The problem is that you're on Zach's kernel. Don't try to load a voodoo driver on a kernel which already has one built in. Even if the one you're trying to load is a newer release. It always ends with a reboot!

Also, for everyone. Remember to turn off the auto injection when you change kernel. Esp, if you go to one with Voodoo sound built in, because then you'll just get boot loops as it tries to inject the new one over the one in the kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
I have definitely something to improve here, thanks for putting the explanation in such clear words ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] R64:
That is not entirely true. I ran kernels with and without voodoo sound in it and never had reboot or bootloops when injecting the module with the voodoo plus app. Even now I have a kernel with V8 build in and the app loads V9 without any problems on a stock JVH rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Higadeb:
Sorry, I should have been more specific. From my experience I think it only effects CM7 based Kernels. Apologies for the confusion :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] movrshakr:
And I agree. I am running Cognition which has voodoo built in. I have installed several updates of Voodoo Plus app with no problem. And I have 'load at boot' checked.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aphova:
South Africa recently got paid app support. Bought VC+ today. Looking forward to the new features :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] T_Frain_K:
And that, my friend, you do!

I have been following, admiring and benefited by your work since the first Voodoo sound releases, and am as impressed as everyone else I guess. Plus, I always found your reference kernels the most stable and useful ones. Voodoo even makes me miss FM-Radio on CM7 - I did not touch that on SGS "pre-Voodoo".

Here is a small reward for you: 1Y338142F96539354

Might even buy you a decent meal in France, or get you completly hammered on an austrian provincal Würschtlstand - whatever you prefer :)

PS: Know that you would have deserved that sooner, but I only now got allowed to post here. Stupid rule...

supercurio, the OP here still refers to v7. And there was a changelog with brief entries running in that post, but it ended with 5.5.3, 28 Mar 2011.

Might we ask that the OP here keep a running changelog of voodoo sound driver versions and app versions for those of us who are not into the github thing? github seems to be a place mostly frequented by developers.

Any chance for the i9003?

Hey Curio,

First off, huge respect for all the amazing stuff you've been doing with Voodoo sound.

Is there any chance you could do something for the ignored cousin SGSL I9003? I hear it has completely different audio hardware and thus Voodoo won't work at all on it. Is there any hope, now or in the near future?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kodos96:
Doesn't seem to work for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Woodend:
After buying the Galaxy SII, I'm now returning to Galaxy S. I missed the sound.

I have a question that's a bit OT. I read somewhere that mp3s which have been converted (lame codec) with the VBR and highest quality sound better than mp3s with 320 kbs CBR. What do you think?

Cheers!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] halfsoul:
Can I have your S II?

And no, you won't be able to hear the difference. But if you must have the highest possible quality, consider compressing with FLAC.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fallenguru:
AFAIK 320 kbit/s is the maximum bitrate for mp3, so VBR can only go lower, not higher, thus saving space in places where the higher bitrate is not needed. The only way I can see that VBR could be better than max-bitrate CBR is if the specific encoder used incidentally applies a better psychoacoustic model on the "more modern" VBR setting. :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Woodend:
Thanks guys.

The reason they gave was that there hasn't been any developement for CBR for years. They also did a blind test between VBR and Flac and couldn't hear any differences.

Voodoo sound and the Official Galaxy S dock

Hi There

Apologies if this has been covered before but I can't seem to find the definitive answer to this problem. I have voodoo sound installed with the Speedmod kernel and with both the Speedmod and the original Curio kernels I get poor sound when attempting to use the home dock.

I have tried both the official Samsung home dock software and some others on the market but the noise coming through the lineout is pretty consistent.

Has anyone come up with a solution for this? I know that if I remove the USB plug the sound quality is restored but I would like to have the option to recharge the unit whilst playing music. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Rick.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DarrenCarnall:
Forgive me for being stupid here (if I am)

A while ago I used to have this kernel and it fixed the problem I had of the external speaker only playing on music channel of sound (left or right) and when listening to something with strong separation like The Beatles that's very important! It was great!

But now I'm on Gingerbread (DebusROM G1 & damianGTO kernel) and the single channel playback problem has returned. I've tried other kernels that supposedly include voodoo sound but the external speaker still only plays the left or right channel.

Is there a kernel from here directly that works for Gingerbread?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
DamianGTO kernels are violating the GPL license since a long time and what you say here just confirms I need to blacklist this crap.

