Phone volume is dependent on the kernel. You can only improve that by changing kernel. Not sure about audio or notification volume, but I assume that would also be dependent on the kernel. I know there is a voodoo sound app that affects sound seperate from the kernel, but I'm not an android developer and don't know the relationships. hth.

[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

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.

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!

Sound distortion in loud environments, fix?

Is there some fix for sound distortion in loud environments when taking video with my Galaxy S? I am aware of Voodoo Sound kernel but I am finding only kernels for Froyo. I am currently on 2.3.4 JPQ, so please, propose me some fix.
Thanks.

Download voodoo sound control (free or paid) then install the driver from their, I'm on 2.3.5 and it works a treat so it shouldn't give you and hassle

Does phone need to be rooted? If it needed, I think it is easier for me to install Semaphore kernel.

[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!
Mods, you can close this thread.

Touchwiz and audio out

One thing I noticed whenever I am a touchwiz based rom is that the volume out never gets loud enough.
When I use a cm9 based rom the volume is capable of going much louder. It must be touchwiz because my SG2 does the same thing.
Is there a patch out there or other way? I don't listen to headphones, but use a FM transmitter. Cm9 roms are nice but I prefer touchwiz.
Thanks in advance!

Ya that app doesn't work too well. I'm wondering if its something simple with the build.prop or something. That's the only reason I'm still on cm9

[Q] Sound Quality on I9000 custom roms

Hi I see that sound quality in custom roms are degraded a lot. Not sure if anybody else has noticed it. I tried almost all the Kernels and most of the mods like beat, Vodoo etc, but all i see is that in these mods we can change bass treable etc, but quality of sound still remains bad, when i say quality its purely clarity. Sound in Stock rom is very clear, where as in custom roms its not.
Is there anyway we can use the samsung provided sound libraries in custom roms? Also cross platform support will be a issue i guess, as stock rom we have only till 2.3
What headphone are you using? Does it have a mic?
I tested my phone with stock phone there was no differences also my phone was very clear than stock rom cm 10.1 4.2.2

u r right
You are wrong. Sound is much better with jellybean. Decrease right side of equlaizer. It's better for sgs.
