There's been talk in a lot of different device forums about DSPManager having no function or constantly force closing. The discussion here will be for sense 3.6/4.0 and ICS 4.0.3
I started a thread HERE on how to get DSPManagers' various functions to work properly but my previous method did not work for sense 3.6 or sense 4.0. Any development or ideas are more than welcome in this thread. I have made progress to a certain point but my inexperience makes it hard for me to pinpoint the cause of certain issues such as the app force closing.
Update 5/6/12
-No app force close selecting any enhancement
-All enhancements function properly
-Only got DSP v1.0 working(not V2)...for now
WARNING - This process will disable all other HTC audio effects (beats, srs, etc.) Other market app equalizers and sound enhancement software also may conflict with DSP so keep that in mind.
Awesome work. Can't wait to install and test.
Tested on MeanROM ICS 0.9. Caused the Music app to not be able to play music (said that the files were not supported). Had to dirty flash ROM to fix.

I had that issue some time ago...for me it was a temporary problem with the music app, when I tracked ahead or went to Library>Song it played my music after that. I don't think that issue is directly related to the files flashed in this .zip

With me, every song I selected did not work. I went into my library and selected different songs and kept getting the file type not supported error (which I normally do not get and did not get after reflashing the ROM).
According to MikeyXDA, global Beats breaks DSP Manager, Volume +, etc.

Also, the other guy above (mozman) seems to be having the same issue I did:

Hope that helps your quest to fix DSP Manager. When I get a chance, I'll try to reflash the DSP Manager zip and do as you suggest.
I'm running cleanrom which doesn't have beats. I warned of other eq's hampering dsp's ability to function properly. I've seen beats work along side dsp but I would attempt to disable any beats audio stuff first then try dsp.

I don't know how to disable Beats (Mikey has not put out a way to disable Beats in his ROM). Thanks for the suggestion about CleanROM. I'm also thinking of trying ViperROM for the same reason. I can use DSP to make a better sound than Beats.

I'm running meanrom. I decided to switch over to it for the dual core tweaks. My zip worked great I listened to my car stereo tonight all the way home bumping. Try a clean install of meanrom then flash the zip and I doubt the same issue will happen.

I've confirmed what you have said about beats and dsp. You must've been talking about using headphones which indeed will cause that error of not playing a file. I use Bluetooth devices so I'm fortunate to not have that issue. Try going into Apps>All and disable Music Enhancer. See if that works.
EDIT - nevermind I didn't have my headphones powered on everything worked fine, you should just try to reflash the Rom then the zip.

I know I'm the only one replying, but I really want DSP to work with Beats like it does on GB. So, I installed MeanROM 1.0 then flashed the zip. Using headphones, press play on song and get the unsupported file error. Select HTC Enhancer, song plays, then select Beats and the song plays, but DSP changes do not make any change to the sound. The app loads and changes can be made, but the sound does not change tone at all. When I try to play the next song, I get the unsupported file type error again and have to go through the above steps.

Your wish is granted my friend. Aamikam released v1.0 of MikVirgin. He was the first dev that I know of to get beats over bluetooth. The changlog states he has working DSPv2 as well!! I'm downloading it now I suggest you try it.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654131
Anyone know if there has been any progress on getting DSP v2 for Sense 3.6 and 4 working?
thanks.. i'm going to try it..
DSPManager2
I experimented and come up with something that works for me. I have evo 3d s-off running viper 3d, it is sense 4.1
I just keep the sound enhancer on beats audio and do my EQ adjusting with DSP manager 2
You can try it and see. Just make a backup before flash!
DSP Manger
You may have to put sound enhancer on no effect for dsp manager2 to work on some roms.
Wow.
I really appreaciate this update. I didn't want to move out from CM by this.
Now I'm running ICS on Inspire4G using Trickdroid, this is the only component that was missing to be happy again!