You can try mine: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=975349 but you'll find many other alternatives here on XDA.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DarrenCarnall:
Oh I'm sorry I don't know anything about what you're saying there about violations? I'll try the one you suggested though. Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dennishylau:
to my understanding if you publish a Linux kernel you are required to open-source (provide source when requested by other devs) it under the gpl license. damiangto refused to release sources of his kernels so he was violating the gpl rules.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] movrshakr:
supercurio, any chance you would consider a check on, check off option for fade out-fade in song track transition?

My music library has very abrupt endings and beginnings of the songs. A quick fade on the ends and a quick rise on the front end would be very useful.

I have bought yesterdag voodoo control plus, but i hear not anything different for my sound output.

I dare not change anything in the settings because I can so I might do something wrong.

I'll give you some info about phone, then perhaps you can tell what's wrong and what to do.

Supercurio,

I am currently on JPY, with SpeedMod. I want to purchase the Voodoo Control Plus app for the EQ but have a two questions:

- If I purchase this, will it conflict with the SpeedMod or will the newest Voodoo sound driver be used? I really want the hardware EQ ;)

- Can you set local currency prices for your app? I think the Android Market now supports setting your app in many currencies so people don't get stung with bank charges. Is this possible for your app?

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Thanks, I wake up to fix it :D

For the EQ, it was working already I think but 6dB didn't made enough difference on your test music to be noticeable I guess!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _JKay_:
The fm radio has too much bass. Thats mainly what i would like reduced.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dennishylau:
You got to fool around with the settings to have it set up and working :)

Basically what you do is load the module (load it only if the kernel you're using doesn't include one, especially if you are using cm7) and activate the features you need. For me I tick everything except mono downmix (which is pretty self-explanatory, right:)). If you are not using the "highjack volume button" feature then go and put the analog gain to the MIN level and adjust the digital gain (android media volume) to a comfortable level. If you want a higher volume adjust the android volume before dealing with the analog gain. Also just in case after rebooting always make sure the analog gain setting is still the one you have set or you may blow up your ears.

Careful with your hearing and enjoy the power of voodoo :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wackowizzard:
For starting, TNX 4 quick reply! ;)

I tryed to change the settings, like you explained above, but i don't find the exact words/options in my voodoo app. :(

But is this maybe because I'm using Voodoo control plus 2.0 beta3???

And I have reading the last stable is 5.5.3 with Voodoo sound v7, and my kernel supports that. (I think)

I have allready searched for installing 5.5.3, but there are so many different things you can install, that I really don't know what's good for my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] movrshakr:
Is this right? If voodoo has a newer module than the kernel one, don't you want to reload it to get the newer one?

And I have mine set to load at boot even though Cog has it, and have no problems at all. I would assume supercurio has the app's module unload existing one before loading itself.

It is a little bit too sensitive for my liking - it seems like the recent update has made it more sibilant?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dennishylau:
the newest module is v9, op is not up to date. use latest version.

sorry for confusing you by using outdated terminology...

OK the main feature of the app is to load voodoo sound module, control headphone amp and enable other tweaks.

Some main features:

headphone amplifier: a dedicated volume control besides the normal android media volume control. therefore from now on you have to sets of volume controls: android media and voodoo headphone amplifier. when used with earphones/headphones, set the android media volume to Max before increasing the headphone amp from -57. for line out set to +3.

volume limit: use it for the sake of your own safety.

map volume button: maps the volume button to the headphone amp. it works like this: android media volume 0 -> android media volume Max -> headphone amp starts to increase from -57.

don't interrupt music: use it as you like.

Jack plugin safety: same, do it the way you want to.

bass boost: new feature with module v9 and app v2 onwards. involves pounding drum that blows your ears.

mono downmix: combine the left and right channels of your music. to be used in special conditions e.g. sharing music with your girlfriend (the original purpose of this feature as suggested by someone hundreds of pages before). don't enable if you don't have to, music sucks with mono sound.

Other tweaks: allow fine tuning of sound reproduction, use wisely. Hint: tick them all

people with cm7 have reported that custom cm7 kernels (zach/glitch kernel) with voodoo sound implementation don't play well with voodoo control app injection of module and may result in boot loops. if you are on cm7 don't try it; however with kernels for Samsung custom roms (speedmod etc) it may work. no guarantee, use at your own risk. :)

Edit: Multiple confirms on voodoo module injection working if you have a kernel for samsung custom roms that already has voodoo sound module implemented. DOES NOT WORK WITH CUSTOM CM7 KERNELS!!!

Check my sig for an array of videos that I have posted on the SGS :P!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dennishylau:
Maybe I can help by doing some write up :D

I will not be free until the end of June though, got ib school internal exams + GCE a-level (exams of two different curriculums sum up to a tragedy). Shall I contact you about this later throughout the summer?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
lol, thanks but, my cousin is doing the write up :P

I was just letting you know :D!

Good luck with IB - i did it...it's a pain in the ass lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dennishylau:
Good that you already have assistance ;)

For IB... yeah a nightmare... but imagine the IB with a combo of Physics HL and Maths HL... and some bxstaxd teachers that will turn around and say "Yeah I am a ***** when it comes to marking" or "And your lab... your lab is ****, you just put it together" (these are direct quotes), mark down your work and aim to screw up your predicted grades. A FREAKING pain in the ass. That's why I am doing the GCE by myself besides my ib school work. Get 2 or 3 A*s and forget about IB forever!

BTW Sorry for being off-topic.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
well tbh...i kind of regret doing IB.

Here in the UK it isn't as recognised...

Thus my 32 points was = to like BBA in A lvl.

Considering that my UCAS points are almost 3x the amount of BBA...is RIDICULOUS. Especially seeing as we do 2x the amount of work/classes/exams!

I wish I did A-lvl and got AAA...would have been worth more.

They say IB is one of the hardest exams in your life.

Agreed. I'm in the 2nd yr of uni, and nothing has come close to SL economics or HL French (yup I'm bi-lingual and still found it tricky) although I got a 6 or a 7 in that, out of 7 :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dennishylau:
I am already regretting for doing IB and I am just half way through the course... sigh:( really having a hard time, countless work, 4 hours of sleep per day, 0 social life, pace that you will never catch up...

But then some people can always make it. You never know how they do it but they can really do it. I think it's like doing some hardcore Maths proves, it's not only about working hard but also talent. I am pretty sure that about 10 out of ~40 of my classmates will score 38+ and head over to top universities around the world. Too bad that I don't have such ability nor am I super wealth boy with a billionaire father to support me. All I see is darkness ahead of me and there is no way out...GCE is my last bet.

In fact android and music are the things that sustain my life now. They are the only things I can squeeze out time for on my way to school or late at night. They are the only things that surprises me and excites me everyday. How pathetic that is...!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
it isn't pathetic.

You, like me, have knowledge and enjoy using technology.

Others don't. Now that's a life long skill.

IB? What IB? I did it, now I've forgotten it...can't remember what I did in economics for example, apart from some vague memories.

My classmates got over 36's! My best friend got 43....

You do WHAT YOU CAN, and don't worry about the rest.

I didn't get into the best university, but I enjoy it here, have made lovely friends, learnt a lot of things, and met my girlfriend who has been with my for 1 year and 7 months.

Coming from an all boys school, that's something I would have never dreamt of.

Be who you are, and do the things you do. Don't let a course, parents nor teachers let you tell you otherwise.

If they don't like you or what you do, then f em. Simple as that.

Anyway ate, we better stop talking on this thread :P

If you want PM me on XDA or on YouTube :)

In my experience so far with Plus 2.0 beta 3, this is not the case. Is it a bug?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dennishylau:
I think you have to enable map volume keys hack. it will be great if the volume restores without it though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dennishylau:
hi supercurio,

the bass boost is amazing. I know this is only the start of the eq plan, keep it up!

right now in the bass boost menu we have got an on-off button, four modes to choose from, additional gain and dynamic range control. instead of using an on-off button, why not just automate the switching and only show whether the bass boost is on or off(just show the status without button)?

the idea is when the bass boost is 0+ at 100% dynamic range, the app automatically switch off the bass boost (regardless of the bass mode), bypass the equalizer and thus reproduce better sound with less noise. when the user mess around with the bass gain or dynamic range (either one of them being changed), the app automatically switches on the equalizer and apply the enhancement.

just a little thing to enhance user experience :) what do you think?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dennishylau:
Hi Supercurio,

Sending in a nice and hot bug report ;)

If I switch on the bass boost, play around with the bass boost mode and the bass boost gain, then go change the headphone amp, the headphone amp and the whole voodoo control app will freeze and at the same time the volume of music will suddenly increase. I am using cm7 with original cm7 kernel and injection of sound module.

Hello everyone,

Since updating to voodoo sound 9 (on talon kernel) I've seen a return of the single channel stereo issue (where one stereo channel is played back on both left and right channels). I haven't been keeping up with this thread, but I read through the last 5 pages and haven't seen it mentioned... is this a known issue?
