I'm on pkmn right now and finding the audio output lacking compared to BAMF ICS. Might switch back..

Maybe ill give that a spin. I use poweramp and its usually great, but for some reason I can't match the sound quality with this ROM.

I hadn't heard that... sorry if thats a known issue I'm not aware of yet. I personally haven't used that kernel, but I know its the only one that processes audio through the Rezounds audio hardware rather than through software as it does by default.

Biggest load of crap I've ever heard. Obviously didn't read the original post where he said the intellianthraX governor was causing bootloops and to use ondemand instead.
Don't listen to him anthrax is amazing and really helps your battery too. I get close to four hours screen time

Agreed. I had to reboot a couple times a day running that kernel (no matter what governor setting I used), with inkredikernel it runs weeks at a time without a reboot.
Well it runs fine on my phone and the add beats drivers are nice.
Note:just thought about it and I've never had a reboot with any kernel including incredikernel.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
I've used the Anthrax Kernel with a few different Roms and it would cause Random Freeze ups (battery pull needed) and boot loops. The Max cpu setting is not reliable and it will ramp way up and cause boot loops or freezing.
I dont wanna go back to GB guys. Im finding the sound quality much greater and consistant volumes with Ineffabillis deus ICS compared to all other ICS ROMS i tried. I dont know the technical part of why this would be, but i am very picky about my music and it is much better.

So just a thought since I use poweramp as well. I noticed today while on pkmn 3.2.0 that audio sounded terrible. I was messing around with power amp and noticed that the beats option was gone. I wonder what Joel did different with the audio? I definitely find it to be a downgrade.

Installed viperrom rc5 -2 two days ago. I noticed it no longer had beats audio. I flashed the new beats audio 2.17 and it does nothing . No beats symbol when i plug in headphones. Under apps I see HTC beats notifier. But it doesn't seem to be turning on. I followed the directions and cleared data for music and music enhancements. Is there anybody that can help ?
job well done
---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------
you're the man
As far as I know viperrom was never designed with beats. If a ROM doesn't have the probed coding written into it for beats then it isn't going to work. If you want you want beats audio I suggest flashing a.ROM with beats already in it like infectedrom.
I had viperrom 2.1 redline before this and it had beats Audio. Anyway i'm tired of flashing today. If i can't figure this out i guess ill just live with it. What is Job Well Done Anyway ??? did I do something wrong.

how long has it been since that has been updated? not being a smartass at all, i am just curious.
it would be a good idea for you to just flash a ROM with beats. there is a lot that goes into beats audio at the ROM level, let alone what goes on inside the kernel... audio drivers, codecs, libs... **** man, you just can't flash something like that and expect it to work with some random ROM you flashed, doesn't work that way 80% of the time.
back to square one for you if you want beats.
and i would suggest eternity RLS245 as of last night.

I agree with Cobraboy. The issue is that the kernel you use also has to support Beats. So, since ViperROM uses stock kernel, you would also need something like the Anthrax kernel as well.
I don't personally see why Beats is so great. Every time I try to use Beats, my headphones give a hiss sound that cancels all the benefits of Beats. With a little tuning of DSP Manager that comes with ViperROM, you can get a Beats like experience without the hiss or the hassle of switching kernels.
Just wondering which version of ZR3D you guys use.

I hate to rain on the parade and say neither since I love the beauty of this ROM, but the hiss caused by Beats is still in this ROM. It is something that I personally cannot stand, but once that is fixed, I'll probably try 2.4.

I know, but the hiss remains with it off, even on non-Beats apps like Pandora. It has something to do with the default gains being set too high (according to MikeyXDA of MeanROM). Over the last week or so, some of the ROMs have fixed it and I look forward to it being fixed in this one too as I think this ROM is spectacular except for that.

Interesting. Even with quiet music, you still do not hear the hiss? With my phone, when I hit pause, the hiss remains for about two seconds until the phone stops powering the headphones. During a quiet song, there is a discernable hiss the entire time. It makes even loud music sound muddy to me.

I ran 2.4 (and 2.2A) after a Chad's superwipe since I was coming off MeanROM. I ran it with whatever kernel came with 2.4 (I believe stock). I'm going to try again but use the latest Anthrax and see if that helps.

My Evo 3D is running MeanRom ICS v1.7, and I have the beats audio package installed that is included with the MeanRom folder. I turn on Beats on and off and notice absolutely no difference. I'm thinking this is because of the kernel im running, but i wanted clarification. I've used Beats on Gingerbread sense 3.0/3.5 roms and noticed a difference in the quality. I'm Htc-dev unlocked and my Hboot is 1.5 S-On. i have to run Anthrax-htcleak-stockfirmwaretext.zip as my kernel. This has its own problems, such as no USB file transfer, no 3D, and the occasional reboot. Is this kernel affecting beats audio?
Thanks!

Anthrax Does break 3D but will not break beats, from my understanding beats will only be enhanced in headphones and not speaker. Im on 1.7 and I can hear the difference although I dont see the icon while playing music.

Noticed the same thing. If I enable or disable Beats in ANY ics rom, I hear a pop in my headphones, but no sound difference (like I did in GB). Also, none of the equalizer apps work (like DSP Manager) either. I can make changes, but no sound difference. On the GB ROMs, they worked perfectly. Hopefully the official Sprint release will fix the issue, but I'm not holding my breath.
Having said that, I've noticed that the default levels on ICS are MUCH better than those of GB. In fact, I almost don't need any equalizer apps, especially with the sound enhancers built into the HTC Music app.

I went from the old Energy April Release to Quicksense 7.0. I must say Quicksense is fast! Even scored higher on Quadrant. And audio is good! Reason I left Energy was because I had a few minor glitches, mainly in the BT.
Cons though... mainly for me, Leedroid, doesn't have it. I like my 5x5 icons, I like my battery bar on top, and a few other minor things I can do with Energy rom. Another con for me, I can't enable sound effect for the weather, weather widget crashes every time. ;/
The new energy rom just came out and I plan to try it out! Waiting for the download.
I was just curious what you guys prefer and why?
I don't do quadrants..... But quick sense is the best rom I've ever felt on the Amaze on either OS when it comes to performance...

I had 1 major issues and 1 minor issues with Quicksense.
Major is was that I could not get music to play through BT using my car's stereo. It would just go through the phone's speaker, even when told it to use my car. My minor issue, I need my 5x5 drawer lol. I love that!
Does anyone know if Energy is based on 2.14.531.3?
