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!
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.

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.
Sent from my VZW GS3 running Synergy/Trinity/Dark Horse Rises
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%.

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:

Hi,
Firstly I'm an audiophile. I listen to my music a lot. Usually will listen to music in my car via connecting the aux cable to my phone. (I'm poor so no money for a usb media player ) Using poweramp, and aux cable connection/disconnection will play/pause, skip tracks using volume keys.
Previously was using S3 with a custom CM rom that works perfect. So felling in love with the stock android/AOSP/CM features and looks. I decided to get a OPO and sold off my S3. Sadly I'm a little bit disappointed.
There is a serious bug in OPO whereby when you connect the aux cable to the phone, it will continue playing the song like for a few seconds, and will either
1) in certain roms, will come out the annoying "say call, followed by a name or a number" thingy (voice dialing). And then music will stop, in the end need to manually resume the music.
2) in some roms, it will come out the ok google thingy
3) I tried disabling all the google stuff, even if everything is gone, it will STILL resume playing songs for a few seconds once connect the aux cable, and will just STOP without any interruptions.
Believe me. I've tried MANY MANY roms. From CM12.1s/OxygenOS/Exodus/Sultan CM12.1/Exodus/DU/SlimLP/AICP/Resurrection Remix/BlissPop blablabla with different kernels such as Boeffla/AK IT STILL ALL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM.
Please help. Thanks all.
EDIT 28TH OCTOBER 2015
I have LITERALLY tried ALL custom roms of OPO, all has this problem. But finally narrowed the issue down. It is due to raising the volume to the max, after the SAFE VOLUME warning. If its below the safe volume, it will run fine. Someone, for the love of god, help me. I love my OPO but it can't even do something so simple *facepalm*
There is a loose contact in your cable...Try a different one...
No problems here with my opo while listening to the music in my car via., aux cable....

Do you only use aux or also using headsets? I've used several cables to no avail.
Also,
which rom & kernel are you using?

Hi sir,
I'm a big fan of your rom. Unfortunately I've used your build days ago and reflashed it today the problem is still there.
If I just flash your rom without with/without gapps (I use TK stock gapps):
1) Headsets no problems as well (even if max volume, FYI I use original Samsung/Asus headsets)
2) Aux cable has the same problem like ALL roms. It has no problem auto-playing if its below the safe volume warning. If you raise it above the safe volume warning, it will auto-play for a second and stop without any reason. Let's say I put my aux volume to max, it will revert back to the headsets volume (which is very low) also after the songs are stopped. Then I would have to increase the volume back to maximum and manually resume the song. (FYI, I use Gator AUX cable in my car, http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUX-CABLE-M...hash=item4ace2c5a03:m:m66QamlvCxsYb6MBL-KYlLA )
EDIT 30 OCTOBER 2015
For AUX cable, it will stop after a few seconds no matter what, even if its below the safe volume warning. Have tested it out the whole day to confirm the trend/pattern!
3) Your rom doesn't have the annoying "OK Google & Voice Dialler" thingy popping out.
Really appreciate you taking a look at my problem. Hope that the problem can be fixed and I can fall in love with my bacon again :crying:
Can't believe I've flashed all roms....and all has the same problem. Thank you once again

Hi i also use aux cable in my BT audio car (just because BT have more hissing and crappy high tones) and have this problem as well but...
1) i dont like when music starts just when i put cable in...
2) in your situation i would try some tasker scripts which start playing music after some time since cable is plugged. Lets say 6 seconds .. I think it may solve your problem until allmighty codewizard @Sultanxda find solution for our crappy hw-sw problem..
I saw this topic was many times mentioned in his ROM thread.
Regards and good luck finding solution

Do you use tasker?? Even if it works, its still very inconvenient as I have to manually set the volume to maximum again (or else would be very soft in the car).
Sincerely hope that Lord SultanXda can solve this problem, would be eternally thankful! :crying: I've brought this up with several developers but none of them paid any atttention to this problem in our beloved Bacon. That's why I'm so happy that even SultanXda even replied in this thread.
added new information above
If your issue is still not fixed then its most likely the aux cables
Yes this issue is rare it happens with me too but only with certain cables
Its because of the depth and the size of the cable that causes higher output to confuse the kernel into thinking that the mic for Google now is activated
I've seen a workaround in some kernel somewhere but it won't completely solve your issue.
The only possibility (as of now) is to get a slimmer ,3 layered 3.5 mm aux cable

