Audio levels on Atom - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General

Hi gang,
I have been a long time Atom user. One thing that has constantly bugged me is the audio level - both in the earpiece and on Bluetooth connection to my car. Recently the IT manager at my work threw me a HTC Touch Dual (Nike) to evaluate for him. The audio (sound) level on both the earpiece and the same Bluetooth connection for the Nike is 100% better. Is there a ROM available that addresses the poor sound on the Atom or is it a restriction based on the hardware ?
I have tried a stack of searches however can't find anything that addresses this specifically ???
Phil...

OK.
Does anyone know of any registry hacks that help with $hitty audio levels for the Atom ???
After may searches there are heaps of people complaining about audio levels - not may solutions though.
Pleaseeeeee help the IT manager will be asking for the Nike back soon....

have you try SRS WOW HD plugin? it will amplify the audio
plus if u still think its soft, use the equalizer to amplify further.

Thanks Tabbe,
Two things looks like I need to upgrade the ROM to WM6.x to use SRS is that right ???
I may not have been clear enough - mainly concerned with audio levels for the phone - first in the earpiece and second for the built in speakers. Will SRS assist for these ???

Poor BT Stereo (A2DP) quality?

I use a no brand Stereo BT headset on the Atom and found the quality is unacceptable poor. I just want to confirm if it's just me or it's a common problem for Atom.
I found the BT stereo quality very poor too. Tried
1. i-Tech S35
2. Gobalsat BT-830 (apart from stop/pause, AVRCP works fine with WM 10)
3. Nokia HS-12W (apart from stop/pause, AVRCP works fine with WM 10)
quality is way worser compared with the original headphone that came with Atom. I read somewhere this was due to the poor audio chipset used in Atom. Any way to fix that?
BTW, all the above 3 Bluetooth stereo headsets have excellent audio output when listening music from PC (using Widcomm 4.0.1.2800).
I believe it was due to the BT version used. I too tried
1. i-Tech R35 (V1.2)
2. Nokia HS-12W (V2.0)
When pairing both of them with Atom, the sound quality is not that good (always got hissing sound). The same applies when I use the i-Tech headset with my 818pro.
On the other hand, when I use the Nokia headset with 818pro (A2DP enabled), the quality becomes quite good (no significant difference from wired headsets). BTW, I think the Moto BT headset supports V2.0 too, and seems ppl around got some good experience with it and 818pro.
As I mainly use my Atom nowadays (my 818pro got the screen misalignment problem unfortunately), I already forgot about BT headsets.
From all you guys comments, I am not alone in having poor A2DP quality. It's a shame for giving out A2DP but unacceptable quality. :evil:
I-tech S35
Thanks so much for that information. I was really tempted to "upgrade" to an Atom from my Mini because the former had the built in bluetooth so it's a good thing to know I shouldn't upgrade because I was really after the A2DP functionality (since I thought the full release a2dp would be much better than the mini's "hacked" a2dp).
Maybe the stack used on the Atom is not that good. Have you tried upgrading the ROM?
[email protected]
what are u guys sayin ?
the quality of A2DP in my Atom (last ROM upgrade) is excellent !
and i do know how to appreciate the quality, cause i came from a V3x (quality was amazing too).
i am using the motorola HT-820.
the sound is much better than my crappy ipod video (to sell if someone interested) :arrow:
to fix ur problems, u should :
1- upgrade to the latest rom.
2- turn the crappy equalizer off (its a really useless feature)
3- when u go to bluetooth settings, hold ur bluetooth device and '' set as wireless stereo''
that may be the key for clearer sound.
also i didnt like the equalizer (am i alone ?) i found that the speakers are worse than ever.
what do u guys think? :arrow:

