[Q] Low sound - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
Im using this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903162
and the latest Dorimanx v 7,23 kernel.
The problem i have is that the sound out from spotify is very low, i have done the "hack" in "extweaks" to boost the sound levels and in all other programs (youtube, music player etc) the sound is quite high, but not in spotify.
I have tried to re-install the app but no difference is made.
Anyone have any idea of what the problem might be?

If it's only an issue with Spotify & volume is fine with every other app, what does logic tell you ?

Possible solution
Had this problem too, somebody else mentioned here as well. Found solution for me was to deactivating sound enhancements in dsp manager. Hope this works for you too

[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.

[Q] 30 Volume Steps Bug

Hello Everyone,
This is my first post in the Ace Sectio, Deal with it
I just rooted my phone, installed MIRACLE v4, installed Beats Audio...
and i have a problem...
If i watch a Commentary video (dont mind that with beats audio or without it) The Voice Commentary is Really Quiet, but the music is VERY LOUD! and i can't do anything with this, i think its the fault of the 30 Volume Steps, not of the video, cause on my PC and with other ROM its fine, and commentary isn't quiet... Oh and i installed DSP Manager too, but everything is the same
I'll link a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKJMljrIGuc&list=UUH-_hzb2ILSCo9ftVSnrCIQ&index=2&feature=plcp
Please Help me
Any Suggestions?
Don't change any setting on DSP..using Youtube app or some other streaming app?
And if you've a spare headphone, then try using that to check whether it's the headphone problem.
Using original YoutubeApp Downloaded from Play Store, Xperia x8 Headphones, so its not the problem of the headphones (Its working Quite Perfect on Other ROMS and even on other phones ) Did not set anything in Dsp manager, but i tried to set something, but it wasn't better...

At least check with another headphone will not hurt
if the problem persists undo the beats lib. or re-flash the ROM (no need to wipe if you're re-flashing on the same ROM,you won't get boot-loops) Can I know which beats did you flash? Several out here these days..
I tried 4 Types of B.Audio
And i just realized... The headphones aren't good to this phone, i have to buy a new one
Thanks for the help
And i just installed B.Audio, cause on maximum volume, it wont do weird sounds
maybe the beats audio mod is not compatible with DSP manager, like the case of SRS Trumedia mod?

[Q] CM9 Very Low Volume

After installing the latest CM9 built on my P7510 I noticed that the sound coming from either the speakers or the headphones is very low compared to the official ICS ROM. I tried to adjust it with the DSP Manager but I cannot bring it to the levels of the official ROM. This is a problem particularly when watching movies because even at maximum level the audio is low. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is the a fix? I use pershoot`s CM9 built of 29/09/20212.

lol ...... I have the opposite problem for ganbarou v1.0 as the volume seems to be too high even when I have it at lowest with my headphones which is why I use vodoo sound to decrese the sound while I listen to music. U an use vodoo sound to bring up the sound too beyond default Max ....... so yeah, just install it from play store and give it a try!

I've used an app called Volume+ but it distorts the sound. As for Voodoo, it says that the kernel should have a patch which allows its use but I am not sure if the kernel in CM9 supports that.

OK, I installed the Voodoo volume app and I managed to get a proper sound level. The strange thing though is that the DSP Manager already has this functionality installed but it does not affect the sound. The standalone app however works properly.

[Q] CM10 audio problems

I use the CM10 from Droid Basement and I have the following problems with audio:
1- When using headphones, minimum volume is too loud. When I increase the volume, it goes up only a few steps, and then stays on the same level until maximum volume on the slider.
2- When recording videos with the camera, only left channel of audio is recorded. It probably should merge both left and right since it's mono.
Anyone else having those problems? I work with audio and video a lot and this is a very annoying problem present since the first version I installed of this CM10.
I use P7500.
The first problem is an all around JB bug I think. I had it on AOSP, AOKP, and CM on my s2.

same issue here.... except my headphone volume is too low... the volume from speakers is actually great but when on headphones... harware keys dont work all the time and i have to use the on screen sliders. when i do thevolumes steps up once from really low to mediumand thats all i get...
as for recording, i havent experienced it.
******POTENTIAL WORKAROUND*******
you might want to try the A1 kernel as it includes VooDoo sound. that might work..
1. make sure you get the cm version. it works well for most but i cant get it work.... it freezes me up as soon as my homescreen loads. if you wanna try it.......
2.make sure you have pershoots 11/19 kernel on your sd card so you can flash back if you run into the same problem...
A1 Kernel READ CAREFULLY---- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833136
Pershoots 3.1.10 (11/19) Kernel ---- http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2906
good luck...report back =)
I am having the same issue. I tried installing beats audio, but it didn't change the volume problem, it did make the sound a little better though. I am hoping this issue is fixed in a later version of cm10.
Also, I am having an issue (i posted it in the forum with no response) of my lockscreen being stuck in landscape mode, even when auto rotate is on. Does anyone else have this same issue?

