Is there an incall volume increase above the defaults with this already ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nucleic acid:
hey supercurio,

this is a really nice project of yours. many thx for your effort! be sure about my ten bucks as soon as you get this baked^^

btw, if someone is interested in top-notch, yet portable "over the ear" headphones which are IMO perfect with our SGS, than give those "creative aurvana live!" a chance! their price is unbeatable...alone for the fact that these earphones share their drivers with the ones used in the denon ah-d1001.

now, with over 200 hours of use on different sources, i enjoy them more and more each day.

Creative Aurvana Live!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lpy:
Regarding the crappy audio distortion when using the camera, I did a couple of internal mic recording tests using Tape Machine and the phone right next to a very loud speaker...

0-13sec: Recorded with "Disable AGC" unchecked

The same type of distortion when using the camera.

13-26sec: Recorded with "Disable AGC" checked

Sounding a lot better, but still a little distortion

26-39sec: Recorded with "Disable AGC" checked and AudioBoost

Sounding excellent, very clean. AudioBoost Mic setting changed from 192 (default) to 188. This drops the audio to -1.5dB, which I then edited to bring it up 1.4dB to match the same volume as the previous two recordings.

Once again, good hardware from Samsung, but crappy software.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Grashoper:
When this is all done, will it also improve the quality of sound (from the mic, and what the other person hears) during a phone call?? When this is all done, and the phone call sound quality pickup from the mic is where it should be (rather than sounding like the distorted video recordings when in loud environments) and everything is good I will GLADLY donate $40 no questions asked. If it exceeds, it will be more.

Galaxy S Music Player

Lets hope the Galaxy S Music player has a lot of audio optimizations to make Supercurio's job easier.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] menerio:
Hi supercurio,

My expectation is about the mic sensitivity. I want to record clear concert videos, bike videos without the disturbing effects of the wind. Also, recording a firework show really annoys me on SGS.

I have a 10EUR budget to donate, waiting for the final product. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aegeuss:
Competition on the way :)

Hi guys,

A similar application has just been released to the market as "Galaxy Tuner" which claims to adjust the hardware equalizer. Here are the related links:

http://android-apps.com/applications/tools/galaxy-tuner/

http://blog.naver.com/dowkim10

http://twitpic.com/3nntt5

I have installed the app from market but it does not recognize my phone, although it's a SGS, so I could not try it.

Regards.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Yo_oY:
Same thing to me this app doesn't recocgnise my galaxy s...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rafalense:
I guess you set front mic to record, right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lpy:
Yep, front.

I suppose if Samsung really wanted to, they could improve the camera app with this kind of audio, and then give it to us to download within the Samsung Apps app, but I doubt that'll happen.

Galaxy Tuner doesn't work for me either, but the translation may be of use to supercurio and others: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://blog.naver.com/dowkim10

:eek: is he using supercurio's work, or is the translation wrong?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oswade:
Wow, very interesting! Thanks for the heads up. Maybe it only works with the korean sgs? Or maybe it requires 2.1 or 2.2 (im on 2.2.1 jpy).

Seems like it might be using parts of voodoo sound (hard to tell with google translate but I see "voodoo" mentioned).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lpy:
Looks like he's been chatting to him: http://twitter.com/studiominal
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aegeuss:
I don't think so, because the real developer has another twitter account: http://twitter.com/dowkim10

Unfortunately it's in Korean so I don't know what he says.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tomasitoc:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] parhelion69:
Supercurio, your first post is really outdated! I wish I could find some info on your new features (like bass boost and the like). I know geniuses tend to procrastinate, but this is overkill! :D

Also I just read that you say that you don't like your voodoo color implementation, but I remember that voodoo color on froyo was really great, specially on the default galaxy s video player on "warm" settings, colors packed a real punch! Is there a way to config gamma hack and RGB on gingerbread (I'm using galaxian) to look like your froyo warm setting?

And I'm curious, what could be a good color implementation then?

The only way it will work on a stock kernel is with the paid version.

Have the paid up on a rooted Droid Charge.. load sound driver option is grayed out.. Any ideas?

running EP1H, GB 2.3.4 - kernel 2.6.35.7
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CesarSan:
Thanks for the answer, but with a stock kernel I would loose some features of the phone, i.e. the digital TV, wouldn´t I?

