Is anyone else having an issue where Beats Audio has NO effect on Spotify on the Liquid ICS Rom? Is there a possible fix on it other than installing another EQ.
Maybe try reflashing

It doesn't work with slacker either. No big deal. It'll get fixed eventually.

I've reflashed it a few times.
Anyway, for some odd reason when I installed an equalizer app, the beats audio started working with Spotify... seems a bit weird there :/

The equalizer app may have added a lib that spotify needs. What eq did you install?

It's called Music Volume EQ:

Did you uninstall this eq and it still worked? I think this eq took over where beats wasn't working and you're just thinking that beats is working.

I've had the sound cut out all together in Spotify. A reboot fixed. I've had a few other things wack out like chrome always freezing. I'm going to wipe and reflash. I'll let you know if that helped

awesome beats won't work with pandora either.
I was under the impression that beats only worked with the stock music player, but then that might be a stock limitation and not really matter when it comes to custom roms <.<

Awesome beats is just what they decided to call the dsp manager for cm9/cm10. It should integrate with and music app like it did on cm7.

Nope. I actually started enabling and disabling beats features while the song was playing, such as increasing bass etc and it was functioning. I didn't uninstall the the EQ, but I did close it by holding the power button down for an extended period of time.
I'll try your method again. I've tried several others but none of them work. So far volume + has worked the best.

I didn't notice a difference either till I was in my sisters car and she commented on how much nicer my phone sounded that hers through aux. I didn't notice a difference in my car because I have subs and in car speaker performance isn't noticeable when you have subs blaring lol. We played a song in her car with my phone (same Google music app, equalizer turned off on both phones) then same song with her phone and mine was much cleaner and the bass hit a bit harder through her standard car speakers. It definitely made a difference. Eventually I put the same beats files on her phone and she loves it. She said before she couldn't turn it up too loud because it distorted her speakers. I believe it has more of an effect the louder you go and the quality of the speaker

But we have almost the same thing in settings - sound - media audio effects.
Or is it still better comparing with these? Or with equaliser in power amp for example?
I never tried it and don't believe it much.
Beats is overrated and just a name. Musicfx, dspmanager, and any other application equalizer does the exact same thing.

It is basically an background equalizer. And is nice for people who don't like messing with an equalizer or if my sister, who doesn't understand how an equalizer works. Its a good alternative and really only makes a difference at clearing the sound at high volumes. That's really its only benefit for an average user. Some market equalizers don't do this.
I also found a site once that deeply explain how the beats "driver" worked or compared and it was interesting. Not mind changing but it didn't explain how it is pretty much an equalizer but with a few built-in features only for beats. I'll look it up and post it.

I have the beats installed from the Rocco ROM i use. I also use win amp pro that has an eq so the sound quality is great.. I am sure with just the eq from the win amp it would sound great just the same.

I have been saying this for years now and no one listens. I use free "Equalizer" app from the Market, everyone loves it. And I have my $9.99 SkullCandy headphones and they are great!
Does anyone that flashed the beats audio know if the beats headphones with inline control work once flashed because i was looking at a set and didn't buy them because when i tried them the controls didnt work but when i plugged them into a phone with beats they worked.
Here's a flashable zip for DSPManager. I've confirmed it working on HTC's player. It works along side beats just fine without conflict for screaming bass! Feel free to report any issues but it should be an error free experience.
Update : originally it was posted that this worked with google music however HTC player is the only confirmed player. Sorry for the confusion. Also for some reason audio effects drop out when using Car app.

It's version 1.0 and was originally developed for cyanogenmod. The app is the same one you've seen in custom roms, but quite frequently the audio libs aren't configured properly and create a conflict so DSPManager doesn't work as intended (sound effect settings don't do anything). This zip contains proper reference to the sound effect libs for correct functionality.

That's exactly what I use it for, only try it with subs...amazingly clean bass. My subs would not even perform at the level they do without this app. I don't listen to cd's anymore because nothing can top the quality of sound I get from using the app with the phone over bluetooth.
I prefer to drag and drop the files. Besides all the files in system, would I need to drag anything else? Tried and it refuses to work with beats. Am I missing something? I'm on OMJ newest 4.04

Which enhancements are you using that you are confident aren't working? Have you enabled bass boost? Are you using headphones or larger speakers? Beats turns on automatically when using headphones or bluetooth, this package doesn't restrict that feature. The package flashes DSP as a system app but it should work fine as a user installed app too and yes you can push the proper files to each specified system folder. All that is required is a reboot for the files to have an effect.
Works great in my latest Rom!