How's it compared with the using the original headset came with your Atom? For me, bluetooth A2DP is way worse.
I used the same i-Tech clip S35 on XDA 2i, and the A2DP qualitiy is as good as the wired headset came with XDA 2i.
Thanks.
Wired vs Wireless
ok, with the regular wired stereo headset the sound is Ok, but not that good if i compare to my ipod video.
i highly prefer the a2dp system as it seems ur inside a nightclub while using it.
but if i have to choose between the wired headsets or the HT820, i would rather go with the BT headset.
the only thing, is that dangerous for life ? (like getting brain cancer etc... wish not..)
As I mentioned before, I have tested all the combinations for 818pro, Atom (both with latest rom) and two BT headsets i-Tech R35 and Nokia HS-12W, and only found that the BT 2.0 combination, ie, 818pro with HS-12W, produces good enough music quality. For all other combinations, there is always some pretty obvious hizzing sound around when playing a soung. That hizzing sound is not background sound, as it won't appear if I stop playing any song. It only appears when a certain part of a song is played.
It seems to me that the hizzing sound is caused by insufficient bandwidth or over-compression of the data transmission (or both?). This also matches with my test result.
If I am using the 818pro (it is pending for repair), I will surely bring the HS-12W around. Otherwise, I will just stick with my wired adapter + Sony headset.
possible sol guys.
what is that ?
'' MSFP AKU 2.0 ''
it looks like a guy in another forum did an upgrade with this and got a superior sound etc...?

AKU 2.0 comes with support for A2DP.
In the case for XDA Atom, A2DP was supported on the day O2 released Atom.
A2DP quality in Atom was poor regardless of the Rom version, I tried the following roms:
1. 20060123B1WWE
2. Xda-Atom-ENG-20060123_Feb2006_.exe
3. R060221N_MN1ARC_RS00045
4. DSUU_ARC_C060414WWE_R060327N_EX0016__test_only_not_for_sale
5. Xda-Atom-ENG-20060426B1WWE
As described by buruburu, hizzing sound appears when a certain part of a song is played. Turning On/Off the equalizer doesn't seem to have any effect.
When listening the same song using wired headset, the quality was good, so can't be the problem of the song I am listening.
When listening the same Song using my PC (BT 1.2 with Widcomm 4.0.1.2800 stack), the quality was good as well.
So, no problem with the song I am listening, no problem with the BT Stereo headset I am using, no problem with the BT version (1.2 in Atom, 1.2 in PC; don't have BT 2.0, so can't tell) I am using, and my BT headset works fine making/receiving phone calls.
Conclusion:
1. the BT stack in Atom has a problem;
2. the audio chipset in Atom was a cheap and lousy one;
3. my Atom has a problem (I am in UK, don't have another Atom to test)
If it's (1), hope someone can fix it!!![/i]
tcmp
forgot to tell u guys : i get good quality cause i dont use crappy windows media player to play my mp3s, i use TCMP for every file i have.
and it works a charm.
the only thing i dont get, is that sometimes during the song play, it stops for a second then go back to it.
wierd :shock:

Aha! Finally found this topic. I'm on O² Atom + Jabra BT620s. The headset sound quality is superb stable on pc (5mb limit Bluesoil). On Atom... WM10 sounds too low even volume maxed, the equalizer doesn't work on A2DP. The best is on TCPMP where I can blast the pre-amp to make it louder. The quality is "ok²", hisses are seldom but hiccups exists once or twice in wma/mp3 tracks and too bad headset playback function only work on WM10 not TCPMP. And to click my headset when answering calls, I've to set TCPMP not to play on background, after clicking, I've to increase the headset volume.
Does any of you guys who's using other than Atom experience hiccups on A2DP? And those with Atom other than goldsaint? I don't think it's Jabra's but Atom fault itself. I've only SmallMenuPlus and O²Plus running in background (all startup removed), no battery/space monitors on today and overclocked to constant stable 520Mhz with XCPUScalar on the latest firmware. Thank you...
Am using I-Tech Clip S with my ATOM and sound quality is EXcellent!!! No hissing sound at all.
I highly recommend taking a look at the following,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=54621
I had the same complaint, but these registry edits cleared up my quality problems almost entirely.
Tweaked the bitpool settings to 53 but did not recognize any improvement. The other 2 tweaks is useless for me-- whenever i used my I-Tech Clip S BT headset/wireless stereo, can't hear the other callers voice. Streaming audio to my Clip-S is OK but no noticeable difference.
Cheers
I've tried my two bluetooth stereo headset on HP-2210 , DOPOD 818Pro and O2 Atom,one thing is certain,the sound qulilaty in O2 Atom is worst and poor.I consider the problem is ROM Firmware.
Some of the tweaks cause more harm than good
I removed all traces of these tweaks by doing a hard-reset, and my bt stereo is just fine with the occassional break. 8)
IMHO we should not just apply every tweak just because someone posted :twisted: EG some one claims he installed Atom Exec ROM on regular Atom Now he has vamoosed when asked to share. Some one posted a 4-letter word due to the mess he had when he followed that line :twisted:
Not to go against the current trend, but I entered the following into the reg editor and it made a huge improved in the sound quality using the Samsung SBH-100 headphones.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings]
"BitPool"=dword:00000053
"SampleRate"=dword:00044100
Still get the occasional skip but fingers crossed something will come up to fix this soon.

