Hi guys! I've installed many KitKat roms for my S2. But I have a problem with these roms. When I am listening to music(not with headset) my back speaker has too many bass and the high sounds are crushing too much. Please help me, Thanks!

If u have the DSP MANAGER installed .. then go to speaker and play with the settings.
Or use Alsa Mixer from play store and see

The quality is awsome i personally think as with most Saumsungs, both with headphones & the built in speaker are greate, However as stated above i think its even better 10/10 if you use the DSP manager.

i have DSP Manager bundled with Omega Black/Blue ICS...
Beats audio is only well integrated with HTC phones.
Even in the resurrection rom it doesnt really enhance quality.
Its just placebo effect. The max that you can do is get dsp manager thats all!

That's not true!
The Galaxy S2 has, in fact, terrible audio quality. This is due to poor quality hardware components (namely the Yamaha DAC).
There are two things you can do.
You can follow the advice of Kaffee4Eck and use voodoo louder, what won't help THAT much. Or you can get an external DAC (like the FiiO E7). This will give you superb sound quality, that no iPhone or HTC will get close to. However, you'll have to stick with CyanogenMod for it to work, it's less portable, because you'll have an additional device in your pocket and I'm not sure if you'll be pleased with it. I'm not sure because:
a) you've got beats and
b) you say that the problem is that they aren't "booming" like on you HTC.
I don't know you, so I can't tell, but too me it looks like you don't like sound quality, but pure bass. I cannot tell if the FiiO is good for that kind of job.
Thanks for advice Sniper i dont fancy paying £60 for additional device was hoping that there would have been a software mod worth trying

As mentioned earlier, voodoo louder. You just need the app on a compatible kernel.

Just gotta ask:
Have you ever used "real" headphones?
My phone good audio quality stock rom and any other rom .
Samsung stock phones .
Sound level on stock over 50% is to high .
Slight addition to a better quality is Volume Plus free old version app and a pair of
ViSang R02 in ear buds .

Try them until you find one that works and meets your audio needs

What is the best way to make the s2 sound quality better

After reading loads. I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the mods and stuff.
So can anyone examination what's the best way to make the sound quality better?
There's loads of bits from the voodoo side of things or the beats audio I'm not sure..
However I am a audiophile and would like the best sound and also more volume.
Thanks in advance
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Voodoo Louder will give you up to 6dB more volume with headphones/headset, Voodoo Sound doesn't work with SGS2 as the Yamaha DAC isn't compatible with it. Best bet is to get a decent audio app with EQ/bass boost/widening/etc.
Other than that, a decent set of headphones/canalphones should make the sound 'acceptable' tho not as good as a phone with a Wolfson DAC like the Galaxy S (or so people say).
try some pro headphones
use voodoo louder
use dsp manager
I'll be buying voodoo louder tomorrow. I test the quality on a pair of sennheiser HD650s into a Neco Soundlab custom headphone amp so there's no issues there. :-D
So I take it that the beats audio mods don't work at all?

Some say Beats works well while others say it makes no difference at all. Could be a placebo effect but not sure. Read the Beats thread here on XDA's Gslaxy S2 forums or make a backup and then try for yourself

+1 for PowerAmp in terms of best audio quality. Better than the other apps I've tried. Also using Voodoo Louder which does not affect quality but does increase volume in headphones by 1.5, 3.0, or 6.0 decibels.

HIT THANKS IF THIS HELPS YOU IN ANYWAY
Ok this is what I'm doing. On my neat rom I have installed beats audio and so far WOW I can actually hear the sound stage and the bass is way better. I will buy voodoo louder tomorrow and put it on the resurrection remix rom and see if I can indeed hear the difference.

Ok so I've ended up putting both voodoo louder and beats on both roms and they both compliment each other and now the music is amazing! So if you want good sound quality do that. It works for me

It does when you use one of the custom kernels. DSP manager doesn't need to have a custom kernel though.

When I open the voodoo sound app it says that my kernel doesn't support extended sound controls. I will try dsp manager.

voodoo is only on the 4.0 not the 5.0 you have to tell people which version of the galaxy player you have as that makes a difference.

Just my salt;
The best way to improve the sound output quality is named Jet Audio plus with BBE effects.
No need for added DSP everything available here.
2 configurable BBe DSP and all effects are ajustable. Just enter setting mode and adjust at your taste.
This a port of the well known COWON audio players.
Tested many apps no one is better than this because of its flexibilty.

I tried Jet Audio Plus and for a free app, it's the best alternative to the paid ones. But in all honestly the Equalizer and other settings don't do much for sound quality. I often have problems with distorted and fluctuating even with low EQing. What I found weird was that Jet Audio Plus, made the music sound very low and when I tried to up the volume through the preamp, I got distortion. I switched to PowerAmp (with the same master volume) and it was about 6X louder with the same music and no distortion or fluctuating lol. Also I found that Jet Audio Plus bass wise is pretty weak, even with X-bass turned on (and no I'm not a bass head either). But as I said before great for a free app, but if paying go for poweramp or player pro.
