Any news from you Zero? :)
[HTC One X] :
Hey guys!

Have been experiencing quite a bit of battery drain listening to podcasts and music lately. Was wondering if that might have anything to do with all the custom libs and upsampeling this mod does, or if it's something kernel related.

Cheers,

-Mark
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
it's because of those upsampling things etc ;) that's normal...
[HTC One X] :
Thanks, guess i'll stick to stock beats audio then. Went on a 2 hour walk yesterday while listening to the Rooster teeth podcast, and it drained 30%! I wasn't even streaming it either! Stock beats sounds good enough anyway
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
LOL but so much this mod isnt taking...maybr Bad Audio Files on phonr so Media Server Stucks at searching or so...use on pc an mp3 File checker and Check the Audio Files on your phone maybe there are some Bad Files...it never drained For me in qbout 2-3 hours over 20% depends also on Kernel you use

[HTC One X] ZeroInfinity:
I haven't been in my HOX for ages now but I don't think it will drain battery that much. Besides, since you are the only one having this problem, something on your phone is causing battery drain. Did you have battery drain without this mod?

Not even my Xperia z is having this much battery drain and media server is always above 15%!
[HTC One X] aliko007:
Exactly :highfive:

Something must've gone wrong then, i'll do some troubleshooting and see if it persists!
[HTC One X] rohitbalan:
Zero,

I've been a great fan of your work and was using your sound mods earlier (before you left XDA). I wanted to try out PureXAudio, so I'm now using a compatible SENSE rom (Blade Elite). I installed PXA Remixed yesterday night, after selecting STOCK audio in Lyapota mod. Some of my observations:

1. Sound quality has improved a lot when compared to ViperX without PXA

2. I can't select ClearAudio+ for some reason. Whenever I select it from the Sound Enhancer setting or from the notification panel, nothing happens (soundwise and display wise). The statusbar still shows the previous EQ. The other EQs are working well. (I hate Beats EQ though)

3. There is still something wrong with the Audio. Cannot figure out what exactly is wrong. I can hear constant "white" noise in the silent section of the music. The highs seemed very harsh and fatiguing to my ears. Maybe, its the Tegra 3 DAC/ Realtek DAC to be blamed.

Phones used : Grado SR325is for Rock/Metal/Classical

Audio Technica ATH-M50 for Bass heavy songs

Anyways, I'll consider getting a Fiio USB DAC to get rid of the white noise and making the music less harsh.
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Use wow srs or just srs its the best if you have headphones where the high tones are strong ...and clear audio + is just without really bass but with strong high tones like vocals etc...but it should work...I can select in insertcoin with lyapotas pack clearaudio+ and the other...but they aren't that great like wow srs or just srs don't know the real name atm xD

Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2
[HTC One X] rohitbalan:
Hmm, I tried WOW SRS. But I felt that the hiss sound is way more noticeable on WOW SRS when compared to other EQs. But overall SRS was way better than Beats IMHO. Beats sound production felt artifical to me. I'm trying to get ClearAudio+ to work because I love listening to Vocals ! It did work perfectly when I used Memallocator's soundmod on ViperX earlier !
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Doesnt have blade Rom their own Sound enhancer ? It was in another Rom Not viper...forgot the name....I don't notice and noise sound or so...all is fine..hm

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

If you flash latest lyapota mod pack it is nearly the same...there are just some things not inside which won't make any difference and clearaudio should work ...I use just lyapotas pack and all eqs are working fine lol

Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2
[HTC One X] rohitbalan:
Nope Blade has no Sound Enhancer as far as I know ! I installed Lyapota first by restoring Stock Audio. Then flashed PXA and then Xloud. ! Did I miss out something ?
[HTC One X] ZeroInfinity:
Noise is normal with one X's very crap DAC so that's normal.

Don't use clear audio+, on my XZ it is the worst for headphones, it's only good for speakers...

Srs sounds nice and I loved it a lot since I had my evo 3d so why not give that a try? ;) there is more hiss due to virtualization and reverb but it is normal for every phone. If you were to use a normal virtualizer on any equalizer app, noise will generate more and you can't help that. The DAC is a worse combination with virtualizer because it sucks so bad.
[HTC One X] rohitbalan:
Thanks zero for your input. So it's the Tegra 3 DAC that's causing the noise. They should have put a Wolfson DAC considering how expensive the phone is.

I'll play around with EQ. I used my grado with ClearAudio+ and was listening to vocals. Maybe that's why I found it good.

I'll test SRS. I've heard that it goes well with open headphones. So grado it is for now and maybe compare it to the audio technica as well! :);)
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Even with in ear it is really great :) this is the best eq setting for me :)

Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2
[HTC One X] ZeroInfinity:
I haven't tried Lyapota's version of clear audio + but the real clear audio + on the Xperia Z sounds really bad on headphones, whatever headphones you use (mines Sony MDR1-RNC) this is my opinion but I'm sure others will agree :)

The DAC chip I'm guessing is only on Tegra phones, the nexus 7 have aic3xxx (forgotten actual model number) and that's Tegra 3 as well.

