Is there a way to really raise the volume when playing music through the audio jack? I have it plugged into my car and it's just unacceptably too low.
I'm sure this is something that could be easily hacked, is there any methods out there? I downloaded and bought louder volume hack from the market, doesn't really do the job.
I just don't know what it is. When playing music through an Aux input, it just sounds muddled and low. I don't remember this with my droid. Any suggestions?
Just before the froyo leak, voodoo sound was being implemented into eclair kernels that was truly amazing. Voodoo sound made use of the good headphone amp within our device that samsung seemed to have neglected. But the developers are at the mercy of the froyo source code being released for our phone for that feature to be added to the froyo kernels. I really really really miss voodoo sound.
Voodoo sound thread.
good day.
Things like this are the reason I don't want froyo yet.. It sucks no new stuff is gonna be made for dj05, its such a good rom.

Sure you can.. You just have to revert to dj05 or dl09..

You could use an app called Poweramp. It has an equalizer with preamp volume slider.

I for one use my phone as my main MP3 player in the car, and after using the new Dragon Kernel with voodoo sound the difference was absolutely flipping amazing. Just the battery died so fast that it wasn't even worth it.
So I ask you this. Is KA5 Kernel with Voodoo and Voodoo Sound possible? Does it already exist? AM I ASKING TO MUCH!?!?!
I for one would personally like to see this, any takers?
it does not exist. your best option would be to flash Nero V5 ( this is KA5 )then flash dragon kernel 2.8 so that u will have voodoo sound and buy a car charger. i have Nero V5 and dragon kernle too so i know how short the batterty life is. despite that, it's still long enough to get you through a day especially if u have a car charger and a home charger. better option will come in a short future. have faith
Thats Sad news, your post brought to my attention the existince of such a thing as voodoo sound. Man that blows. The new KA5 that comes with Nero 5 is giving me grief so I may give that other one a go.

sure it's possible.
As soon as we get KA5 source code, you'll have your kernel.
yes, curiosity piqued, please explain this Voodoo sound you speaketh of
I'm in the same boat, I LOVE the sound in my car, but I can't stand the battery life, might just give in, and go back to 2.8

I second this. There exists a Voodoo kernel that improves sound quality?
this is proof

I'm waiting for Voodoo sound on a Vibrant kernel too... The ridiculously poor battery life of Dragon Kernel makes it a deal breaker
Haha yes. Samsung...SOURCE CODE. RELEASE IT YOU ****ERS...
But while we wait in agony, there IS an app which does the SAME thing as Voodoo sound. The drawback is it has to do it in software continuously hence its less elegant than Voodoo sound.
HOWEVER, it has NO effect on battery life. Maybe 1% total...I wouldn't call it anything really.
It is called Audioboost. I believe you can find a paid version of it on the Market now, or if you're willing to look, there is a free version of it in burried in the Galaxy S I9000 dev forums. Hope it helps the great lot of you while we wait for Voodoo sound to make it into the kernel.

Not being an ass but google "voodoo sound galaxy s" and one of the top websites will explain it completely, which is what I did.
Long story short though; Galaxy S phones have really good audio hardware but poorly written drivers. Supercurio (VooDoo creator) has written VooDoo sound to compensate for this. Unfortunately it's based off the i9000 and not Vibrant so if you want it you will need to flash a Voodoo sound compatible kernel.
Personally I am going to hold out for TW or someone to write it into their ROMS which will be when the source for US is leaked *hopefully*. I am just too happy with everything else on my phone to start mixing and matching.

