[Q] Galaxy S i9000 ext. speaker (music) - left channel only?

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

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.

But I'm on Darky 9.3 and I have the problem... or are you saying the *problem* comes with 9.3?

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!

[Q]Audio quality on GT-P1000?

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!

I tried it on a broken beats Rom - Joelz TwoPointThree 3.5.
It flashed, the boot initially took a little longer but I went to try it and no sound. Should I try a different player instead of stock or a different Rom? I was thinking of switching to ICS momentarily because Newts 3.5 has gone broken on me.

Just flashed this on a new flash of the official CM 7.1. I haven't had any trouble with music playing or clipping. Just pure sound. Albeit I did not do a comparison so I cannot say if I hear a difference in quality but I am happy with it and will continue to flash it.

What is really Beats by Dre? Sorry

Can someone else confirm that this works on another GB incredible build???

did you try it?

Can i get a link to the original post? I dont feel like making an account on another site just to get a file.
edit: nm with googles help i found the file, i can confirm it works on miui

Joelz new 3.5 had a broken beats file allowing it to not work. Now I switched to cm7, listened to the music first. Very shotty headphones (ifrogz) as my latest earphones died on me.
The sound was eh.. flashed this beats zip and came back to hear it, the clarity and quality increased so much. Should note there is a tolerable difference when not using headphones as your speaker phone may actually sound like bass. Well at least I can gear it, I will try it on Joelz 3.5 again. Cause there is no notification or anything say it works its difficult to pinpoint if it only works on stock players or various ones.
I am hopefully getting new earphones tonight, JVC Xtreme Explosives is what I'm looking at.

I've been using this mod since I saw it on the portal the other day. (or twitter. I can't remember)
It really does make quite a bit of a difference. For you guys trying it out, use nicer headphones. The difference is marginal on $15 skullcandy buds, but on high end speakers, it's really noticeable. Definitely worth the flash.

Here's the file, no need to register somewhere else....
Just flashed it, does this add a menu entry/some new setting to the interface or no?

Can anyone confirm this working (and making a difference) with Gingerbread-Inc-Deck?

May i send to my ladies phone, sir? I have tested side by side with same phone using same ROMs (CM7 newest nightly) using 115 by Treyarch (yes the Black Ops zombie song) and quite a noticeable difference. Also not sure, but I had tested started with volume at 50% and my phone with the zip was louder by 2 notches (decreased volume to regulate) and her phone at 100% was to mine at 80%. I do not use DSP manager as I get a weird noise from it after any sound from speaker ends. Anyone else experience similar volume performance?

[Q] Squadzone cm-7.2.0-RC5.6 GalaxyMini MUSIC PLAYER LAG

This rom is good overall, but I find that whenever I'm playing music, there is a slight delay/lag if I switch to another application or even rotate the screen. I've read several posts about the same issue and the recommendation is to delete DSP manager. I did that, but it doesn't remove the lag. Is there anyone out there with a solution to this annoying lag/bug?

Yeah man! And if i use Overclock up to 604 Mhz for max The Camera is Flickering

I rarely take pictures but I listen to music on my phone a lot , so I would really appreciate a fix to this issue.

if you are using 604 Mhz, it's the default speed. not overclocked.

True. I tried that one too and its very smooth. I prefer crazy kp's cm7 music edition v3.0 though bcuz of the extra tweak settings. I flashed beats audio with it and I REALLY like how my phone sounds (especially through the earphones). Music coming from the stock earphones sounds CRISP!

use combination of beats audio and bravia MegaBASS...

I also tried music edition v3 by kp...i found it a bit annoying..because mebitek's rom is highly efficient evn though it doesnt have extra tweaks it is much stable than music edition and if you just install power amp with beat audio its equivalent to music edition...

[Q] Audio dropping volume?

I'm having this issue where the volume drops during song changes, or during quiet parts in a video. I'm fairly certain this is a known problem, but just wondering if anyone has found a fix.
I've tried different music players, different video players, different headphones, even a headphone amp and the problem persists. currently running P.A.C v3.0 but the problem was present also on TrickDroid v7.5

I think this happens in all phones, ipods, iphones and music players as what outputs high volume comes from audio file from the song or movie. There are programs in the internet the makes the audio files louder in a song or a movie. The problem is not the phone or roms. As any phone, it can't output high volume if the volume level in the audio file in a song isn't put to high levels of volume.

I agree with the op. I've got both the HTC One and the N4. The problem he's describing is present in the one but not the N4, same exact audio sources.

Maybe but I have experienced the same thing on all devices I have used for music. I think it depends on the songs but I might be wrong.

I can also confirm that this issue has been persistent on my One. Something that had never happened to my One XL, Nexus nor Desire. Not liking this at all!
Sent from my HTC One

I've never had it happen on anything except my One. On the stock ROM, it's fine, but any AOSP ROM (and I've flashed a lot of them) gives me this issue anytime I use headphones.

I can confirm this as well. Stock ROM seems OK but AOSP and cm based ROM have this problem

Bump!

I think HTC made the phone to lower the volume when the volume is way too high so you won't go deaf. An annoying "feature" that HTC has implemented in the phone.

Just an update on this. the CM nightly for today (6/20) contains a bunch of audio merges which hopefully will fix the audio fading issue. I'll report back when its available for download and I flash it

Just tried out the 6/21 nightly, and the audio fading issue is unfortunately still there.

Help audio volume drops
I am currently using the Avatar rom and have been experiencing the exact same problem. The volume will go down in music, audio books, and even on the phone. The problem is not consistent and has been driving me crazy ever since I installed this rom. I love the ROM and can't picture living without it. I can't figure out what exactly it is causing the issue, but if anybody has found a solution, I would love to hear it. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone tried flashing beats back onto their phone to see if that does anything?

Update- installed beats audio. It unfortunately didn't fix the problem.

Try updating your firmware to 2.24 and turn off Beats. This solved it. Although now I use higher volume to match what I had before with Beats turned on, the sound quality and bass is nearly equal or even better.

OK, so I'm pretty new to this whole thing. What would the steps be to upgrade my firmware to 2.24?
