Driver files description:
  • bta2dp.parameters - AD2P Audio Sink
  • btmono-hfp.parameters*- HFP Bluetooth Sink
  • btmono-hsp.parameters*- HSP Bluetooth Sink
  • hp.parameters*- In Call Sink
  • ihf.parameters*– N900 Amplified Speakers Sink

!!!WARNING!!! N900 internal speaker system is very fragile, so I've added a protection filter on this file. "xprot" filter adds a limiter protection for the speakers output, so the speakers won't be any louder, just more clear. If you want to make them louder, please disable the "xprot", but I can tell you you will regret your decision!

Opening the files with a note pad editor you would find several lines relating to Boolean operations; I’ll try to explain what each does:
x-maemo.aep - Enables audio boost 
x-maemo.nrec - Background music quality
x-maemo.nb_eeq - Turns up the tweeter system
x-maemo.nb_meq - Also turns up the tweeter (Stage 2)

x-maemo.wb_meq - Also turns up the bass (Stage 2)
x-maemo.stereo-widening -  Stereo Widening

Beats Audio Driver Control

GST Render modified to modify Beats Audio Driver - Equalizer

After you install the package, "MAFW Equalizer" applet appears in the Control Panel, providing access to the 10-band equalizer, as well as a number of preset settings like e.g. Rock, Treble, Bass, Hall, etc. You can create and save your own presets, too.

In order to install the equalizer, extract the .deb file, send it to your N900 and save it somewhere (e.g. in MyDocs) and then:
  • open the X Terminal
  • type "sudo gainroot" to become root (requires rootsh package)
  • type "cd /home/user/MyDocs"
  • type "dpkg -i gst*"
  • type "apt-get remove mafw-gst-renderer"
  • reboot your N900.

WARNING! When typing a command please remove the "".
