ok guys i got this problem with some headphones :
when i volume up the music to more than 0db using the voodoo audio booster my headphones just like unplug they dont actually unplug but its the same effect, the music stops and turns on again in 1-2 sec with like -30db. I got this problem with the SGS 2 headphones plugged into my SGS 1.
Did you set some sort of volume limit in the voodoo control app?
First wow dude 0 dB is loud. I have only even approached -10 dB using it as line-out, up near -20 dB on headphones is ear-splitting.
Second the -30 dB is the jack plug-in safety option. You can turn it off in the voodoo control app but it is activating because the headphones are being 'unplugged', which is the real problem.
ok so first my limit is +5db , and i know its loud i had never listened that loud to my last headphones ( the original SGS ones) and i dont know but i think the problem is not that much in the hardware but in the software. When i even get close to 0db the sound gets real crappy, and when i connect it to the laptop and turn them really loud the sound is perfect so the headphones dont have like a limit or something because i have several audio boosts on my laptop too. What i am trying to say that the problem is not in the headphones, and when i try get my music on the phone to more than -5db it sounds like -15db or something like that any ideas ? i think i have 3 options
1) problem in the phone
2) problem in the headphones
3) problem with the voodoo app
ohh and the other day i used these HTC headphones they had a button on the mic and when i listened to the music the sound was crappy and they were unplugging when i got my music to 0db but when i press and hold the button the quality was perfect and they were not unplugging. So again anyone any ideas

Hi, does anyone know whether there is/are a music player with equalizer capability, cause the 3,5mm jack will be useless for my Sennheisser headset..
i dont think there is one, im also on the lookout
No eq for android yet, its apparently a google thing. Im hoping the put one there in donut, cos the sound quality is not the best on my hero.
And I hope they fix the volume issue with the music player (Or maybe it's not specifically related to the music player). I have to have it set to max all the time. With my old Polaris, I had it at 2 (of 6 I think it was) to get approximately the same volume in the standard headphones. I really don't want to switch headphones, because I love to have the buttons there to control the music player and answer calls.
There is no way to raise the volume in some settings if I already have the "Media Volume" set to max, right?

Might be just your case, or low-volume mp3s?
My max-media-volume seems to just right. If I listen through headphones I have it set to 30% , 40% max.
On my Diamond I had it set to like step 1 of 9 or something. Anyway, volume at 50% on my Diamond was WAAAY too loud, and you could hear it distorting. So I had a feeling on my Diamond that 3/9 or 4/9 was actually around 0dB. Everything higher than that would distort the audio.
On my Hero max-media-volume through the 3,5mm jack seems to be around 0dB (as it should).
I have a google car dock for my nexus one and I hook the audio through the car stereo with a 3.5mm audio cable. When it is plugged into the dock the sound is very low and the quality is terrible. If I just pull it out of the dock everything is back to normal -- this happens with all apps.
What do I have to do in order to prevent the phone from doing this while docked?
you have the exact same setup as i do and ive seen this as well, i think there is something that makes the audio play at a different volume specifically for when it is docked for some reason. im on cm6.1.1 and it seems a little better because i believe they tweaked something with it, i saw a checkin on cmsrc on twitter that modified some line with dock volume.
what ive found is if i set the media volume to about 5/8 or 7/8 then dock it the volume will make its "dock adjustment" and its up to where my car volume is from there, usually a little less distortion if the phones volume is a little lower than max. from there if i forget to set the media volume i will use the preamp slider in the poweramp music players equalizer to adjust.
i just wish the volume wouldnt change at all and the volume button on the side of the dock would change the media volume :\
side note: have you noticed that the voice search when docked doesnt pick up your voice very well? almost like the noise canceling mic is cancelling you out or something and other times it can pick up your voice great?
Actually the sound volume was solved by some user that re-compiled libaudio with the code that lowers the sound by 10db commented out. The problem I have is that the sound quality is so poor that it seems to be mono without bass.
It turns out that the crappy audio quality comes from Bluetooth being on. When I disable Bluetooth in car mode, everything is great. Unfortunately I can't figure how to make it disabled by default so I have to disable it everytime.

Hi I would like to increase the headset volume on my phone it is far to quiet when listening to music in my car via the audio jack, I used to have a galaxy s i9000 and I used the voodoo amp app that turned up the gain from -10 to +2 and it sounded incredible in the car but my Sony outputs at a much lower volume and sounds pants in comparison!
I've tried a lot of volume boost apps in play store and I've tried flashing sound mods like v4a and zeroinfinitys volume boost and superloud but nothing makes any difference at all!
And I'm stuck with a bootloader unlock allowed : no phone so unable to install custom kernels
Any help to turn up the volume in some way would be greatly appreciated......
Thanks in advance
Anybody??
One last attempt for a response lol
This phone will be for sale if I can't sort this volume out or unlock the bootloader I will go back to samsung

Wait for 4.3 update, stock volume is louder.
But have you tried poweramp ? Gain can be increased a lot.
I have had a similar issue. Increasing gain will kill quality. And I don't think you want that. My recommendation is to buy a headset with a higher sensitivity. I always look for something higher than 105db because this stupid phone.
That's good news volume is louder in 4.3! I'm currently using poweramp paid version, I have dvc enabled and I've turned up the pre amp slider on the equaliser a bit but not a lot of difference in the sound have I missed a setting somewhere??
I never use an actual headset I plug the phone into the aux in on my car stereo, I don't know the hardware differences between the 2 phones I have but with the Sony plugged in and all volumes on max it sounds very quiet but if I plug in my old galaxy s running cm7 and voodoo sound if all volumes were maxed speaker damage would almost definitely occur it is sooooo much louder and the quality is still crystal clear in my opinion
This is a problem of too high impedance of your car device for XT, hardware related... You could use a preamp.
But wait for 4.3.
I was wondering if it is just me, but these are the issues my Nokia 8 has:
-media volume control starts at 40%, so wired headphones are way too loud even on lowest setting
-Bluetooth audio quality is just horrible, with hisses and buzzing,same headphones work fine with other devices
-hiss while using external speaker. Every time a sound is output, there will be a hiss/buzz that continues for a couple seconds after sound output stops
Any experiences with that? And more importantly, any fix?

It must be your phone only.
I've no issues with audio at all.
Audio quality over Bluetooth is really good, much better than any other phone I've owned.
Hello!
I have a problem with my new Xiaomi Mi 8. I would like to confirm if its only my device doing that or other devices too. Its running Android 9 with Miui 10.2.3.0.
When I set the lowest possible volume (not muted) the static noise is louder than the sound coming out of built in speaker or earphones connected via jack. It is pretty noticable even when the sound is set to high and there are e.g. silent parts of song. It does not matter which app I use (youtube, spotify, default music app). When I connect my bluetooth headset everything is okay and the sound is clear.
For testing purposes I am using song Kaleo - Way We Go Down. I find it most noticable there. The song even breaks and stops playing for a few milliseconds in the begining. Can you guys somehow test this issue and reply here with the results? I want to see if I am the only one having this problem.
Btw when I connect my earphones to my 4 years old iphone 6 the sound is crystal clear.
Thank you.
