So I'm kind of a big drum and bass fan, my cars kitted out with a quality VIBE sound system and sound quality means alot to me. I just plugged in my skullcandys to my phone, started streaming some songs through Zune. I then turned on SRS in the sound enhancer and OH MY GOD! The sound quality is AMAZING! I never experienced anything like this on my iPod. I will most deffinately by purchasing my Zune pass once the trial runs out!
SRS really does kick out the bass.
Not suitable for all music but when you want to melt your brain it's amazing.
just remember using any type of sound processing consumes battery life. the more aggressive the sound enhancement the worse the hit on battery life. this is more so for mobile than it is for other cpus. it comes down really to instruction set built into the cpu, and how optimized they are
can anybody tell me what the name of the application is and where on the fone i can find..Thanks

the Sound Enchancer app can be found in the marketplace under HTC Apps.
Yeah the battery life isn't to good. I'm considering getting another battery or waiting for someone to make a legit 1500mAh battery
good taste in music, noticed the same litening to Logan D
This is probably just me but I have no battery complaints. I have an hour commute to work; So I literally stream about 2 hours at least. I surf the net when i can. text a lot (by my standards about 30 - 40 on average). Watch podcasts that i've downloaded via Zune.
In essence from 6am when I unplug the phone till about midnight when I plug it back to charge I'm good. Compared to my HD2 I would have been out of juice with just 2 hrs of slacker only.
Yea...I am a great DnB and DUbstep lover myself!! SRS DOES make a lot of difference!!
Hi!
After a ton of requests from you guys, I finally decided to take the challenge to write a Voodoo Sound port for this WolfsonMicro WM8994 powered phone.
So I bought a device just for that, because it was just impossible without.
As stated previously, this phone don't have a proper sound driver, or at least not a Linux Kernel driver.
There is some kind of non-standard userspace audio implementation inside /system/bin/nvrm_daemon.
This daemon sends directly i2c commands via a NVIDIA proprietary API, which has an interface running as a bunch of foreign code in Kernel in order to access the hardware.
Why this port is a real technical challenge, requiring a fair share of reverse-engineering, lots of head-scratching and a very hacky state of mind?
Because it's not supposed to be possible. But, eh ^^
I have an Optimus 2x since a few days only so I don't have much experience about what needs to be improved, apart from the obvious:
- Sound quality.
- Headphone amp volume.
- Creepy speaker output.
As usual, most of my work is under GPL and Kernels developers/packagers are welcome re-using my patches.
If possible, I'll also write an in-app implementation, not requiring a patched kernel in Voodoo Control Plus.
You can follow the dev work here:
github.com/project-voodoo/linux_lge-p990/commits/froyo-voodoo-sound
I commit code real-time so if you're curious you don't have to wait for release to play with it!
PS: targets are Optimus 2X official and CyanogenMod, G2X official and CyanogenMod
That would be real great... yeah sound quality needs a boost up. Thanks in advance.... i have big hope for it to work
Me too, that would be great

sounds great, can't wait
Awesome !
Yeah damn proprietary drivers. Wanted to port your stuff from the nexus s but then yeah.. nearly everything is closed : /.
Anyway you are way more skilled then me so let's see what you can do
For headset boost you can have a look at this https://github.com/VorkTeam/vorkKernel-LGP990/commit/7db46bc4a778dc89d6de7d1550c8e3b3d0fe00a1.patch . It's just a finished sysfs implementation started by lg. DebauchedSloth wrote it (found it here ). He wrote a app for it too Github.
Freaking awesome! SGS, Asus transformer and now 2x, you're rocking dude!

Looking forward to this and will make a donation as soon I HEAR any improvement on my LG O2X CM7 running device.
Nice can't wait for this!

With MIUI coming officially next week, it would be nice if it is included too. Just a suggestion but welcome onboard the O2X community
Brilliant
Voodoo sound is the main thing I really miss having from the Nexus S

neeeeed
can't wait
really hope you can make this work
does this mean that a2dp will work after youre done?
if yes this would be frikkin awesome
This is perfect! The sound (n battery) is The main reason for not using fr org. For me its a trade off because I really line the org. camera. This way I can stay org. With great sound! (FR org. Sucks I think).
Thank U

Sorry for this noob question but what is difference between voodoo sound and dsp manager or volume+ ?

No pb!
Voodoo sound work directly at hardware level.
This way I can fix issues at the lowest level, use the full potential of the sound chip, increase quality.
Other solutions are software effects: cannot improve the sound quality or increase the volume for real, eats some CPU and add latency.
BTW I found theoretically how to hook Voodoo Sound driver without flashing a custom kernel yesterday, I'll try the concept today.
This way, Voodoo Control Plus should be able to load the driver on rooted devices.
sounds good when do you think it will be ready
Some said it worth buying since it has nice effects (like Beats emulator etc), but it generated much sound distortion while using it.. I also have DSPManager (I turned it off when I used Volume+) and it has much clearer sound! So, is it just me, or it really doesn't worth its price?
I like volume+ better since it has the ability to amplify the phone speaker sound (which DSP manager can't do.)
If you're getting distortions, maybe you're putting in too much bass?
I think voodoo sound is much better if you are talking about boosting headset.. and its free if you use kernels which has merged the voodoo control codes. If not, there's the paid plus version but only works for stock kernels.

voodoo plus works with any kernel. the app loads the sound modules it self. you only need to have root.

I have tried voodoo plus on some beta custom kernels before, it won't install the drivers needed to run because of it detects incompatible kernel. Just sharing my experience..
LilProphet:
DSP manager is better than any sound enhancement app I've ever tried, so if you're listening to music through headphones then I'd definitely recommend DSP. It also really depends on what kind of music you listen to, I know for fact that it works wonderfully with house, dubstep, hardstyle and hip-hop. Just the genres that require some nice bass boost
But I never really listened to music through the phone's speakers, so I cannot say whether or not DSP is better than the rest there.
And no, xilv3r, there's a whole bunch of kernels it does not support

How i can highest the sound of the possible in my SGN??
OR I WILL SELL IT
HOW BECOME IS THAT DEVICE IS BIG AND THE SOUND IS WEAK HAA ??
Cuz it's just got one tiny speaker on it..... Learn to live with it, there's nothing you can do :-(
Use voodoo louder...

Woodoo louder is only for the headphones output.

i used volume+ on my galaxy nexus which had the worst volume output i have ever seen, worked like a charm though and should work similarly for the note....
I use Vodoo Louder for headphones, although I am disappointed as all hell that upgrading to ICS only gives me up to +3db boost versu the 10.5db boost I had on GB. I asked Supercurio via email, twitter, and xda, and I haven't been given a response...not sure why I support him anymore to be honest.
I now pretty much use Volume+ for BT, unit speaker, and headphones.
I'm building a new ROM for my new Xperia Z right now mainly for even better audio quality. However, it'll take a while as I plan to try rebuilding audio driver library file for lower latency. Right now I'm on vacation staying at my parents' house so I decided to build this sound mod for Samsung WM8994 devices instead since I have good chance to reunite with all of them right now.
FidelityXAudio is based from PureXAudio for Xperia Z/ZL made by ZeroInfinity. I asked him for permission to derive his works with mine for all-in-one sound mod I plan to release for various devices that support Alsa driver. For this first release, it'll support Nexus S, Galaxy S, Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Tab 10.1 and all variants. Installing this mod will give you the following features below.
Features:
Rooted & Busyboxed - This will replace current root and Busybox with latest SuperSu and Busybox. Since most root access for Xperia Z I tested are so unreliable getting bootloop after mounting system rw, I'll force better ones in this package to avoid that problem.
exFAT support - If you're using Android JellyBean ROM but still not have exFAT support yet, this may help you getting one. It works for Xperia Z/ZL but haven't tested for others yet.
init.d support - This isn't cheap recovery flash init.d script. It'll execute init.d script with root access from hardware boot script level so it works far better than conventional ones for locked bootloader running stock kernel.
Xperia Fidelity script - It's ultimate sound quality mod script I've been developing for years. Not only get you better sound reproduction but also make your system smoother as well.
PureXAudio engine - As FidelityXAudio is based on PureXAudio mod, most PureXAudio features are availble except audio effects and specific sound card stuff. I may consider adding them back later though.
Low latency tweaks - My tweaks inside PureXAudio for lower latency Alsa configuration. Not sure how much of it works though as real measured hardware latency won't change without modifying driver.
Mastering 64-bit quantization - The most accurate 64-bit floating point quantization in Android. I usually end it with 32-bit integer mode but this sounds better for crazy upsampling level.
DSD128 audio processing at 5.6MHz - This will give you high resolution audio simulation. The real sampling rate will still be 44.1KHz but with 128x upsampling for audio processing before downmixing is really something.
Fidelity nVIDIA audio configuration - Optimized for more direct bitstream with lower latency. Only for Tegra devices though.
Removed DSPManager for more solid audio performance - This mod breaks DSPManager in CM ROM so no point in keeping it and you probably won't need it anyway after hearing sound with this mod.
Download: PureXAudio v1
You can't flash this on other devices as it can break audio with incompatible sound card configuration. I tested on my Nexus S, Galaxy S, Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Tab 10.1 and they're all working fine. Guess not many people still use them nowadays but they're great ones for sound quality wise. I'll update again for APQ8064 based devices in next version after releasing new Xperia Z ROM.
Wait I'm trying it will report back soon:thumbup:

Yeah its working well and i can hear a little bit difference in the sound but the music sound is loud now So, its working awesome :victory::highfive::good:
I can use this on 4.2.2 rom ?
It's designed for JellyBean ROM so yes.

Yes i tried on a JellyBean 4.2.2 Rom and it is working well :good::good:
Don't know if its a placebo but I seem to be able to crank up the volume much higher now before it starts to sound distorted, on lower volumes I cant hear any difference
anyway thanks for the mod will start using it daily and probably damage my ears :laugh:

Huh?.. can you speak up.. I can't hear you over this great mod!!
someone please reup this, thanks
Will this mod work alongside voodoo sound, or is it an alternative?
It works alongside with Voodoo Sound. Actually, I added my own Voodoo Sound tweaks as well. Some may not like it but that's what I prefer.

What headphones/earphones/speakers do you usually use with your devices?
This information is useful for me. Thanks! :good:
I used to try all in market years back but now I don't really care much even R10/Orpheus failed to make my desire go wild now.
My current favorite earphone is Martin Logann Mikros 70. Not very bang for bucks but easy to wear with mic and bass sounds like speakers with dynamic driver in that long housing.
My current speakers is Rockport Ankaa. I like it more than its newer Avior models.
hello I flash this but I don't think is working for me..i don't find any different ...
I install busybox again with busybox.apk is ok ??
If you already use other soundmods, maybe it's possible that this won't work. Otherwise, I don't see any reason why not as I already included root/busybox/init.d stuff.

I don't use other soundmod.. I don't know maybe I don't understand the sound ... for busybox I install 1.21.0 ..
It works on JellyShot 4.2.1 v1.3? I flash it with CWM? I have Voodoo sound... It works fine too?
i'm sure that you will make this face when I tell you that i'm using CyanogenMod 7.2...
... so the question: it's only for 4.2.2 roms or it will work with every android os?
Should there be an app to control this?
Me Gusta!
