ASUS is using a 'static' version of that processing system - it only reloads at boot. Sorry guys. There's an interactive version with various UI and import/export features too - but generally it's only active during development/QA - at retail it is often locked-out.

Nice find on that typo - now I have to go debugging :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] andrew2511:
the right vibrates too but applying the fix the left back cover will vibrate more and more than the right one. so balancing the speakers, the left having the same volume of right seems to be stressed much more

tested on iron maiden :p
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] voyagerfan99:
Did method 1 with Root Explorer. Sounds a lot better now my TF101. Sound was too loud from right and too quiet from left.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] SiNJiN76:
Hmmm...could it be that Asus fixed this issue in ICS? That's what it's sounding like...although a little bit more tweak would help.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] deadman3000:
I don't think so. Also they are incredibly quiet since ICS.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] SiNJiN76:
You are right. I usually have at volume at half...and thought it was petty loud for half...then I checked and it was at full. Ha ha ha

Swyped from my Nexus Uno
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] DarkLG:
I'm on ics(not rooted) and my left speaker is quiet and my right I can't even hear anything out of it lol :/.Can this fix be done without root?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ckuke4:
looks like ICS intro's a new file srs_processing_TF300T.cfg

Do we need to edit this file now instead of the old one?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] SiNJiN76:
Unfortunately...replacing a system file requires root.

All I did was use the same file I used on HC, rebooted and it worked.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] DarkLG:
Thanks I'll just wait until their's a root method or(very unlikely) asus fixes it themselves >.> lol
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] stuff:
I think the balance is OK, left speaker is definitely a tad louder than the right speaker.

I'm listening to music via Pandora app to test it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] linuques:
Funny thing. I think the ICS update fixed for me. Balance seems ok.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] SiNJiN76:
Yeah...it was better than on HC...but when I put the modified file back in...it was noticeably better...then again...I didn't use the OP's mod...I used a user's mod somewhere in the first few pages...which has a bit less bass...it also sounds more centered...whereas ICS still leaned towards the right speaker being a tad tad bit louder. But...eh...if it's good enough...:D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kdog78:
Thanks. This has worked out great!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] habylab:
On ICS with these tweaks, I sometimes don't get any sound?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] reckless_t:
Sorry, I haven't been on in a while... I would tweak the second set of numbers for the lbands, raise them up just a little bit and test to see which gives the best result.

Side note, I use Poweramp for music which provides a balance option (original settings recommended were made without using this). You may try it out and adjust the balance to the left a hair and see if that helps too.

Question for those who've experienced the issue...

I've sent my unit in to ASUS for repair on this issue and they are saying the speakers are fine and the issue (as some have mentioned) is related to the case/bezel setup. Keep in mind I'm not satisfied with this answer and am still working with them. However, curiosity is getting the better of me now as I have recently handled a refurbished and new TF101 and neither have this issue. The only difference is these were both 16GB models where as I have the 32 GB. I know this difference in itself should have no effect, but wondering if there was something different in the production of the 2 models that may have resulted in the problem.

Which model do you have, 16 GB or 32GB?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Lizzo:
:eek: OMG!!! i have the 32gig model, and i DO have this issue!...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Xyphoid:
I have the 32GB version. And in my case (pun intended) it's a hardware problem. See Post #172

Oh, and I have the B60 version.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rev1775:
I have the 16gig model and a recent one at that and my left speaker is noticeably weaker than the right one. So in my case the issue is still there...

