Did you guys notice that the sound quality in htc audio output when we listen to music is almost without the bass even with bass boost or audio booster,at first i thought that it was due to lack of good audio player so i tried Pocket tunes and coreplayer but both didn't give any improvement ,its like you are listening to music with the twitter and without the bass,i tried increasing the audio quality but in vain ..its like almost horrible when it comes to audio music but pocket tunes and coreplayer in palmOS treo sounds very good with the volumes care software and even without it,the bass that it gives is almost like live..Then again I thought that it was the headset that is giving me the problem but when I listen to FM radio the sound quality is just superb so obviously its not the headset or the hardware but the audio codec that are used in the music player so I thought it will be better if there were a software like Volume care for Diamond ..i think that will do the trick.I will very thankful if any one can suggest me a way to improve the bad bassless sound quality either by enhancing software or another music player
DId you try adjusting the equalizer in the other audio software?
Are you referring to the old audio player bug where you would hear no bass at all when headphones were plugged in whilst audio booser was enabled?
Funny you should mention the FM radio sound being superb as I struggle to hear anything as the volume is too low
Yes I have tried the equalizer with full bass boost and custom mode and even volume boost feature available in pocket tunes ..there is a huge difference in FM Radio sound quality and the audio player sound quality,former gives the live like sound quality and latter is like i said its listening to twitter despite the fact that the ear piece is HTC original from the box and another thing ..don't you have the same problem?? or is it my HTC only..have you notice the FM radio and audio player sound difference..in FM radio the drum and the bass are thumping sound and very good but in audio player the drum sounds like a distance can cover banging and no bass at all(in the ear piece).

By old audio player bug means what?i don't understand.. Is there a new audio player upgrade available..if their is a new audio upgrade which solve these problems then can you point me to the right direction..your FM radio sound is too low mine is perfectly OK ..might be due to poor signal..and besides i have mention its not only the internal audio player but coreplayer and pocket tunes 4.1 too
Problem solved Did hardSPL and Radio upgrade but I think it wasn't by this coz it had nothing to do with sound quality ..may be all i needed was a hard reset which was done automatically when hard SPL upgrade was done..thanks to all
Is there a tool to reduce bass ? I have Audio Booster, but people says it has bug...so is there different tool ?
I got coreplayer, but there is no way to reduce bass in equalizer..Thanks

Hi
I've experienced something similar:
Tinny sound (no bass) hard reset everything fine.
Restore my SPB clone (push mail, all my apps) tinny sound again.
Interstingly, calls via the headset are lovely and bassy but any audio application playing files sounds really tinny and quiet.
I suspect the new version of Schapps advanced config myself as it seems to have started around the time I installed it and made my first change of some of the settings.
QUESTION: What settings in Schapps advanced config or Diamond Tweaks might I have missed? Are there any registry keys that I can delete to restore all the sound to default?
Yours

