When I'm in my car listening to music through my note I'm always having a problem with getting the most out of my car speakers
For example: (I have equalizers btw) ill dim the volume on the phone but raise the car volume
Sometimes its better or worse when you raise the phone volume all the way and handle it wig the car speakers
Although the lower the phone volume he more, "clear" from the speakers -but not as loud
SO WHAT DO U GUYS DO TO ADJUST YOUR MUSIC

Yup, that's the way to do it, maybe even 80-90%...unless of course you want to save more battery, then you'd lower the phone volume more

Max out volume on proamp, head unit eq on flat, tweak the eq on proamp, adjust the gain if sounds overdone. I've also set all proamp eq levels on max and its loud as hell

Just have a stock radio in car. No amps or anything but the stock is a decent unit for my needs. I turn the phone about 90% up then adjust from the car unit. Sound is always good for me. I'd say experiment and see what works for you. Don't forget to try an equalizer on and off from the phone. It's really a personal taste thing in my view.
I max out the volume on the note and adjust through the car speakers. I'm having to use an FM transmitter also, as my '05 doesn't have aux in. Still, it sounds great. Even better once i flashed the Beats eq.

In this case your phone is essentially a pure amp while your head unit is the power amp. Even at Max volume, your phone shouldn't be distorting the volume output. You want it all the way or nearly all the way up to allow as much headroom as possible for your power amp. You also don't want to re eq an eqd signal. Decide whether you like your phones or your stereos eq better, and set the other flat. You'll almost always have to tweak a bit further as line in mp3 will have different sound characteristics as a CD or the radio. Also, for the love of God, don't use 128kbps songs like most people.

The one thing I'm trying to figure out is engine noise.
Anyone else getting that or even know what I'm talking about?
if I have my phone plugged into my via head phone jack and nothing is playing on it, you hear a high pitch noise that fluctuates according to the rpms of the engine.
Would be awesome if there was an app to white noise it out or something, haven't checked though.

Do a search on 'inline noise suppressor'. This might help. You could also look at moving the radio's ground wire to a different location and might solve your noise.

After looking that up, I have determined that is not the solution for me. I'm dealing with a factory, stock car aux setup, it shouldn't be giving me problems and as a matter of fact my prior iPhone 3g didn't have this problem at all. I believe this happens with two cars that I've used it in, so while it is related to the car and specifically the engine's RPMs, I believe this can be fixed via the phone for the following reason:
When I push the back button on the phone while it's plugged in it will briefly silence the noise, also when I play Pandora the noise only appears between songs, and no it's not still there being covered up, I would be able to distinguish it in the music.
Anyway, hope someone had another fix for this. Could potentially be a hot selling app if you could figure it out.

what else has changed besides the phone? the charger perhaps? where do you keep your phone? do you keep your phone on it's charger while you listen to it via your stereo?
I run a satilite radio in my truck that runs through an aux line I installed and I get engine noise for a couple of reasons. My aux line isn't heavy duty and sits next to my firewall and effected by the EMI of my engine. The power cable isn't shielded and doesn't have any in line suppression so it's effect from the truck alternator, no matter how clean the signal is, varries as your engine's RPMs move. I run into the same issues with my phone, all of this is in a Sierra Denali truck with a Bose system and also occurrs in my BMW. So no matter how much you paid for a vehicle, it still can be a factor.
So try an inline noise suppressor, they're like $10 at radio shack and if it doesn't work take it back.
You'd be surprised of the effects electricity and EMI will do to your audio.

So idk if this is a cm7 thing on the SGS2 or if it's the phone itself, and but the volume is super loud. I have it at 1, and it's what I would normally listen to music at with headphones. 3 is about as loud as I'll go. I can't imagine going up to like 10 or something. Is this just me?

might actually be the headphones you are using. try using a pair with different amps, and see if the problem still persists.

Having the same problem with CM7 on my SG2. Volume at 1 is normal listening level with anything higher being too loud.
It's consistent using earbuds and headphones.
I have the same thing going on with my SGSII/CM7.2.0 RC0
It's not really a problem for me but it is odd. This is with a pair of iPod earbuds which I typically only use at the gym. Volume at level 3 is plenty loud. I'm sure the earbuds would blow at louder volumes alond with my ear drums. Anyway, the sound is still clear so I just keep the volume lower. As far as testing with something else, it's normal when I plug up to an auxiliary in on a small stereo at home. So, it must be the headphone/earbuds.
There's an app called anEq equalizer that some have been able to use to make the volume 'quieter'.
Seems it's an already noted issue with cyanogenmod. Hopefully it'll get fixed.

