Something Similar to Voodoo Sound Exists? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Coming from a SGS, having Voodoo Sound makes my SGS sound amazing. I've read that SGS2 is a disappointment when it comes to sound quality so I'm wondering here, aside from the Equalizer app, is there a way to get the sound quality to be similar to that of Voodoo Sound?

There nothing similar to voodoo sound.
However, PowerAmp will blow your mind away with its sound quality. That amazing music player produces the best sound quality ever and has made me forgive my galaxy SII ever since I got it.

Hey,
Is there anyone here that came from a Samsung Galaxy S variant using Voodoo sound? If so, how does the sound on the Atrix compare?
I came from a Cappy with voodoo sound and one of the first things I actually did was hook up my S4's to it to compare. I feel that it is equivalent to voodoo sound especially in volume when I play it through my car speakers. On my S4's the sound is very full bodied and doesn't feel like it's leaving anything out of songs I know like the back of my hand. I found the Inspire audio to sound like crap to be honest, it was really quiet compared to the Cappy and the Atrix. Not saying I'm a pro at analyzing audio but I am pretty picky about it and it passes my tests with flying colors.
I prefer the Atrix over the cappy sound. I like the sound effects you can put the atrix in for the regular phone speaker, the cappy was limited to 5.1 only when plugged in to something.
That's good to hear. That was probably the biggest thing holding me back from buying the atrix.

You're using good quality files and nice headphones I assume?
If so, I don't know that there are a whole lot of phones with better SQ than the s2. Have you tried poweramp from the market as your app? It has some a pretty good EQ so you can tweak. What's wrong with the sound? Tinny? Bass is distorted?
Hmm... I'm not sure with your s2. But my nexus s is really fine.. because of the high quality stock earphone, Google music (great EQ), and wolfson sound chips (best in the world), and my 320kbps mp3 or loseless format music, it just give me great sound.
I think your problem is you are using low bitrate of mp3. Try to get something around 320kbps will be fine.

Sgs1 is great with voodoo, much better sound than sgs 2

[Q] Poor sound quality playback on S2?

I've noticed the past few times that i've been recording at events like night clubs, the playback would always be really messy and alot of broken bass sounds. I uploaded a youtube video to show you what I mean. I've compared this to the iPhone 4s and the iphone has no broken bass and it really clear, just wondering if anyone had any experience with this problem and what solutions can be done
s2 sound is bad in nature. Try to record with lgcamera app, you can change sound settings more than stock camera app, or look for the modified camera apk in this forum.
SGS2 does not play well at the low end of the spectrum
You want distorted bass try one of the many sound fixes posted on XDA .

Buy an iPhone 4S (Yes you asked for this because you mentioned/compared the iPhone on a forum devoted to the SGS2)
I agree with you, the Samsung Galaxy S2 has bad/poor sound quality, even much worse than Nokia N82, for example. You can note it when using phone's speakers. This is one of the worst things the SGS2 has.
Why would you want to record night clubs? Shouldn't you be grinding?

[Q] will the wolfson DAC give better sound than other DAC

hey guys i am just curious will the wolfson DAC give a better sound quality while listening to music over bluetooth than phones with other DACs like the galaxy note
i'm not really an expert on this. But from what i've read and gathered, the wolfson chip used in the International S3 is of extremely high quality. Its supposed to produce some really good sound. Better sound than the S2 and the Note.
Theres a whole thread dedicated to the sound quality. The only 'issue' i've seen is some people saying the volumes too low, but theres already a mod and everybodys waiting on "Voodoo" sound which is supposed to make it even more kick ass

Answer: no!
The internal dac is not used when you use a bluetooth headset

s3 sound record

hello there
before my new s3, I owned an i9000, it had a slow cpu but the microphone recorder was great. nice and clear, no complaints.
the s3 on the other hand sounds like a cheap dictaphone with codec artefacts, hiss and dynamic compression, not good.
has anyone found a fix to bypass all this processing so we can record directly into a HQ wav recorder untouched? ? if not, I need to sell my new S3 and buy an i9000 again, as i need it for sound recording interviews, things like that, with a password protect, the i9000 was perfect for this, but very slow cpu. I hear the s4 and s2 are not great either for sound recording compared to the s1.
just found that the s3 has a Wolfson WM1811 the s1 has a Wolfson WM8994E. maybe this is the issue for the input quality?
thanks for help : )
