Does this mean voodoo sound will be implemented in the cm7 kernel and we wont have to flash vork over cm7? Soz for noob q:)
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Yes indeed.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Yeah I think you're right, his commit clearly said it was your work.
[LG Optimus 2x] znejk:
Nice!
[LG Optimus 2x] :
Supercurio, feed this thread with features that we can look forward to from time to time. Helps keeping the momentum going.
[LG Optimus 2x] m0bster:
Not sure if this been reported before.

My "Headphone amplifier" setting is at max (-3dB). After listening to the music for a long time I felt that the volume level dropped. So I went to the control panel and tapped at "Headphone amplifier". At this very moment the volume level jumped back at high level.
[LG Optimus 2x] omiblack:
+ 1 here too
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Ah, that's definitely not expected, I'll try to reproduce that.

Please tell me how if you know :)
[LG Optimus 2x] vitaminxero:
If you set notifications to pause music to play notification sound, the sound comes back at max volume. =P
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Nice catch, I'll study that.
[LG Optimus 2x] m0bster:
I just use PoweAmp shuffling through rather large collection of songs of various formats for some time. The headphone amplification is at a highest level. Then go to the control panel while music is playing and tap the headphone amplification. The volume goes up.

Same thing happens when you listen to music, and takes a picture with the camera. As the music pauses, and the shutter sound plays, the music then resumes very loud.

I guess thats the same issue though...
[LG Optimus 2x] topgnat:
@OP

With all due respect for your efforts, I feel that my senses are not so well developed to perceive the very fine differences in quality, that's why I am kind of satisfied with current Stock Jun rom BUT....

FM volume through Headphone is horrible. I am also able to feel as if the stereo "widening" is less in FM, (Sorry I am not technical...), but quality is def poor.

Will I get improvement in Head Phone Vol. of FM

:confused: (Rooted stock froyo rom stock kernel,)

VolumeBoost app in Market increases mp3 and video vol but doesn't work on FM.

Thanks in advance.
[LG Optimus 2x] vitaminxero:
Haha yea. I think it's also related to the volume at max right when you plug in the headphone. It's an annoying bug but it's funny when I hear a notification and panic my ass to get my hands on the volume controls before the blast begins.
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Yes FM radio level should be harmonized with the other levels eventually, like I did on Samsung phones.
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Yes the issue comes from the oh-so-poor driver design LG did.

There's a userspace driver as nvrm_daemon, and today I hijack commands sent from this driver to replace by my own settings.

But, as it was not non-standard enough, there's some code here and there in the kernel itself that send other commands to the WM8994. And I cannot change / fix them.

Sorry to repeat endlessly such praises towards LG, but its a real mess they did.
[LG Optimus 2x] CaFFeiNe666:
i have a little idea, if you can access microphone (for video cam recording)...

would it be possible to create an equalization algorithm, wich auto equalize depending on noise? (i think it happens on iphone, and older nokias, wich had a particular good quality on recording)

i think, it would be done also in standard software optimization, without accessing drivers, or am i wrong?
[LG Optimus 2x] vitaminxero:
As a (hopefully-temporary) workaround, could you find a way to detect the volume change and set it back to the selected level? With notifications that pause music, there's probably enough time to do so without noticing it. It will probably take a little bit of CPU load but I doubt it happens enough for it to have a huge impact on battery.

Edit: Or if the kernel sends commands that reflect the "Media Volume", then perhaps have the "Media Volume" reflect that of the analog amplifier. It SOUNDS less complicated to do it this way =P Perhaps doing both would work best?
[LG Optimus 2x] jland22:
So now that CM7 supports this in their kernel, other than buying the app and launching it. Do we need to do anything (changes to settings) to benefit from this app? Using the G2x and just bought your app in market.

