Dolby mobile help please - Acer Iconia A500

So. I've noticed that the sound on my tablet seems to acting strange.
If I enable Dolby mobile in the settings while music is playing it sounds quite good. Then when exiting the settings menu Dolby seems to switch off even though its still ticked. Tried different music players.
Hope someone will test this out on there's.
I have searched but couldn't find no info on this
Cheers

Ok so i tested on my girlfriends TAB and hers does not do the same thing.
Sigh!
Well i guess its something to do with been rooted and removing some of the bloatware acer installed. been looking for a reason to install flex anyway
hope this helps someone else in the future.

I'm fully Stock and have the same issue.

i think any dolby software really need DTS hardware to work properly.

I didn't have this issue prior to ICS

I have an odd sound issue.
I was listening to some tunes with my headphones the other week and I seemed a little thin and tinny. Then I got an email notification and suddenly the volume level seemed to drop, but the sound was much fuller with a good base level.
A few nights later.... same thing... WTH ??

Actually if I turn off Dolby and then back on it sounds great..... its like it is not on by default even tho it is checked like it is.

I decided to go custom. A lot less problems so far. Was just a bit of nightmare getting unlocked boot loader but was worth it in the end

why cant acer make a rom like people on here id love to no.

Fixed, disable all sounds and you shouldn't have issues with Dolby EQ
I found a fix for you guys having trouble with the Dolby Equalizer, it turns out the EQ cuts off when you tap the screen and the sound effects are not compatible with Dolby where it's two separate EQ's for music and video, it seems that the treble and bass EQ still work because that EQ is system wide but the problem lies with the preset EQ's for music and video, so if you use the tablet to watch movies or listen to music, disable all the system sound effects such as screen tap sounds, lock sounds and keyboard touch sounds, you can still use vibrate for the keyboard, reply how you made out, but it should work.

Sound too quiet, try this.

Hi all,
I've always felt that when playing music on my DHD that it's too quiet, when I've listened to music through my headphones I would say it's acceptable however when I've plugged my DHD into a HiFi or into my stereo in my car I could crank the volume to full control without it been deafening. I happen to find a fix yesterday by accident, I had my DHD plugged into my car stereo and the phone rang, I pulled the audio cable out and answered the phone, when I was done I put the cable back in and immediately I was like WTF just happened now, the music was much louder than what it was before I answered the phone, I would say it was about 30% louder.
I tested my theory by stopping the music and unplugging the cable, plugged the cable back in and started the music, while it was playing I opened the phone and simply dialled any random number and ended the call immediately, when it went back to the music it was most certainly much louder. I've tried it several times now and every time it makes it much louder than what it was before I make a call, I can now no longer turn the stereo full blast as it is simply too loud, just by turning it up to half way I would say it's the equivalent of what it was before when I had it turned up to the maximum.
I'm using Poweramp and I don't know if it's got anything to do with that, I will test it with the built in music player and see what it does. I originally downloaded Poweramp as I thought that the built in music player may be the problem.
i'll repet what you do and post some results... really want a louder volumen in headphones. I plugged my headphone in a Wildfire and it's incredible louder, no talking about an ipod! last week in a party i was ashamed when my friend put off his $50 cell phone and i plugged mine on stereo, so low volume....
wtf, that's true.. really don't understand what the phone turns on!! probably the same thing that volume boost turns on!!
Aha that actually works

Interesting find.
I've noticed a couple of ROMS which suggest better audio volume by 20%.
For example this one. (Speaker Boost +20%)
So somehow, somewhere the bug or issue has been fixed or improved.

Not really, i'm using that rom right now, and what it makes is improve SPEAKER volume, not from headphone. I made my tests in Android Revolution rom and can confirm that headphone is as quiet as stock rom, and it is improved by the "call trick"!
Thanks for sharing! I was experimenting a bit, and it seems like the simplest way to boost the volume is to make a call while music is already playing. The call MUST connect though, or the volume will revert to normal levels. Tested with Winamp.
Maybe have one of the dev's ask to look into this.
If this is different from the already increased speaker volume output, it probably is a bug that can be fixed / feature that can be 'un-featured'
works fine
I had similar experience with my laptop. When listening a mp3 file, the sound coming out from my laptop seems like no effects, standard sound without bass and treble effect. Have to play a movie file first together and stop the.movie make the song hear with the effect.
I believe this issue coming from my sound driver. Using another OS in same laptop. The sound play normally with no issue.
For our Android, it's about the sound driver too?
well well, i just noticed that in the Android Revolution 4 (leaked gingerbread based), the sound is improved by default, no needing the call workaround, looks like HTC fixed the strange bug for the next version...
i just wanted to share!
edit: if someone could try to confirm it, i'll appreciate! =o)

I had the same problem, go to the Market and download "Volume Ace".
MarkieSA, you're an accident hero.
I noticed sometimes my DHD volume suddenly were loud . If I restart the phone, it will go low . I couldn't find out how to make it loud again until reading your post. I'm using PowerAmp too . I think it plays a role in this case.
Thank you for this great finding.
Really useful little trick for 2.2 users, especially for peeps using stock ROM's without the 20% boost via custom kernels. I had tried some of the volume boost type apps before rooting but all they do is invert the phase of one of the stereo channels. All this does is give you a very tinny mono output which is no use to say the least.

