PSP Plugin: Audio Boost 0.0.2b Released

Submitted by greg; February 17, 2010

Blow your speakers and wake the neighbours! Someone released an Audio Boost plugin, which as the name suggests, amplifies your PSP audio output. It's said to give a 30% boost. Download Audio Boost, copy the prx to seplugins, add the appropriate line to vsh/game.txt and reboot. Press HOME+R to enable. Be careful. Download: Audio Boost v0.0.2b - source: qj

i definitely hear a difference. it's louder, but there are bugs. if it's turned up all the way, you dont hear anything. if u go about 5 below max and enable this plugin (home+R) then it will go through headphones and the speakers (awkward) until you change the volume.
ok, rafael, way to FAIL. how do you brick a psp running a plugin from the memory stick? you obviously don't know what you're doing. it's not the plugin's problem, it's you. dont ever post anything like that again. ever. you FAIL.

# nba09king 2010-02-17 18:54

This plugin work perfectly only when you connect you psp to outside source( like a car system). besides that it muffles sounds and it too much bass

# Yourfatness 2010-02-17 18:59

ok sorry about posting again but... i just found out that it's the equilizers in the psp music player that causes the sound to completely shut off when the volume is all the way up.

# Yourfatness 2010-02-17 19:03

ok last bug im posting. this uses a lot of cpu and is not practical for me, as i have to use hold+ to listen, or my psp wont last all day in school. it stutters when i put it on hold!

# MS25 2010-02-17 19:24

Can you bust your PSP's speakers usin this?

# inuyasha555 2010-02-17 19:31

Hole hell, this totally JACKED up the speaker volume! I wonder if it works with headphones. ^.^

# inuyasha555 2010-02-17 19:38

HOLY HELL! This is what I need to MAX out this volume, even with headphones. ^.^

Yourfatness, I noticed SOME of those, the sound only comes from headphones and speakers the moment it's on it's highest, once turned down 1 and back up it works fine, HOLD works fine for me.

And I got a 2200mAh battery, this baby at 100% can last me around 10-13 hours. ^.^

# Spydr 2010-02-17 19:40

I'm using a compitition grade stereo docking station, called a Psyclone. This plug-in worked perfectly, boosting the background bass AND treble. Now Im only having to bump up the sound a notch or two to get the quality I want vs. having to bump it up like 10 times. To reduce the sound I only have to bump it down one or two instead of 10 notches as well. GREAT JOB!!! It works well just on the PSP as well, but I wouldn't want to risk blowing the internal speakers.

# Sorrow 2010-02-17 19:48

Works great on my psp...

# inuyasha555 2010-02-17 19:55

Could this wreck the internal speakers if I'm using it with headphones? :/

# GDofWR420 2010-02-17 20:28

yea i agree i shouldnt even own a psp if he cant get a plugin installed right

# noob 2010-02-17 20:28

new internal speakers cost around 5 bucks

so pop those speakers >;o

# dr. seussicide 2010-02-17 20:31

what sort of competition are your psp speakers in?

# lolcopter 2010-02-17 21:40

Yea... Did you know if you remove the Memory Stick and hard reboot your PSP (aka Pull the battery) It will disable all PRX Plugins?

Just thought I'd let you know... ;)

# javier c 2010-02-17 21:59

good question. anyone?

# luther349 2010-02-17 22:30

yea don't go boosting your speaker unless you wanna start searching for replacements. if you whant blasting audio from your psp connect it with the av cables 2000 models to your radio. or buy one of the many many speaker docks out there.

# rico 2010-02-17 22:40

the speakers and my headphones playing together on my psp

# rico 2010-02-17 22:40

the speakers and my headphones playing together on my psp.

# Jaryth 2010-02-17 22:54

Same problem was Rico, when enabled while listening though headphones, the audio starts playing though the internal speakers too. When disabled, it disabled the internal completely.

# Jaryth 2010-02-17 22:58

as Rico*

Also, despite the problems, plugin does still appear to work.
5.50 GEN-D2

# rico 2010-02-17 23:12

im using gen-D3 , cant really hear a difference

# Decius 2010-02-17 23:18

I've been using this plugin for soo long now, it's one of my all time favourite plugins everyone needs to have! The psp doesn't have the most loudest output in the headphones, I wouldn't exactly use this for your PSP Speakers :\

So using this will really get the use out of your headphones! I enable this in both game and vsh to Pops!

I can't believe this version 1 wasn't on PSP-hacks already?

"the speakers and my headphones playing together on my psp"

Thats intense lol xD I never thought that was even possible :s

# Josh Nezat 2010-02-17 23:44

fucking faggot prx files cannot brick your psp unless they contain malicious code which i reall dont think it does so stop bring a dbag and get a life

# inuyasha555 2010-02-18 00:05

When the plugin is enabled, when going up into the high range, from highest to about 5 dashes down the sound will play from both speakers and headphones.

How to fix it, put the volume down 1 then up 1...
all fixed.

# angelo 2010-02-18 00:10

mkuy9y

# Jaryth000 2010-02-18 00:32

Confirmed to work. Thanks.

