Default Sound Problem

Recently got a touch diamond and I love the device save for one issue.

I've synced music to the phone and it seems to be going over fine. I just have NO BASS in any song. I tried the original headphones and thought those were just crappy so i went out bought a USB to 3.5 adapter and tried it with bose/technics/shure headphones and still nothing!!

I've looked at the audio enhancer tool on the phone and nothing in there makes a difference. Wondering if anyone else has been having this problem or even knows of a solution to it.

Thanks

I've had this identical problem.

It worked fine for the first day of use, then I charged overnight, added some more music in the morning, and that was it - no bass.

This is serious because I want to use it as my main music player. If I can't get it sorted it's going to have to go back.

Mine got the same problem as well....

I've found using A2DP, even with the same headphone could get some improvement. But the sound is still far from GOOD.

Still remember few years ago there could be tweaks to enhance the DSP thread efficiency...or priority....can't remember now....any expert could give us some hints??

The solution in my case:

Connect the headset - Turn Off the "Audio Booster" (or if it's off right now, turn on and OFF) - Press "Done"(!!!) - Disconnect the headset - Reconnect again - Start the Music Player - You have BASS. If you'd like to use the audio booster you can already turn on that.
It's a little bit weird, but maybe a ROM update solve it.

Sorry SecureGSM....JointStereo set to "0" was to do with A2DP problem....not our case.....thanks anyway

Tried vax6's solution....also works for me...thanks vax6

Notes to other users: make sure you press DONE not x or <- to turn off AudioBooster.....I know...vax6 said that, I just didn't pay attention
