It seems that I've found the perfect combination of eq settings to help improve sound quality. The issues most face with the standard music player configuration is having to put up with tinny sounds and a flat soundstage which simply put - degrades your sound! And most become oblivious to the low quality sound over time. How horrible! But with a few changes sound can be clearer and after applying these tweaks, you will certainly hear the difference. With a few settings taken from here and there at xda and blended together and tweaked, my music played via the galaxy s2 really does now sound alot better.. A result of a clearer low end, no apparent distortion at max volume (and oh boy is it louder, thanks to volume+) , a more apparent seperation between the mid ranges/highs.. For once there's a distinction in the music and the separation of sounds can be heard rather than the usual muffle. I've tested this combination of apps/settings with both high quality flac files and 256kbps mp3s and it certainly brings out the colour in each song. I produce/compose film/trance music so I'd like to think I've a good ear.
Right, where do I begin.?
You will need 3 apps - Power amp, Equalizer and Volume +, installed to begin. Each application is free. The purpose of each app is as follows.
Poweramp - A top music player with eq functionality
Equalizer - To further enhance eq levels
Volume+ - To give the sound more legroom and boost sound levels
Power amp - http://market.android.com/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer
Equalizer - http://market.android.com/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer
Volume + - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=645858&d=1309854453
Simply apply the settings as shown in the below screenshots.. Follow exactly for best result.
Poweramp -

Equalizer -
Volume+ -
If you find the highs a tad too sharp, drop the treble slightly in Poweramp.
To achieve a deeper bass, in volume+, set the bass to +5 but try not to go much higher as the sound quality will impair.
To higher the volume use Poweramp and higher the amp slider by a tiny amount and to avoid distortion do not let it go past the midway mark.
Drop the 8k slider down in poweramp to help reduce the sharp frequencies, which can hurt the ears sometimes running at a high volume. If using external speakers rather than headphones, these settings may push the sound to distortion, so be sure to set volume+ to external speaker mode for best possible effect.
Currently using Volume+ may lead to fc's when making a call, even though the fc occurs, the effect of Volume+ should still be active, currently theres no workaround as i'm aware.
If you believe you've found an even better combination of settings then please share! Just remember to post which earphones/headphones you're using.
Update : download "audioboost sgs2" from the market and set the desired volume level to around "82" for a cleaner amplified sound, this works better than volume+ for most people.
Please give feedback whether or not these settings work well with your headset.

testing on my expensive high quality Shure headphones and will report back.
good job. Sound good now. Since my Shure headphones are capable of making deep base and mid base, i increased the Bass in Poweramp to the 3 o'clock position instead of your at 12 o'clock, and Also 5+ in bass in Volume+
Bass UGH UGH UGH .

Wow, nice guide, now my phone sound better then before!!
I like the effect this combination gives.
BUT I have major issue with Volume+ and not sure whats the reason for it. It crashes once I plug in my headset.
using PowerAMP + Eq + VolumePlus
it looks like a conflict between Equalizer and Volume+
anyone having similar issues?
yeah, it happen to me too, but mine was when i am dialing someone and when its connected then the error will appear(happen once in a while) but i just press the force close its still able to connect but its not a major problem for me as its still work its just annoying

Untick Resume/Pause on headset disconnection/connection in Poweramp headset options.
Already tested it - pausing or resuming setting off doesnt affect it. Another thing is volume+ will crash when changing settings while the Eqalizer preset is enabled. Preset disabled - everything works fine...

Tweaks work great thanks! Not quite as nice as my Galaxy Tab with Voodoo but SGS2 sounds definitely less flat and less muddy. Volume+ doesn't seem to actually do anything though to sound quality so I might just ditch that.
this setting wont work nice when i plug in an external Bose speakers... Bose speakers suck with builtin preamp and low bass output power. I changed to "external speaker" preset in the equalizer and it works great!
Hi,
testing now
I find Volume+ does not make a big diff
Having a good sound is not an easy one on that device,
Thank you for sharing your findings
I used to configure only PowerAmp - my best music player ever !
Adding a little tast of "equalizer" seems to provide something better
Will continue listening an see
Thanks !

