How To Improve Music Quality?

I've noticed a very distinct difference in the music quality between my Nexus S and my iPad 2. When playing the same song in earphones, it sound much louder, clearer, and deeper on my iPad. It's almost like the Nexus doesn't go loud enough. How can I fix this?

Installing a kernel with Voodoo Sound (and the Voodoo Control app from the market) will improve sound quality and allow you to increase your sound output.

Or, just root and install voodoo control plus, that doesn't need a custom kernel...

Is there any way to root the Nexus without using ADB?

Yes, you dont need adb to root... where you read "push adb..." in the root guide, replace by "plug usb cable, mount as usb storage and copy the file"

Netarchy's 1.3.7 kernel has the updated v10 voodoo sound driver, there is a definite improvement over the stock sound when using voodoo control

the best and quick way is to have a better earphone.
however, looking forward for your testing for voodoo.

Vooodooo sound

I don't really know if I have things set up right or not but I cannot tell any diffference between different settings in voodoo sound. I am using infused 2.1 by gtg and bedwas kernel.
Anyone help?

I did. I configured it different ways, listening to music after each change and didn't notice any difference in volume.
Now this was through the speaker and not headphones.
Does it only work for headphones.

Yes sir and speakers you use from headphone output
.......infuse.....Infused....infusion.........

Headphones only. Some devices seem to have a "speaker tuning" feature that affects the speaker, but ours doesn't.

OK. I see now.
Thanks guys

Headset volume increase

Coming from the htc inspire I remember all the kernels had audio boost included. The right now the voodoo amp does a good job increasing music volume through my headphones, but I want to increase call volume through my headphones. Call volume seems to be very low. The currently running:
Infused 2.1.0
Infusion 1.1 kernel

Try listening to quieter music
Not really a helpful answer though, perhaps try another headset.

Hahaha... My work environment is about 95 dbs. I have a nice pair of klipsch earbuds and music is load and clear. But phone number all volume is too low.

Headphone's auto reduce volume?

Is there a way to disable the aux jack from lowering the volume to 70% automatically when something gets plugged in? It gets annoying. Thanks

Thanks, I think requires a custom kernel though, correct? I'm using the stock kernel I found an app called Hearing Saver that you can set to keep the volume maxed when plugging or unplugging the headphones, so I guess that will have to do. Thanks

If I remember right the free version requires a kernel supporting Voodoo, but the premium version can load a kernel module which only needs su permissions. Why wouldn't you run Tweaked 2.2?
