[DEV] Voodoo Sound for Transformer v1 for 3.0.1, 3.1. Feature requests and discussion - Eee Pad Transformer Android Development

Hi everyone!
Asus EeePad Transformer hosts a very nice audio codec by Wolfson that powers both the headphone and speaker output.
Its the ultra low power WM8903, implementing a midrange DAC (Wolfson-scale) that outputs a clean and musical signal, and my favorite Class W headphone amp, that gives a clean controlled and accurate output, and is able to drive full-size 300 Ohms headphones without distortion.
The transformer audio power stage is not as powerful as other device I tune so at maximum volume but I'm sure you'll be surprised by the capability of this amp if you compare it to any other mobile non-Voodoo device.
I might limit the maximum gain to +3dB to avoid saturation.
Voodoo sound is:
A control Android application
- Free version (semi broken on Honeycomb ATM, will fix soon): https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.controlapp
- Plus/Donate version: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.controlappdonate
Plus version gives the ability to get full Voodoo sound implementation without depending on a custom kernel. Root is required to load the additional driver.
Free version requires a kernel implementing Voodoo sound GPL patches as you'll find plenty on XDA.
Features of the v1 :
I'll be very accurate and describe the exact change so far.
As usual, you get what you see.
What Voodoo sound driver v1 does on transformer is mapping volume to the headphone amplifier hardware control.
In the standard configuration, here is how it works: Most time only half or less of the Dynamic Range of the DAC is used (depending on the current output volume) by trimming the signal amplitude in a digital way.
What brings the driver v1 is a maximization of the digital volume, so the system works really on 16bit instead of 12 or even less at low volumes. And instead of that you control directly the analog gain of the Class W headphone amplifier built in the codec.
It allows to get more powerful sound, like to drive full-size high-impedance headphones at desired volumes, but for most people using sensitive headphones (same for in-ear) the sound is improved because there's far less hiss by reducing the analog gain.
When you reduce the noise level, the sound is more clear and defined.
I have some more leads in development for this codec, like:
- better oversampling quality (128x oversampling, require also clock reconfiguration on the SoC)
- alternative digital filter to reduce the very high frequency intensity ( > 20kHz) in order to reduce the listening fatigue.
WM8903 doesn't support digital effects like parametric EQ or 3D effect so I won't be able to activate that, but there's still some headroom to improve the quality and neutrality of the response, audiophile-style
Here are measurements I made without any modification, on 3.1:

Planned features
- Better SRS presets for the speakers
- Maybe some volume boost for speakers if possible with reasonable quality.
- If usable and providing sufficient quality: customizable EQ & 3D effect using SRS software engine for the Headphone out.

Eyup.
Actually, it pains me to know that my Transformer now beats the crap out of my Zune HD in some areas, like soundstage and overall dynamics. Whatever voodoo hoodoo shmoodoo Supercurio's cooking on his kernel kitchen, I love it.

Yes its an additional driver built around the existing one in order to use the audio hardware in the optimal way.
Most manufacturer are happy enough when their device output sounds, but in many case the result can be improved, sometimes vastly.
And I must say.. its particularly interesting when the audio hardware is made by Wolfson, because you know the result can probably reach audiophile-quality levels!

Will this also help the tf's speakers? I've beem ok wirh the headphones but not the speakers.

Free version requires a custom kernel implementing Voodoo patches.
The first custom Kernel supporting Voodoo sound is this one, by Clemsyn! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109630
As stated in the description today the free App is semi broken (the manual volume slider crashes on Honeycomb, but the volume key mapping works)
I'm working on an update ATM.

Voodoo Control 1.0.7 finds the driver here: http://twitpic.com/5ei07e (only the volume key mapping works ATM)
If it's not detected it means your kernel actually running doesn't implement Voodoo Sound.
Note: Clemsyn published the kernel very recently!