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] metaldood:
Yes same here! Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] tltb26:

Excellent work for me too .. but I heard my tft left speaker is louder then right now ... How come ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] batjuh:
As my balance of the speakers is just fine i thought lets have a look at mine file and how its looks

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/507/screenshot2012071421000.jpg/

As i never edited a thing to the file i saw that the zero's suppose to be there as you can see band 0 left speaker has 5 and so has band 0 right speaker

And the same goed for band 2 left speaker have 6 and also band 2 right speaker has 6

However i think it isn't of any influence on such low value !
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Jamesyboy:
Another happy customer. Thanks a bunch!!! It makes me sick that ASUS didn't simple fix this. We've proved its a simple edit that would take one man an hour or so to make. What a friggin' joke.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Jamesyboy:
By the way, I used the same values that are floating around in this thread--and they sound.... DEAD equal.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] batjuh:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us

As i mentioned allready asus didn't make a mistake with the zero's because they suppose to be like in the picture 5 , 6 , 5 , 6
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kommodore44:
maybe my speaker is just broken / defective but how do i know if i have a dud or not, ive played with most of the fixes in this one but to no avail
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bosert:
didn t work for me. the sound is still louder on the left speaker.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
The physical Right speaker in my TF101 was dead, nothing to do with the SRS config file, I had to buy a new set of speakers to get them both working
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Jamesyboy:
And??????

Whether it was intentional or not, it was screwed up. I never said anything about intent.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] batjuh:
Did i say anything about you saying it was intentionally. I only noticed that in my transformer i didn't changed a thing and there suppose to be 5 or 6 zero's wriiten at the values in that file! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dulcedosa:
I had to amend Step 2 of the ADB method so that I mounted /system in read-write mode in order to write the file.

Can the same method used to increase the internal volume be used to boost the volume of the external speakers?

Thanks for this! Just got my TF and thought it was just me! LOL!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Hammerfest:
Right, so I have the reverse issue...

Currently, using the latest ARHD, I modified the portion using the posted tidbit above, however, just like with stock ARHD, my left speaker is so loud its distored, and my right speaker is SO much lower its almost unheard (expecially vs the left speaker)!

Can someone help me to modify it to make both sides even? Obviously using the code provided a few posts ago making the right speaker louder and evening the left speaker to match?

Its a bit confusing for me for the +/- and drastic differences...

Thanks for any help I can get
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] deadman3000:
This fix no longer works for me since Prime (Now on Team EOS JB 4.2.1).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] htchd2fix:
thanx so much....

i tought it was a problem with my tablet only...

the i ran in this post and locked at my config. i noticed that

in the left band and in the right band ALSO was and extra digit.

i removed the extra zero from both saved with file explorer

and wow now i have a new tablet

i con not beleive the difference

loud and perfectly balanced

i didnt change any of the value....just removed the zeros

thanx

I am currently running CM9. I am unable to find the srs_process.cfg file. Specifically, the system/data directory doesn't exist. Any help?

same on cm10. I can only assume this fix does not apply to CM*
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Tortel1210:
Thanks for this!

When I was trying to fix it last week, I was playing with the 3rd number for each of those settings, and it wasnt doing too much.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] verkion:
3rd number is the "Q" which changes the "span" of the filter, i.e. how much of the frequency band is covered.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] verkion:
Hrm...this got me thinking. There are some developer build dumps of the Transformer right? Do any of them have the SRS driver/tools that allows for dynamic changing of the settings?

verkion
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] freeza:
Good question! You're referring to the Froyo builds right?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] verkion:
You betcha...I don't have the skills to look through those but if someone does...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] deadman3000:
Please help a n00b. Do I 'have' to have my TF rooted in order to apply this fix? Is there no app or even something I can load from SD to fix this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] verkion:
I suppose someone could make a package that is flashable from CWM. Problem is, as Freeza and I keep pointing out, it requires some tweaking for each individual user.

BTW, here's a tip for everyone to try out. In the Internal Speaker Boosted section, set the "hlimit_skip" to 0. I just realized this is doing a hard limit = clipping. As far as I can see, there's no setting to specify the clipping limit, or at least I haven't found it yet. I think its set to clip WAY too early.

Additional tip, in the same section, try reducing the INPUT gain "hlimit_igain" and then compensate by adjusting "hlimit_boost" up a bit. I think the signal is getting "clipped" on the way in which, once amplified, makes everything just sound worse.

