Sound quality with MP3's - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi... need your help again.
When I play my mp3's the sound is really poor. I use Sony in ear phones (and tried these with differente headphones) with adapter. The mp3 sounds like through an old telephone... The audio booster doesnt do much difference... BUT listening to radio all sounds great!
What could be wrong? All Mp3s I have are CD quality (used them on my Ipod and Vario II with no probs), even the HTC sample Mp3s sound the same.

founded in a polish forum try it:
1. when the sound is bad, connect the earphones
2. swich on mp3 player
3. pause
4. go to Audio Booster
5. disable Equaliser
it should be OK, and you could activate Audio Booster next time.
in general, it looks like you have some old rom ver, or sth...

got it
I found another thread on another forum & fixed the prob!
The issue is something goes wrong with the phone if you disconnect your earphones while the audio booster is on. What I did was connected the earpieces again, disabled audio booster, soft resetted the phone... and voila... works with nice bass again!
Thanks for help.

It's flat!

yes...I'm speaking about the quality of sound while listening an mp3 through the headphones. The sound is really flat without basses or medium frequencies. Even using a better quality headphones the result is always the same: very poor audio quality. It sucks! ...and did you notice that every time you tap on the screen the click that it produces is preceded by a "zack" as happens when an ampli is badly turned on. Listen it carefully and compare with another pda (mine was the artemis).

The same here but I'm using Ethymotic Isolator stereo headset and fit4cat utility to hack A2DP reg.
re: flat sound
I have quite a few earphones & their sounds all vary when using it on the D810. If you like a bit of bass & good mid-range
I recommend the Creative CP630. I suspect Seinnheisers CX300 would be the same.
I too found adjusting a2dp with Fit4cat made a difference in sound quality.
I bought the Sony MDR-EX90 recently that sound fantastic on my home stereo, but sounded very flat on the D810.
@ Ipnotik : worth trying out a different pair of earphones. Dopods may not be the best mp3 players, but hopefully you get to find a good headphone combo which sounds bearable.
Oh & try Mortplayer as it has an equalizer .
You have two choices (I have tested both):
pocket player + ipaqaudio.exe
or
TCPMP equalizer or gsplayer

Ipaqaudio can be found on this forum just make a search
It is an equalizer hardware change originally made for ipaq but it works on my P3600 and the only thing a noticed is that it sometime reset when I change sound.But exceps that It works fine!
It is great to have a hardware equalizer

Thanks, I found it...but it seems that to have it working you must have wired headset connected...did you try it with BT headset?
I use an htc tytn usb to jack converter bought in france (mobidistrib)
You can find the trinity one (it is the same) on expansys.

Bad mp3 sound quality through usb cable

Hi,
so i got my diamond a week ago, and bought HTC usb-jack cable to plug my mobile on different hifi system to listen to my mp3
- sound sucks
(even i use core player, media player....)
When i switch on radio, quality is normal (good i mean)
And when i switch on my bluetooth headset, quality is also super (mp3, radio, ....)
Does anyone can tell me if it's normal or no, and how can i really improve the mp3 quality making it -normal- using usb cable !!!???
Thanks... A LOT
ahhh, youve used the audio booster havnt you? it has issues with unplugging headsets at the wrong moment and leaves you with permanant bad sound!
this thread will sort it out and get perfect sound quality back

Music player and A2DP

Hi all,
First of all, I have searched a lot but could not find an answer to my question -- if it has already been posted then my apologies.
I have a strange problem. I listen to music via A2DP using the TF3D music player. Everything works fine until I stop listening and switch off my headset. If I then want to listen to music again and switch on my headset, I can't hear anything (either through the headset or the phone speaker) despite the music being played by the player until I soft reset the device and start again, when everything works fine! I have now got a new device for my car (again using A2DP) and have exactly the same problem.
I don't really want to get another music player because the default player serves my purpose just fine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a bunch.

How did you change the default music player and disabled the bitpool? Can you please explain the procedure to me?
Thanks
Hallo,
i usec diamond twaeks. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409540
You can change the audiomanager to windows and at bluetooth you can switch the bitpool to disable.
I have used the bitpool at high, and i have the problem, i change it to disable an i have no more problem.
i hope this is the bug and no random...

