I decided to start this thread just because there is one think that is very important for me. It is music quality. As I noticed, there are some differences in audio quality between ROMs. For example for me CM9 plays much worse than stock ICS (both tested on Poweramp player).
Do you have any suggestions which ROM for Galaxy S2 has the best music quality? Or maybe you have some nice configuration for SGS2 that sounds better than others?
What a pity that Samsung built a Yamaha sound chip in this phone. That one made by Wolfson which is installed in SGS, SGS3 and iPhone's is much better...
Want better sound quality on cm9 and cm10

I'll try when I flash CM9. After doing it, is it better than on the stock ROM?

I've noticed that the volume on a lot of stock ROMs is low, the quality differs per Rom.
But with a custom ROM like CM9 there are a lot of ways to change it to your likings, e.g. adjusting the music volume. And use mp3's of reasonable quality. Setting high volume on low bitrate mp3's sounds like crap...
So just perform a nandroid backup and try flashing a CM9 or CM10 ROM. Can't hurt to try...

The best sound I got was using PlayerPro + DSP package on any rom ...

Have tested on both devices so thought just in case no one has seen this sweetness
Maybe some Rom will do this along with Sony Cam patch ;-)
Read developers op before you flash and have fun they're 3 different files to flash so read and see which one works for you.
The beats logo won't show nor will you see and equalizer option you will however hear the difference!

Is this working on ICS?
Update:
Link for file in OP does mention it working on all versions, including ICS.
I flashed it on ICS and there are no apps or icons but I think its working, music sounds good anyway.
Yes it works on ics and its still beta so no icons or "proof" but I can tell you I can tell a big difference!

Installed on my A500 no problem, had to use the newest zip to get it though. Helped the sound quite a bit.
Quick question...did you install it on your Inspire too? And did it work?

Does this MOD work through the speakers of the a500 or do you need headphones in order to hear the difference? I'm kind of confused aren't beats audio headphones?

No, Beats headphones really have nothing to do with it for the most part. They may be more tailored to it, but overall sound quality should be improved with a good headset.
Nothing can improve the sound quality from the stock speakers
Except an "audio out" port
No luck installing
I downloaded the zip, but it wouldn't flash in CWM so I tried to extract it manually using root explorer. Then I did a reboot and fixed permissions, only to find out that my music player stopped playing almost all of my files (only 2 albums out of my ~1800 songs played) on Google Play Music. I ensured all the files were copied properly, rebooted to recovery and fixed permissions again, this time I got stuck in a boot loop. Ended up re-flashing my ROM and setting up everything again. Pretty sure I did something wrong, but I have no clue what. Judging from some of the responses in the main thread, it doesn't seem like it works anyway... Oh well, I'll stick with Dolby Advanced Audio for now..

My R11.5 special edition will have this beats audio mod and the bravia engine patch build in.
Got it running on my tab now for testing.
Just don't know which I should pick , I got the sgs20317 build in now and runs and installs fine.
EDIT
After some more testing I'm not building in the beats audio mod as it breaks musicFX equalizer in play music app.

Yea I think its been discussed in the original thread. Where some users experience broken equalizers on some media players. Have you tried the one not made for the sgs2? Like the test version or stable beta?
I will look and test the newer versions as I never tested them except on my phone awhile back no longer needed it due to my phone has beats included.

So lately I've been alternating a lot between Gingerbread with Sense and Ics with AOKP. Apart from the obvious performance ICS has over GB&Sense, the Sense builds excel in one thing and that's music sound quality. It's not even the Beats audio thing because even in builds with no Beats, the sound quality in Sense builds is SO much better, it's really annoying to use ICS. The music isn't just bass-less, but even high tones sound crackled and bad under the same speakers/headphones they sound REALLY good at on Sense builds.
What causes this? Could this be the infamous Bravia engine I've seen touted about on the forum?
If so, is it portable to ICS?
If not, is there any solution for the poor music quality under ICS?

I've notice the same thing. with Ics rom when its loud sounds like the music its damaged. With GB plays great

Tried flashing Beats Audio, never could get it to work.
As for the other replies - are you guys suggesting this is the player app's fault rather than the actual kernel?

For me dsp manager with some settings(i don't remember, i'm on sense 3.5) works fine but i agree with you that sense roms are the best in audio (loud and great bass)
As U All Know That Our S2(GT-I9100)Sound Quality is Not that much good As Other Devices HAve
We have Working DSPmanager In Both CM9/CM10 Roms But IF We Enable Bass Boost and Increase A Volume Little Bit The Sound Starts Distorting(I dontknow Word For it)
So Here Is My Settings And Apps To get Better SOund IN CM10/Cm9 Roms
I Like CM10 Rom More IN Terms Of Its SOund Quality
What U Need Is
1.Cm10/Cm9 Rom
2.Siyah 4.1.x + Kernel Link
3.Jetaudio app Link
4.Poweramp App Link
5.xxtweaker App by Fluxi Link
6.A Good Pair Of Earphones
After Installation Of All Above Things Do SAme AS I say
1.Open Jetaudio Play Any Song
Minimize it
2. Open Dsp manager And Setup BassBoost And Equalizer
Now U Will Here Dspmanager Bass And Eq Difference
3.Open Power Amp Go To Its Settings->Advance Audio Settings
Untick Direct Volume Control
4.Now Manage Its Equalizer (You Can Set According To You)
Play Any SOng Now DSPMANAGER WILL WORK WITH POWERAMP ALSO:angel::angel:
Now Open xxtweaker App i know Its Not Supported By SIyah Kernel just Open It
Cancel The Prompt
Goto Sound and Vibration Then Sound Settings
And Increment The Values AS Shown Above You can increment according to u also but dont change too much in Digital audio values
AFTER ALL THESE THINGS U WILL GET BETTER SOUND QUALITY WITH DSPMANAGER IN HIGH VOLUMES ALSO

Is it okay to use Apollo? or do i have to be Jetaudio to have all those awesome config?

awesome config btw, loving the beats :good:
Really, really helpful! Thanks heaps, bro! This entire article is extremely effective for improving your sound quality, especially the part with xxTweaker. Here is a custom EQ preset made by me for pumping out the maximum possible bass without sacrificing mids and lows:
