My Beats Audio icon is no longer being displayed during playback I bought an HTC One X and when I first started using it whenever I played audio I would have a little red Beats Audio icon shown in my notification bar. When you pulled the bar down it would list the item and say "Beats Audio enabled" and when you touched it, it would turn it off and on.

Recently it seems to have stopped being displayed. This is on all audio, so music from the htc music app, Youtube, and Deezer (a music streaming app).

Does anyone have any ideas on what's happened to it, if it's a known bug or if there is an obtuse setting hidden somewhere that I can try to see if I've turned it off by accident.

I have had a poke through the settings and can't see anything obvious. I am running TasKiller but I would assume that running an audio app would kick off the app.
I got a reply from HTC technical support. Make of it what you will, I've asked the lady to clarify what she means as I don't understand her Engrish.

Apologies for the formatting, the HTC support portal strips everything! :facepalm:

So, in order to see the icon again. 


You need to plugin a headset/headphones
Drag down your notifications bar, and hit 'Settings'
Click on 'Sound'
You'll notice the 'Sound enhancer' menu is now not greyed out
Tap this and you'll then get a choice of 'Sound enhancers' to use


Confirmed as working for me.
