Are you kidding with that sample? :) Those frequences are totally missing without oversampling enabled (in second part of wav). Although oversamping enabled, it is still not crystal clear, is it so (I hear a little noise)? But, I cannot distinguesh anything on that wav between 128 oversampling on 5.2 stable and DAP only with oversampling.

I've also noticed that I'm able to hear it only on maximum sound level (15) in stock wav player, If I goes down to 14 or below, I'm not hearing those waves anymore which scares me a little bit. What does it mean? What player do you use?

I've tried to play it on my intel HDA codec in PC linux and that waves are barerly heard compared to sgs but its clear without noise (maybe because its too low)

edit: I've discovered that I've to set volume in voodoo to max level and in android sound level to max too. Otherwise I'm not hearing those waves in sample.wav

i want this too. im a noob. how can i do this too?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Meza1:
supercurio, thanks again for some more amazing work on Voodoo. Looking forward to testing out the mic recording at a gig soon. Do I use the stock video recorder app as normal?

Also may I ask, will you be able to improve on the terrible stock outgoing voice quality on calls?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Timo Schmidt:
Is it possible that voodoo sound app 2 still cant save its settings? If so is there another way to save the two DAC enhancement features?

Finally got Voodoo 5.2 working with darky 8.1.

I went back to an old backup. installed darky 8.0. rebooted and installed 8.1 over. from a clean install I was then able to flash voodoo 5.2. after then I made my customisations like boot logo and the battery icon. I think there is something wrong with the circle battery icon from Darky 8.0 it looks nice, but changes some more thinks than just the batt icon. I am not able to backup and restore with nadroid after this modifications, always get fc after restore. I think there must be a bug something in the darky rom or the merge with the batt icon replacement.

Your kernel is very fast too, no difference between HC and yours. I do not like the modifications HC tries to include in his kernel. I am happy with stock Mic volume and also with auto brightness, so I will stuck with voodoo 5.2 for a while now. It fits my needs best. The Galaxy is a really fine audio device. sad I have to pipe the music thrue the original samsung headset adapter before it arrives the akg324. there is a huge diverence with adapter in the line or not. really crapy adapter.

Thanks for sharing your hard work with us espacially for the availability to customize the audio settings. would like to have them boot resistant.

audiophile HW comparison

dear sound lovers,

i waited a bit before expressing an opinion but now i have to recognize what a wonderful job Supercurio did!:D

test equipment:

Audio-Technica Quietpoint ATH-ANC7

FIM supersound vol IV (XRCD-24) (the experts know what i'm speaking of...) in .wav original file

avaxhome.ws/music/jazz/t_fim_super_sound_1.html

contest:

Samsung Galaxy 9000S Speedmod kernel K12Q-T1 with Supercurio voodoo sound 2

versus

Soundblaster Audigy platinum 2 (with my tower PC watercoled --> almost no noise :))

Well,

after many repetition, trying to equalize to same out level on the Headphone with and without noice cancellling option, i can say:

AWESOME! incredibile!Incredible! Unglaublich!

it's really astonishing how his wolfson DAC can mange the sound, if well driven. and the thanks goes to Supercurio not properly to Samsung :(

In particular i want to add that with noise cancelling activated (help to boost the driving current of my headphone which need more Ampere...) i can hear more brite and clear voices on Samsung than on my PC; the black spaces within notes are very dark and each peak of sound explode from the plateaux almost like live in concert room.

i must anyway say that without boost of NC option the Samsung current driver is not enough for my headphone set (large and sealed overears, with big membrane) to overcome the PC soundblasted (not a cheap one...!!!)

I naturally activated all the option available in voodoo sound app 2, in particular 128x oversampling which normally leads to a more soft and real sound.

In conclusion: Excellent work, Supercurio and thanks to samsung to have implemented such device on Galaxy 9000S

sincerely

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yogoj:
There is a background noise.When I stop a music ,my SGS+EW9 play some background noises about 3 seconds before I hear a "current cutting off".When I use a bluetooth,there was also background noises.And system voices played by bluetooth had some lag at about 3 sec.It just like sound services...started...and...ended... then 3sec waiting "before start" and "after end".

I just want to express that "Sound services have some background noises.And bluetooth have a delay." Maybe it was a JPY firmwire's bug???

Did anybody hear that strange noises??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Bluetooth devices are independent, they have their own audio life ;)

If you hear hiss with your headphones, it's time to reduce the analog headphone amplifier gain, and bump up the digital volume to compensate ;)

− until you don't hear any hiss at all anymore!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yogoj:
Thank you,Supercurio. Excellent works!!~~ :)

I couldn't believe my ears ,when listening for the first time.:eek: I was standing in front of speakers ,2 meters away.The sound push my chests and I thought recording must be distorted.I think it will show amazing results at any volume,as long as no one blow the air direct in mic.

P.S. I apologize for my bad english.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
not sound related || One of the custom kernel you used replaced the vold.fstab by an 2.2 one (instead of 2.2.1).

I think I will force copy a vold.fstab too in the next version.

what about battery usage? does the new features like snr etc use more battery?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
All the new features or settings presented now are done 100% by the audio hardware, which is very low power optimized.

