i use sennheiser ie80's iems and the sound is decent on my galaxy nexus phone. I only have to turn the volume up and half way on the phone and on the nexus 7, the sound quality is definetly inferior. Its not a complete dissaster but it would have been nice if it was great. Hopefully someone starts making compatible usb dacs soon that will work with the 7 as i wouldnt mind trying one out..

Looks like the alsa conf file just has to be edited.

I did this once on my Linux box to get my USB Fiio E17 working. Looks to be the same deal. I'll try this once I get time.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sassafras_:
With the right kernel (I can confirm that Trinity works), this will work if you add that bit DanBa posted to the alsa conf file.

Unfortunately, the DAC must be plugged in on boot up and will cause the system to reboot if unplugged.

Hi...

Im new here...but have some guestion ;)

Im thinking to use nexus 7 as audio source and connect it to usb DAC...

Is this posibile ?

If it is,is it posibile to play,flac files, and other high res files (24/96...24/192...)

As I see..in other tread,there is another,unused, usb on nexus 7 mother board whisc could be used to connect more storage...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kejar31:
sound is decent for me with my Grado 325si's which happen to be really picky headphones when it comes to dacs.. also waned to point out that why the Wolfson sounds so great is it also has a decent headphone amp included with it.. If you are trying to push relatively power hungry headphones, say 150~200 ohms or more your experience with this particular headphone out is going to suck.. lucky for me Grado's have a very low ohm / amp requirements ;P

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildestpixel:
Just chip in on an old part of the discussion. Regardless of the PHY used, its specs and the feature set, the way it is implemented is of great importance for overall SNR and driving current (volume). A great deal of real estate on the PCB is needed to be used to put in a good audio solution - a series of pull ups and caps around the Realtek IC that cost more in PCB space than money is required to make the most of the solution. Same goes for if its a Cirrus Logic, Wolfson or Yamaha IC.

For that reason its generally pretty academic as to what solution is in there - there's never the room or desire to tweak it to the max - the target audience in the main won't pay for it or appreciate it.

N7 Sounds Pretty Good on my Sennheiser HD600's

I thought I would have to use my Pro-Ject headphone amp, but the Nexus 7 sounds pretty good directly powering my Sennheiser HD600's, even at about 1/3 to 1/2 volume. Obviously depends on quality of the content... Crappy music sounds crappy!

N7 actually sounds better than my Gen1 iPad via the headphone jack.

I would like to get a line level output via USB to drive my Pro-Ject headphone amp... That is one nice thing about the "line out" connector on the iPad...

But, for just sitting around listening to "good" music, the N7 isn't bad! I like it!

Just need to understand - downsample or not? :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradsh1:
Flat audio isn't everything. On high end stereos this device sounds like crap. The more I've tried to use it the more fed up I am. The THD and dnamic range problems are very audible. If you cant hear them its because of the rest of your equipment; i cant tell the difference between n7 and sensation on my computer speakers but it is night and day in my car or with my home theater setup. It suffices for cheap headphones and that's it.

What I wanted to know

I have a pair of SR-60's and a headphone amp from Headroom so this is the answer I was looking for. I have given up on the holy grail of 24/96 and such audio. I have fooled myself into thinking I could hear the difference. I have great hearing and it just isn't there once I started using flac as a format.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaaa4:
Hi Folks

I read all the posts. Some say that the sound is terrible, other said that is OK. For me, it is terrible (without using any equalizer). I have a simple SONY NWZ-E354 that sound A LOT better than the N7, with earbuds and on my Denon 1312.

My question is : is the new dock from asus, with integrated DAC (probably, because the is a jack on it), better than the N7 DAC?

I want to use my N7 with XBMC and control it by my phone because using my MP3 player is not really handfull.

Anybody has the official dock?

Thanks

Getting a USB DAC (like the Fiio E7) and using OTG is really the way to go, if a bit cumbersome.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolo9393:
Reading many comments and threads about this subject, I was affraid to find something "horrible"; but my first test gave me confidence that the sound without any correction is as good as my Cowon S9 output and better than my Galaxy player 5.0 or my Xperia NEO.

So no question N7 has a good sound output!

Then up to you to correct it as much you want or can! Nothing can replace well set BBE effects at a consumer price.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ucubz:
Agree with you, for me word "horrible" was too much. Nexus 7 sounds good to me with my beyer dt770, wider soundstage than sansa clip+ rockboxed, for sound, I like it sound. Just low at volume without any mod.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oli1122:
I find it pretty terrible even with $300+ headphones but its greatly improved by the Beats+XLOUDER mod and don't get me wrong I hate beats with a passion but this has a great app called rewire pro which helps make the sound much better :p
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMS74:
Apple is way better, and by hardware its not worse its better.

And I can't believe how many compare this n7 sound to cowon or most Wolfsom based
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewlgm:
The nexus 7 is one of the worst devices I've heard in a long time. Plagued by low volume and terrible dynamic range. Either there are different nexus7s or some people just can't hear very well. And I'm not saying this because I'm a snobby audiophile. If you like the sound then you've got a great device on your hands, but the sound is comparable to a certain iPhone 2G made by apple 5 years ago. And the iPhone 2G was no good. It matches the sound on the HTC one X - which is also not good - but it in no way is as good as cowon players, the sansa fuse, or most mp3 players released in the last 6 years. And that's a really bad feature for such a great tablet to have. So far I'm uncertain as if I should keep it or not. I bought 32GB mainly for music, and now I can't bring myself to listen via the nexus 7. Even Bluetooth sounds better than the internal DAC, and that's perhaps the worst praise one can give the nexus 7.