Just tried your apk and it's pretty impressive, sound is clearer and cripspier when I play dungeon defenders with my kids and it seems louder than the Gtab now. Didn't even think my transformer will sound like this

You're talking about the headphone output right?
Because the speaker output is not (yet) affected. I hate to contradict people hearing improvements but I must sometime by integrity

Just dl'd the free version from the market to run with Clemsyns kernel and it seems to be working nicely. Thank you very much for the hard work.
Couple of requests would be:
1. Mic gain control
2. The stock music player always pauses when the screen is off. When using headphones you can hear what sounds like the headphone feed being turned off...

The Power of Suggestion is a powerful tool. Use it WISELY! LOL!!!!

Hey SC,
First, awesome job on getting this to Tf (bought the donate app awhile back for my Galaxy S, and now you're making me ha ppy with Tf).
Main feature request from my side would be mic sensitivity, this time the other way around was too sensitive on galaxys, needs pumping on tf. Also, if anything could be done to the internal mic quality on software level, would be awesome.
Thanks!
On a side note, I was sure i heard an improvement with speakers after installing control app, but that might be placebo effect.

Okay I'll take a look.
I'm already experimenting with Speakers ATM, messing with registers.
It seems its possible to boost a little bit the speaker output, but really only "a little bit": +2dB
I doubt anybody will notice, but it's still better than nothing.

[APP][3.0+] Around Sound - Have your phone pay attention while you enjoy your music

Update (4/11/2017): Updated the app to use the Superpowered audio library. Performance is greatly improved. Lag is pretty much gone.
This was my first app and recently just overhauled it with a lot of the updates I had been doing to Wave Control. I've decided to take this out of incubation in the device specific forums and put it fully out there. All feedback is appreciated!
Around Sound allows you to listen to music, watch movies, or play games and still be aware of your surroundings. It's meant for when you're using sound isolating earbuds like Shure or others that are basically earplugs so you have no idea what's going on around you.
It uses the mic on your headset or phone to listen around you. You set how loud a noise needs to be to trigger it. When a loud sound is detected, it pauses your music or movie for a timeout period. During this time, it feeds the outside sound through to your headphones so you can hear what's going on. After the timeout period it then resumes playback.
With games, you can use the non-pause mode which will overlay the outside sounds on top of the current audio. Usually the game audio will lower itself during this time. I would really like for games to support the pause feature. I've reached out to some developers but need everyone's help to request the feature be added to their favorite games.
Play Store Link:
Free Version
Some known issues:
1. Audio lag - when the outside sound is fed through there's about a 500ms delay. It's a known issue with Android. It's rumored to have been fixed in Jelly Bean (or there's some low level API's available to fix it) but I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. Finally fixed! Practically realtime now!
2. Bluetooth Mic Option - Currently only works with mono headsets and not the AD2P kind, adds lag
Some use cases:
- At the office: pause your music automatically when someone is trying to get your attention
- At home: Don't miss door slams, children crying, your dog barking, or other warning signs

- At the airport: Relax at the gate and have your music or movie pause when the gate announcements start

- Anywhere relatively quiet where you want to know if something happens around you
Permissions Needed:
Network Communications: Full Internet Access (For Ad Supported Version)
Phone Calls: Read Phone status (shuts off the audio processing during calls)
Hardware Controls: Audio Settings, Record Audio (to use the microphone, no audio is ever stored)
Coarse Location(Not GPS): For Ad Supported Version
Write External Storage: For Ad Supported Version
Billing: For in app upgrades
Bluetooth: For Bluetooth mic feature
Broadcast Sticky: For Bluetooth mic feature
Limitations:

-For Pause Music Mode: You can't be in a really loud environment otherwise the microphone input will be maxed out and there is no way to detect a louder sound. Use Street Mode instead
Developed on a Samsung Galaxy S7
I played with this a bit in a few of its earlier incarnations and I have to compliment you on the app. One thing I've wondered -- instead of muting the underlying app, would it be possible to play what the microphone picks up over the top of whatever being played?

i guees that is not possible ...hardware limitations
anyway if it is...would be a great addition
I hope someone can explain this to me. I'm not doubting it's a hardware limitation, I just can't understand what sort of hardware limitation it might be.

Yeah, it's possible. If you uncheck pause mode, it'll play over the other app. The way it's setup now, depending on the playing app, the music/movie might dip in volume. Alternatively there's Street Mode in the Pro Version that will play all sound above the trigger on top of your music/movie.

Woo hoo! Cool, thanks! Pro, here I come.
Any idea when you think you might be able to look into that lower latency JB API?

This is so genius! Installing now!
I bought Pro this morning and used it on my walk. Worked like a charm!
It was pretty bright out and my screen couldn't brighten enough to let me see the trigger slider. A suggestion: how about adding +5 and -5 buttons so I can adjust the trigger level without having to see the slider? I don't mean remove the slider, I mean add +5 and -5 buttons.
Got the pro just to support the Dev. Great idea and great work. Keep it up man!

Sounds perfect....
i saw this while ago and was going to use it but deleted it by accident and than forgot about it this has reignited me to use it now ill download it later.
any news on the bluetooth issue as i have bluetooth headphones and there not mono and was wondering if it work well or not with em?
Wow...this is great. Thank you.
I like the sound of this (No pun intended) but I've only got bluetooth stereo headphones with a mic. so I'll have to wait until it supports them.
App2SD would be nice ...

I don't have a set to test it with but I've gotten mixed feedback. Some stereo ones do work and some don't. Or.. it may be a particular phone's bluetooth implementation since it seems more like a bug in Android than a headset specific issue.
Please give it a try and let me know if it works!
Will this save me if I end up in the middle of a shoot out, and I have in noise canceling headphones? As bizarre as that sounds... I'm paranoid lol

Possibly... but I make no guarantees

So after un-intentionally (really, I swear!) ignoring my girlfriend while playing a game, I realized... I could use Around Sound with games.
So far the non-pause mode works pretty well with the games I play. I'm reaching out to some other developers to include the ability to pause when asked by Around Sound.
I need people's help to request their favorite game dev's to support auto-pause with Around Sound

[APP][11/10 UPDATE] NOOZY audio player + Noozxoide EIZO-rewire™ PRO

try to increase the dalvik.vm.heapsize in your build.prop
DEV FEEDBACK ABOUT COMMON ISSUES/FIXES:
## APK size
I’ve read the threads at the XDA forum, people curious about the noozy apk file size looking different from Google Play, whether after installed or extracted. It is a compressed archive with obfuscated content. Some people gets 4MB, 5Mb, 6MB more or less, noozy extracts itself some of its important components to use on RAM, apk becomes bigger due to noozy extracting the necessary firmware files from embedded sound chip and store it inside noozy apk for faster process. “noozy” actually relies on stock libs,works as a basic interpreter when emu starts and so you get sound altered by noozy. Thing happens basically like a PlayStation 2 emulator.
## If I push the eq button noozy crashes and restarts
No matter how heavily modded your Android is or if you keep flashing different new sound libraries, noozy will crash all the time due to the emulation failed to work properly.
## It crashed after about 45 minutes playing and android did not showed any warning at all, no pop-up window stating the app was stopped/FC
To run an emu on Android is a challenge, everything is just experimental. When noozy tries to get higher priority negotiating the root audio, if it fails, the whole playback process will just halt. We haven't put a warning message yet, so we put a threshold to prevent your phone going on mute forever until you reboot. So we just try to make something work.
## Everytime that i hit music it FC. Movies works well.
To be frank, noozy is a very basic player with several basic decoders, when noozy finds music files and search for the exact folder ([emmc]mnt/sdcard/music) and finds a music format that is not supported it will just fail (eg .flac format).
## While I play a file with the app in foreground, no problem; if I set it to background, for example i start browser, it continues playing, but after some seconds it stops.
Noozy + noozxoide + soundxemu consume a lot of CPU and RAM. It reaches 30-70MB or more. When the resources are not sufficient,noozy or noozxoide will cut itself and stop everything.
##UI and updates
Regarding to the UI experience, we will fix it as soon as possible, but the audio comes first. Noozy updates will end soon enough after the UI is good. There are also new things in the work related to Noozxoide Labs and Android. We will release the full sound-processor-based, no EQ, no conventional parametric filters. Hope we are not alienating users.
UPDATE 3.0.2.3 [11/10/2012]
- Fixed major bugs (lockscreen)
- Improved & reduced SoundXEMU-ALSA-SPU interpreter keep busying.
- Improved with higher priority on bypassing root-audio-effect and DRC (Dynamic-Range-Compressor) in order to get pure playback from the source keeps away loudness-war. (respect!!!)
- Added algorithm on Acoustic processing for higher vocal definition, and natural warm audio.
- 24bit(float) high-depth precision processing to for clarity and stunning audio.

hmmmm,i use Voodoo too and no problem here. btw to keep the Voodoo bass be sure to disable Psychoacustic Processor in Noozy. it may be a general problem then,not related to equalization. can you try to increase your vm.heapsize to 64? you can find it in the build.prop. make a backup of your build.prop first.

FAQ (Please read before running raccoon in audio)
Q: RA only smaller?
A: Yes, RA is a combination of several audio enhancer such as I have described above, to our use of noozxoide interface, but we simplify and modification. Our consideration is a small file so for those of you who have a small memory can also be shared in the RA, in addition to that we have some other considerations especially for low device.
Q: Is the RA safe to run?
A: Safe, because of the way RA is relatively easy to install and does not cause brick, bootloop when you install applications such as audio enhancer should use CWM, or push to the system. Besides applications like RA and other articles on tips droid always through testing stages before publication so that readers tips droid safely use our applications and tutorials. RA is also safe from viruses and mallware (tested with some antivirus on your PC and android and declared clear of viruses and mallware)
Q: RA can run smoothly on the android version is it?
A: Our RA test runs smoothly on the stock ROM and some custom ROM from several different devices both vendors (Samsung, LG, Sony, HTC, Hi-Sense) and type. In Gingerbread, ICS and Jelly Bean goes smoothly, but on froyo not work.
Q: After using RA why even a small sound effect almost no change?
A: In addition to RA, running or not depends on the compression of the song, when you use an uncompressed song irregularly, RA can not run optimally.
Q: My RA force close, what's the solution?
A: We minimize these events, some tests we did, but for some applications audio enhancer, I have tried to make the RA is compatible with other sound enhancer, but in some cases RA sometimes can not run smoothly with sound enhancer, if it happens, you should take the solution is please to freeze sound enhancer you have used before.
Q: Is the RA only have an effect on the music player?
A: No, the RA will provide overall audio effect, like on youtube application, browser, file manager that has audio player, ringtones and other (including voice when you call, but only a small effect to reduce noise so that the sound can be heard clearly when your phone, it also depends on your signal and your listener while also mic your speaker and your speakers)
Q: Is the RA can damage hardware audio?
A: RA helps you to optimize the audio hardware and software you. If you do the proper setting in RA, the audio device you will be more durable and optimal than not use RA, but if you are setting up the force in excess, will cause damage to your audio device.
Actually not only RA, but all applications enhancer and music players can damage your audio hardware, if you make the wrong setting volume dimaximalkan example, setting dimaximalkan without tolerance. Without the application of RA or audio enhancer memaximalkan even if you force a continual and regular basis, I can guarantee your hardware will be damaged, but it is less convenient when you hear the organ and can damage your hearing. DWYOR.
Q: How do I set RA is best?
A: For this question I answered "relative", we suggest you to try to do their own personalized settings, and the ability to tune your audio device. If you are confused you can find references on the internet how to set up the equalizer on the right and the best android.
Q: After using RA, why is music to be large or small volume suddenly?
A: Make sure you play good music and not compressed extrem, also make sure the bitrate of the song, make sure your music player and speaker capabilities of your audio device. Also make sure the RA runs and does not crash with audio enhancer you use before you install RA. Setting RA also affects the quality of the sound produced.
If it happens that you take is a solution uncheck audio compression options

This is indeed a wonderful tool to boost the audio experience , but there is a problem that while changing settings sometimes the volume suddenly increases which is painful to ears. If this thing is solved . Its almost perfect.

