Playing music on my note? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wanted to know if the sound on the note is great? Without headphones it does not sound to crisp at all, only had my note for a day but i noticed the quality is not as good as on my htc but oh well lol

I am not an extreme audiophile but i think galaxy s/note are doing OK.
I have a htc desire z and wasn't bad too.
don't believe the beat audio thing, usually these "technology" are MSG (monosodium glutamate) for audio

Poor Video sound quality

I have horrible sound recording during videos. My first video was shot in the bathroom and I thought maybe the sound was overwhelming for the mic bit after further review I have noticed that all of mu videos have bad sound. Inside /outside and everywhere in between. Any ideas?

Video on mines been excellent sound has left something to be desired, guess the real question is what kinda video are you shooting in the bathroom lol jk
Hahaha...my 2 yrs twins were in the bath.
That worries me that no one has had an issue. I bought mine off Craigslist and can't return it to the store...I'm sure htc would fix it but I don't want to send it in. Sad face

I've also noticed the sound on mine being a problem. It seems if the sound is too loud, it just turns into static. Does anyone have a solution to this? Possibly a different video recording software that works better than the OEM software on the Vivid?
Have you tried checking the videos on your computer? HTC has a rep for putting bad speakers in their phones.

I've played the videos on the computer with the same results. I just didn't know if there is a setting for equalizing the Mic.

It's not just you. Look at the sample videos on YouTube and you'll notice the same poor sound quality on all of them.
I am starting to think this maybe an audio driver issue or cheap audio hardware. I get poor sound through mu headphones as well. Its not very loud and sounds seem blended together. Missing my infuse and voodoo sound. Sad face
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
I get good sound through the headphone jack as well as the earpiece and speaker but I will agree that sound quality in videos is crap. The mic gets constantly overwhelmed with sounds that aren't even that loud, and in playback that results in momentary muting of the sound altogether.

Yeahhhh, I'm really disappointed in the video sound quality. I was at the Watch The Throne (jayz and kanye) show a few days ago and got some reeeeally good videos.. However the audio is pure static and white noise. Smh
Mine is fine. No better no worse than my i4s was.
No problems here...works gr8

Uncheck stereo recording and see if that helps. That's one of the solutions for the Sensation and Amaze. (We suffered the same problems.)

Same problem
My wife complains all the time that since switching from my iPhone 3Gs to the Vivid she can barely hear me during phone conversations. I have also had terrible luck with the audio on my video recordings. I was trying to record my son's band, and I thought the drums were just too much for it to handle, but I just recorded a very mild piano recital with the same results. The audio playback on both the phone and computer are terrible. It just sounds like it is coming in waves. I hope there is a patch that they can release to correct this problem.

I've learned that the BEST way to get mediocre (at best) audio is to use my old iPhone headphones (that has a mic built in).. I'm going to a concert tonight. I'll test out the quality then. I'll post a vid on YouTube if it's up to par.
I actually started using lgcamera from the market. I get consistent 30fps and if you change the sound options to aac, 44100khz, 128kbs it sounds amazing. It's still mono but no more Mic clipping or gain issues. Much better than HTC camcorder with mono audio.
I can finally record my daughter and understand what she is saying. And being at 44khz, sound is great.
I've tried this app about 5 months ago and it wasn't as fluid as it is now. So I'm keeping this version's apk handy. Give it a try since its free. (don't check the enable stereo beta thing...I think it actually records backwards..)
Sent from my HTC Amaze
Damn, I gave it a try. Initially, it'll launch but when I press record it says a failed error message. Then sometimes it freezes when I try to adjust the settings.. Then I force closed it and open it back up and the screen is black. I did a restart with no success.
It might have something to do with me having an htc vivid with the amaze camera apk (via holiraider rom)

I got some nice pair of Sony in-ear headphones. They were about 10 quid from Tesco. They have really nice bass response and are made well. Use poweramp player to get the full potential.
Model number is MDR-EX10LP.

Skullcandy!
You really must try the skullcandy earphones. They're really good. I've bought them because my old ones broke, and I must admit, the sound quality is much better than my previous ones (JVC).
i dont know about specific earphones but my experience, they lack bass bit heavily so go for earphone that can support heavy bass?

Hey all, I was considering buying a pair of these bad boys. I was also considering getting the apt-x transmitter for another $50 with them. So a pair of Bluetooth headphones and the transmitter for about $150 American. Thoughts? Suggestions?
I really would like to buy a good pair of Bluetooth headphones, but not in ear buds or anything behind the neck. I was wondering if these looked good to anyone or if there's another pair I should get instead.
Thanks in advance guys!
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Well.
The most popular ones are JVC, Beats, SkullCandy and Philips. In the nowaday market though....
Who knows why my bluetooth headset volume is so low?!
You could try using an app like Volume+ or Volume Control. Just search "volume" in the play store. They should be able to increase the output volume of your Bluetooth audio.

Beats Audio = lame

It's a big gimmick. It just an audio preset. It's like hitting the "pop" button on your stereo, seems like we're getting ripped off of a true equalizer just to get a stupid preset I can't even use with my bluetooth headphones. The whole beats brand is stupid. Here's some washed up rappers headphones made by a company known for overpriced overrated hdmi cables. And of course the headphones are like $200 for a set of earphones that look no better than a cheap pair of sonys.
HTCs investment in them just shows their ignorance.

Agreed...beats suck and are overrated (both the audio and the headphones/earbuds...everything beats sucks-and if you like them then you've never truly heard good quality music)
Anyways...I have playerpro for my music...it has an equalizzer in it that I use...not the best but it gets the job done...just wish I could save money for some real headphones (wanna get ath m50s) my bro has a few really nice pairs since he DJs and produces progressive house songs
Although...I still like dre...his recent song "The Recipe"(actually not really his...) was pretty good, and the chronic 2001 will always be near the top of my favorite rap albums

I love the sound of my Studios, and the Beats equalizer adds a very nice sound. In my car, forget it. Makes my speakers make funny noises that are annoying.

Of course they are gonna distort your car speakers. Using an equalizer on nonamplified or crossovered or bass blocked wal-mart speakers are gonna make terrible noises. Quality speakers + Amp + Crossovers = studio quality sound

While I wouldn't buy the headphones, what I suggest for a nice sound is a battery hog on most phones...
Download Equalizer by Smart Android Apps,LLC
Turn on Beats Audio and bucket out the EQ..Rock presets usually do this. Bucket out the middle a tiny bit more to your liking. Raise the high end and bass too..
Put on some dope ass headphones that are over-ear, not ear buds because you wont get the quality.
Without Beats Audio working, even with an EQ it will sound a bit flatter. B/A is an enhancer sorta like WMP used to come with.
I thought Beats Audio was lame and would leave it off, but after using it, it sounds pretty good to me
Final step: turn the volume up to your favorite fast punk tunes. Hip Hop and top-40 wont sound as good. Anything by Lady-Gaga will break your phone and melt your ears.
Cheers!
Poweamp with loud speaker is excel

I actually like beats. I agree it can be achieved with proper eq settings but I still like it. I think its personal preference.

I just wish my friends would stop treating beats like best thing ever. They look good (the headphones not my friends ) but that's all. I don't see the point of paying $100 for a pair of headphones unless you work with music at a editing level and at that point there are better headphones made professionally for this duty. I find my stock GS3 headphones to be amazing.
HTC incorporating them into their phones is a different story: an equalizer is a good thing and it's a good business move since people ARE that dumb to find an excuse to pay for such products.

I don't work with music...and I have a $200 pair of headphones (did get them on sale for $150)...I just like amazing sound quality...no they are not beats cause as you said beats only look good. I got audio technica ATH-M50s.
If you really enjoy quality music then nice headphones are worth the investment...you'd be surprised all the extra "sounds" you hear with a quality pair of headphones...
Basically you don't need to be working with music in order to have a need for $100+ headphones...just a love for music
If I wasn't so into androids and software development I probably would be a house music producer...my bro is a hobby DJ and a hobby progressive house producer...I tried my hand at making some house songs and I just couldn't find the time to figure those programs out....a lot harder then it looks (coming from a guy that works with android from source...)
BTW...I wouldn't say I'm an audiophile, but I am the kinda guy who won't download or buy any music that's under 320 kbps...even before I got nice headphones I could tell the difference...now that I do...that difference in quality is huge
Didn't really mean to rant lol but I think I've made my point...Headphones are worth the $100+

Hi
Is your nexus s rooted/voodoo sound? The incs is no match for the nexus s. Sorry to say, but the incs has a no name crappy DAC. The Nexus s has a nice Wolfson DAC (i think?)
I nearly bought a nexus s just because of the music quality. Its still supposed to be the best phone for sound quality.
But, if you have a DSP eq installed its better but not as good imo
Hope that helps and doesn't steer you away from this beast phone

Audio threw headphones

Just wanted to ask if the audio threw headphones is any good. I know on the last few transformer devices it was very poor in my opinion.
I like Asus products but poor audio quality is a killer for me.
Thanks for any help with this.

It's so much better. On my TF700T last year, the mic was always a lose connection. I always found myself pushing it in at random times, throughout the day. Now it's tight and very snug with the TF701T . I own Sony's MX- DR10 headphones that retail at 199.99. Last year, I was able to have the volume on full blast and a had very low sound. Not so now, I can't go full volume without hurting my ears. Such an incredible difference!

Hey Don.. you really need keep asking. Headphones on any tablet will sound better. You should hear the new kendle hdx 8.9s speakers.. thats how a tab should sound. So unless you ALWAYS have headphones this ONE speaker is awful.