Thank you! This works great on Mobster Rom HD, 3.6 Sense, but for some reason, I can't mess with the 10hz in the EQ. That happened on my OV as well in ICS.

apparently on some devices it's hardware, some it's software. I got it on my sensation which didn't have it before.
i did try to install the beats music apk, it force closed. beats is a big gimmick. all the htc phones that have beats just have a pre-built equalizer that kicks in when u plug in a pair of beats.
Its gimmicky for sure, but HTC sure paid a hell of a lot for the brand. Maybe that's why they can't get android updates out.

Yeah but I am unable to replicate those audio levels therefore it does make a difference. I like that a professional was able to bottle up a sound quality and deliver it to my alcoholic ears. Maybe it would sound even better with quality hardware but I'll take what I can get.

I have flashed a beatz zip file from Evo3D, but no go.. The quality (EQ) is nice though in my Evo3D.. Maybe we need to check files and tweak it.. have not tested the updated zip..

I tested Beats on the Sensation for a while, but PowerAMP app (2.x) still beats it HTC never confirmed that it was following the hardware recommendations used for example in HP Beats Audio products, so indeed it might all just be software...

Yes it does improve the quality quite a bit imo, I own beats headphones and have tested this feature far too much (with and without beats headphones) on my dhd when we were porting it to Coredroid. Unfortunately, I was too busy with my Flyer at the time so I have no idea how it was done. I do still have the files we were messing with though so I can at least figure out how hard the job would be..
Maybe Lee knows but he seems to be pretty busy already, I'll ask Sergio or Capy about it when I get a chance. Would be nice to have it on these tablets
Sent from my HTC Flyer.
I would love some audio enhancement on the Flyer. I would prefer standalone i.e. Cyanogen DSP vs. one that forces you to use a particular player i.e. PowerAmp.
I agree it would be cool to get this. Not only in the Music app but in the video 1 too if possible. IMO it sounds nice + the beats notification looks awesome
It is going to be a lot harder to get it on the Flyer than phones like Sensation and Evo 3D. The reason is that framework was already built into those phones and it was a just a manner of tweaking the framework for the Beats options to show and work. I have checked the Flyer music framework and none of the Beats stuff is there hidden. So, I am not saying it is impossible but it would take a ton of work.
you can install the Cyanogen DSP Manager / Equalizer from this link. tested and working on rooted GB roms for me.

Hi
Works perfect on my Flyer, thanks 4 sharing.
I noticed the latest version of Google Music will actually integrate with DSP manager if you have it installed. It shows up in the Music settings menu.

I noticed that their is going to be a OTA update for ICS and Sense 3.6 for the amaze. I was wondering is their anyway you can install beats audio on the phone without a custom rom? I think i seen some desire and incredible 2 users doing it but the tread is closed so I couldn't post their. I also seen an inspire user flash it onto his phone on youtube.

You can't. Beats requires specialized libraries that need to be written to the system partition. You don't have access to that unless you're rooted.

Well I am rooted? So what would i need to do. Just curious.
Isn't Beats Audio just another equalizer preset, or does it go beyond that to somehow affect sound in a way the equalizer--or other music player apps for that matter--cannot?
I thought beats was a chip or something lol

