Hey everyone,
If you know anything about Voodoo sound, then you know that it is amazing on the Galaxy S phones.
Well our man Supercurio Made this amazing app that does not rely on a modified Kernel.
It does cost $2. But is well worth supporting his hard work for.
Here ///https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.controlappdonate&feature=search_result
Ok ordered it and hopefully I am able to make it sound great like I had it on my NS b4!!
Just picked it up myself as well.
Wow that's amazing. Well worth the $2.
Whatta difference i will say!! it is definitely worth the couple of bucks

Question
Being the Noob android user that I am, I have a question. I'm a bit confused if I need anything special on my phone to use this app. My phone is rooted which I believe was one pre-requisite. I would love to help the developer by purchasing this, but want to make sure I'm able to actually use it Being I know nothing yet about sound that came with my device I figured I would ask here first.

All you need is rooted device. If you plug in your headphones and listen to it normally.
Then get this app and enable it. Listen again with it enabled. The sound is way better and can get much louder. Really be careful not to go to loud or you will hurt your ears. ;-)

Thanks for the response. Great app, love it! Definitely sounds better.

Does this help with in call volume?
One of the other things to remember. It really helps with recording videos in loud environments.
I have tried to record at concerts and my videos have turned out horribly due to the sound. I tested it out today with the Recording setting on in my car with music blaring and it was amazing how well the audio sounded compared to without this setting on.
#1. I use an FM transmitter from my phone jack to radio, so it improves the sound tremendously.
#2. I record at concerts and this will greatly improve the audio for those videos, it's like night and day.

I stream Pandora from my phone to my car stereo, will it improve the sound that much more?

It's probably hard to tell the difference here. This is only for recording volumes. I did this test as a way to see the difference. I video alot of concerts and the past videos have sucked for audio.
With Voodoo Control Plus (High Quality audio feature checked)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sdLjx9L9W8
Without Voodoo Control Plus
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxKdHhnJgnw
In regards to does it improve the sounds? Yes it does. I use the pandora and the amazon cloud player on my device via an FM transmitter to my car's stereo. Not only can you boost the volume, but it improves the quality of the sound too.
It's definitely worth the 2 bucks in my opinion, if not for the improvements of sound level and quality, then for the ability to record videos in loud environments without it being garbled.

They will remain the same and each time you reboot if you have it set up to load up after reboot and it will keep the same settings
Just a heads up.
The special price of $2 is going to change Monday. Get it before then and save some Cheddar. ;-)

Pretty noticable difference, worth the whole whopping 200cents
Hi,
Just converted to android from iphone.
When listening to music via earphones, im noticing the volume isnt that loud even when ive turned it up to the max (15).
Ive seen other posts explaining how to get into service mode and amend some volume settings, but this only applies to in call volume. Im looking to increase the volume when listening to music.
The current volume is def too low.
Bump.. Need help!
Using sennheiser cx180, getting amazing sound quality
any fix for this yet? really annoying!
bump
that makes two of us now. please someone nut this out
Bump. Same problem
Same problem here.
And another one here with same problem.
When I increase "Media volume" it only increases volume until it gets to about 50% on the bar, after that nothing happens when I continue to raise it to a full bar.
Bump same problem here, up full its about 3/4 the volume of my iPhone, its fine in quiet environments but and ambient noise at all and you hear it over this. Its just one of the many frustrations of this phone when it comes to music. Seriously thinking about eBaying it,
Cyanogen and MIUI teams are looking into porting their ROMs to the Galaxy S 2. That should fix everything
Hey guys is there a fix for this yet?? I am running lite'ning Rom and even before this the volume from music through the headset is so so low!!! In ambiant places like the bus or walking through the city u can forget talking to anyone or listening to music!!!
Is there anything that can boost it??? On my old iphone when i jailbreaked it i got an app that mad it very loud that i could not put it On full lol... Pls guys if anything please reply!!!! :-(
Anyone with any solotion to this please??? its the only real fault with the phone

Had the same problem...
Hey, I had the same problem with my unlocked Galaxy S II, The volume would not go up even at 15, same level of sound on all numbers. All I did was reboot it and now it works fine. you should try it too
seriously this is the phone that is apparently the 'best of 2011', yet it has such a huge glaring bug like this? To shock new buyers who were told this phone was great?
This is a dealbreaker. Volume on a phone matters. Why hasn't a solution been offered, or rather why is this such a concealed ill-discussed problem?
I don't think it's quite a bug or Samsung's fault. I've been using original Ipod earbuds from the Apple Store and they work like a charm. But when I try to use some sony headset, the sound is all noisy and it's quality sucks. I think that there may be a problem like drivers or something on how the signial is sent to the terminal.

Same problem here, what is going on here??
I shouldn't have to root and mod my phone to be able to hear a call on the street or to listen to music. Which isn't a solution anyway.
WTF??
had anybody contacted samsung support?
Still nobody knows what is wrong?
My other media players, computers, hifis all play at ok volumes, so the problem is with the phone..
Any input appreciated

Only after its fully confirmed by a wizard that the application will work on your device, you're allowed to purchase it.

Think right now that is about all that you will get w/o hardware hacks or something directly from Samsung.
I use Voodoo Control App on my GS1 with a Voodoo kernel and it works like a charm.
Voodoo + PowerAmp + Bose in-ears = Pure Sonic Enjoyment.
There are from what i know a few fixes for this (i think)
If you are running Cyanogenmod7.1 you have the DSP Equalizer that helps to boost the volume of your device.
Ive heard of a App on the market Called Volume plus (never used it but from searching on the internet ive heard of this)
And then if you are using Power Amp you can have full control of adjusting volume through the settings in the music player
So ever since I got this phone, I've been dissatisfied with the audio quality. No matter what I did, no matter which equalizer I tried, the sound was too low, too muffled, and just plain BAD. I bought a new bluetooth car stereo this week & I haven't even been able to enjoy it that much cause the streaming audio sounds like ear-rape. Tonight I was messing around with Bloat Freezer and I noticed a system app on the list called "Music enhancer". I wondered if this had anything to do with the craptastic audio quality, so I decided to freeze it & see what happened. To my joy, my music now sounds FAR better! It's like night & day, no more crackling, no more muffled audio
I dunno if anyone else is having problems with audio of if this little trick has already been discovered, but I figured I'd share with the class either way. Don't forget to hit that thanks button if I've helped you out
EDIT: You must be temp-rooted to do this.

Thanks for the heads up.
I ran Droid System Suite and in tasks I found it and turned it off.
I'm not temp rooted,BTW [not that I know of].
I'll let you know what I find.
Dayam!!
That works!
The top of my screen shows a music note with a stroke or bar through it.
I guess that means I've disabled it.
@the radius kid, no that just means you have your phone on silent lol
Okay I temp rooted and froze music
enhancer through titanium backup. I tried playing a song before and after and didn't notice any difference. when you tried it, was it with a music file or like ringtones and stuff. It seems like you may be on to something there.

Unfortunately, this way won't keep it turned off for long, it'll eventually restart. The only way to really "kill" apps until we get real root is to temp root & freeze them.

I'm playing music. I haven't noticed much difference with ringtones. I really dunno if this tweak will work for everyone, YMMV, but hopefully now that we have some clues we can delve a bit deeper into this issue. One thing that you might try though, is disabling it via ADB. I've noticed that some frozen apps don't get totally frozen unless you do it with ADB.
Froze it using Titanium Backup. Testing now.
OP - in the HTC Music app, Settings > Sound Enhancer, did you have that set to "None"?
I do and the sound on my phone is quite good, without your procedure.
I actually find that the Music Enhancer HELPS my audio quality. Without it, its like listening to music with the headphones sitting on a table in front of me rather than on my ears...
I guess I am just lucky? I have none of the problems that others have been reporting...All except for one big one...DUST UNDER THE SCREEN! (Im on the 2nd phone too!)

This Android stuff takes some getting used to.
The only thing I'm finding is that I have to kill the app' again when I restart the phone,otherwise it does seem to make a difference.
Always get a clicking sound when audio starts regardless of the source with and without this fix.
Just like my Nexus 1, this phone has crap audio quality over headphones and on the speaker. not to mention the mic. HTC seems to always cheap out on these components, my Nexus S was FAAAR superior in this regard. Although I sold it for the bigger screen, and more powerful processor.
Wish there was a way to restore a backup of DSP Manager. I've tried with TB, but the restore option is not available.

Hi.
Please forgive my grammar mistakes; English isn't my first language.
Why no reviewer talks about it? Why are reviews so superficial? I'm quite irritated. I've been using the Honor 8 since 1st Dec. 2016 and so far I've noticed that:
1. There's no system-level audio equalizer: this means that you have to live with the flat audio that comes out of the sound card, which is not pleasant if you really enjoy listening to music. Of course you can use a cool audio player such as Poweramp, but what about sounds coming from other apps? What about YouTube, for example?
2. You can't adjust the L-R audio balance: WTF? Again, you can use Poweramp, but what about any other sound?
3. The included earphones sound bad, like really bad. OK, if you are an audiophile you use something else, but... WTF?
4. MIDI audio output: I played a MIDI file using com.lonelycatgames.Xplore and after about a minute the phone rebooted. I used to enjoy using those piano-simulator-apps(?), such as com.rubycell.pianisthd, but the audio output is full of clicks and pops (can't explain it better, sorry). EDIT (02/03/2017): no more clicks and pops after upgrading from Android 6.0 (FRD-L09C432B120) to 7.0 (FRD-L09C432B360).
5. (a bit off topic): When using MX Player (to play video files, not audio) the HW/HW+ decoder fails to play some videos the right way (I mean, they're like slowed down).
edit (08/04/17):
6. Good luck using with satisfaction apps like "Samsung Health" or "Huawei Health". Their processes get terminated randomly when the phone is not in use (display is off). No, telling the phone to never close those processes doesn't work. AND NO, telling the apps to "ignore battery optimizations" doesn't work either. F--K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wouldn't buy it again. This phone is clearly not made for audio(/video)-obsessed people.
Guys, what are your thoughts about the A/V experience this smartphone offers?

2. You can actually adjust the L-R balance : Settings- advanced settings-accessibility-sound balance.
3. There were no earphones with my phone (L04).
My impressions are audio is not bad, I had HTC M8 before and it was definitely better, but the Honor does the job and i'm pretty satisfied.
When campared to my note 4 , the note 4 wins by a land slide.. I was disappointed when i first heard music on my honor 8.
Easiest fix: Just flash v4a
Unless you really don't want to unlock your device then i don't know but v4a gets the job more then done

I do agree that the lack of equalizer is very unpleasant. I miss my good old phones with Cyanogen and my equalizers.
I had Honor 7 and LG G3 before the 8 and I managed to install Viper4Android which is the best equalizer of all times but since I didn't unlock the Honor 8 yet...
This phone CAN be GREAT for people like us, but we have to flash a few things for that

I'm afraid it's never gonna be great for me. I'll never trust any review anymore.
My opinion:
For music the best is Alcatel 4, stereo speakers, jbl headphones, built in app equalizer, dj mode..
But its music phone.
Honor 8 is good for daily using whatever you want.
Great camera, display and even one speaker of sound is nice though should be louder. Honor have HiSilicon Hi6402 audio chipset. DTS sound effect in music player.
Ok, it have no equalizer (it piss me off because in play store you can find only trash), but we can install Viper if we rooted our phone.
If no root mode we can use poweramp as you said, maybe no works with youtube but who listen to music on youtube if audio there have not good quality.

Uhm... this is complicated. It's not a simple concept like "youtube music video suck". YouTube has any kind of video and I'd like to listen to the audio the best way possibile. And what about Spotify, as someone else already wrote?
No, f**k, it's not possible to pay 330€ to get such a low quality audio. I don't accept it. And we're still only talking about the lack of eq. What about the crappy HW video decoder? What about the bad midi output? I can't believe it.

I think installing v4a honestly shouldn't be hard whatsoever if you need help you can just search forums
I agree. The sound, even with dts, is mediocre. I have never had a good pair of buds or headphones come by default. I always buy 3rd party.
The only major con is the ios skin. The video is npt grreat but not bad. So 1 major flaw and 2 small issues. GREAT PHONE.

If someone want to have one device to everything is ok.
So i should buy camera, mp3 player etc?
The same with people which buys phone for taking pictures, why not? Now smartphones haves very good audio chipsets and firmware addons which makes phone better than many other players. Problem with honor is that his firmware is not made for music lovers but as you said Viper can change it.
Ps i find no root, not bad app, good for headphones

Had tried it; doesn't sound any good to me.
Hello! I never had a problem with my Google Pixel until now.
I downloaded and installed the official Android 8.0 update for my Pixel. As soon as it booted, I did what I normally do and I opened up my audiobooks player to play my 4 hour long MP3 that I listen to. I noticed immediately that the audio was stuttering and crackling, like the way a very old PC would do when you had too many things running while you tried to listen to music.
It is not a bluetooth issue because it happens with wired headphones and even with the internal speaker. It does it whether or not my phone is rooted (does not make a difference). I do not have a lot of apps installed. Again, this did not happen at all on Android N.
The issue is not just with my audio book player app. While it does not happen in Youtube, it also happens if I try to play a video in a web browser. The same horrible audio lagging/stuttering.
I did not see anyone complain about this, so I am at a loss for what it could possibly be. Anyone with any pointers I would greatly appreciate them! It is driving me crazy!
It happens to me too, I have to clear all apps from the background and reboot. Then the audio go back to normal.

It goes back to normal for me after a reboot but it comes right back after not too much time. Why did Google officially release Oreo with this kind of issue?

I had it on nougat also, but it happens a lot more frequently on Oreo.
Has anyone found a fix?
It is some sort of weird RAM issue. I downloaded a RAM cleaner, and even though I have lots of free RAM, cleaning the RAM fixes it (until it eventually comes back). What is going on?

I heard it's hardware. No one else is having these issues. Do an RMA and be done with it.

Where did you hear this? And if it's a hardware issue why isn't it there in Android Nougat?
How did you "hear it's a hardware issue" but never heard of anyone else having this problem? Don't those statements contradict each other?

I just got the issue after updating, never had it before. It doesn't happen often and a reboot fixes it every time. Which leads me to believe it's software.

Yeah, you're probably right. I'm beginning to think that perhaps an app that's installed is conflicting with either ram usage or the audio drivers. Unfortunately, in order to find out what it is, a clean system would be needed at this point. No apps installed, test out the audio. If it works then you're in for a long day adding each app one at a time. If it still doesn't work I'd try another set of headphones, although that seems ludicrous. Lastly, since you're rooted you can go back to N if it's that important to you and report the heck out of it to Google. Good luck guys.
Not that it matters to you that much, but I listen to the headphones every day, Spotify, Pandora, Sports Gold and not a single issue on any of them. Bluetooth is another story, but wired static is rare. Search Google issues see if you come up with anything.

I have no issues with streaming services which is probably why you don't have the issue. It only happens to me in audio playing from a web browser or local audio files.

I don't have an issue with any streaming apps, only with local audio files or audio from web browsers.
edit: sorry for the double post
