Hi.
I have a strange problem with MP3 playback with some songs; when listen on headphones, everything is fine, but when I listen on speaker, some songs are missing vocals; you can hear just instruments, and veeerrryyy faintly vocals; like they are in other room. But when I connect headphones, that same song sounds OK. And I have that issue with just few songs; others sound OK on speaker and headphones, and they work fine on computer.
I have tried with stock player and winamp, but i got same problem on both of them.
Wow. You have a one of a kind karaoke phone ! Sell it to someone in Japan and buy 10 new phones. Other then that I have no idea except install a different Rom to rule out software problem

Hehe; it would be nice if there was a switch to turn this on or off and if it will work on all songs Then it will be nice feature
I didn't change my firmware, so I still have 2.1 stock JM1. And this problem was present from first day, but I didn't care about it, because it was present only on two songs that I have.

Would the Motorola HT820 headphones work on Trinity?
They're working fine for me; the only tweak I did was to disable the JointStereo so I have proper stereo audio - there are a million threads about that around here, it's in the registry.
I have the SYN0948D model of the HT820, which I think is the newest, for previous ones there's a flash firmware update that may fix some skipping.
oh! Mind answering some questions for me?
How are they for music? Sound good? Any major problems? I use TCPMP for music.... will the controls work that are on the headphones themselves? How about the battery life (of the phone and the headphones?).
It seems the headphones also have a mic? Does that work with the phone?
Id appreciate if you could answer these for me... thanks!
The sound quality for music is certainly not what I'd call perfect.
Put it this way: I attached them using the supplied 2.5 -> 3.5 mil connector to my high-end audio card in my PC, and they sounded pretty good for headphones of their size.
However, when running over Bluetooth there is a noticeable drop in audio fidelity. I don't know whether to attribute that to the Trinity or to the headphones, but I suspect the Trinity. Maybe it's downmixing the audio?
There is a lot of A2DP tweaking you can do to find the best balance between audio quality and skipping/reception; I left it fairly close to the defaults for now, and I'll probably play with it more later.
The mic works with the phone and the audio quality for voice calling is outstanding. It sure makes a difference to hear a person in both ears - when I use them I almost never have to ask a person to repeat themselves. I haven't heard what anyone else sounds like when calling from the Ht820s, but friends say that they can hear a slight echo depending on the room I'm in. Makes sense because the room I usually call from is a smallish office/den with wood floors and lots of echoes.
I am going to fire up TCPMP right now to try to play a song with it. I've been using PocketMusic but it sucks balls...
Plays the song just fine, but it doesn't seem to support the next/prev track buttons at all. I tried to map them in the Hot Keys section, no dice.
PocketMusic and WMP both seem to work with the buttons, for what that's worth.
If you need anything else, just PM me like last time.
Yah I tried pocketmusic... it blows. I use tcpmp for everything. I suppose I can just use the controls on the phone itself.
I currently use the shure buds.... I hope Im not too used to the great quality ive been getting on them.
I have noticed that after switching to the Dopod test rom with GPS, the quality of the sound I got from my mp3's was severely degraded. It had a nice deep bass quality on the old HTC rom when plugged into the aux input on my car stereo. Now on the new rom it sounds like all the low register sounds have been cut out and it sounds really tinny and hollow.
The only other thing I could think of is that I got one of the HTC Y cables for allowing charging and audio out at the same time. I don't know what to blame since I used the new rom and the new cable at the same time.
Could anyone tell me if it is more likely a problem with the rom (is anyone else on the Dopod test rom noticing this) or maybe a connection problem caused by the new Y cable? (it fit rather tight on first plug in)
Any thoughts are much appreciated. Even if it's just to say that you sound quality is fine with the new rom. Regards.
same problem
after one week of nice using of the new GPS activated ROM , yesterday evening I noticed the same .
Using my bluetooth stereo headset , I noticed that really the quality has been degraded in comparison with the performance with the origina HTC ROM.
I hope that the next new rom upgrade will fix this point !!!
Thanks tower. At least I know I'm not going crazy!
Anyone else? Maybe you haven't checked yet...
Bump
This is a pretty big issue as far as I can see! Anybody? I've added a poll...
I agree.
I used the new Dopod ROM with GPS (1.23.707.4).
the sound is completely lacking bass for mp3. it sounds like tin can.
My previous ROM (french 1.15.406.2) was much better in this aspect.
I am thinking downgrading because of that but I would like to keep the GPS so I am wondering if Dopod ROM 1.23.707.2 is OK with mp3.
I also have to add that m4a files (aac) are OK. Plenty of bass for them.
It is strange because if something was wrong with codec only media player would be affected by the problem. tcpmp, coreplayer use their own codec. but yet the problem is also there.
I downgraded to 1.23.707.2.
mp3 problem is still there.
It seems to be less obvious though. But maybe it's just me trying to find differences...
I will use aac (sound is perfect with it) until problem is fixed
I will try to export registry settings and compare with original ROM.
You should add a different poll:
If mp3 quality is indeed degraded, would you choose GPS over better MP3 quality or the opposite?
what happen with the last "test rom"
did naybody test the audio performances of the last " new test GPS rom" ?
is it nice as the "original HTC ROM " ?