Also, for people that do not hear a difference, I'd say this plugin only gives 20-30% of a sound boost... which doesnt mean a WHOLE lot. I mean, its nice, and it is indeed louder, but it would be easy to not hear it.

Take two PSP's, have the plugin running on one, and the other one without. You'll hear the difference.

# oZmighty 2010-02-18 03:41

YESS!! finally... i've been waiting for this for years. Now to only enable homebrew on the Go...

# random~man 2010-02-18 04:27

LMAO pop em xD

# Chris 2010-02-18 05:11

Dis is a cool plugin even if it on give a little difference. But its a start to something bigger.

# Jaymart 2010-02-18 07:13

tryed it last night and it does work but when i enable it it goes mute so u have to turn it down and then back up ands it works. also does any else hear a little static during mp4 view or is it just me? PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

# DB Drag Race 2010-02-18 13:42

Compitition, What are you guys talking about!!! Every year there is a psp sound off in vegas. PSYCLONE makes the best stuff. I ripped out my Kicken door speaker and the two Kicker solo 12in subs in my car and put 1 Psyclone dock stand in there place I can hit like 45db. With this plugin I can maby 51db. I will rock the compititon this year. My grandparents hate it.

PSP sound off compitition forever.

# Chris 2010-02-18 14:21

No it can't

# Galvin Martin Patrick 2010-02-18 15:19

just play your psp on earphones or jack in some fancy speakers... the plug-in is loud enough because they are feeding on your battery

# kosova 2010-02-18 16:05

Can this seplugins brick my psp?
anyone knows

my psp is
slim(3004)
v6.10
1 Gb Mem. Stick

# totalrefill 2010-02-18 16:32

Hahaha @dr.seussicide

Sounds like the plugin was irrelevant because Spydr has a tenacious external speaker system. I'd like to hear from someone who just tests it out of the PSP

# Chuntwurzle 2010-02-18 16:32

Read above!

There is no way this can brick your PSP unless you are a complete dick.

If you manage to brick your psp by installing something like this then you probably deserve it.

# evdawg69 2010-02-18 17:52

to all the people that are asking if this plugin could brick your psp: the only way it could possibly brick it is if was being installed to the flash which its not so u have nothing to worry about

# vance crosby 2010-02-18 18:09

wat the??????i can't find seplug-ins folder on my psp at all where do you find it-where r the specific instructions for this download-will someone please tell me wat to do to get this thing to work?????please

# The Hack 2010-02-18 18:57

the only thing that this plugin did was mute my psp
did i do something wrong
is this the correct line to put in vsh/game
ms0:/seplugins/audioboost.prx 1

# inuyasha555 2010-02-18 19:27

My Computer>Your PSP drive>Right click, create new folder>call it SEPLUGINS, drag it in the folder.

Then make a text document called vsh and add a line that says ms0:/seplugins/audioboost.prx 1

# inuyasha555 2010-02-18 19:28

Try fiddling with the volume, up 1 then down 1. It should work after that.

# theultimatecheese 2010-02-18 19:48

nice plugin, been messing for 1 day now.
definitely soundslouder, but uses up more battery.
wothout this plugin active, dayviewer reads 8 hoursfully charged, and when it's active, it absorbs 3 hours...
also, it is always enabled. it would be nice if it had a disable/enable function.
and when i use headphones, it only goes up to 27, no matter what i do.

# vance crosby 2010-02-18 21:17

thank you inuyasha 555 btw awesome name and love that show too.

# inuyasha555 2010-02-19 00:51

Headphones. ^.^

Although if my PSP has some sort of sound card or anything, I could wreck that. >.<

But nothing yet.

# Manzi Ereje Filibustero 2010-02-19 01:27

i already have this for long but it's kinda bulky. so i don't usually use it.

http://blog.activehome.co.uk/p...

headphones huh? meh i'll dig up some old ones before i plug in my expensive one.

# mark 2010-02-19 11:21

I wanna install this so that I can use this while using my tredmill with headphones because I went from using my iphone which I sold to using my psp again as main music player (only sold iPhone so I could make money) but anyways yea my iPhone was louder through speakers then my psp so this is why I wanna use this mod ! I'll test it out to see how it works.

# mark 2010-02-19 11:37

WOW PERFECT NOW ITS AS LOUD AS MY iPHONE WHEN I PLUG IN A HEADSET OR USE THE EXTERNAL SPEAKERS AND NOW MY 1000 IS LIKE A SLIM THIS IS EXCELLENT WORKS PERFECTLY !

i used it at full volume for about 30 minutes it worked fine but after a few minutes later my psp lagged.the lights off the screen didnt go on and it didnt react.so i pulled out the battery!

# Fotis Koumantzias 2010-02-19 16:50

i found out why it laggs,after a while when the screen get dark it laggs about 30 seconds then it continiuous normal!

# mark 2010-02-19 17:05

THANKS BUDDY I LOVEEEEE BEING LOUD !!!! (THATS WHAT SHE SAID).

