I thought Beats audio was hardware.

apparently on some devices it's hardware, some it's software. I got it on my sensation which didn't have it before.

i did try to install the beats music apk, it force closed. beats is a big gimmick. all the htc phones that have beats just have a pre-built equalizer that kicks in when u plug in a pair of beats.
mkdir android ; cd android ; repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git ; repo sync ; make

Its gimmicky for sure, but HTC sure paid a hell of a lot for the brand. Maybe that's why they can't get android updates out.
Days of free media are almost over as the biggies look for more revenue streaming from your wallet... ...Don't believe me? Take a look at all the flagship models now being sold WITHOUT microSD card slots.

Yeah but I am unable to replicate those audio levels therefore it does make a difference. I like that a professional was able to bottle up a sound quality and deliver it to my alcoholic ears. Maybe it would sound even better with quality hardware but I'll take what I can get.

I have flashed a beatz zip file from Evo3D, but no go.. The quality (EQ) is nice though in my Evo3D.. Maybe we need to check files and tweak it.. have not tested the updated zip..

I tested Beats on the Sensation for a while, but PowerAMP app (2.x) still beats it :) HTC never confirmed that it was following the hardware recommendations used for example in HP Beats Audio products, so indeed it might all just be software...

Yes it does improve the quality quite a bit imo, I own beats headphones and have tested this feature far too much (with and without beats headphones) on my dhd when we were porting it to Coredroid. Unfortunately, I was too busy with my Flyer at the time so I have no idea how it was done. I do still have the files we were messing with though so I can at least figure out how hard the job would be..

Maybe Lee knows but he seems to be pretty busy already, I'll ask Sergio or Capy about it when I get a chance. Would be nice to have it on these tablets

I would love some audio enhancement on the Flyer. I would prefer standalone i.e. Cyanogen DSP vs. one that forces you to use a particular player i.e. PowerAmp.