Poweramp hissing noise

Got a question to those who using Poweramp. are you guys hearing static hissing noise while playing mp3 with poweramp? Read it somewhere else said it could be hardware grounding problem, but that's probably wrong because I can't hear the same hiss in the stock music player. But the stock player sound is damn flat when playing music
any help would be appreciated.
I got the same hiss sound in MX Player on one of the custom ICS roms. Can't remember which one. Went back to Stunner.
On any custom rom?

As far as I know hardware and software are the same for every note. So it should be there. Naturally, some people won't notice it. That's just the way it is.
That's total BS. I have never experienced any hissing either with Poweramp or stock player. I think there would a lot of very angry Note users if this was the case. I previously used a Rockboxed 5th gen iPod with an ibasso amp and now use the Note as my primary player as the SQ is so good!

thx for the input guys. problem turn out to be the dspmanager, i totally forgot it is still there in my note, and still activated with it equalizer. I turned that off and it's all good now. Probably that's the reason I am hearing hiss in poweramp but not in stock player.. :x

Never had the first freeze or hiccup from poweramp, either on my xoom or on my note. Listened to music in my truck today for 4 hours straight (car stereo via BT from note) without any glitches, and that has been my experience with PA for over a year now (incl xoom time). Perhaps try uninstall and reinstall, then if that doesn't work look for potentially conflicting apps... don't think PA is the ultimate cause of your issues.

That happens to me too.
Although, it is more random for me. Sometimes it is after 30 minutes of listening.
I get the beeps though.
Also, sometimes it stutters a bit and then beeps and stops.
At first I thought it was my BT headphones not working, but other sounds come through fine, so it's not them.
Sometimes PowerAmp will still show the pause button (ie, it looks like it's still playing), but if you press it, nothing happens. It doesn't change appearance and it doesn't start playing again, no matter how many times you press it.
I have to force close it through the application manager to get work again.
I only just started using PowerAmp about a week ago and bought the full version because I liked the EQ and the appearance on the Note, but I might have to go back to WinAmp.
I'm on the latest stock ROM, with root.

i see you found it was dsp manager...i've noticed it too..but only in certain scenarios....
i get this when i'm plugged into some USB ports to charge on various work laptops and listening to music...and also some power inverters...but this ONLY happens to me at work when I'm using my note in the truck and charging (as the laptops would be plugged into the same inverter I get the hissing/buzzing sound from if I plug directly into the inverter)....
pretty sure it's just bad ground or dirty power in the work trucks though...

@duckettmarc
i haven't experience the closing issue either....i've listened to poweramp for hours on end, hundreds of songs without crashing...where is your media stored? external SD? either way, I would guess either the storage area you have your music in, or your actual music is corrupted....or maybe some instability if overclocked, undervolted, or with the ROM you use...

[Q] Note 3 adapt sound

I have been using my note 3 for the past few days (s800). There is a feature called adapt sound in the audio settings. Once set up the audio is vastly improved on the stock music player compared to 3rd party ones. I tried power amp, double twist, winamp. None of them come close to the extra detail produced by the stock player. Has anyone noticed this? My mp3s are 320 at 44khz.
Further is it worth converting them to 24 bit, 192khz.

I agree. I think Samsung has done well to implement this feature. So far as I know, no smartphone manufacturer cares to customise the sound output to the individual user. I am so rooted to Samsung phones now that I can almost totally neglect the asthetics and only focus on the features. But why no FM?!?!?! That will make a perfect phone. Lol.