This has already been fixed in cm10.1 for tab 10.1 and is included in the nightlies.
My problem isn't the same as the OP, but title is the same: CM10 audio problems.
I would absolutely LOVE to use this ROM. I've tried cyanogen on many occasions and been very impressed. My only downfall with CM9 and CM10 was the audio. On CM9, my headphone volume would always reset to a low volume when a new song played. The only way I could find to fix this was via the DSP manager wm989 tab (or something similar) and changing the amplifier level, then changing it back. I never followed up to see if others were having the same problems, so I'm sure it is an issue that was already resolved. I eventually dumped the ROM for another because of the problem, BUT....I digress.
My current problem is on CM10. I love the clean look, I love the speed, the customization....EVERYTHING.....except the audio. I just noticed it a bit earlier while trying to play Youtube videos; the speaker volume was extremely low. I don't see any amplifier settings on the speaker tab of DSP manager. I have audio manager / Hide it pro installed, but all those volumes are at max. I went so far as to remove DSP manager from the system/app folder....but that did nothing useful that I can tell (aside from giving trebuchet a forced close). I installed Beats Audio, but that didn't help. I'm at a loss, and freely admit that I'm struggling to figure out how to resolve this. Would someone please assist? I'll gladly post logs if necessary.....just tell me how to post them. I really want this ROM to work, because it is almost perfect aside from this problem.

Unusual & Critical Issue with Phone Audio or Music

Hi Everyone,
I wish that I am posting it in right forums. If not, Please move it to suitable Forums.
I had this problem from the day I bought L9. That is, I faced this problem in Stock ROM, and now I am facing it on CM ROM too.
But, after Googling this problem, I think that this seems to be a very critical problem with all LG Optimus L9 Users, as all the given below Threads actually point to the same problem:
Audio problem headphones
Problem with music listening
Issue with music player
May be these people were not able to explain the problem very well, so I am posting it again. I wish that I would explain at my best.
Problem?
We know that there is a Safe Volume Level in our Android, and it gives some sort of warning like Raise Volume above Safe Level? This may cause hearing problem! Blah Blah!, when we try to increase the volume to Max Level.
When I try to increase the volume to Max level, and suddenly when very High Beats(you know what I mean) come in the music of the song, the Music Player pauses. The Connection of the earphone gets detached from the phone, and it plays the Song in Loudspeaker of phone, when I Resume the song.
So, I have to unplug the Earphone and Plug it again to Listen to it.
This Problem happens with:
My LG Earphones
Other small earphones
My Car Music Player when using an AUX Cable
Music Player at my Gym
This Problem does not happens with:
Steelseries Siberia Headphones
Its so strange to me that the problem is with all earphones, but not with this Gaming Headphone which I have. I just increase the Volume to Max level and it keeps playing it and the beats are awesome with this headphone.
Is the problem related to L9's Hardware? Or there is something with the Output of Audio? I don't know! I am a Noob with this!
So, I request for help as I am, and maybe some other people too, are sick of this problem. PLEASE HELP!
Thank You
Best Regards
no prob with me

It happens with any song, at maximum volume.
Is it something related to Output of Audio? Maybe it does not give problem with Good Heaphones like your SkullCandy and my gaming headphone of SteelSeries.
Maybe these headphones are able to process very High level sound? Or something else? There must be some solution!
Thanks for your reply!

Although, I can see 90% change with Viper4Android, but still at some extent, when I tried to increase the volume to Max, the music is getting stopped in some high beats song.
FYI, currently I have enabled these settings in Headset settings menu of Viper4Android:
In Master Power, V4A FX is Enabled
In Fidelity control, Viper BASS is enabled
What settings I can alter for more advantage?
Thanks for your help brother :good:
