Inferior Sound Quality on Pandora using Froyo - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I noticed that my sound quality using pandora is miserable. So I looked around and found this here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737111) but it doesnt seem to work for HD2's, at least I couldnt find the mentioned build.prop file.
Anyone else with the same problem?

Anyone used dsp_en on Universal??

Ive left me headphones in work, wondering if this little app has the similar stunning affect to music as it did on WM2003,
anyone tried this? is it good? a definate "shoulda been built in"
just found a old pair of headphones, no difference at all..... oh well

sound quality of g1?

Had my g1 a few days now and have to say its brilliant!
My only gripe and its a big one is the thin tinny sound the device outputs.
I wouldn't mind more bass out of the thing if that's possible,
I can't find an equalizer in music player or settings does one exist?
I've tried market place but coundnt find anythging there either.
Anyone else think this or help?
I find the ringtone abit too quiet.. have been missing calls all weekend, not fun!!!
Coming from the Artemis, this is a very loud fone on full pelt.
I've found myself using the loudest mp3 I could find so's I can hear the phone when its in its case. Let's hope we get a solution either in an update or app?
Cheers

Your correct mate sound is really tinny needs a lot more bass. There isnt a equilizer app at the mo but if i find one will post results up here!!
thanks mate, that would be great!
my solution is to increase or Amplify the mp3 using Audacity.
u can;t increase it too much cause it gets distored but u can test it until it sound decent and loud enough.
i wish they put the speak at the top or something..

[Q] LG G2 Bluetooth audio quality issues

I have the verizon g2 and the bluetooth connects fine and all but sounds bad compaired to other phones even older ones. I guess im just an audiophile but it sounds very cracklie when a song get louder. I know i cant be the only one experiencing this but i have looked and looked and found nothing but great feedback about its sound. Has anyone else experienced this and maybe found a fix?

I see it more with talking on my car's BT than with audio streaming, but so far I am not that impressed with the quality. It works, but isn't all that great.

Yeah thats all im seeing also. But i hope it will change with an update
Using my Motorola Elite Sliver, Bluetooth sound has been just fine. Phone call clarity has been great; significantly better than my DNA.
Posted about this a while back on the Nexus 4 here:

It's -super- irritating, and I believe this is a bug in all recent android versions (after 4.1 I think) with the new bluetooth implementation. I was hoping we'd find a way to 'fix' it in a similar manner, but I have no experience developing for non-nexus devices. I'm glad someone else notices the crackle though, it's annoying to the point where I won't listen to audio over the G2's bluetooth anymore.
Just gonna wake this back up to see if anyone else has any ideas on what we can do here.... this issue blows on newer Android phones and we ought to be able to find a way to fix it ^^

I read through the thread you linked and it looks like you fixed the issue on stock Android ROMs. I have the AT&T D800 running CleanROM XE, also had the issue on stock G2 ROM.
I wanted to offer to test anything you came up with. I connect to a 2011 Hyundai daily and stream Pandora and XiiaLive.
Thanks in advance.
I ran into this as well, although I've only tried Soundcloud, Pandora and Google Music. Pandora is the only app in that list that has issues. Soundcloud and Google sound fine.

I actually found it sounds better on bluetooth than my old Rezound and my wife's DNA do. In wife's car, songs on bluetooth (any app) have an echo/hall effect. The G2 is the first phone that sounds normal with no echo. Plus, the song info is finally displaying properly on the screen. Just wish my car had bluetooth because then I wouldn't have to deal with the thumping sound I hear while plugged in via the aux/headphone jack and changing tracks. I have another thread here regarding the thumping noise.
Enable aptx. Bluetooth had been nice and clear for me even before doing so.

How do you do that? Is there a menu/switch for that?
Prop command in terminal emulator. Is around here on forum in another bt thread. Most variants aren't enabled out of the box. Hell, Verizon didn't even have the logo on the box.

Saw that thread. Figured that if the G2 was already set up for that, then you shouldn't have to go through superuser and ADB to make it work. I mean, if it is an advertised feature then it should be easier to activate. What am I missing here?
I went ahead and enabled aptx a few weeks ago to test it out... either my headunit doesn't support it or it doesn't seem to make much of a difference on my end as I still have the crackly highs as I did before. This was the same issue that I had on my Nexus 4 that I was able to fix by tweaking the sbc bitrate... I'm just not sure how to do that in the source code on this phone. (or if that's even possible here)
Could someone please link the thread to enable aptx? I am unable to find it or how to do it.
Or at least tell us here how to do it?
I am also getting the crackling over bluetooth, when plugged into an aux jack the sound is amazing, over bt not so much. Also track data is really wonky, it rarely works. When the track changes it shows the song info for a split second then says unknown. I've never had a problem with the track data in my car and this is the 4th device I have used in this car. This is a link I ran across for enabling aptx, don't know if it works I'm not rooted yet.

Same problem here, except my car stereo doesn't support aptx.

Just to pitch in -- I get the same crackling on music. Driving me nuts.
When I play music over my car stereo it's great. When I call using sync the person on the other side said it sounds like a whining noise for the entire call. The whining does fluctuate from moderate to extremely loud.

This sounds like a ground issue in your car maybe? Does it change pitch with engine rpm? Mine sounds like when your stereo is up too loud and the bass distorts, except it's only distorting for high's. Much more noticeable when listening to rock or something with a lot of cymbals. Rap/hip hop sounds fine (not really any high's there). Enabling aptx doesn't sound like a solution here, why would enabling a premium sound feature correct this when other devices I have used that don't have aptx sound better than my G2? Not trying to ridicule here just trying to keep the ball rolling. I really believe this is an issue with phone or bt antenna or something.

Call audio only working in one earphone

I recently installed Temasek CM11 build, and have found that when i take a call while using earphones, it barely plays through one of the earphones, almost as if it is mono. But everything else is perfect sound games videos. I have tried searching for similar problems to see if a solution exists, but no luck yet, i cant see anything suggestive in phone settings itself either. Anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

How to fix low mic volume in custom roms?

I would like to preface this by saying I love all the Custom ROM's available, especially the Android 10 ones. But, I've noticed one problem shared by all the ROM's I've tested so far (almost all). It's that the mic quality is simply horrible on every single one of them. The first thing I do when I download a Custom ROM is to test the mic using the Google Recorder app and so far, no custom ROM has even come close the loudness and quality of stock. I wouldn't mind if the mic quality was bad, but that's not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that the mic VOLUME is extremely low. I have to shout while calling just so the other person can hear me. How do I fix this problem? The same problem cropped up a lot on Pie ROM's too. I've tried editing the mixer_paths.xml but I don't really know where to look.
I would greatly appreciate if anyone could help me. Cheers.

Use kernel with mic gain and increase it to your liking.
