Mixget did nothing for me at all...just raised the volume. .same as volume keys on the side..

Sent from my galaxy S..*****es..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] syr2000:
It's just what it does and intended to do. Our galaxys have the max output earphone power limited due to EU restrictions. Play with ALSA an MixGet settings and you will be able to hear a very loud sound on your ears.

But I'm not sure if the settings apply only to music and videos or also to the phone...

Anyway, are you talking about the earphone or the speaker on your phone?

how do you install the voodoo sound???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cba1986:
It was not released it yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] betoNL:
Just moved from JPH to JPA....

FM sound is so crappy, hard to say if it's Stereo or Mono...

Listening to the same stations via TuneIn apk sounds much better.....

Voice dialing also as crappy as all beta froyos and stock eclair....

Can SuperCurio improve the FM sound quality? No solutions yet?

« »
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] djscooby:
Yep the fm is really crap it is stereo but the sound is too spatialized and and it has no bass at all, thats what it feels to me. So if supercurio can do something with that it would be great!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jornbjorn:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] WiwiPouPou:
+1
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] betoNL:
Ty for your time.but I don't think you got it right

And the reason for that is that I read somewhere, sometime, that Supercurio was working on this kind of solution (standalone sound app)

Also it has been told: JS3 is different than JPX

All optimized kernels are based on JPX
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] WiwiPouPou:
I don't think so.. JPX JPY and JS3 are almost the same with different locales..

And voodoo sound is in kernel, i'm totally sure, we have to wait for samsung to implement voodoo sound in native to use it.. app just set kernels values, that's all.

Galaxy tuner calls value from stock kernel, that's why it seems "just app"... ask curio you'll see, but i follow his work for a long time...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nucleic acid:
I've also asked supercurio this question because i owned the klipsch image one. he said that he was told that it wouldn't be possible because of hardware incompatibilities. But another user pointed me to the nokia ad-57 adapter which solves this problem! a few pages back you will find the info on that^^
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Blackpt:
hey guys,it it normal that when i press down on the volume rocker, the bar stays full until i press a lot of times?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Devhux:
I've had a similar question. How could we modify the Voodoo kernel to allow for ocerclocking? (Just curious).

I do love the improvement with sound as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] adrianmak:
Then, did you test ur klipsch image one with nokia AD-57 ?

does the wired remote control of image one work ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oswade:
I think galaxy tuner might be able to overclock voodoo kernel. At least, it can set oc on hardcore kernel (1.2ghz only). But my phone always freezes on oc :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgkahn:
interesting .. just testing galaxy tuner.. running speedmod u test 4..

all app still show running at 1000 mhz such as system panel and set cpu

but benchmarks definately show oc..

quadrant advanced went from around 1350 to 1560

linpak went from around 14 to 16.8

didnt get hot but turned it off immediately.

With version 0.7.1 the Recording Preset keeps resetting to Original.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mothatt:
Loving the new voodoo hackery update for the app ;) Very convenient.

The ultimate thing for me, after parametric eq is implemented of course, would be native support for all of these excellent WM8994 features in CM7 when it becomes stable. It would be so cool to have CM7 be able to control all of these without an app. Hopefully you can get together with codeworkx and coolya and realise my dream :P

The only thing stopping the sgs from becoming the ultimate pmp now is gapless, which is unfortunately lacking in android.

Thanks again for your work, it is much appreciated!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ego42:
Supercurio,

Is it possible to detect the impedance of a connected headset or to distinguist between connected devices based on any other characteristic? What I'm aiming at is that it would be awesome if it could be possible to detect wheter headpones/speakers/carkit etc. are connected and pre-set gain accordingly.

For instance I would love to have 0 dB gain for my carkit, -14 dB for headphones and say -20 dB for my home music stand.

BTW the default gain of -28 dB is a real problem in my car because I cannot seem to be able to raise it during a phonecall. Is that a bug that the analog gain controls via rocker work only on media volume and not on phonecall volume?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lord12:
sorry for my question, maybe its in this thread but i don't like to read over 100 pages XD

Could it be, that the voodoo kernel needs more power than stock ??