Translation: more features - same battery life :)

I'm a complete noob regarding android / linux scripts:

Which extension does this script have? In which directory do I have to move this file? Is a normal text-editor enough to create a init.d script?

It would be nice if someone could help to make the DAC-Settings in voodoo sound permanent :D

Greetings and thank you in advance,

btw. great work curio - never thought that sound quality of a device could be improved with drivers / software :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Philip #II:
thx a million supercurio!

the video recording sound was the only thing i really really hated badly about this phone and you fixed it and now it's perfect!

Unfortunately i don't have a paypal account but i want to donate something for your awesome work! Can you give me your bank data or something so i can make a normal transfer?

also sample videos coming soon :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] -=MaD DoC=-:
Going to a club today, will be testing the new kernel with some videos :cool:

should the default camera app be sufficient?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Permanent & restored settings is what I'll do this week end, also experimenting with an improved volume slider (and its access)

And, about improving sound, it all depends on the hardware... when it's a really high quality hardware like Wolfson's WM8994, it becomes easier :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Glad you like it ! :)

I published a donate version of the Voodoo Control app - same features but it costs 10€

I hope the price is a sensible compromise
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
It will be perfect.

Have fun here ;)

It is JUST GREAT !

Hi all,

was flashing the 5.2 Kernel yesterday evening and tonight I went to a game of our local Ice Hockey Club in Berlin (Eisbaeren Berlin). Those games are in a big arena, today with 14.100 people, very loud, very noisy, extremely loud music as well.

I did some recordings with Supercurio's Mic gain fix and I have to say: It is incredible!

In former times there was just rubbish sound, you hardly heard anything. Now it is almost crystal clear!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmAGpoI3jjU

By the way - this is what is was before, so you can directly compare:

Really great work and my donation well deserved. Please keep up your good work, Supercurio! Extremely appreciated!

Thanks, and now very happy about audio recording capabilities,

from Berlin/Germany,

Andi
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagrim1:
It's very reasonable in my opinion given the improvement (you could actually name it an added feature since previously you couldn't really record a video in these conditions ;) ).

Haven't purchased the donate version yet, but will do soon (ehm, sooner then I thought... just bought it ;) Thanks for the great work and improving our devices noticably!!)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] n19htmare:
Alright.... Updated to the latest kernel from Designgears implementing the new sound changes. firebird 0.4

Since then, I've got some NASTY floor noise, which seems to kick in when the phone's in use. Anyone else with this issue?

Adjusting the gain up and down does nothing to the noise, it's pretty steady floor noise (faint hissing, crackling etc)

wanna see if you got it? try using the stock headphones.

Play a song and keep it playing, turn the volume ALL the way down (not the gain, but the volume from the side rocker).... so music is playing and volume is all down........do you hear it? smalll sizzle?

now adjust the gain.... notice how adjusting the gain does not get rid of the floor noise.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brett.darnell:
[REQUEST] can you update your awesome sound kernel to include usb audio out?

After heaps of searching it looks like samsungs stock froyo rom doesnt do it either. Although in my searching i did see a source code web site that had the code for the kernel and options to uncomment when building.

Thanks for considering.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
One issue I have with this is that when I have my headphones in, the notification ringtone is also fully blasted away.. is there a way to have this just at non amplified volumes aside from always setting the phone to vibrate mode or lowering the notificatio volume every time I use the headphones
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] patriarha:
From what i've seen it's a Wolfson WM8994E for which i have not been able to find any specifications. Still the variant without "E" is good DAC, but only has 6 mW on the headphone output. Now that is just not enough so SAMSUNG must have used an opamp as well. Do you happen to know what opamp they are using? This is also critical information, because the opamp is actually the most important element in a portable sound system. :) I'm asking, because i do seem to get a fair bit of distortion, that was not there before (was using audioboost).

P.S. My headphones are Senheiser's PX-100. Would be interesting to know what the opamp is capable of, because i also own a good pair of AKG K141 (600 Ohm oldschool monitors) and there does not seems to be enough juice to feed them.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SamHaLeKe:
Do not only think... They are both driven the same hardware very directly, it could wel be they conflict with each other, with hard consequences on your hardware (permanent noice, hiss, failure,...) Need to be looked into very carefully by both programmers. As far as I know, supercurio is very aware and on it... 3d and HW EQ was on his list from the beginning... Just be carefull.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Maddmatt:
Is there a detailed explanation of the settings somewhere? Because I don't fully understand what difference these settings will make.

Specifically:

Disabling the voice filter to improve bass on the FM radio, will this affect phone calls too?

The DAC quality optimisations, what exactly do they do and is there any reason we would want to turn them off?

Is the sound quality improvement noticeable with the stock Samsung earphones that come with the SGS?

And how do I use these :

Or are they not enabled yet?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Woodend:
I´m just a unexperienced as you are. I didn´t have a clue in the beginning but managed somehow. I followed this guide ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=909540 ). I flashed Darky´s rom 8.0

and after that the voodoo kernel.

