Removal will require flashing of a rom without beats add on .

Just re-flash GalaxyMOD - you won't need to wipe your phone (and it shouldn't wipe it automatically), but it will restore the original audio settings.
My mistake thought the rom had beats in it already as some have .

Thank you guys!
i will try that as soon as i am back from vacation ;-)
i ll let you know what happened.
thx!
meevil
so guys,
it worked! thank you so much!
But unfortunately I have another problem, which i had ever since I am on GalaxyMOD.
I dont wanna open a new thread, so hope you guys can help me with that here:
Every 3 to 5 times i turn on Wifi (either by toggle or in the settings) the wifi "turning on"-process freezes and a minute later the phone freezes. When i restart phone by long pressing the power button, its starts and wifi is turned on.
But as I said, this does happen every 3 to 5 times. So sometimes it works with no problem.
Any idea how to fix that?
thx

Installing 'Beats Audio' was the first thing i done after Rooting my Gs2 i9100, im not 100% possitive on how to do any of this stuff properly and i really dont want to ruin my phone..
Ok so once i installed Beats Audio using the 'CMW' app ive been having problems with my Camera (a black screen shows but im still able to take photos and view them) and with and Video i try to watch, either from my 'Gallery' or From 'Youtube' it still shows a black screen and just plays the sound. i dont know how to fix it and i really need help. this only happend to within the last 12 hours and ive been trying to find a way to fix it NoneStop!
I followed the steps on how to root my galaxy s2 from this site >> http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-i9100-icsandroid-4-0/ << and everything was working fine for me after i rooted it, but once ive installed the 'Beats Audio' zip file on my phone it just ruined my camera (i can still take photos fine but just cant see what im taking the photo of until i look in my Gallery) and videos (all i see is a black screen but plays sound only)
The beats audio Rom/Zip file name that i installed is "Beats_AudioLib Ultra Addon.zip"
can someone please help me and tell me step by step on how to Fix this problem i have?
Thanks

The difference is just slight, you will see no icons and no other thing because all those things work in the background.
I've just take a look over the updater of the ROM, i think i haven't set permissions on the one present on the site, i will provide a patch for it.

I don't know why would you possibly want DSP Manager, it is not included in the ROM, it must be installed in system in order to work, i have provided a flashable zip if you really want it.
I just tried it by flashing no change displaying. Error on restart as
The application. Dspmanager (Process com.bel.android.dspmanager) has stopped. Unexpectedly. Plz try again
Plz help master

DSP manager should be installed just fine through that zip, maybe it is not compatible with something else like dolby or else, don't know for sure as i can't test
If you really want DSP manager, then you could do a nand backup, wipe everything, factory reset from both Dell Menu and Recovery, flash again DSP and see if it works, after that you can install the things you want.
But the best solution is to abort this ideea and try something else, but my opinion is that you don't need DSP manager as you have a lot of audio processing tools there, xLoud, Beats Audio, Dolby Digital and whatever you have there, so the best thing you can do if you really want an equaliser is to find a Player that has Eq built-in. This is the best i can do for now
√√√√√Yes ur correct master, i hv adopeded method mentioned by you it. Worked but as soon as i hv instaled audio beats again it force closes.
It is clear zat dsp manager & audio beats confilts
By da by master is there any fix for this ???
I hv searched the fourum for this but i dint find any thing +vely to improve.
As u said to try player hving inbuilt equlizer its a good idea :thumbup::thumbup:
Jetaudio plus works great with x bass & other things
Curently i hv. running following things sussfully-
Audio beats,dolby mobile,srs(no srs panel on menu), mega bass of sony xperia s.

If beats audio and DSP conflicts, than all you can do is to not install one of them
Your choice of what progra to let down

you know... i think we should only use sound processing on demand like poweramp... not always on for the whole time for the whole application as i think battery consumption would rise since audio processing takes cpu times more or less...
last time i use dsp but i dont think whats the point of using it if it consumes battery because audio processing is always on... so i give up on it and use on demand audio processing like poweramp that have built-in equalizer and such and it sounds nice to the ear also

Well, all those sound precessing apps like Beats Audio, are working only when some sound is out of the speaker, you can hear if you play a song and then stop it some faded sound coming from the speaker then it stops, it's simple as that, if it's not used it stops, battery saved.
However, i experienced some problems with the sound not stopping and needed to reboot in order to stop it, this kind of problem i had using skype and when playing music on headphones and removing the headphones with the music still playing. But the problems where quite rare i can say.
Yes master its so rare, once i had with longhorn 2.9.1 rom

