No matter what ICS VM leak ROM I install, DSP Manager and Equalizer apps from the market do not work (even on the ROMs with DSP built in). The app runs, but the sound does not change when I change settings. On GB ROMs, the sound changes were dramatic, but on ICS, nothing.

On that note, when I enable or disable Beats, I hear an electronic popping sound (like plugging in a guitar with the amp already on), but the sound does not change. Again, on GB, the sound would change markedly between enabling or disabling Beats.

I did find a thread from the Sensation Q&A with a similar problem, but no viable solutions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457179
This thread also has attempts at fixes, but they do not seem to work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494099&page=5

Anyone else experiencing this and/or anyone have any fixes? ICS sounds a lot better than GB by default, but I still like to adjust things myself.

If I am not mistaken you can only have dsp or beats installed. I know on cm9-DevilToast-0.6.1-shooteru dsp works and its system wide. Currently running that ROM now so I know it works.

Ok, thank you for the information... But I'm looking for the "how to make it works". Mainly because I have a Samsung Galaxy S II and not a HTC Evo 3D :)

I assume you have not found anything in your galaxy sII forums?

Have you tried flashing the dspmanager.zip?

I saw my old thread and was surprised :D

So, to follow up with my latest findings. The mods from coolexe work well with the sense based version of the ICS leak. Problem solved with that mod.

For pepe, if you don't find anything in the s2 forums, you could try to pm coolexe and see how he did it or if he would be able and willing to port it.