Will this conflict with DSP manager? I have no problem removing it...
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
hi, i didnt want to make a sepparate thread so i thought ill just post this here, now the issue is that wheever i try to use an eq setting that boosts the bass on ANY music player, the low frequency sounds get awfully distorted, but if i boost any other freq its all fine, tested on headphones and speakers. i fear that this might be a hardware issue :( . is anyone else having such problems ?

btw im on stock froyo, rooted
[LG Optimus 2x] smokeweedevery:
^ i dont have that issue, i use powerAMP and it works fine on both cm7 and stock
[LG Optimus 2x] sarni84:
hey supercurio i just wanted to say i appreciate your hard work, what u have done already with the sound on my g2x is just awesome, cant wait to see what is to come! again much thanx!!! everybody support this guy it is the best couple bucks i spent period!
[LG Optimus 2x] freddy_krueger:
oh , so interesting for me at this time

but as soon speaker version will be out , i'll buy it
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Most software EQ suffer from poor design and distort the sound when using positive gains (or compress the dynamic range in a very audible way)
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
No special conflict with DSP manager, but make sure you don't use positive gains in its EQ.

It will happily saturates output because it doesn't apply a corresponding negative pre-amp gain.
[LG Optimus 2x] markop90:
That's normal on the last commercial songs...the loudness of the songs is on the maximum available (in fact the peaks of the songs often reach the maximum, 0 dB) so when you apply a positive gain, the song will be more loud and for this reason the sound will distort.

So, if you want to apply an eq to hear more basses, instead of boosting the low freqs (for example, +2 dB), you have to cut the mid and high freqs (-2 dB). As side effect, the song will be less loud.

Sorry for my bad English.

[LG Optimus 2x] libehv:
does this driver give anything in quality wise or just acts as an amplifier?

I already use an iBasso T2 amplifier, but the sound quality is hardware limited and probably another driver won't change a bit?
[LG Optimus 2x] Netuser:
Supercurio do you an Eta for speakers ?

Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] biasquez:
before there was voodoo driver in cm7 nightly but recently i see a revert commit...so when voodoo driver will be pushed again into cm7 kernel? moreover, i would to ask if i need app "voodoo control plus" to use voodoo driver pushed for example in vorkkernel or cm7...thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] :
Application is needed to control voodoo anyways. Supercurio makes a living off voodoo drivers, do not kang it rather support development by buying it.
[LG Optimus 2x] znejk:
Pls implement voodoo in cm before tomorrow so I can have it on my trip!

:)
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
Trip? Damn drug users :-P
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Drop back to nightly 87 for the day? Or use it's boot.img?
[LG Optimus 2x] znejk:
Lol! Haha trip as in driving home through Europe from the warmth of southern France to the frost of Sweden :) Rusty: hmm mby a good idea.
[LG Optimus 2x] markop90:

[LG Optimus 2x] hobs0n:
Im running build #91, how will it work to install vorkKernel? Is it stable/safe? Whats the disadvantages/advantages?

And when will we get automatic voodoo sound in CM7?
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
thanks ,but what troubles me is that even my old w880 phone can boost any freq without distortion plus even the eq on the stock music player gets distorted if i play something really bass heavy like deadmau5 ,although knowing its lg software....i guess anything is possible ;D
[LG Optimus 2x] k00zk0:
This is normal behaviour for any equalizer. As a rule, you should not bring any EQ slider above 0db, only lower it. The math involved in generating sound where there is none is nowhere near as good sounding as cutting away at sound that exists. The reason a certain device might sound alright boosting already peaking frequencies is that there is either compression or soft clipping done somewhere, or the phone purposefully leaves headroom to allow gain on the EQ without distorting. Either way, lower only. Create your curve to sound good however you do, and then lower the entire thing so that the highest bar is at 0.

I am waiting and wondering when the hardware parametric EQ will be implemented for this phone, and the P999. The DSP Manager app is interesting but it doesn't allow a proper correction to be applied to your device as it has fixed bands!
[LG Optimus 2x] hobs0n:
Anyone know how to get voodoo sound to work with CM7 #91 and/or vorkKernel??
[LG Optimus 2x] smokeweedevery:
^do you have the voodoo control app from market?
[LG Optimus 2x] hobs0n:
If you're asking me, I have the voodoo market apply yes :)
[LG Optimus 2x] toastmeisterq:
I bought the app like a week ago and i have been struggling to getting it to work since, i've tried it with latest CM7 nightlies, some 2.2 roms and now running the latest MIUI rom, i used the latest vorkkernel which supports voodoo, on everyone of them.

