I have been playing with various roms for s2, but the difference in sound quality found on stock is far more superior than the CM based roms.
specially in headphones. 7.1 preset equalizer setting works best on stock roms.
is it due to libs? or some other reason?
had any one faced the same difference?

So far, I am experiencing the exact opposite. The sound quality on Custom ROMs are way better. Check out Pimp My ROM, its a app that tunes everything on your phone including sound quality to the max.

Maybe the new rom has a diff camera app from the stock one... i also noticed my camera quality dropped when flashed a custom rom...try a different camera app like camera zoom fx or any other n see if the quality is still the same.
Mine did the same but I got a app that works fine.

Yeah, different ROMs comes with different settings. So either try editing the settings or go for a different camera.apk. Either way, I think the best thing to do if you really use the camera a lot, then go for a different ROM.
Good luck
Currently I have I9100XXMS2 JB4.1.2 Android Baltic version installed on my phone (I9100). Audio quality (compared to CM10.1) is terrible on this kernel. I would like to ask if it is possible to install custom(better) kernel for this stock android JB. Also, if it is possible, maybe you can recommend kernel, which is, you think, the best when it comes listening to music.
There isn't one. The SQ on the SGS2 is limited by the ****ty Yamaha DAC. The best you can do is bump the volume up using a Siyah based kernel which gives the music more 'fullness', through headphones at least.

I am talking about rom/kernel issues, not hardware issues. When I had cm10.1 installed, music was fine, equalizers worked great, they improved quality of music very well. Now even equalizers are not able to make sure that the sound is the same or better as it was by using cm10.1.
Xplay off playstore is my choice of player. Good for quality of sound used with dori or siyah just make it even better. Loud and clear.

I've never noticed any difference whatsoever with various kernels & roms. A few music apps seem to have very slightly different sound signatures/qualities, but the variances are very slight (and may well even be imaginary). I think the differences people hear are down to changes in their headphones/earphones (and the cables, particularly in the case of IEM's) over time or even changes to their ears (wax, possibly other factors).
Having said that, I used Poweramp for 9 mths, then switched to Neutron for the last 3 mths I used my SGS2 as a music player (I don't anymore). I thought Neutron had a slightly 'cleaner' sound through 5 different IEM's, but as I said, that might have been my imagination/what I was wanting to hear.

I seem to be having incredulous difficulty getting AC!D Audio to work on any ROM I throw at it, so I'm done searching and instead resorting to reaching out to the community specifically. Does anybody know of any sound mods that work well with AOSP JB ROMs? The sound quality is just absolutely terrible, but I want to keep the AOSP look and feel. Touchwiz or ShoStock3 seems to have the best audio drivers for my taste, but is there some way to modify the AOSP audio quality? I've tried flashing Siyah's kernel to boost the headphone's gain but even then the quality is just awful. I've tried PlayerPro, PowerAmp, nothing seems to compare to ShoStock3's audio quality. This is a big deal, as music is my life and it would be much appreciated if anyone could relate/help.
check
did you check your speakers ? if they are working fine you may go to shostock rom thread and ask if audio drivers can be ported or individually uploaded or you may try xperia multie themed rom i use it and its completely fast and customisable and every thing works with no lag or audio issue

Miui roms speaker sound is...tinny and using viper4android will almost not make any difference in this case.... I keep switching form CM to Miui back and forth because of this.
Viper on CM will give me real bass and awesome speaker quality in general and I really wanna get that on stock rom.
So, what files should I copy or what can it be done about it?

this happens because of cm libs and because left speaker on cm doesn't work so it comes out very loud from only right speaker but quality is better on MIUI ROM
i recommend using miui for best sound
but using one of these sound mods search xda
divine beats
extreme aural maximizer
XTREMEMUSIC (v.7.1 latest versions in both cm and miui give bootloop)

The single channel output should not be a problem on a mono speaker unless there is a problem with the sound input, for example a recording on left channel only will give me no sound at all but this is more preferable than tiny sound that gets even lower and/or disorted when you mess with the eq. Dolby stuff is BS on a mono speaker.
I guess is there a way to make stock rom sound louder from the driver itself, NOT preamplification stuff?
I had a Moto G 2014 (RIP) and the stock sound was sooo bad even with its stereo speakers. Faux sound +4 levels and heavy viper4android eq made it almost pleasant.
Help me with the best rom for audio quality(Hd 598)
He,
i have just unlocked the redmi note 3 snapdragon version.i use it with senn Hd 598.I am planning to install custom rom for better memory mangement.But i dont know about the audio quality of that roms as i have learnt of noise issue in those roms.
So suggest me the option that would give better audio quality
1)Stick to the miui and install viper
2)install cm roms(i dont know whether snapdragon audio + or viper works there)
my absolute prefernce is sound quality and then other things like of memory mangement.
Thanks.
