Are you on XWKE2?
Its driving me nuts seeing this topic repeatedly posted with no real answer if all owners experience it, or if the volume codes fix the issue.
I have the same volume issues with headphones connected and answering calls... can barely hear anything while on subway etc...
Hopefully the voodoo sound feature will be ported to SGS II soon...

I'm on KE1
yes, anytime I am in a mall or anywhere will back ground wind... it is very hard to hear the other person....
on a side not, kies keeps telling me there is an update available... each time I run it, I get some dll error... hence me browsing the forums right now!
Is this a third firmware update?
I have the same issue. Can't hear anything with headphones and without them the sound is very muffled, as if there is no treble. My N95 could go so loud that it hurt!
I'm on XWKE2. Any suggestions?

[hey, when i press [5] audio then there is no option but there is caution menu being blocked. plz help
Hi, this is my first post. I have similar issue. I have no problem in a room with low noise but when I'm outside or in a noisy room I barely hear the voice.
if the problem only with headphones then try using Voodoo Louder from the android market. that worked for me. i never had any problem with the headset volume on my sgs2.

Solution found
My phone is unlocked[T- mobile galaxy s 2], I Have tried every GSM carrier[att pre paid, t- mobile pre paid,h20, Simple mobile, Real att, real t- mobile. (by real I mean contract) , Thought was network issues. It wasn't. Well, I gave up. Called Samsung and shipped my phone for repair. They were quick. from shipment to repair took less than own week and half. UPS second day ship and UPS second receive that four days plus three days repair. Well, the issue is gone!. They fixed the problem. What they did was raise all the sound volume Bars by default to 100 percent. I can tell this by going via volume settings. Now I'm scared of trying Any Rom coz I don't want to lose this settings. My phone was shipped back with original stock rom. Unrooted. Just rooted back. that's how far I'm willing to go , But then again ICS rom is spitting distance based on the news on my hears. don't know what to do. I hope Samsung can Distribute THIS ics ROM . with default volume up. Or hope xda can send a memo to their rom agents to default volume up. Its 20 million users out there in the galaxy two world. Crying for help. with this particular problem. Yes it's not hardware problem . its software problem. Proven.
Hi,
I really hope i dont have a faulty device, but the sound through my headphones (which have been working a day before on my beloved htc hero perfectly) is rather week, 75% maybe of the top volume i could reach on my hero.
I've already tried this in the default music app, and also on Jango Radio (internet music app).
the sound is rather week and also kind of not crystal clear.
is anybody else having this problem? and what can i do about it?
thanks alo!
Yes, actually I have the same thing, and I think a software problem with the music player, it stops when I raise the volume or when i press on the 5.1 ch icon or sometimes on it's own

k?
thanks!
Working fine!!
I've been using other earphones, but when i tried the one coming with the phone......blast!!!! that's y it was giving me problems!
Super dooper!!
sorry SGS II i underestimated u!!
Definitely the best phone ever up till now
I also noticed really bad quality with the stock headset.. After trying with the headphones from an iPod, the sound quality was much better.. So i guess the problem is really the stock headset.
The stock headphones are pretty bad. I don't get low volume. In fact, I get large amounts of distortion on higher volumes when using headphones. The sound quality is poor, but after tweaking with an EQ (PowerAMP!) it can be some-what salvaged.
There are also options in music player itself (equaliser and effects). For me it is sufficient to improve quality to desired level.
Is audio level & quality same as galaxy S
I am confused between Galaxy sII & xperia neo. I am shifting from Galaxy S, I got the phone refunded from samsung before this I have a wave, that also was refunded by samsung. Its obvious that I am a bit afraid going for samsung this time but still feel they are the best. I got this info from research that Galaxy SII doesn't have a good audio quality in comparison with the legendry Galaxy S. I can't afford to take risk for a 30K phone if it doesn't play good music because carrying an Ipod is virtually impossible if u already have S II in ur pocket. Thats the reason I have narrowed down to galaxy S II or Xperia Neo. But I need to confirm if its not even to galaxy s level in terms of audio quality and volume levels, plz help me folks, I am waiting for some helping replies and plz don't blind fold urself being loyal to ur device becoz my respect for Samsung is immortal, its just that I can't spend 30K blindly. I will have to consider the music segment.

Just do a fine tuning on your volume settings with the 'Samsung Secret Codes'
See this thread for guidance: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069015
Although for hearing music I had no problems, it was necessary for me to boost the headset volume for voice calls.
oh common, stop with this volume settings with Samsung secret codes, that has been posted by many here that this thing doesn't work. The numbers are re setting themselves back to original. The overall volume is just too low on this phone. I hope the 2.3.4. will adjust it higher.
Highly recommended:
To get clear sound from your Galaxy S II, simply install the free version of the brilliant "Equalizer"-app from Market. It has a five-band equalizer. From there you can increase the levels of the desired frequencies, treble, bass, midrange etc. The Galaxy S II has far to low default treble. This app takes care of that No root, no hassle.
There is also a paid version, but it is just needed if you want more than one custom preset.
But What about the levels of volume? Is it at par with the old Galaxy S?

