Audio Bass Fix For ANY ROM

[prsnow]

Here is a bass boost audio patch to fix the low bass problem on new Roms.
(NOTE: Apparently this issue is already corrected on the new HTC roms.)


There are three files included.
Install the certificate (Certs) files first and the HTC_WaveDev.cab file last.

I do not know why but it does not work, still no Bass!

[xtraart]

Thank you.I will Try.

[enlite_de]

No change in Bass here either. Tried it on the LVSW ROM with the WMP.

[prsnow]

I updated the download link with the individual CAB files for manual install instead. Install the HTC_WaveDev.cab LAST and it should work correctly this time.

[VNet]

Seems to work for me, thanks !!
How does it work ?

[Gilbert]

Hi,

Great job. Ok there are three cabs. which one to execute?

Best regards,

Gilbert

[meroupow]

YES! Bass is back

I can now use TCPMP again and it's one very important software...
thanks.

[mihaig]

Works for me as well. Thanks prsnow! My Trinity becomes better and better each day :)

[Guybrush]

seem really better

Execute/install all of them. Install the certificate files first (Certs) and the HTC_WaveDev.cab file last.

Thanks, works fine now.

[tower5]

I tried two times , but after the soft reset ( request after the installation of the third cab ) , the device seems to be blocked with WHITE screen

hard reset done , recovered any installation thansk to spb backup , but why this happen?
please help me !!

my rom is :
1.23.707.6
02/08/2007
radio 1.35.00.11
prot. 32.68.7020.10H

do I need another rom ?

Thkx !!!

[Erbol]

do I need another rom ? Thkx !!!
I've got the same ROM and patching went well without any problems. Sequence is very important. First intall certificates and only then WaveDev.

I have a very basic question about this problem with lack of bass with the new ROMs. How can you appreciate the difference when the earbuds of the headset provided by HTC are soooo big that it is even a problem to make them stay stable in the ear?
I use a SonyEricsson stereo BT headset and regardless of the other A2DP problems with the Trinity the earbuds can really fit my ears and bass is very good. When I travel by plane and I must use the HTC headset I just give up listening to music.

You're right, but the a2dp is less affected by this bug. I've tryed my bluetooth headset.

But that's right that the headset given with this phone is lacking of quality.

Use that stuff http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=144543 + BassFix patch and enjoy your favourite headphones.

YeeHa! You da man! Thank you, sound is back to normal, in fact it is even a little heavy. Can I do a reg tweak to turn it down a bit? Now my Trinity is finally doing all that I ask of it :) . Good job.

Same thing for me. Soft reset, then white screen. Needed to hard-reset! >:(

[extenue]

Works fine on SFR S300+ and its own original shipped ROM

Thanks to the P/R :p

[tower5]

also if I respect in detail the described sequence on installation , again " white screen" !!!

thanks for any suggestion !!++

I installed the 2 certificate files, then did "turn off" device with the power button. Wait 20 seconds to make sure all is saved. Turn on "starts soft reset". Install the HTC main file. If you do a soft reset with the stylus hole sometimes recent changes can get lost.

Maybe offtopic but can you explain how you deal with incoming calls when using standard headphones without microphone? Can you hear through the headset and talk into the Trinity microphone?

Here you will find an adapter that includes a mic. There is also a 3-way adapter so that you can charge and listen at the same time. I own both and they work great. http://shop.brando.com.hk/o2xda.php

[psargent]

Just to add another vote of confidence for this fix, it installed perfectly for me and I am soooooooo grateful to prsnow for making it possible (or more accurately, bearable) for me to use CorePlayer again!!!

Remember - cert files first, then HTC_Wavedev! :p

[archangel0712]

Does it makes a difference where you install these files (storage card or on the phone itself?? ) ??

[jcute]

Can i use this files with Hermes?

[Menneisyys]

Great news, I've frontpaged it at PPCMag. Congrats!

[prsnow]

Yep, this is what I was going to mention to those who are getting the white screen. Power cycle the device (hold down power button for about 5 seconds to turn off device, then power on again after a few seconds) after installing the certificates to ensure the registry data is saved. Then install the wavedev file. BTW, if you get a white screen you can simply plug in the device to usb and uninstall the wavedev cab through activesync. Reboot and you'll be back to normal without a hard reset.

Choose the phone. But it really shouldn't matter cuz the cab files are configured to install in the windows folder on the device no matter what install location you select.

[jirkab]

:D Great post, very thanks! - Bass is back
I am one from others ( white screen :eek: ) because, I instaled first HTC_WaveDev.cab - mistake :D (spb backup help for me). First you must install two files: SdkCerts...and HTC_Certs...(twice reading and once doing :) )
Once more: thanks!

[marco007]

I installed without any problem the cabs... the result is really great. Thanks

[EventHorizon]

Great, works!