I converted a couple of my tracks with deeper bass to aac so I could test this theory and found no appreciable difference in quality. It doesn't even sound like the bass is present at all! Maybe I'm doing something wrong with my encoding...but I don't think so. Crossing my fingers for an eventual HTC fix...then this device would be truely perfect IMHO.
@meroupow: Thanks for the suggestion anyway!!!
Just flashed the final Dopod ROM 1.23.707.6.
Still the same problem with mp3 and DIVX files (as sound is mp3...).
Also I am sure that m4a files are fine. I used itunes to convert mp3 and the resulted file has got normal bass and is perfectly fine.
Also for video I use MP4 ASP IPOD profile and the sound is OK.
So I can listen to music and watch videos.
Therefore I will keep the ROM with GPS.
Also I noticed that the sound is much more stronger with the Dopod ROM than my original french ROM.
Here in europe there are laws for music players to limit the max level of sound.
I am very glad to see it's only controlled by software by HTC.
For Ipods I think it's controlled at hardware level and there is nothing to do...
@ meroupow
I used dbpoweramp to convert my mp3's to aac (m4a), and got no results. I will try iTunes and see if I get any better results. At least I'll know that I did the same thing you did! I am really jealous...I can't even stand listening on my car stereo anymore - I just get really pissed and shut it off!
But I wouldn't give up the GPS for it - and I don't think I should have to!
By the way, I also flashed to the Dopod ROM 1.23.707.6.
ok now I find no bass at all even with aac...
I use version 1.23.707.6.
I have been messing a lot this week end with ROMs (1.23.707.4 then 2 then 6) and I started to encode aac a lot because it was fine.
And now I am completely unable to get the bass back.
I am not even sure when I lost it.
It maybe a soft I installed or something in the extended ROM.
Maybe I will try a hard reset with soft reset to prevent ext ROM to install...
No luck with iTunes either. I am as "bassless" as most of my wife's arguments!
Come on HTC...get that new rom ready!
Did anyone try to alter the registry yet? I noticed some bass-keys that are set to 0:
HKCU\ControlPanel\AudioAdvContrl\Bass : 0
HKCU\ControlPanel\AudioAdvContrl\SuperBass : 0
HKCU\ControlPanel\AudioAdvContrl\Treble : 0
HKCU\ControlPanel\AudioAdvContrl\ToneEnable : 1
Maybe these help?

Thanks for looking these up, oVan. I'll give this a try to see if it helps. I'll also temporarily roll back to the HTC ROM to check these settings for comparison.

I'll be interested in your results! I had a couple of seconds at work to mess with these values, and indeed they seemed to make some sort of audio difference. I'd love to be able to copy the values from the original HTC rom, but I thought I read that I wouldn't be able to roll back even to check them because the bootloader version on the Dopod rom is now too high (I paid for the CID unlock). Maybe I misunderstood. I wish you success and anxiously await the results!!