Hi again earthjumper,
I have changed the bitpool so let's see what happens. I still don't know how to change the default music layer to media player!
Does it better the audio quality in A2DP ?
Cause I think the Diamond performs very bad, sound quality is awful when I listen to the music through my Jabra BT-8010.
Hissing, bad sound quality, distorsion... What a mess... My Sony Ericsson k800performs MUCH better and acts as a real audio player. With HTC, I could'nt manage to have decent audio in A2DP...
Any tweaks in Diamond Tweaks?
Thanks !
Try the free version of Pocket Music. If you enable the equalizer and play around with the presets, it really sounds good on the Diamond, both through the speaker and through BT headset. All others I tried I had the same experience as you.
http://www.pocketmind.com/pocketmusic.htm
THX a lot for ypour quick answer !
I'll give it a spin and keep you updated.
I am afraid it does not work at all...
I still hear these distorsions/metallic noises in high frequencies. It not "earable". It still really creates unintentionnal sounds, hissing and noise, lots of noise...
I have tried any single MP3 player for my diamond but none is working... I guess the A2DP is defective in ths unit.
I am left with a very sad feeling of disappointment... It's another world when I plug in the default corded headset which came out with the unit. Nice sound, not the best of course, but a REAL increase in quality. Niothing is wrong in high frequencies, everything is much smoother and less metallic.
Thanks for your help anyway !
Any other tweak that I might use ? Registry setting, Diamond Tweak... ?
Sound is so unnatural it looks like there's something wrong with a setting... And I don't think the Jabra BT-8010 is faulty here. It could be, but I really don't think so...
@cornwall,
have you change any bluetooth settingss?
when i change the joint-stereo setting to disable, the sound over my bt-headset very bad.let it enable the sound is good, but low bass.

Thats not your Jamba, i bought yesterday Sony Ericsson Bluetooth stereo loudspeaker,
(MSB-100 i think) and the sound is terrible - you hear so much high frequencies distorsions that your ears suffers (and i'm not a sound freak!).
Tested the loudspeaker with old sony ericsson - no distorsions, sound quality 200% better..
Whats sad I haven't found the solution so far,
only SRS WOW (settings WOW Bass) brings me a little bit satisfaction..
Will try more tricks, maybe new ROM with new drivers ??
Hi all,
We seem to have drifted from my original query! I still have not found the solution. I tried earthjumper's remedy but it didn't work. I have tried other players but you can't control them via Bluetooth (i.e. play/pause/volume etc.). Windows Media Player is OK BUT every time it is run, you have to select the music and the library navigation is meant to be done with a stylus. The thing I like most about TF3D music player is that the music that you have selected to play (finger navigation) is always there even when you reset the device.
So my question again -- is there any solution for my problem or can someone tell me of a Windows media player skin which doesn't require a stylus?
Thanks and apologies for the long post.
I agree, I had an orbit 2, and the sound was fantastic through my car bluetooth stereo, now with the xda ignito the sound crackels and sounds terrible on high frequencys.

Bluetooth-audio not very loud

Hi,
I tried different (stereo)-headsets from motorola and jabra. The transmitted audio is not very loud, I tried the headsets with a bluetooth-connection to my windos-XP and it was much louder.
Is there any setting that sets the transmitted volume?
The volume button doesn't seem to affect the bluetooth volume, only the normal speaker and headphone.
Pocket Tunes volume booster
Hello,
Do you know pockettunes?
It's a nice prog with A2DP & AVRCP support.
And for you.... a volume booster up to 15db.
Not always perfect sound, sometimes a little scratchy, not disturbing.
I hope attachment will do it.
I have problems with uploading
[EDIT: ok, no attachment, sorry.. tou can search google for a torrent with the file ''Pocket Tunes 4.1 for Windows Mobile.zip'']
Ha!
Thanks so far! Now the music part can be solved.
But how can I do that with phone calls?

Separate Personalized Sound For Different Sound Output

Hi. I tried looking through the forum via google, but didnt see anyone asking, so i would like to ask here.
I customized my Samsung Note 8 sound via Sound Quality and Effects -> Adapt Sound -> Personalize Sound for my Nakamichi earphones and the sound is superb. I love it.
I also spent hours to slowly tune my car audio system via it's amplifiers and my active sub-woofers. Playing from FM radio or MP3 via USB is fine and awesome. But when i play from my phone, it is horrible.
From time to time stream spotify or listen to mp3 stored on my phone to my car stereo system. I am currently just streaming via Bluetooth but the sound is aweful. the bass is off and too loud and it hurts. The sound will crack and it is just dreadful.
But i do not want to retune the Personalized sound on my phone or the amplifiers on my car.
I will be getting a new car btw, and it comes with android auto but i have yet to test my phone with android auto. the car dealer would not let me connect for "i dont know what reasons" so i am a bit worried the sound may come out horrible as well.
Is there a way to set separate sound profiles so i can switch them easily? For use in car and for use when using earphones via 2.5mm earphone jack.
Any help here is greatly appreciated.
