Ensure that your headphone volume is not muted. also check whether what is your default device for music playing in your phone.??????

Phone speaker should mute when u plug a headset, but it doesn't. Keeps playing with phone speaker.
So you mean my phone should be compatible with beats?
(I plug & use my PC's speaker without problem)

Your headphones sound a little distord?? or with more treble?? if is true, is a impedance problem, try to test on a samsung device or an iphone and feel the difference. Other test can be press the button to answer call on the mic, and hear if the sound is better.
Sorry for my bad english

As i said it's f##ked up.
I tested it on ipad too, it's just a little louder comparing to x8.
I used dsp & changed configuration to vocal boost, it's better but still lack of quality.
Never mind I'll talk to seller guy tomorrow. Hope he give my money back

I have the same problem with all Nightly versions. On some, headphones and speaker work at the same time, on others the device is not recognizing the headphones and plays on speakers.
It is not the headphones as it works ok on other roms or stock. Also I am using original Sony-Ericsson MH-810 (3,5mm) handsfree or SonyEricsson headphones and the media buttons work just the sound won't switch to headphones only.

[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

The last two answers are just for fun or you guys don't understand english? He is talking about the sound through thephone's speaker!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
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
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
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

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!

I want to find beatsaudio app!!

I flashed a lot of zip file of beats audio so when i play music i can't see beat logo in smart bar.so i want to find beatsaudio app and when play music beataudio logo will appear or the same zip file.
I haven't heard of any beats audio app. Are you sure you haven't seen a modded music player? Just with new icons and stuff?
Chris is right.You might have seen a music player app with a beats audio on taskbar++REAL BEATS AUDIO IS FOR HTC PHONES ONLY !!!
PS-why is eveyone crazy about beats audio.Why do you want it??Its just like bravia engine and xloud with MINIMAL difference...

[Q] Help. Beats Earphones not working. Any solutions?

I have a Beats Tour with Controltalk. When i plug it in and play music, it's very distorted and garbled. However, when i press and hold the central button (the shiny silver circle slap bang in the middle of the little controller on the earphones), the music plays clearly till i release the button. Then, back to before. I even tried installing the Beats Module by CKKnot, but to no avail. Any solutions would be grateful.
Thanks

I think there is a special extra jack or adaptor that you have to put on the tip of the plug of your headset so that it will fit well to the socket of the x8...

Are you using a custom rom ? Maybe flashing to stock and try to listen to the music.. If that doesnt work it must be something with hardware..
Maybe this can help you.
hold on a sec ... ghost sounds u say .. did u plug in HTC headphone ??? i think its a headphone jack problem or ur phone aux-in is dirty or something .. try different headphones or speakers .. i had this issue when i tried using my bro's HTC headphones !
Same thing here with the HTC headphones. I tried to listen to music with his HTC (dont know which one) headphones and I couldnt hear the voices, just a little bit of music

"- Where possible, arrange for the conversion of the songs (in background) below 256 kbps to 320kbps" lol thats the ugliest thing i've seen till now^^
If you really want to enhance audio quallity, buy good Headphones (no Beats or comparable) and use 10 Band EQ to tune the sound to what you like most.
Everything that's using Beats Audio is just messing up Audio Quality, its going to be far away from how it should sound, there are many reports in how beats audio works and how ugly it is, especially when using better Hifi-Headphones.
i flashed this and now sound quality is very good but volume is low ex. max vol on phone same as computer at 2/5 vol. normal? i think it were bit louder earlier. you feel same? Poweramp gain and direct sound made it better though.

thanks! I just flashed it and my music sounds a lot better, and indeed i dont have the noise anymore too.
I recommend you freezing it instead of uninstalling it straight.
To reinstall freezing is simpler too. Just defroze it and restart your phone.
However if you have uninstalled it you will need to reflash.
