Not sure what you mean about screens mate.

And no I've not got round you it I've been quite busy with real life lately and I don't have time to clean flash,

I'm quite happy on LeeDroid ATM but srom certainly does arouse my interest.

So... Anyone tried out the JBL from the switcher... Any thoughts if on HK vs JBL?
[One (M8) General] pisc3s1203:
if you want clarity, use hk, if you want bass, use jbl. both of them are good though :)
[One (M8) General] danial.aw:
Any thoughts on which one is louder? Also Boomsound has decent bass... Is JBL more punch than that
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Jbl is much better than boomsound for bass and clarity and the answer to your other question is jbl is also louder, it's easy to switch between them just try them out but I'd recommend jbl. Hk is great though but if you want bass jbl is definitely the way to go.
[One (M8) General] pisc3s1203:
boomsound is suck compared to these 2 :))

Extract it from the zip then copy and paste it in the viper4android kernel folder.

[One (M8) General] jxcorex28:
I've been using poweramp for years, but haven't used it lately. I've forgotten the settings you need to enable so that v4a is compatible with the application. PowerAmp is by far the best music application you can find for android. Google Play Music or the native music player that comes preinstalled with most CM ROMs can't hold a candlestick to PA. I know Smee has told me before you will get the best sound performance from sense ROMs, but honestly I do not know enough about that subject. If this were programming (structure text, RLL, object oriented) I could talk a storm up. Perhaps Smee can enlighten us with which is better as far as sound performance is concerned, Sense ROMs or CM ROMs.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
TBH I've not used cm for that reason, everything I've read suggests the sound quality isn't great for cm roms on m8, also I really like sense 7 anyway and LeeDroid rom is Rock solid,

Also I haven't used power amp for a while myself since the whole does it work with hk malarkey back on kk lol, but I would tend to agree that it is by far the best music player for Android, and I'm sure it was dvc you had to disable for v4a to work.

In your pm you asked about a recommended setup, hk and v4a are a must that said hk really does itself proud so personally I no longer use irs for external speakers or headphones, however I do use one for internal speakers, I use boomsound irs by zhuhang as it adds back some volume since hk isn't as loud on internal speakers as boomsound.

So it's a case of personal taste with v4a, I only really use a couple of settings myself I use dynamic system to give it some pump and subeoofer bass @10db just to give hk some extra bass, I also use analogue x I really like this new feature I feel it gives a really clean sound.

If you need any more information or advice please feel free to ask, I'm always around mate.
[One (M8) General] eriknors:

[One (M8) General] eriknors:

[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
It does look pretty good but hk does all that standard, I don't know if it's necessary on m8 maybe if you use boomsound or cm roms.

Thanks for the screens mate.
[One (M8) General] i'mrunningoutofusernames:
Does flashing dragon-fi on sense (LeeDroid) without the atmos app do anything? I don't think I can tell the difference.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
It improves quality with alsa processing mate.
[One (M8) General] i'mrunningoutofusernames:
I see, does it help with the Internal speakers too? Also Do i need to turn off boomsound when using earphones? Much thanks!

If you could direct me somewhere that says what alsa processing does to improve quality i would appreciate it very much.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I just goggled it and there is so much information I don't know what to show you I suggest to google it yourself lol.

Boomsound can remain on if that's your choice of system sound, I guess it works on internal speakers as its a system wide sound MOD.

Not used cm myself mate TBH there was a lot of talk last year about the built in amp of m8 not being used properly in cm roms which put me off flashing cm and then sense 7 was released and I think it's great so never bothered trying although I had heard cm fixed the issue but evidently not lol. [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] is very good at what he does and I would imaging that one of his mods would suit your needs, you may want to flash dragon-fi as out will improve the quality of the audio in any case, I can also recommend project desire but you wouldn't want to flash that and dragon-fi as they both use alsa as a base for sound processing.

You can limit volume in v4a that should help with the distortion.

And speaker optimization should help quite allot.

Hope this helps mate.

No problem at all mate thanks.

You were pretty much on the money anyway.

P.s I appreciate the fact everyone keeps this thread alive, it has become everything i hoped when I started it and I hope it carries on in the way.

Lately, I flashed Dragon Fi Audio v27 and then H/K mod which are sounding great.

But stuck with v4a. Flashed via recovery the file present in H/k bs jbl switcher by santod040 v3.05. The drivers aren't installed it seems since it frequently prompts me to install/update them. Tried fx in compatible mode but no effect is observed. Note: I have delete HTC audo effect conf file.

System Spec: ARHD 53.1 with stock kernel. No other mods present apart from stated above. S-off and unlocked phone.

[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Your flashing in the right order that is strange maybe it's because your deleting htc_audio.conf, there is no need to delete that file anymore when you use the v4a installer from the hk thread as it is used by hk and boomsound and that installer adds the lines to make it work alongside v4a.

Link added for reference, and you can see it says no need to delete anything.

Failing that try a different rom maybe, I can recommend LeeDroid from personal experience as I find it an awesome rom or srom gets some very good reviews.
