Hi I am running CyanogenMod 11 nightlies on my Droid DNA and whenever the volume is over half on the external speakers, the bass makes a "slapping" sound (similar to what you'd hear in one of those overly loud car stereo systems). Anyways, this has begun to get pretty irritating and I'm wondering if anyone has come across this problem or has any solutions. I've checked the DSP manager app that comes preinstalled on CM and bass boost is turned off and all the settings look fine to me.
Regards,
Alex
EDIT: I found a solution, use a root uninstaller to delete the DSP application, reduces the speaker crackling and bass slapping effect.

Also you can use Viper4Android instead of DSP.
You try using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2211163 with clarity speaker option? It worked on my DNA to reduce the bass distortion. I used it on sense, so don't know how well it works on AOSP

Like my heroc, the Shift suffers from the lack of a low end when listening to music in decent headphones/audio system. Though the Shift has definitely improved, it still isn't near where I feel it should be.
I followed the directions in this thread to install DSP Manager on my Shift:
[FIX] DSP Manager working on sense rom. +Possible fix for bad speaker
Does this really work for the shift? Anyone try it? I'm in need of increasing my loudness for in call volume especially...
DSP Manager works excellent on my HTC EVO Shift 4G. The EQ is highly customizable.

No drawbacks or issues though after installing it? What's the best way to backup before doing this?
Ok well I installed it, and enabled the phone speaker and adjusted the peaks. I did a test and don't notice any difference when in a call on speaker phone. Anyone else?

I only notice a difference when using headphones or speakers.
I run my phone to my car stereo, wondering of any one else does this? What rom/kernel/music player combo. I've found that most aosp roms have poor audio quality, seems to make my subs sound like crap

Yep you have to install some equalizer to make the sound decent from an aosp rom, since I use my phone for music constantly I use sense roms for a daily driver.

Neo CM10.1 rom + IHateWebOS latest test kernel + power amp music program = ear orgasm.
Sounds a lot better than any stock sense rom i have heard so far.
but it also depends on the equipment you have, what settings you have, what you like to listen too, ect.....
Using Vigor360 still. But Sense 3.6 and the Beats mod sounds great. My only complaint is that the Play Music app sounds horrible on bluetooth. Using the headphone jack for Play Music, and any other app on bluetooth sound fine.
Hearing that the AOSP roms don't sound all that great makes me hope there will eventually be a 'leaked' JB update from HTC...odds are not great on that though.
This is easy. Get rid of any sound defects apps (HtcMusicEnhancer.apk, HtcMusicEnhancer.odex, HtcBeatsNotify.apk, HtcBeatsNotify.odex). Turn off any equalizer, or set it to "flat" if it can't be turned off. If your preamp doesn't have enough gain, get Volume+. A direct connection will sound better than Bluetooth. The only reason a ROM would make things sound bad is if it's screwing with the (raw/decoded, depending on the source) bitstream.
I just use poweramp and mess with the EQ a lot.
I use Equalizer with Pacman.

I use to love using DSP Manager, for whatever reason it only seems to work with Apollo now so it's useless to me.
Hi Everyone,
I wish that I am posting it in right forums. If not, Please move it to suitable Forums.
I had this problem from the day I bought L9. That is, I faced this problem in Stock ROM, and now I am facing it on CM ROM too.
But, after Googling this problem, I think that this seems to be a very critical problem with all LG Optimus L9 Users, as all the given below Threads actually point to the same problem:
Audio problem headphones
Problem with music listening
Issue with music player
May be these people were not able to explain the problem very well, so I am posting it again. I wish that I would explain at my best.
Problem?
We know that there is a Safe Volume Level in our Android, and it gives some sort of warning like Raise Volume above Safe Level? This may cause hearing problem! Blah Blah!, when we try to increase the volume to Max Level.
When I try to increase the volume to Max level, and suddenly when very High Beats(you know what I mean) come in the music of the song, the Music Player pauses. The Connection of the earphone gets detached from the phone, and it plays the Song in Loudspeaker of phone, when I Resume the song.
So, I have to unplug the Earphone and Plug it again to Listen to it.
This Problem happens with:
My LG Earphones
Other small earphones
My Car Music Player when using an AUX Cable
Music Player at my Gym
This Problem does not happens with:
Steelseries Siberia Headphones
Its so strange to me that the problem is with all earphones, but not with this Gaming Headphone which I have. I just increase the Volume to Max level and it keeps playing it and the beats are awesome with this headphone.
Is the problem related to L9's Hardware? Or there is something with the Output of Audio? I don't know! I am a Noob with this!
So, I request for help as I am, and maybe some other people too, are sick of this problem. PLEASE HELP!
Thank You
Best Regards
no prob with me

It happens with any song, at maximum volume.
Is it something related to Output of Audio? Maybe it does not give problem with Good Heaphones like your SkullCandy and my gaming headphone of SteelSeries.
Maybe these headphones are able to process very High level sound? Or something else? There must be some solution!
Thanks for your reply!

Although, I can see 90% change with Viper4Android, but still at some extent, when I tried to increase the volume to Max, the music is getting stopped in some high beats song.
FYI, currently I have enabled these settings in Headset settings menu of Viper4Android:
In Master Power, V4A FX is Enabled
In Fidelity control, Viper BASS is enabled
What settings I can alter for more advantage?
Thanks for your help brother :good:

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?
Is there equalizer app or something to improve sound?
Not while using headphones (aka not huawei sound effects)
My sound is very very low on latest update. I think Huawei broke something.
Question, does Mate 10 pro uses internal dac and sends analog signal trough USB port or it needs an active dongle with dac inside like Pixel and most phones?

I feel that too i think my sound speakers were louder when i first got it
They could improve it alot by allowing the earpiece act as stereo rather than high frequency
As i have stereo+ turned on so in youtube for example when i rotate the phone the sound experience really changes
As I've said elsewhere download equalizer pro. Works brilliantly and I use all the time with Spotify.

Most definitely. I am seriously considering downgrading my rom to an older os. It's just unbearably too low and tinny.

Can i see the icon of the app?
Or better a link?
Just look for Equalizer FX. Pro on Google play or other alternative APK places
