[Q] Music player with 5.1 ch sound?

I love the stock music player that came with my galaxy s because of it's ability to play music in 5.1 ch.
However, I have now flashed the latest MIUI to my sgs but the music player is not able to play music in 5.1 ch, so I was wondering if anyone of you guys know an app that can do this?
Thanks

5.1ch is just a sound effect. You can get it on any player app with basic tweaks to the equalizer settings.

Ah, I see. Does anyone have any tips on how to achieve this with an eq?

With 5.1ch people usually mean that instead of stereo (which is 2 channels, left + right) you have 4 additional channels (Center + Back left + Back Right + LFE or Bass (.1))
Your phone only has one speaker so I'm not sure how you want to achieve this.
The audio output is only capable of sending out stereo as well.
A source file with multi-channel audio is usually in *.vob format (DVD video format) but I know of no player that will show this on Android (except for the Archos Gen8 stock video player).
Audio only files would typically be in *.wav or *.ac3 format but same here, I know of no player that will play these multi-channel streams.
Perhaps I misunderstood your question?

The stock galaxy s music player was able to simulate 5.1 ch (when headphones were plugged in) which provided a very nice boost in sound quality. What I'm looking for is either a port of that music player to MIUI or another music player that is able to do the same thing (or some eq settings that does it would also be fine).

I have yet to find one that actually installs on my phone

That option is a load of bull XD.When you listen you only have 2 speakers assuming you are using earplugs which makes 2.0 the highest you can achieve. You shouldn't bother about it... just a stupid tweak that imho makes the sound sound worse...

your comment is a load of bull.. no offence here. But the guy is asking for something dont tell him if its bad or not. He likes it other people like it some dont like it you find it bull. But he doesnt comment you on that does he?

And yes i find the sound nice to. And like other people said there are ways to get this trough EQ settings but so far i havnt got it the same as the stock player one

All I was saying that the option is stupid and it's fake it doesnt provide 5.1ch surround sound and I thought he was thinking that and I was helping his out of his dream (read his 3rd post... this is the case here..). If this is the case my comment is valuable if this isn't well.. he'll just do nothing with the information... It's a win anyway, he has nothing to lose, playing around with a EQ is way better ;/. Install voodoo sound tbh if you want a good musical experience...

The 5.1ch option was not stupid, even though it was fake. It made the sound much clearer and better on all headphones I used.
Will look into voodoo sound, thanks for the tip.

I had 5.1 available when I was using a gingerbread version I got from here. Now I can't seem to find one Pretty sure it was Calkulon or something along those lines. It was way better sound (with headphones) in my opinion, so I'm trying to find a current version that will deliver that "fake" surround

On a side note, I got Jellybean using a vid a watched from QBking77 on youtube, and he references you guys alot.
There are some bugs with Jelly Bean... For instance my mic cuts out when I hold the phone to my face and the screen goes off. Bluetooth headset... NOT A CHANCE lol. On speakerphone i can talk just fine. Headset, works great too. Sometimes I have to pull the battery because the screen dims. But for the most part, it works great.

[Q] volume keys to skip tracks

Hi all,
Does anyone know of an app/software hack that will allow a long press on the + and - volume keys to skip tracks while the screen is off?
the CyanogenMod rom allows this function but i cant seem to find it in a non sense rom or an app/hack to do it
apart from flashing the above rom (quite like the sense interface though)
I know its a little thing but its really useful when out jogging etc to just use the volume keys. I use spotify as my music player so would need to be a OS type fix and not separate music player.
Thanks for your help
Apologies if i missed a fix, i did a search and never found anything

anyone?
hopefully htc incorporate this into newer phones

[Q] Mapping volume buttons to function as music control instead of volume?

I come from the LG Optimus V, which worked beautifully with Button Remapper: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
Is anyone aware of a way to re-map the volume buttons for music control? I frequently have the phone in my pocket while taking the bus, so would like to advance tracks tactilely

From what I know, it's only available on 2.3.5... It's definitely not on .6. And I believe it's all down to the Dev to do that

PowerAmp has the features your asking for.

Just tried Poweramp and Playerpro, neither worked for me. I didn't see any options for enabling this either.
I see from this post that the volume buttons may work with the screen already on, but I'm looking to use the buttons to advance tracks even while the screen is asleep:

I'm going to look into BeastMod to see if this feature is enabled

Just discovered this new Tactile Player Pro app:

Works beautifully, requires two presses, but I retain the volume functions

[Q] Music player handsfree controls

I have modded my arc to the starter player and added the beats sound to it, my question though is whether there is an available mod so that you can change tracks with the handsfree button? Something similar to power amp perhaps?

Note 4 software equalizer

I did not know that the phone had a software equalizer but I must say that I like it. Im using the note with Gold Xiaomi 2nd Piston Earphone and i must say they sound good. Now I am looking to get a pair of the Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 but this set up sounds read good for the price I paid for the ear buds.

its not as good as something like V4A but it's a hellofalot easier to tune. For a built-in eq, its pretty nice.

I run the large room reverb setting in my truck. Sounds awesome.

Where is there an eq?

Easiest way to find it is in Google music, go to settings you will see it there.

Does it only work for Google music, or any music app?

For my, it works with Google music, stock player and Double Twist (i think). I will also test it with poweramp.

Maybe I'm missing something but every time I look at the EQ settings they are reset. I've changed then and hit done.

I dont see any settings unless I put in my headphones.

if you use Power Amp it's easy to bring it up by a long press of "Music FX"

Does anyone know how to reset the eq? I got a different set of headphones and I wanted to run thru the setup wizard again. I already tried to clear data on adapt sound and soundalive.

How do you all find the DAC in the Snapdragon variant compared to the Wolfson DAC in previous Note devices?

in the Music app, go to menu > settings > sound alive > advanced
and to the second guy; Its better than previous built in chips, but without a way to tune the dac (custom kernel), it's hard to give a solid answer. my s3 with very finely tuned dac for my custom audio setup sounds world's apart. no comparison.

I like it for being stock on the phone. Im still thinking about getting a fiio E18 DAC. I just started out getting into better audio equipment. I had a pair of Ath M50s and vmoda m80. I looking to pick up the new ATH-MSR7 when they come out.