Taskmanager fixes BT Stereo skipping problem!?

I found this tip on another forum.
Try installing this taskmanager, start wmp and then the task manager, close any apps you don't need to use and then set it to monitor system load.
http://www.iaccarino.de/silvio/ppcstuff.htm
No more skipping on my HBH-DS970! Perhaps it works for other stereo headsets to?
I'm listening now with the "Excellent" setting in Hermes Tweaker. Before launching this taskmanager as per above music would skip at least every 20 seconds - not now, no skipping and quite nice audioquality, it's so sweet!
I hope that there might be some clue for you tweaking gurus how to perhaps implement something perhaps in the Hermes Tweaker that does the same thing as running this Taskmanager.
why no body respond to this thread since the whole forum is talking about solving bt stereo skipping problem? And this guy here said this problem is solved. Because nobody believe this is true? i can confirmed this is real. This method really solved the bt skipping problem. so what the hell you all waiting.
Faster download it and update the wiki!!! thanks
You can also use Magic Button...
I've never had a problem with A2DP skipping.

I must say I'm very suprised to at the low interest! Where are the gurus that can figure this out and perhaps use it in the Hermes Tweaker or as a way of finding out how to improve things even further.

I'm sorry but you have misunderstod this thing. I don't need a taskswitcher, but by using it as I mentioned above the probelm with skipping audio that most people experience with stereo bluetooth headsets are gone.
If you never had a problem with stereo audio skipping, what headset are you using? Have you used the Hermes Tweaker to improve the A2DP audio quality? Set it to Excellent and I think you will hear some skipping if you don't run the program mentioned.

Nice to hear it works for you to, great audio! What BT headset are you using?
As a workaround, its a bit kludgy.... What I am doing is researching the reasons why it works as an insight into the root cause. Perhaps that taskmanager's developer could enlighten us as to what he's actually doing to "monitor system load". I might fire him off a message on this ITNF.... If it doesn't slow down the TyTN drastically, I could develop a service that just does this in the background.
At any rate, I'll be loading up the fix today to play around....

Great to hear!!
Tried it, installed the Task Manager, set the BT audio quality to Excellent with the fit4cat Hermes Tweak tool and I still get skipping.
Is there any difference between using Windows Media or PocketMusic to play audio?
I have the Jabra BT620s headset.
Well, this solution does help the skip but does not eliminate it on my iPAQ headset. The problem sounds more like a scratch on a record now than a full breakup and as such is more bearable. Perhaps theres a way to tune this further with A2DP registry settings. I'm running a bitpool of 58 with maxbitpool set to 80 currently.
Damn.... As I was writing this, the skipping just stopped! WTF ????
Maybe A2DP just chose a different bitpool value. Everything's running perfectly now!
edit: the skipping returns when I quit the taskmanager and stops again when I run it so the taskmanager is definitely involved here.

I don't know what bitpool the Hermes Tweaker sets, but setting it to good prouces a lot of hissing sound, going to "Excellent" it sounds very good on the HBH-DS970.
@Moskus: plz elaborate on how you're using magic button to correct the skipping problem? Also, what BT stereo headset are you using?