Wolfson chips are mostly (or only) for Samsung devices and WCD9310 DAC is for Qualcomm chips.

From this information I come to a conclusion that the DAC manufacturer depends on the chipset (processor)

WCD9310 and Wolfson chips are pretty damn nice :D
[HTC One X] rohitbalan:
Agree, Samsung devices are known for their SQ, except the S2 maybe. They sounded crap, but a little better than HOX(without PXA ofcourse).

I don't know how the Xperia Z sounds like. I've read rave review all over the internet regarding Xperia Z's SQ.

I love the Wolfson chips a lot. My old iPod had it(the 5th Gen iPod Video, rockboxed), sadly it died day before yesterday. Used it for 7 years almost.

Right now, I have no good quality mp3 players and gotta resort to the HOX until a get a new player.
[HTC One X] cwtorres:
Great work Zero, the sound is amazing with this MOD. Probe with stock ROM JB + Beats Solo HD.

My small KB contribution

Hey all,

So I have been spoilt up until now having Sennheisser HD-25-1 II cans and Samsung S1 -> Samsung Infuse 4G -> Samsung S3 and all will Voodoo Sound (or derivative via Wolfson chip) and found myself in a predicament where I had no mobiles anymore (or money) and an HTC One X was given to me (thanks Work).

Reading for days about how shocking the sound is on the HTC One X, I wanted to try and figure out how I can get some decent audio again and found this thread.

While I cant provide exceptional development work like Zero, I can pass on the small things I have picked up on my end user audio journey along the way (for MP3 playback - not system sounds).

First - well done Zero on this Mod and your commitment to delivering a great sound to all users (Htc and Sony Xperia). You are my favourite person right now.

Second, After installing Zeros mod there isnt a lot else you can do other than software level based tweaks and thats where I would like to suggest trying Neutron MP. Its a clunky, weird to use audio player, but boy can you get some "good" sound out of it.

There are a couple of Primary tweaks I made to mine which really made the sound "Amazing" for me and my Voodoo+wolfson taste.

These are -

In the settings:

Enable 64 Bit rendering

Audio Hardware - Disable generic Driver

In the Control screen (one with 4 EQ sliders)

Tap PREAMP button and slide down to about 1/4 - most important bit!. This lowers the volume output ALOT but lets you add WAAY more bass via EQ. I suggest adjusting this with your hardware volume on max - that way you are tuning your Loudest acceptable level for your headphones/ears.

Once thats done (tap PREAMP again to disable) then tap EQ.

Adjust the left hand 2 sliders up to get the cleanest bass you can at the PREAMP/Volume combo you have set.

Done.

There are many more settings for you to play with. NeutronMP is a real audiophiles player but it works wonders for a novice like me too - but I stress - VERY QUIRKY TO USE haha. You will see.

I hope this helps someone achieve even "Better" sound (everyones ears/equipment is different) but i personally could not function on the HTC One X without NeutronMP (im a spoiled brat clearly). It can be purchased in the Play store (there is a time trialed version too) and you can chat with the devs via neutronmp.com if you have ideas etc for development. I have done this myself and had ideas added to the released builds!

Anyways, sorry if this is viewed as SPAM. Just wanted to contribute 'something'.

[MENTION=1336234]slipudatung[/MENTION]

Glad you enjoyed my mod

You need to understand that the one x has the WORST DAC in the world so you can't do much to the audio due to bad limitations of both hardware and software.

Qualcomm WCD9310 DAC is my favourite because I can achieve so much with this (check out my PureXAudio thread on the Xperia Z, link in sig)
[HTC One X] Freddy1X:
You know what my friend. You are right! I just love the NeutronMP sounded and man, I can tell you that your settings for it are awesome too!

Thank you very much for sharing this! :):):)
[HTC One X] :
That's pretty ironic, with all their "amazing sound" marketing :P
[HTC One X] Freddy1X:
The sound is indeed, AMAZING for me. It is up to your own ear on how you 'translate' the sound to be amazing or crap.

For me, HOX sounded just great. You need the right player, and right mod to make it as great as you want it to be.

Maybe it have the worst DAC in the world. But if it does sounded amazing, I think we can tolerate with that.
[HTC One X] ZeroInfinity:
it "sounds" amazing but other DACs can do much better :p
[HTC One X] Freddy1X:
There you are. Where have you been my man? I don't know if you have sold your HOX but I hope that you don't. We still need you here.. :angel:

Hi slipudatung,

I dont find the settings you are talking about in HOX? Am I missing something?

