I've got a problem with headphones. When i plug in original headphones that was in pack with XDA Exec sound is good but when I plug in headphones from my MP3 player sound is bad and doesn't have bass and treble is too strong then. How to force normal headphones to work fine?
Try with another headphones, perhaps they have some damage

Do your normal headphones work fine with your mp3-player??
Yes, everything is good. Same as on sound card on my computer. Maybe I'll try use another but must borrow from friend because I tested on two I had in my home and effect was same on both.
I think it has to do with the quality of headphones you are using. Some, especially cheap ones, have tendency to 'lose' some sounds and accentuate wrong sounds which leads to distortion. I don't think the original headphones are that amazing, but it is possible that your mp3 ones are even worse.
Another thing is the program you use to play your music....
you succeed through earphones give voice commands?
Just wondering if the in ear headset that comes with the phone is any good?
It looked plain in the unboxing videos, so what's the sound like?
Could someone take a close up picture of theirs or link me to the exact headset?
Thanks
Compared to other out of the box headsets its one of the best ive had, decent bass, crisp. All the SE phones ive had have always come with a decent headset. I can only use the type that push into your ears so that was another plus.
Does it have a remote for changing songs and stuff or is it only a mic?
A link to the headset would be appreciated
No controls, thats the downside to it. Only a mic and call answer button. I use my liveview as the controls though
Yeah I wanted to get liveview since there's no control.
Is it worth it? Any downsides to liveview?
I'd only use it for changing songs, messages and incoming calls. What you reckon?

I've tried my beats with controltalk with this phone and the sound is all garbled up.
Anyone else experience that with other headsets?
The ones that come stock are ok. but I miss my ability to control songs (fast forward, rewind, volume up/down) that I had with my iPhone 4.

I've heard of a few people who complain of garbled sound with non SE headphones in Arc/Play.
I have been using beats dr dre tour on my Play with out an issue though. Seems very hit or miss on if they work or not.

That's really an awesome app. Works brilliant. I think you have to buy it, though. At least it started annoying me with some "your trial has expired" messages.
Stock earphones are quite good, though they look/feel really cheap. ^^
They look pretty much like SE MH710 on the pictures, but I'm not sure if they are the same.
The arc stupidly reverse the ground and mic wiring thats why other headsets dont work on it. Try to hold the mic button down you will get nice sound.

Just tried that and you are right! How the heck do we fix that?
Is there something I can buy or a software hack that can fix it?

Wow! So THIS is why I haven't been able to use other headsets! That is very sneaky of SE.. I hope this is a software issue rather than intentional to force users to only buy SE headsets
My old Android phone also had this problem so I do not think it is a SE issue...
(Motorola Backflip)
It seems with the 2.3.3 update they don't even let you use these "incompatible" headsets, it just displays "Accessory not supported".
I used samsung and motorola headsets with no problem.

there HAS to be a fix for this! i cant stand the headset that comes with it, i hate those in ear noise cancelling things, make my ears feel weird! lol
but seriously, im having to use a normal pair of earphones with no control because of this issue, i have a liveview for controls but thats not always practical (dissconection issues/battery life/running the risk of smashing it to pieces when im skating!)
i have a set of iphone headphones i really wanted to use but because of this ****ty issue i cant. is there a way we could easily modify the headset and reverse the wiring in them ourselves?
We can use normal earphones ? If so, I'm not overly concerned.

Yes anything with a regular 2 channel 3.5mm Jack (headphones/speakers) work fine. I would have taken the phone back if this problem effected normal jacks too as I plug my phone into car stereos and portable speakers, but I'm still pissed off I can't use anything with an inline remote

Why don't you use stereo bluetooth hedset MW600. 3.5 mm jack on them is compatible with all wired headphones unlike 3.5 mm jack on arc and portable speakers.
Hi all!
I have some really annoying problem with my Gio.
When I plug the heaphones, I hear the analog crackles (like playing vinyls).
Have you any ideas?
Stock Samsung firmware, GioPRO 1.4 and CM7.1/7.2 - the same problem.
With DSP Man., PowerAMP EQ/Eff. and without all of this - the same problem.
I get static as well, but not really crackling. Dunno if anything can be done about it. It's pretty common on laptops as well.
So, I must to use my warranty?
I really won't to do this, I don't like to go back to stock 2.3.5, but I think I don't have any chose?
I'd say try to wait for a few more users to chime in and hear what they say. If it's a common issue with this model then it might not be worth risking the hassle of replacing it just to get another phone with the same problem.
But like I said, I'm not getting crackling so it might be only you. I'm using Particle Android btw.
me to do when I put the CPU frequency to a minimum
Maybe that's because the processor to do it slowly
Sorry for my english
Hmmmm, it have sense ;-)
I'll try to make it faster ;-)

None effect. Do you think service will do something with that?
Puck only headphones or speaker,too?
No idea about your warranty, yet my Gio's headphones also do the same thing while playing FM radio. In my case, I think the problem comes from headphones, because I hear the same noise while using them on my computer.

