Looking for audio bass booster

My old iPAQ had this nice setting where you could enable it to boost the bass on the headphone socket (not on the speaker). This made music on the earphones sound much better. Has anyone found any program that could give this bass boosting feature to the XDA II?

1. Let's use GSPlayer2 It is a great audio player. Plays Wav, Wma, Mp3, Ogg, manage playlists, can change volume without big jumps. Its only 300K. It has got a builtin good quality equalizer and bass boost. Its Freeware. Search it, or if you can't found I will upload
2. In my iPAQ, 3630 there wasn't a setting for bass and treble boost. But the hardware is in the device. I copied the HH_MPH.exe (as I remember) from another iPAQ (3970?) and voila, there is the settings in the control panel. I will try this with the wallaby when I home.

It doesn't claim to be able to play WMA files. My music collection uses the WMA format (smaller size, better quality).

I am sorry. I don't remember correctly. GSPLayer2 does not play WMA. (Maybe a newer version?)
However, OGG format better than WMA. In my opinion, with equal bitrate files, the OGG is the best, after it WMA and the worst quality is the MP3.
Ok, when I'am at home I check the bass bosst. HH_MPH.exe.

i use udaeq from ipaq 3630 as a bass boost programm, and it works well
with media player.

Well . . . udaeq.exe does not seem to work with the i-mate. I installed it as directed in the readme file (for PPC2002 - there is no WM2003 version). When I tapped the icon it began to draw the screen, then my i-mate froze and I had to SoftReset. I tried a couple of times with the same result and have now deleted it.
Anyone else have a suggestion?

Increase sound

hello
i want to increase the sound of the ringtone when i have an incoming call, because i cant hear it, i have an mp3 song
i tried editing
HKLM/Software/HTC/AUDIOGAIN/EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME: 19 => 1000
HKLM/Software/HTC/AUDIOGAIN/RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME: 00 => 1000
and its the same .
what can i do?
thanks

Is only the ring tone (the one you are trying to use) low volume? everything else is plenty loud?
If so you might try re encoding the mp3 with higher volume..
There are various options how to do this depending on what software you have available to you.. But i am pretty sure you can Google up a solution

i have tryed re encoding the mp3 but its the same, i think the problem is just in incoming calls if i put an mp3 song

I always use audacity to amplify the mp3 past the clipping point. This always make any of my mp3 ringtones just as loud as the standard ones.

Too high System Volume

hello everyone it's the first time I start a new post here..
There is a problem in the "system volume". When I am listening music in HTC Sence, it is too high even I have set it to the minimum value(6%).
Is there any ways to further lower the minimum system volume?
Thanks

Have you tried adjusting the volume controls via your Music Player application to further lower the sound?

I prefer to use the music tag in HTC Sence to play music, so I have no ways to adjust the volume to be further lower.

I Need A Better Audio Booster

I need a better audio booster for use with my XMI X II Mini speaker, the HD2 isn't quite loud enough, it's leaving the speaker with a lot of headroom.
I have been using the WOW STS HD cab, but I'm finding it hard to boost all frequencies uniformly with it.
Can the built in audio booster be tweaked or is there another program out there that i could make use of?

try the built-in equalizer in pocket player from conduits, maybe it will fit your requirements?

No improvement, seems worse (volume wise) than standard player with audio boost and WOW SRS HD (or even without this).
Edit: Just realised i can use WOW SRS HD with it.
This is still just about on part with standard audio booster i think, will experiment more.
Still would like away to tweak the standard audio booster or WOW SRS HD or an alternative method of boosting audio volume for use with speaker.
Earphones are not a problem (they are loud enough) and i don't mind the standard speaker for ring tones etc...

go the heavy way and starte htc audio booster, pocket player with critical - extreme settings and full bass + bass equalizer preset and srs, i think THAT shoudl be enough xD
for me windows mobile got awsome sound quality, but i still changed to cowon s9 mp

Oh yeah, just realised that audio booster works outside of HTC music player if you configure it in it's standalone app.
How do i configure pocket player to have critical extreme settings?
Edit: I'm just going to assume you meant max settings on the equalizer.

would need to install it again, so dont know exactly, but there are settings like this, just search xD
but its not the best thing of the pocketplayer.. what gives u awsome sound are the DSP plugins + the equalizer -> activate multi DSP in settings and choose surround sound and the bass DSP, maybe something else too, then go to the equalizer and make an awsome own equalizer, i would say with high deeps and ups
then start SRS with a good setting..
and htc Audio booster with like the same equalizer setting as the pocketplayer...
and now go search .flac songs, cause mp3 is to bad for this XD i dont know if it will still sound well after so much things xD..