I used stock kernel and voodoo lagfix 2 month, then i installed voodoo lagfix with voodoo kernel "2.6.32.9 curio@carton #Voodoo_stable_5.4"

Now my phone is empty in 24h normal usage. Before i made 2 days. (i installed only the kernel, no new app or somthing that could cause the battery drain)

I use JPY btw.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scorpeeon:
hello there. i love this application, it gives my earphone and even my headphone (HD595) so much power it can literally blow my head off :)

a question: what music player is recommended for it? i don't really care about EQ, i like keeping it as flat as possible, all i care about is sound quality. so is the default music player good for it or should i use something like poweramp or something else?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] droilfade:
@supercurio

Hey,

Let me start off by saying,Thank you.

When I updated the app yesterday. The volume now controls the headphone amplifier. But now, the media volume does not change, it stays full. Is this what you intend to do. To control the sound through headphone amplifier and not the media volume? I like the both to be different, gives more control I think!Thanks again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] droilfade:
Lol....Just got the update.Thanks for such a quick reply lol.... awesome...Love it even more now!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cwl999:
Thanks for making the HW volume button changes configurable in 0.7.2.

As usually, excellent work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] klysm:
Thanks for the latest appversion. Auto headphone detection works just fine. Hope there will be a hardware eq soon in you app.!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] droilfade:
Auto headphone detection- does this work only if you have the 'force analog vol.keys' ticked or even otherwise? I get the headphone amplifier only when I tick the option.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] klysm:
Yes you have to enable 'force hw vol keys'.

Then it sets the digital vol to the max when headphones are plugged in and the vol.keys will change the hardware volume.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MiG-:
Hi,

I've been doing some listening between the Galaxy S, and my humble X-Fi Platinum in my Desktop PC. All listening was performed with -V0 MP3 tracks, and again using Shure SRH840's.

Some thoughts about the Galaxy S:

The treble is still slightly too forward and loses sparkle and the very end of say a cymbol, I think there is just too much emphasis on the upper range.

The mid-range is a bit too flat on the Galaxy S. The focus of the sound is definitely in the higher regions. The X-Fi sounds a lot fuller and well rounded, with the exception of slightly recessed treble.

The question is, have there been many changes to the presentation of the sound? If it is all possible could we get a option to focus on a slightly warmer presentation (only a tad mind)?

Cheers,

MiG

@supercurio,

Did you receive the BT headphone I mailed to you?

I'll apreciate it if you will let me know.

Hopefully it arrived undamaged.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brett.darnell:
Possible bug in latest kernel. Not sure but here is whats happening.

Using latest kernel.

Have txt msg sound file different from default notifications.

Have driving mode on so SGS will announce txt msg.

Listening to music via power amp and txt msg comes in. Power amp sound stops, Txt notification plays, call announced then no sound from SGS after that.

Have to reboot to get back to normal.

Only happened twice now so maybe hard to find.

Hi SC,

Thanks you for re- mapping the hardware buttons for analog volume.

Sent you a Beer -- 1R4619282K6494849

Wanted to buy the paid version of the app, but felt the pricing was a bit too steep compared to software like tasker :o. If I may suggest, you might want to reconsider the pricing for the paid app.

Another loud club sound test! - FAILED lol...

It was very loud and the bass has lots of distortion in the video.

see the video test here - Distortion kicks in at 7 seconds

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0noRvn7qlBA

Supercurio: you have done an amazing job, i wouldnt even be able to tell that it was music i was listening to before your kernal!

With my latest test, i am unsure it its just the Mic that cant cope now, or if there is still more rool to turn down the gain on the mic?

Are you able to create another test profile with the gain turned down even more than the loud recording preset... i dunno, titled something like "stupid loud environment" lol

If there is any way you could make this preset and release it before friday that would be awesome cause i am off to london for a big, and very loud, club night that would be great to test at :)

Thanks again for your excellent work!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] H3llstorm:
Is there a noob's guide to Voodoo Control App settings somewhere? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] I9000bramgmail:
goals?:

Headphone amp analog gain:

Reduce the hiss or give you a much louder output. Configurable from very low levels to very high.

Already tested with sensitive in-ear very prone to hiss and brilliantly confirmed with Sennheiser high-end 300 Ohms headphones.