The difference in bass sound even for high end headphones isn't always that recognizable. If the other outputs are working it means they all should be, at least I haven't encountered an issue where only headphone effects don't work. Did you test the equalizer? Put all the settings in random positions and the sound should change radically to confirm the settings for that output are working. I suggest the equalizer for bass if indeed as you say there is absolutely no change when using bass boost.

Hi guys I wanted to share what I found to be working on my Sprint Optimus G.
I've been using this audio engine and the results have been pretty great.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002367
Use the universal installation in aroma and remember if you install walkman don't install any add-ons.
I personally skip the walkman installation and use the noozy add-on.
Please do a nandroid backup before trying and do not install on top of nocturnal's music mod until someone verifies it does not cause any issues.
Remember not to use music player equalizer as the installed app changes sound system wide.
Also don't forget on first boot let device settle and then reboot.
BTW this has worked on my epic 4g, gs3, touchpad, asus transformer and evo 3d with just about the same results: amazing control over sound with great clarity and bass.
I haven't tested on a att version so don't know if it works with no issues as on my sprint version but, wanted to put it out there for your guys as well since I've also been reading these threads from the beginning.
Thanks for viewing.
Backing up right now then I'm going to flash the Universal and then the Noozxoide addon just like you recommended! Will post back and let you know how things go Thanks for the link man.
Why make a separate thread...?
I find Noozoxide to be the best of the sound mods the recent updates only made it better

Nothing beats Voodoo on the Nexus S or Galaxy S because the Galaxy S and Nexus S use a very good audio chip.
so, I've noticed that when using teh Nooz player, if i lock my screen, the music will play to the end of the track, but won't move forward to the next track unless I power on my phone. . . anyone else notice this?
Didn't work on mine
Did the ACID installation along with the Walkman (like they suggested). Followed all the instructions. It gave me the ACID app, the Albums app, the Dolby Mobile app, and the Walkman app. However...
-I didn't get any service for some reason. Just a red X by my bars while I was using it.
-I get force closes every time I go into the Walkman app to mess with the sound enhancements. Literally doesn't let me do anything.
-My music doesn't play...AT ALL. On ANY music player
I followed the directions for version 6.1 perfectly too. Sucks because I just went to Slick Rom and got rid of Nocturnal (and their Sony enhancement app) so I wanted to bring some good sound quality back to the Slick Rom. Oh well...

Has anyone noticed a loss of sound quality after switching from stock to an AOSP ROM and kernel? I've tried a few equalizers as well, but can't get that deep, clear sound that I felt I was getting on stock (with Beats disabled). Was there some HTC magic hidden in the audio drivers, or am I just imagining it?
I'm using the same headphones, music player and files; it's not a huge difference, but I feel like there definitely is one.

On Infected 2.9.1 ROM/Kernel and it sounds better than earlier versions of AOSP. I do notice a difference between the HTC Music app sound quality and others like Apollo or Play Music, so there may be some magic, but I think its software.

It can be a little finicky to get working and you have to re-install this after any rom updated/changes.

Before starting with adjustment,
We need to choose correct output.
Which output we want to adjust.
There are three outputs to choose.
Built in speakers, line out (i.e wired headphone), wireless output(i.e Bluetooth headphone).
Hear it with correct output, while adjusting/setting the desired sound processing style.

i read the entire thread on it in the note2 forums (took two days) but i see there was a nooz player that was pulled due to some issue. i am currently looking for it to test over poweramp.
I kept changing the settings in the built in speakers category to hear differences on the phone speakers itself but no difference.. :what:
I also do not see "music effects" under settings > sound. Help?
EDIT: Oh. It only works with noozy (classic) and play music. Not working on stock HTC music player.

I got it working on my HTC one max by uninstalling the "music enhancer" service/app with titanium backup. It force rebooted the phone, and after that, it works as native audio on everything! If you try this, make sure you make a nand backup... Did that about 8hours ago and haven't had any problems yet. Even have v4a audio on phone calls...
Poweramp is the best music player for Android hands down with a full 16-band equalizer
I'm using Viper Audio on mine. I use the stock music player and when it doesn't sound like its working, I open the viper app and it kicks in. Sounds great.
