Worthless sound..

[gurrizz]

Hi.

I got my hands on the HTC Touch Diamond, recently. I love the phone, but i HATE the really worthless sound i get from the audioplayer from HTC, WMP and Pocketmusic.

Im using a stereoadapter that i got from a Swedish retailer and high-end earphones from Creative.

Im a total newbie at WM plz help me!

Try to launch audiobooster then disable then unplug adapter then plug then activate audiobooster. There is a bug that prevent it from lauching it properly

Sorry my english isn't very good.

First you have to know that there is a little bug with audiobooster on htc diamond. In fact, to prevent your phone speaker to be damaged the phone turns off the bass when there is no headphone plug. The problem is that sometime when you plug your headphone the bass doesn't comeback. To make it come back:

-While your headphone are plugged via the usb-jack adpater, launch audiobooster and uncheck the box to disable it
-Unplug your headphone (unplug the usb-jack adapter from the phone)
-You will have an error message because audiobooster can be loaded while there is no headphone plugged in
-Connect your headphone to the phone (through the usb-jack adapter)
-Click on "retry" in the message error box
-Check the box to activate equalizer

Try to use GSPlayer, it has a nice feature, Bass Boost, I used to use it on my prophet and it was much better than windows media player.

get yourself a set of really nice bluetooth headphones, then set bluetooth streaming to 328kbs (via registry). bluetooth headphones have their own d/a converters, which sound really great if you buy a hi end set. that way you don't need to worry wether your player has crappy sound output like ipod or wm device. They all sound the same because your headphones are creating the music and not the device with its cheap ass d/a converters.

bluetooth 328kbs btw is not distiguishable by human ears from original music and will sound like mp3 with 240kbs.

Just install CorePlayer, problem solved.

Fully functioing pre-amp and equalizer turns your diamond into a more than worthy music playing device. Trust me!

try to use wow 3d sound and bass enhancer 1.21 + control panel.
this works very well und it clear up the sound. like creative x-fi`s chrystalizer.
install the 1.21 driver. (search forum)(this i allready testet. the 1.28... i dont know)
copy the cpl file to
windows/startmenü/einstellungen, (english devices windows/startmenu/settings)
use core player

set wow hd 3d to:
srs3d effect 50%
srs center effect, 80 %
srs focus 80%
srs definition 20%. (more will more chrystalize the sound, but too much is to strange)

trubass level 80% and
trubass speaker size 60 hz. ( up to 100hz will increase the feelen bass, but its kick bass only, the low deep base will be decreased.)

now you start core player and play your mp3.
is the sound not enough for you, go tho coreplayers equalizer.
dont increase any parameter more than 12 db.
this will have very unnatural accustical sideeffects.
don`t increase the lowest frequency slider too much! there is not enough powerout potential!

for me, the settings working very well.
Do NOT use the original HTC headset! this high quallity typ of shit headset! its an open system. miniaturisized open system headsets hasn`t got a good base.
(i use: Ultimate Ears super.fi 10 PRO Metallic Blue- they really rocks da houze. but the outputpower of the diamond is okay, but not really enough, to play at high volume levels, with full base.
a creative x-fi soundcard with the headset connected to, will present the full potential of the Ultimate Ears super.fi 10 PRO. i can`t belive whats going on, in your ears :-))

the same old output problem.. it can all go away thanks to bluetooth. :) my sony dr bt-50 has more than enough reserves for all the bass. you can even use srs to push the bass lower, making it sound even more dynamic. it's great. too bad they have to build those cheap d/a converters into everything. but hey, if an ipod can sell, why would htc need anything better?

so if you think the sound sucks, use srs wow hd (evens out the crappiness of your sound output in combination with your headphones ) with really great headphones, like dom posted before or get get a pair of great bluetooth headphones, where the output is already optimized for the speakers.

what is the registry key to adjust the bluetooth streaming rate to 328?