I don't know the details of how Beats Audio works, but I have found that the audio experience using Beats has been better than any of the presets on PowerAmp. I realize that you can set custom EQ settings in PowerAmp but that is a major pain in the ass to do.
The only problem I've been having with Beats in QS 3.0.0 is that the headphone buttons don't work properly. I can pause only. Prev/Next track by long press or by double or triple press results in my phone redialing the last number dialed. Don't know if that's a Beats thing or a ROM thing.
I am running the latest CM9 by Jokersax (0.5.0). I noticed that the DSP manager is not working with music players (I've tried PowerAmp, Winamp, Double Twist, 3) other than the stock Music app. The the AROMA installer by Jokersax has the option of adding the MIUI music app but even that does not work with DSP. DSP worked nicely with all of the above music players on CM7.
I've seen similar issues being raised with CM9 rom on other devices too, but from what I've read it would appear that this is both device and rom specific issue.
Can anyone confirm that this happens on their CM9 build too? Anyone found a way to get DSP to work on non stock music app?
I also tried using the DSP Manager on CM9, but using Turl1's build. Didn't work, at all, tried a few different things for it, such as wiping, flashing the ROM again, switching through a few different ROMs and back to CM9. I eventually installed Volume+ and that worked just fine. I was more looking for something similar to the Beats Audio that I had installed a while back on CM7, since I don't really feel like messing with an equalizer/I'm too lazy to figure it out. With Beats Audio the sound from my phone through headphones and through my car were much better than with Volume+, as it seemed to balance out the audio. I would look into Volume+ if you want an equalizer for CM9, it's pretty comprehensive.

Hi there.
How to manage DSP on Cianogen 9 ROM?
I tried DSP manager and Awesome Beats but they don't work...
Tks!!
DSP Manager works fine for me as long as I'm running CM9 kernel. If you use another kernel chances are it won't work unless it's supported on the kernel side. If you're using Siyah, don't expect CM9 DSP Manager to work anytime soon; Gokhan is too busy to get it working.
Edit - If you're using a music app with it's own EQ/plugins, you probably won't notice DSP Manager unless you have EQ set to flat & any settings which 'colour' the music off.
Further edit - With Beats, I doubt you'll notice DSP Manager no matter what you do given how ridiculously bassy they are.
I'm using CM9 ROM and it doesn't work...

try clearing data/cache of that app and see if it wrk's
Already done, no luck for me...
Just use fe. PowerAMP for music and/or Equalizer for overall eq...
Got them, but i can say the result will never be like using the DSP, dynamics and frequency range are so much limited...
Rubbish. Clean your ears out.
Poweramp's EQ & other settings you can use to colour music are much better than DSP Manager. And get some decent headphones as well, that might help
Dear, I've been using Poweramp and Equalizer for years.
1st there's no compression, and compression is mandatory to get something good off the worst yamaha this mobile integrates.
Then, all effect are not so deep like with DSP, it seems that DSP uses some hardware aids.
I use Bose in-ear, except for low frequencies they're not so bad...
Common sense says if you have a problem with CM9, you ask in the CM9 discussion thread. But if you want to sit in this thread & hope someone comes along & helps you with a problem that seems to be only happening for you, be my guest.

can yu please explain what yu meant by ''dsp using hardware aids '' ??
I mean hardware DSP...
I've tried many different dspmanager apks and libs and never managed to get any working apart from DSP Manager V1 which if I remember correctly was included in the release candidates of CM9. That still works if you take the apk from one of the RC builds and overwrite the one in CM9.1 and possibly other CM9 related ROMs.
A better solution though was to flash this instead - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709497
Even though this is for a different model of phone, it gives you the latest version of DSP Manager on CM9.1 on the SGSII and it works perfectly.
Give it a try but remember...do a backup first before flashing!
Are there any that'll work with beats audio? I know about Noozxoide but it doesn't work with the stock HTC Music app. Anyone know of any that can be flashed and used?
Thanks
I have used Equalizer and Equalizer FX with Beats Audio turned on with the stock music app. However after the JB update any third party equalizer I used gave me crap loads of issues with my phone for some reason. Reboots, force closes, tons of lag, skipping audio, losing voice dialing, etc.. I eventually downloaded PowerAmp. Poweramp kicks the $h1+ out of the stock music app in functionality and ease of use and Beats Audio quality any day. Especially since HTC decided to take about 7-10 equalizer settings away from us 3 or 4 OTA updates ago. I also think there is a Musicbox file you can flash on the forums somewhere. It was baked into MeanBean for a little while. It gave us back all the eq's HTC took away plus a few other added in.