The problem itself:

When i open the app, the headphone amp and volume limit works somewhat, im able to lower the sound with them but not any higher than stock.

If i enter the kerner module option the text is green and superuser, no need to load module and so on is there, so far so good i suppose.

The "load sound driver" is unchecked, if i turn it on it says "Voodoo sound driver loading issue".

If i then return to the previous screen, and i press the headphone amp, it says the kernel isn't supported, and after a reboot everything is like when i first started the app.

Things I've done:

Tested various rom's, with latest vorkkernel.

Full wipe, everything that can be wiped has been before every rom change.

Reinstalling the app from market, clearing data and so on.

What is there left to do?

Or is it just that the volume cant go any higher than stock? :P

Sorry for WOT :rolleyes:

[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Either u flash vorkkernel or look for cm7kernel-86.zip from my mediafire folder. That zip is last known cm7 kernel with voodoo patches. Flash that zip from cwm and it will override your cm7 build 91 kernel and u will have cm7 build 91 updates with voodoo.
[LG Optimus 2x] hobs0n:
I have vorkkernel installed but it doesn't work but its not really a biggy, i can w8 until cm7 and vorkkernel is stable enough and work with each other :) thanx for your suggestion tho!

Edit: read your message a bit more now so yeah ill try your patch later on! =)

I guess it's the cmkernel-86-signed.zip from the cm7kang folder?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Yeah, that's what I did. Flash cm7 build 86 kernel on top of latest nightly (while we wait for supercurio to submit his latest patches)
[LG Optimus 2x] hobs0n:
Okidoki ill do that later :) thanx again!
[LG Optimus 2x] lkhz:
Can I use this on F19 MCR ?
[LG Optimus 2x] kruppin:
No, not until Paul, or someone else for that matter, builds v10e sources with the voodoo modifications. Or, maybe it works, just not like it's meant to.

Btw, why isn't there more kerneldevs for this phone? :p And the few there are, are just interested in CM7. :/
[LG Optimus 2x] manciu:
I've same exact issue! I can't find any solution on the net! Somebody can help us? :(
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
i use it with the new v10e source kernel and it feels like it sounds better. not sure why, but today i noticed that the depth of the sounds was much better as before. does anyone know if lg made any improvements in their latest kernel to the sound processing in the kernel? maybe someone can try it and listen if they notice a difference as well?
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
voodoo on now with headphone amplification set to -20dB and it sounds amazing with a set of cx270 sennheisers.
[LG Optimus 2x] sibbor:
Interesting about 10E. Would be great if LG could do some improvements and Voodoo on top of it... I hope it's just not a placebo effect ;-)
[LG Optimus 2x] m0bster:
cold turkey help

@supercurio

Can you please, submit the changes to the P990 kernel, so we can use voodoo on CM7 nightlies again?

I stopped flashing nightlies since voodoo patches have been removed.

Feels a lot like cold turkey :eek: :eek:!

Thank you!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] Basil 123:

I bought the app, just waiting for the commits to be integrated in the nightlies. Until then I will just have to wait and do without......

[LG Optimus 2x] Basil 123:
Temasek mate,

I guess my priority is using the latest CM7 kernel, rather than sound.

I found that I needed to freeze the Voodoo Control Plus as my videos were way too quiet as the newer kernels don't support VC.

Good things are worth waiting for, and this is a great thing, so power to Supercurio, I know it will once again fab when the latest CM7 kernel supports his hard work.