[markyeungcy]

Bass is back.
This patch is insanely amazing.
Thanks a lot.

[inxo]

I have been trying to download the file but it always reach the download limit. Can someone help me?

[on1x1]

i just installed the HTC_WaveDev.cab on a tornado smartphone. it broke *i was expecting that* my sound :D so... don't try this at home kids :)

[Loboman]

Installed and it works, but now my Bluetooth stereo is broken.
Uninstalled and tried pairing the headset again, but no luck. Any suggestions?

---

Edit:

It seems like it helped just to write about the problem here. I shut down the device and restarted and it works again. Strange, but it's ok, hehe. :)

[volume]

Hi, thanks a million trillion times. The bass is back and my Trinity and finally I'm able to lissening to Mr. Bonamassa

[leecotton]

Wah! The host for the file has reached its limit and it's not letting anyone download it. Can someone host this file elsewhere?

I just uploaded it, I don't know how long it will last, someone has been deleting files... ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Trinity/

[inxo]

Thanks Matterhorn but I think the correct address is

ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Trinity/BassFix_2/

[Matterhorn]

Thanks Matterhorn but I think the correct address is

ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Trinity/BassFix_2/
Well, my link was correct when I made it because I checked it, the ftp site here is not responding at the moment to any of the links so I can't verify it. Anyway I put the files in uploads under a directory BassFix 2, they might move it to another directory.

[prsnow]

I added a couple of mirror locations to the files in the original post. Hopefully that will help.

[fluke]

wow tin man has left the house. works like a charm. thanks
cheers

[Moaske]

My prayers have been heard! Joy !! I 've got bass back again too :D :cool: :)
Now my Trinity is the ultimate WM phone i could ever wish for! (except maybe have it make coffee, or the upcoming P4550 maybe ? ;) ) ...

Big thanks here too!

[el-aser]

Again....The host for the files has reached its limit. Who wants to help?

[ofdrive]

HELP!!!
I just installed the HTC_WaveDev and now, after the soft reset, my P3600 is blocked on a blank screen!!!

What do I have to do???
Yhanks

[psargent]

What you should have done is read this thread from the beginning!

Just bustin' your balls...

Just hard reset your trin (sorry - hope you have a data backup!) and then reinstall in this order: Cert files first and THEN AND ONLY THEN install the HTC_WaveDev file. The order is CRUCIAL! Installing HTC_WaveDev before the Cert files will send you to the white screen club! But, then of course you would have known this if you had read through this thread before installing it! ;) Lesson learned. Good luck!

You can also connect your device to usb with the white screen still showing (the OS still loads even though the screen is white), and UNINSTALL the wavedev cab through activesync. Reboot and you'll be back to normal without a hard reset.

[ausdim]

And after install first this:

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Trinity/BassFix_2/HTC_Certs.cab

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Trinity/BassFix_2/SdkCerts.cab

And after this:

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Trinity/BassFix_2/HTC_WaveDev.cab


And you should be ok.... ;)

[Matterhorn]

And after install first this:

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Trinity/BassFix_2/HTC_Certs.cab

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Trinity/BassFix_2/SdkCerts.cab

And after this:

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Trinity/BassFix_2/HTC_WaveDev.cab


And you should be ok.... ;)
You might want to do a soft reset with the power button in-between the Certs cabs and the WaveDev cab just to make sure they are saved in the system.

[ofdrive]

Thank you very much guys!!!
...lesson (SURELY) learned!

Have a great day!

[ZakMcRofl]

I'd like to integrate this into my german GPS rom and have two questions:

1) how can I check if this "bug" is fixed? Is there a noticeable difference when using the speakers or does it only affect the headset?

2) Does anyone know which files from the cabs have to be please in the OS itself. I saw how LVSW installs the certs but I'm not sure if you could integrated them directly into the ROM. Will have to read up on that.

[nau310d]

Is this fix working for people here?

[Matterhorn]

Is this fix working for people here?
Yes, it works. You might as well upgrade your ROM at this point and it will be fixed with the rom upgrade.

[psargent]

Yes, it works. You might as well upgrade your ROM at this point and it will be fixed with the rom upgrade.

I just thought I'd clarify this for anyone who just got an HTC branded trin and thinks that the sound quality can be improved by applying this fix...

This fix should be requalified as applicable only to Dopod roms. The original HTC rom did not have poor bass, we only started talking about this after the first Dopod GPS rom came out. So to be technical, the new HTC GPS rom is not "fixing" anything if you are upgrading straight from the original HTC rom, only if you have used a Dopod rom in the meantime.

Long story short, if you start with an official HTC rom, this fix will do nothing to improve your sound quality.

Nice recap:) .

[nau310d]

I just know that the bass got very bad after I installed the swedish rom. Now I used this fix and the bass is good again.

