Hello world!
So, before having the Galaxy S 2, I had a Galaxy 3 i5801, and one of the innovative features that have appeared (IMO) was the "Voodoo Sound".
The developer "marcellusbe" (i think) made the port of "Voodoo Sound" for G3, which is now used in almost all custom kernels for this device.
With this, I'd like to know when this fantastic function will be developed for our Galaxy S II
Galaxy S2 lacks hardware specs for Voodoo sound.its not possible.

Are you sure?
So, the Galaxy S 2 (that is a highEnd quality phone) has worst sound hardware than the G3?

Cant compare it to the G3 but yes...the Yamaha chip doesnt output the sound quality as the original Galaxy S.
It lacks bass and gets distorted.
I as a SGS2 user, am satisfied using the in-ear earphones from Sony and Sennheiser CX180.
But when i use my Sony MDR V700 DJ headphones, there is absolutely no bass and the volume too is very very low.
i too am very much disappointed with the sound quality of the GS2.

I too hope voodoo sound will find its way on the SGS2! In the meantime (as with the SGS1) I developed AudioBoost for this device to have a more powerful output (I use it mostly attached to my car hifi)...and I think it works great coupled with PowerAmp player (the stock Samsung's one uses some ****ty equalizer which provides lots of distortions)!
So in my opinion the chip is not that bad (of course the other one was better, but less powerful), it just needs good equalization!

AudioBoost is available for galaxy S 2?
I want voodoo sound only to attached to my car hifi too.
On my old G3 I used the "headphone amplifier" option to increase dB without distortion to have more volume.
i can confirm that audioboost works really well with poweramp...even with stock headphones the sound is great using the above combination.

Care to explain? Voodoo Control "THIS ITEM IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR DEVICE"
If you want to improve your sound output, you can try dsp manager! There is thread for dsp on sgs2!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Any tips on improving sound recording as well?
Tried recording at a few concerts and it was utter crap (just like the sgs originally was before the voodoo improvements). Massive distortion and noise and crackling.
Such a shame from such a powerful device...

As someone explained few posts before, the SGS 2 Hardware does not support voodoo sound!
I heard rumors that supercurio is working on Voodoo sound for SGS2? Found nothing at github, but is it true?

No, he has released an app that raises the volume, no voodoo sound as the dac is different.

The guys over at the desire hd forum section have come up with a custom rom for the device made out of a leaked ruu from the unreleased HTC Runnymede. The rom has one feature that will certainly be very desirable in the next couple of weeks, Beats Audio. Now as i understand, the beats integration should be mostly software(like the beats audio laptops from HP). SO, the question is that can it be soft ported to the SGSII?
p.s. oh and if im in the wrong section, do tell
BTW, HTC Sensation XE is another beats audio device(can be used as anothet source!)
Fantastic idea. Would love to see this at our sgs2.
Maybe you could contact the vodoo developer. It think it's supercio. He's is very friendly.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Although he is a very friendly person indeed, I doubt that he'll start implementing this for SGS2. The reason is the same as for the lack of Voodoo Sound feature, a different and a bit less efficient sound chip used in SGS2 (The original SGS has Wolfson WM8994 and Samsung replaced it with Yamaha MC-1N2 in SGS2). I'd see it more likely for the original SGS :-/
people telling Cyanogen much better
oh and The Galaxy S II uses audio hardware manufactured and branded by Yamaha
Doesnt matter who made the hardware.. Do you think they put monster equipment in all hp laptops? As with all such marketing gimmicks, this has to be software based tweaks and heaven knows we need better audio output
great idea !! anyone tried it on other hardware ?? is it working with monster beats without pilot or it neets to be with pilot edition ?? and will there work monster beats with pilot (iphone edition) i mean as i know ther is diffrent polarisation in jacks... so we need to wait for new editions of earphones ??
Im supporting this yeahh.. must admit that the audio output ftom sgs2 is weak indeed.. my old htc desire sounds better even with cheaper earphones... and i really dont like the 'fakeness bass sound' in SGS2
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
(UNRELATED QUESTION) i just recalled another feature in our phones that needed some usage, fm transmission. I read somewhere on xda before launch that the broadcom chipset inside had nnot only BT 4.0 but also this capability. I for one, think that fm transmission is one killer feature

Not only that, but you'd think those developers would agree that since audio on the SGS2 is actually worse, the need for such software is even greater... I can't understand why they won't develop it where it's obviously most needed...