I've checked the "Sound Enhancer" tab in HTC's music app but there I have the usual BEATs audio profiles (nothing different). I am on ViperX rom

I might be able to continue with HTC developing during the summer (When I get a lot of free time)
[HTC One X] p50kombi:
That'll be cool.

On a side note, does anyone knew how I can get this to work properly with poweramp?

I know it's not officially supported but I do like it as a player.

Using mixzing right now as it seems to work well with the mod.

Would love to use the original android music player, but because of lockscreen controls on that it doesn't work with headset controller which I use to have more control functions with my headset button.

I still curse the way jellybean now hacks headset presses together with Google voice search.

Real pain in the ar$ which I do not thank Google for.

Bring back the way headset presses are handled in ics I say...

Slightly off topic, but a suggestion nevertheless.

Do check out this app called 3D Maven Music Player. It does a pretty good job at delivering a 3D surround effect to a song and creates a feeling like listening through speakers instead of earphones. Highly recommended.

play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com. maven.blueplayer
[HTC One X] razer1224:
Nice to see you here Rich

:D
[HTC One X] ZeroInfinity:
Actually, quite a good suggestion. I always wanted an app to emulate 5.1 surround sound effect.

I hope DTS will someday release CircleSurround Headphone again to mobile phones because it uses HRTFs and other technologies to emulate 5.1 Surround sound though Stereo speakers :D
[HTC One X] rohitbalan:
DTS recently released a new headphone called the DTS Headphone X. It's supposed to reproduce a home theater like surround sound on a headphone.

will download it now too *_* yesterday drunken like hell and today such a surprise :D :D
[HTC One X] rohitbalan:
I was listening to the improved beats audio on sense 5 for the last one hour. To be honest, I haven't found much of a difference when compared to sense 4+.

But I love the new music app UI. They have really done an amazing job this time around. Kind of feel like I'm using a new phone altogether. Overall extremely smooth. A welcoming change indeed.

I haven't tried PXA yet. I'll install and let you in a while.

EDIT: PXA works fine on Sense 5. I can't select any of the sound enhancers though.

EDIT2: Sound quality has improved a lot. Sense 5 + PXA is a treat to my ears. Oh btw, this is with beats disabled. I prefer listening without any enhancers.
[HTC One X] ZeroInfinity:
Meh I'm on Sense 5 now and Beats Audio (As well as their crap headphones/earphones) still seems like the worst audio enhancement I have ever heard despite HTC's effort to make it better in Sense 5...

I remember that we used to have HTC enhancer (SRS CircleSurround Headphone or some may know it as 5.1 surround sound) when watching videos/movies but now, HTC "infected" our device full of Beats Audio that no other sound enhancements are there by stock. Now, I know DTS Audio is there in the framework coding but it's not enabled by default (Stupid HTC). I'm not sure enabling from framework will do much but I will try and get DTS working. I don't know why HTC has this thing for Beats Audio but it's really getting stupid.
[HTC One X] rohitbalan:
That's why I never use beats. I prefer the flattest and the most natural sound.
[HTC One X] ryaneu:
I installed this on HOX+ 4.2.2 sense 5 but i can't tell if the sound mod is activated when i play music. Is there suppose to be an icon or something to tell me that its activated?
[HTC One X] ZeroInfinity:
Read the OP. it CLEARLY says that it is sytem wide. Also, stop relying on notifications/icons. You need to test it yourself and then judge if the audio quality has improved.
[HTC One X] xchan21:
This is one of the great mod working on sense5! I like the base and clarity. really one of the best!

[HTC One X] xchan21:
and i'll keep on touch on it. Beats Audio from sense 5 is kinda boring, theres no any additional enhancement to be choose from, but this mod really rocks the beat. Even though it is based on 4+ but i see a better margin after applying the mod on sense 5
[HTC One X] ryaneu:
Are we suppose to be able to choose different sound enhancements in the mod? because i can't
[HTC One X] ZeroInfinity:
No, you are not. lol What there is in the OP. If it's not in the OP then it's not in the mod.
[HTC One X] xchan21:
is xloud addon working also on sense5? please advise, i wish it gives more louder sound quality just in case :)
[HTC One X] ZeroInfinity:
No idea, some people say it doesn't work.

Too bad this is not a Qualcomm device, I could easily just increase the audio via snd_soc_msm

Can you guys take a look at something for me? in /system/etc do you see a file called "nvaudio.conf"? if not then I don't have a way to increase audio volume then. On Acer devices with Tegra chips, you get nvaudio.conf which can allow me to change hexadecimal values in the file in order to increase volume.
[HTC One X] xchan21:
Thanks for the advise and with regards to the file, it was not found on the said path folder. take a look also on the screenshot
[HTC One X] ZeroInfinity:
That's pretty sad. Oh well, I will check if I can find another way of increasing the volume later :)
