HTC Audio Booster - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Lots of us have tried to make HTC Audio Booster works on our devices without succeeding. I wil share my experience.
First this apps where seen for the first time on the HTC LOVE (enhanced version of the Artemis with more memory and HTC Media Hub application that included audiomanager and audiobooster). The Audiobooster provide 12 band equalizer and possibility to adjust bass, treble,.....All this settings are HARDWARE settings. Means to resume that the quality is very good cause it acts directly on the sound chip and not on the sound file as software equalizers do.
Secondly, I have tested HTC Audio Booster on different HTC devices (Artemis, trinity, Tytn, Herald) and it doesn't work. Our dear Munrus and LVSW also tried to make it work in Trinity but didn't manage.
There some stranges values in the registry and we thought we audiobooster could act on it but we never manage to hear a difference by changing them:
registry HKCU\ControlPanel\AudioAdvContrl\Bass : 0
HKCU\ControlPanel\AudioAdvContrl\SuperBass : 0
HKCU\ControlPanel\AudioAdvContrl\Treble : 0
HKCU\ControlPanel\AudioAdvContrl\ToneEnable : 1
Why? I am sure at 100% that it doesn't work on many devices just that the HTC LOVE has a different sound chip. To give an example it is as if you wanted to make drivers and software of a 7 channels sound card working on a 2 channels card. It isn't the same hardware ! That is why (i think) HTC Audio Booster doesn't work on other devices than HTC LOVE. So you can put it out of the posts

Sony HBH-DS970 Stereo Bluetooth Headset with Universal

I want to buy this headset but I have some doubts about it and I thought you may help. (I have HTC Universal)
1. Does this headset really show the CONTACT'S NAME on display or just the phone number? If so, can I upgrade ROM or install patch to make it show NAME? I use Pocket Informant, if it matters...
2. Does the remote really work? With all player's software (usually use TCPMP). With my laptop on standby and closed (screen faced inside) can I simply make it start playing and foward etc??
3. Can I see the song's info on display? Like artist, song's name and all?
4. As a simple headset (on car use), is it good enough? easy of use, good sound quality on recieving and mic good quality on talking? Or is it just like "Speeker on" effect on Universal that I have to have my mouth gludded on display to talk and other person listen clearly (laptop mode)?
5. As a headset (for music and movies purpouse) is it good quality sound (better than original HTC headphones/headset that came with Universal (wired ones)?
6. I've heard there was a problem reconnecting headset stereo after a call (recieving I think). I've also heard that had o reconnect on settings... Is it true? Happens with all PPCs and all Stereo BT headsets? Or just with some brands/models? If this happens, I dont know if its worth the money, since I recieve calls a lot (would be boring to restore settings or resets...).
Can be fixed with upgrade of ROM or patch (If there is this problem with Univ).
7. Is it worth to trade a normal BT headset (jabra b250v) and stereo headset (wired that came with Uni) for this one??? It's kinda expensive... Will I be pleased or its just problems... wireless stuff??
8. how do I know if my ROM has AD2P and AVRCP. If no, how do I upgrade to it?
Please help me decide if its worth the buy!
Thanks

Hi!
I'm using the SE HBH-DS970 bluetooth headset with QTEK 9000 aka Universal
1 - It shows contact names provided you've JETware Hands-free Extension installed otherwise you only have contact numbers on display
http://www.jetwaremobile.com/index.htm
2 - The remote works very well with Conduits Pocket Player v2.8's AVRCP
http://www.conduits.com/products/player/
3 - Didn't notice it can
4 - Not sure use in car (I don't drive) but it works well when use for talking
5 - Sound quality fairs vey well and its slightly strong on the bass side and not too strong on treble (comparing to BLUETAKE iPhono mini 450Rx). Did not try with Universal's wired headset
6 - This issue applies to many headsets too. Only way out is to exit the music program and re-start it and everything will be fine
7 - Why have 2 when you can have 1 integradted one?
8 - So far only the latest Universal, QTEK 9000, ROM has built-in A2DP and AVRCP.
Hope it helps
RE
Bro,
Your QTEK 9000 ROM
QTEK 9000 (Universal)
ROM Version: 1.30.77 WWE
Radio version: 1.09.00
ExtROM version: 1.30.176 WWE
has built-in A2DP and AVRCP
RE
Oh...and ,btw, add to your registry to have an improved A2DP performance with less stuttering/lag etc
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\BtA2dpSnd
Add "Priority256 "=dword:60 (Use Dword Value)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\Capability
Change Dword value to 69 (default is 37)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings\BitPool

