Improving mp3 sound quality - S740, S743 General

recently ive been searching through the threads about this topic and i had something like a "sound driver" downladed that should improve the quality of played mp3 files on my phone. sadly, it didnt work on my system.
is there any other way of getting the mp3 quality higher? it really sounds awfull

I don't think it sounds so bad..If you want you can try using "audio booster" (start-multimedia-audio booster) but it works for the headset's sound.

[Q] Sound Quality in TG01

Hi, so my TG01 has really poor sound quality. I mean I have W960i and there music has nice and deep bass and it's nice and loud, and here the bass is like on poor quality video on youtube.. also when I make it lauder it does a lot of clicking on the background.. I tried few player and MortPlayer gives me best sound quality, but summing it, it's still poor If a comapre it to Sonny E.
Maybe it's sound drivers or somethin ? IM TALKING ABOUT SOUND IN HEADPHONES. I'M USING WM 6.5 FFBOYS 1.0.

Yes, sound quality has never been strong side of TG01 but maybe You should consider to utilize WOWHD. It works like some kind of DSP so You should
see any difference.

ok got it, but now gettin a message sain @There is no WOW HD driver loaded. The control panel will now [email protected] how should I fix this ? I duno how to edit the registry btw thx
1. go to your "windows", search the file with "wavedev" as part of name.
2. copy the whole name.
3. go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev] and set the "OldDriver" to STEP 2.
4. reboot.
Firstly I can not find this file, secondly I duno whats hkay_local... and how to access it please explain it to me

The file is probably hidden; you need a File Explorer which is able to 'see' hidden / system files (the native windows explorer in Windows Mobile only shows you ones which do not have the -h (hide) attribute set).
The reference to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (often written in short as HKLM) is a 'Hive Key' in the Registry. This works just like the Registry on a desktop PC and contains all the variable settings for the system and all the applications you have installed. To access this and edit its contents you need a Registry Editor.
One option which does all in one package is the Resco File Explorer (Payware); alternatively you can search on XDA and there are various alternative offerings available with differing capabilities.
Hope that helps clarify....
Back to the original issue behind this, though and I would observe that actually the sound quality out of the TG01 is in fact very good - but you will only hear that with a high bitrate audio source and a decent set of earphones on the end to do it justice, or alternatively by output to a high quality external amplifier via quality screened cable and connectors. The stock earbuds (or similar) will never give you good quality sound. Addition of SRS or equivalent software will only modify the perceived sound, but can never overcome the limitations of such hardware. I've included the spec for my audio setup in my sig below - I'm using .wav encoded audio so it is 1:1 CD quality with no compression whatsoever - as soon as you start using compression (MP3 or similar) the audio quality will be degraded.
well ur answer does not help me. I do use resco explorer.
And how can u say quality is good ? ;d there is a lot of cliping etc quality is so poor that my casete player would give me better output. well I do have good quality headphones pionier make that reatail over pounds. my MP3 files sound awesome on my PC or Sony E. and TG01 just can not handle this level. That's why I'm loooking for anyway to fix this issue and I need this WOWHD as it might help. anyway I got it working but it gives my no audio output 0.- help.
Tried an active set of headphones or a portal headphone amp?
I did not tried amp, but I will no spend any more money for this, jsut want to manage WOWHD to work. I has it working and after editing registry entries my phone does not swich music to headphones, and when answering the phone it can only use speaker, and the micro does not work ;/ too bad help.
Well I just happened to have my headphone cable on me today at work. I have a set of noise cancelling headphones here at work and I don't seem to have a problem with 'clicking' except perhaps between songs when it actually changes track. Whilst not being loud, it sounds ok to me.
Are you using the original headphones that came with the TG01? They suck. Change them for something else and see if that improves things.
Also.. I wonder if the 'radio' version has anything to do with it?
As I said before HEADPHONES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. I USE PIONIEER HDJ1000 AND I WOULD SAY THEY ARE REALLY GOOD. I tried others as well and the best sound i get on pionieer. but it's still not good at all. Bass sounds like a cheap imitation of bass. and as someone said I could cry WOWHD as it worked for few people giving a bit better sound, so jsut want to try it, but can not get it to work, got this frustrating error @ no WOW HD driver loaded .. And i have no idea if radio version has anything to do with it, I hope you guys tell me that Thanks
You could always try another ROM that already includes WOWHD in it? (Look for the MiROM 8 + UPX compression ROM )
I know that's a bit extreme to do, but you have already flashed your phone with FFBoys.. so it shouldn't be that much of an issue. (use PIM Backup to record your contacts first!)
It could just be that the SE phone has better dedicated hardware as many of them seem to be made with music in mind.
Ok downloading new ROM. I have tried many ROM with no change on audio quality I hate Sense but just wanna try this WOWHD software and see if it's worth using, then I'll go back to old FFboy's ROM, and yes I also think that Sonny E. has better hardware as it's Walkman phone, and that's always been known as good thing.