No, it exists on all headphones, what I connecting to my Gio (original Samsung, SoundMagic PL30, SoundMagic E10 and some of others headphones from my friends).
Switch off your 3G/WiFi while playing..
I think this could be the reason.
I think this is normal.
every gio I have seen has this noise on headphones.
but it depends on headphones too (better headphones=less noise)
I dont have noise with iphone headphones attached.
see galaxy gio review in gsmarena. sound quality sucks!!!
I only have noise when on the road. I believe it might have to do with 2g/3g cells.
BTW, with PowerAmp sound quality of the gio is excellent, IMHO.
Bought high end phones today and yes I have little crack when plug in or out phones but dont have any other noise but with cheap phones there was noise all the time when music was off

Same on mine too!
Besides crancles, i only got it working at 100% when i tried with my Creative Zen earphones!
Got a pair of Creative EP480 and now works perfectly. I think that the problem might be the mini jack input, because i´ve got an Sennheiser hi quality headphones and the problem remains.
Don't blame the gio blame the ace too, cuz it has those crackles too....

I had cracles to, but if you set your CPU to not go below 480 Mhz no more cracles for me !
Strange. I suffer the issue only on stock on both headphones and the speaker.
Neither on CyanogenMod 7 nor on 9 I don't hear them.
I've found one workaround. On stock using PlayerPro with DSP pack and increased audio buffer let cracks go.
I have some noise with some aftermarket headphones on my GIO, but my original (EHS60) headset working flawless..
i have a screen off profile set to 122-340 with smartassv2 and that got rid of any problems with the sound for me.
I get a weird warbling/static/crackle noise during any audio playback, though actually it's more of a high-pitched whine that I can barely hear. On phiex's CM7.2 with $40 Panasonic in-ears.
So, to clarify, it's a non-issue for me.

Has anyone else plugged their S3 into a high-quality pair of headphones or other soundsystem? Is the quality poor for you? I've tried Spotify (with quality set to High) and YouTube (on HD), and with both apps, the output to my headphones is very "dry" (it sounds like it's coming from an old radio). Any attempts to mess with the equalizer only result in worse-sounding audio.
Has anyone else noticed this, or is it just me? I'm running a Telus ROM on a U.S. AT&T phone, so I'm trying to find out if that's the problem or not...
Sound quality is just perfect for me and I'm on stock. It could be either headphone jack damage or the rom is somehow causing it.
Stock ICS on my S3
Nope, mine sounds great on high quality headphones.

Might be your device. Running stock LI5 and been listening to 320kbps music from sdcard... sounds good on my S4 klipsch.
Update: I just remembered that in the past, once or twice I plugged my headphones in completely and it sounded like there was no bass at all, sounded "flat". I tried plugging in the headphones a couple times to test the jack and had the same results, and I switched between PowerAMP and Google Music to see if it was an app thing. A reboot fixed the issue...
Yeah, sounds good over here. But awful with the ****ty headphones. All depends.

Make sure your headphones are plugged all the ways in.

Not for nothin I hated my gs3 just for the sound quality until I downloaded beats audio off the play store and it sounds incredibly better get it try it like it lol....... one thing to note is that you can't remove the drivers after install but really the sound will improve so much you won't care
I use PowerAmp from the Market and it was hands-down the best money I ever spent on an app. I set the EQ to Pop and it sounds fantastic both on my Skull Candy's and in my car (stock VWJetta system).

The sound is quite good on Galaxy S3. I have experienced bad audio sounds on my previous Galaxy S2 when running a custom rom. And that's one of the reason I haven't installed any custom rom yet on Galaxy S3. The sound is also amazing when using bluetooth in my Honda Odyssey. If you are on stock and still experience bad audio quality, then get a replacement.
Regarding the headphones, I use Bose MIE2, Ultimate ears MetroFi 220, and Klipsch S4A.

I noticed yesterday while listing to the radio through my bluetooth the audio is not as loud as I would like
Your audio source sounds like your problem.
If you want the best sound don't use a phone.
Also Spotify and YouTube aren't exactly flac or wav quality
Find a dac and be happy.
I use the SIII daily at work for decent listening but for serious listening I have other devices.

Thanks everyone. Sounds like it might be my custom ROM that's causing the problem. I'll give it another try, reboot a couple times, and hope it gets better.
I normally use BT for my audio, but I also use the headphone jack to plug into my car system. Yesterday I used the white Samsung headphones for the first time. I noticed that at very low volumes, there was bad hiss and musical artifacts. However, I never hear that with my BT headphones, and I never hear it in the car using the headphone jack. Granted, with the car the volume on the S3 is much higher that when I have the headphones, which may have something to do with it. I use poweramp as my music player.
I've tried several ROMs and the audio is always crisp and clear out if the jack. I plug into headphones, car audio and home surround sound. All sound great. I have found that playing with DSP can really tweak a better sound though.