Well, couldn't find extreme-critical anywhere, maybe it was on an older version.
I just realised that the equalizer which has a soft preamp built in wasn't actually enabled though, it has the word enabled in a list in settings, which made me thought i was enabled, but you actually need to press that and then there will be a tick next to it, there's no box for a tick or anything, nothing obvious that would have given that away.
Anyway I'm all set now, the preamp and equalizer is very loud even without WOW SRS HD.

i was using version 4.0.. >.<
but yea, then its ok^^ already thought what crazy human u are when pocketplayer isnt enough for u xD.. even for me it was enough

My conclusion on the music quality and volume on the Desire HD

I've had real problems with the volume of music on my HD. Max volume when playing music is fairly low/average. Max should be loud, it should make me want to turn it down.
I've also been very unsure on the quality of the music and what will give the best quality when playing music. Stock player? Stock player with EQ? Stock player with SRS? Stock player with Dolby? PowerAmp? PowerAmp with EQ?
__
I did about an hour of testing using old ipod headphones and my Sennheiser CX870s.
I put the stock music player widget on the same screen as the PowerAmp widget so I could play one song on them both and pause the player on one and start the other to compare music quality and volume between both players with both headphones. I did this over and over with classical, techno and rock music. that
I don't feel like typing an essay but I can confidently conclude that no combination of EQ in either player or SRS etc gives the music on my HD enough volume.
I can also confidently conclude that music does sound better on the stock Desire HD music player with SRS than PowerAmp. No combination of EQ or preamp settings in PowerAmp sounded better than the stock player with SRS. At the same time though, the difference is not that great.
This is of course all my opinion with my ears and my cx870's.
One problem I've had with the cx870's is that they sound way to bassy with stock player SRS and PowerAmp with the EQ, but that is probably headphone related so not relevant to this.
I found that while jacking up the preamp in PowerAmp did help the volume, it also distorted it and somewhat ruined the clarity of the music. Plus the volume output was still not much better than the stock player with SRS.

^^ Interesting thanks very much for that... much appreciated... I still have to work out much needed replacement the the stock player. I was thinking of trying PowerAmp next.
By the way I have seen some volume raise apps or Android volume unlock that are supposed to help maybe a bit on other phone models have you tired or had any luck with any of them on the Desire HD? Definitely something I'm keen to find a fix to as well as it's not really acceptable IME to play a youtube video and have it too quiet for friends to hear ect.
Take care n good luck. Will post back it I find any good news before you do.

I was using Poweramp first but arrived to the same conclusion than Rogueblade. Stock player has a better sound definition than third party players : less distortion etc...

Do you really find it too quiet? I find mine on the brink of too loud when its on max - I generally have it a click or 2 under, and its loud enough to drown out the sound of anyone around me and the sound of the train.

using headphones i find SRS amazing, im using it even in my car even using the headphones jack
just tried an HD2 and desire next to the DHD, seriously people i don't get what the problem is, the DHD has a much clearer sound
i'm on OTA 1.72 by the way

Am I missing something not?!? I cannot see how it's possible to use the stock player as lets say I copy 2 CDs on to the SD card. When I go to access it though the stock player there is not 1 folder with CD1 and another folder with another CD2 there is just a mess of MP3 tracks and folders. Now that is just one double CD from one artist. I would not like to see what happens when I go and transfer a resonable size collection of my MP3s containing mutliple folders of CD's and live sets, each foldered under artist names and music styles.
Someone please explain it to me if I am wrong. Would I be right to say I need to use another player that specifically has a feature of search/display music by folders?

I find the volume on DHD good enough. I use the device for music in the car and always leave it around half way and fully cracked up on the stereo and it's loud enough.
While listening with headphones I find max too loud but the volume preference would differ from person to person. Also I find SRS gives a nice bass boost which is great.

Yes, the stock htc music application sorts music by artist, album, music and then you can also create custom playlists.
Have you tried winamp for android? If it's anything like the pc version it will perfect for what you need.
