Hi everyone, I have a galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) upgraded to android 4.0.3, and whenever I enable the 5.1 surround sound in the native music player, the song I'm listening to becomes distorted; it slows down and sounds weird.
I think it did work once, but since then its never worked with any mp3 file, regardless of size. I haven't tested it on other formats, because I mainly use mp3 for music etc.
I've googled like mad to try and find an answer as to why this happens.....but I can't find a solution.
Equaliser and sound effects are all set to normal, but it still sounds really distorted when 5.1 is enabled. Without 5.1 it sounds great (I did the Beats Audio hack a few days ago).
Oh and I've tried several different headphones to no avail...
Any ideas why this happens? And how I could fix it?
Same here!
Hello,
Before the ICS upgrade my 5.1 music was as pleasant as it could get. I tried using this effect in my car last weekend and yes, it is very distorted. Did you manage to fix it?

update
Did you try to contact the Samsung service desk?
you need to get back to the service centre I guess. I had the same issue when it was updated via kies. Samsung reloaded the OS for me and its good to go now , except for heating issues which I threw away their stock kernel and went for speedmod

It works and it works like magic!
Ha ha......yeah. I switched off the phone and removed the batter to check the serial number so that I can register it for servicing.
Later, switched on the phone and it just works fine!
Chaps, try this and let me know if it helps.

There is some issue with ICS 4.0.3 for india update i guess, u need to restart the phone to get off with the error. Once restarted 5.1 effect works fine.
I just want to know if it could be some hardware fault.

Hello, I have a problem with the bluetooth of the Samsung galaxy S2. It's connects correctly to all devices, and for example, when it's connected to the bluetooth of my car, and I play music, the music stops and plays intermittently with all the music programs that I have tried. It's strange because when I am using the bluetooth for hands-free talking it's works perfectly. I dont Know if maybe exists and update of the firmware of the bluetooth.
I have this specifiactions:
Android Version: 2.3.3
I9100XXKDJ
GINGERVREAD.XWKE2
Thank you!!!
I had this problem also but it hasn't done it for a long time, don't know what else to tell you?
Goodluck

Hello NIK516,
Thanks for answering. Did you do something? I understand that know you don't have the problem.
Hi,
I'm experiencing the same "feature". Let the phone play its hiccup game for a couple of times and it will play just fine after a minute or so. I only figured this out while testing the GPS capability and wanted to get voice instructions over BT as well. First I had the play...pause...play....pause - loop, but after a minute or so all was fine.
Update: I just went down to my car to confirm "the minute". Guess what it was playing perfectly fine and my radio was even showing mp3 tags which it didn't before with my HTC Desire.
So, what did I change in between:
- stopped WiFi sharing using the task manager
- bonded my Asus G53JW to the phone in order to try Kies via BT

I have been listening to music with SE MW 600 Bluetooth headphone for weeks and I have yet to experience such a problem. Try a different ROM.

Hey guys,
Since I updated to the official KF3 update through KIES, I got the exact same thing with stuttering of sound when connecting to my Samsung Home cinema (through bluetooth).
Hope its fixed in the next firmware. Btw, anyone knows where I can report this bug at samsung? tnx
Problem Totally solved

I flashed 2.3.4 XXKG1 and I lost all settings, all apps etc.
I was lucky enough that I had made a CWM backup before BUT I wonder why I can't do this without losing my apps, data etc.
It's very weird because Kies is doing this to the latest firmware (which means that is 100% feasible) but it seems to me that it can't happen with earlier versions.
Any clues or directions are more than welcome.
No news on my post, bad news to my query...
AND still suffering from these unexplicable A2DP Bluetooth disconnects...
So I have option 1 to install 2.3.4 XXKG1 but lose all settings and almost 150 apps and spend I week to bring them back
and option 2 to swear 10 times a day that Bluetooth disconnects
Thank you Sammy, well done!
I just bought GS2 10 days ago. I installed Lite'ning rom 6.1. Now when I use earphone & watch any video in video player I am unable to use "5.1 Ch" option.
It says "5.1 channel sound effect only works in earphone mode only." But I have already plugged in earphones and I get good sound too. In original samsung rom I was albe to use 5.1 ch.
Another thing noticed was that I can use 5.1 ch when I play audio only.
Has anyone noticed that ???

I have noticed that too, but I don't have Litening on my phone anymore. I think that's bug in rom?
Is there any way to get it work or any patch available ?