Sure some of you have heard or even used Rockbox before, my Sansa Clip rockboxed sounds off the hook! Well you may or may not know Rockbox is also available for Android, unstable officially but some clever geniuses have already ported it and made an application for this some time ago.
Sure it may not have a fancy interface but I can live with that! We all know the SGS2 is not one of the greatest sounding phones out there especially after Supercurio magically enhanced the first version of the device with his great Voodoo control! Samsung let us down in v2 by getting rid of the Wolfson chip, however not all is lost, as users have discovered KI3 firmware 2.3.5 and kernel improves sound compared to previous versions!
Pair it up with this app and prepare to enjoy some loud decent sounding music! Well that depends on what your ears are wearing! My collection of headphones sound great.
Credits to RockBox for their commitment in bringing us better sound, and credits to Rasher for his app!

Give it a try, this has it's own EQ which is highly customisable. Even on stock settings with the new KI3 kernel and my headphones it sounds good.
I always liked rockbox, used it on my old iPod alot back in the day. However, sorry, but sound quality wise, it doesn't come close to galnet miui + poweramp + dsp manager.

Yes, to my ears it's exactly that - cleaner, more realistic sound. Bass is definitely more punchy and tighter. There's more background detail. As if they somehow improved the whole headphone amp hardware of SGSII. Don't know how they did it but can't complain Some records sound maybe a bit dry compared to stock player or PowerAmp but even then I just can't resist the clearer presentation of Rockbox. The real downside is that I'm starting to wonder how much more I'm missing from the music using a crappy (SQ-wise) phone and fairly cheap IEMs
Which is best for you? What is your view? I seek advice from the guys of observation

Thanks for the DSP Manager links! I have been using Equalizer for months but decided to test DSP manager now, and it really rocks! I like that it is a system app as well and that it works for all players. I use Spotify, Google Music, and Pocket Casts, so I need an equalizer that works for several music players. Equalizer would sometimes not work perfectly, but DSP Manager seems solid!
Dsp all the way. I used to use power amp and never cared much for dsp but the Apollo / dsp combo is fantastic.

i use volume+ and it's working fine on my GN.
wow looks like im the only person thus far that uses Equalizer your missing out
DSP manger FTW
Surprised volume + isn't on this list. It makes the speaker sound way better and twice as loud. But if I was to pick from op's list I would say equalizer.
I personally get better sound using poweramp. And I love the player because it actually shows the right album art.

Hi phone_user,
I agree 100%,Volume+ in first then Equalizer since it's on the list
And probably it's ridiculous but Volume+:75Ko/Equalizer:2,1M... and more RAM used just for a sound app(ok more features than Volume+ like widgets).
But since this thread is not a comparo between Volume+ and....I choose Equalizer.
You should have done a poll
I don't really use a music effects app, because honestly I don't know what their potential is... never really played around. But does it make that much of a difference (i.e. better music quality)? If so, which app and settings do you recommend? Screenies w/ setup please.

It does help quite a bit. I notice the stock audio sounds so flat and dull... with equalizer I up the treble and bass cuz it also lacks the thump I like. I listen to a lot of metal and sub genres of that...(metalcore, Hardcore, etc) so the higher treble sounds nice. Here is where my equalizer is at. The treble is a tad high but you can always lower it to your liking. I have the same "v" shape on my laptop with beats audio.

We know that our Galaxy Ace hasn't a large volume receiving calls, notifications, messages, headphones ...
Personally I think it's very hard to tell you the phone is ringing at sites with little noise, for example whether someone sent me a whatsapp (it's also depends on the ear of each) :laugh:
I've been looking for many sites how to increase the volume to my Ace and I've seen that is a mess!!
so, I've decided to open this new thread to unify all kinds of reviews, comparisons, and experiences, about which is the best way to increase / improve the volume of our Galaxy Ace.
Post your opinions, if you are using a STOCK/CUSTOMSTOCKBASED/Cm7/Cm9/Cm10 roms,your preferred method to increase the volume, your experiences, combinations with apps..

Hey do we need to uninstall Beats Audio to flash this mod?
I used DSPManager + Megabass Ace mod.. that's enough fun for me..
No matters which mod you use, overall sound quality remains the same.
Audio mods only change values to "enhance" certain low-med-high frequencies.
All depends in the type of head-earphones you have in order to choose the best audio experience.
In my experience (I'm an audio engineer, composer, musician) DSP Manager 2 from CM10.1 is the best passive audio enhancer. As the name dictates, its a Digital Sound Processor software running over the Digital/Analog coding of sound with the ability of manually adjusting frequencies and even apply compression to the whole audio which can reduce the amount of saturation in loud velocities (volume).