Put simply, the sound from the S2 is FLAT with hardly any bass. You may also hear regular interference like hissing sounds due to the phone's design.
Even simpler, the audio output of the S2 = horrible

do Beats Audio In ear tour work on galaxy ace??i mean do they work on any devices or needs supported devices like Sensation XE??
thx for your help +1
its an headphone why would it not work??
Are you looking to me?? i have an chinese ARMY !! (-(-(-.-)-)-)
its not just the headphone, its proprietary thingy htc put into the device itself.
personally i think its just marketing trick, maybe just some equalizer implementation, renamed as that "beats audio".
u can just install any equalizer from market and get similar effect, and maybe even better than beats audio.
take a look into our own chinese zckpa stock rom, it had louder audio volume compared to any other rom exist for us until now. its something chinese dev put into it to make it sound louder and better. its proof of similar thing can be achieve just in software (read:rom) level.

I've read somewhere that AOSP offers worse sound quality than Sammy ROMs.
Something about AOSP not having access to Samsung drivers, which is the general argument people give for camera quality comparisons as well. The sound chip is from Wolfson, not Samsung though, so wouldn't that mean the sound would remain the same?
My question is not about the volume being low, or using equalizers, but on overall audio quality and fidelity when listening to music (eg.). Is there an audible difference between the ROMs or do they play back the same?

Why would you use those on a cellphone though?
Other than that, I have personally not seen any difference in sound quality. I have however noticed a slight buzzing sound when you have a high level of volume and a system sound is reproduced. Since system sounds usually have about a 3-second playback time and only half of that is the actual sound, I can hear some of the 'static'. Doesn't bother me too much.
Well, thanks for the reply anyhow

Hi,
You asked there that "Will the Sauron mod be able to fully utilize the AKM dac/amp of the Axon 7?"
Have you got confirmation, because I didn't find answer there.
If yes, could you please tell us in few sentenses what is the benefits of this mod from audiophile point of view. Just because any Nougat ROM sounds greatly. Thanks.

Hi! I haven't got any answer yet but if I would describe the sound I would probably say that the bass is tighter and less "all over the place". The vocals are more detailed as in it's easier to hear things such as the singer slightly swallowing some air. The highs I'm not to sure about but I will say that the detail is really good without any fatigue. I just started using the mod yesterday so I'm not completely sure about the difference but the noticable thing are what I wrote above and that it generally sounds "better".
I compare this mod with my HD 598 and on Lineage OS. With and without the mod.
If you look at the third post, looks like there's a mod that includes DAC support. It's not available yet but it was edited two days ago saying "Soon"

Thanks for your reply. Actually I thought different things, mainly technical related feature why mod would make sound quality more clear, than the factory. Is there any DAC related parameter or else what can be set or change? Or anything else what you think can be useful to understand what is the benefit of this mod.

How do you know? It does something to sound at least because it doesn't sound the same without the mod. And also AudioFX doesn't effect the sound with the mod enabled.
Yes, it seems to change it. Still audio is the big disappointment for me on this phone. With my best iems I sometimes I prefer the sound of my tab s2...

I would really like some input on what the mod actually does as well.
One observation on what it does, apart from the subjective experience of how it sounds:
I was trying out new stock version B02 for G.
With sauron installed, and playing through USB Audio Player Pro with bit perfect checked (not sure if this makes a difference when only playing through phone...) there is no difference between ordinary sound and hi-fi sound in settings.
If I uninstall sauron there is a difference again.
With sauron it sounds like an improved version of the non hi-fi setting, which is good I think, since as the hi-fi setting mostly seem to make the sound a bit v shaped, with increased and bloated bass.
// And... When playing through tidal app, with S installed, there IS a difference between hi-fi setting and non hi-fi, and interestingly the difference is much larger than it is without sauron, like two different types of sound, and the non hi-fi sound closer to what you get with UAPP, but UAPP improves it a bit.

The point is: the files needed to make a difference in this modification are left untouched by these "tweaks".
The .so for AK, for example...
What it does we can do by just disable SoundFX under settings/apps.

For what purpose? Anything specific like music?
Poweramp works far better.
Maybe this... Neutralizer?

Neutralizer was an interesting sound curve learning tool but no longer use it. Poweramp has the only graphic equalizer in use on my phone.
Adapt sound is related to the Sound Alive app* on Samsung's. I don't use either; they use little resources if any so I leave them be. Both are proprietary to Samsung and likely need other Samsung software/firmware and/or hardware to function ie a Samsung phone.
Exactly what are you trying to do?
