A note to all - always, ALWAYS backup your files before you do anything. And always read the pop up boxes in FAR befor you accept a file copy. i.e. it is very easy to make a mistake a copy from the wrong location.

What specific problems are you guys trying to correct with these fixes? The reason I ask is because I *think* I hear more than just hissing at low volumes (see below)... I am not sure if this is what everyone is experiencing and is addressed with these fixes, or if my unit is defective.
When there is no music playing, I hear a constant hiss. When there is music playing I hear this hiss, and also static noises, similar to what you will hear from an FM/AM radio that is not getting perfect signal.
Thanks

DanR - From my perspective it is both. For quite a while I interpreted the noise/hiss issue as being the static type noise you hear when an MP3 is playing - this noise is especially noticeable during pauses in the music or quieter sections. But this just maybe MP3 noise and the sensitivity of the HPM70 Headphones. As I understand it the main hissing issue is the Hiss that is constantly audible when the walkman is on. i.e. you can hear it in the background as soon as you turn on the player. The hissing is really obvious when playing a low volumes. When you apply the R1L drivers there is a definite reduction in the hiss noise but it comes at the price of loss of sound quality at higher volumes. This is where AKSD has been trying find the right mix between both. I'm actually going to test all drivers and combos again as I really hadn't picked up on the hissing in the earlier stages as I don't usually play my music at low volumes. Now, that I'm fully aware of both noises it is really distracting me and I want to try a find which drivers make the greatest improvement. It may take me some time though.

I just finished an extensive test whereby I copied one R1L file at a time into the R1BC drivers to find which file is causing the hissing in the R1BC drivers. With each file I always started with a fresh set of R1BC drivers on the phone. I am 100% sure that I have found the one file that is responsible for the hissing. It is PHF_2_play.apf - no doubt about it. I have tested twice and I have found that adding only the R1L version of PHF_2_play.apf to original set of R1BC drivers makes the hissing almost unoticable. The difference really is dramatic! The Static noises and crackles between songs are also dramatically reduced! Unfortunately, at full volume there is still distortion. BUT, if you don't pump the EQ all the way up the sound seems quite acceptable - probably just as good as the orignal drivers. In fact, if you're like me and like to pump the eq to the max on all settings you may just find that pushing all settings no furhter that full orange will result in the same max volume as the original drivers without the distortion. I now reckon the distortion only happens because PHF_2_play.apf results in louder volume when the EQ is maxed out than the phone can handle.
Everyone, try it. I'd reall like to know what you think. I'm pretty sure this is the best we are going to get and all you need do is copy one file!

I've been really picky about the sound quality through out this exercise. Just to make sure I was sure of what I stated above I just tested several songs back to back at both max and low volume. i.e. original R1BC with EQ set to full versus R1BC with PHF_2_play.apf from R1L and EQ set to full orange (not red). With these settings I don't think I can tell the difference at max volume. And, the low volume improvements are major. I've tested for an hour now and am convinced that what I said above is the best resolution so far for the hissing bug.

@mongoose3800
Kindly provide us with the step by step procedure to do this wherein all that is needed is to copy one file. By the way, is it easy to revert back to original R1BC in case we find something wrong? Thanks mate!

arnarn911: The steps are (at your own risk):
1) Obtain a copy of the original R1L acoustic drivers. AKSD kindly provided a link to them in the 1st post in this thread:
http://rapidshare.de/files/23[....]Acoustic_R1L_and_R1BC.rar.html
2) Connect to your phone with FAR and navigate to ifs/settings/acoustic
3) Backup the entire contents of ifs/settings/acoustic to a suitable location on your computer.
4) Use FAR to copy PHF_2_play.apf from original R1L driver set to ifs/settings/acoustic.
5) exit FAR cleanly, unhook your phone, turn on your phone.
To undo the changes simply copy back your backup copy of PHF_2_play.apf
It's that easy.