Using this app now and it does make it little quieter.
The app requires a service to run in the background to perform the task so it isn't ideal but will work fine till they fix it.

maybe its just me but it seems as though all that nasty noise associated with using the 3.5mm jack to external source has all but disappeared with the latest LF6 release.

You just gave me a reason to upgrade to LF6 , I'll test and post if I notice any difference.
The headphone hiss is gone for me with the stock ICS. It sure is nice to be able to listen to music at work again. I don't know how much of a difference it really makes, but I installed this too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752559 and everything is working great.
Still there in the Samsung Dock with the Line In. Its not noticeable with music playing through the phone.
Well I guess I spoke too soon. It's still there but alot less. It's tolerable now but still disappointing. Maybe its just my audio set up in the car... Oh well.

Make sure you don't have loudness cranked up to much on your car settongs or something similar to "gain" that usally makes my hissing noise go away.. don't want to over kill the volume spectrum.. I usally leave media volume like 90% on phone and use my volume crank on the other side?
Yeah. If I leave volume low on phone and then amp it up, then I get all sorts of noise. If I do the opposite, the noise isn't as bad as it was.

You could always get a bluetooth speakerphone with FM Modulator and transmit your music onto an availble FM station. Like a Plantronics K100. I used one until I put an aftermarket radio in my car. Worked well and broadcasted my callers audio over my speakers!

I can not get a good sound no matter what I do. I have always used power amp and never had a problem with sound. With my epic I always ran music thru my car stereo and it rocked. With this phone I got so mad today at how bad it sounded I just turned off.
I have tried every adjustment I could but no dice. It just sounds distorted no matter what I do. Do u think I have a defective one? Like I said my epic would rock and sounded so good so u would think this phone being the 3rd generation it would be better in sound quality also. I have tried the stock player to and it sounds worse.

Try the app from the play store called Volume+. I've used it only to modify the external speaker for better quality on other devices, but there are options to modify sound for the in call speaker & headset also. You'll want to select headset obviously as it just refers to audio out via the 3.5mm jack. I hope this helps you & your able to adjust the audio profile for better quality, as I've had success with this app, but I haven't used it on the gs3 yet?
I'll give that a try. I am also getting a buzzing at the beginning and around the
Middle of songs to. It's about a 1-2 s3 one buzz
Edit: just looked it up. Doesn't work on the Sprint version of the GS3 yet.

Ok, well there are other apps if you google search or search the play store & also look at the roms in your dev section & I will almost guarantee one of them has dsp manager or some sort of audio equalizer app included.
Now the buzzing noise is 95% one of two things. 1) The auxiliary outlet in your car stereo has an issue or it just gets a poor connection, this can happen sometimes in lower end after market head units or for other various reasons I'm sure.2) The auxiliary cable your using is causing it because of a short or because cheaper cables just get a ****ty connection & thus provide ****ty audio quality. Try buying a more expensive one and give it a shot as soon as you get to the parking lot, if the problem persists then you can walk right back in & tell them its not what you needed & get a refund. 3) Your phone has a bad 3.5mm jack. (This is possible, but probably the least likely)
Please report back what your results are after trying these few possible solutions. I think you'll have a viable fix here soon. I hope this helps out.
It's not a cheap deck lol it's Pioneer. The buzzing does it with the stock head phones and my after market jvc earbuds.
If I turn the volume up (headphones) halfway it's starts to sound distorted. With my epic I could rock the volume the whole way up with out any distortion.
I'm starting to wonder if it's the Jack. It's bad lol

I would take it back to Sprint it sounds like there is something wrong with the phone. Unless its the MP3 you are listening to is bad quality.

I am evaluating. Even if I keep it, it remains to be seen if I will move away from the Nexus community. Open source spoils ya and I'm not too happy on how its locked down, even if it can be worked around.
Re: Beats
It takes upgraded speakers to withstand the amp, IME. I have a laptop with 6 speakers and a sub inside and the amp inside the laptop even pushes them to the edge sometimes. I've actually come close to blowing out some cheap skullcandy over the ear headphones
I have also found that some music sounds a lot better with Beats turned off (although the amp still has a part in that).
Sorry, but Beats Audio over the built in speaker is totally pointless. It will not make a blind bit of difference. I'd recommend one of these and at least then you wiill get decent sound if portability is a problem.

a beats speaker could give higher quality audio and higher output sounds, its about the same size of an in ear... and no thanks, i was just wondering because this is my first time with an htc phone, and the commercials always made it seem as if dr dre actually used his speakers and not jus endorsed each other lol
I used Klipsch Image one and Klipsch M40's when I had my One X and would always, I mean always, turn off the equalizer because it would just make the sound muddy and drown out the speakers with bass. From what I understand, this is really just a software equalizer for the headphones.
Still never understood how audio quality and Dr. Dre = Monster branded Beats by Dre.