very interesting
I had been running Lifeless for the longest time until recently that I was able to figure out a way to get whatsapp working on AOSP ROMs. I noticed the speaker volume on stock ROMs is louder than the speaker volume on AOSP ROMs. Is there a way to adjust the speaker volume on AOSP ROMs so its as loud as stock ROMs? Thanks!
Edit: In-call volume is really low too... I noticed some AOSP kernels have louder speaker volume but not in-call volume.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
I'm interested to find out about this as well, specifically for headset volume. AOSP volume is way lower than stock.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Same here, the volume is much lower on CM 10.1 than it was on stock software. I've also noticed that phone calls won't play through the 3.5mm audio jack, although that is probably a separate issue.
As an aside, the numbers are meaningless, but I use my phone for music in my car, and while 30 used to be a good comfortable volume level (though certainly loud, but that's my preference), now I have to go to 40 to get approximately the same effect. I also have the loudness compensation in the DSP equalizer set to "stronger," now, which I wouldn't have done before.
If anyone has any info on any of that, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
Edit: Max volume on my car stereo (a basic Alpine model) is 40, I noticed today. I'm probably tearing my eardrums apart, but I have the phone turned all the way up too and it's not very loud (relative to my previous phone, a Motorola Photon 4G, or stock LG software on this phone) at all.
Hey guys, I have found that if you are into the changing and tweaking if you have 'trickster mod' some kernels you can actually change the fixed gain under "specific" then "sound control" hope that helps

I figured that I'd bring this post back up since its pretty much relevant to my question.
All stock ROMs for this phone, from ringtone to notifications, have a crisp sound to them but AOSPs in my experience don't. The sound seems tinny or "grainy" if you will. Is there a fix for this I'm overlooking?

Update: using TricksterMod donate and tweaking the sound settings definitely helped the volume. I've attached a screenshot with my current settings. Actually, the phone's loudspeaker sounds too loud for it's own good on max system volume. I keep it turned down a couple of notches. Headphone volume is much improved, though. And I don't have to worry about it being grainy when I'm using the headphone port, of course.

Update: using TricksterMod donate and tweaking the sound settings definitely helped the volume. I've attached a screenshot with my current settings. Actually, the phone's loudspeaker sounds too loud for it's own good on max system volume. I keep it turned down a couple of notches. Headphone volume is much improved, though. And I don't have to worry about it being grainy when I'm using the headphone port, of course.

What ROM is that?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
I am on official CyanogenMod 10.2, the latest nightly, 10-11-13. And running Smoocha 2.0 kernel. Smooth as silk, now, and the data issues are gone, for me.
Does anyone face issues with low volume or lack of audio quality when using android auto?
I mean sound is ok, but its not as loud as other devices i used with AA.
I have tried the internal equalizer and dolby atmos, it helps a little but still not the same.
I have also tried the app EqualizerFX and so far seems better but not 100%.
Do you use any other method or app for this.
I am on the brink of rooting and going for Viper, but thats my last resort
i use poweramp pro ... it boost volume and bass for my buds - works a treat and it downloads the album art and instantly adds it to the track - quite nice

Yep poweramp pro works like a treat for local files.
but do still run into the issue for streaming apps like Spotify, GoogleMusic or Tidal
Have you upted the Bluetooth setting to loud.
In the media playback mode goto setting / sound setup/volume setup/Bluetooth audio.
Makes a huge difference on mine when using amazon music etc......

that doesnt exsist on the A70 - not mine anyway
Try developer options/disable absolute volume (on) then increase volume via phone and also the bluetooth device volume up button

No, it's not on the phone. It's in the Head unit settings....
I ended up rooting and using V4A, sound is full and sounding nice now. (although now with root i have google pay issues - but i guess i use audio more often than gpay)
On stock no matter what i tried the sound was just dull.

1. Bluetooth on the phone has its own volume setting, I hope you pressed that volume up button on the phone, then said "OK" to earpiercing warning, and then pressed volume button up again until you reached max
2. Dullness of sound cannot be cured with any settings on the phone - in Bluetooth original data just streamed to the car (being compressed/decompressed along the way)
3. You can still play with audio setting to affect headphone jack quality - it helped me.

yes i know that.and yes that was basically the first thing i did.
and btw this issue with Android auto is not to do with bluetooth or jack.. it uses usb dac to stream auto and control to the AA interface.
anyways, as said Viper4Android sorted my issue, as it processes audio differently to the stock audio processing.
same as poweramp, has its own audio processing, also for usb dac

(This worked for me)
