Hey Everyone,

Coming over from a blackberry. The sound on the Maxx hd sounds different than the blackberry, but to me almost worse. The vocals are way toned down. This happens on Pandora as well as on songs I transferred over. Anyone else experiencing this?
 
Yeah, it's pretty fricken stupid IMO. Go into your settings>sound. At the bottom there's the music effects or something, just click on wired stereo or headset, and turn off the equalizer. I believe that's the path on ICS. It's Google's 3D stereo stuff that completely toned down the vocals. Not sure why it's on by default. It absolutely ruined my music and I hated my phone until I figured it out. Hope this helps you
 
Awesome! Thanks!

Yeah I just don't get it, it's like they want us to listen to music with their crap trashy music ruining presets.

Anyway here's what I've found, you have to go into Google Play music and start playing a song. Once it's playing, hit the menu button and open equalizer, it'll be there. Seems to be universal across every player, so once you disable it, you won't have to worry about it on any third party music app.

Will it work on Youtube videos?
 
Yeah it seems like they just hid the equalizer into Google Play for some reason rather than the sound settings. I can understand everything just fine with it disabled.

I must be doing something wrong because I don't see it in my menu options under Play Music. Am I looking at the right app?
 
Thanks Xelios...I actually was playing a song as you said, but somehow ended up in the playlist whose menu is different. I haven't quite figured out this thing out. I can get songs to play, but that about it. That's why I hang out on this forum. :)
