Your phone (nexus s) is i9023, not i9230 .
The only reason you shouldn't buy the i9250 is because it does not have a wolfson sound chip therefore not compatible with voodoo sound.
If you're not as audiophilic as i am, you should buy it.

what this voodoo sound for?im curious..is it anything to do with multimedia player or maybe an enhancement of audio quality when we use the headset?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

It's a app + kernel mod that brings the wolfson chip to its full potential. It's not a music player, but it works on any music player app.
You must be have a custom kernel that supports it. There's a BIG difference in sound quality.

at the moment im using cm10.1 nightlies..can i get that kernel from this rom?are there any config i should set to max the sound chip?

CM10.1 stock kernel already has the voodoo sound mod.
All you gotta do now is download "voodoo sound" app from playstore. Configure to your own liking.

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

Look in his sig.
Yup voodoo control... so good.
Sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA App
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.

Audio Question

Does anyone know if voodoo and DSP Manager can both work together in harmony, or will one try to override the other. I am wondering this since dsp is installed to the system and voodoo is installed to data.

I would not enable both at the same time.

They Both work for me.
With dsp I only get fc's when a phone call is coming in..

Works perfectly on my phone. I actually have 3 processors working in harmony... poweramp, voodoo and dsp manager

They work okayish lol
I get amazing bass when I prep up both the settings, however DSP FCs when I connect/disconnect my earphones...weird
Nexus S

Low microphone level during calls

People say my voice is low and they can barely hear me..on cm7 never heard that before.
Running stock rooted 2.3.7 matrix 4.5 kernel.
I tried using a voice recorder app and it sounded fine.
Anything I can do?

Are you using voodoo sound? If so, do you have the oversampling enabled on the mic? If so, turn it off.
I have voodoo control but I do not see that option.

Uninstalled voodoo control app and back to normal.

This. Equalizer is the boss, works great.
I bought somekind of boost device on dealextreme. Works awesome. Its impossible to have maximum volume lol. Sorry for poor english.

In my opinion Volume+ boost is the best app for sound boost
Just try
SuperCurio's Voodoo LOUDER app made for GNote. Boost done at hardware level for cleanest sound possible. The best volume booster out there hands down.
Audioboost sgs2 best by note

+1 to Voodoo Louder. I use it with poweramp and teh synergistic effect it yields is just WOW.
It's like, if u have NOTE, u should have this Voodoo Louder.
spectrum analyzer effect?
Do we even have equalizer/spectrum analyzer effect app like EQu from elephantcandy app? I'm more interested in the spectrum effect.. would be cool if playing in the car.

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.
