Hi guys! I have a certain and little weird problem. I updated ovet-the-air to the latest 4.1.2 with baseband I9300XXEMG4. I have sales code XEO which means Poland. I did a factory reset so everything is clear and the problem is the following: when I listen to music over the headphones (from the speaker there is no problem and I also tried 4 sets of headphones, so it's not a headphone problem), and enable the equalizer (only on apps with 5 band equalizer, not apps with 10 band eq and I tried the following: google music, zplayer, playerpro, n7player and mixzing and only mixZing seems to work properly -I don't know why) and start turning up the sliders, the sound lowers instead of getting louder. I also updated the S3 of a friend who has German Firmware and he experiences the same problem. Does anyone else that updated to this version has the same problem?
bumping for answers... :fingers-crossed:
any updates on this?

I have wiped the phone it didn't work. I have flashed stock ROM it didn't work. I think the problem is the Music FX system app which controls the equalizer. There must be a problem with the app and the MG4 firmware. But the fact that nobody else reports this problem makes me anxious. Although on another forum someone said he had the same problem, he sent it for service and they just installed the previous firmware, which means they don't even know wtf the problem is.
Try an older Music FX apk
I tried newer FX, older FX and nothing. I finally rooted it and flashed dsp manager and now the MusicFX plays normally (I don't know why!). but the problem is that I don't want my phone to be rooted and I don't know what to do to make music FX play normally when I am on stock. very weird software problem and I don't know why nobody else have it...
Remove root now see if DSP still works .

I have the same problem, ever since the last update in Australia, the equalizer stopped working and when sliding the sliders upwards the sound lowers, had this issue for a few months now and it's unbearable.

Soundhound might always cause this...
Try Shazam instead!
I am having the same problem with the sound coming from the ear speaker
I am also having problems with force closes, Facebook connections (the background sync) fail, and I can't pair with a Bluetooth hands-free device. (if it is compatibility can this be modified rom?) I would greatly appreciate the help, as I have dug through threads and threads of threads. Googled the issues, through different descriptions, both detailed and simple, and I could not find any resolutions, regarding these issues.... please help, otherwise the ROM is Great....
.I appreciate all of the hard work the DEV''s Admins and moderators do.....as well as all of the others that pitch in to make this a glorious site. Worked with several mods, including installing a cam on my Blue Angel, for a few years. I don't see how i got by without this site.....THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
Rooted XPERIA X10i - Android 2.3.3 - WB-XPERIA TW Gingerbread with V3.7
From my past experiences. Sound hound and talk box have this problem. Which is why IM still sticking to stock ROM
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
But i had it working on the past rom (v.3 i guess) and no strange things with the speaker came out... it was until 3.7.
And for the comments above... maybe shazam has the same effect..
Hi everyone, I have a galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) upgraded to android 4.0.3, and whenever I enable the 5.1 surround sound in the native music player, the song I'm listening to becomes distorted; it slows down and sounds weird.
I think it did work once, but since then its never worked with any mp3 file, regardless of size. I haven't tested it on other formats, because I mainly use mp3 for music etc.
I've googled like mad to try and find an answer as to why this happens.....but I can't find a solution.
Equaliser and sound effects are all set to normal, but it still sounds really distorted when 5.1 is enabled. Without 5.1 it sounds great (I did the Beats Audio hack a few days ago).
Oh and I've tried several different headphones to no avail...
Any ideas why this happens? And how I could fix it?
Same here!
Hello,
Before the ICS upgrade my 5.1 music was as pleasant as it could get. I tried using this effect in my car last weekend and yes, it is very distorted. Did you manage to fix it?

update
Did you try to contact the Samsung service desk?
you need to get back to the service centre I guess. I had the same issue when it was updated via kies. Samsung reloaded the OS for me and its good to go now , except for heating issues which I threw away their stock kernel and went for speedmod

It works and it works like magic!
Ha ha......yeah. I switched off the phone and removed the batter to check the serial number so that I can register it for servicing.
Later, switched on the phone and it just works fine!
Chaps, try this and let me know if it helps.

There is some issue with ICS 4.0.3 for india update i guess, u need to restart the phone to get off with the error. Once restarted 5.1 effect works fine.
I just want to know if it could be some hardware fault.
Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 16 GB with rooted XXELLA stock firmware, 32 GB SDCard. I use Spotify to listen to my music through a Soundwear SD10 bluetooth headset.
The built-in MusicFX (1.4) equalizer works fine and I can tell the difference in the sound quality for a couple of days, then, though the MusicFX app seems to be still running, the sound goes back flat (not equalized). When this happens, the On/Off button on the app makes no difference to the sound and the only thing I can do to fix the problem is to reboot the phone. Bear in mind that I may turn on/off bluetooth and headset several times during the 2 days period mentioned, and play/pause/resume songs in Spotify as many times.
In order to try to prevent a reboot I have tried to stop/restart, disable/enable, clear data, cache, etc. for MusicFX to no avail. The funny thing is that I have tried a few other equalizers (Equalizer, the "other" MusicFX app, etc.) and all of them suffer from the same issue: they stop providing equalization after 1 or 2 days. I have also tried Awesome Beats and the ported DSP Manager from Cyanogenmod but they just do not work on my S3. I have alerady reset my phone to factory defaults, cleared data/cache and this problem persists through the various firmware upgrades (I had XXELL5 originally)/factory resets, etc.
I use the Spotify widget and also the latest JKay Deluxe settings/framework, which helps me keeping Spotify in memory (otherwise the widget renders useless when I try to resume a playlist after a few hours). I cannot add MusicFX to the list of "protected apps" in JKay as it's not listed in the app drawer.
Has anybody come across a permanent solution for this or a similar problem?
Thanks in advance.
Never ever seen that problem .

Hi thanks JJegan. Any clues on how to replace the MusicFX apk? To what version, etc?
I recently upgraded my ROM to Official Android 4.3 form the Ireland patch which was released.
I have noticed that while playing songs on the headphone..wired and bluetooth after sometime the audio seems distorted although there is nothing wrong with the audio file. If I try to restart the app or reboot the problem is resolved..
This is something I most encounter when am using the mobile to listen to music on the move.
Any clue why this is happening...what do you suggest ??

Hey everyone. I'm in desperate need of help. I'm wondering whether my earphone jack in my phone is just broken or this is some sort of software issue. I either can't find anything about this problem anywhere else or I'm just searching the wrong keywords.
My international SGS3 with the latest nightly version of CM11 recently started having this weird problem where I would start music playing in Apollo, PlayerPro or Rocket Player (does it in all of them) and there was no sound coming through the earphones at all. I then discovered that when I pressed my home button and minimised the app, the music started playing. However, if I touch anything (status bar, open another app) the music stops immediately until I put it back to the home screen. Music works fine when playing music through the loudspeaker, and I've tried many different pairs of earphones.
I've seen strange stuff where the music can't play in the background but never that it can't play in anything but the background. Will I buy a replacement earphone jack or is there something I can do to fix it without taking my phone to bits?

It seems to be something to do with the newest CM11 build...
Make a nandroid backup, flash another AOSP/Sammy's rom (i recommend this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2603155 )
and see if the problem continues

It wasn't working before I updated it and it still isn't working. Why is no one else having this problem with CM11?