Whoa! This is amazing!
Believe it or not, today I was searching for best ways to record the screen directly yet I didn't find anything!
Now, I come home and see this!
This is what I call law of attraction!
EDIT: I just tried running the app on my Nexus 4!
It definitely works and the video quality is great, however, it does not work when the audio source is set to internal (It says the recorder cannot start).
Anyway, thanks a lot for sharing the app with the XDA community!
P.S. What's the link to Google Play store? I might as well purchase it.
Every time I try to start recording I get an error message (screen shots work fine).

This Internal source require high efficient audio encoders, so most devices won’t support it, I'm trying to fix it by adding new audio encoders.
Note: The Stereo Channels is needed if you choose Internal audio source. Just change Shou's settings to use stereo sound, then try again.
If you could provide some logcat output, will be great to help locate the exact problem.
I've write FAQ at https://shou.tv/pages/faq
The Google Play is not ready yet, thanks!!!

2. You must choose audio source as MIC or Internal to enable audio recording. The Internal source also requires you to enable stereo in most devices, just try it.

The mirroring can work with about 2 seconds latency and very unstable right now, so I'm trying to make it better, may take about one week to make it for testing.
The DLNA will be supported too, you can even view the screen with any video player.
Also, could you provide some information to help improve Shou?
1. What's your device and Android version?
2. Have you tried to change Shou's settings to test different features? e.g. Output format, Audio source, etc.
Really thanks!

I'm running it on an LG Optimus G (LS970 on Sprint) running PAC-man. App works flawlessly. I've changed all video settings and haven't noticed much change in how the app runs and records. I haven't tried audio yet, but so far it's amazing.
Just tried with my Razr M default settings running Paranoid Android and it's working so far. I'll post back after I use it some more.

Very impressed as a first app. Highly polished and working as advertised. I purchased since in looking more forward to the mirroring. I'm hoping it can incorporate Airplay audio streaming and maybe even Miracast streaming of audio only and not do any video encoding on device, particularly if this can save CPU and/or increase the audio quality and reliability.
Now, for the recording, it worked great with default settings but would not start after attempting to change audio quality.
I'm on Nexus 4, official CM 10.2 nightly (10/09/13).

Wavelet
Headphone specific equalization​
Introduction
Wavelet may be the most powerful equalizer for Android to date that doesn't require root or an unlocked bootloader. It is capable of processing audio system wide and supports optimal equalization settings for over 3300 headphones. That's way more headphones to choose from than the Sonarworks and Dirac android apps combined have to offer.
Supporting this many headphones has been made possible by Jaakko for letting me use his awesome AutoEq project.
Features
The app features a minimal UI with plenty of options for customization:
You can use AutoEq to equalize your headphones to the Harman standard. The graph visualizes the compensation applied.
There's a 9 band graphical equalizer you can use fine tune the result or set up when your headphones don't appear to be available in the database.
The effects section offers effects such as bass boost, virtualization and reverberation. There's a bass tuner option too to give your beats that little extra thump, or reduce bass if you're not a basshead.
At the bottom you can find the gain controls. There's a limiter allowing you to reduce dynamic range and a channel balance feature for when you find one channel playing too loud or if you just want to reduce the overall output volume.
Installation
Wavelet can be downloaded here from Google Play.
Features displayed vary on the mode you're using and what output device is connected.
I strongly recommend checking out the README and read up on legacy mode to help you get the best experience