Well, to be honest, the build quality of the GN3 is really good. Played with Htc one, Ipone 5. There is nothing that stands out among them except the initial wow factor which is certainly there with the GN3 textured back and overshadowed by the awesome screen.
That feature was included on the S4 too it seems, and I have no idea why they didn't advertise it at all, sounds awesome. Can't wait to try it out with my Shure SE535s.
Seems that adapt sounds creates a customized eq for only the stock music player (there is a whole article on phone arena, Google it) based on your hearing and your headphones. Does the stock music player play flac? I hope so. As for converting your music, its only going to be as good as your source, upscaling won't do anything, maybe add a tiny bit of depth, but it won't be worth the space lost increasing the file size. If your looking for a way to get the most from ripping music directly from CDs, I'd look into flac, or ogg, or if your stuck with mp3 format, the highest quality without making the file size outrageous. Also, if you looking for quality music, get you a pair of good headphones (don't forget to redo adept sound, as it tunes specifically for the headphones you do it with)

Thanks for the link. It seems only the stock player can make use of this. Was trying the stock player and poweramp for a couple of hours trying to figure out how to decide which player to use. (had the paid version of the poweramp and didn't want to lose its customisation and looks). Ended up using the Stock as the sound quality is clearly different and for the better. Will be using mp3s mostly at 320 kbps. As you mentioned the quality is pretty good at this bit rate. The file sizes range 10-15mb per song at most.
Use ATH-M50s for audio. and plan on using the N3 a lot as an Mp3 player
Bluetooth adapt sound
Does adapt sound work with a bluetooth headset on the N3?
catching up with the radio does not only mean you are intended to listen the music only as there is a great variety, of news, facts, debate and communication with the mass set by the radio platform, is of no match ... and someone is saying the radio is dead
I didn't realize it only effected the stock player. I was hoping it would have been good for all players. I rarely use the stock player because I stream everything.

Is there a way to get hold of the EQ settings after running adapt sound? Some file where they are stored, some setting to be able to view it? If so, wr can then duplicate in any EQ software so that it will be usable in any player.. This would be nice.

I wish someone would figure this out. Can't use poweramp unless there is a way to replicate the audio output from stock.
Got a question for you 'audiophile' types. I'm preordering one of these and have read a review on Droid Life that the audio jack volume gets messed up; i.e. will be at a lower volume and suddenly jump up and it varies at times. Have you had this issue at all with the jack?? I use my phone heavily for music through my car and need a working jack. Thanks!
I might have stumbled on a clue towards applying Adapt Sound globally or with different music apps.. I was fiddling around with it the other day, and then I was testing the Samsung music app and Google Play Music. Of course, music played through Play Music did not enable the Adapt Sound.
However, when I was listening to a song in Play Music, I thought I'd open the Samsung music app to try to run a comparison, and as soon as I opened it, it applied the Adapt Sound to the music that was playing through Play Music! It seems that when the Samsung music app opens, it enables the Adapt Sound regardless if it's actually playing anything or not, and simply keeping it open in a second window kept the Adapt Sound enabled! As soon as I closed the Samsung music app, the Adapt Sound was disabled and the sound reverted to the default. Perhaps this may give a clue on how Adapt Sound is applied through the Samsung music app, and perhaps make it possible to make a widget with a button that can enable or disable the Adapt Sound feature.

Hmm. Weird. I'm on the international n9005 with mj1 firmware. I hear a very noticable change in the sound when I perform the test and it makes Play Music sound just as good as the stock Samsung player. Maybe more people can test it and see if it works. Might be different across different ROMs and different versions of the Note 3, specially Exynos vs Snapdragon.

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.

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.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2016) Sound Playback Issue

I have had the tablet for just over a week and although it has some issues it is running ok. The latest issue I have noticed (among others ) is that sometimes when playing music (through any music/video player) I cannot hear anything, it just goes silent (after pressing pause/play)-the music is definitely playing as the progress bar in the music player shows so. Then when tapping the pause/play button all I hear is a ear aching crackle. Does anyone else have this issue? It doesn't happen all the time but occurs on a daily basis. A reboot fixes it (but then it eventually returns again)...
I had the same problem but i got it fixed. Turn off adapt sound. Sound->Soundquality and effects->Adapt Sound->turn off
Is it only when using earphones or also using the internal speakers?
Try pairing it to a Bluetooth speaker or earphone just to make sure that it is a software problem or not.

I haven't noticed it when using the speakers (I rarely use these when listening to music), only with earphones. I don't have any bluetooth speakers. The fact that it works sometimes means it has to be software right? I have noticed several bugs (incl. random reboots-sd card related?), the software is the buggiest I have used in a while, I expected better from Samsung.

I'll see how it goes. I haven't used Xposed (and any modules) for a while now, I don't root my devices anymore-those days are long gone lol.
Disabling the UHQ Upscaler (and all other music enhancements) did nothing unfortunately, I have had enough of this tablet, I will contact the retailer and see what they say.

I ended up returning the tablet, too many issues, incl. random reboots etc... But I got the 7" version instead as it better suits my needs plus costs half the price. :victory:
No bugs or major issues on this one.