Yes I did.
I tried plying audio with Windows Media and PocketMusic, both have the same problem. Music plays and at random intervals it drops out (silence, but audio plays) after a few seconds audio resumes.
edit:It does however look like it is skipping less when I use the Task Manager.
What you stop ?
I installed also and i have same skip problem ...
Tell me one think ... after a soft reset, what programs you stop on task manager ?
I stop all prorams but i have a lot in the process tab also.
Can you post your reg values and where in reg must put that values please ?
Thanks
I tried it and I can get no skipping with bitpool set at 48. i cant go higher. This is better than before. But I have another issue. I just upgraded to the 1.35 rom, but b4 i had the cingular. Over the tytn is zippier with the new rom, but in both cases a2dp dies (even with the new kludge) if my maxsupportedbitpool is greater than 30. I presume this limits the bitpool at 30 anyway.
Also it may be me but it seems when i first start p the taskmaster it shows CPU running about 15-20% higher than after a few seconds of running it. Does it somehow kick in some other mode? Finally I guess this makes sense but the CPU works harder with higher rate encoded mp3 files (with 320kbps files it was running at 70-80%, with 192kps files at 50-55%). Does this make sense (I never thought about it b4).
Finally with bitpool set at 30, i can listen to internet radio (virgin UK!!!) over wifi and use bt headphones with no skipping, as long as task manager is running. Could not do that b4. But sound is less than perfect.
No Doubt, it is good discovery, I had Wiki stereo BT headset, It is working perfectly while set Medium, high or excellent in A2DP profile (Fit4Cat) alongwith Task Manager running in background (Minimize), But if I do not start task manager in parallel, The default skipping problem come back.
Basically, My skipping was ok since I bought Nokia HS12w, But Now I am in position to use Wiki stereo HS, as Wiki had long battery life then Nokia. Of course LCD & some other are plus in Nokia HS12W, But LCD does not have major role as Caller ID BT stakes are not working yet. Therefore WiKi is still good Choice if used for stereo MP3.
Thanks . Jompao . to make my stereo BT HS alive. BTW It is observed unmatched stereo Quality if set to excellent (no distortion)

I didn't kill any processes, just shut down tasks Iike active synk or so. I have noticed when playing through speakers CPU load is like 17%, as soon as I turn on bluetooth and headset connects it goes to 100% a second or two then stabilises around 70-80% so you don't want a ton of extra tasks running at the same time.

Did you try to lower the quality setting with Hermes Tweaker or even turn off the A2DP tweak?

p3600 A2dp, crappy sound

The quality of music with A2DP is really bad, have much better sound with my qtek s110 with a2dp hack. I have been using the same sony ericsson ds970. Is there anything that can be done about it?
perhaps you can follow the instruction to turn on the stereo, then the sound will be better.
This is my experience to. I had a SE m600i before and the sound was way much better on that device.
The sound clearly suckes with the headset that is packet with the P3600.
The sound on the S100 was far more better.
Lets just hope the ATi chip get's activated on the rom-update, so that the Graphics and Sound get better.
guys, could you please be more specific? what exactly made you unhappy about the sound produced by HTC Trinity?
please define the problem. is it too soft, too loud, lacking bass or higher frequencies, choppy, etc, etc????
P.S. forget about stock standard wired headset supplied with your Trinity. it's bad.

Guys try using the Hermes Registry Tweaker
I used the hermes registry tweaker to take BT Stereo sound from "Okay" to "Excellent" the tool has five levels of quality as well a tweak to enable true stereo rather than joint stereo.
It worked for me! You can unlock and mount EXTrom too.
http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=3311
It has a desturbing sound on the higher tones and the bas is muffled. I tried the fit4 program and changed to the best quality, it sounded a little bit better but it was hard to hear, beacuse now the music skips even more thnat earlier. You know you ger music for a while, it cuts of for a second and then comes back. Now it does this every 5 seconds.

does not look like the settings gets any gps functionality to be activated besides the settings.
Excellent
Made a big diference on mine too! Nice to know it worked for you.
Try this to disable joint stereo so you get REAL stereo sound, then you will see the difference.

