to play or play very very slowly.
Is anyone else having success or problems with Flac and this rom?
I have been running this excellent ICS rom for about 2 weeks now.
I was previously running Team Whiskey's super smooth NextGen V2 with Overstock Kernel. Flac files played perfectly on a variety of players.
They did say choppy video playback in the bugs..
Good luck getting it to work

I currently have a vibarant and i just tried to install the ics rom. I did every step they mentioned at first i had the experienced a boot loop so i removed the battery and wiped the handset again. But now my handset wont boot up or I cant get into the recovery menu. Any suggestions
Thanks Robert
That's called high jacking a thread.. you'd have better luck asking your question in the QandA forum, but read the noob guide first.

But just cause I'm feeling kind.....
If you follow the steps, your prob on gb boot loaders which means that to get to recovery, you gotta hold volume down and power.. not volume up at all.

Quoted from flac.sourceforge.net
"FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, an audio format similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality. This is similar to how Zip works, except with FLAC you will get much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio, and you can play back compressed FLAC files in your favorite player (or your car or home stereo, see supported devices) just like you would an MP3 file."
I do listen to music with earbuds but also have a fairly nice stereo that I sometimes like to hook my phone up to, so I use flac when I can. My system deserves better than mp3's can provide to it.
It of course sounds best with DVD-Audio or SACD, but pretty convenient sitting in my easy chair with my phone and dialing up my favs.
Passion v11 no flac
Unfortunately ICS Passion v11 is out and same results when I attempt to play back FLAC files.
I thought ICS was to have native support for FLAC. Tried Google Music and it does not even see the files.
For those who care.
.flac files now play correctly with cm9 nightly builds 03-31 up to the current one I am running now (04-15 nightly)
Recently started using my Note for more than a e-reader and went a head a put some music on it.
Because I love music I downloaded JetAudio Pro so I'd have access to a equalizer, better playlist support, etc. However, upon installing it I've noticed that when playing music I get a "clicking" noise in all my music...I've tried different ROM's and even different versions of Jet to no avail.
Also, on every ROM I've tried the official "Music" app either crashes, freezes, or won't play my music at all.
Just a bunch of problems I can't seem to find answers or fixes for. If anyone has advice I'd appreciate it!
OK...better question yet...does anyone USE JetAudio? And if so do you have issues with it? Happens with both the free version (that you can download and test yourself for me ) and the paid version as well.
I don't know if its a software issue or a hardware one either as the default Android Music app fails to work as well...
Sup, i use jetaudio pro, and i notice that clicking sound too, but when i use another player there is no sound problem! Maybe a bug in jetaudio, who knows.... oh! I'm rooted with stock ics on rogers.

Hmmm...if it is a software issue they need to get it fixed! Been long enough now to smooth this kind of stuff out in my opinion.
Well good to know I'm not the only one with issues.

jetAudio bug
Hi! I have this problem too. The situation is the following:
1. jetAudio is working fine on the original ROM. Everything is working fine. (Sense, HTC One V).
2. I installed CyanogenMod 10 to my phone. JetAudio playing a lot of songs with the "clicking" sounds. The Apollo player plays my music without problems. Winamp makes the "clicking" sounds too with the same songs, so I think this is an incompatibility issue (kernel or rom?).
Have anyone found solution to this problem? I am using Xperia arc with CM11 and i have same problem.After some minutes of smooth music i get clicking sound.It's very random.I have to FC it from apps setting and start it again to listen music properly.I am using jet audio pro as well.
Hey guys! I apologize for such a Long post i tried to make it short but i just couldn't.
So first time posting here, i believe this is the right place for this but in case it's not then i apologize in advance. I have been having a very weird issue with audio whenever i use my headphones with phone. through the headphone jack. On alot of the main apps such as Chrome, official youtube app, Netflix, MX Player, The Native video player, the Audio is so bad it pierces my ear. The pitch is so high and it also feels like it's playing in some large hall. it's really hurting my ears. I've used several headphones/earphones with my device and it's the same issue with al of them. Interestingly when i use vanced youtube(mod of youtube) and other browsers like brave, the audio is perfectly normal. similarly when i use some other player instead of MX the audio is normal i've switched to brave and vanced youtube but MX Player is my lifeline and i really can't switch to anything else( I tried). similarly i can't switch from netflix. there must be some actual root solution to this instead of just finding alternatives right? I've already tried doing factory resets, updating device. reflashing firmware. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thank You!
Change the equalizer settings
It could be due to the settings you set in the real sound technology under the sound and vibration.
OMG thank you so much

TURNING OFF REAL SENSAROUND FIXED IT!! I was thinking about switching to buggy custom ROM or getting rid of the phone alltogether just because of this issue. Thanks alot man you saved me from so much trouble! really appreciate it!
