Unfortunately I am not going to be able test any further for about 3 weeks. My fast port adapter has just developed a problem whereby it will not reconise the headphones intermittently. Its definately a hardware problem with the phone. So I've sent it off for repair which means about 3 weeks wait.

I may be wrong, but I think the farfield play / ring is the general output of the speakerphone perhaps? And earphones? Not too sure. All I know, ring is responsible for the ringtone quality/volume, and play is the phone's regular media player.

On the subject of the phone's acoustics... is there a file in the acoustic folder that is responsible for the call volume? The earpiece volume is a bit low and I'd like to know if there is a louder file (ie. W810i's) to replace the K750i's /W800's with.

Has anyone checked if loading older "acoustic" version re-enables m4a support?

EDIT: Tried it already and it did not. Wonder where in the system it is hidden..

ULTIMATE SOUND DRIVER

FINAL Version BETA

http://rapidshare.de/files/24819277/PHF_2_play.apf.html

This driver is based on the W900 driver

NO hissing during playback-not even little
NO hissing when connecting the headphones
Loudness improved
Awesome MEGABASS

Its just amazing.........it seriously conquers the iPod with this driver. Everybody's got to try this driver to believe it.

It needs some more work...will finish it when I have the time.

A BIG THANK YOU for mongoose3800 for endless hours of testing.......this could'nt have been done if it was'nt for mongoose3800 finding the PHF file.....

Enjoy all,
Akshay

Yes this solution is great! Although the speaker still has a loud hiss but I don't mind because I practically always use my earphones. The hiss through the earphone has been greatly reduced but I can't say it's 100% gone... Great solution anyway!

Hi,

I done some test and I must say that problems described bellow are not anymore. Crackles are also on R1B and R1L drivers so it's nature on Walkman player not the driver. Hanging problem also happens on oroginal drivers so again it's not the problem of driver but player. I found this could be problem with mp3 tagging. So... I must say this: BETA driver is really nice!

---

I've tried latest BETA solution on my W800i (R1BD001) and found strange problem with one of my mp3 files placed on memory card. This mp3 is composed by my friend so I make it public available on:

http://rapidshare.de/files/24850898/Climber_-_RedLines.mp3.html

So... there are 2 problems. When I set this mp3 as a ringtone I good hear crackles - inaudible on firmware R1B and R1L. The second worst problem is when I want to add this mp3 to playlist in WalkmanPlayer - the phone HANGS immediately! It look like this:

1. I choose the file
2. From menu I select Add to playlist function
3. Sequence of black and white screens
4. Phone returns to main screen and searching for telecomunication provider
5. Phone working good - no problems found

Add to playlist function doesn't worked - mp3 file is not on the playlist.

And the last strange problem - when I select "compositions" from WalkmanPlayer menu:
- Now playing
- Performers (I have polish menu so I don't exactly know the real name)
- compositions (same as above)
- Playlists
- Video

the phone is showing list of all mp3/ringtones founded in memory, when I scroll down and when name of this unlucky mp3 has to appear on screen the phone HANGS in the same way as above. But this isn't rule - sometimes (rarely) it work good and I can select this file and play it :|

Thanks a lot Akshay !
Your final beta version is working remarkably well:
- Hissing noise is almost gone when using the headphones (though still very noticeable when using the speaker).
- Megabass works very well for me and sound is very clear, at least for my personal taste.
I will test thoroughfully the new driver tonight but it really looks awesome.
SE engineers should take good note of Akshay's good work (and probably feel somehow embarrased for not beeing able to provide us with such a neat solution)

A slightly updated version......its basically a R1N035 with a re-written code to try to improve high volume performance.

Will try to rectify the loudspeaker hiss.

just loved the way it made my phone sound great the mp3s are now good, even at high volumes i combined the first file and the w900 play2.apf and the walkman player never sounded this good.
the hiss on the loudspeaker really doesn't bother me, playing mp3s through loudspeaker just makes me recharge within a day. great work still, as i mostly llisten from my earphones

Further to my previous post, after playing for a while with the final beta driver I can confirm that hissing noise is gone and overall sound quality is very good, only a little distortion at highest volume (I will try your latest driver later on, Akshay). Hissing when using the speaker is not really an issue imho.
It is also very interesting to see that the crackle noises in between the songs also seem to have dissapeared. Well done Akshay !

I've got "Final beta" in my K750i for almost two days now, meaning I listened to music and radio for almost 6 hours.
I can definitely say that the small, not so often happening, hissing sound I had has disappeared.
Gone also the cracking sound while switching from one file to another!

Thank you so much!!!