Well i have been a bit of a hi-fi head for a few decades now, so i think i understand the problems and the arguments here.

I have Shure E4's, AKG 450's, Senn px100 and 200 headphones . I have Poweramp as the music player on both my HTC Sensation and my Nexus 7 32gb. I also have a filo E5 headphone amp

In absolute terms, i would say the Nexus 7, through any of my headphones, sounds "pretty good". It is certainly clearer and punchier than my HTC Sensation and i would compare it favourably to my ipod classic.

It isnt outstanding, nor is it dissapointing - it has a punchy, clear output through the headphones with little or no noticable bloat, muddiness or high end sibilance or screech. it has reasonably clear mids and quite a wide soundstage. More importantly, it is quite pleasant to listen to.

For casual listening when on the move, it really isnt bad at all.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yeah that is my feeling. It's Ok, not horrible not great. I kept one of my old phones with the wolfson dac with voodoo sound for when I want good sound. I also have a couple of sansa devices with rockbox.

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 PM ----------

If I HAD to choose between the N7 and my rockboxed clip/fuse for music playback I'd pick the sansa devices. I'd choose them for the crossfeed & quality of the shuffle algorithm alone. But as I said above these days I'm most likely to grab my old Fascinate for music even if I'm on my N7. At 4" it's a nice size for a music player and the wolfson gives it good sound. Now if I could get Rockbox on it. . .

Nexus 7 audio problem [SOLVED]

step 1- flash this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1889522 on your nexus 7

step 2- After flashing, UNINSTALL the app called Noozxoide EIZO-rewire PRO (it is a very buggy sound equalizer)

step 3- Open the Awesome BEATS app and navigate to HEADSET tab

step 4- Enable Dynamic Range Compression and Select Effect Strength Slight

step 5- Enable BEATS Boost and Select Effect Strength Moderate

step 6- Enable BEATS Equalizer and Select BEATS Preset Custom (set the 6 band equalizer as follows from left to right: +0.8,+2.8,+0.1,+0.0,+2.5,+6.3) these are somewhat audiophile settings according to Noozxoide.

step 7- you are done go listen to your music and be amazed! ***********BONUS*************For the ultimate music experience, buy yourself a decent inexpensive Fiio ampilifier and a set of cans no more than 100ish dollars, I highly recommend you check out the Brainwavz HM5 Studio monitor cans, very cheap for a sound signature worth over $400 my music is just godly on my nexus 7. unbelievable if only you guys could listen.

I hope i helped diminish any of this bad reviews the nexus 7 keeps getting. you just need to know what you are doing! :good:

I'm currently using Virtuous affinity xxxPachaxxx Edition. I've tried android revolution and other sense 3.5 roms & kernels but the following issue keeps occurring:

Whenever I select Internet pass-through, the 'choose a connection type' screen reappears after 8-10 seconds and the connection rarely succeeds. Sometimes if I get lucky, it works out of nowhere upon reselecting internet pass-through. It's almost as if the usb connection keeps on getting 'unmounted' for no apparent reason. I think it's an issue with USB connection in general and not restricted to internet pass-through. Sometimes, even the sd-card gets unmounted particularly while checking the card for errors.

Is anyone else facing this problem with sense roms?

P.S. There's no problem with my cord,PC as I tried my friend's unrooted phone with stock ROM and it worked fine.

Hi guys

Sorry if this has been already answered. I tried to search for solution many times and asked in threads of ROM but people give very vague answer. I don't want to risk losing my device and want to stick with easy rooting.

I followed this guide to root my phone: http://androidforums.com/evo-3d-all-things-root/494212-complete-newbies-guide-rooting-flashing-evo-3d-roms-kernels-using-fastboot.html. I installed everything but didn't do S-OFF. One thing I'd like to share is that I did unlocking through HTCdev and also that I run Rogers phone. Currently I'm using kingcobra 2.4 ROM.

So now I wanted to install ICS but I need to install new firmware. I tried to revert back to stock ROM and do ICS update but it'd stop at HTC screen and same thing happened when I tried to install ICS rom.

So I need to install this new firmware for sure, but I have S-ON I think. Now things I need to know and perform I believe are:

S-Off

Install new firmware

-------

Now do I have to do RUU update as well? If so, where do I do that and how do I know what RUU I am running? Also I'm running HBOOT 1.49.0008 because I did unlocking through HTCdev

-------

If I wanted to simply use the Rogers ICS update, how can I get it? Do I still need to S-Off? I did full back up. Please explain very clearly.
[HTC EVO 3D] noahsarky:
you want to go back to stock so you can install the OTA / official ICS rom?

You can dl the RUU from the htc website. Rename it to PC86IMG.zip and let it install in bootloader

Whats the link for it please? I am on Rogers evo 3d

Android Version: 2.3.4

HTC Sense: 3.0

Kernel: Your choice:

"

I chose original kernel, meaning not installing any. I don't think I need stock ruu now do I?
[HTC EVO 3D] terwax:
If someone can find me an easy S-off tutorial, I would be more happy to do that and stick with rooting.

my suggestions are to remove all apps except file manager market launcher and other imp apps required to just run an android then upload a non flashable zip for removed apps so that users can download it and install apps required by them this might free some up(i hope)

bootable sd card can also be a way out
