Channel crossover for headphones? Someone mentioned it earlier using the term "crossmixing." It evens out the experience from listening to music with strong stereo separation over headphones.

Francois,

been following your sound/voodoo for a while - here's a couple of beers (7E784483GB896813M)

Just waiting for the quality in bluetooth audio to be improved before I update my I9000

Test files:

A very large, quiet .wav file

Normal mp3 music

Equipment : sennheiser mid range earphones

Result:

Jm9 stock: no pops, static or weirdness

Jpy stock: noticeable pops with wav files and with quiet mp3's, pops even when track seeking. Turning wifi on and off causes it too.

Jpy (speedmod/voodoo/SO): same result, audio pops

Its very frustrating! Almost ready to go back to eclair or get my old pmp out

This is exactly the same audio issue we had on eclair with the first few custom kernels that later got solved. I remember reporting this bug in the overclock thread ages ago.

I am not the only one reporting this, its very strange how some people don't have this issue
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fraztto:
Thanks for this curio. Using firebird 2 kernel from DG with voodoo sound and lagfix.

Testing on Akg K99 the power boost is awesome and i don't notice any quality loss.

Final word: FLAWLESS
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ntrdung:
Hi supuercurio,

Thank you for your answers,

As you said, Where is the sound of voodoo for a flat frequency. Therefore I think that stock music player is not activated audio sound card's bass boost.

In wave S8500 interface I select Bass Enhancement in Effect, it will implement very powerful bass, but on I9000 test seems no more bass.

I think the stock music player on I9000 has problem in EQ and Effect. It will be wonderful if anyone could fix music player to use all hardware features.

In stock music player, the lowest frequency in EQ now is 125Hz, but in PowerAMP is 31 Hz, 62Hz. I had tried to customize everything in EQ but the bass is still weak. I'm using Sound Magic PL11 headphone, prefer to bass head.

Thanks in advanced :rolleyes:

wait for hw parametric eq, supercurio is working on it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gicgi:
can you add a "disable stereo" option to your program? sometimes 2 people may want to share a single earphone or maybe there are people who can only hear through a single ear.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kalpik:
No offence, but that's plain stupid :|
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SexyIceCream:
anyone else experiences this same problem : you boost the digital volume to the max, then adjust the analog volume pressure to a comfortable level and listen to your mp3. but then a sms comes in and the notification tone blows your ears away(too loud) :eek: any one got an idea on how to solve this? :D adjusting the notification volume to a lower volume would not really work because then it'd sound too soft when you remove your headphones, and you wouldn't want to keep adjusting it every time you plug in and out...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gicgi:
well,

lets say adam has a girlfriend.

adam and his gf wants to listen music from adams phone.

adam plugs one of the earphones in his ear, the other to his gf s ear.

adam can only hear drum and vocal, his gf can only hear guitar and bass.

or simply,

adam is a war veteran who lost an ear in a fight.

whats stupid with this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] normpang:
you can always re-record the music in mono....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wasimraja_1982:
Awesome work. Its like its a totally different phone now thanks to all the Devs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hurray:
Perhaps the app "Quick Settings" from the market is a solution for you. With this app you are able to set quickly all volumes (system, media, alarm and so on....) to your desired value.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _JKay_:
Hi supercurio,

Will the 5 band eq you implement also work for the FM radio?

I hope so because now the bass is too loud using my standard SGS headphones :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Oh that's a nice idea, and actually pretty easy to implement.

I add this for the next version !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Yes there are plenty of case when forcing mono output by blending both channel is useful.

The girlfriend scenario, a broken speaker on stereo, people who lost usage of one eardrum.

And best of all the implementation is easy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Yes, I'll make sure hardware EQ is also applied on FM radio.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] betoNL:
OMG

Never heard about a splitter?

So Adam and Eve can both enjoy stereo sound each plug his own headset in the same phone :D

1 phone 1 splitter 2 headsets duh

@supercurio

Hello. This is i think the best improvement i've seen in a while on this phone and is all thanks to you . Thanks for making the phone and bringing it's potential the best as should have been from the moment it entered the phone market industry.

Lagfix voodoo sensational but with the sound fix you've beat yourself with it . It is purely a very big difference from the stock EQ.

Thanks again François. Have a pleasant night.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] android53:
Any news on the static pop issue? Driving me mad!

It can't be a hardware fault as on eclair its just fine...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] intel9014:
I observe the same thing. Static pops every few secs. Using GT i9000, JPY, Voodoo stable 5.1.

Other than that, the sound settings with Voodoo sound ROCK now!!

Keep up the good work!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] davuccio:
hello to all,

i would like to use this new awesome driver implemented already in the "hardcore's" speedmod kernel (as far as i understood), but:

i cannot download "Voodoo app" from the Market (well, actually i cannot download anything because of some unknown problem of the market) so i kindly ask all of you to help me finding the .apk file (relative to voodoo app) to download via Kies into my SGS...

unfortunately i'm one of the unlucky guys with "market" problems.

thank to all

@supecurio

You really saved my ears with this patch!

I like to use in-ears and, in quiet environments, even digital volume level 1 is too loud 4 me! I had previously resorted to music apps that have a sw equalizer and/or preamp slider like PowerAMP, but your solution is much more flexible!

Here's my contribution, enjoy!

9V025942GH139114C
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Yes, I made already progress on the case (disabling timing on printk).

I'll try also a more extreme solution (disabling all printk) for people who have strong issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hi !

I added an http download link for the app. Downloading from market is still recommended.

It was also a request from a user in China, a lot of countries still don't have access to market and that's too bad!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Thanks a lot :)

And you have also a much higher quality when reducing the Analog gain, compared to the digital slider, because for most headphones it reduces the hiss so low you cannot perceive it anymore ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Thanks ! :)

Next update will include the much awaited microphone hardware auto-gain, which is already 75% implemented.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] crudelios:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xbeater:
So just another question:

I am planning on getting some nice headphones sometime soon, as soon as this popping issue is fixed, and I would like to get someadvice on what to get. Anybody have some suggestions?

Supercurio, from your experience with the sound tweaks, what headphones could you reccomend for around 50 bucks? (or just anything in a reasonable range of about 40 euros). What headphones will work beautifully with your sound tweaks?

Thanks,

Cheerz, :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xbeater:
Furthermore I just saw that your paypal is in dollars, and unfortunately I pay in euros, which is not a big deal except that paypal's euro-dollar exchange rate is terrible and you will be able to buy less beer/wine. So uh, do you have a account I can donate euros to?

:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:

ASTRO

ASTRO file manager,

if you click menu, and then tools you can go to an app manager. From there I just backup the selected apps, which end up in a folder "backups" -> "apps" on the internal SD card as an APK... kinda cheap workaround and perhaps better ways but I just use this anyways. Surprising how few people know this... its how I got a friend to DL skype for me in a dutch market and send it to me via email, since my arabic market here is entirely locked down and so many missing apps.... I never came across anybody in forums using this as a solution... surprisingly. ASTRO does come up with some strange names though... for some reason it gives file names this strange touch, I don't know what the story is behind that, but I've had a game (awesome lets not forget) "pastel invasion" come out as "Pork.Giraffe.apk"..... :rolleyes:

anyways,

Enjoy kiddo!

How do l use this??

You know what l'd donate for? Actual clear instructions on how to install this kernel. I'm left with a zip file and a READ ME full of gibberish. How about telling us step by step how to get this working on our phone and maybe a lot more people would consider donating and make your time more worth while.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Actually if your phone is already "rooted", the easiest option is to use the "SGS Kernel flasher" application available in market, and then apply the custom kernel to your phone.

I will work also on an easier setup method that do the work for you (with detection of supported models, etc)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xbeater:
Ahaha kiddo don't worry there is a very beautiful guide on the website already.

Here a link to the document straight:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BpoZycEkNHDr28bkUb1KdJy2xdQ7ZDowpHVMGpXheGc/edit?pli=1#heading=h.wxoh8t-o4kkuo

Look for the part that details how to flash with ODIN, its probably the easiest method.

I know it looks hard, but its actually really easy, don't stress over it.

After that you just install the Voodoo App from the market and your all set.

I hope this helps!

Cheerz, :cool:

EDIT: Looks like supercurio beat me to it, although his method is different. does look easier, but you need root, for ODIN you don't. (not taking credit away from him ok? He still made the ODIN method in the first place, im just mentioning it)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Thanks for your message, I added the direct link to the community page in first post ;)

Sennheiser PX-100 or Koss Porta Pro. You will not get better Headphones for the price.

Note - Both models are an open design, so if you want isolation they are not your choice. And then again...good luck finding a good pair of closed back headphones for 40 Euro (there are none).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] android53:
Update on the static pop issue:

It seems to happen less frequently on hardcore's latest kernel, try it!

Edit: starts happening again after turning wifi on and off though, strange
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] embrion:
I didn't read previous post so maybe someone already mentioned it.

