Stock headphones without bass? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Today I've noticed strange problem with my stock headphones...
In the morning I played music from my Grooveshark and there was like no bass, disorted sound. Tried it with PowerAMP, Ubermusic, Stock Player - same problem.
I reinstalled my MIUI nothing changed.
When I came to work I picked other headphones from my friend and everything is working great. Then I connected my headphones to his Galaxy S and.. it also works great!
Anyone has a solution for this? Yesterday it was working like a charm, and today it doesn't work only on my phone..
(I turned Equalizer off and nothing changed)
EDIT: I tested more songs, and it's like that some frequencies are missing..

Its been said before that the SGS2 is unable to reproduce the exaggerated distorted low end bass .

[Q] Bluetooth Headsets

Anyone else have a Sony DR-BT50?
I've got several headsets, and all of them work great with the gtab...some have more issues with sound being in sync with video than others, but they all work.
I just got a set of the BT50's today, and I can't seem to get them to work with video well at all. They don't seem to work with Playon at all.
Video from the web, like hulu or fox, you get sound, but it is severely broken.
I would think that maybe the headset is just bad, but music playback is perfect, crystal clear with no loss at all. I listened tunes for about an hour today and didn't drop once.
I'm running vegantab ginger rc1. I was on the kernel that came with the ROM, so I reflashed and loaded up the new pershoot kernel to try....no change.
Anyone else have that headset and have that issue? It's too bad, because they are some great sounding headphones.
My Motorola S9 bluetooth skips like a machine gun as well on the VEGAn-7.0.0-RC!-Harmony Mod. May try another newer Headset soon.

[Q] Sound issues with LG Optimus M!

So recently I bought an LG Optimus M from this guy on Craiglist. He used the phone for about 2 months, for basic things like calling, texting, and light web browsing. But suddenly one day the sound stopped working. I bought the phone for $30 since I want to use it as a wifi only device for music, apps, games, internet, and videos. The phone was on the default ROM with no user downloaded apps.
So when I got the phone, whenever I would adjust the ringer volume, the earpiece would start to make this weird hissing/vacuum noise. This would go on until the phone was restarted.
The speaker and mic don't work. Music and videos simply don't play any sound. Google voice search says no sound was heard. Using earphones (apple earphones with mic and remote) didn't help either, but I noticed the phone recognized when earphones were removed, by auto-pausing videos.
I thought it might be a kernel problem, so I rooted it and installed Cyanogen 7.1 (CM7). This didn't fix the problem.
After sometime though, I went to record a video. I opened it on the computer and noticed the sound recorded too o_o ! I then tested out my earphones, and well what do you know, they worked! Well, the left side was fine but the right side had really low volume. (they worked fine on other devices though). So something is weird about this phone.
After an hour the problem came back again. And I noticed something, there is a headset icon on the status bar, indicating that a headset is plugged in, yet I have nothing plugged in and no bluetooth devices connected.
Help? D: For the most part I at least want earphones to work on it ...

[Q] Annoying buzzing noises when playing music?

Whenever I play my music, I hear buzzing/squeaking/whistling sounds behind the song (theyre not that loud but still)... I hear it with and without headphones and with different players (stock, doubletwist, etc). Is my phone damaged? Is there a fix? Is it common for this to happen? Ive had this problem since i got the phone.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
(btw ive searched and could not find anything helpful)
do you have anything like dspmanager / equalizer on? I had a similar problem and it was caused by equalizer.
i had this problem when i flashed beats audio
but mine was louder
couldnt hear the song
just the buzzing noise
+1 to the problem with beats, reflash n remove equalizers of all kind and then see if its solved.
had the problem on stock rom using stock headphones...much less when using a different headset. used CM7 latr on and the problem was less...now it seems to be back..using GTR
Do u have beats or xloud in your rom
Mine has the same issue, stock rom. The buzz goes away when I use bluetooth headset.

Speakers not working?

Hi
Today, i was listening to some music, sound started lagging. Then suddenly, it disappeared. Now the speakers arent working anymore. I was on omega v6.0. and using default musicplayer, then I upgraded to omega 7.1. But the problem persisted! So i wiped data and cache, and installed the latest cyanogenmod 9 nightly. But the problem is still there :/
It's not that it aint playing any sound, but its really really really low, i have to put my phone up to my ear before i can hear anything.
If i plugin headsets, the sound is normal in the headsets, also, in calls, the sound is normal in the earpiece. Its only the speakers.
DSPmanager doesnt help, neither does Volume+
i think we have the same issue here .
any fix for it ?

[Q] Pls help! Earphone jack acting weird

Hi all,
I'm facing a really weird problem with my Z2. I use a pair of Creative EP-630s with my Z2 and PowerAmp as my music player app. Yesterday, while playing music, suddenly my earphones went silent. I thought the jack was loose, and tried pushing it hard into the phone output jack - doing which I noticed a split second of music output before it went silent again. I tried doing this a few more times with the same result and gave up. Later I tried the noise cancelling NC31 earphones which came with the phone and it started playing music normally. No problems whatsoever. I tried the EP-630 again, and I got the same split second audio and silence. I tried 2-3 other earphones on it, and all of them played split second audio and then went silent. However, the NC-31 is playing fine.
There is no problem with the EP630 as it is playing fine on my other phones. I tried restarting, leaving the phone off for a period and then turning it on, but to no avail. If it's a HW problem then the NC31 wouldn't have played. But it keeps playing fine! I know about the OMTP and CTIP jack standard thingie, but the thing is, the EP-630 payed absolutely fine for 2-3 months and it suddenly went silent. I can't take it to the Service, as I bought it without warranty. Any ideas? I'm pretty stumped.
I really don't like the sound output of the NC31, otherwise I'd have continued using it.
EDIT: I forgot to add, I'm using a D6503, unrooted with stock firmware on KitKat 4.4.4. The problem is the same with the Walkman player, Video player and VLC.
EDIT 2: I bit the bullet and performed a factory reset. It's working now, at least for the time being. How strange.
