I recently got my SGS I9000 international version with Froyo 2.2 pre-installed. when I plugged in ear-phones which came with it, the music quality was Okay but it was lacking bass so I tried changing settings, equalizer, effects, 5.1 Ch everything but nothing enhanced Bass.
I use Power AMP on my other android phone(LG P500) and when I installed same on SGS and increased bass, sound distortion was very high and output was bad and it couldn't produce bass however with same settings sound is great on my LG P500.
I have tried many headsets ans even external amplifier but no good.
Please Help! How can I fix this!
Where did you find an equalizer?
Dont know if you want to go down this route or know how to do this...go and look in the dev section...flash voodoo kernel 5.1 sound fix will sort your problem out....such a massive difference.

Thanks Rixsta
I am wondering if its a hardware issue or software as I have googled a lot about it and didn't fine anyone else complaining for same issue so is it only with my device?
An it would be difficult for me to go for flashing or porting ROMs etc. as I don't want to loose warranty.
Can you or someone from XDA tell me that what is the exact issue with sound? or can someone please install Power AMP and check the sound increasing Bass?
Thanks in advanced!
Voodoo Sound.
just for reference
I did not make any MOD to my phone, and the stock BASS / SUB / BASE sound is very good, even when i stream over BLUETOOTH to my car
or in my BLUETOOTH stereo headphones
it sounds even richer when using the 3.5 mm plug
Finally I flashed kernel to Voodoo_stable_5.1 (voided warranty).
Installed Voodoo sound from market it has option "bass on headphones" under FM Radio
Under WM8994 it has Headphone amplifier which increased the sound volume only "not bsss"
So still the issue remains same......I m not getting punchy bass as I have in other comparatively mid level phones.....I bought it because GSM Arena mentioned that it has perfect sound quality.
Please tell me is it the issue with my SGS only or every SGS has same kind of sound.
Yes manit, I can confirm which the fm radio on not vodoo kernel have "no bass". My friend have samsung wave 8500(bada o.s.)and the bass are ok on his fm radio. Don't understand why, but is so.

Actually I m not concern about FM radio sound......my problem is when I listen music in music player or "Power AMP " the music lacks Bass
Still I didn't get solution.....
Problem resolved

Generally speaking, the earphones that come with phones are terrible and are not meant for music appreciation.. I'm not really surprised that you'd find terrible bass/distortion using them.

Quality seems fine to me... and quite durable!
Definitely better than stock ipod earplugs...
The quality of the bundled headphones could be worse...
With regards to sound quality flash a kernel that supports Voodoo Sound 4 and install the Voodoo app from the market place. From there if you plan on messing with the EQ in programs such as PowerAMP or Mixzing then turn the gain down (a long way down...) before you start mucking around with the bass. After that your music should be distortion free and very rumbley should you choose to make it so.

I am seriously considering upgrading to this phone. my only concern is the speaker volume. I listen to audio books while driving. right now I use a samsung i617 and the speaker volume is pretty good for this purpose. I have no experience with any android phones so my question: is there or will there be any way to pump up the volume for music/audio books on this phone?
most HTC phones have this problem with quiet speakers. load cyanogen ROM which si a custom ROM, and it has an audio boost which works beautifully on the nexus one. at some point cyan will incorporate this for the inspire, so if you were to use cyanogen rom then this problem would be fixed.
i had htc hero and used louder volume hack v3.6...iut really boosts the volume of the speaker+headset volume+in-call volume
The Android Revolution 4G 4.0 ROM runs Gingerbread and has a +20% speakerboost.
I use the Motorola t505 Bluetooth to fm ad2p and put it through my card audio system. What app are you using for audiobook I haven't found a good one yet. :/

Only time i notice the volume low is on movies i put on the phone, and compared to the craptivate music is a tad.low. however all streaming vids are real loud (even the same movies, if i stream from pc or web instead of putting the same one on the phone).
Figured id mention this, for me its easier to not even transfer my vids i just stream them with wmp, so its not so much of an issue.
Guess depends what your useage and setup would be.
Dolby mobile, SRS, or built in effects also help.
Love this phone, so glad i sent that craptivate.back.

I listen to audible audio books in the car almost every day I commute to work. There is no way you would be able to hear this phone with even a little road noise. I use one ear bud (also for hands free) and that works just fine.
Somebody else asked about audio book apps. I use audible's android app and it works great. The only problem is you have to have an audible account and actually buy the books. Their app is cool and they have $5 book sales all of the time that actually make it cheaper than using a credit to buy a book. Worth looking into if you are an audiobook fan.
Got a pair of bluetooth headphones to use while I am riding my bike. The audio quality is very poor, is there anything I can do to improve it? Drivers, fixes etc.

What set did you get? I use the Plantronics Backbeat 9xx (913 i think) and the quality is fine (and I'm pretty picky with audio quality). It also adds track skip, volume, mic right at the earpieces. Perfect for workouts.
Not yet (maybe not ever?). The problem is with the bluetooth drivers that Samsung uses. Apparently they have a low bitpool value hardcoded, which means bad sound quality for the end user. I was very much frustrated with the sound quality myself (coming from ipod touch which had crystal-clear lagless bluetooth audio) but there is nothing we can do ATM.
The only fix is a part of CyanogenMod, as far as I know. I think some devs are working on (or will be working on) bringing CM to Charge, but when or if it'll happen is yet to be seen.

