I'm using rockplayer in cm7 sd playing avi and mkv but the audio is so low I have difficulty hearing them even with an in-ear earphone. Any work around to make the audio louder?
Try an equalizer app from the market and crank the dials up to the top.
You could also try Nook Color Tweaks.
You can change the volume gain in "Audio Settings" -> "Headphone analog gain".
thanks. Will look into them when I get home. Seems DSP Manager also works.
Don't bother with an eq app. Install nook tweaks.
I think that the best solution is using another speakers via bluetooth

Given the horrible range of the Nook Color's antenna-less bluetooth radio, you won't be able to get a clean signal more than a few inches away, if that. If you've got a bluetooth speaker, it's worth a try, but if not, a wired solution will be cheaper and sound better.
Use the equalizer app. I use Volume+ paid app, but the free ones work.

Sound with the HTC supplied headphones is OK, but I've just tried some Goldring gx200's and there was hardly any bass and overall poorer sound
What is the problem?
Are you using the built in Audio player?
Did you enable the 'Audio Booster'?
It is a known problem that this happens. You need to disable the Audio Booster as it has a bug that ruins the bass.
This has been talked about over and over again!
I have seen the audio booster problem mentioned, but I did not find any posts where it mentioned this problem with other headphone makes.
In my case audio booster was off for both headphones
It is a software bug, therefore it affects all headphones, no matter who made them.
If you enabled Audio booster at any point EVER, then it will screw the bass up.
If i remember rightly, you have to turn it on and then off again while the headphones are connected and it should solve it.
I have not used Audio booster at all. If I use the HTC supplied headphones then bass is fine, but if I use the third party ones there is no bass.
I can't see why it would make any difference, unless there is some electronics within the HTC phones to alter the sound/signal
With Radio or Media Player?

Are you talking about listening to radio or to the mediaplayer?
Because only the orginial headset and some replacemnets have an radio antenna in the headset cord.
I am using the RC E100 with my own Sony MDR-ELX90P headphones, and even without Audio Booster, I'm getting plenty of bass.
I can't understand why it would be different for you.
How are you actually connecting your 3rd party headphones by the way?
I am using an adapter to convert the mini-usb to standard headphone plug. This adapter is working OK on my Trinity, and the headphones work OK on other devices.
So its a bit odd.
Sound is from mp3's, I'll try the radio later
Are you sure by chance you do not have a fake headphone?
I bought a fake (I did not know that before) Sony Ericsson headphone, and it has no bass...

We are using SRS WOW 2.1 (this disables Audiobooster automaticly), to play around with different sound patterns.
Our new Bluetooth headphones must be able dealing with extreme low bass and high trebles untill we got over modulation at high volume.
We also tested competitive headsets from Sony, Motorola and some cheap Chinese copy-cat though they all give a more than average deep bass.
There is somewhere in another thread mentionning about "gradually decreasing bass" each time when another applic is opened (not the specific audio booster bug)
sorry, couldn't fins the thread anymore
Hi Folks!
Recently got a bluetooth FM transmitter so i can go hands free in the car and use phones music player too
However the audio is very heavily compressed when using A2DP - no bass and the top end frequencies turn to mush - ie not good enough to use
Checked all eq settings and different FM frequencies, no difference
plugged the analogue audio cable direct from the phone to the bluetooth FM transmitter and immediately got perfect sound again
I dont see many poeple talking about this on this forum or many answers but the closest seems to be windows phones can access and modify registry settings to check and increase the bitrate
My current thinking is the bitrate (or bitpool) over bluetooth A2DP is set too low, or when the phone and FM transmitter pair the phone selects a bitrate that's too low for quality audio (but ok for calls)
My question is does anyone know how modify the bitpool settings on the Galaxy S please?
I am going to get a custom ROM and will very happy when the phone is really mine so if that's what it takes I'm up for it
Many many thanks!

2.1.1 Eclair on 3 mobile network in the UK
Nexus Drive Transmit Pro (Bluetooth FM transmitter music and hands free car kit)
I have the Galaxy S on 3 UK since August. I use the bluetooth to transmit sound to my Samsung surround sound system (as I don't own a stereo). I don't notice significant quality issues doing this. Are you sure both your devices are supporting A2DP. Not all A2DP devices talking nicely with each other, so you may be failing back to the normal Bluetooth frequencies which are more focus of the vocal range. I'm looking a car stereo's right now that support A2DP so I can stream my audio from my phone straight to my stereo, my phone is becoming the centre of my entertainment!!
I'm running Doc's ROM on my phone, can't recommend moving to his Froyo ROM's and an enhanced kernel enough, my phone is working so much better with his ROM, but there are lots out there to choose from.
I am using A2DP in my car too and I find the sound quality being very good.
The thing is, the default Android audio player (Music Player) is pretty poor and often it lags for me.
Since I moved to MiuiMusic (Search here) all those lags are gone and it works perfectly and smoothly in my car.
Now, as pointed already to you, all BT devices do not communicate flawlessly between each other sometimes...
works great for me, streaming from the SGS to the car CZ 509 deck
i don't even carry CDs in my car anymore
even the lovely sub base sound comes through clearly.
nothing better like a Sonic Massage meanwhile you are driving
I wanted to create a new thread on this, but then I've seen this one. Is there no one with a solution except flashing cyanogen?
It could be a setting on your bluetooth receiver.
For example, I've got a pair of Sony DR-BT21G bt stereo headphones. When you hold a special button combination, it switches it from "high quality" to "any quality", and will just select whatever bitrate it thinks is best, usually, something that sounds about half as good.
Try looking in your manual for troubleshooting and see if there are any settings that you can change on the receiver itself?