Buahahaha, no it's true. I had to research it myself aswell cause I could believe it.
I am here to testify, voodoo sound is worth its weight in gold. The most current version of dragon kernal can be found on teamwhiskey.com, dragon kernal v2.8. Its louder and clearer, literally like night and day.
I downloaded the Over clocked version of dragon kernal, and its burning fast. But yes the battery will require me some car charging to get through the day. Not a big deal. My only issue is it freezes from time to time requiring a reboot. But voodoo sound, yes give it to me baby!
Hey guys, I've just recently gotten my SGS2, and I'm loving it!
One thing that I've noticed, however, is the... I guess "power" of the sound card?
I don't know what to call it, but my SGS1 with the Voodoo Sound app was much more "powerful" than my SGS2.
I am gauging this by the volume that I have to set my car sound system at when I plug either phone in... (SGS1 was at a good volume at 25, but with the SGS2 I have to turn it up a little higher to get the same affect.
Is it just a matter of playing around with the EQ or is it the phone or is there an app?
Thanks in advance!

try playing with the equaliser and also are you using any custom roms? cause if you are try batistarom or a rom which has dspManager in...gives you that extra bass....
Also found that the 2.3.5 rom improves the sound both in quality and also a small amount of volume. I actually stopped using dsp manager for listening with my Klipse headphones since updating the rom, because the rom helped that much.
If not updating your rom maybe try dsp manager and turn off other equalizers so every program use only dsp managers equaliser.

There is Audioboost SGS2 in market. If you are rooted you can increase the overall volume.
Ahhh thank you very much for the replies, everyone.
I'm using DarkyRom2, KH3 at the moment.
Am I correct in saying KI3 = 2.3.5?
If so I've seen a few comments on the forums about a few little bugs with it, so I prefer to stick to KH3 for now.
Unless anyone can tell me that it is more stable and that KI3 is better?
If so, in what ways is it better or worse? (in your own opinions, of course)
And thanks for the suggestion warfanax, I'll check out the app!
The headset volume is not loud enough. I can't really hear any bass because of how quiet it is. I've used multiple applications to try to fix this and I've used a few different pairs of headphones. There is not much of a difference no matter what i do. Volume+ was making it loud enough on a gingerbread rom but on ICS it doesn't work that well. Is there anything i can do to make the volume louder? besides just messing with the dsp settings (that doesn't do much)
Thanks for your help.
Does the kernel have anything to do with this? There is something software wise that effects this. I just don't know what it is.
nobody knows of anything i can do? come on guys haha
My phone always blasts my headphones super loud regardless of the rom/kernel.

can you give me more details please. What app are you using, what headphones. Any EQ app?
I end up listening to podcasts @ about 50% volume and music @ about 70%, otherwise my ears would ring.
Maybe you are just hard of hearing?
I use amazon music, no equalizer or pandora for music.

What rom are you on?
I'm on cleanrom 1.6.5 sp1 and I don't have a problem with volume. Around 70% it seems loud enough.
If you are using a different kernal than stock, I would try going back to stock and seeing if anything changes. Try to rule out the kernal and/or Rom.

Yeah it defiantly has to do with my rom (ineffablis ICS). When i was on 1.0 it was working fine. I've tried other sense ICS roms and had the same issue. I don't know if others with those roms are having the problem. There is so much going on in those threads you cant ask anything..
This is what the sound was like on the stock rom with stock kernel. Its not like so low that its not worth listening too but one of the reasons i like a custom rom is because the sound is so much louder. There must be something specific that effects this... i wonder if anybody knows what it is. What exactly do apps like volume+ do? what files are they changing?
I can't listen to music at full volume with the ear buds, it's just too loud, and I like loud. Was that way on stock ROM & kernel with stock music player and is that way now on the set up listed in my sig with stock music player.
Have you tried using q-tips?

Haha I actually bought an ear cleaning kit because i thought that might be the problem too! lol but im all clean and its still quiet! could this actually be a hardware problem?
So i even switched roms. Im on ICSRedefined now. No difference. I think this is a problem with ICS. and again its not like the volume is terrible but with volume+ sound boost on a gingerbreadrom its way louder. So i guess there just isnt anything i can do on ICS? Nobody knows of what files volume+ effects?

It's not the ROM. I'm on the same one and have been on different ICS ROMs before this. I generally play the music at about 65-75% before it starts getting too loud using Souls and VModa Crossfades.