"People of Judea, Wome is your fwiend"
there's a work around for this that involves
Plugging in your headphones (vital!)
Closing Windows Media (or any other player)
Going to Audio Booster
Turn off Audio Booster
Start player - sound back to normal (sourced from Modaco)
Yours
Leon
When I use an equalizer for example the one in Pocket Player I often get distorted/crackling sound in my headphones as if they couldn't handle the frequency although I know they can. I never get this with audio booster even though I have the same settings in both equalizers. Anyone knows what the problem is, some kind of bug? I want to use audio booster but the damn thing just stops working when the screen turns off.
Has anyone got any tricks for boosting the media playback volume?
I commute so spend the trip watching movies etc. I am using Rockplayer which plays everything I throw at it however the volume is not quite there. Its about 1/2 of what I expect.
Options are
Way to boost the base system volume?
A different media player which has audio booster. (CorePlayer does)
External app to improve things? Sound booster?
Get quality headphones. 30$ will get you good ones at best buy. My Hd2 with android sounds low but when i plug in those sound proof headphones, i hear nothing except for the phone and loud too.
Has anyone run into an issue with Dolby Atoms where the EQ changes presets on its own? I listen to podcasts and set the EQ to "Voice" but whenever the audio pauses (notification, voice-to-text, pausing the playback) it always switches back to "Music". It's even done it while I was on the app.
Edit:
I've also had the EQ shut itself off after no audio had been played for awhile. Is this a power saving "feature"?
The issue was caused by a conflict between the Dolby app and n7 music player which wad talked about in another thread.
First I need to add that I find the so much advertised two DACs of the Axon very highly exaggerated in terms of power. They are just too weak, even compared to my previous Note 3, both on headphones and speakers.
Second, they seem to not be able to be effectively used on almost any app since 98% of apps do not utilise them by default and one cannot change it.
If you tweak Dolby Atmos a bit you can get it to amplify the general audio output, both on speakers and headphones, and this is why I use it predominantly. I am on the B09 update on A2017G and it is still very buggy. No matter what setting I choose, i.e. Music, Voice, Game, Custom, when I leave the Dolby Atmos screen it drops sound for a second and always resets to Movie, no matter what. Also the sound regularly interrupts, especially when unlocking screen or doing things in the background, or just on its own.
What annoys me most however from when I bought the phone is that at very low or low volume (only on speakers), when there is speach or the music starts, there is some kind of hissing, ss/sh-ing sound corresponding to the words said or the tiny beats of the music played. It's like a background noise added on purpose simultaneously with special, mostly high frequencies, i.e. words, tiny/starting percussions or similar, no matter the Dolby Atmos setting. This noise stays apparently at all times, it just is not heard when more, mostly low and middle frequencies get in. This "noise" is not available when no Dolby Atmos is used, however the volume then drops by a few levels down. Good or bad, Atmos also adds some spatial effect to the sound, which is why I like it for...
Does anyone of you, an A2017G or A2017U user, observe similar behaviour on your device? Is Dolby Atmos working better for you, i.e. unconditionally steady settings, no low volume added speakers noise, no sound interruptions?
I also noticed browsers do not get use of the DACs/Dolby Atmos, i.e. YouTube, online videos, many video players. My favourite before Aimp was unable to do so also so I had to transfer to Jet Audio and PlayerPro, both of which can work with the Dolby.
Why did ZTE add (two) DACs when they couldn't be used by 95% of the apps and games by default and even manually, also there seems to be no gain in output at all? Was this the case with the Lenovo Phab2 Pro's Dolby Atmos? For the "regulated hiss" (not present on headphones at all) I cannot currently watch any movies on the phone with Dolby Atmos enabled, unless at very high speakers volume. It hisses so badly every time a word is pronounced or some subtle 'invisible' sound plays. The same is with playing music...
I dont use Dolby when I listen to music - it makes everything so much worse and much quieter. Listening to flacs on stock music player with Super HiFi on. No hisses on low or high sound levels. Silence is silent. as for speakers - no hiss also.
ZTE did not add 2 DACs for music, 1 is for music other one is for audio recording which is records at 128kbps. and quality.. I dunno it's quite clear, I had recorded a room full of people, with two girls singing and some people chatting in backgroud and I can hear everything. but sound itself if on the lower end, girls vocals are lower than they are, everything seems shifted to lower sound spectrum.
Tooks some time and checked spectrum of that sound file 50-2000Hz. everything over 2kHz is just a noise.
and a little edit: it records nothing less than 50Hz - total silence there.
The stock player is OK but it's lacking on features, also not sure if it can play video.
I have noticed the low volume speakers "noise" with Dolby on when watching movies using almost any player - VLC, BS, MX and more. If I go above 30-40% volume it seems to disappear, but more like you don't hear it and it stays. I say "noise" but it is like a hissing/ss-ing sound added to sole frequences only, i.e. speech only or single instruments. When more frequencies get in, you don't hear it. Weird these don't exist at all with the Snapdragon amplifier, i.e. when Dolby is off.
https://community.zteusa.com/thread/12853, here is a similar thread in the ZTE USA community. I believe it has something to do with the Axon's own amp or its software and happens at low volume only. There was a thread in Reddit exactly about what I am reporting but I can't find it now.
If you go to your phone's Music\Settings\Dolby Atmos app, then move all sliders up you will notice that it significantly increases the overall volume when Dolby is on. So it's not low, if you change it, it boosts up the volume by at least 30%. On another note, the Axon's mic recording quality is quite poor/muffled, even compared to the old Note 3, hopefully they will improve it at least a bit by some future update.
I bought the A7 exclusively for its audio capabilities so am disappointed that I have to report insufficiencies in this exact area.
Does your Dolby Atmos set itself to Movie only if you exit the Music app? Are there any drops in sound when it's on and you do something in the background?
There are two DACs. "AKM AK4961 DSP CODEC, which can be considered the primary chipset for Hi-Fi audio playback and recording. The AKM AK4490EN DAC is an independent Hi-Fi audio sampler". So AK4961 works in standard mode and AK4490EN in Super mode. ADC is only in AK4961.
You can consider rooting your device and install ViperFX or the whole A.R.I.S.E. sound system. That will solve all the problems with sound output. However the sound recording filtering is surprising, leaving only the vocal spectrum is not normal. There should be a setting somewhere.
I have the Chinese A2017 model running Oreo & have just noticed this hissing sound which can be heard at lower volumes when I keep speakers close to my ear. I don't hear any hissing sound using headphones. I wonder if it's always been there or it's a hardware/software issue. I'm probably gonna hard reset the phone to see if it goes away. Anyone could fix it?