Good to know. I had a feeling that it was a poor driver issue. I have the motorola sd90. just get muffled sound and really poor bass. I get pretty good sound out of them from my laptop so I guess it's more of the phone.

Hey everyone, well I'm a fairly new T-Mobile customer & Sensation owner and while I really love the phone I'm not the happiest about the speaker or headset volume level. I can turn the level all the way up when I have a headset plugged in and it's no where near loud enough for me when listening to music. Is this the norm for all you Sensation owners as well?
Now I've read about the crappy speaker that is used and I've followed the music player thread hear as well I've tested Volume+ and nothing seems to change the loudness level. All of the apps were just the free verions and I know that Volume+ lets you go to +8 in the paid version but I just wish something could boost the volume to a noticeable difference!
It's getting to the point where I may swap this out for the Amaze or possible Consider the GSII.
The stock handsfree headset is pure crap, mind you. Just get a pair of good headphones and a Beats ROM and you'll be all set
Anyone else is struggling with SUPER LOW headphones volume? Before OP6 I had HTC One M8 which was LITERALLY 3 times louder. I am using SoundMagic E10c(cable, jack) and I am wondering if similiar problem exists for BT headphones. Need some way to have music with decent volume, since I am listening to music basically all the time.
Any way to fix this?
That's true. I hope that there will be a Sound mod in the future

The same problem doesn't exists in case of BT headphones for sure... Its just bad with wired one's, really underwhelming! Waiting for some good audio mod to maybe help fix that issue if possible.

My earphone volume is fine. Using non standard music player/ equaliser and good bearphones
I don't know why people say it's quiet on headphones I've 3.5 jack. I use bullets V2 from OnePlus and the volume and quality are fine.

I haven't noticed a difference in the sound over my LG HBS850 (Bluetooth), and I haven't tried my 3.5mm cable headphones yet.
I have OP6. After reading the complaints here checked with different brands of earphones. The sound is really loud and clear. Even at medium levels I have sufficient loudness. Equalizer too works well. I checked the earphone audio in Player Pro music player, Saavan streaming music and YouTube. I am very much happy with what I hear in terms of loudness and fidelity. I don't think the mentioned complaint is true universally.

I experienced the volume loss as well. When using the phone in my car I have to adjust the radio by almost 10 ticks (from volume 18-20 to up to 30 now).
Yesterday in my car with the oneplus 3 no problems, but the 6 has some very low volume settings. It's kinda frustrating at this point, the volume sucks and the quality doesn't match up to what the oneplus 3 could produce. I think it has something to do with the equalizer that oneplus 6 now offers. This morning while trying to adjust the settings I've downloaded the snapdragon equalizer on top of the baked in equalizer and that seems to kinda do the trick (boosts the volume by a bit).
Oh boy, same here. Using a pair of M50x's, they don't need much power to get going but I've noticed it's not as loud as my 3. I have a fiio K1 amp but didn't work on the 3, figured it might! work on the 6 but nope! so I guess I'm stuck using a amp with the headphone jack.
Oneplus really needs to improve their audio output power, that's for sure.
So I just noticed something. Music is actually fine and loud ONLY when i am choosing ringtone. Spotify/Google Play/VLC etc. all is silent, even after installing Viper4Android it's still to silent.
I agree, the volume of the headphone jack is very low and the overall sound quality is bad. My HTC one A9 is brilliant when using audio files from the jack. It's loud and clean but the OP6 is too low and very bad sounding. Not for audiophiles. I tried with Viper and it's the same.
I felt low volume intially , but after 5.1.8 update I think the volume is good. (May be its just my feel ?)
I tried with ATH M50x and samsung stock earphone.
With the filo e7K the sound quality is good enough ...

I have cheapo ear buds with 16 ohm impedance, just like yours. Anything above 80% volume is uncomfortably loud. Perhaps your unit is defective?
chiming in, no issue here, brand new, white OP6... I'm smitten
for me volume too low even with viper4android
Massively loud with black player, amp and good bass earphones, even the speaker is much louder than my HTC 10
Give ElementalX kernel a try, I've flashed it and boosted my amp output. It helps! with viper4android I don't really need an external amp anymore. But.. it's still better

Same here until i have changed the headphones value (Rx1 and Rx2 mix digital volume) on the "mixer path tavil.xml" file located here : Root/vendor/etc
90 is perfect and you will see a huge difference ! Try and let me know. If you prefere i Can also send you my customised file ?
Don't what y'all talking about, the sound over the headphone jack is so loud to the point I set it only at 60-70%... And the quality is great too, Had a nexus 6p and LG G5 before this one.. but i tried a lot of phones
This one is really loud with great quality overall

Probably because you're leaving outside Europe and not aware of the EU Volume limitation...
