[Q] [REQ]Beats Audio on the Samsung Galaxy S II - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The guys over at the desire hd forum section have come up with a custom rom for the device made out of a leaked ruu from the unreleased HTC Runnymede. The rom has one feature that will certainly be very desirable in the next couple of weeks, Beats Audio. Now as i understand, the beats integration should be mostly software(like the beats audio laptops from HP). SO, the question is that can it be soft ported to the SGSII?
p.s. oh and if im in the wrong section, do tell
BTW, HTC Sensation XE is another beats audio device(can be used as anothet source!)

Fantastic idea. Would love to see this at our sgs2.
Maybe you could contact the vodoo developer. It think it's supercio. He's is very friendly.

Although he is a very friendly person indeed, I doubt that he'll start implementing this for SGS2. The reason is the same as for the lack of Voodoo Sound feature, a different and a bit less efficient sound chip used in SGS2 (The original SGS has Wolfson WM8994 and Samsung replaced it with Yamaha MC-1N2 in SGS2). I'd see it more likely for the original SGS :-/

people telling Cyanogen much better
oh and The Galaxy S II uses audio hardware manufactured and branded by Yamaha

Doesnt matter who made the hardware.. Do you think they put monster equipment in all hp laptops? As with all such marketing gimmicks, this has to be software based tweaks and heaven knows we need better audio output

great idea !! anyone tried it on other hardware ?? is it working with monster beats without pilot or it neets to be with pilot edition ?? and will there work monster beats with pilot (iphone edition) i mean as i know ther is diffrent polarisation in jacks... so we need to wait for new editions of earphones ??

Im supporting this yeahh.. must admit that the audio output ftom sgs2 is weak indeed.. my old htc desire sounds better even with cheaper earphones... and i really dont like the 'fakeness bass sound' in SGS2

(UNRELATED QUESTION) i just recalled another feature in our phones that needed some usage, fm transmission. I read somewhere on xda before launch that the broadcom chipset inside had nnot only BT 4.0 but also this capability. I for one, think that fm transmission is one killer feature

Not only that, but you'd think those developers would agree that since audio on the SGS2 is actually worse, the need for such software is even greater... I can't understand why they won't develop it where it's obviously most needed...

Put simply, the sound from the S2 is FLAT with hardly any bass. You may also hear regular interference like hissing sounds due to the phone's design.
Even simpler, the audio output of the S2 = horrible

Are there any news ?

hacked camera and audio boost on GS2?

so im really getting ahead of myself here, but how long do you think it will be before we see a hacked camera and audio boost app? it took quite a while for them to appear on the first galaxy s.. i cant imagine having to go back to the old camera, where i have to stop music to take a picture, and camera is broken if my battery is 15% or lower.. as far as audio boost apps, what needs to happen in order for them to be created? i never really understood that behind the scenes work, does someone need to crack some software or something complicated? or is it something we might see right away? or better yet, since the galaxy s2 is based off the s1, would the galaxy s specific apps work on the s2?
for the audio boost like voodoo sound they have to add an additional audio driver onto the kernel stack.
i'm not sure if the sgs2 will use the same audio chip as the original sgs though, that's something the devs will have to look into

[Q] Voodoo Sound for Galaxy S II (i9100)

Hello world!
So, before having the Galaxy S 2, I had a Galaxy 3 i5801, and one of the innovative features that have appeared (IMO) was the "Voodoo Sound".
The developer "marcellusbe" (i think) made the port of "Voodoo Sound" for G3, which is now used in almost all custom kernels for this device.
With this, I'd like to know when this fantastic function will be developed for our Galaxy S II
Galaxy S2 lacks hardware specs for Voodoo sound.its not possible.

Karan.

Are you sure?
So, the Galaxy S 2 (that is a highEnd quality phone) has worst sound hardware than the G3?

Cant compare it to the G3 but yes...the Yamaha chip doesnt output the sound quality as the original Galaxy S.
It lacks bass and gets distorted.
I as a SGS2 user, am satisfied using the in-ear earphones from Sony and Sennheiser CX180.
But when i use my Sony MDR V700 DJ headphones, there is absolutely no bass and the volume too is very very low.
i too am very much disappointed with the sound quality of the GS2.

I too hope voodoo sound will find its way on the SGS2! In the meantime (as with the SGS1) I developed AudioBoost for this device to have a more powerful output (I use it mostly attached to my car hifi)...and I think it works great coupled with PowerAmp player (the stock Samsung's one uses some ****ty equalizer which provides lots of distortions)!
So in my opinion the chip is not that bad (of course the other one was better, but less powerful), it just needs good equalization!