Unlike the One X, this has upgraded hardware too.
From HTC's press release:
Authentic Sound
The DROID DNA by HTC has a unique, 2.55-volt, built-in headset amplifier and dedicated amp for the external rear-speaker to help boost the audio signal to deliver crystal clear sound with less distortion, even at maximum volume. The combination of amplified hardware and the rich, authentic, studio-quality sound of Beats Audio™ allows music to be heard the way the artist intended, and enhances the sound quality while playing games or watching video.

Not that it's necessarily a big deal. All speakers are connected to an amplifier. It could be a 1 watt amp or a 2,000 but all speakers need a decent amount of juice to make power them, relative to other components.

I've tried. No difference...
I got the same thing. Whenever there's sound that comes through headphones, it sounds almost like white noise.

I'm not having this problem. Have you tried different headphones?
It actually might be the mp3 thats the issue.

Doesn't matter what format it is.
It actually makes white noise more if there pause between audio, it cuts out and comes back with white noise.
I am on my second DNA due to a dead pixel in the first one and both of mine have had noise no matter what I'm playing. Pandora tune in mp3. I don't notice really at all with music but talk radio is bad. Every time there is a pause in the conversation it gets loud. Even if I turn off beats. I have a decent pair of Sony buds that didn't do this on my nexus.

This is exactly what I'm getting. I called verizon and they authorized worry free exchange to a new one.
I noticed beats will cause static/popping if the volume is too low. I always have beats disabled its terrible.
I think I know why

Is anyone getting this? No matter what app I use, Netflix, Pandora, just internal music player/video player, I constantly get static noise out of my ear buds..
Should I be sending it back for an exchange?

I also hear the static. Doesn't happen with headphones but happens when I connect to headphone jack in my car. Static stops immediately when I turn on airplane mode. I think it has to do with the phone not properly shielded from its own signal. To explain why no static in my headphones is probably because it's a simpler circuit than inside my car. Inside car may have amplifiers and/or grounding that allows current (not sure exactly, just my guess)
Bottom line is, this appears to be an hardware issue, if more serious, design flaw. I sincerely hope I'm wrong.
The static you are hearing is due to the 4G LTE radios. Try putting your phone into airplane mode and listening to the music, it should be static free. Unfortunately this is just something we have to live with for now... The only ways around it are .. well with the music at high volume, its usually inaudible (the static), or if you don't use 4G LTE. I use Google music and when the music is cached to my phone, I don't hear static, but if I play a song I haven't played previously (uncached) then it makes noise..

I thought that's what it might be. The same thing occured with the cached/uncached music.

I exchanges my phone because of this reason but it sounds like it's a hardware issue. I have yet to try headphones on my new device.
It is really pissing me off as I stream all day at work.

I have the same. I believe that the amplifier is set to a fixed volume level on the analogue side. That trade-off would make the quality better when the full volume range is being used, but to do low volumes it has to reduce the volume digitally before it gets to the amp, which isn't a good quality way to do it. (a bit like if you have your mobile plugged into some speakers, if you turned the volume down really low on the phone you'd need to crank it to full on the speakers to compensate, and so you'd get some background hiss).
One fix would be to get some headphones with an analogue volume control in the cable, turn the volume to full on the phone then turn it down in the cable.

I'm also experiencing the low audio cut-off. Still seems to occur even with Beats disabled, just not nearly as bad. Same with the static; still persists without Beats, just not as badly. Same whether I'm in Airplane Mode or not.
Has anyone discovered a tweak/software that fixes this yet? Or is it a limitation of the hardware?
Same - usb audio maybe?
Same issue. I'm a sound engineer using dual-driver, custom molded, and very sensitive ear buds. I listen at low volume settings, set airplane mode. Completely unbearable noise, quiet parts will cut out completely, low frequency distortion. It's actually a little better with Beats enabled.
Supposedly this phone supports external USB audio - anyone tried it?

It works great, using E17 amp and UE reference IEMs, no static at all. :good:

I've had this issue with every android device I've owned, I think its something dealing with the OS and file format the song is in. Never had static issues on my IOS devices. Something we have to live with. Usually only hear the static when the music is paused or changing tracks and still at an audible volume.