Best Regards,

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hi!

Nope, you'll only gain features, no loss ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Ô Droid charge Gingerbread that's right?

Is it a leak?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] asenduk:
It is :(

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Okay tell me if you want a beta test version (send me an email)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] movrshakr:
supercurio, how hard is it to make the driver and the app work on so many different phones and ROMs?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Its the hardest part, I spend much more time on porting and support than on new feature development.

Its challenging to support devices you don't have (cannot beta-test or debug yourself)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CesarSan:
supercurio,

I´m sorry for that stupid question, but I am new on Android and I think that mine is a stock kernel firmware... I don´t know if I understood correctly what a stock kernel is, but my current firmware is the I9000B VJJV3 Android 2.3.3 from Samfirmware.com .

Could you confirm if this is a stock kernel?

Thank you very much for your patience!

CHS
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Yes it is! It will work with Voodoo Control Plus as long as your phone is rooted :)

"stock" is a kernel built by Samsung.

"custom" is built by a third party developer, from sources.

Samsfirmware let you download Samsung firmware (officials or internal betas, known as leaks)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] movrshakr:
Another way to think of "stock" kernel is that is is any kernel that "comes with" a phone out of the store. In other words, one that has the manufacturer+provider software in it.

Actually, it is more than 'kernel.' There are quite a few pieces which all together make up the phone's software...kernel, configuration files, modem, applications, and other pieces that work with the kernel to make up the operating system as a whole.

Custom developers package modified versions of these pieces together to make up their custom "ROM." If none of the pieces have been modified, it is 'stock.'
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] halfsoul:
supercurio,

Sometimes when I plug in headphones my Captivate continues to operate as if Voodoo Control Plus wasn't even installed - meaning the icon doesn't appear and the analog volume control has no effect. I try unplugging and re-plugging, but Voodoo doesn't take over. Then if I launch Voodoo from the App drawer it functions normally. Seems to me that the service is getting stopped/killed at some point?

On Serendipity 7, S7 kernel 4.1

What should I do to try and gather more data to troubleshoot? I'd rather not post a logcat that contains a full week or more.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] squashfanatic:
Hi Supetcurio, sorry if this has been asked before. Everytime I reboot the voodoo app does not load and the 'load at boot' is unchecked. I am on stock jvq deodexed with speedmod. Can I did this? Thanks very much
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rebel2k:
Have you tried to clear cache and data of the app? Sometimes it helps: clear cache and data, start the app again, put your settings back, and that should work. Be sure to have the last version from the market too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] squashfanatic:
Yes all of the above, same result
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] movrshakr:
I would uninstall the app and reinstall it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] adl:
For those with the "not loading" issue try this:

Uninstall, then go to superuser and delete the voodoosound entry there, reboot, reinstall from market. I think i read that this worked for someone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ristokoo:
Suggestions for in-ears to fully enjoy SGS & Voodoo Sound?

I'm thinking of buying a pair of in-ear headphones that would have a good sound. I wouldn't call myself an audiophile but I'm still interested in good sound ;) The price range I have in mind is 100-200 €. After some investigation I think one possible model would be Ultimate Ears 700, what do you think?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dennishylau:
ue is ok, besides you may also consider some shures and etymotics...

the best thing to do is to try them out yourself then decide rather than making your decisions entirely based on reviews. music is about personal preference after all :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jamesd256:
I bought the Etymotic HF2 headset. Despite no warning on the Etymotic site, where it states that 'Android' is supported, the headphones didn't work properly on the Galaxy. I posted on this thread about this before.

The Galaxy S has a different pin out arrangement on the headset output compared to HTC Android phones. So you need an adapter that crosses over 2 of the connectors (TRRS -> TRSR, T= tip, R = ring, S = sleeve). I made one for about £4, or you can buy one for about £15.

Despite all this, the headset is perfect for me. If you like an accurate sound image over boomy uncontrolled bass, then you will like Ety's. Really delicious detail and dynamics to my ears.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jamesd256:
24 / 96 audio

Is it possible to rip and play back from HD sources with any benefits on the Galaxy S?