# MS25 2010-02-19 19:02

This thing is way too buggy, it lags at random, doesnt work if you try to change the volume, seems to just cut out at times... I dont know about anyone else but I've got a 3000 running 5.03 GEN-C and it's not working that well for me.

# theultimatecheese 2010-02-19 21:45

that's the problem. 5.03 gen-c is largely unsupported, although the plugin seems to run on yours.
most plugins are made for 5.50 or 5.00m33-6,
so you should ask the author to support 5.03.

# Fivefinger 2010-02-20 01:03

this plugin rocks, hands down!!! I have been waiting for this for a very long time, congrats, you have made my day.

# jessica 2010-02-20 03:01

really nice plugins But people wht ever u do - do Carefully the sound is realy good it will blow ur psp SPK .. ;) Enjoy any Ques Pm @ jessica_25@yaho o.com

# Fivefinger 2010-02-20 12:31

The only thing that I would ask is that there be some sort of config file where you can choose to have it work for headphones only or instead of having to enable it with HOME + R you can enable it from start up. Something to think about. Thank you again!

# shutupnerd 2010-02-20 17:10

Its a good prx, but when u come off games an other things u have to restore factory settins.. At leas that's what I do when there's no sound..

# Teek 2010-02-21 10:27

M33 5.00-6 here on a psp-1001.

Just some notes on my experience with this plugin,

-i extracted it to seplugins, and added the following line to both the vsh.txt and game.txt files:
ms0:/seplugins/audioboost.prx 1

-the hold+r thing would conk the sound out and i had to decrease/increase the volume by 1 and it would make sound again.

-after more testing i didn't notice anything, then i started using headphones and i was pretty impressed. To really test this out i had to disable the plugin in the recovery menu, boot into the cfw and then play the mp3. Remembering how the volume was, i then rebooted into the recovery menu, enabled the plugin, went back to the cfw and then played the same mp3. It really is about 20-30% increase in volume with this plugin.

-when i tried this with the headphones, it wouldnt let me reach the top 3 volume bars, but then i figured out whenever i plugged in the headphones the equalizer would switch to pops, so i just hit the music note button to select "none" while my headphones were plugged in, and when it was set to that, the volume bar went all the way to the top.

-with all that done, now i don't think home+r is enableing/disabling this, because the volume seems to stay the same, but you know what that is fine with me because i dont want to have to hit home+r to enable this, i have a hard time hearing so its kind of cool its always enabled via the recovery menu.

-i also notice that it is louder without the headphones, but its hard to say for certian.

-on a reboot after enabling the plugin in the recovery menu i need to change the volume -/+ 1 or else nothing comes out, but after that change, with the plugin enabled i can reboot and its like everything is louder still

-i think home+r is working now because the sound is stopping and i have to lower raise the volume.

-i think when the volume is set to the MAX, as high as it can go, and you reboot, you will have to mess with the volume settings to get it to make sound when you turn the system on again. However, if you reboot it when it is set at MAX-1 (one bar below max volume), then the sound works fine when i reboot it.

i gotta say this is an awesome little plugin that i will definately be using, it needs some small bugs ironed out, but it does what i need: boost the volume. It would be nice to see what else the cool person who made this can do for this plugin, and to them: thanks alot!

# billie 2010-02-22 05:04

AUTHOR,

Please support 5.03 GEN C so we can use this plugin.

Thank you.

# Chris1270 2010-02-22 14:30

I downloaded dis an i use it 4 games and music. I've been running it ever since it came out. And 1 the cool things like is when u press r+home it comes out the head phones n the speakers. So no ppl here me coming lol.

# theultimatecheese 2010-02-22 22:04

after looking at teek's post, i found out he's right.
the volume only goes up to 27 if you use any other sound distortion rather than "none".
and this plugin uses waaaaay too much ram(i think it shorts the battery by 3 hours).
still a nice plugin,though i really wish the author would add an enable/disable function.

# Dark Eagle 2010-02-23 17:40

This thing is pretty awesome. It definitely boosts the sound and is amazing for my Skullcandy headphones. However, it seems to automatically enable when I turn the prx on. It also skips sometimes if I have Hold+ on. Still cool though. Nice work.

# fuck all u who say this shit w 2010-02-23 20:25

yeah ok so this shit wont brick the psp... cool

Great Plugin, Although a disable and enable function would be nice you can always just go to plugins and disable it there =D, I now use it occasionally but I'm still a little etchty about it blowing my speakers.

# Sunnbuzz 2010-02-28 07:02

Its not the cost of the speakers its a PIA to take it apart the PSP and put it back together. My husband insisted on changing out his broken headphone jack, I wanted to did it for him cause I'm good with small electronics but he has a head like a brick and now he has a PSP to match. ;) He woke me up saying I've got NO VIDEO on my PSP -LOL, I wonder if his new headphone jack works though... LMAO, He should have let me do it !

This is a very interesting plugin the sound really boosts but i think they were made that way in their original state for a reason so in my opinion original state is better in this sound matter, plus by activating wma playback and flash player really helps to increase the sound...this plugin distorts a lot the original high quality sound

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.