I still have the original ROM and these registry values are the same as you have now.
but maybe the old rom ignored them and the new rom uses them
Yes, the old ROM has the exact same values. Has anyone tried changing these values with any promising results?
Ok, I got my bass back with aac and ROM 1.23.707.6.
You have to use windows media player. ;-)
Windows media player for pocket pc only played mp3 and wma before but for trinity they added support for mp4 asp and aac for video recording through ATI imageon encoder/decoder.
Thus I think when sound goes through imageon it is not degraded.
only uses imageon for video and aac is bassless.
same for mortplayer and all other softwares.
Somebody can confirm wmp+aac is working?
Hi
I have been having a weird problem with the touch HD. After I installed pocket music player 5.1 I noticed that the palyer is not working correctly.
When I listen to music I notice that I hear a small gap or click in the song barely unoticeable, but to me its annoying. I store the music files on the external sd card. Also the sound quality really sucks from the hd compared to other mobile devices.
Then after playing some time I get a weird message that there is a error message ( audiomanager.exe ) encountered a problem.
Well Please tell me what might be the source of error with the pocket music player. And why do I get error messages.
Is there a better player than pocket music and gives great sound.
I don't like the music player that comes with touch hd, it does not sound that good either.
I kept getting that error with the TouchFlo musicplayer. I seem to have narrowed it down to the mps tags. I removed the track no and any comments and now have no problems.
For playback, are you talking about headphones or speaker ?
Have you installed th SD tune up prog ?
I have now installed the tune up prog.
I will test it now, but I mean that the lag in sound was when I connected the headphones.
What do u think of the sound quality ? I really am not impressed.
Is it cause of the pocket music player, or is there any other good music player

I find my iphone headphones fine but my B&O do highlight problems (but they do on anything), overall I find it fine. You can adjust the sound to suit using the audio booster. Theres lots of different settings to tune the music.
I think is a common problem I have a few friends including me facing this problem ' skip gap within the song. We all using many brand of headphone to test it still having same problem (Audio-Techic, CrossRoads, Jays, etc). Anyone have any idea to how solve it? Thanks....
hi, i searched forum but there seems to be no other with this specific problem...
i´m using my Jade as MP3 player, and there is annoying gaps during playback... not between the songs, but during the song. seems to happen once at 10 mins or so. First i´ve been thinking of broken phone connector, ´cause it´s just like bad contact or broken cable... but it happens even with playback on system speaker too. Until today, i have been using bluetooth stereophones, and didn´t noticed this, after my BT deadset died, i´ve bought Porta Pro wired headphones and here my problem starts. MP3´s are played from 8GB SDHC Kingston class6, have 39MB free storage and 71MB free ram. Can´t do hard reset, too much apps i need almost daily. BTW, i´m using Jade to record audio too, with external mic, for work-in-progress recordings while training with band.
There are no gaps in recordings, works just fine. Only this MP3 playback...
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry, I thought, I don´t have this problem with the actual ROM, but this is not right.
Many of the HTC Devices have this Problem and you can hear it in many Devices very good, but in my Jade this MP3 skip it´s very minimal, but there it IS a skip :-( (**** happens)
For many Devices -Diamond, Touch HD, Touch Pro, ... - give it a Hotfix from April 2009 but nothing for the Jade .... :-(((((
thanks for reply, no one else having this problem ?
This thing is realy annoying me, this device is my only music player available...
strange that it never happened via AD2P/BT...
In Kaiser/Tilt section, there´s thread about the same, only fix seems to be flashing another ROM/radio, so please could anyone post their configuration and how their mp3 playback works? I have stock ROM.
I confirm so music skips sometimes. Very annoying thing. Any fix would be greatly appreciated.
I reported this problem long time ago. It is very annoying.
One would think that with the technology as it is playing mp3 files should not be a problem, but on Jade it is.

Hey guys
I already stated my problem in the slimbean ROM thread:
IchStelleDummeFragen said:
Sound works fine from the speakers, but via headphones it sounds like only a few "layers" of the song are played, dont know how do describe it. In some songs you cant hear the voices or instruments are missing. Tried different players (stock, gmusic, poweramp) and headphones, problem is still existing. Not sure if its because of the Rom but i cant see any other thing causing something like this.

I'll try to describe the problem more detailed:
First of all the sound via headphones is pretty quiet and sounds strange, especially in music with electronic elements.
Its like some "layers" aren't played. Result is some instruments or the voices are not existent or so quiet you can't even hear them.
As already stated I tried several headphones and players, nothing is working....
The same music files are working perfectly on my sgs 1 or my PC, so they can't be the problem.
Im not using any further mods except SMS/MMS.
Could it be a hardware defect?
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 7
Went to this ROM, problem is still there
help me please.
Now on paranoid android without any mods, did a full wipe and everything, still this bug...
Hardware defect?!
back to stock - working perfectly fine
seriously - wtf?
no idea what went wrong, maybe a fail while flashing or something...
this just sucks because i want a custom rom...
I was going to say thew headphone output on the N7 is pretty good aside from the annoying noises in quiet passages caused by CPU scaling (?). I even run no eq with my TDK BA100s, unlike my HOX which sounds like a crappy transistor radio. Damn you, hTC...
