Audio Manager + Audio Booster? What's the deal?

Hello All,
Just got the Sprint Touch yesterday and was surprised and saddened to find out that my faithful HTC Audio Manager was missing from the OEM ROM.
I knew it was on here, grabbed the Audio Manager and Audio Booster, installed them and low-and-behold, I can't seem to use check the Equalizer box in the Audio Booster; kinda ruining all my music.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
Matt
I've tried the booster on other devices, really never saw a change in the sound, so personally I think it is a waste. I have yet to see anyone mention using it and working.
That's the crazy thing, man.
I was using it all the time on my S730; and it works, and works well.
However, when I install the duo on my Touch, it doesn't work. This is a massive disappointment.
I've tested the following players and am having some trouble finding one with an effective EQ that is as stable (no or minimal skipping):
MortPlayer (EQ is straight shait, UI {playlist, song management} is awful)
WMP (No EQ, skips probably every time I gain or lose coverage)
S2P (depends on the same API as WMP, no EQ)
In the case that audio manager + audio booster doesn't work:
1) Is there a ROM that actually contains the two that works?
2) Can someone recommend a player with good file management and an EQ?
Thanks!
Matt
I purchased the CorePlayer, and it has an awesome equalizer with it. TCPMP (the early build) has it too, but probably not as great. I purchased it direct for about $25. It's not the best audio player, as far as GUI, but it does support bluetooth functions. I use it for all my movies, tv shows, flash videos, and occasionally music.

I use that, and it sounds great with S2P

[CM12.1] [GT-I9301I] External Speakers

Hey everyone! I tried to find it in all threads, including Google search but didn't find anything so it was :
I want to play my music which is stored in android Internal Storage via USB because my Radio/mp3/SD/mmc player doesn't support bluetooth. I connected my USB with music player and my smartphone. But my player says "no USB connection" the player is connected with target (speakers)...
I just wanted to listen music a bit louder
Is there an app or something that could make my day? I'll be waiting for an answer as long as you need
Try viper4android or Dolby atmos or maxxaudio, all works great for our device. Even when greater combined.
I am using my home HI-FI
it works great

Best Music Player for regular flac files, not high res?

What do people think is the best music player for the V20 for regular flac files, not high res? And do you use special settings?
PowerAmp

Any particular settings you prefer on PowerAmp? Like DVC, resampler etc?
So I compared Poweramp (With SoX resampler enabled) with the LG Music App, playing Dire Straits "The man's too strong" and the music sounded clearer and fuller with the LG App (44 KHz 1469 KBPS). I ended up enabling Direct Volume Control on PowerAmp and that improved it.
I do have DVC selected for headphone and BT. Crossfade @ 3000ms and gapless. The equalizer and preamp settings work great. I also save preset equalizer settings for use depending on what vehicle I am driving. I only use wired connections as I can't stand the sound quality of ANY audio player using BT.
If your download and store your music locally from Amazon it will find it(No player can access cloud to my knowledge.). It does not work with downloaded Google Play music in my experience due to the unconventional file naming Google uses(I havent tried lately though.)
I've been using the paid version of PowerAmp since my HTC Evo. Its worth every penny. I have yet to find a better app for music.
Neutron is good it processes the music at 64 bit if you enable it.
Also if you have the v10 dac fix on Google play the dac will work with all apps not just lg

I just thought I'd mention it but I personally like the layout of PlayerPro a little better than PowerAmp, I bought them both years ago and I think it's well worth having both of them but I'm not an audiophile by any stretch though either.
I have a question about the v10 dac fix if you wouldn't mind because I'm still confused about it, I was under the impression that if you have a higher end set of headphones or earphones it should kick in the dac no matter what music player you use, so I guess that's incorrect then? Also are there any visual clues that the dac is working? And what exactly is causing the volume controls to switch where it says "HI-FI"? I thought that meant dac was enabled and if so that happens whenever I plug in my headphones no matter what music player I'm using even though I've never installed the v10 dac fix?

Question about music app

Hello,
I own a LG Q8 (a V20 European version)
I have these needs.
1) Listen to music on the phone through
2) Send music to the external DAC via USB port otg
3) Listen to music on a hard disk connected to the router via wifi via the phone.
What app allows me to do all these things without losing quality?
I currently use the LG application to listen to music from the phone
and to send the music on the phone to the DAC exsternal
And use VLC to listen to HD music on wifi
But I would like to unify things and then VLC does not let me see the covers of the albums
sorry for my english but i translated it with Google translate )

you arent losing any sound quality. but from your setup, phone->external DAC via OTG you were losing our phone Quad Dac feature i didnt say it was bad, since there are many external DAC over there and some of them perform better and the other were.. not too much different than our phone. if you using external dac via OTG, no matter phone you use, all the sound quality/character would be based on your external DAC spesification. but if you use 3.5mm jack to external DAC your music files would be process by v20's quad dac then transfered to external DAC ( its still debatable tough, for some people it makes no different but the other said it's better depends on your ext Dac and audio filess you playing)
yes but you did not answer my question
I would like to know the best app available on the phone's non-root store to listen to on the phone and read on external dac.
I should also have the ability to read an HD on the NAS!