Hmm, i using Sony MW600 BT headphones. I've checked the manual, but there's nothing about quality :/
But i dont think that's the problem anyway, as i tried Cyanogenmod and it got perfect quality then. But otherwise cyanogen is quite useless for me on my Galaxy S, its just too buggy. There must be someone who can change the bitpool quality on the stock gingerbread to the highest possible...
Exact same issue for me (as described by DJ LIBRE), I have a Belkin Wireless Bluetooth Music Receiver and the sound quality is horid... it's got nothing on AirPlay which I think is still kind of average quality!
I also wonder if there is a highbitrate setting that can be adjusted?
Running CyanogenMod Nightly #130 on SGS.
After getting used to listening to 24/96 FLAC's with the Voodoo Sound mod enabled with a custom built headphone amp and semi decent can's all I can say is BT Audio is a waste of time!
Has anyone noticed whether the music player was set to 5.1 surround mode? Had a similar issue where turning off the 5.1 fixed the sound streaming...
Is anyone else having audio issues with the Droid 4? mostly when I listen to music The vocals are so quiet that I can barely even distinguish them. I've tried 4 different sets of headphones and even replaced the phone once (it had other issues too).
so I'm just curious if others are having this issue or is it simply the audio playback on these phones is just poor.
I would even like suggestions of music apps or equalizers that can enhance vocal playback.

I'm very happy with the sound on my D4. I use Poweramp to listen to MP3s off my SD card, Tunein Pro for streaming local radio and some podcasts, and occasionally Slacker & Pandora for other streaming.
The Poweramp free app is a 15 day trial, the Full Version is $4.99 in the store. It has, in my non-audiophile opinion, a kick-ass equalizer, including about 16 presets. I have no problems hearing any audio unless the source was recorded with low levels.
That being said, I'm not a big fan of the D4's speaker for listening to music, but when I'm listening to music I'm either using headphones, external speakers or I'm plugged into my car's audio system, so it's not usually an issue.
I use Volume+. It is a paid app but worth it I think. I really does boost spound with headphones, speaker, bluetooth, and in call. To mod in call you have to be rooted.

That's for the options, I will try them out. I don't think the issue is quality since I use 320 kbps mp3 files as often as possible. I'm just trying to figure out this issue before I start flashing CM9.

I too have enjoyed the audio quality and volume from my droid 4. It could be the audio files you are listening too. If you ripped them from a cd, or downloaded them from somewhere sketch, then they could just be low in volume all together.
Well I considered that too. But I listened to the same song with poweramp, with Google music, on winamp and on Pandora. Same thing, I can barely hear the vocals. It sounds fine coming out of the back speaker, or if i switch power amps setting to mono. Maybe my phone just hates stereo.

Go to phone settings > sound > media audio effects. 3D audio or whatever is probably enabled by default. This drowns out some sounds in order to make a '3D' effect. Not good for music, in my opinion.

Thank you so much. That worked. I tweaked the audio effects and other settings to make it sound how I wanted it to. I can't thank you enough this was driving me insane. Now is time to start playing with roms.

When I use spotify and adjust equalizer settings there is no change in sound.
I've tried this on my Bluetooth headset and stock ear buds they came with.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have the same problem. External equalizers work for a while but stop randomly sometimes. Once was able to make SoundAlive work once with the right settings. Trying to find the right ones again. Will report if found

While using wired headphones the equalizer cuts in and out for me as well. On Bluetooth it works fine..
My settings don't seem to toggle when im using neutron player

Exactly for the Bluetooth it works but wired doesn't it seems
I have the same issue, external equalizers don't work at all. Only sound modification settings that work are the ones in the system settings (and the actual equalizer is absent here). However, it worked for like 3 minutes at some point today, and the built in equalizer sounded amazing. And then it stopped working again -_-
I have the same problem!! Maybe it can be fixed with an update!
Bump. Have anyone found any solution for this? I've been into every single forum and thread and still no solution is found.
I have the same problem. Had this issue for months then randomly the EQ worked for about an hour yesterday, broken again today. Sound Alive+ works, up scaler and tube amp emulation work, but changing the EQ does absolutely nothing. Likewise with effects like 3D, concert hall etc. Using the built-in Samsung Music player seems to work but neither Spotify or Shuttle+ work.
I've tried everything I can think of except factory reset.
Hello again
Really often I use my phone as a media player, especially in my car, connected via headphones cable. Until now all works fine with all my devices, but with the Maze Alpha the sound is just in mono (left side) - with any app. In the android settings I disabled the sound reinforcement options but nothing is changed.
I know that the speaker plays sounds just in mono, but I found no hints in reviews that this is the same for headphones. If this device generally not able to play sounds in stereo, is this a big fail for the manufacturer.
So please check my issue and give me a feedback. I'd also be happy if someone can tell my a solution for this to get real stereo sounds.
Many thanks in advance and best wishes
Dan
Headphone jack
Same issue here only one chanel
I haven't try to use it directly with large speakers though. It seems that you might need an amplifier to get the right sound despite defaulting to a stereo sound system only. The secret is to sound issue in Maze Alpha is to get quality earphones.
