I was just wondering which combination of kernal and rom would produce the best audio quality? From stock kernal and KE7 the quality was awful... No matter what headphone/earphone I used it will be very quiet and unclear. Now on villain rom and niphetamine 2.1.3 it is louder and slightly clearer but still not as good as I would expect compared to my old Nokia N96 in terms of clearness and loudness. I have heard that different combinations of kernal and rom produce better music quality so which kernal and rom would be the best?

I understand that the phone has a yamaha DAC which can't be compared to wolfson but surely I think the capabilities of the phone should be greater than this in terms of music play back...
 
My old LGO2x had a wolferson chip but the audio quality was super cr*p:mad: when compared to the Sammys Yamaha. Looks like a hardware issue.