Hardware Parametric equalizer:

Change the frequency response to correct your headphone deficiencies or to adjust the sound how you like. Use 0 battery and work on every sound source. 100% configurable

Hardware 3D effect:

Finally, a good specialization effect. Can improve sound-stage if used wisely. Configurable.

-Don't wanna be rude but eh.. these goals are already completed? $ the one on top with voodoo sound app, the other 2 with the app called "galaxy Tuner" (free in market, galaxy S only) it has hardware Eq and 3D effect +configurable amount of 3D gain (:

cheers

do I need the voodoo kernel to use the voodoo app?

or can I use the voodoo app without any custom kernel?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Qukel:
You need the voodoo kernel or another kernel that has the voodoo soundfixes implemented.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] arkx:
galaxy tuner is good.. but NOT Parametric equalizer, and can't specific setting(EQ)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] I9000bramgmail:
on what do you base that it's not parametric?...

it does all available hardware settings..

i'm not tryin to be Pro galaxy Tuner,, I don't have anything to do with that app, just saw it, installed it and noticed it's actually an amazing app for sound loves,, which I think are to be found in this thread, and I love the voodoo control for reducing analog gain(:

but I think it's unnececairy to do thinks that are already done.. hw eq,3d..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _JKay_:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CazeW:
I know this has nothing to do with sound, well in certain extent it kinda has but anyways... Supercurio, as you seem to be very familiar with the hardware/software in the Galaxy S, any possibility you could also check into the much depated micro usb to hdmi issue? Have you noticed any indication in the code you've looked at that this might actually be possible?

Plugged in my Captivate into my Volvo's 8 speaker sound system today via the AUX jack and the quality was a bit weird. I'm not sure how to describe it as I'm not an audiophile or know much about music quality, but the sounds, tones, etc. seemed a bit off compared to when I use my Samsung YP-T6Z MP3 player.

I assume it's because he's busy coding and whenever he comes onto XDA he has hundreds of messages to deal with, which must be a distraction. He tweets constantly about update progress though, so head to Twitter to stay up to date. He has an awesome graphical overlay feature coming and the para EQ is next on the list!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Qukel:
I've seen a few requests for getting the sound of a voice call through the headphones. There is already a hardware solution for that and you can even keep the phone in your pocket when receiving a call.

I've bought a Samsung AARM040EBE Stereo Audio Adapter 3.5mm / 3.5mm that does the job. You connect your headphones to it and voila, you have a headset. It will turn your music off when receiving or making a call. The mic is of excellent quality, it has a volume control button and another button to control your music player.

The Nokia AD-57 adapter does the same job, or so I've been told.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ooohhh2:
supercurio, the latest update of voodoo app causes a bug with the media vol being stuck at 0 level. i installed the version before it,which i backuped, and the problem was gone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] riso123:
I cant reproduce this issue on my device.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] erahk64:
All changes in Voodoo control app is cleared when the Voodoo control app is stopped with Task Manager.

For example, if High perf. play is enabled it is disabled after stopping the app.

Has anyone else the same problem ?

I think this was not a problem in the first Voodoo control app versions.

I'm using Voodoo control app 0.7.3 and stock JPY with Voodoo kernel 5.4.1.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Me neither, I asked him in PM
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
since .7.x settings are restored from the preference storage at boot and also each time the main app is run.

You'll see traces in logcat to discover more, you can:

adb logcat | grep VoodooApp

(or search for every line containing VoodooApp)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] riso123:
Probably best for him to uninstall the app and re-install the app completely? Guessing that should clear any bugs that may present themselves in an update?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GizmoDroid:
In my experience, anytime the backlight for the buttons is on, there is a hiss in the rear speaker.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] erahk64:
I don't know how to use adb.

But I tried this:

* Headphones are connected to the phone

* Voodoo control app is started

* High performance play is enabled

* Return to home page by pressing the Home button

* Start Task Manager with long press of Home button

* All apps, including Voodoo control app, are stopped with the default Task Manager included in Froyo

* Voodoo control app started again, high performance play has been disabled

* Power off and power on the phone.

* Voodoo control app is started, high performance play is still disabled

I assume boot is the same as power off/power on and main app is running when starting Voodoo control app, or is this incorrect ?

So the settings should have been restored at these two actions ?

