Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

I can't quite say that... I don't know about your headphones, but I get distorsions only on low end headphones like the stock headphones or on other crappy bud-ear type. On my Sony & beats, the sound is crystal clear.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

No, not quite, this is the last and best version. Check the changelog. No further development can be made, one, because I no longer have an N900, and two, because I don't think you can mod the pulse-audio better without rewriting it completely.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

Skip that part, if it's not working, please skip!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

I didn't quite understand what is your problem, please rephrase that :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

Yes, there's not possible relation between those two. Considering this, a reflash should solve the SIM card problem, but it's not solving it, so it's a hardware issue. This piece of software can only break your internal speaker or your headphone, that the maximum damage it can do, and I think I solved that problem :).

Cheers.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

I would like to be able to improve the audio output of the handset, but I'm not sure I'm prepared to risk the outcome of using the script.

Needs a bit more work, methinks with maybe a UI and a limiter in the script so it's not so easy to take it above a safe limit.

But having said that I've actually come across some docking stations that are so p*ss weak that listening to audio via the N900's speakers is way higher than going through the docking station.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

would be nice a gui , but the the bass boost is too much for the headphones , even the beats ones , it distorts heavy compared to stock mafw

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

A limiter function is active inside the script file. There is no such thing as a SAFE LIMIT. That limit is set by your hearing. If you like loud, the limit is higher, otherwise, the limit should be lower. Beats audio require a high sound output, if you use low end headphones there is no need for this script. But if you have both, keep the volume down, don't crank it up to 100% and then come here and cry.

I added that warning just because I felt the need to WARN the people that, the device is already old, so the speakers resistance is not like in the first day, there's dust in there now, maybe the rubber is not that strong anymore, and they can break them if they expose them to higher output.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

Please post your headphone model. I think I tested it out on Beats and there were no distorsions...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

Did anyone tried out this with a REAL Beats headphone? I borrowed a Detox Pro... But I don't wanna install anything ****. I use a script for 20% louder sound, this causes distortsion on the speakers, but works very well with Sony HPM-70... I have never got the original earbuds.
So what's the quality after installing?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

I was under the impression that the script had the potential to wreck the speakers of the N900.
The headphones I use at the moment are Philips SHN5500.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

i'm sorry, but where is driver?
i see only many text files inside deb.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

They seem good, after seeing the specs...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

I would like to present to you a little script I did for myself that I called Beats Audio Driver. SCRIPT > GIVEN NAME > BEATS AUDIO DRIVER.

I said it's a script, didn't you read?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

thx for your replay , i don't know what happend to my sim card but i went to my service provider and changed the old sim by new one and it works good right now
i'm working now by the driver and it's really good when ur in the street and you wanna make call at a loud place
thanks for your effort man ?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

You're welcome!

Your SIM card maybe got demagnetized. It's a commont problem that most of SIM cards have. I work sometimes near large speakers (being a DJ as a hobby) and I sometimes place the phone on the large speakerbox, unintentionally, and the after a while the SIM card refuses to work and shows me weird messages on screen like: INACTIVE SIM, and stuff like that. I go to my service provider, get a new sim, and voila working like new. I keep all my contacts, calendar and stuff like that on Google. But this happend with my Sony U5, with my HTC, but... unfortunately, my N900's GSM chip is dead for good, and it's no SIM problem.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

Can you explain to me what this is?

I know beats headphones, the overpriced tat endorsed by by that 90's pop star. I know they have started branding mobile phones.

Can you explain what this is in terms of what it actually does?

Is it a MAFW equaliser plugin with a certain equalisation curve?

Is it a pulse audio plugin? Is it pulse audio configuration files?

What exactly does your script do?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

The Pulseaudio configuration files provided in the package are completely obscure to me, but doing a few quick tests, it configures Pulse's EQ for each output sink to be similar to those on Beats Audio devices (HTC phones).

The Beats sound is characterized by how fat the bass range sounds, which for phone speakers seems to improve the audio output (as it compensates for tiny speakers having nil bass).

