Volume+ Sound Boost for Gingerbread
Download: Here
Credits: MeltusI've tested it and it's increased the speaker volume drastically without reducing sound quality. It's great for streaming music, radio, live scanner feeds and stuff. It makes the loudspeaker LOUD. Works on my custom ROM (See it in my signature).
Thank you so much!!!!!

Thanks, I just thought it was the phone, had no idea it was the ROM I was running lol. This app works great, using it at one notch below Insane, and it sounds much better now
Thanks. Works great

awesome, thanks.
Yeah, I haven't tested it on Insane, and probably won't. It's plenty loud enough as is now lol
I tried it on insane it will work loud but if you keep it on insane you will blow your speakers

BETA Version (1.61 whatever)
Speaker Phone:
Speaker Modifications: ON
EQ Settings: GOOD QUALITY
Volume Level: FIVE OR SIX
Bass Enhance: OFF
i ran it on cm7 made NO difference at all ... not a tinny bit :S
Works on CM7 here, stock kernel.
Just a question for you guys: have you come across a volume/equalizer app that works on a speakerphone call? I've gotten Volume+ and DSP Manager to work on everything except for when the phone is in speakerphone mode. I was hoping to reduce the "tinnyness" of callers with a treble reduction and midrange boost.
Can something similar be done with the headphone jack? I use it often to connect to my car stereo and even at max volume it's not very loud.
Well it seems to have solved MY problem, which was low volume on the ringtones - I was missing calls, with the phone in my pocket - beyond that, I didn't fiddle around with the settings.
Thanks much!
-Mike
should we restart after applying settings? i rely find no difference at all . som1 can explain me why?

You must not have put the correct size of buds for your ears. The earphones are very good. The bass, I agree is not the best, but it is good.

Try the bass enhancement option in Music settings. Else you'll just have to buy better ones.

For someone who isn't all that into music, I have found the earphones to be pretty good. I would say they are on par with the Nokia Music Express earphones that I had before.

You can very well give a try installing trial version and decide which one is the best. Btw i'm not promoting here. Just a satisfied user after trying all other apps

One could also try N7player from Google Play/Market currently its free as its in beta and had a different interface from the regular players.
It has a Bass Boost option which can be boosted by quite a good amount.
Try out Music volume eq from market..You wil feel the real diff..Seriously i felt the same but after using this , i never thought of changing headphones.

BAD seriously ?????
i don't think So.... its Cool...
Works great with POWER AMP..!
one of the best earphone
if you want..... you can buy creative earphones....
in.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=437&subcategory=861&product=14744[/url]
this one, is the best earphone out of all earphones i have used...
@ OP
the bundled earphone is good enough in term of bass, do not let the sound leak by using appropriate size of eartip with thm and it could get you enough amount of bass...
btw which earphone were you using before this ??
PowerAMP iz teh bestz! :-D

Try them with voodoo sound ! Really good sound!
I agree, the headphones included are pretty much trash, compared with my CX870 they sound terrible. I know these are expensive, but any good headphones for about 20-40$ will sound better and probably last longer. I'm in love with sennheiser, the cx200 can be found for 20$ and they sound really good too for the price.
Yes !! the Effect is really good when used in Power AMP, but when compared to my Nokia N8 ear phones, its bad.
I also have a i9000 phone and its earphones look identical as the provided by the i9103. Except for the jack, which stripes are white instead of black. The i9000 ones sound way better that the i9103.
They are also incompatible, I mean, I can't swap them. Using Voodoo on both phones.
which one do you have a better experience with?
i'm currently running aokp's jb build4... any help would be appreciated.
also, links to working versions? i found the beats xda thread, but i cant find anything substantial on a jellybean version of dsp.
i've also heard that beats only works w/ certain apps while dsp is across the board?
thanks

DSP. Beats is quick an easy, but you can't fine tune like you can with DSPManager.
Just download any CM rom and extract DSPManager.
I'll skip the Beats gimmick and stick with direct audio output from VooDoo Sound thank you very much.

DSPManager is good to compensate for somewhat subpar speakers/headphones though. You know, like most portable headphones that people buy. =)
I think voodoo does the trick, that and I use the awesome equalizer in poweramp

DSP seems to be the standard in most custom ROMS. Voodoo gives color control but is for more advanced users. I find Beats to be more for the person who uses there phone as their iPod with fancy high dollar headphones.

Fortunately, if you use euroskank roms or slim roms they will have voodoo settings integrated into the DSPManager, as long as the kernel supported it as well.

Unfortunately, poweramp doesn't, and I assume other 3rd party players don't either. But that's not a big problem here in Canada, where Google music isn't really supported

I've got a pair of Westone 3's on the way, and I want to find a way to maximize the sound quality this phone can produce. There's several things wish discussing here:
1) Best audio player? I've heard Neutron and GoneMad are best for sound quality, but many prefer PowerAmp for the UI.
2) Are there any audio kernels for our device? I know Siyah and Voodoo and Faux had some legendary audio kernels tweaked for best performance - are there any for our phone?
3) Best EQ app? I've heard Viper4android and Noozoxide are great. Only tried the former - I need to test it more but so far I like it.
4) USB -> external device - > headphones? Any thoughts on that setup? Any experience with amp/DAC combo?
Audiophiles needed!

the U.S. variant does not have the Wolfson chip and instead uses Qualcomm’s own audio chip with the Snapdragon S4.