[Q] help to remove xloud and stock sound effects

hello guys, i would like to remove sony integrated xloud, normalizer and other stock sound effects, and i'm planning to use viper4android.
is there a way to do that? i mean, i'm now at .757 stock based ROM with doomkernel v15, and of course it's rooted, and UBL.
i don't plan to use any cm or custom based roms, coz i don't want to lose xperia keyboard and "small-apps" features.
thanks guys, cheers.
Delete SoundEnhancement.apk and SoundEnhancement.odex from /system/app and reboot.
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
done that, but all songs still sound like a bunch of hissing snakes, too much treble, typical sony equalizer.
been trying friend's z ultra with carbon rom, songs sound much much better even without viper4android installed, good mid ends/ clear vocals
i'm sure my device's speaker is not damaged.
if you guys have ipad or iphone, try listening some musics or videos on it with the built-in speakers, then compare them to ZU stock, that's my point, more natural sound.

Oh, that's the Clear Phase option. Disable it, enable xLOUD, crank the bass up and set the sound mode to studio. That's what I've done and it sounds good*. You still won't get "good" audio through the external speakers though, since the Ultra is 6mm thick. I'm very happy with the audio quality through headphones though.

[Q] increasing media volume in headphones now we have root??

Hi,
I currently have a Xperia z2 which has a locked bootloader, i was really upset to find out cause of this i was locked in on getting custom roms.
Now with the new root i wanted to see if it was possible to now increase the media volume when i play my music and when ringtones are playing, i know about the likes of music apps like power amp but don't personally find the increase through that app to be great, gets pretty distorty.
So louder music in ear is what i am looking for
Also with a locked bootloader is that it, im never gonna have the option to use a custom rom
As far as I know that requires you to install a custom kernel. And at the moment the only way you can do that is by unlocking your bootloader and flashing the custon kernel. No other work around per say.

In some freaky way I think I've found a massive boost to in ear audio volume without root or any mods at all.
Simply open your music player, play track and turn volume up to max. Now while music is playing open settings, sound, volumes and turn "RINGTONE" up to max even if it already is. Click OK and when the menu closes the volume boost to music is instant and easily noticeable.

[Q] Choppy Sound w/ USB DAC

Hey Guys - having some issues recently with my Z2 and USB DAC output; though frankly hi res output hasn't worked properly unless I use USB Audio Recorder app.
But usually, if I keep Hi Res Audio via USB unchecked, Pandora & Beats Music will output properly. That's been the case through .402 firmware. I have .314 installed right now and with the USB option checked or unchecked, music starts off smooth and then becomes choppy. I'm on .314 rooted with the bootloader locked (it has been unlocked in the past ... just used the locked bootloader root method the last time I upgraded the firmware).
The only mod I have installed is the dual stereo speakers for speakerphone. Any suggestions? Should I do a clean FTF install or something? Go back to .402 maybe?
Thanks,
Praz
UPDATE:
I did a fresh install of the US/Canada .314 firmware and then rooted via the exploit (kept the bootloader locked). Aside from USB Audio Player Pro, any other output via USB ends up in choppy audio. I dropped Sony support an e-mail and they were useless, so I'm at a loss as to what's causing the issue - the phone or something else?
Those who unlocked your bootloaders and / or rooted, and are using USB DACs w/ the Z2 - is everything working ok?
Thanks,
Praz.
UPDATE 2:
Did a full repair via PC Companion, only installed Spotify and tested w/ DAC. Same issue with or without USB enhancement enabled. Hmm. Running out of ideas.
UPDATE 3:
So after much ado, it just looks like there are some compatibility issues with the Z2 and Fiio X5 in DAC mode. I came home and connected the Z2 to my full size Schitt Gungnir DAC's USB input and everything works perfectly. Then I grabbed my HRT Microstreamer and ....it's working perfectly now too! I hadn't actually tried it for several weeks so may have been something to do with prior setup I guess.
Anyway ..tentatively, looks like I'm good mostly. X5 bad. Microstreamer good.
Out of curiosity did you get any crackling noises with the microstreamer? That's what I'm experiencing now. Happens after about 4 minutes of play time.

Yes, eventually it did start crackling. Someone on head-fi explained it to me here:
http://www.head-fi.org/t/720785/sony-xperia-z2-vs-nw-zx1-walkman
Still, I never had problems with my Note 2 or Note 3, so perhaps they're using different USB drivers. If you use USB Audio Player Pro, though, there's no crackling. It's only if you're using the native Sony Walkman app or any streaming app like Pandora / Spotify / etc.
Hope that helps!
Hrm interesting I've been getting the same issue running cm11 based ROMs on z2, though I would describe the sound as more of a clicking.
I wonder if the native USB DAC support in android L will rectify the issue.

Can someone tell me if this problem is solved? or will it work with a fiio e17 without the choppy sound? i would like to use it with spotify