Maybe your audio jack is dirty/defective, for my iPod touch I used to turn it off and get a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol and clean it for better connection. Maybe it might work for you.

The audio hardware on the GS3 is excellent. At least as good, probably better, than any of my other portable devices(laptop, sansas, ipod, half a dozen random phones. I have a pretty good ear and Denon AHD2000 headphones.
I have had problems with custom ROMs and audio quality. Serenity specifically. It would sound okay and then for no reason start sounding like a telephone in the 70's.

Not sure if I have a bad headphone jack or if the loud hiss is normal. It feels like the gain is set way too high and causes sensitive headphones produce a very loud hiss. When using it with my Fischer Audio DBA-02 (43Ω / 108dB), I can hear a very noticeable even with the volume at 0 with music playing. The hiss is close to twice as loud as the HP out on my 5yrs old laptop with the volume at 1. It is also a little louder than my normal listening level even with the volume at 1. I've also noticed distortion at very quiet parts of songs. This can clearly be heard when there's just a piano playing quietly. These don't seem to be as big as a problem with less sensitive headphones. The hiss is half as loud with the stock Captivate headphones and very much acceptable with the stock S3 headphones. The hiss is almost silent with my HiFiMan RE262 (150Ω / 95dB).
Is the hiss on the S3 louder than your other phones? Mines is by far the loudest out of all the phones I've tried so far. I just want to make sure before I bring my DBA-02 to the store to test it with another S3. The hiss with the headphone out on my Captivate is probably 20dB quieter at stock settings and 40dB quieter (pretty much silent) with the headphone amp set to -57dB in Voodoo Sound.

This ^^
The SGS3 NA version doesnt have a Wolfson chip but it is still a very good audio player.
I really like this phone, everything about it is great for me EXCEPT the sound quality. Anything that has to do with the headphone jack is an absolute disaster.
First off I have not experienced the dreaded AUX problem but I have experienced random pausing and skipping - as if I was pressing music controls on my headset - both in my car and on my headphones. I think a headphone jack is starting to wear?
Next I have experienced terrible distortion and static in the left channel, that was until I rooted and Installed Viper4Android. While the problem didn't go away entirely its much better than stock.
Im using my g3 with 3 or 4 devices....
My Acura's line in with Subs/Amps ect.
Shure SE846 In ear monitors
Fiio e6 amp (with the shures, sometimes helps sound quality)
Bluetooth to my Bose Soundlink
The flaws of the g3's sound output are noticeable on any of these, even the bluetooth soundlink and ESPECIALLY, on the SE846 direct.
I created this thread because I dont know what to do, its apparent I am an audiophile and care about my sound quality and youd think Id invest in some sort of MP3 player (I do have a Clip+ ) but I really enjoy using spotify. Should I buy a DAC and just avoid the g3s sound card all together or call and fight with LG and see what they can do?
Is anyone else having these problems? I have the Verizon Device.
I use Westone's connected through a Sony SB52. I haven't noticed any issue except that I like Sony's Walkman app better on my Xperia than LG's player.
I'm fairly picky about music quality and I haven't noticed any issues at all with my HD419s (the only headphones I have right now). Audio quality through aptx bluetooth directly to a car amp and polk component speakers is as good as one would expect too. No skipping or pausing with LG's app. Is that happening when your screen is on? Try turning it off, maybe it's a screen issue? Or maybe it's a glitch with the app you are using? The only problem I had with it was how quiet it was with headphones but the fix with root worked well.
There are several threads about the strange hissing sound - which I also got myself. LG has told me that they're working on fixing it and that it's a known flaw in the current ROMs.
I just got mine and I think this is the best sounding phone I have ever heard. Of course my expectations were very low after my experience with Apple and Samsung.
This opinion is coming from a very jaded HiFi gearhead so your mileage may vary.
The problem I'm facing..
There is noise+distortion+hissing during call
And when headphones are connected I cant understand or listen any thing I only hear wired noises..
Any fix guys ?
Dont know if its technical or software based issue
The sound quality has been noticeably bad for me using headphones also, bluetooth isn't too much of a problem and works fine.
I just got my headphone jack replaced free from LG (as it was doing the random skipping thing) - I quoted that it was a known problem (i mean look on XDA for all the threads) and as my phone was under warranty, i flashed stock firmware and sent it back - when i got it back in 48 hours it was replaced and working. They even cleaned the screen for me lol.
I don't use a headset, only headphones, and the quality is most noticeable on my sennheiser hd800s, but also on my beyerdynamic headphones. Install Viper audio and it improves slightly.
I got mine replaced today as well.
New phone bingo !!
