Problem with Faux Sound settings not being able to be changed - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am currently using Purity Rom and the latest Elemental X kernal .24 and for some reason when I plug in my headphones to the phone my Faux Sound settings change from right/left power amp +5 for both to only +1. I am using trickster mod to verify the settings. Now if I change them back to +5 after my headphone jack is in and I exit trickster and go back in they are all back to only +1. If my headphones are out I can change them to +5 and they will stay that way until I plug something into my headphone jack which then locks the poweramp settings to only +1. Anyone have any ideas what is causing this or if there is some file I can edit to force +5 for both when I plug in the headphone jack? I never has this issue with faux sound settings on the nexus 4.

audio profiles for android

Hey guys, i'm looking for an app (or even built in functionality) which switches audio profiles dependent on what is plugged in the phone. Case in point, I have my ringer at max volume usually (noisy surroundings) but sometimes when I plug in my headphones to listen to music I forget to switch the ringer and when someone calls I get deafened. Very very annoying (yes my own fault but still), I was wondering if there's a way for the phone to switch profiles based on the fact that headphones are plugged in. Thanks!
Headset Profiler

I was just having the same issue as you, and i installed this. Works perfect so far with FroYo on N1..
the problem here, I plug 3.5mm jack into two things... car stereo and my headphones. car stereo requires 100% volume where headphones need only 20% max.
I simply installed Quick Profiles and added few profiles, out of which these control the volume: "Sound - Vibrate", "Sound - Headphones", "Sound - Full".
Takes care of the problem, and is easy to use.

Voodoo+PowerAmp

Hey guys, just wondering how I can get the best results out of my Infuse with voodoo kernal and poweramp. I have the Voodoo control app installed but I am just wondering if I should leave those settings alone and leave the EQ and such to poweramp, or is it smart to tweak both?
Sent from my Samsung Infuse
Personally, I tweak both. When I use my Beats headphones, I have the voodoo headphone amp set between -20db to -10db and use the bass/treble boost in poweramp.
When in the car, the have voodoo headphone amp set at -15db, bass/treble boost in poweramp and use the car stereo volume and the master volume control.
I have been extremely pleased with my settings.

Interesting... Looks like I'm just going to have to start messing with around with it to see what works best. I'll probably have to read up on how to use the 10 band EQ also. I've heard if you can figure out how to work it then it really pays off.
PlayerPro is a great alternative as well. Especially if you download the DSP pack plug-in.
It's always going to be better to make the majority of your adjustments in Voodoo because it's hardware based. Poweramp takes a lot of processing power to run EQ. Also, as Voodoo Control notes, +3dB is the optimal line out volume, so you should set your volume to that and control it from the car from there.

Thank you SOO very much for this!! I have been using just the Voodoo Control App and it has been ok, but cant wait to start tweaking further! Thank you again!

Volume goes down on unplug

Whenever I unplug anything from the headphone jack the volume goes down once I plug something back in. I want to disable this but the only solution I found when I was searching was to use tasked. Is there another way of doing this?

Which volume goes down when you unplug from the headphone jack (i.e., Settings -> Sound) and how does plugging something back in affect the volume?

The sound for using any music player app. And if you have it at max when you unplug it and plug it back in it lowers the volume to like around 75%. Its very annoying

That's the music player app adjusting volume when it detects your headphones being plugged back in, I figure.
My system volume is at 100% without headphones plugged in, but when I plug them in it goes to 40%, which is where I want it for my headphones so that my ears don't melt and is what I set as volume level within the Neutron Music Player app. Unplugging brings the system volume back to 100% again.

I've tried two music player apps and they both do it. It has to be a system feature but I dont like it because I barely use headphones cause I always use auxiliary cables in my cars

You use AUX to the headphone jack in your car? If so, set the volume after connecting to the car jack and it should restore that setting each time, I'd think.
Likewise, try setting the volume after plugging in a headphone to the same level you desire for your car and that should hopefully be restored across the board.

I've tried that but the phone always defaults back to store and 75% when you go to plug something back in

It's a built in feature of any samsung I've owned. It's a "safety" feature. I haven't run an aosp rom on this device yet, but CM9 on previous devices did not change the volume at all on plug in/plug out. So assume it's a touchwiz thing.

What ROM are you running? I am pretty sure I've seen that setting somewhere on certain ROMs, mainly synergy I think? It is supposed to be to protect your ears so you don't plug in your headphones with volume at 100%.

Im running stock. But im rooted so I was hoping there was a way to get rid of it

Can't find it on synergy, but yeah I have come across it to. It is definitely on cm9. It is in the sound settings "safe headset volume" to be exact. Have not seen it on anything other than aosp.

Turning up the media volume very high with headphones plugged in creates a message that loud volumes can be damaging to hearing, etc. - so, this symptom does appear to be programmed into Touchwiz. It's probably a smart thing, as there have been times I've put on a portable music player with my headphones and forgot that it was most recently playing through my car's AUX input, so the volume was rather high (ouch).
That said, I just tried this free app and it faithfully restored the headphone volume to what I chose after repeated unplugging/plugging events:

Faux Sound settings not able to be changed with headphones in

Hi,

I am using trickster mod to verify the settings. Now if I change them back to +5 after my headphone jack is in and I exit trickster and go back in they are all back to only +1. If my headphones are out I can change them to +5 and they will stay that way until I plug something into my headphone jack which then locks the poweramp settings to only +1. Anyone have any ideas what is causing this or if there is some file I can edit to force +5 for both when I plug in the headphone jack? I never has this issue with faux sound settings on the nexus 4.

Did you ever get this sorted out? I am having the exact same issue on my G2 running carbon rom. Also using trickster. It is killing me.

1) Is the cable even plugged in right?
2) Try using another music player app. I prefer RocketPlayer
Click To Open RocketPlayer On Play Store
3) Increase the frequency of the music file
4) Downgrade back to KitKat as Lollipop is still experiencing some bugs
Hopefully I helped in some way