"iPhone headset support" point doesn't look to be software fixable to me BUT:

Apple/HTC/others(?) use different 3,5" 4pin jack layout than Samsung (at lest newer ones like Galaxy S and Wave) and Nokia.

First two pins are common to both groups (audio channels) but then there's a difference between order of GND and MIC/button pins.

So the only problem is to switch those two pins by destroying headphones cable (don't like it) or make proper adapter. That's all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dopedangel:
Any one else hear any difference using DLNA I feel the sound is better but I am not an audiophile so I am not sure if its true.

PowerAMP, lower volume with preamp now with Voodoo

Hi!

I've always liked to use PowerAMP with PreAMP for massive bass-boost. Now that I updated to the newest Hardcore SpeedMod Kernel (N) with Voodoo sound v.1, there surely is a noticeable decrease in volume.

I used to use AudioBoost v.2 before, with volume level up to 62 (98 %) and that was a good combination for both volume+good bass. With Voodoo at the same sound level and PowerAMP Preamp level, I have to lift the media level in Android settings almost to full for the same desired level I got used to with AudioBoost. Is there a way to get more out of the Voodoo sound?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fullerms:
I'm using poweramp with the Voodoo fix and app, getting good results with the following settings.

Android settings full, Poweramp preamp set to flat. I adjust volume using the voodoo app slider. Maybe you could try these settings?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chainer1:
@embrion

I got one of these adapters from kvconnection and connected an iphone headset with my phone. I can switch the tracks forward and backward. Play and Pause works, the microphone also works with calls, but the volume up and down buttons don't work for me. I wonder if this could be fixed with software. Also when switching tracks it is really difficult to go back one song (tripple-klick) because you have to get the exact timing when pressing the button. Most of the time it just pauses the track or goes one forward. It would be interesting to have an option of setting the delay between the button presses.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bitstra:
Hi All,

First of all, my Mile Grazie to SC for his great work! - Now my little tip for all of You who want to use their Iphone in ear headsets with the galaxy i9000 audio out. I've found that, when i press the iphone headset-mic-button, the sound with these pices is very, very great. the changed mic/button - GND issue by apple is now no more problem with my Iphone earphones! - So they can used for hearing cristalclear music/sound with the galaxy. (I've taped the mic-button permanently.) Hope someone can confirm that. bye
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jonni3:
Beautiful headphones for €40, kinda hard, what type of headphones you looking for in-ear or over-ear ?

I found the over-ear Goldring DR100 Dynamic High Fidelity Headphones for €30.99

Or if you prefer in-ear there are the AKG K 321 In-Ear Headphones for €31.99 - €33.99

These are from play.com just copy & paste the blue text in to the play.com search box, for some reason the direct links to the items wouldn't work :confused:

These are just 2 of the €40 budget headphones I found, there are more around.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] embrion:
Yeah, I know kvconnection but the adapter you're writing about cost 10-20$ + shipping while 4 pin Nokia audio adapters (should be working out of the box) cost 0.99$ with shipping to Europe from China (eBay). I'm waiting for mine to arrive (about 2 more weeks of waiting) and will report back.

Oh, and about Vol control buttons. Don't count on it as it is something Apple did outside of the standard. Even older (3G for sure) iPhones doesn't support it. PowerAMP player is best for some and it does have author who listens to requests. I know there's already some support for multi clicks but I don't think you can adjust timing (yet). I'm more interested in "press and hold" feature to skip folders/albums.

Nothing new, see my post. By pressing this button you probably just short GND+MIC pins and make it one big GND pin so it starts to work just like ordinary 3pin headphones. The problem is you end up with not working remote and mic.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Keligs:

SuperCurio, I appologize in advance if I missed this.

I see the app controls the gain levels on hardware level.

Is there a list of other changes you've made in the voodoo sound fix?

EDIT: After installing a kernel with your drivers... The sound has improved tremendously. Very flat response. Bravo!

This takes me back to when I competed in IASCA, which reminds me that I still should have my real-time analyzer sitting around (Behringer DSP8024)....maybe I'll throw it on there and and see how flat of a response I can get out of this phone.

To my ears, It sounds but can't wait to get my hands on your EQ..... Then I can REALLY have some fun!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
:) Also I would be very interested by users RMAA measurement of their phone, at volume 60 <-> 62.

If you are an audiophile, spend a bit more and get the Etymotic Er6. Can't speak highly enough about the value for money with these. Great isolation, sound quality comparable with hardware costing many times more.

Not the Er6i though, they are not as good, and you don't need the extra sensitivity they give thanks to supercurio's work :)
