During the installation of the ARHD 9.1 I checked the option for PureXaudio.
I figured it's not an app because I don't see it in the app list. Is this more like beats audio enhenser? Something you install and it adjust the sound regardless of the player you use?
How do I turn it on/off? I am using Winamp and Rocket Player. Neither player's setting have an option to turn the purexaudio function on.
Please help.
Thanks !
It's always on. No settings or anything.

On a side note, I am trying out different audio player and have noticed an issue of strong background hissing.
I tried a few different combination of players having Beats Audio on and off but the problem is beyond bearable to my standards. Some players are better than the others but non so far is satisfactory.
Do you have an audio player that you recommend?
Once again thanks for your help
Do you guys notice any difference with PureXaudio?
I thought the Beats is already pretty good, so I don't install that.

Well I was on the Daily New's website and I opened a video and it opened HTC streaming media player. Beats audio showed up in the taskbar like with htc music except when I closed streaming media it was still there allowing me to use it with things like grooveshark and Pandora. I'm not sure if this is a freak thing or if this is a glitch that works in our favor. I encourage you to try it and report back. Thanks!
Note: htc streaming media is not in your app drawer. I don't know how to open it without clicking the right video
I am going to assume you didn't actually close the app, therefor the icon stayed in the status bar but was not actually equalizing the Pandora/etc.
No, I closed the app in a task killer. I think I would know if I closed it or not. And it is actually equalising Pandora because when I press disable you can hear a difference.
Is the beats audio feature software or hardware?

Both. The Beats DSP is hardware. The EQ settings and API are software. Now oddly enough I've had similar experiences but they were short lived. Such as I switched from playing a song in stock to watch a video or something and 30 seconds into the video the beats EQ gave out finally and there was a noticeable drop in audio fidelity on the video I was watching. I'd like to find a way to force it always on.. maybe someone can make an app with the api that just runs in the background holding Beats open.
An App is something that I was getting at. There is the released versions of the stock rom, its gotta be in there somewhere. And with all the custom roms coming out its gotta be available to modify and such. Ill have to start digging into it this weekend.
If you are rooted, try this post. The sound will carry to all apps like Pandora, or Google Music:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396281
He gives you pics of exact settings to reproduce the sound, and further along in the thread another guy gives another group of settings that sounds even better. Try both and see which you like. Both sound great, but they're your ears, so do what's best for you.
I did it and it sounded great, just be careful with task managers because if you kill the DSP manager, it will stop the EQ settings.
If you're not rooted there are apps that set the eq that you can buy from the market. Hope that helps.
There is supposed to be an update coming in the near future that will allow you to use beats on all apps... I think
Hey guys,
I was wondering It seems that other phones have come with beats settings? is it true that ours only has an on/off option? if so i must say that is quite ****ty... or maybe i just cant seem to find the settings, fairly confident i have searched everywhere in this phone n this phone does have quite a few hidden settings so i may be wrong
Thanks in advanced!
Hmmm, I have never seen any beats settings on the phones I have used. Are you sure they were Beats settings and not a mod of some sort that was added in by a developer?

there are no beats settings persay, just audio options, beats works only when headset is plugged in
they're called enhancements(audio)
There are no settings, just an on/off when headphones are plugged in.
Beats works through bluetooth as well.
Thanks for clarifing. i guess im just used to dsp manager from cyanogenmod on my dinc, it probably was a modded version where i saw settings for beats!
X - Rezound owner here.
beats is an on/off switch.
u can really tell when using the beats headphones.

It's a significant difference my car too (using wired aux cable). The sound may actually be better than the in-dash CD player.

Beats is just an equalizer, making it sound better. It makes bass louder, as most small devices have little audible bass, and slightly tweaks existing settings to make an overall better sound experience. If your car stereo doesn't have real equalizer settings, just the treble/bass/middle that most do, then yes, your phone probably would sound better.
EDIT: FIXED
Mod, please delete this thread

Hi
I'm using Carbon ROM 0913 Nightly, and there's a weird popping sound at the few seconds of every song I listen to, and some distortions (too much bass).
I've disabled DSP Manager's settings, but it won't work, it stays the same.
Also, the PhotoSphere and Panorama seems to not be able to focus (sometimes it works, at random)
Any help on both issues?
Thanks! :cyclops:

I see your just getting started here but reading is a very important. help yourself first.
there is another post, only 2 threads down, with regards to your picture problems. eve the developer of Carbon has posted in there. as far as the sound goes, well, that really seems to vary depending on what ROM you are on. I have ran many different ROM's and had various different sound or music qualities. I have not heard music on the CARBON ROM. unfortunately my phone does not like that one. don't know why, but it goes to show how every phone is a bit different.
you could try either a different player or apply a different sound modification. I don't know whether its the speaker in phone your getting. I get bad sound from or headphones. it is a tiny little speaker in phone and at some point it is going to faulter. when I run the VIPER sound mod I get crackle too.
good luck

Try AC!D sound mod for Samsung devices DSP manager is pretty bad for the sound of your device in my opinion. Thier EQ was making my music really crappy until I find this
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
this device is awesome but there is something that i litterally got annoyed by...
i was using iphone 5s before this phone and it gave sound to headphones like a charm. when you tried to increase the sound it indeed was increasing it
but this phones headphone performance is ****!!! litterally when bass comes in, the sound drops so hard. and when i try to listen a music GAIN is somewhat weird it is good at normal points of the music
then the drop comes and sound gets decreased.. a lot!
how can i fix this
Audio performance of this device is a joke. I hope that it is a software problem and not hardware but i doubt it is...
It is indeed software

After experimenting so much with apps and settings i do now confirm that this issue is caused by the default settings because in "dj" apps after changing gain and messing with eq along with the sound settings the cracking is %99 gone and the sound level increased as it started to hurt my ears (but im using apple headphones)

hi, can you say what is that application that you use ?, and how did you configure it ?, thanks
Are You Using The Equalizer Or 3D Audio?
The device can only reach it's highest audio performance if you have it set to 3D Audio, but sometimes the Equalizer can sound better. Also, what music player are you using?
bluetooth headset problem and sound problem
i will buy mate 10 lite but still this sound problem bluetooth headset problem continues?

I'm on cheapo audio technicas still makes noticeable difference, thanks !
Thanks. This is exactly what I was finding from 1 month
Hey, thanks for the suggestion. But one question. I'm subscribed to Google Play Music how can I increase the level from Google music app?
The songs downloaded are not recognised by 3rd party Music Players. Even Poweramp is not recognising it.
It is pretty clear that the device has the potential to deliver the best audio at an optimum level but people at Asus are giving a deaf ear to this. I guess a little bit of coding or just a software update can sort the problem. Or some hack might help.

When i will get time i will try to boost sound at kernel level.......
Or just use viper4android or something like that, the dolby atmos, or other sound mods are also available. They work systemwide. I haven't tested and don't know any will work or not. Report here if someone tries.
Poweramp Hi-Res Output will only work if Viper4FX is not installed. With Viper the audio is capped at 16 bit, uninstall it and experience 24 bit audio. It does make a huge difference for high quality music files (lossless .FLAC). Happy with my Shure SE 215 now.
Viper ,Dolby are capped only upto 16bit 48khz ..,..
Poweramp uses its own build DSP to trigger 24bit 384khz of sd636 built in DAC bypassing Nxp smart amp.....
Poweramp is dope......none can match its sound quality.....
I hope that Nxp smart amp support 24bit 384khz audio seraching a way to implement it
Works amazingly man. Now I can finally retire my Mi A1.
Works nice...but after enabling.... I can't control it's volume. Even with system media volume to zero....songs play at maximum sound.