And be patient. I bricked my phone cause I haven´t been. The process of rebooting takes some time.

Good luck!

I can still hear the crackling sound. Is this a hardware error or this issue is happen cause of firmware. No crackling sound when im not using voodo or speedmod and on dxjpa.

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] H_BM:
whats version of rom are you using froyo? Im still hearing occasional cracling sound when playing music especially with wifi on. Is this a hardware problem or merely a firmware issue. This noise didn't come when im on stock rom dxjpa, but once i apply voodo or speedmod than i start to hear some crackling sound.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] H_BM:
Supercurio,

I happen to hear somekind of clicking/crackling sound whenever i'm playing some music. I have applied 5.1 and have tried 5.2 and this problem still exist. Its getting worse when wifi is on.

Is this a known problem on any firmware other than froyo or eclair or this problem cause by defect on hardware?

Please advice
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] H_BM:
Whenever I flash back to eclair or froyo and no voodo or speedmod this noise will go away. So I guess this is a firmware issue.

any thoughts on a widget to show current settings.. ie amp level, and current mic setting. and to open app from it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aphova:
This kernel has done something I never considered possible. I was very disappointed with the phone on 2.1 when I first played music after reading the GSM arena tests' frequency response results etc. But now... Just amazing. When you don't even consider adjusting an EQ when playing music is when it's been done right.

A couple of questions I have though...

I do get the clicks though (on JPY/JS3 ROMS with HD201s and all music players, Wi-Fi off etc.) and with the music being so clear it's annoying. Any suggestions for a good 2.2 ROM to change to while this is being fixed? I only started trying different ROMS from 2.2.1 so I don't know many. Anything quick and stable. Appreciate any suggestions :)

I was also wondering, is it true that AAC is better than MP3 at the same bitrate/sampling? It's so clear now that a lot of MP3s sound rubbish even at high rates. Especially for noisy rock. Time to move on I think :p

And apparently the iPhone (read: iPod with SIM card which old Stevie charges triple for) is the de facto for music. I was just wondering any old iPhone users who think the Galaxy S is better now, or still getting there?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] t_a_x_2:
Supercurio awesome job, tested the new oversampling sttings on my car amplifier and I had to turn all eq car and phone including samsung galaxy tuner and the sound was perfect.

As soon as i'm able to donate I will.

You have turned a full dissapoinment on sound into a full win

Thanks :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eeyunopper:
According to the graphs AAC is better than mp3. I am no expert, far from it, but I've done a lot of tests using Foobar to convert my CD's to MP3, OGG, FLAC, AAC and testing these on my I9000, just to see which is the best sounding. In the end it seems to depend on how good the original is (imo). Ogg (@500kbps) is good, smooth, but seems to lack excitement, mp3 (LAME 320kbps) is more exciting than OGG, aac is a combination of the 2 (@ 400kbps), so to my ears, and headphones, and phone AAC is better. FLAC is better still, but can sometimes sound harsh (again, depending on original (Radiohead 'In Rainbows' for example). WAV sounds awful (not sure why this should sound different to FLAC), but with my earphones it sounds very harsh. Maybe the 'Jitter' fix will remedy this.

i just got my SGS and haven't really had much issue since day one with sound, but then again i have been running Hardcores kernel so...

But the only think i find is annoying is headphones with mic. The SGS headset will not last forever and when they die i don't want to be running around looking for some or ordering them for samsung (wish they sold them at bestbuy). I just want to be able to go to bestbuy and buy a pair of skull candy Mic'd headphones or even dare i say it iphone headphones and use them, currently however they have horrible sound and do not work as a headset which is very annoying. I believe this is a pin issue that maybe be solved via software hacks and that would be the best thing ever.

I read that only nokia headphones will work, but thats dumb i should be able to buy any mic headphones and use it. I was able to do so with my blackberry so why not the Galaxy S?

You can buy the original samsung headphone adapter (headphone adapter + headphone), which works perfectly with the i9000. You can use all headphones with it.

I dont like inears, therefore i use the "AKG Acoustics K 518 DJ" together with the samsung headphone adapter, with gives me a super sound with voodo + galaxy tuner.

i just got a kernel packaged with voodoo sound fix on my samsung captivate

i also got the voodoo control app from the market

seems to be going well but if i adjust the settings for the control app they dont seem to save after a reboot

i know xan's voltage control had a similar issue and i had to chmod my /system/etc/init.d/ folder - is there some kind of permission i need to set to allow this app to write it's settings to save for boot?

p.s. i searched and i didn't find a decent up front answer to this concern though i did see it was mentioned somewhere
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] freakfingers12:
Awesome!

Wow, supercurio, I am amazed! Tested during a school charity concert, it wasn't a true gig, or in the club, so the 3000 audience actually sounded as loud as the speakers. And still no distortion, sound recording was good.

But I realise through my phone using stock earpiece, I can't really hear the low frequencies and sometimes they get distorted. On the computer though, the low frequencies were good so it wasn't the recording that was distorted, but the phone output seems to be distorted.

Using Balanced settings. Forgot to turn on Loud.
