Hi all, I'm coming from a Sgs2 where Voodoo Louder was perfect but on my Note when I set the audio boost with the slider, for example at +6 dbm, it's ok and it does the boost but when I press the volume buttons on the side of the phon the volume loose the boost and return to the original "Samsung setting".
In the app I have not ticked smart boost option and I have set the limit to +6 dbm so I don't understand why it does this when my Sgs 2 with the same settings doesn't loose the boost when pressing the volume buttons.
I am on Rocket V-20 Rom with AbyssNote Kernel 3.5c.
This happens with stock samsung music player and also with player pro and with Power Amp full Version
Thanks in advance for your help.

i have the same problem. i'm on xxla4 with cf root kernel. it also happens with voodoo control plus on my original sgs. maybe we'll have to ask the developer.
Having some issues with it too. Whenever i press back button(anywhere) it will be back to pre-louder mode.
I was also having the same issue with Rocket Rom V20... But upgrading to V22 has resolved the issue.
Hi, I strongly recommend using Smart Boost which gives optimal audio quality results and provides a better usability as well.
This may warrant a new thread, but is there anyway to make Voodoo Louder boost the output of the Samsung docks as well? I love the boost provided to the headphone output, but the output from the Samsung car dock is very low and poor quality. I noticed the output is controlled by the media volume on the phone, so I was wondering if there is anyway to make Voodoo Louder boost this output as well?

I know there's a volume boost hack around here for Eclaire that downmixes stereo to mono for the external speaker but is there one that will boost headphones also? I have a trip coming up where I'll be on a plane. I use earbuds which have been fine with my phone in the past so I'd like to avoid buying powered ones. I'm on the new cm7 w/tweaks, which is awesome btw.
I found that "mymusicon" boosts the headphone output quite a bit. You get to the volume by tapping the play screen. Then rotate the "sub" knob to boost the volume.

I was hoping to find a hack or something to boost all media levels.
Use my kernel
I'm not sure how to instal it on my emmc dualboot cm7 tweaks.
im using voodoo sound on simply honey 3.5 w/ damien kernel and things are working great...
when im in the car the amplifier works wonderfully....
but, when i insert my head set no matter what level i put the voodoo amp at it makes no difference.
i check through all the settings but i dont see anything... is there anyone out there that might know what the problem is.
thanks.
This is how I set up Voodoo myself.
Max out the media volume on the phone.
Go into Voodoo Control, and make sure "Map Volume Keys Hack" is checked. Also, for the safety of my ears, I also make sure "Jack Plug In Safety" is also checked.
Then when you insert your headphons plug, a little Voodoo icon should appear in the upper left of the phone screen. The volume when adjusted, should be controlled through the Voodoo amplifier.
Are you using Voodoo Control Plus, or is your kernal Voodoo enabled?
i don't think its plus...
its just voodoo control and yes the kernel does allow for it...
i see all the options you stated and have mine set up similarly...
my issue is ONLY WITH HEAD SET volume...
for instance ill put the amplifier up for music... then when i get a call ill plug in my headphones and the volume will be LOUD!! and no matter how low i put the volume it wont go down.
:\
[SOLUTION]
Use +9dB as maximum boost (this is now the set default in the Note as Supercurio has found +10.5dB seems to cause headset detection confusion with some headsets).
Wondering if anyone else is having a problem where the system media volume periodically drops back with Voodoo LOUDER running? I note the problem seems to be worse when using line-out rather than just headsets?
I'm on Rocket ROM V15, Abyss-Kernel 2.8, KL7 with KL7 modem.
I've so far tried the following to fix it to no avail:
Thought it might be PowerAMP related, so tried all manner of permutations in PowerAMP settings, disabling headset automatic activities, advanced audio engine settings etc --> no success
Tried other music players - stock and Ubermusic --> no success
Different headsets --> no luck
Using the Voodoo LOUDER slider instead of the Smart Boost --> same problem
Given none of that works I'm wondering if this is a kernel issue (even though the whole compatibility check runs fine). If no one has any better suggestions I'll flash another kernel this evening and see if that helps.
I have contacted Supercurio, but thought someone else here might have already cracked this one for me?
If you disable "Smart Boost" in Voodoo LOUDER, the app loose any ability to affect volume at all.
I'm not sure in your report if it's what you meant by "instead of smart boost"
Oh really? Because when I turn that off I can still increase the volume with the slider option, so because of that I thought you could either have slider or use the Smart Boost. Regardless, it's not working with Smart Boost either!

Hi NZtechfreak! I've seen your awesome videos on Youtube!
Anyways, I've been considering purchasing Voodoo because of the terrible sound quality on my GNote, but was wondering if you managed to correct the issue.
Also, a side question, does Voodoo improve the in-call volume when using the 3.5mm jack? I ask because it is TERRIBLY low when I have it connected to the AUX in my car.
Thanks
I just installed it on mt E4GT and when i max out the volume is causes my music player to stop. Whether its on smart boost or not

The issue was that on max boost the headset detection gets confused, Supercurio mentioned this in his latest update. The max boost on the Note is now +9dB and it works perfectly (still more than sufficient). Hasn't made a noticeable difference to in-call volume in the car (I use mine in the same way you do). Presumably only affects media volume.
Thanks for the update
The big question is, is it worth the $15?

What is $15?
Edit: ah, lol New Zealand dollars, I was really wondering what it was about & checked.
Edit2
Wait.. seems like a bug.
Edit3
Fixed.
Any plans of solve the issue that when you up to 10.5dB all music playing stop?
Hope that you are working on this because if not i dont understand why you still keep the 10.5dB option in the app if it doesnt work :S
Or how about going beyond +3db for ICS? It doesn't do squat anymore
Does not work with Cm. Damn...
@Galaxy Note™…

When are we getting a fix for official ics.. Only 3 as maximum limit..
Please update..thanks a lot..
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
Switching from CM9 (Which was loud as all hell when plugged into the car stereo) to rooted stock LPY via Mobile Odin has been smooth and painless, but the headphone/aux volume is much quieter than on CM9, and sounds disappointing in the car.
I tried using the service menu accessed by keying in *#197328640#, but when I choose [5] AUDIO to get to the audio settings, I just get returned to the main ServiceMode menu.
Can anyone suggest a way to increase the headphone jack volume, without using those dodgy volume boost applications?
Thanks!
(Im guessing unless someone has made a magic flashable zip to do it, theres probably no way)
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.