... TG01 with 9,9 mm was for a long time the thinnest smartphone.
....thinnest smartphone= thinnest loudspeaker= poor sound
... but i love it ...
Allegedly Phantasm X3 is the music player that gives the best sound quality on windows mobile, but good luck obtaining a copy even legitmately.
As mentioned, have it might be worth while trying a different 'radio' with the rom, as if it can effect call quality, maybe it can affect sound quality as well. Which country are you in?
I'm from England and I don't really think that where I leave has anything to do with, the quality of sound. The hardware isn't too good it does not support 320 sample rate
But guys I do have sound that can be accepted, it's still not good, but there is not clicking ans stuff. I have installed miRom8 with WOWHD already intergrated.
I will stay with it, because it runs quite smoothly and many functions that are useful. AND MOST IMPORTANT SOUND IS BIT BETTER.
thanks for help
I've tested a lot of Roms and I have a couple of TG01 : Sound quality it's always the same. It's hardware related, not software.
Said this, sound quality it's average. Using device speakers is quite poor (perhaps due to the thickness, as said before) but with headphones it's not bad, even good in my opinion
And if you use a pair of good headphones and SRS HD switched ON, sound it's superb
Instead, nobody says nothing about voice record quality. Its awful, the worst record device I've never heard . Do you agree?
Hi I am new to this forum. I used Touch and Kaiser in the past.
Have been using TG01 for a few weeks and love it.
I am trying to use it as a music player via stereo bluetooth headset, using coreplayer and in mp3 or wma format. The quality of sound is awful. Then I change the music format as flac which is a lossless format and improves the quality a bit. But the human voice is like a digital nature, worse of all, still not much bass. SRS HD helps a bit on the voice, but not the bass (I have to admit my headset is not a very decent one)
Two questions:
1. I understand a quality headset will definitely improve the bass quality, does the bluetooth transmission limit the bitrate or sound frequency?
2. Any recommendation on the tweak, media player or setup?

Try a different music player, S2P is good, and you can use the music player while the screen is locked.
As i said earlier Phantasm is the best audio player available for winmo, but i have never used it.
I don't think SRS WoW HD will really help too much to be honest.

Garbled swirling noise in Video/Audio recordings. Sound like bad compression

I read about the click/pop noise but I dont know if this is related. Mostly the audio track within the video recordings is quite good. But this weird noise I didnt hear really until Im recording whule my car is running. My cars exhaust isnt real loud but it does have more noise and bass than average.... Along with the engine pullies/powet ateering noise. But, what this plays back sounds all swishy and garbled... It sounds like extreme audio compression .. weird electronic noise.. like it totally deforms the sound of the engine. Idk what could be causing this. I also get this noise while recording in voice recorder usibg the AAC LC mode. Sometimes I will heR weird knock sounds ... That I KNOW my car did not make.
I just got this phone a couple weeks vack and I absolutely love it, coming from a Touch Pro 2 with a bad mic... This is the only thing that bugs me because it craps up the audio .. I have an audio sample that you can hear.. Just dont know where to put it.
Thanks in advance..
it encodes audio at 128kbps which is absolute garbage.. that's probably why

Look in the thread "audio recording click/pop". I posted a video in there.
Mods, can you delete this thread? Read what I wrote in the other thread for the reason. Sorry about that.... It was in another forum that I read about the pop/clik issue. Got them confused. Haven't been here in a long while

How to improve sound in CM9 by paulxxx

Hi guys!! I have checked that if i flash the audio beats of this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525208
And it improves the sound quality I invite you to try, for me it works
I hope to be helpfull
For video
Hi! another adjust i found we can improve the video using mx player with codec and playing in software mod, it works perfectly!
Without any unlikely stops!
you can find the player and the codec in the play store
couldn't tell at first until I loaded a song that has a wide range of bass an high notes an there is a improvement. Using my normal ear buds could barely tell the difference got my bigger headphones hooked up an ya the bass is alot clearer an deeper.
Yeaap!

Yeapp!! the improve is not a wonderful fix but when you are listening with a good earphones, or simply you put your music louder it gains
By other way if you have tried the software video in MX player, you would have good results playing videos no? excume for my bad english

Camera tries...
I just try to flash camera libs from other places but it dosen´t work like i guess, anyone of you know a small solve for the camera?
Can't the beats audio included in the rom?
Ask paulxxx for this, he is who should add the libs, but for the continue version, the last version of it, the sound improves greatly.
For the camera we need the adreno200 libs, submit your request for this

Low volume on headset compared to iPhone 4

Was listening to spotify on my brand new S3 and i though the volume was a bit low and the sound was not always 100% clean. I previously had the iphone 4 and the sound of that one is punching compared... Is there something wrong with my S3 or do i need to do something?

Try to see if the equalizer of the GS3 is set to normal or else change it back to normal.
Also, if you want, there are plenty of kernels that offers improvements to sound and boost of volume.
See more of "Siyah kernel" "Francesco Kernel" and "N.E.A.K".
You need to root to flash the kernel.
i haven't had/heard any audio problem in mine S3 compared to the pc sound with headset. (Mac).

Is there an EQ that i can use with the spotify app? I've tried to set the build in music player EQ, but that didnt have any effect on spotify...

[Q] Does such an app/feature exist?

Hello,
Some videos, musics, and radio programs include sections during which the sound suddenly becomes too loud. For example, assume you're listening to a radio program with really quiet vocals. So you would have to increase the volume. But suddenly they start to play some ads or musics with a really loud volume. I need an android app similar to this Windows software that is capable of adjusting the volume dynamically:
trishtech.com/win7/sound_lock_set_maximum_volume_in_windows.php
(Sorry, English is not my native language. I'm just hoping that I could make my point and somebody can help because this is becoming really annoying)
Thank you.
Please someone help me with this! :crying:

Well, maybe my explanation was not clear enough. But I'm pretty sure this webpage has described what I'm looking for very lucidly:
trishtech.com/win7/sound_lock_set_maximum_volume_in_windows.php
It is for Windows though. I'm looking for an alternative for Android.

What you're really looking for is a sound compressor AKA dynamic range compression. This will reduce the range between the loud and quiet sounds so you won't have to adjust the sound constantly when you're switching from quiet vocals to big explosions. Can't say I know any software that does this on Android without rooting, but DSPManager for CM does this.
