I love Voodoo Sound and couldn't imagine my life without such qaulity in listening to music. But why does the Headphone Amp level reset with each reboot? Countless times I have acidently blown my ears and phones with it forgetting to set back the Headphone amp level.
Do you mean the -30dB reset? If so, it's been fixed in the latest app update (v. 1.0.5)
Cool...didn't even know that one existed.
I went ahead and bought it. However, upon reboot tonight the headphone amperage still defaulted to -3db and exceeded the Volume limit set at -10db. When I tapped on the headphone amperage only then did it reset itself the Volume limit at -10db. I guess this bug still exists?

Good day guys,
been reading a ton about the speaker issues of the transformer and I think mine might be unique. for some reason, my external speakers shut off at roughly 50% level and the only way to turn them back on is to plug and unplug earphones at a lower level. At lower levels, like 40% and lower, the speakers work fine but the moment level go past 50, they shut off specifically when the DB level I'm guessing reaches a certain point. Not sure if it might due to faulty wiring and I'm not so sure I can fix it if it is, or even know where to start. earphones work fine though.
any thoughts would be immensely appreciated.
installed the new prime and now the speakers won't even turn on when I plug/unplug my headphones. so basically now, zero external speakers action. sound only through the headphone jack.
any thoughts? thanks in advance!
Same problem here, i some roms using nvflash tool, but still no luck...
Is there an app that increase the volume pass the max amount? The headphone volume output on my DVP is really low compared to my ipod. In my car i have to crank the volume up to almost twice the amount compare to my ipod.
nope .don't think there will be
Same on my Omnia7, and since the last official update it got even worse.
It sucks.
Mango made my one much better for music via speaker/headphones.
Phone call via loud speaker is also better but rest is the same sadly.
While driving I always hook up my cellphone (in this case a Nexus 5) to my car stereo via bluetooth for music streaming. And out of an irrational fear of battery draining too fast, I always keep the cellphone volume as low as possible and rather pump up the volume rocker on the car stereo itself.
Lately I've been wondering if the volume level on the cellphone (while bluetooth streaming) actually makes any difference on battery consumption.
I mean is not like the cellphone speakers are being used, but still getting the cellphone volume up actually makes the car speakers sound louder so... what do you say?
I've search info on this question across the web to no avail (It may be a silly one anyway but still... enlighten me please ).

Can't imagine that it would, since the bluetooth service is running regardless of volume level, and battery usage is predicated on the time the service keeps your phone awake.
While I can imagine that there is a theoretical, but completely miniscule difference in sending audio where the high bits are always zero (it might compress a hair better), I can't believe that it would have any impact on your battery life.
For best audio quality you want to use as many bits as you can when in digital -- less background noise and low-level distortion. That means turning the BT volume up and the car volume down. Unless you've got your tone, bass boost, thump-thump-erator, or other effects turned on, that means basically max BT volume on the phone.
Pretty sure volume control for bluetooth streaming is all done in software, so lowering the volume does nothing but make things hard to hear.
If you're THAT concerned about battery life, having the Bluetooth radio on at all should give you nightmares...
I've heard that the internal DAC in the S7 is really weak, but is it really this weak? When I listen to music with headphones, I have to raise the volume to ~80% just to sound like how ~30-40% would sound on most devices. This is the same with both wired headphones and Bluetooth headphones
Its fine. Much much louder than my previous sony xperia z3 compact
It most certainly is not fine. At roughly 66% volume, I cannot hear anything when I'm on an airplane. I travel a lot for work and have to crank the volume up past 90% just to listen to podcasts when flying.

I have no issues with it. It depends on the source and type of headphone. Stock headphones are not sealing type so there no way it's going to cancel out airplane. Get sealing earphone and it'll be too loud.
I have volume problems too. Actually at 1-3 notches sound gets cut off!
To clarify it goes from decently loud at the 4+ to well I can't hear half the things at 3 (drops in and out). What I can hear is still loud enough. At step 1 I can hear about 20% at the volume in expecting and the rest is silent.
Then to make things worse, call volume keeps resetting to step 2 or 3. I'd take a call and max it out then next call it will be at 2/3 again.. I believe some app is setting the media volume to call volume. But I have no new apps and did not have this problem on S6.

You should try this mod , IF you're rooted and have a custom recovery. Works really well.

I don't use stock headphones and i always use sealing types in airplanes. When I connect to my car via the aux port, i have to run full volume on the phone and two notches down from full volume on the car stereo to match sound levels from my OPO. My stereo settings go from 0-40, i run 38 with the S7. OPO i can set the stereo to 30 and it matches S7 volume.
I've noticed if I have maps or a GPS running after the GPS uses the speaker, it can use the "full" volume again until I remove and plug a auxiliary cable again. It's a dirty work around but it is effective.

Go to sound quality settings and bump the equalizer all the way up. Can also turn on hearing aid assist

Since I got my S6 last November, I have been happy with it. I've got a new case for it, a screen protector, but even then I took such care with it because I know how much power it holds and how bad I would feel if I lost it or broke it. After the last two weeks, I've had something very strange going on with the media audio levels. I can continually keep pressing the volume button up, and the volume gets louder. But, when I get two "steps" away from maximum volume it seems that at that spot it is the highest it can go, 100%. If I press the volume up button again, it seems like it goes down to 95%, and it's full volume, 90%. I cannot think of a reason why it would do this, other than the fact that I have taken it into some areas with a high humidity level, like in the bathroom while running a hot shower, or in a locker room after football practice. I'm not sure that this would only affect the speaker, but for my issue with the speakers, not. I have tried this with the internal media player, YouTube, Spotify, Pandora, Samsung Milk Music, and Google play music. Not only have I tested it out with the internal speaker of the device, I've tried with Apple earpods, the old Apple earphones, the Samsung earbuds that came with the device, my Sony Bluetooth headphones MDR zx770bt, my Bose Bluetooth speaker, a Pioneer amplifier, boom headphones, Sennheiser Headphones, and even hooking my car up to it with an aux cable. I don't know why this is happening, and I don't know how to stop it. Can any of you help me or have you had this experience before as well?
