Re: HTC Audio Manager + Audio Booster = no boosting

Thanks man. After doing comparisons a week ago, I actually started using Pocket Player. Pretty satisfied.

I use Ultimate Ears super.fi 4's, so they're naturally light on bass. The bad thing is that in comparison to the Audio Manager + Audio Booster combo, I had to sit and listen and tweak the EQ and the Multi-DSP (Bass + 3D on audio booster v Bass Boost + Surround + EQ on pocket player) to get close to the same sound. Pocket Player still clips bass, but it is acceptable.

I had been using GSPlayer for ShoutCast streaming on my HTC Wings S730, so it is good that I don't have to use an additional program.

With this post, I was hoping that people had or wanted to spend more time on getting the AM + AB combo actually working. I'm confused why it wouldn't from the start, but the EQ is probably dependent on an audio driver that isn't included in the audio booster package.


Anyway... thanks!

OH yea... have you seen XStreamXM? I also coded up a little web interface for last.fm (it's pretty beta so your patience is appreciated). If you're using it in your car, the skip command (fed to the last.fm servers), stopped working; so a work around is to go "back" which actually reloads the stream and will skip the track.