[dudu7559]

seem really better

Spy and try, Guy.......... This is what happens here.

[eviltrooper]

works fine for me.. thanks :)

I am quite new to this site - I have an Orange SPV M700 with the original Orange ROM (GPS enabled - the phone was bought in Feb 2007)
I know you say it only works for DOPOD ROMS but do you think this fix will work for me? (I've noticed the lousy tinny sound from Windows Media player through my headphones as well just recently).

I could just give it a go anyway... otherwise I'm destined to lousy music until this problem is fixed properly. Does anyone know where to log problems like this so they are fixed properly (e.g. by HTC)?

Thanks and cheers!

[Azamat]

Is this fix still needed?
or is it already in the new roms of HTC?

Yes, I think this fix will work for you too. I think it improves the quality of the sound from any other service provider's rom that experiences these kind of sound issues. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly..
The fix works a treat! The music sounds great now!
I thought I was destined to months of listening to music which sounded like it was played on a sheet of tin foil...!

Many thanks - cheers! Have a good weekend!

[AkshayGenius]

Can some1 plz provide an alternate link, rapidshare does not work for me.

Thanx
Ak

[AkshayGenius]

What I need is a fix that improves the bass in songs and stuff. Currently I have mUn's 1.25 v ROM, and the sound comes very shrill with no bass at all. And I'm hoping, i'll fix that. But I really do require an alt. link as rapidshare doesnt work for me.
Thanx,
Ak

[tsioge]

I bought the VPA GPS (german Vodafone). Sound was really bad!:eek:

But with your Update its much better now!:D

[Csaro]

I have an Orange M700, purchased in April, the sound was indeed very tinny, through both the speaker and the included earphones.

Grabbed the files from post #51 and installed as prescribed, HTC_Wav.cab last after the other two and a full re-start. Definately works, the sound through the earphones is much improved. The sound through the speaker is still tinny but then that's down to the speaker itself I think.

Thanks to prsnow, I don't know how your fix works but it does. Genius.

[thebosh]

Hi,
This fix is great, and have decent sound again (thank you!), though have now realised that there seems to be some sort of conflict between this base fix and Card Export II (v3)... have not found any posts regarding this, though surely I can't be the first to experience this?!

Basically, after installing this bass fix, the Card Export icon disappears from Today screen, and when trying to access the prog from Programs, I get the following message: "Can't connect to driver interface. Please reinstall Card Export". And trust me, reinstalling does not work!! ;-)

Any help greatly appreciated, as I would rather not have to be without either of them!

[ooOOZ]

Hi theboch,
I have had the same problem with cardexport v3, and the same message, but didn’t get there from any audio fixes issue. I lost cardexport icon just by clicking “exit” from cardexport tray icon menu. It disappeared and the program stopped working and i got the message "Can't connect to driver interface. Please reinstall Card Export"...
I finally managed to make it work using a file explorer and a registry editor.
This is what i did, i don't know what made it work:
1-go to program folder under program and run uninstall cardex by running CardExportSetup.exe
2-go to settings (under start) >system>uninstall program (sorry translating from French os)
3-delete program
4-manually delete program folder
5-search in your entire device for anything related using a folder explorer, look for those two keywords cardexport and softick, and delete them. Be careful deleting things...
6-open registry editing program, and search for the same keywords (cardexport and softick) and when sure of selection delete them again touching registry is risky so make sure it's only those two keywords results.
7-soft reset.
8-reinstall and when program asks…soft reset again.
That should do it.
Good luck.

[ozpc]

Thanks heaps, mate!

You saved me quite some money - I thought it was the crappy headphone so I was gonna buy a new one, until I read your post!

[sabestian]

Thanks, worked a treat!

Edit: BS, just checked it again, still no bass... Perhaps it's the stock headphones issue... Cannot confirm 'till the adapter flies from Hong Kong.

[Greatdane]

Dear experts, how come my dopod D810 cannt have gps. I have downloaded into this room but still no GPS. is there any other way?

[teohwk]

Anybody tried this on Dopod's official WM6 ROM? Or is this already fixed in the upgrade?

[lordemre]

Thanks a lot guys!!!!
This patch solved all my remaining problems with my VPA Compact GPS (HTC Trinity)!!!
The sound is great!!! Now it is definitely the best mobile device out there!
Best regards

[Eu26]

I have the latest rom from HTC website 1.23 with GPS. I bought a car cradle with power and a headphone 2.5mm jack. Through headphones sounds ok, but when I connect my p3600 to my car stereo it sounds like there is no bass at all. It really sucks.

Installed the patch but did nothing for me. Anybody else with this porblem?

[zkip]

check your wiring is in phase - out of phase will cancel the bass thru a stereo but you wouldn't notice with headphones.