Well, I'm sorry for your insoluble problem, but I effectively fixed my volume problem in a permanent way (with various reboots with unchanged config after tweaking) using these codes.
I do apologise for my useless advice. I was only trying to help.
I hope you find a solution for your problems soon.

Actually, I've solved my volume problems following the guide of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741012 . and not the other one that I mentioned above. Unfortunately, it seems that it applies only for voice and video call volume, not for the media player. That said, I have to say that my music player is very loud, either using the headset or the speaker. I'm using the KE7 stock ROM.
Best of luck for you all guys.
the link you provide is for the old Galaxy S1, and even there guys complain about low level of EAR SPEAKER, and that the tweaked numbers reverse back to original after phone restart or re boot. So my question is: how did you make the new numbers to stay on your phone? I am using same KE7 and stock firmware as well. I can't raise the volume by these codes at all, doesnt stay not even 2 phone calls. Can you reveal the magic how did you do it? ( no offense to you at all, I am just helpless because I can't barely hear people calling me, driving in my car - Mercedes btw...)
Thank you for your help
Most stores (in Sweden anyway) have the phone so you can try it yourself, just go to a shop where either a manager carries it or the store has a demo of it and bring your headphones! You can't go wrong with that!
I have a really nice piece of Denon's (AH-D1001) and even though the phone can't power as well as the older galaxy s, I get a really natural good sound with mine and it's just loud enough. No EQ needed.

Yes, the original thread was for the ancient SGS1, nevertheless, the command still works for the SGS2 (at least for my device). Before I did the 'fine tuning' on my volume settings (following the SGS1 guide on the mentioned thread), I could barely hear the other person's voice in a phone call while using the headset. Now I adjust the volume around 70-75% for making phone calls using the headset, which is more than enough for me. I didn't do anything different than the guide says, and I have no idea why it doesn't work for your device.
As my signature shows, I have a north American S3 running Stock ICS Rom/Kernel and am now running a OTG USB cable out of my S3 and into a DAC (UCA222). (DAC Headphones out or line outs to my stereo.
It works.
I get the occasional Skipping thing happening which I assume is a digital handshake burp of sorts.
THE BIGGER PROBLEM...
If while listening to music (powerAmp or YouTube or Songza etc.) I get a phone call, the audio goes nuts!!! It does the skipping thing but does not cease unless I end the call. Same with outgoing calls.
So "is there anybody out there" with a similar setup who can share with me:
- a fix or workaround
- an alternative
- or just tell me you have the same issue so that I know it's not just my gear.
Reason for wanting this new arrangement, is to use it with my new CraigsDock for the car and not having to manually plugin any cords. Also, Analogue out of the USB jack, when tested in the past, introduces machine noise and distortion WHILE CHARGING. (not just a simple ground loop issue)
Thanks in Advance
If you have a "north American" i9300, then the chances are it isn't a i9300 and you are in the wrong forum and risk bricking your phone if you flash anything here
Actually yes your right, wrong forum. If moderators wish to move it, please do so. I still wouldn't mind hearing from I9300 users but I'm not interested in rom flashing. Wouldn't mind just getting some general feedback on DAC alternatives etc. if anyone has a working happy setup.
Previous thread was posted in GT-i9305 forum by mistake. I can't delete it. Please disregard it.
Hello;
I know the Koss Porta Pro KTC is designed for iPhone, and this isn't a thread about getting the volume buttons to work, although if anyone knows of a way that wouldn't involve chopping the headset up, I'm all ears.
My question more closely regards some strange behaviour I've noticed when trying to use it to answer calls. If I use the button on the headset itself, it'll answer the call, but use the microphone on the phone for the duration of the call. I then need to remove the headphones and plug them back in to reset the configuration.
If I answer the call by swiping the screen, I can use the microphone on the headset just fine.
Somehow, for some reason, the configuration's become switched round and it's making me miserable.
Specs:
Galaxy S3 GT-i9300
Android 4.1.2 XXELLA
ClockWorkMod 2.5.1.2
I must be running a ROM, since I can get superSU working, but I used one of those "hurp durp root ur phone in 3 steps" guides so I'm not entirely sure what I used. I'm not very smart with this stuff but I'm not looking to step on any toes.
If anyone knows how I can sort this out, I'd appreciate it.
Hi everyone I having some issue with the Sound on my Mega 6.3
Issue: when ever I lower down the volume of my Mega, the sound start buzzing and crackling, if I use a headset, then I can only get sound in the right headset and its crackling
What I have done?: I tried almost every rom listed her in XDA for samsung mega GT-I9200, I replace my loud speaker thinking that it was a hardware issue. I return to the original rom using Samsung Kies, none of this work.
when the issue started?: since i install CM11 on my device, it was working for a week just fine, and then start giving me that issue .
I search on google and the LG G2 have this same issue and also the Nexus 7 after they get the kitkat update
Please anyone that know the fix for this one please help :crying:
