I was just wondering if there is a mod or perhaps a kernel that addresses the poor audio volume you get when playing a youtube video or anything involving the speaker on the rear of the phone. I strain just to hear the audio. Ringtones sound okay but video playback is almost worthless as I have to hold the phone up to my head half the time just to hear it.

Hi guys, I'm running Darky 9.3 (don't know if that's relevant or not)
I've searched the forums (and the web) but couldn't find any mention of this. When I listen to music on my Galaxy S using headphones it sounds amazing, full stereo, really clear. When I use the external speaker its lovely and loud... but recently when listening to The Beatles I realised that it was only playing the left channel through the speaker (I assumed it would have been both left and right combined).
Now anybody who knows the early Beatles music and the massive stereo separation will realize this means I couldn't hear the drums/guitar/vocals depending on the track.
I tried the same song with headphones... perfect.
I tested this using both the stock Samsung music player and mSpot... the same with both.
Anybody else know about this?
Have to be honest this is just one of reasons i stoped useing custom roms as at some point i find issues i now use stock js8 its fast and reliable but i do wish you luck in finding answer

Or not properly inserted. No issues here.
The last two answers are just for fun or you guys don't understand english? He is talking about the sound through thephone's speaker!

Yeah i was just about to say... cable?
I only mentioned the Rom as I don't know if that's the cause or not. But yeah.. through headphones? music is fine... through external speaker? ...only left audio channel.
With most modern music you can get away with it to be honest as usually the vocals bass and drums are mixed to the centre... but with older stuff? you miss half the music!
rather annoying...
It is one channel. Voodoo sound fix can force mono which fixes it mate. Comes with 9.3
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
It is pretty much industry standard (and I don't just mean the mobile phone industry) that when representing Monoural audio, you use only the left channel! as mentioned, software mixers exist, but I would not be surprised if the stock rom did the same.

hmm.... I'd have tested the stock rom if I'd realised about this in time. There's no way I can be bothered re flashing my phone... testing it... flashing it back and then going through all the hassle of setting up again. urgh. lol
I wonder if there's anybody who has a strong-stereo separation music track they can test who's on stock? is it two-channel mono? or just the left channel?
Thanks for the answers so far guys
Go into voodoo settings and choose force mono. I get 2ch audio

EDIT: Never mind I found it. Works great, thanks!
Just have to remember to turn it back to stereo when i put headphones in. But at least I can listen to The Beatles when I'm in the kitchen now on the built in speaker. Cheers!
Hello,
I'm wondering what EQ settings are best for all types of music.?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Use your ears. Some people like to have a lot of bass, and some like to have small amounts or even none. Plug your headphones in and adjust it until you like how it sounds on different songs and genres.
I don't use EQ. Makes my life simple. The settings in Voodoo control is enough for my ears.

The ones picked by the recording engineer during the tracking session.
I prefer a flat EQ a well, but that is because I want to hear the track how the artists/engineers intend. I have ultimate ears triple fi 10 in-ears and they sound amazing. But it takes some getting used to the sound since most people are not used to hearing super clear mids and highs

Save up for decent equipment and use no EQ at all. DSP effects ruin sound fidelity. As mentioned above, get used to listening to music the way it was intended by the artists and sound engineers that recorded it.
And here I was staying on Cm7 just for the DSP manager

I add bass, lots of it, but maybe I should stop using DSP
also Alan, DSP can be had on any ROM I'm on touchwiz ATM
(If you download Root toolbox you can find it in the 'other ' section then flash it)

Hello everybody,
I'm pretty new to this device since i have swapped it two days ago so I would like a question about audio quality.
With the stock rom I had pre-installed the audio quality was samsung standard: not good but at least audible.
I moved to another rom (Overcome 7 v 4.1.0) which kernel supports voodoo sound.
I was really shoked when i listened to a song for the first time: bass and mid-ranges were just fine as voodoo makes them while highest pitches (and voice too) seems like playing miles away from me: they get all muffled whitout any apprent reason!
I double checked it wasn't a problem of my headset plugging them into my galaxy s and listening to the same song flawlessly.
Did anybody experienced this problem too?
Install DSPManager and set the equalizer to your liking.

True, much better with that.
Speakers volume
I have the same Tab with Overcome 4.1.0. It is a low volume level of speakers for making or recieving calls. Do you know what a problem is?