Last thing for the adventurous, you'll notice at the top of the file "trumedia_enable" is OFF at the moment. Toggle it on, the preset is set to WOWHD Music Internal and mess around with the "WOWHD - Music Internal" section to increase the soundstage.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] deadman3000:
Anyone....?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Nope. You have to be rooted.

Sent from my rooted and overclocked Transformer on Prime v1.4
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] deadman3000:
How do I root 3.1 or is there not a version for 3.1 yet? The rooting guide only seems to indicate that it supports 3.0. Sorry if I am being dense.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] GibMcFragger:
You have to be rooted BEFORE flashing to 3.1 I think.

I believe you have to flash back to 3.01, root, install CWM then you can flash Prime 1.4 (recommended) which is already rooted.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Shawn_230:
Fear not, there is a guide for just your situation.

It's a common issue because people get their tablets and upgrade to 3.1, and then they come here and find out they can't root it and need to downgrade to 3.0.1.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] GeminiRx:
I am unable to get rw permission for the specific folder.

Anyone else had this problem?

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] branshaw09:
Thanks for the fix! Worked great! The only thing now is that the left speaker seems a little distorted. Any concern or fix for that?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] verkion:
As I already mentioned...freeza maybe put this in your 1st post, turn off the Hard Limiting in the Internal Speaker Boosted section by setting:

hlimit_skip to 0 instead of 1.

This gave me a little more "headroom" before distortion became unbearable. A hard limiter is a CLIPPING filter...it just "snips the sound" when it goes over a preset value instead of trying to "scale down the volume."

Thanks!

verkion
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] marinierb:
Seems to me that the values that should be changed are the gain (the second in each row), not the CF values (the first in each row). Gain is volume. You need to increase the volume on the left side. I increased the gain on mine by 9 for all four values and got great results.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] branshaw09:
Thanks for the input. I saw that and my setting is already set at 0. I didnt make any change to it, that is the way it was. My hlimit_skip under Internal Speaker Limiter is set at 1 though. Thoughts?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
Thank you for this post. one question, does this file need to be push again everytime we flash new rom?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] verkion:
That's what I mean, there are two hlimit_skips...set both to 0.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] verkion:
CF = center frequency. You can change that to adjust the "center frequency" of the filter. This is a parametric EQ which means there are 3 parameters that are defined. The center frequency of the filter, the gain of said filter, and the span which is what the last number "Q" controls.

Any one know if ASUS are aware of this problem and the fix,not that confident at altering file stuff so hopeing for a update or flashable file to fix it

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] deadman3000:
I have been in touch with Asus support. They replied telling me it must be a hardware fault and to return it to the retailer. I replied informing them of this thread and supplied a link explaining that there is a typo in the audio configuration file. It was sent last thing Friday so they probably won't see it until Monday at the earliest. I asked them to inform their tech team to sort it out.

I'll let you know what they say (Probably some BS reply knowing how support works).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] verkion:
It's hardware or else "software" that is inaccessible to us. There is no way there is such a large discrepancy in the speaker outputs unless:

a) speaker issues (i.e. bad batch)

b) issue with amplifier gains for each channel (could be anything from wrong value cap/resistors to incorrect programming which we don't have access to

c) super, piss poor design match on left/right side of the case, which doesn't appear to be the case when I took it apart.

I forgot to test it out last time I took it apart, but I was going to disconnect the speakers and run a test tone through each just to check if it was the speaker itself or the various driver/processing circuits.

verkion
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] deadman3000:
If you do take it apart again please do the test and let us know the results.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] deadman3000:
OK guys check this out. I have a Logitech Z305 USB soundbar I use with my laptop. See here it has glowing reviews and I can attest to those reviews. It's awesome! On my laptop.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-98...KBBK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1307933165&sr=8-1

I plugged it into the TF dock. Guess what? It recognizes it! Yes! Well. That is until you play any sound on it. They sound AWFUL! No balls to it whatsoever. I know for a fact they sound ballsy and fabulous on the laptop. But on the TF they are a little better better than the built in speakers. They also sound distorted and dare I say it. Right sided? WHY IS THIS SO??? I made sure the PSU was plugged in to make sure they were getting enough juice. Something is awry with the TF's sound management.