Thanks

Baz
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
The new v10e bits added to CM7 (#93) makes your phone sound amazing, voodoo has made absolutely zero difference for me so far quality-wise, just more volume control. Otherwise use the v10e kernel posted in android dev and apply it to stock/mcr.
[LG Optimus 2x] hobs0n:
What is the new v10 bits?
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
kernel in v10e.
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
Which arcee just confirmed not true.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Same thoughts. That is why I did not ask any updates for voodoo. I rather wait patiently for supercurio to complete his voodoo for o2x.
[LG Optimus 2x] hobs0n:
Btw, updated to build #98, latest vorkkernel and now voodoo works! *happypanda*
[LG Optimus 2x] almmpt:
I have cm7 last nightly, now i go flash the vorkkernel, but how can i activate voodoo sound? How can I test the sound? Is the multimedia audio or the phone calls? Or is all audio sound?

I allready buy Voodoo Control Plus v3.0.1.apk for test it.

Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] hobs0n:
I just tested voodoo control plus and it says that it's already loaded, is that vorkkernel or cm7?
[LG Optimus 2x] sibbor:
problem is he doesn't seem to be working on the O2X for the moment, according to his github, where we're supposed to see his latest progress.

Impatiently awaits a new version so I can spend a few dollars on a donation. :-)

[LG Optimus 2x] vitaminxero:
Haha I'm in the same situation. I got excited when he was first working on it and then he pulled back and won't release until he makes it even better. It was sad because I thought he was going to go all the way with us before switching projects. =(

Can anyone point me to a G2x kernel with voodoo support that's compatible with the stock GB OTA? Thanks!

[LG Optimus 2x] sarni84:
there is no kernel for gb ota! lg hasnt released sources and why would u ask in this thread??? lol? faux and cm support it for g2x, this my friend is the o2x forum
[LG Optimus 2x] McRabbi:
This thread applies to both the G2x and O2x according to it's title and seemed like a logical place to ask about a Voodoo/OTA supporting kernel. Voodoo support being the primary focus made this seem to be a logical circle of interest to toss my question in the middle of. Especially since the voodoo app doesn't support loading the module without a modified kernel on these devices.....yet.

Thanks for the answer though, same thing faux told me. I guess we wait on LG or hope that supercurio reverse engineers an app level solution. As far as I'm aware he's already been working on that for us! :)

[LG Optimus 2x] Notorious544d:
There hasn't been any changes in your github...
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
That's because I'm working on the control app first.

To go into details, I'm defining a new driver/app API, much more versatile and just better designed.

The existing one is primitive and worked well only with one hardware platform, where all values and controls (min max, meaning and action of each control) are assumed.

So, I'm defining, writing code, testing the API first and then I'll implement it in the kernel driver as well.

And this time I'll be able to implement properly whats needed!

Optimus 2x will be the first driver to use this API. After that my task will be to unify driver implementations for LG and Samsung devices in order to provide the same feature set, even using the same portable code.
[LG Optimus 2x] supercurio:
Tanks for the kind welcome back messages :)

The teaser would be that plan is to implement everything that what's already available in the driver for Samsung devices.

I'm not sure yet being able too, as Optimus 2x doesn't have any implementations of routes or status in a sound driver in kernel but I'll try.
[LG Optimus 2x] smokeweedevery:
it sounds good, i really hope that you can make everything work, if LG not have messed up the sound drivers to much. so we can get the full awesomeness of voodoo sound:)

[LG Optimus 2x] ClausG76:
I just bought the app from market. But i'm a bit confused after reading through this thread. A lot of people mention that we have to use work kernel or cm. And it also looks like, that some people hasn't enabled load sound driver (uploaded pictures) The market description says, that you don't need root if you have a custom kernel and need root if if you use stock kernel. Is this correct? I use stock rooted frodo with stock kernel. And i checked the load sound driver. Is this the right way? It seems like i can control the amp volume.

If this little android bot is up in the left corner when you plug in you headphones .. it should be right :D

I just chatted (barely) with SuperCurio on IRC.

For those of you asking after him, and about progress, I can relay tha the is currently on vacation, and will be back in a few days.

As for progress he has made, he have designed the new voodoo sound kernel API, and have begun (slowly) implementing it in the various kernels. The O2x and G2x will be the first devices to experience this API.

Hope this will clear up stuff a bit.
