SRS WOW HD sound for vogue
 

I have SRS WOW HD sound working on my Vouge/Touch with 6.1 -- sort of.

Read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355913

Unfortunately it only works through my S9 bluetooth headset -- sounds excellent. I have not figured out the reg edits to get sound working everywhere else.

I'm hoping someone can give me some help.

Here's what I have installed from the thread above:

Please view the read me file which is cut and paste from XDA.


Here's some info on SRS WOW HD:

SRS WOW HD is designed to deliver the best quality sound for stereo or mono media played back over stereo or mono speaker systems and headphones. It is based on SRS Labs’ award-winning SRS WOW technology which is featured in the Microsoft Windows Media Player and licensed by hundreds of digital audio player, television, and consumer electronics manufacturers worldwide. SRS WOW HD goes a step beyond WOW by delivering a new purity to
sound with a cleaner, livelier audio quality, advanced bass enhancement for fatter low frequency bass and an incredibly innovative “center” control to place center information (such as vocals or musical instruments) in the stereo mix in the forefront or toward the back, in a delicate balance with the 3D stereo width control. This patented dual control of the stereo image truly delivers the industry’s best stereo audio enhancement technology.


As I mentioned, the only sound working for me is through bluetooth. Uninstalling the cab restores sound.

Thanks for any help. This seems like it could be a great upgrade if someone could get it working properly.

Here's the files posted in the first post of the XDA thread. Its different from what I attached above.

I am so frustrated at not being able to make this work. I found another thread on XDA that talked about playing with the "order" key in the registry. I tried values from 1 thru 16 but it made no difference. I also noticed that people are saying the SRS driver works correctly in the "almost OEM" 6.1 ROM. I'm guessing that means that something that was installed there was part of the answer? I've tried a few things (netCF, nueAudio) with no luck. I've also tried swapping in different audioparms.csv files, but again no luck.

I'm surprised this is proving so difficult.

...or, maybe not enough of us use it.

Re: SRS WOW HD sound for vogue
 

I am convinced that this can work. Post number 111 on the xda thread linked above shows that this is working with a Sprint Touch, however it does not say what ROM version; also, it plays clearly through my bluetooth but kills the sound everywhere else. Therefore, I think it has something to do with the registry settings that point the sound from the rest of the phone to the proper driver? Just haven't found what that is -- unless it is the Wavedev settings themselves. I too tried changing the order entry but that didn't help. My next step - when I have time - is to try different versions of the SRS software.

Another possible approach, if it is truly working on the almost oem ROM, is to figure out what the differences are. That could be the key to understanding.

I think if enough smart people working on this, we can solve the puzzle. I wish my tech abilities were greater - I just consider myself a power user/hobby guy.

I think the benefits of the software are great enough so that it should be possible to get more people working on a solution that should work for all future Touch/Vogue roms. That's what this thread is about.

I wonder if we can get a hold of the original wavedev.dll (pre leaked 6.1) and drop it into the Windows DIR...maybe something changed in the driver between 6.0 and 6.1

Simply post a reply to one of these posts and before clicking the submit reply button just add an attachment with the file as a zip or rar.

works like magic.

Re: SRS WOW HD sound for vogue
 

Which version is this? I tried v1.28.5.0 about a month ago and it would work on everything but my bluetooth headset.

Re: SRS WOW HD sound for vogue
 

Ok, I tried every version of SRS WOW HD I could find with the 6.1 leaked sprint ROM. To make a long story short, they all work through bluetooth headset but kill the sound on the rest of the phone.

I then flashed to dharvey46451's nicely though-out almost oem 6.1 rom (verstion 2.1) located here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=26776. I can confirm that SRS WOW HD is works great, as does the advanced control panel.

I extracted the wavedev.dll from dharvey's rom and am attaching it here. Someone please try pasting into the windows folder of the sprint 6.1 leaked rom.

Let us know how it goes.

Also, I am also attaching every version of the SRS software I found (all from the xda thread).

I note that the almost oem rom is based off of build 19209.1.0.2. It seems to be created from the ppcgeeks kitchen.

I am seriously considering flashing my own rom off of the same build. After trying out the almost oem rom, I do not see any considerable benefits of staying with the leaked rom at this time.

Nevertheless, I will continue to help with attempting to find a solution to the problem. I am certain that future ROMS can benefit if the compatibility problem can be solved.

Good idea, but no luck. The wavedev.dll on the device is part of the ROM and can't be replaced, even by total commander. Even so, the size of the two wavedev files is exactly the same, so it seems to be due to something else.

Nice idea though!

Re: SRS WOW HD sound for vogue
 

You can copy over rom files. I successfully copied a wavedev.dll file from my old apache onto my vogue while experimenting with this issue. Its not hard. Just use task manager, go to the properties of the file you want to overwrite and uncheck read only. You have to tap it twice to completely clear the check mark.

You also might not want to unzip the file until you copy it to your device. Activesync prolly wont let you copy a dll file unless is zipped.

Re: SRS WOW HD sound for vogue
 

Has anyone else had success replacing the Wavedev?

Re: SRS WOW HD sound for vogue
 

I was finally able to replace the wavedev file, but the results are the same - no speaker sound with SRS installed.

Re: SRS WOW HD sound for vogue
 

I took the plunge and cooked a rom with the 19209 base. I am very happy with the rom and srs wow is working perfectly. gps is working faster than with leaked too.

Re: SRS WOW HD sound for vogue
 

smellEdawg, mind posting your rom?

Re: SRS WOW HD sound for vogue
 

I'll see if I can find some time to figure out how to do this over the weekend. (I used build os from ppckitchen.org. I've never tried to physically get my kitchen files from this software before).