However, testing the Beats Audio settings on my N900 wired up to a Schiit Magni and Grado SR125i, it's immediately obvious that if you're not a basshead/avid fan of Skrillex, you'll dislike how skewed the reproduction is.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

Thanks Hurrian, that is what I wanted to see.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

Thank you for this test. May I use your image in the 1st post?

Also, can you generate a graphic with the freq response of the N900 jack output compared with the graphic you posted?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

You can make your own graphs here.

The N900's jack doesn't have a frequency response measurement, it's not a transducer.

I think that instead, a better measurement would be to measure its' effect on the frequency response of a "reference" headphone.

(Anyone willing to go to Headroom to compare their N900, with and without the Beats tweak, to a neutral-sounding DAC+amp both hooked up to say, a Sony MDR-V6?)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

I was thinking about hooking up the N900 to an audio analyzer software via Line in, play a track with freq's between 1 and 35.000 Hz, and generate a graphic with the frequency output levels and noise level for each section.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

To be honnest, this is one of the greatest idea available on the Nokia N900. I don't know if it's possible but someone could work on a script to allow skiping tracks by holding volume button when the slide is closed (I don't know if this Idea has been proposed yet, but it would be very useful).
ANYWAY THANKS A LOT FOR THIS SCRIPT.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

Trust me, this is not a good ideea, the N900 have a lots of volume steps, and it's much easy to go from low volume to high by holding that button, and not going step by step. Also the shake for next previous is another system that can cause problems in the pocket.

I don't know. For me it seems like a bad idea.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

yay! Okay thanks for your point of view. I Switched from Android to the N900, and this feature is available in Android, (in modded rom) and is very useful, cause you don't have to unlock the phone (it stays just in your pocket) to skip music tracks. I thought it would be useful for the n900 as well! But thanks for you answer.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

Right now I can finally give a final grade to this mod, as a developer, because I own a mobile device with Beats Audio Hardware Amplifier:

-Beats Audio for Android: It's most of the times just a themed version of DSP Manager from Cyanogen since the hardware is not capable of supporting the driver ported from HTC Devices running Android. Sound quality is quite good on android with DSP Manager, but it's not Beats, so on higher bass boost you get lots of distortions. The DSP Manager lacks a limiter, so damage can be done to your speakers.

-Beats Audio for N900: It modifies the internal pulse audio configuration to match 80% the frequency output of a beats audio driver, but pulse audio lacks fine tuning, so you may get distortions on low end headphones/headsets. Not like Android, I added a hardware limiter for the speakers so you can't overload them and burn them (since they are very sensible). So in my opinion Beats Audio development on N900 is much more advanced than Android. But as I said, you might still get distortions.

What is Beats Audio hardware. Now that own a device with Beats Audio Hardware i can finally understand why you can't match exactly the same output and sound quality. As your TV, DVD have a SRS digital audio processor inside, exactly like this is the Beats working. The Beats is not a software (or maybe you have just a gui), it's a hardware chip just like the SRS. When trying to add all the processing power in one software you will get awful performance (SRS software on my 2.0 Core2Duo, keeps the CPU up to 50% while in use of the audio sink). So this is the most we can do, more fine tuning than this is no more possible.

P.S. Beats audio (the original devices with hardware built-in) doesn't work on internal speaker or via AD2P, so the development on N900 is still in front! :)

As for those functions, I think the one who is going to develop them must have access to the following function: THE KEYS MUST WORK AS MEDIA CHANGE ONLY WHEN SCREEN OFF, otherwise they must work as a volume rocker.

Here are some screenshots:

Attachment 32479

Attachment 32480

P.S.S. Even on Windows Phone, the volume rocker don't work as a media next or media previous. That function is only on some custom ROM's and some Sony-Ericsson Devices (my K850i does that).

So not in repo yet? :confused:

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

I also want to see it in the repos 'cause I wanna test it, but I'm too lazy to copy all files and work with the terminal ;)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

it'd be better, if possible to develope some surround sound etc like other phones have. yeha i agree with this driver but quality also is needed please. is anyone working on that?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

I would like some one to make a deb file of the final verion to install. My N900 sounds way better.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Beats Audio Port for N900 PulseAudio
 

dude deb is already available somewhere just search it and V2.0 is rar


deb is here - talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1342087&postcount=39