In other words can we play back 24 bit or 96/192Khz audio, and will it improve the dynamic range/resolution subjectively?

If not, is there a hardware or software reason why not?

I have some HDCD sources, but I would be interested to see if it is possible to get some SACD or DVD Audio sources working.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] leroys:
I have a pair of etymotic ER4P's and they are awesome :)

Feature request - control audio routing to dock

Hi Supercurio,

I have a car dock and run my music through that thanks to this little hack which detects the dock and reroutes the audio to the micro usb:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=980937

Unfortunately it does not register as a headphone plug in event so voodoo control plus dots not trigger. Also when I disconnect it, it does not register as a headphone disconnected event and so the music keeps playing but switches to the loudspeaker.

It would be nice if voodoo control plus had some dock features, eg an option to route audio to dock automatically or manually.

Regards,
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] betoNL:

I installed Darky's ROM 10.2 with DarkCore 2.9.3 kernel. Do I need to flash voodoo kernel after that or it's already inside? Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] movrshakr:
You mean to tell me their dev pages do not say if voodoo is built in? Can't comprehend that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] movrshakr:
Captivate ATT. Anybody know a way to get text notification sounds to repeat periodically?

I get texts but often don't hear the sound (I have volume at max and picked the loudest tone--still miss it when in noisy areas). I carry the phone around for hours (belt holster) before noticing a text in the notification bar when I grab it for something else. I'd like for the text notification sound to repeat periodically until I view the text.

I downloaded Handscent, but don't see this option anywhere in there either.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sg10:
just wondering if anyone compare galaxy s1 with voodoo sound vs s2 ?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jmwreck:
super good bass

ive tried putting my sony mdr-ex 50 (deep bass) in-ear phone and played my music using the poweramp and set voodoo control. its just keep getting better :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Galaxy S II is an amazing phone, but no good in the audio department.

- High amount of inter-modal distortions created by the DAC: souds dull and dead.

- GSM & CPU noise with sensitive headphones

- Weak headphone amp

It might satisfy people used to lower quality stuff, but for me its disappointing crap with no headroom for improvement.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] movrshakr:
That seals it for me. I will stay with Captivate even if S2 becomes available ATT-US.

I hate the GPS, but I will not give up decent sound to get it.

Why didn't they hire you!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pamarakos:
Mic sensitivity....

With so much improvements going on...something came back to my mind...it's a pity to have such a great device and such bad quality while talking...

Hi Super,

I wanted to know what the map volume keys hack is for? Actually, what are all these options do lol. I'm a noob who's new to this sound science. I have noticed that when I have the bass boost feature on to +12db with full dynamic range on recommended, the analog gain goes from +5db to -3db. Is there a way to have it back to +5db or tweak it where it's balanced on sound clarity and loudness? Thanks.

2.3.5 Support

Hi Supercurio,

Is there any chance the app could be updated to support 2.3.5 (CM7)? The headphone amp works initially, but after loading kernel module, it stops working.

Many thanks for your help...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DaBigFreak:
Hey guys, scince I am using custom roms, I am trying to set voodoo control that way so I get more bass with the standard musik player, cause this one is bringing me the nice 5.1 sound, that I realy like, but so far without real nice bass.

To the voodoo team: Have you tried PowerAMP? Have you set there the bass up, used in-ear-phones? Then you know what I mean with "real bass".

So far I didnt managed to get that nice and hard/smooth bass as with PowerAMP, no way. I thought that with all the bass settings, specialy with v10 will result at least same nice bass but it doesnt.

Maybe you guys make a bit more out of this realy nice project! Keep it on :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zerkai:
What do you think about samsung infuse, has good potential or?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] twisted_swe:
Still got my SGS1 for that very reason, the SGS2 just dont cut it when it comes to music.

Sometimes i think i found the perfect settings on the SGS2, but then i compare it to the SGS1 and realize I just forgot how good the SGS1 sounds.

Sad to hear that there's no headroom for improvment :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] twisted_swe:
Its got a hummingbird soc so there's likely a wolfson chip in it.