I've bought more than 5 aux cables, but all still has the same issue. I don't think its due to the cables. In Sultan XDA's rom & certain roms, the mic/ok google does not come out and was fixed by him. But just randomly stops and does not resume back.

try other players
hey there from a fellow audiophile (at least while driving) i am on sultan's rom 27th-oct build. Also on rocket player, i used to have a problem with the headset buttons (xiaomi pistons) prior to he 27th-oct build. but from that afterwards, everything is perfect.
about the aux cable thing, i've always had two music apps (playerpro since earlier builds of android. and rocket player) but recently (on opo) removed the playerpro (on a cm11s build, cause it was a battery hog compared to rocketplayer).
Anyway, rocket player has all the features you want (autoplay on connection, enabled through settings) and track seek through long pressing the volume rocker buttons, yet adjusting volume when short pressing rocker buttons (Vol +/-). and none of the issues you're facing, only a couple of times (on sultan's rom) in case the aux cable isn't connected right! (as in half in or so bu not all into the audio socket)
i tried to recreate/induce what you're experiencing with rocketplayer, and it happened once only, when flicking the aux cable and turning it around while remaining in the socket.
i can't try poweramp, since i'm not on wifi, and not that good coverage over here. so you might give rocket player, or other music apps a shot
i hope this pose isn't considered an advertisement or sth :silly: :silly:

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried the two players in Sultan Cm12.1 latest stable.
For PlayerPro, exactly same like Poweramp. Headsets no problem as usual. Aux will stop immediately after 1-2seconds, volume will revert back to headsets volume.
For Rocket Player, its a nice player , but:
In order for it to autoplay, the app must be turned on (if clear all recent apps it doesn'twork). And if you notice, even tho the auto play works, because if using aux it will stop after 1-2seconds, but the program will turn it on again (that's why there's static). ANd every reboot you gotta turn on the app again. And also, usually aux will have its own last set volume and headsets will also have its. But using Rocket Player, even tho it works, it will only remember the headsets volume. Like all that I mentioned in the first page. Even if I put max volume for aux , when connected after 1-2seconds it will go back to the headsets volume. There's an option to set the default volume level in Rocket Player, but which means only one default volume.
Really frustrated and disappointed with our phone. Even my 5 year old lenovo phone with 512mb of ram can do this thing properly.
I just tried my AUX cable along with my 3 headsets. One of the headsets is broken (loose cable contacts), and that's the only one that gives bad sound and pops up the voice search. Try another cable, or try the same cable on another stereo, I'm pretty sure it's those two. BTW I'm using jgcaap's CM12.1 with AK kernel.

I did try clearing it from both,recents and running apps/services but it still works flawlessly... Maybe the problem is on your end... And uf you've got time, backup through twrp, copy all your data (including twrp backup, music, photos etc.) to a computer. Flash stock rom THROUGH fastboot mode, either manually with commands through cmd. Exe or using bacon toolkit. Then flash sultan's rom, or your rom of choice. Which in my opinion is the cleanest flash anyone can get. Since it completely erases everything.. That's how i do it with anyrom, if planning to move to it. After trying it with a normal clean flash (wiping system, data, cache, dalvik). Just to be sure that there are no residuals what so ever
Other than that... Mmmh maybe you played with the permissions of rocketplayer? Or if you've got an app that does (any task killer, greenify, powernap etc. )

I've used the jgcaap's CM12.1 along with AK kernel, still has same problem. Like I mentioned before - headsets has no problems. Only when you use AUX via your PC speakers / car cd player. Are you sure you're using the correct cable/setup? THis problem is nothing new, just google the AUX problem with bacon and there's alot of cases will pop-out.

Hi thanks,
I've double tested. Turns out when you first boot up your device, you gotta give it some time like 1-2mins and the auto-play will come out. Like I said before, its a good music app don't get me wrong - but it still doesn't solve the ROOT of the problem.
I use headsets & aux, both have their own default volumes. As in I plugged in headsets, it will have the LAST set volume for headsets. And if I plugged in my AUX, it will have the LAST set volume for AUX. (I put MAX for AUX and minimal for headsets)
If you test it out with the AUX, it will still stop after 1-2seconds, and then the "AUTOPLAY ON CONNECT" feature will appear again and the autoplay will once again resume. If you don't use the default set volume on rocket player, it will keep reverting my AUX volume from max to the minimal volume for headsets.
Hope you understand. Thanks again.