I'm pretty sure that all Qualcomm Snapdragon devices use Qualcomm's audio chip and it seems like the Samsung devices with Exynos processors get Wolfson audio chip.
On topic, I prefer using PowerAmp because it's a fairly great app and offers a lot of options (like EQ switches) for semi-audiophiles such as myself. I'm still using presets but may venture out and adjust EQs. I do have the PowerAmp ICS/JB skin installed to make it a little more streamlined.

I just wonder if an EQ is enough. If our DAC is of inferior quality, than an EQ can only do so much I'd think. Are you using high quality headphones?
I'm just curious - I don't want to limit the ability of my new set too much. I hope not to have to buy an external DAC but I've considered it to do an A/B comparison.

I'm still learning about how things work. Idk how drastic of a change we get but it can't hurt if you have a solid pair of headphones or earbuds. I'm rocking Klipsch S4A, not the best cuz they sound hollo or full of sound and I also have SkullCandy IEMs as well. I'm on a limited budget cuz I'm finishing grad school so money goes towards needs more than wants. Just curious, did you start this thread after checking out the one in the i9300 section? I like having this here so long as we can get good discussion in here. I stopped reading that thread once I realized we didn't have a Wolfson DAC in US variant S3 haha

Yea there's a lot of good music players out there. I've noticed a few more popup just in the time I've had my S3 over a year ago.
I've tried them all, with all types of sound mods.. NOTHING, I MEAN NOTHING compares to DFX Player Pro. Hands down the best sounding music player for android. It just doesn't have the best UI but def usable.
Another vote for poweramp. I've tried easily over 10 apps, and finally ended up getting the pro version. It couples great audio, usability, and customization.
When I was on TW, the best audio kernel I thought was faux. Had, by far, the least amount of popping whenever trying to undervolt. Also, his app has a lot of good tweaks.

I always thought the presence of audio popping depended on the type of processor you have (fast, nominal, or slow) which dictates how far you can UV. For some odd reason though, this doesn't apply to me on AOSP but it does on TW. For instance, I have a nominal cpu and can't UV below 1100 mv on TW regardless of kernel without hearing audio popping in music and ringtones. However, on AOSP, I use BMS which comes default UV and it works seamlessly with no audio popping.

I thought the same. The weird thing is, I have a fast processor and I would still get popping on most kernels (on TW) going under 925. Of course, it depended if I put my minimum cpu speed to under 384. Faux comes undervolted at 850 at 384 mhz and I never had any popping. I'm on 4.4 with BMS now, min cpu to 189 and no popping either.

Have you compared to Neutron? Most audiophiles (particularly in Head-fi.org) seem to swear that it has

Man, the lead up to this phone's release was interesting cuz I thought we'd be able to use Voodo Sound since people were saying it was all the rage on the OG Galaxy S. I was so letdown lol. I'd rather have a Qualcomm processor than a Exynos processor so that difference in DAC plays a lesser factor for me.
Edit: Not saying I dislike the audio quality in our S3 but hearing there's a better component makes me want the better component.
So you personally have no qualms about our DAC? Things sound the way they should through your headphones?
I'm anxious to hear if there's a big difference between the phone and my Denon receiver for my home theater. I'm gonna plug the headphones into both and see how big a difference it is.

Nah its fine to me but I have to reiterate that I've only used two IEMs, Klipsch S4 (not the S4A, I mistyped earlier) and SkullCandy. I also only have an S3 and my 4th gen iPod touch but I prefer the S3 with the same headphones. My opinion would likely change if I had other IEMs (need to use a wider variety than just 2), I'm not a fan of over the ear headphones too.
Oh okay. I've never owned real nice headphones. I'm getting the Westone 3s as a gift for Christmas. They're 3-driver headphones! They are about $350 for a long time, and since they're making a new model, they're slashing prices. Amazon has them for $179 right now, and these are headphones that were often said to be the best money can buy for under $500 (and can reproduce sounds as well as some high end over the ear cans!). If you've got the money, it's an amazing steal that won't be around long.
I understand the tight budget - I'm in grad school as well. Getting an MS in Mathematics. What are you studying?

That does look like a nice deal, definitely post back with your thoughts on them! I just want to know enough information to be able to adjust EQs if I dislike its current state in my music. Just want to recognize what XYZ does as I tune it. I'm not fond of purchasing $200+ buds cuz I don't fully feel I would listen to them enough to warrant the price but I probably do since I listen to music about 1-2 hours a day. I stopped reading that sound quality thread well before I purchased the Klipsch IEM as I started to care more about sound quality over the last six to eight months. They were my first IEM that I've ever purchased over $20 lol
I'm getting an MS in Sport Management. Good luck on your degree, it'll be worth the work!
Damn i thought we has the Wolfson DAC
qualcomm's DAC isn't all that bad though.
My iPhone 4 still sounds better though (stock)

Hi. Just got my nexus 5. Had gs3 and z1 before that. And i use bluetooth headsets alot.. And was very pleased with gs3 and boeffla kernel for sound! And on the z1 it already had superb quality on bluetooth.. Running pa rom with franco now.. And installed viper4android to try to adjust it.. But volume is still to low and kind of diffuse.. Any suggestions to what i can install or try? This phone is perfect in every way excepts audio quality!
