Ok got some bad news and some good news.
The bad news:
The Speakers on the n900 sucks...I mean it sucks so terribly that you can't possibly have high sound quality at high volume levels, while maintaining speed and performance. Alsa mixer is a mess also, some values are inverted in some places. Meaning if you increase levels in one area, quality is decreased in another. And values that should increase quality in one area, actually decreases it. Alsa mixer also calls on some drivers that simply don't exist, like cd drivers and lenova drivers?
In my deperate attempt to solve the sound quality issue, I ignored javispedro's warning and disabled xprot....which really made sound quality phenomenal. However in the process it muted my right speaker. So I may now have to get my n900 replaced (lol?)....The irony here is that I was actually trying to make the patches safer for other users
The good news (although not so good):
I have a patch that is now safer to use, meaning it would not burst the n900 speakers. However sound quality is slightly lower through the n900 speakers only. Everything else however sounds louder and better; headphones, tv out, bluetooth, ear piece etc. It should also double the battery life, make the device more responsive and increase speed.
I would upload the new patch later, and because I know some people are curious to know what each file does and targets (speakers, headphones etc), I would try to come up with a guide so you could edit the values yourself without damaging the device. Manual labour is always better....Actually I may just write the guide only...since the patch seemingly does not work for some people...I'll have to decide later.
To others that tested my earlier patches, thanks for all the feed backs
, however I highly recommend that you restore your default drivers and forget that my patches ever existed. You really don't want to have muted speakers, trust me...I would also remove my previous patches, for safety reasons.
