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"

Its super easy to root it..just fastboot OEM unlock then push the superuser zip and push cwm ..took me 10 min

And with voodoo control it has amazing effect on the headphones

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.

Headphone sound sucks and low

Well it just does....anyone else with this issue..? Infused 2.1

Not sure what might be different on your rom.
CM7, Nightly. Captivate

The output through my headphone Jack OS crap. Very low volume.

Voodo control kernels

Im kinda at a loss here ....ive tried several gb kernels and i cant seem to find one that is compatable for the voodoo control app.
Can someone point me to a good kernel for this please
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

Voodoo plus works great for me. Has on any kernel. What are you trying to do?

He probably does not have voodoo plus. I don't think we have a kernel with voodoo sound.
Voodoo plus is it for now.

Thats it i was trying to use the sound controls.
I loved that option when i had my vibrant
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

He probably doesn't. If he did I bet we wouldn't see this post here. So shortbus it's worth the cash. Get voodoo control plus. Problem solved.

Ok so with the paid vrs comes the extended sound controls for this device?

Raver puts his own sound tweaks in his ROMs if you are on Cyanogenmod Hybrid or Octaine.
Yes the paid version works without a supported kernel. I believe it even says that in the app description.

yep. Come to think of it the regular may also come with it. If you have non free version is there a choice to load sound driver?

The free vrs has the option....if the paid vrs has it and it works even thought the free one doesnt....i dont have a problem purchasing it.
The voodoo control app is a must have....works awsome on the vibrant and now i want it on this phone lol

The regular voodoo needs the kernel. I think that is how he entices you to pay for it.
"If you don't want or cannot flash a kernel, my commercial app "Voodoo Control Plus" has the ability to load Voodoo Sound with only root." -- free voodoo app description
So you need the paid because we do not have a custom kernel to support it... yet.

Yeah the paid one works. Go ahead and get it. Pretty nice too.

Ok thank you....thats the answer i was looking for

If you don't mind going back to Froyo, The Bali 3.3 kernel has voodoo sound support.

I bought the paid vrs and the sound control didnt work for me on valhalla

Quick question

I came from the nexus s and we were able to adjust the screen colors via the voodoo control app with a kernal that supported it. Well I think they pulled that app off the market all I see is voodoo sound. Well I'm was curious if it can be done on the g2x

Hi Twisted03
You mean this one ?

I intend to check it after I make a nandroid backup.
Is it even legit ? not a proprietary of HTC & Dr.Dre ?

Downloading now. What about dsp? Will they conflict?

Trying it now with CM7 RC1R11 inject w/ TWRP odexed.
*EDIT* Yea.. this got bad real fast. It didn't work at all.

From what I read it hasn't been tested on our phones yet... Just seeing if anyone has tried it with success or failure

What build did you use? 317?
Edit : I confirm installing BN-317. (I'm on Hebrew Valhalla BML ROM).
DSP Manager becomes unlaunchable. Constantly crashes.
I feel like listening to Rock EQ.

I used all three, the 501, 317 and the 320(???) and none of them worked. Im running CM7 R11 with twrp

Installed and running it right now... Having a hard time hearing the difference between this and voodoo sounds which in my opinion is better
From the grave

Update : after listening to my playlist I neglected and reverted it. It is like having one static EQ.
I'm currently using voodoo sound, dsp msnager and stock music player which are 3 very customizable equalizers with endless mutual combinations.
Setting voodoo sound to +2db line out, bass boost on, +4db medium speakers 80% dynamic range
DSP Manager Acoustic EQ
And stock music player to sound clarity effect - I'm getting incredibly better results.