First impressions - awesome work! Nice UI and my headphones were recognized. I could only get legacy mode working but the graphical EQ is nice to have if the headphone correction isn't quite tuned for your ears. I think this is going to be a popular audio mod/app...looking forward to further development. :good:
Can you explain how this app is able to apply EQ effects without having root access or being a system app? What kind of APIs are you using? Thanks!
edit: actually, would love if we could chat more about this project. Giving this a shot right now with my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones and it seems pretty nice. Feel free to email me at [email protected]

Thank you! I put a lot of thought in the design.
Legacy/regular mode is the best solution I could come up with to cope with the finicky audio sessions design Android has implemented. If it works or not depends on the music player you use and if your device manufacturer allows processing the global audio session or not. Sometimes both modes work and in the worst case nothing might work

The app makes use of standard libraries Android provides. Most of them are available since Android 2.3, but the DynamicsProcessing library is relatively new and allows for much more customizability. It allowed me to build the equalization and gain control features.
Default mode listens for audio sessions started by music players and applies these effects to them. Legacy mode applies them system-wide (session 0), but this may not work on all devices.

Interesting, I haven't seen that in the app myself.
Bought the app for developer support, awesome job! I was waiting to see when someone would pick up the audio development.
One less reason for root.
The only thing is clipping when adding bast boost. Bass tuning helps but volume clipping still happens.
Still awesome though.
I can confirm. my device also requires unlocking to even test the effects. I have a Galaxy A20 stock phone and quite frankly, it lacks severely with the sound quality on my headphones (Sony MDR-XB50AP/R). I have been looking for an alternative to Viper4Android which has really shown the power of the earbuds, but that requires rooting the phone and a supported ROM. I can understand the monetization of an app to help support the development and do not have an issue with that, but I gave this app a hard pass for two reasons:
1) You can't try the effects mode without paying the fee.
2) The fee for me was $5.49 to take a chance on it, yes I can get a refund on an IAP through Google, but that's not what I'd really like to do.
Why not set the app up to allow people to try the effects for say 20-30 minutes to allow them to see if it works for their needs and then charge the fee if they want to continue using it ?

Thank you for the app. I've tried work fine with Spotify but not with PowerAmp (i've tried legacy mode with PowerAmp but not working) but as it a first version I hope this can solved in the future update.
So I guess I'll stick with Viper4Android from your release for now.

There is a build in closed testing with a new function that reduces clipping at cost of increased latency. If I'm satisfied I'll release it publicly.

PowerAmp might work if you disable direct volume control in PA and enable legacy mode in Wavelet. The result differs depending on your phone. Else you may be able to get it to work using https://zackptg5.com/android.php#acp (requires root).
Current implementation is the best I can come up with. Android audio sessions are mess..
Works pretty well with my S9+ (Exynos) and Sony 1000XM3, I tried Spotify and Spotify Stations, for Stations the app doesn't realize that music is playing, can you do something for this or is it up to Spotify?
Working fine in legacy mode on my Pocophone, MIUI 11. I bought the pro version but i couldn't see the limiter option.
Could someone share some phone models for me to search in the autoeq list?
Very, very nice. Have it on my Pixel 3a and bought the pro key. Using my Sennheiser HD 120 and sounds fantastic. I like the Legacy mode as I use Google Podcasts most of the time and Wavelet doesn't detect it as a session but I believe this is correct. Could it detect GP so I could use the non Legacy features? Anyway, well done on a great app and slick UI.
I needed to use legacy mode with Poweramp on my Samsung note 10 plus. I have yet to test this on my pixel 4 XL but I think it'll be the same thing I'll need to enable legacy mode in order to run this app through Poweramp. Sadly I'm missing the limiter option and all the audio effect features like bass boost virtualizer and stuff like that I'd have to pay for I thought the application is free. Is there some kind of code being passed around? If not let me know
Also, are there plans to update the application in order to fix some of the notable errors or issues that have been mentioned, particularly with audio static? Beyond that this is an exciting application and I'm excited to see where it goes. I've been looking for a viper4android alternative that didn't need root and this seems to be the gym that potentially can match that app. Keep up the good work!

How does Wavelet sound compared to Viper?
No AutoEQ for me