It's not much of an upgrade tho if you already have a SGS series phone. The screen is really the only update, altho a really nice update. The SGS2 and it's performance is just on another level, cant really compare. Huuuuge diffrence.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jamesd256:
I was set to buy the S II, but I am not willing to give up the sound on my S I, even though I would LOVE USB host. I couldn't care less about the dual CPU or bigger screen.

I hope someone at Samsung reads this, but I guess like most faceless giants, they only care about the headline numbers, and Joe Public is happy with mediocre audio.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jamesd256:
Sorry, but BUMP my question!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] twisted_swe:
Keep the S1 too :) The S2 is really a hugh leap up in every other department, I didnt think the diffrence would be this big.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jamesd256:
Thanks for the suggestion.

I know precisely what the differences are both in specifications and actual usage, and as I said, the sound is a deal breaker.

I have never carried two phones, and I am not going to start now.

I'm glad you're enjoying your S II
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Nash123:
Yeah I will skip sgs 2, just because of this soundissue.

Voodoo sound and galaxy tuner in combination with my akg 319 is just great. En par with my old but (sound)gold Nokia N91.

Hi,

I am currently using MIUI with the Vodoo Control Application on my Samsung Galaxy S. The sound performance is awesome when I play music, and it can get extremely loud.

However, during calls, I can barely hear the other person sometimes. Is it possible to make this effect phone calls as well?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ristokoo:
+1 for this, would be really nice :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] twisted_swe:
Carrying two phones is of course not an ideal solution :) I mostly use the SGS1 in the car, dont carry it around like on me all the time.

However there are not alot of options, the SGS2 is really not worse than alot of other phones when it comes to music, or is it? The SGS1 makes it look bad tho, DSP manager and so on makes the SGS2 better but not even close to voodoo SGS1.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jamesd256:
24 bit audio

Will 24 bit audio ever be possible with the SGS?

Is this a still a bounty thread? Is supercurio still answering questions? I am happy to commit to paying for this feature by the way. £25.

No one else? Really? Has anyone heard the difference between 16 and 24 bit audio through a good system? It is night and day. 24 bit audio is cleaner and more detailed than 16 bit can ever be. There is a ton of 24 bit flac content out there.

If someone could just say NO, stop asking, it will never happen, that would end the question. I just don't understand the silence on this. This thread is about getting the best from the phone right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dennishylau:
WM8994 is capable of switching automatically between 16bit mode and 24bit mode if I remember correctly. It's just the software that doesn't support this function. It will be epic if supercurio manage to implement this.

BTW which player supports 24bit flac on android?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jamesd256:
Yes, 24/96 audio is supported in hardware, as documented in the datasheet. Hence my question.

Will it be possible to enable the streaming of 24 bit audio to the chip via the kernel? That is the real question.

The question of what players exist is secondary to me, because if we get the news that the kernel will support 24 bit audio, 24 bit flac playback can be ported quite easily.

Definitely have experienced the sudden loud issue while at work. It was only funny the first time it happened though...

I suspect it is caused by the Bass Boost feature because, once unselected, it did not recur. Could be one of a million other causes though. Anyone else have this happen?

Superuser permissions not granted!

Hi Supercurio and all!

I've got my phone working just fine till two days ago when I had a problem with wifi not connecting to anything so decided to restore a backup I've had through CWM recovery!

Did this and everything was back to normal except Voodoo Control Plus app which was reporting that "Superuser Permissions not granted" although just above this it was reporting Superuser is available in Green letters! So it doesn't give me the choice of Load sound driver or load driver at boot active!

I decided to remove Superuser apk and reinstall it, update or even reinstall kernel but nothing worked, but also Voodoo app doesn't request from me to Allow it to run through superuser although every other application does give me notifications through Superuser to Allow it!!!

Can anybody help?

Thanks!

Sorry not mentioning...juwe xwjs8...working just fine till now...i ll try busybox but titanium backup mentions it working fine...

Yesterday I updated my i9000 to 2.3.4 (Gingerbread.XXJVQ). It is the stock rom so there`s no recovery mode and download mode. The first problem I had is that Voodoo Control Plus didn´t work because SU is not available.

I then downloaded Superuser. But it does not work, because it needs an update which fails everytime.

So now I´m stuck and don´t have a clue how to go from here. I would appreciate it very much if someone could give me some advice. Thanks for that in advance!