Strange, I do not have the registry entry "Settings\". After "A2DP\", all I have is "Device1\", "Device2\" "Device3\", "Device4\".
I am using the tornado patch (not the Qtek ROM).
Anyway, I am using this Sony Ericsson headset:
- If I am playing music and a call comes in, the headset does not pick-up the music after the call. I have to shut everything down, and refresh the services of the headset.
- Usable range for stereo music is about 10-20 centimeters. So, if the Universal is on my belt, then the headset receives the music okay. Any further, and the headset does not receive the music. In other words, in my experience, the wired headset that came with the universal has longer range!!!
- The music title and contact names do not appear on the headset screen, but then I am not using JETware Hands-free Extension at the moment.
@FOSA: How is your experience, especially concerning:
- bt range (for music)?
- Resuming music after a call?
- I understand you are using the Qtek ROM (not the tornado patch)?
RE
Sorry, missed out one other important registry entry for smooth A2DP, here:-

- 5m of open space is not an issue
- Not possible to resume music after a call, however, I just exit Conduits Pocket Player v2.8 and re-start the player again and everything (including AVRCP cotrols) work fine. NO need to soft reset and re-pairing. My AVRCP controls even work with my QTEK 9000's lid closed. All these made possible with Concuits Pocket Player v2.8
- Yes, I'm using the QTEK 9000 with latest A2DP ROM + the 4 regsitry entries mentioned above for smooth music
Thanks for the info.
I will have to try Conduits Pocket player, and maybe even upgrade my JasJar to the Qtek ROM (I am guessing that i-mate will not release any new official ROM updates for JasJar).

RE
Sorry all,
Only 3 entries needed
Hi skywriter,
The 3 registry entries are added using an improved A2DP patch available on this forum - can't remember where. However, if you know how to add these entries then there's no need for the said patch.
You can have different values after trying them out and get the minimum stutter/lag/hiss etc on your set
See the attached pictures

Where to buy
Hello!
I want to know where is the best place to buy this headset (in Europe).
Thanks
Deiota
I don't know if this place is the "best", but I bought mine from this online store in Spain with very fast service/delivery:
http://www.bluezona.com/index.php?o...18&PHPSESSID=9b2d60858e02b1e75bc53faace6b690f
They have several other models available too.
FOSA,
You seem to know your DS 970 pretty well. I have the same model and I love it I must say. I am not experiencing any hiss or reception problems except when my 9000 is in a case where the magnet is messing around with it in general.
However... I have the following issues:
- Turn BT on 9000 on
- Turn DS 970 on
Although Wireless Stereo Option in the pairing is unchecked the phone streams all sound to the headset. I have to go in and check/save and uncheck/save to disable wireless stereo.
Also I cannot get Caller ID to work correctly with the Jetware. I emailed them and sent them a log and they determined that the headset is using extra commands which is what is causing the problem. Probably will be fixed in a future release but for now, it doesn't work.
Mind you, I have tested thoroughly and did go to the trouble to backu and hard reset. Both problems persist after hard reset with only one number in contacts for test purposes.
Any ideas? (the wireless stereo bit it killing me..)
Other than that I have to say, it's extremely well behaved, stylish, handy and reliable.
Joanna
Correction: I tried the new beta of Jetware and it works fine (so far) with the CallerID checked in the Advanced Options.

I don't have this problem. Once paired my QTEK 9000 auto detects my HBH-DS970 the next time when I turned both on and 'Handsfree' and 'Wireless Stereo' options are always checked
RE
Aaaaaaa.............its not relaible
I uninstall and re-install JETware and now its not displaying name caller id
:roll:
FOSA my problem is not whether it's checked or not. I have chosen to uncheck the wireless stereo and use it only as a headset when I drive. It completely ignores the UNchecked wireless setting and still streams all sound (including incoming call ringtone) to the DS970 even though it shouldn't. Setting is unchecked and the minute I turn on the headset it acts as a wireless stereo. Have you tried this at all?
I have not tried uninstalling but 2 days later the beta still works. I have two more questions for you, well one really:
1. Does it scroll the whole name of the contact? Mine shows the number and then the name but not the whole name (which in Greece could be miles long). Just the first 10 characters. On the HBH660 I know it scrolls the name. I am not sure if this is a limitation of the headset or the software.
2. Uninstall and remove the settings from the registry. It leaves the settings behind in HKLM/Software/Jetware. Trying installing then and see what happens. I use the beta which will be released with the next week or so (or so they said).