3D surround configuration
On page 78 of Trinity's manual there is an instruction to set the 3D surround configuration at the headset by going to
Start> Settings > Personal > 3D Surround Sound
and enabling surround sound + setting levels.
I simply can't find the "3D surround sound" selection at >Personal tab...
Can someone help me to configure (eventually by using some registry configuration) how to make this command to appear?
Seems to me this could help to improve stereo quality at P3600...

The problem with my new p3600i is that the volume is much too low. With volume control at max setting, I can just hear music in a quiet environment. e.g. an empty room. When there is any background noise, e.g walking along the street, on a train etc, it is almost inaudible. I am mainly listening to classical music, so the dynamic variation is greater than for rock etc., but nevertheless very disappointing.
I am using the supplied headset, but the sound is not loud enough to know what the quality is like.
Are there any setting I haven't found yet? All the talk about changing the ROM sounds like something which might void the warranty
thanks
John
I have used HTC_UseJointStereff.cab and HTweakC, it seems that the sound changes a little, i don't konw which helps, but they help....
Thank you all.

A2DP audio quality

I was wondering if any of you who has access to this device tried to see if it also suffers from high pitched noise like other devices when used with A2DP devices?
Is this using the sandard WM bluetooth stack or have they used an improved one?
Thanks
the Bitpool could be set as high as possible, dont know why MS set the default at very low since many devices support high data streaming.
without tweaking program, average people would think bluetooth quality is poor on this device.
Lurking around for years, I would expect anyone to search and apply suggested fixes in this forum before coming to a conclusion and askind this question.
Actually, I have applied most of those settings in both polaris and diamond. Even yough it is reduced, you still notice the noise during silence. Especially id device volume is lower and receiver volume is higher. This wasn't the case in n95 and SE m600.
Similarly in Vista with built in bluetooth stack there is some noise. Using a different stack such as Widcomm produced totally different results with same receiver.
if it was good in the m600... sony ericsson...
but it's made by HTC so????
Hi all !
I'm looking around for ways to better my audio experiences in A2DP with my HTC Touch Diamond. I keep hearing these high pitched metallic noises, and based on your posts, it could be an issue with Bluetooth stack. Is it the same with Xperia ? I mean, does A2DP sucks ?
These noises are a nightmare... I am using Diamond Tweak for my Diamond, any setting ideas ? Didn't try anythng so far...
Thanks a lot !

Software Equaliser

Can anyone please point me towards a software equaliser that will work on the Touch (Elf) using bluetooth headphones
Many thanks
I dnt think there is a equalizer of tht sort, once i used TCPMP which has a equalizer. try it out.
thanks I will give it a go and report back
There is a eq for HTC Touch.
Its called ' Audio Booster ' made by htc and it is present in the ONYX 4.6 ultimate ROM but it only works for headphones, not speakers.
Thanks.
Thanks for that info Jeremy89632, that sounds a better bet as TCPMP looks a bit problematic and now unsupported.
However as your option means a ROM upgrade I am a little wary as I have never done anything like that. Can you, or anyone else, give me an idiots guide to updating my ROM please.
Audio booster is available by default in Touch..but it works only when a handsfree is connected to the phone..it doesnt work wit BT handsfree. giv it a try.
In regards to rom flashing, read the wiki or jump to elf upgrading section and do a study.
[email protected], I cannot find any equalizer on my touch either with or without BT, so I guess it is only available after the ROM upgrade. I will have a look at the wiki and see if I feel confident to have aa go
Audio poster is present in recent roms and it only work when the device is paired to BT headset or a carkit
there was an old prog called SRS WOW that work on device directly but it has limited functions

I own a Elfin and I do have the audio booster when I bought it. And this doesnt work when using a BT Handsfree. Works only with a wired handsfree.
AFA SRS WOW, it workd gr8 for my music in Elfin, but somehw or othr it played havoc on my in-call volume and ringin volume. So removed it.
music normally cannot be olayed on bluetooth you need a cab called BTaudio
Well, you can upgrade your ROM to the stock ROM if you worry, and if im not wrong, the stock rom contains audio booster.