AudioBoost is available for galaxy S 2?
I want voodoo sound only to attached to my car hifi too.
On my old G3 I used the "headphone amplifier" option to increase dB without distortion to have more volume.
i can confirm that audioboost works really well with poweramp...even with stock headphones the sound is great using the above combination.

Care to explain? Voodoo Control "THIS ITEM IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR DEVICE"
If you want to improve your sound output, you can try dsp manager! There is thread for dsp on sgs2!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Any tips on improving sound recording as well?
Tried recording at a few concerts and it was utter crap (just like the sgs originally was before the voodoo improvements). Massive distortion and noise and crackling.
Such a shame from such a powerful device...

As someone explained few posts before, the SGS 2 Hardware does not support voodoo sound!
I heard rumors that supercurio is working on Voodoo sound for SGS2? Found nothing at github, but is it true?

No, he has released an app that raises the volume, no voodoo sound as the dac is different.

Beats Audio And Galaxy Ace

do Beats Audio In ear tour work on galaxy ace??i mean do they work on any devices or needs supported devices like Sensation XE??
thx for your help +1
its an headphone why would it not work??
Are you looking to me?? i have an chinese ARMY !! (-(-(-.-)-)-)
its not just the headphone, its proprietary thingy htc put into the device itself.
personally i think its just marketing trick, maybe just some equalizer implementation, renamed as that "beats audio".
u can just install any equalizer from market and get similar effect, and maybe even better than beats audio.
take a look into our own chinese zckpa stock rom, it had louder audio volume compared to any other rom exist for us until now. its something chinese dev put into it to make it sound louder and better. its proof of similar thing can be achieve just in software (read:rom) level.

[Q] [C10-4.1.2] why the sound is so low? [explanation]

Hello all,
ok for now i'm on
CM10 4.1.2 6/1/13
kernel BLADE-CM10-201305041517
One x+ international
I tested some mod like acid audio, beat audio installer, awesome beat and many other, but it's impossible have the same "loud sound" we have on sense based rom...
why?

maybe it helps if I explain it here again for the future
the issue is that HTC is not delivering JB compatible audio drivers
with stock ROMS. We rely on this closed source drivers on tegra devices.
Fortunately we found a workaround by using the ICS drivers from the HOX
but those doesnt have propper support for the special HW that we
have in the HOX+ like the speaker amplifier
Nevertheless we using the international version are pretty happy
that this workaround actually works - whereas for the AT&T version
this HTC failure leads to an actual "dead-end" since voice call
audio is not working on this device

thank you very much for the explanation. I hope so that it will help others.
I added [explanation] in the title
I actually find the audio volume very good on the CM10 and AOKP 4.1 releases for international phones. For me the big difference is running a 4.2 based rom where the volume is much lower.

U39GT sound issues

Hello,
today I received my first android device, shipped from China manufacturer, the Cube U39GT tablet. It came with Android 4.2.2 , has an Cortex-A9 processor and Mali400 graphics card, 1920x1080 9" display and is generally really nice device. Altought I came across one big issue I dont know how to solve myself and it is the sound.
I didnt expect the sound quality to be any good since it is just a handheld device but the quality is really awful and pretty much unlistenable. It makes weird noise while playing through the main speakers and when earphones pluggen in and listening to a song, the singer sound like he is singing underwater or I dont know. Best description of the problem I can do with my english. I hope it is a software issue since both the speaker and earphones are having issues.
Is there anything I can do? Should I install a new ROM? If so please point me to some guide or something. Im getting hopeless.
Thank you all!

I asked a few questions.ใใใ

I'm interested in this model is fitted.
How satisfactory quality..?
and how much score 2D and 3D of QuadrantApp in PlayStore..?
I guess.. 2D and 3D score maybe more than 900 and 2000 ,or nearby, it work well.
.
Thank you
Hello there! sorry to answer so late, I sorta forgot about I posted here. Today I got pointed to a new ROM which should fix the sound issues so I will try that no. About the quality of the product I can say it looks and feels awesome Let me know if you are still interested in the scores and I will get them for you.

Hey, mind if I ask where did you buy the slate from? Is it directly from their official stores at Tmall? I have been searching for their truly "official" online store but it seems there are too many self proclaim "official" stores. Any guides on where to buy? I would prefer to buy direct then to go thru an authorized dealer.
