Been running the GB leaks and have been very happy with them (especially GummyCharged GBE 1.0). My one issue is that the stock (2.2.x and leaked 2.3.x) ROMs all seem to suffer from low volume, most specifically, the max in-call volume.
This was fixed when running a voodoo compatible kernel with Voodoo Control. The problem now; however, is the source, and therefor kernel mods, haven't come out yet for any of the GB leaks. So, no more Voodoo sound improvements and DSP (built into Gummy) doesn't seem to do it.
Anyone have any other in-call sound boosting suggestions for Charge Gingerbread?
Try DSP Manager
The pay version of Voodoo Control is supposed to give you the same sound enhancements without the need for a Voodoo kernel, it only requires root access. If you try it, post back and let us know how it works.
Voodoo Control (paid) does support the leaked Charge 2.3.4 kerel yet, so it won't load the module.
DSP Manager helps, but I've not been able to boost the volumes to the same degree as Voodoo did.
That is why I am looking for alternatives.

When the voodoo lag fix is enabled the ear piece on my galaxy s will not work therefore i can not hear dialing or anyone talking on the other end unless it is on speaker phone. I then disable lagfix and the ear piece then works perfectly, is it possible to run a different lagfix for example OCLF over the voodoo kernel or is there a different solution keeping the voodoo lag fix?
I want to switch to MIUI for a change but....can anyone tell me before I go through all the work:
1) Does MIUI have a universal EQ like CM7? So the EQ would effect would effect headphone jack no matter what music app is used?
2) Are there any kernels that with Vo0doo sound patched that work without any problems on MIUI?
i came here to find the solution but to no avail
simple question: Is it OK to have the DSP manager along with the vodoo app or will there be any conflicts then? I am asking because both apps seem to post process the audio but I really would like to adjust the sound via the dsp manager's equalizer since vodoo has none.
I am on CM9 alpha, and it comes with DSP Manager. I also have Voodoo installed, and so far I've been using just the DSP Manager app, and it doesn't seem to be interfering. Working ok
DSP Manager does equalizing and Voodoo control messes with your phone's amplifier. So it goes like this:
Voodoo changes hardware settings, DSP stays inside android. There should be no problems.
thank you for your replies, I just was confused by the fact that both apps let you enable bass boosters
I installed Tweak 2.0 coming from stock and had serious issues with audio. I re-flashed wiping data and the problems still persisted. I am getting audio skips when listening to music and I also had bad high pitched screeching noises. The audio was just plain "flat".
I flashed back to Eclipse with AOSP apps and the music was back to crystal clear with no skipping at all and the music was back to the "full" sound I was used to. I listen to a lot of Pandora in the car as I travel frequently. I also have the voodoo sound plus app to correct the low audio gain common with Samsung phones.
I get better battery life on Tweak and would like to stay on Tweak but can not live with the audio issues I was having. Does the audio get processed by the ROM or Kernal? I am using stock kernal for both.
I can not figure out what the problem is with Tweak Rom.
You don't have dsp manager ruining as well do you. I had to uninstall it when I can from eclipse to tweaked because audio issues.

When I went to Tweak, it was a fresh install. DSP manager is included with Elclipse ROM, not Tweak. It was not even on my phone at the time.
Running Elclipse, I leave DSP manager off (all settings disabled).
Haven't heard of this one before - have you tried just using the same apks as are used in Eclipse? Audio has never been an issue, though I haven't used much beyond the play music and pandora apps myself.
Another thought - have you tried it with and without voodoo sound plus app being installed?
Hey Dwith,
No, I have not tried just the Eclipse Apps, I would not know where to start. In regards to the voodoo sound app, I can not listen to audio with my phone without it. It does not put out the correct audio output or dynamic range. The sound level is just too low without voodoo.
One would probably not notice if they are connecting the phone to a boombox or something small but when you connect it to an aplified home theater system or an aftermarket car audio system the difference between voodoo and non voodoo with the droid charge is like night and day.
I am pretty new to flashing ROM's and such so I am sorry if I can't troubleshoot this more. I was hoping maybe I was not the only one with this problem and others would chime in.
I really like Tweak but I can live with Eclipse too. They are both great ROMS.
i am trying to add voodoo sound since the volume is too low through bluetooth. is there a kernel i can add that just adds the voodoo sound. i have the voodoo fix but, i don't see anywhere to mess with the voodoo sound. not even sure if they two are related,
i have already flashed a kernel and rom and a speed boost for the valhalla rom. i like the set up as it is i don't want to overwrite or lose anything flashing another kernel. i just want to add voodoo sound. i guess i could just flash another kernel that includes the voodoo sound right over the existing kernel if i had to?
try this

No - you need to download the app from the playstore to enable voodoo sound. With the kernel posted above you can use the free version.
Voodoo lagfix and voodoo sound are not the same thing.
Voodoo sound controls audio jack.
Regarding BT device you might try
DSPManager -

thx. i got voodoo sound working for me now. however it does nothing for bluetooth. i thought it would. i tried dspmanager (came with the rom) but whenever i use it it crashes. now it crashes all the time. i guess it might have a conflict with a program volume+ that i am trying but, that doesn't really help the volume issue either. i'll keep looking. i used the same headset on another phone and the volume was much louder. i couldn't even turn it all the way up. with this phone i can't get it high enough.
i got rid of the old possibly messed up version of dspmanager with titanium. then i installed the newer version and it still force closed at start up. then i uninstalled volume+ just to test and then i ran dsp and it worked but, i see nowhere that i can actually boost the sound it makes no change.