I have also uninstalled and installed Voodoo control app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Thanks I'll try to reproduce the issue (never saw this behavior before, even if I tested a lot of time this to develop the service)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] riso123:
On a side note... Would it be possible to set the headphone amp output at boot? That way i wont need to set it each time i restart my phone :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
With hardware key, setting a level is pretty straigtforward, mobile phones are not supposed to reboot 10x/day.

However, do you set the gain to a higher value or lower?

I won't set it to a higher value for safety reason, sensitive in-ears + an accidental high amp volume can be really dangerous for your health, I prefer requiring the user 2-3 press on a key than risking that even a fraction of users hurt themselves.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ooohhh2:
okay i did this and the problem doesnt occur. a bad alarm from me then.

thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ooohhh2:
just wanted to say that im really digging the new features you brought in curio! that hardware hack is very very handy. love the new translucent notification too! you are one smart rat! : D

just one question though. when i use the vol button, the amp jumps 2 or sometimes 3 db. you wanted it that way? personally i prefer 1db steps. just my 2 cents.

keep it up!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
thanks.

As I listen to volume change events broadcast by the system when the volume is already sent to the maximum, the implementation of this feature tries to guess what happens, filter events and translate this into analog gain changes.

However the system acts strange. When the screen is off, only 1 event is broadcast, when it's on, depends on the running application it's sometimes 2, sometimes 3. Sometimes the sequence make my code guessing 2x increase + 1x decrease.

I tried to do my best to filter those and adjust but it cannot be perfect (really, it's only a hack, even if it's useful ;))

However what i can do is make smaller increments in increase. I won't make them too small because when the screen is off only 1dB/press would be too little ^^

In Nexus S AOSP / CyangenMod and probably in collaboration with Wolfson & Google, the goal will be to make it native, it's the only proper way ^^
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ooohhh2:
ok, that sounds quite complicated maybe youll find it out somehow. im already more than happy anyway. i like the fact that your hack doesnt collide with player pro which i use to switch tracks by hold press.

greets.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] m3talmike:
Hey SC, thanks for your awsome work once again :) Αre you planning to create a setting in the app that keeps analog output level setting after a phone reboot? I think that would be great :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] marinerhemant:
Excellent work.... just donated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] embrion:
I've compared our international i9000 Galaxy S and Vibrant Kernel sources. Sound related parts seem to be identical so it confirms what I've read about a guy who switched i9000 jack socket to Virbant's one to get Apple headset compatibility.

That means GND and MIC/BT pins are switched hard, not soft way.

Our last chance is to find if those pins are rewireable by software (GPIO?)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dannybuoy:
I would also prefer 1dB steps! Perhaps make it configurable?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jamesd256:
Supercurio,

Is there any prospect of achieving stereo input to the phone? I know I have asked before, so sorry to keep going on about it.

A simple yes/no/I don't know would be much appreciated.

BTW, as mentioned, I would donate £20 for this feature. Anyone else interested?

Thanks,

My voodoo control is not holding its settings sometimes after using other apps. Any idea why?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
I'm thinking of it now. Still evaluating how to do it safely.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
That's exactly it !

Method will be to mess randomly with GPIO pins and see if it works :D

- and that's a dangerous method, easy to burn things with this approach...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Stereo input is not possible in theory.

Of course, with the same principle of arbitrary GPIO routing everything can be possible, but I won't count on that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CazeW:
For me with the player on top the volume goes down 3db with one press but for some reason it goes 4db up when pressing up once.

If you can get this fixed that it only goes up/down in constant increments, like 2db, it would be great. Even better would be if you could choose how much one press of the buttons should change the volume. :)

I'm not familiar with Android coding but I'm done some minor coding before so I'm wondering (not sure if this is possible), instead of listening to the volume change events, wouldn't it be better to listen to when one of the buttons is pressed event?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Currently:

Screen off:

up : 1x 2 dB

down: 1x 3 dB

Screen on:

up : 2x 2 dB

down: 1x 3 dB

In some apps re-sending volume change events

up : 3x 2 dB

down: 2x 3 dB

And this is already after event filtering (counting sequences, etc) ^^

Now you see what will happens if I set up to 1 dB :)