Hello to all community... I encountered a problem with my phone.. 1 month ago i hard bricked my galaxy it was ok before the brick... i took it to assistance.. they told me that they changed all entire motherboard of the phone... today it returned home but.. i can't hear notification neither other audio playback such as music player that crashes and also video recording/playing crashes too.. i tested the speaker it works during calls while speaking.. but it doesn't rings.. i think it is a hw decoding problem.. the phone returned with the stock 2.3.6 android firmware. I tryied to flash different roms like stock ics and cm9 but they still have the same problem.. i also noticed that the phone is very laggy and slow.. sometimes it freezes for a few seconds.. i didn't tryied miui yet.. i also tryied flashing different kernels from check rom hd v6 without solving the problem... do i need to call assistance again? when i try to playback an audio or video file they freezes or returns me an error depends on application.. in mx video player by selecting sw decoder i can see video but cannot hear audio.. what do you think?
Sorry, but I can't even pick out a question in all this other than "what do you think". This is written in such a fashion that it ended up being incomprehensible to me.
If you are having issues, try a factory reset. If that doesn't help, flash back to a stock non-ICS firmware.
my problem is allways the same.. i can't hear notifications on every rom.. stock or not.. every multimedia player gives me an error or freezes while trying to play an audio file or a video..
does audio work with headphones and maybe try flashing voodoo.
no i can't hear nothing also with headphones.. what is voodoo?
EDIT: with headphones it's the same problem.. the phone doesn't notify me that headphones are connected.. i think he doesn't recognize them
REEDIT: why would i flash voodoo if i have a yamaha chip?
have you tried 3rd party audio apps
obviously.. i wrote it before.. they crash or freeze
However i took it to assistance again and they weren't able to solve the problem... they changed my main board again...

Removal will require flashing of a rom without beats add on .

Just re-flash GalaxyMOD - you won't need to wipe your phone (and it shouldn't wipe it automatically), but it will restore the original audio settings.
My mistake thought the rom had beats in it already as some have .

Thank you guys!
i will try that as soon as i am back from vacation ;-)
i ll let you know what happened.
thx!
meevil
so guys,
it worked! thank you so much!
But unfortunately I have another problem, which i had ever since I am on GalaxyMOD.
I dont wanna open a new thread, so hope you guys can help me with that here:
Every 3 to 5 times i turn on Wifi (either by toggle or in the settings) the wifi "turning on"-process freezes and a minute later the phone freezes. When i restart phone by long pressing the power button, its starts and wifi is turned on.
But as I said, this does happen every 3 to 5 times. So sometimes it works with no problem.
Any idea how to fix that?
thx

Installing 'Beats Audio' was the first thing i done after Rooting my Gs2 i9100, im not 100% possitive on how to do any of this stuff properly and i really dont want to ruin my phone..
Ok so once i installed Beats Audio using the 'CMW' app ive been having problems with my Camera (a black screen shows but im still able to take photos and view them) and with and Video i try to watch, either from my 'Gallery' or From 'Youtube' it still shows a black screen and just plays the sound. i dont know how to fix it and i really need help. this only happend to within the last 12 hours and ive been trying to find a way to fix it NoneStop!
I followed the steps on how to root my galaxy s2 from this site >> http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-i9100-icsandroid-4-0/ << and everything was working fine for me after i rooted it, but once ive installed the 'Beats Audio' zip file on my phone it just ruined my camera (i can still take photos fine but just cant see what im taking the photo of until i look in my Gallery) and videos (all i see is a black screen but plays sound only)
The beats audio Rom/Zip file name that i installed is "Beats_AudioLib Ultra Addon.zip"
can someone please help me and tell me step by step on how to Fix this problem i have?
Thanks

Hello,
Recently got my hands on a secondhand SGS2 and it seemed to work perfectly, except for the following;
There is no audio when recording a video or using the memorecorder! The mic seems to work fine since I have no problems with calling people, they can hear me just fine.
This was all with the stock ROM (4.1.2), so I thought it might be a software problem, rooted the phone and installed CM10.1. Still the same problem! So I went back to the stock ROM and while playing with the FM radio I noticed that when I press the record button in the FM radio there is no audio in the recorded file either!? I also tried playing the files back on my PC.
So to me, it seems like it's an encoder problem (is that even possible?).
I've also installed an app called igCamera to tried and change the mic options / encoding but that didn't make a difference either.
Any ideas on where to go from here? Anything else I can test?
Thanks!

I bought it from my sister-in-law for an extremely low price, so returning it is no option Besides, since I can make calls the hardware seems to be ok. Or is there another mic used when recording video?
Anyone? I've tried various testprogram's to test the microphone but they none of them can detect any sound! From what I understand the SGS2 has 2 microphones, can someone tell me if the second mic is only used for noisecancellation, or is it also used to record audio? If the same mic is used to make calls as for recording video then it must be a software problem I guess, but I have no clue how to solve this.. :silly:
