Quiet sound on non stock headphones. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I have big problem.
When i had my S2 with stock roms all headphones work great for me, after flashing some romes sound on sony/creative headphones is quiet, but when I'am using original headphones(included in samsung s2 box) sound is good, can You tell me what is wrong? I can see, jack is different in this original samsung heaphones, because of microphone right? Can i do something to have good sound not only on original headphones? Thank You in advance
Sorry for my english...

Voodoo Control
You should try to install "voodoo control" from the market (is free)...it should improve sound quality, fix audio issues present in Samsung kernels and unleash the powerful hi-fi headphone amplifier included in your phone.
Just give it a try ...

Ok i solved this using perma,wipe and install rom again

Beats audio. Any thoughts?

I have installed Beats audio recently using CWM but i did not like it so i restored the original audio. The sound quality was held back not to cause distortion and on expensive devices such as Bose and Beats it sounded cheap with low bass. Now i use PowerAMP with stock audio engine SGSII which is quite awesome with the EQ tweaks.
What are your thoughts of Beats Audio?

Placebo.

Also it is not legal to put Beats Audio on any device as HTC wanted XDA to remove it as it would be property theft.

Beats audio works well with high end headphones like the ones sold by beats....well it should play well on expensive devices like Bose....but after all its just a port...beats audio was never designed for devices other than htc so it might cause some problems...or may be less good than the original beats audio found on htc phones
remove beats audio

i have DSP Manager bundled with Omega Black/Blue ICS...
Beats audio is only well integrated with HTC phones.
Even in the resurrection rom it doesnt really enhance quality.
Its just placebo effect. The max that you can do is get dsp manager thats all!

That's not true!
The Galaxy S2 has, in fact, terrible audio quality. This is due to poor quality hardware components (namely the Yamaha DAC).
There are two things you can do.
You can follow the advice of Kaffee4Eck and use voodoo louder, what won't help THAT much. Or you can get an external DAC (like the FiiO E7). This will give you superb sound quality, that no iPhone or HTC will get close to. However, you'll have to stick with CyanogenMod for it to work, it's less portable, because you'll have an additional device in your pocket and I'm not sure if you'll be pleased with it. I'm not sure because:
a) you've got beats and
b) you say that the problem is that they aren't "booming" like on you HTC.
I don't know you, so I can't tell, but too me it looks like you don't like sound quality, but pure bass. I cannot tell if the FiiO is good for that kind of job.
Thanks for advice Sniper i dont fancy paying £60 for additional device was hoping that there would have been a software mod worth trying

As mentioned earlier, voodoo louder. You just need the app on a compatible kernel.
The most importent thing - speakers. I love the original Samsung headphones!

Just gotta ask:
Have you ever used "real" headphones?
My phone good audio quality stock rom and any other rom .
Samsung stock phones .
Sound level on stock over 50% is to high .
Slight addition to a better quality is Volume Plus free old version app and a pair of
ViSang R02 in ear buds .

Try them until you find one that works and meets your audio needs

What is the best way to make the s2 sound quality better

After reading loads. I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the mods and stuff.
So can anyone examination what's the best way to make the sound quality better?
There's loads of bits from the voodoo side of things or the beats audio I'm not sure..
However I am a audiophile and would like the best sound and also more volume.
Thanks in advance

Voodoo Louder will give you up to 6dB more volume with headphones/headset, Voodoo Sound doesn't work with SGS2 as the Yamaha DAC isn't compatible with it. Best bet is to get a decent audio app with EQ/bass boost/widening/etc.
Other than that, a decent set of headphones/canalphones should make the sound 'acceptable' tho not as good as a phone with a Wolfson DAC like the Galaxy S (or so people say).
try some pro headphones
use voodoo louder
use dsp manager
I'll be buying voodoo louder tomorrow. I test the quality on a pair of sennheiser HD650s into a Neco Soundlab custom headphone amp so there's no issues there. :-D
So I take it that the beats audio mods don't work at all?

Some say Beats works well while others say it makes no difference at all. Could be a placebo effect but not sure. Read the Beats thread here on XDA's Gslaxy S2 forums or make a backup and then try for yourself

the beats audio mod is nothing but a equalizer setting
try power amp in my experience it gave the best audio quality

+1 for PowerAmp in terms of best audio quality. Better than the other apps I've tried. Also using Voodoo Louder which does not affect quality but does increase volume in headphones by 1.5, 3.0, or 6.0 decibels.

Hope this helps. Try DSP manager then Volume+ app.
HIT THANKS IF THIS HELPS YOU IN ANYWAY
Ok this is what I'm doing. On my neat rom I have installed beats audio and so far WOW I can actually hear the sound stage and the bass is way better. I will buy voodoo louder tomorrow and put it on the resurrection remix rom and see if I can indeed hear the difference.

Ok so I've ended up putting both voodoo louder and beats on both roms and they both compliment each other and now the music is amazing! So if you want good sound quality do that. It works for me

Meh I don't touch EQs or dsps because all your doing is coloring the audio I've found with beats and voodoo louder and my sennheiser mx500s when I'm out or HD650s when I'm indoors both are excellent

And Beats audio does what exactly ?
I have a marketing slogan for Beats audio:-
"Beats Audio - for people who can't tell the difference between a 32kbps MP3 & a FLAC with their ears !".

PowerAmp is the way to go, thx everyone, is IE6 good for the s2?

I use Beats, PowerAmp ( Flat EQ settings ), and extweaks ( to jack up the db on the headphone socket same process as vodoo louder I guess) and a pair of Sennheiser IE8 earphones which has a very nice 16ohm Independence

Better sound ? That's a matter of opinion. Beats Audio - For people whose ears can't tell the difference between a 30kbpsMP3 and a CD.

Exactly. My $300 Beats sound 10% better than my $15 Sony earphones
Want good sound? Get Bose or Sennheiser

Yes It will make it better and it will improve the sound of your BEATS not speaker but you can customize it using the appropriate app

Don't flash crappy ROMs. And yes, any ROM that has over two (in our case, three) tags in the title is crappy.