hi and thanks for all for replying back to me regarding the htc audio booster
ill have to patiently wait until one of the developers can help us out on this as without it sound quality isnt as good even tho core player has equaliser the htc audio booster brings out the best out of these devices since i use it on my trinity device it sounds wonderful

The only reson I don't use wm5/wm6 is BT stereo SKIPPING~

When I use the A2DP in wm5/6 I tray all versions BT stack~but no one could work,so I chose 2003se,IT's best for BT A2DP.
Why Helmi Do not fix that?Dose this really hard?
Yes, it's that hard to fix that. The only way we could get wm5/wm6 working flawless on BA is if we had the source code for the drivers and the testing/debug equipment.
If you know someone that works at HTC you could ask them to look for the BA devkit and sourcecodes on the storage rom... hehehe
Mine didn't skip with WM5 and did not skip when I first flashed WM6. Now it does. When I was messing around trying to connect to bluetooth devices (I couldn't connect properly), it stopped skipping for a while. I don't know if this gives any clues.

I know a way to prevented this bug,but not prefectly.
Use regedit tool,open to find software\widcom\plugin\av
add 3 dwords
Linespeed 320 (10+)
Blocks 16 or 32
Subbands 16
You will see the music quality is prefect
but the skipping frequency is above normal~
When using the asus p535,this way will surly improve the quality~and it no skipping,so I thing it must be the bug from the System~
Use win2003 have no such foolish bug.Now I set my pc back up my pda every time connected it with PC~Store the phone book in simcard~
I have no choice
Toxi,
Thanks. I couldn't add the Dword settings which you suggested because I had no Widcom file. So I loaded Helmi's 1.7 Broadcom BT driver. (Always wanted to try it. The Broadcom BT drivers alway better. Immediately after installing, my BA played music better alone and with my BT headsets. Adding the Hemi 1.7 BT cab, added the Widcom file which allowed me to add the Dword registry changes. The music sounds almost perfect.
I tested the BA with these three BT Stereo Headsets: Motorola S9 headsets; Chinese Copy Motorola BT820; and I-Phono RX450. The Motorola S9 works (It didn't at all with the MS WM6 BT Drivers). The S9 would only work if it's 12 to 18" from the BA. That's unacceptable. The BT820 chinese knockoffs skipped as usual (the skip some with every device cause they're knockoffs). The I-Phono worked perfectly with crisp clear sound and no skipping. I can also get further away from the BA but certainly not more than 3 feet without trouble.
In conclusion: Helmis Broadcom 1.7 cab worked to fix the sound problems completely with and without using the headsets. The newer headsets such as the S9 don't work all that well with the BA.
I hope this is helpful for others not satisfied with the music quality of the BA running WM6.
I wish HTC would make a Blue Angle II.

Improve sound quality via BT A2DP

Does anybody know how to improve sound quality for playing music over A2DP profile with Parrot handsfree? On Rhodium i applied some tweaks for quality improve and it was clear and nice to listen, but Leo is not so nice to hear
Thx a lot
I had to tweak my diamond too, looked for tweaks on the HD2 but couldnt find them, but the sound quality is way better on my HD2. I dont think it needs the tweeks tbh.
If i take both, TP2 and HD2 to my car, let play the same song and im switching between HTC's then has got TP2 much more clear and brilliant sound, without any quiet cracklings from tweeter speaker like it is on HD2 :-(
Same problem here, sound quality for a2dp is not what it should be. I tried adding the LineSpeed registry setting, it did improve the overall quality, but did not remove the cracking noise - and in my case I still have frequent skipping and gaps in the audio playback. Have not yet had a reply for Tech Support, and if/when I do, I don't think it'll be a very intelligable one...
Yop, i think too, that the answer will be unusable, or maybe they tell you that u should do a Hard rst :-D
First time i connected it to HF and let music play i thought that is a bad quality song, but it isn't :-(
Anyone idea?
I know there are some settings to definately improve the sound of A2DP. I've added them on my previous HD, and worked perfectly after that! I just found some things you might try (I just applied them myself as well, but havent tested them yet; I'm almost sure they'll work):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308752&highlight=A2DP+settings+bitpool
If I'll find the previost post which I applied in the past on my HD, I'll let you know. If the one I just posted will work, I'll let you know as well of course, because the litteral and figural crappy sound of A2DP is something I hate as well...
Edit:
Take a look at those settings as well from J-A-J-O at page 6:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1677577#post1677577
Again, I don't know exactly if it were those settings, but they sound familiar to me. I'm also busy trying to get the best sound quality via bluetooth out of my HD2
More info about the settings:

The XDA tweaks are rubbish and do not work. I currently have a call out with HTC.
I have removed all reg tweaks from my HTC and now can get A2DP working on my parrot ONLY in the following situation:-
(1) Reboot HD2 (hold end key and select off. then switch on)
(2) Allow to connect to Parrott (will connect handsfree first)
(3) Open bluetooth from settings and select stereo audio and select connect.
(4) select handsfree and select disconnect.
(5) Press PLAY on the parrott kit
By doing this I get no skipping at all and the quality is good. I have no tweaks running.
This is obv crap and is why I have been speaking to HTC all week.
Steps 1-5 have to be strictly followed for this to work.
The BT tweaks mentioned on this forum do not work. They only appear to work as you have rebooted. After using the HD2 for a while and then connecting A2DP, skipping will occur again.
Try steps above and it will work.
Interesting! I'll try that on mine. Greenfrog all of those links and bitpool settings relate to the Microsoft Bluetooth stack. However the HD2 uses the Widcomm stack so those registry settings can't be made.
I too am fed up of the bluetooth sound quality. How can they assume we'll be happy with this mediocre sound?! I can't see why with a 1Ghz processor it skips.
Have you guys tried the A2DP with the latest 1.61 ROM? I'm still on 1.43....
When I find my 'goldcard' that I made I'll try it on 1.61 and let you know
We'll get there in the end....this is really my only bugbear with the HD2, so it would be good to get it fixed!!!
There got to be a way!
I, too, am really p***ed off by the bad audio quality i get using stereo blutooth. It's really an issue with the HTC HD2 and apparently no pro reviews pointed it out!!! I use it with the sony DR-50 which are one the best A2DP headphones out there, but the sound is horrible Please help...
I'm too suffering from the A2DP situation...
The Linespeed registry hack helps me on some devices ( HKML\Software\Widcomm\Plugins\AV add DWORD Linespeed with value between 64 and 512, the higher the better sound but higher probabilty for skipping).
With Linespeed = 320 sound is great and I have no skipping with a Sony DR-BT160AS. But: My Motorola S9 badly skips unless I have it very close to the HD2. Linespeed = 256 is working ok with both devices...
BUT:
I also have a blueLino A2DP Receiver which has a bad quality on both settings, at least on some songs. That's really disturbing.
Just a quick update, I've just flashed to 1.61 and it makes no difference. Default A2DP sound quality is unacceptable. Grr

-----------------------------------------------------
Well, first I have to say I don't have the 'skipping' issue at all. I have my HD2 connected via bluetooth to my Pioneer DEH-P7100BT car radio. I have a clear connection when calling, but when playing music via bluetooth, I have the 'hissing' issue.
Next is that I have to admit that when I changed the settings according to my previous solution, did work a little, but not as it supposed to. When I had my previous Touch HD if found a link which worked perferctly for me! When I changed to those settings, the hissing were gone completely and the sound quality improved to CD level. Although, I'm still searching those ones again for my HD2 at the moment....
So, conclusion this far is that it totally depends on the hardware which you are connected to as well.
Regards,
GreenFrog
@Greenfrog:
I guess the bitpool settings which worked well on my HD as well, only work when using the MS Bluetooth stack. The HD2 uses the WIDCOMM Bluetooth stack, I haven't found a noticable difference.
The LineSpeed registry setting does improve overall audio quality, but I still have skipping and playback gaps. Very poor performance for the performance beast the HD2 is. I urge everyone to report this to HTC (I did) - this is really unacceptable.
I will also report this to HTC. I am so frustrated by it tbh
As Moses posted...I had linespeed set up on my TP2 and the sound was great, but now i have no time to test it now, can someone other test regitry key?
Bluetooth settings
Can be found here HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\
A2DP Tweak Provided by R_phAn (Please note this will not work with all devices)
As we know from the past, each device has it's own preferences and capabilities (So you'll have to play around)
Managed to improve soundquality by adding DWORD 'LineSpeed' to HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\AV\ with a value of 320.
it is posted here for TouchPro2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524655
Edit: I tryied it tomorrow morning and it is still the horrible quality, poor music quality and during the call skipping :-/

