I am using one of pershoot kernels but the audio gain boost is driving me crazy the BT headset is unusable because it's too loud and also the speaker even at the lower volume set.
So I ask if there's another Kernel that have support for Froyo and 720P video recording without that audio gain hack?
Thanks !
Enomther's ROM has one that can be installed through SpareParts.
Cool, I will check it out.
This volume thing is too loud for me.
Check the sticky in the developer forum... There is a list of five our so kernels with links. I have had great luck with Wildmonks no-audio boost kernels.
Awesome! Thanks for the suggestions.
What exactly through difference between pershoots and wildmonks kernel? Other the no audio boost.

I rooted my Nook to CM7 a week or two ago using what was the latest stable build at the time. I also tried to install dalingrin's OC kernal so I could reamp the volume and make it louder. I have since been told that kernal won't work with the stable build that I used, only the nightlies. So, is there another way to do it? I am not really concerned with over clocking at this point. I just need to be able to hear the dang speaker.

I really would just update to the next nightly or wait a bit for 7.1 to be released. We are mostly in a feature freeze at the moment so the nightlies are stable.
If you decide to go for a nightly then I'd suggest you wait for nightly 132, which should be out tonight.

And when you get that, install the Nook Tweaks app which allows you to boost the audio.
How well does this work? I've only tried using an eq to try and boost the audio with horrible results.

As good as it gets. With my app you can actually adjust the DAC and analog gain. So you can increase the volume and increase the sound quality.
Another app to look at would be Volume+. It's free on the market, and works beautifully at making the nooks speaker loud enough to be heard.

I used one of the apps that came with cyanogenmod 7... I think you can control the "phone" volume with nook tweak... You can overall gain sound by a LOT till you blow your speakers ( I used 40% boost), but you have to reduce your lowest bass and highest treble (left most column, and right most column) in the program where you can change the bass boost and equalizer? (Starts with a D.... )
Turn off bass boost too......
Hope That helps.
Some said it worth buying since it has nice effects (like Beats emulator etc), but it generated much sound distortion while using it.. I also have DSPManager (I turned it off when I used Volume+) and it has much clearer sound! So, is it just me, or it really doesn't worth its price?
I like volume+ better since it has the ability to amplify the phone speaker sound (which DSP manager can't do.)
If you're getting distortions, maybe you're putting in too much bass?
I think voodoo sound is much better if you are talking about boosting headset.. and its free if you use kernels which has merged the voodoo control codes. If not, there's the paid plus version but only works for stock kernels.

voodoo plus works with any kernel. the app loads the sound modules it self. you only need to have root.

I have tried voodoo plus on some beta custom kernels before, it won't install the drivers needed to run because of it detects incompatible kernel. Just sharing my experience..
LilProphet:
DSP manager is better than any sound enhancement app I've ever tried, so if you're listening to music through headphones then I'd definitely recommend DSP. It also really depends on what kind of music you listen to, I know for fact that it works wonderfully with house, dubstep, hardstyle and hip-hop. Just the genres that require some nice bass boost
But I never really listened to music through the phone's speakers, so I cannot say whether or not DSP is better than the rest there.
And no, xilv3r, there's a whole bunch of kernels it does not support

Im using MusicFX for a week now, and it has much clearer and powerful bass boost! Give it a try, its free.

I'm building a new ROM for my new Xperia Z right now mainly for even better audio quality. However, it'll take a while as I plan to try rebuilding audio driver library file for lower latency. Right now I'm on vacation staying at my parents' house so I decided to build this sound mod for Samsung WM8994 devices instead since I have good chance to reunite with all of them right now.
FidelityXAudio is based from PureXAudio for Xperia Z/ZL made by ZeroInfinity. I asked him for permission to derive his works with mine for all-in-one sound mod I plan to release for various devices that support Alsa driver. For this first release, it'll support Nexus S, Galaxy S, Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Tab 10.1 and all variants. Installing this mod will give you the following features below.
Features:
Rooted & Busyboxed - This will replace current root and Busybox with latest SuperSu and Busybox. Since most root access for Xperia Z I tested are so unreliable getting bootloop after mounting system rw, I'll force better ones in this package to avoid that problem.
exFAT support - If you're using Android JellyBean ROM but still not have exFAT support yet, this may help you getting one. It works for Xperia Z/ZL but haven't tested for others yet.
init.d support - This isn't cheap recovery flash init.d script. It'll execute init.d script with root access from hardware boot script level so it works far better than conventional ones for locked bootloader running stock kernel.
Xperia Fidelity script - It's ultimate sound quality mod script I've been developing for years. Not only get you better sound reproduction but also make your system smoother as well.
PureXAudio engine - As FidelityXAudio is based on PureXAudio mod, most PureXAudio features are availble except audio effects and specific sound card stuff. I may consider adding them back later though.
Low latency tweaks - My tweaks inside PureXAudio for lower latency Alsa configuration. Not sure how much of it works though as real measured hardware latency won't change without modifying driver.
Mastering 64-bit quantization - The most accurate 64-bit floating point quantization in Android. I usually end it with 32-bit integer mode but this sounds better for crazy upsampling level.
DSD128 audio processing at 5.6MHz - This will give you high resolution audio simulation. The real sampling rate will still be 44.1KHz but with 128x upsampling for audio processing before downmixing is really something.
Fidelity nVIDIA audio configuration - Optimized for more direct bitstream with lower latency. Only for Tegra devices though.
Removed DSPManager for more solid audio performance - This mod breaks DSPManager in CM ROM so no point in keeping it and you probably won't need it anyway after hearing sound with this mod.
Download: PureXAudio v1
You can't flash this on other devices as it can break audio with incompatible sound card configuration. I tested on my Nexus S, Galaxy S, Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Tab 10.1 and they're all working fine. Guess not many people still use them nowadays but they're great ones for sound quality wise. I'll update again for APQ8064 based devices in next version after releasing new Xperia Z ROM.
Wait I'm trying it will report back soon:thumbup:

Yes i tried on a JellyBean 4.2.2 Rom and it is working well :good::good:
Don't know if its a placebo but I seem to be able to crank up the volume much higher now before it starts to sound distorted, on lower volumes I cant hear any difference
anyway thanks for the mod will start using it daily and probably damage my ears :laugh:

Huh?.. can you speak up.. I can't hear you over this great mod!!
someone please reup this, thanks
Will this mod work alongside voodoo sound, or is it an alternative?
It works alongside with Voodoo Sound. Actually, I added my own Voodoo Sound tweaks as well. Some may not like it but that's what I prefer.

What headphones/earphones/speakers do you usually use with your devices?
This information is useful for me. Thanks! :good:
I used to try all in market years back but now I don't really care much even R10/Orpheus failed to make my desire go wild now.
My current favorite earphone is Martin Logann Mikros 70. Not very bang for bucks but easy to wear with mic and bass sounds like speakers with dynamic driver in that long housing.
My current speakers is Rockport Ankaa. I like it more than its newer Avior models.
hello I flash this but I don't think is working for me..i don't find any different ...
I install busybox again with busybox.apk is ok ??
If you already use other soundmods, maybe it's possible that this won't work. Otherwise, I don't see any reason why not as I already included root/busybox/init.d stuff.

I don't use other soundmod.. I don't know maybe I don't understand the sound ... for busybox I install 1.21.0 ..
It works on JellyShot 4.2.1 v1.3? I flash it with CWM? I have Voodoo sound... It works fine too?
i'm sure that you will make this face when I tell you that i'm using CyanogenMod 7.2...
... so the question: it's only for 4.2.2 roms or it will work with every android os?
Should there be an app to control this?
Me Gusta!
I would like to gauge how many people have had problems with their Nexus 6 speakers. Many have reported a crackling from either speaker at certain instances (myself included). One easy way to test this for yourself is to play the stock ringtone "Ganymede" at full volume and you should be able to tell if there are any issues. It is also evident that my top speaker crackles at various time throughout a call. Basically I'm trying to figure out if all of these devices are like this or if I'm being picky (I've already done an RMA and my replacement device has the same issue). Here is a good demonstration of what I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dcElCL9u3w
My speakers sound just fine at full volume playing Ganymede. I'm not running stock though. Rooted and running 1/20/2015 Chroma ROM, Franco #9 kernel with vomer tweaks/ quad conservative.

I seem to get some popping and crackling at full volume, depending on content. Also, the stereo balance seems off, the speaker at the top of the phone sounds louder.

I guess I've just chalked the issue up to hardware. It happens on stock for both the original and replacement device, as well as CleanROM with Franco kernel. Does Chroma have any audio changes that you know of? I'm not too familiar with Vomer tweaks either. Maybe I'll try another ROM.
Audio FX is all I know. Check out the log. Great ROM, awesome developer and a good community in the forum.

Hey guys,
I was looking for a good quality mp3 player recently to use with my entry level ATHm20x and it was a surprise for me to find out that the old SGS had the best audio chip among phones. So, now i use this phone mainly as a audio player. flashed cm10.1 and installed voodoo control by supercurio and the sound quality is amazing.
I just wanna ask if the newer roms runnig android5 or 6 or support this voodoo sound? (roms with stock kernel)
Im currently on jb 4.4.2, its smooth and fast, how does new builds compare to this?
And its amazing to see the amount of dev support this phone getting, there's something magical about this little thing.
cheers

They do. Not sure about other LP/MM ROMs but i was able to play 24/96 flac files on Resurrection Remix using USB Audio Player Pro, without resampling.