Sorry, that wasn't very helpful. I mean it's not the ROM itself. I think it might be an issue with your phone and the ROM. I also had an issue with a ROM a while back where the speaker volume was weak. I couldn't hear people talking when I had it on speaker phone. So, I think it's just something to do with your phone and the ROM. Ok, so this doesn't really help either, but others don't seem to have the issue like no one had my issue.
It's probably your phone man, some Rezounds are louder than others. I was messing around w/ the stock display Rez in a store today. Compared to my speaker it sounds pretty quiet and quite tinny. I wonder if different build dates have different speakers in them. Mine is loud and deep and has no issues at all.
using cleanROM ICS 2.3.
But if you need volume+ or equalizer for it be "loud enough" for you, then I don't know.
I think the phone stock is plenty loud enough without any add ons.
I agree
I agree that the volume is not as loud as gb roms. Still sounds good just not as good as on gb.
i've been on passion 13.1 for a while now and am looking for something with the best sound headphones for my flexsmart x2, i need something with full voodoo sound ten support and i just downloaded ics kiss v8.2 kernel hope that should clear somethings up mbut would like a rom with great sounding voodoo sound and dsp manager, if anybody has any ideas or suggestions in any field please let me hear them. oh yeah, when i look under kernel module options in voodoo sound i it won't say supported, is that okay?
subZero Kernel supports Voodoo10.
Since I'm not interested in running ics well you recommend me a good room for playing sound through the headphones?

Oh, I thought you stated you wanted to run an ICS rom. Hmm, CM7 is a decent choice, but I haven't run too many Gingerbread Roms myself. I really liked the Roms from TeamWhiskey, but support stopped for them, so it's hard for me to give them my full recommendation.
What is it that you're fully looking for in a rom? Do you want it based off of Gingerbread or Froyo?
If you're going to use CM7/MIUI - Mr. Apocalypse's 99 Problems kernel supports Voodoo Sound 10.

Well, if you've literally just turned your Vibrant into an MP3 player, I'd say pick your poison on the rom, as it sounds like Voodoo Sound 10 is the only thing you need.
Your description of needs has been pretty ambiguous so far. I'm honestly not even sure what you're looking for. If you need more, be specific on what you want/need.
Just start playing with roms and find one that appeals to you. Check out the Kernel Bible Thread in the Development forum if you're not satisfied with the suggestions I've offered.
Well I'm looking for something well working and low battery consumption, I don't mind going to froyo if I can get the best Sound out of it, I'm going to try moshiach but I would really like one with phone capabilities and I used to use simply galaxy

Flash Fishman's Bionix with Voodoo Kernel. Stable, long battery and Voodoo Sound. Plus everything works too.
Just an fyi Beats Music is nothing more than just OK. There is a a thread in the Q&A section about Beats and Froyo. Check it out before you flash it. IIRC it is included in the M tweaks.
Voodoo sound + PowerAmp + Bose in-ears = Sonic Eargasm. That is what I run daily for music, MLB At-Bat, Sticher, Jango, ...
I'll refuse the eargasm I like symphonics sounds and I'll download the bionics fishermans ROM and look into buying the Bose headphones and listen for a mello accent and try to check out the thread for the beats audio and read it then make my decision on if I want to flash it.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Its cool. Eargasm btw doesn't mean glass breaking volume. PowerAmp has like 9 EQs plus you can set your own. The Bose phones bring out the lower tones but balance them with smooth treble and nice mids.
I'd link that thread but my tablet is a little wonky tonight.
i may try to get voodoo sound ten on bionics fm
it seems that the bali kernel has voodoo sound nine so i'm going to try to get ten on biofishmen with using imortality 2.2. do u think it will improve?
Well back on my Droid Charge there was an app called Voodoo Sound Control (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.controlappdonate&hl=en) which did some voodoo magic to the audio hardware and made music sound incredible. For a phone, that is. It seems that Supercurio has stopped developing in general and I was wondering if any of you knew of any replacement apps for it. This app was used for a few Galaxy phones including the S1, S2 and Nexus I believe, so I figured thered be a few old fans out there who found the next best thing. Much love, appreciate any help