Okay, thanks a lot for this update! I was really unaware about the different stack, so I don't have to look further for the the previous links anymore... I'll try to add linespeed as well to see if it works with my Pioneer car radio. I hope it will...
There should be an answer for sure for this issue. I also cannot understand why it have to be this difficult. The previous solution did work very well. Why have they changed to the other stack anyway? Does someone know that?
I'm running the 1.48 ROM btw.
GreenFrog
I found one thing, i'm using SPB Radio for online streaming, when im listening in my car streamed radio then the sound quality is excelent...? How is that possible?
That's a very good question.
I experimented a bit with different quality settings during mp3 encoding. I found out that there indeed is a connection between the quality settings of the mp3 file and the badness of the sound quality, at least to a specific degree.
The most important setting seemed to be the stereo setting. If I set a song to "Joint Stereo" its by far better than normal stereo, although not perfect, yet. That's very confusing.
Do you know the settings of the radio channels you can stream with good quality? Maybe that would be worth a test.
--Update--
So I had a predictably useless response from HTC. Namely 'have you tried unpairing and repairing' and 'your device may not be fully compatible, please check our website for a list of compatible devices'.
Useless indeed. Their compatible devices amount to 3 items! The phone is either A2DP or it isn't. There are no compatibility options - it's happening to us all.
So, I haven't mustered up the energy to continue onto the next pointless exchange of basic trial and error possibilities. No doubt their next reply will be "have you tried rebooting the phone"...
Anyway, I digress. I noticed something today. I put on a new album to my SD card and out of nowhere the skipping was worse than ever. Audiomanager is always on the lookout for new songs as you may have realised. When you have music playing, a small circle rotates to show the player is searching. During searches whether or not you've introduced new mp3's to your device, it always makes the skipping far worse. When my circle had come to a stop, then the audio was fine....with very rare pauses and skips.
Still there but much less obvious.
Well that's my latest update and I will continue my investigation. I wonder if this skipping occurs in other music programs? ie wmp or pocket player? Has anyone tried?
Great work, guys. Nice to see a lot of people looking for a solution. I REALLY want to get this A2DP thing working right, it is bugging me a lot, and I'd like it to be fixed when I'm going on vacation (I'll be driving to two straight days, and would love to listen to my own music then). That'll be in about six weeks, so there's still some time left.
I'll try SPB radio myself, see if that causes the same amount of skipping. It could be that it is not the BT link causing the skipping and pauzes, but the audiomanager itself. That would be a bummer, because fixing that is probably way beyond what we can do here, and we'll have to hope for a HTC fix or a custom rom with an older and better working version of the audiomanager.
In my search for possible solutions, I found the priority of the A2DP can be altered. I've added the reg Dword value "Priority256" to HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/BtA2dpSnd, with different values. If the value is too high (150+), nothing changes. Set it too low - I tried 60 - and BlueTooth fails to start altogether. I've now set it 149, and it seemed to work, but haven't done extensive testing to see if the skips/pauzes don't return. Will get back on that.

I've tried PocketMusic, qualitywise no difference. I don't remember if it had the same skipping / pauzes problem, but the problem for me was it doesn't work with the AVRCP, so I can't play/pauze/ff/rew with my remote, and having to use the screen while driving is a pain - I've mounted my device quite high. I was really hoping to use the inbuilt musicplayer

BT HandsFree A2DP sound losses

Hello everybody!
A couple of days before i've bought HD2 (russian, 1.48 FW is flashed by default). Before buying i've tested it for mentioned here bugs with display - none has been found.
Device is really fast, much faster then my Samsung i900. The only one problem is present - bad co-work with bluetooth handsfree Jabra BT530. This has been tested with i900, K750i, iPhone - everything was OK. HD2 has really big problem with it - on any sound event small part in start is missing, it seems BT is connecting with handsfree and this time is skipped.
Using navigation soft is unreal in this case: we can hear just "....eft", "....meters" and so on. But if pause between sound events is smaller than ~5 sec no skipping occurs. Tried to play with WIDCOMM registry tree - no effect, modifying values without right manual is like a "russian roulete".
So, do we have any fix for this bug?
P.S. Sorry for my english.
I've just received answer from HTC. They say (translated):
HTC HD2 hasnt been tested to work with JABRA BT530, so we cant say that phone isn't functioning wrong. Use original HTC hansfree.
This is support for top device with price more than 1000$!!!