LOL, that isn't a solution!
Audio should be clear before applying any other effects (dsp or equalizing).
Btw I finally got the solution: it was all fault of Samsung's crappy headset!
I replaced with another set from another brand and it all works like a charm now!
Mods, you can close this thread.
EDIT: I am not affiliated with this MOD at all, I'm simply spreading the word.
Alright, forget AwesomeBEATS, AC!D Soundmod and DSP Manager. I've been trying this out for a few weeks now, with incredible results. I have tested this on both Borked ROM and PACman, and works flawlessly on both so it should work on all ROMs available for our Vivid. The only bug I have noticed is the separate bluetooth settings don't seem to make a difference, it just uses the Headset settings. Here are the settings I've found with the best sound for me so far, it will make your ears happy.
V4A-FX Powered On- CHECKED
PlaybackAGC- Unchecked
FIR Equalizer- CHECKED- I use Vocal Booster
Convolver- CHECKED- srs_2_1_normal+headset.irs
Field Surround- CHECKED- Both set to Moderate
Reverberation- Unchecked
Dynamic System- CHECKED- I have Denon headphones so I select High-End, sometimes Extreme. I can tell a difference between the two.
Tube Simulator- CHECKED
Just read through the thread and you'll find the .irs files and what to do with them. Installation is super easy and makes a huge difference.

For our Vivid, choose A8Cortex with Neon when it does the initial driver setup.
If you have TitaniumBackup or can otherwise completely remove DSP Manager, I highly recommend this as to avoid conflicting settings.
thank you it works! my cm10 flashed vivid is so much louder and clear thanks again
I also want to point out my edit, if you can remove DSP manager from the system I recommend doing so, as its settings will conflict and deteriorate Viper's.
I'm glad you said something cus I deleted dsp manager and I'm using viper and I was gunna reflash the dsp manager since I think there's to much bass and music is a bid distorted.

I had already deleted DSP Manager with TiBU, loving Viper. My Vivid sounds like a high-end stereo now.
Thanks!

It really does turn your phone into a high-end preamp/mixer, the audio profiles you can create with a little tweaking are amazing. This is one of the best setups I've found so far, for my headphones and the cassette adapter in my car-
Headset-
Master Power- On
Playback Gain- Off
FIR Equalizer- On- Vocal Booster
Convolver- On- IRS I use is samsung_i9300_soundalive_11_virtualchannel7.1.irs
Field Surround- Off
Headphone Surround- Off in the car, On for headphones (sometimes)
Reverberation- Off
Dynamic System- On- Extreme Headphones(v2), 16% Dynamic Bass, Tube Simulator enabled
Fidelity Control- ViPER Bass- On- Natural Bass, 40hz, 3.5db, ViPER Clarity- On- OZone+, 3.5db
Auditory System Protection- Cure Tech- On, Moderate
Master Gate (Limiter)- 0db, 0db
Glad it's working out for you guys!

I started to install it but got stuck. When I go to put the apk in the system/app folder it says "has not been copied" but it does list it as there twice both having 0kb size
Does it have a huge difference compared to DSP Manager? and what are the difference?
considering trying this mod...
but i need to know how to uninstall this mod ...just incase i don't like it ....
(I'm currently rooted running a stock dedoxed rom... using beats audio and poweramp so headphone wise i have no issue with the sound, but sound through the phones speakers is just too low.)
I'm on 4.2.2 Unofficial Dirty Unicorn (7-18-13),
after flash the rom,on phone speaker, default bass was too heavy to make it sounds horrible, and the dsp manager didn't work.
but this MOD works great!
Really thanks for the info, it fixed my phone speaker problem
I did a lot of searching but all I found were ways to boost the two front facing speakers volume. I have poor hearing and this phone is much quieter than my old one, so unless I constantly use speakerphone I'm always saying "what? Huh?". It's kinda weak...
So are there any mods or apps that can boost the phone speaker up a few notches?
Volume + is an app that can do that but you need to be rooted IIRC

Actually this doesn't seem to work anymore and the dev seems to have quit supporting it.
Any current options? Reading through old forums it seems the HTC One X commonly had the same issue and only roms/kernals or toothbrushes solved it...
Try 'speaker boost' in the play store. I installed it for a friend a month ago so they could hear their talking caller ID more clearly in a loud environment. Seems to work well. Good luck!
