Friends,

I am a very big fan of SRS on the Raphael and I tell you the application plugin is pain to get working. As everyone has written before my post, it either works or it doesn't on their device. There are a few versions out there floating around and it does require a lot of trial and error in order to get the sound wanted from the plugin.

Now, before I start I have been through three Raphael phones due to hardware problems that I had to send back for RMA replacement. I am now on my fourth phone and hope it stays that way for a long time!

On two of the raphael phones, I was not recieving the full punch of SRS wow with the extra bass, compression, surround sound etc.. But on the other two same identical phones I had no problems with the full sound. At the present, if I listen to a song - doesn't matter the song I hear the bass thumping into my chest.. Sometimes, it can be annoying and other times the balence that srs brings out between all instruments is amazing. This is where SRS does a beautiful job bringing out the extra heavey bass without muffling the other sounds. If you think your srs is working but doesn't deliever the bass thumping in your chest as I describe for your mp3 playback phone, then it's truely not working...

I have included my screen shots, registry edits and the different device information for you to plow through and compare. Now, remember this is for the AT&T Raphael pocket pc phone.

Steps

1. Install SRS_WOW_HD 121.CAB and reboot the ppc
2. Install WOWHD_ARM_Panel.cpl
3. Change the registry entries before going into the app.
4. Goto: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev]
5. Change "Flags"=dword:00010000 to "Flags"=dword:00010002
6. Launch SRS WOW from the settings and use the screen shot I supplied. I like the heavey bass thumping sound, so these are my settings.


SRS Software Versions

I could not get the other software versions to work with the raphael phone. So for SRS to work 121 is the only one that works. Don't waste your time trying the others....just use 121

Now, how do you figure out if your Raphael phone will produce the sound with SRS WOW as I mentioned above? That is a good question because it definitely comes down to the electronics in the device that HTC puts into the device. Should SRS WOW work on all devices "YES" but as I expressed earlier, it does not. I have already been through four phones and two worked and two didn't. (Same settings, reg edits, radio, spl etc). So there is something between the devices that delivers better performance with SRS.

Stats Information on PPC

Rom Version ROMeOS v1.51 WWE
Rom Date: 12/04/08
Radio Version: 1.02.25.32
Protocol Version: 52.39c.25.22U

IMEI - first ten digits I noticed a trend between phones. "15" works and "12" does not. I verified this with the other two phones and the one that did work also had a "15"..
3531420212 SRS doesn't work (Old Phone)
3531420215 SRS works (New Phone)

SPL

RAPH110
SPL-1.90.Olinex

MicroP-Raph (Key) v5
PSOC-Raph Stage_CVT v0x36

R: 1.02.25.32
G: 52.39c.25.22
D: 1.9xromeos (RomeOS)

Mac Address

I also noticed that the two phones that SRS wow did work on the mac addresses were close and similar, the other two were different.

I would honestly for those really interested in having SRS on their phone for the Raphael users, definitely use ROMeOS rom and radio I listed.

It will take some trial and error deffinitely. But in the meantime, the application SRS wow has to be handled with kid gloves in order to real deliver the sound.

Also, take note and back everything up before making changes to your ppc.

Good luck and hope you enjoy.

Thanks so much tvos, after two hard resets yesterday, I though I'd give it one more shot when I came across this post. It works great on my vogue! I noticed I didn't have a "Flags" dword in my WaveDev so after creating this and a soft reset it works perfect. Now it makes that Parrot Bluetooth FM transmitter all the better in the TA! Thanks again.

np... this fix is from someone elses's earlier posting. it worked like a charm.

also, check out my other post on SRS which is a snapshot of my settings, details etc..

Well I spoke too soon, seems this locked up my screen when it went into power save mode. Had to soft reset to bring it back. If it was left inactive for an amount of time it would not come back to life. big bummer for me. Hard to go on without it now that I had a taste of how great it works. Anyone have a solution for this issue?

srs wow is a bugger to get it to work and when it does. life is sweet!

as I mentioned in the previous post about the settings, screen shot etc. i really do think there is something about the chipset on the phones that determine if it will work or not. i have already been through four fuze phones and two didn't work, same settings nothing changed - no luck and the other two did right out of the box.

my recommendatin is to do a system reset hard and install the app and panel, reboot and then see if it produces the extra bass etc..

Anyone tried the new v1.5.1.0 that just came out?