EDIT: I made a mistake guys. It's not using the soundbar from the USB port. The light comes on but no sound comes from the speakers. However the soundbar also has a line in so I took the headphone out to the line in and all is much better. I used Volume+ and pumped everything as far as it will go. Still not fantastic but MUCH better than the puny built in speakers.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frosty5689:
At this point, it is probably a hardware issue. If you enable the option that turns TruEQ off (any of the left/right band eq settings won't affect how the speakers perform) AKA native volume and band spectrum, you'll hear the right side being MUCH MUCH louder.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Shawn_230:
I'm confused, so is the fix on page 1 good to do or not?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Hatman41:
Thanks Freeza...I used your settings and now my sound is how it should be :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
Copy your original file and save it. Play around with the numbers till you feel

it's to your liking.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Shawn_230:
I know, but others are insisting that it's a hardware issue.

If it is then I don't want to mess around with that stuff in case I might need to return or RMA.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Itaintrite:
This is a software fix, and it will work. It's like those L/R balance setting on your computer. It will work, but it could still be a hardware issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Hatman41:
I used the same settings that Feeza used and it fixed the issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
Doesn't hurt to try, if after you change the file and think it's a hardware issue

you can put your original file back in and RMA it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] deadman3000:
Hi I installed the new rooted Prime 1.4 but I still cannot edit or push the file. It says read only error. Nevermind it allowed it this time. It sounds SOOOOOO much better! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] freeza:
I've been playing around with it a bit more and will probably updated my edited fix with my current. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] GeminiRx:
I used the file from freeza and the left speaker is much better now, perhaps even a bid louder then the one on the right.

There is however some clipping on the left side, wil need to turn down the gain a bit.

Not sure what I did not to be honest. I went and installed Busybox for one thing. Tried to edit it in a file manager and save but it would not allow that. Then tried the push again and then it just worked. Sorry I can't be more helpfull than that.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Digiguest:
That did it. Thanks!!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] deadman3000:
My left speaker has completely died. Is there anything software that can cause it or is it really hardware? I will have to RMA it if it is really dead. It was working with the hack but now I get nothing from the left speaker. Either there is a loose connection or the speaker itself has blown. Come to think of it I can't see how any software would do it unless there is a bug in the OS itself.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] joeboyc2:
Hi Guys , I've just been through the process or rooting my device to apply the the fix but unfortunately its not worked, looks like its RMA time for me.

Quick question just to confirm something:

When I go to /system/data/ are there only two files in there? I only see these two files:

srs_processing_JN101.cf and srs_processing.cfg. Should there be other files in there?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
Press and hold the srs_processing.cfg until a screen pop up and you chose edit text file or something liek that
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fone_fanatic:
Thank you! makes more sense to increase the gain so i added 9 and now my left one is louder than the right haha. so i did it by upping the values by 6 and now it sounds level!

I downloaded Sound Meter on my streak and put it up to each speaker. Now my left is reading 79-82 db and right one 80-83, pretty damn close!

Also i removed the 0 in the one that had six instead of five like the others.

here is what my values look like:

srs_spk_int:trueq_lband0 =	900.000000,-3.000000,0.700000	// TruEQ Left Band 0 Tuning (CF Gain Q) -
srs_spk_int:trueq_lband1 =	11000.000000,12.000000,0.500000	// TruEQ Left Band 1 Tuning -
srs_spk_int:trueq_lband2 =	400.000000,9.000000,0.700000	// TruEQ Left Band 2 Tuning -
srs_spk_int:trueq_lband3 =	2500.000000,-3.000000,0.700000	// TruEQ Left Band 3 Tuning -
