Android 2.3.6 no 5.1 music - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

ok. So i just updated my galaxy s2 to 2.3.6 and now there is no 5.1 surround sound option. I miss it. It gave amazing clarity to my 320 kbps music. Is there a way to turn it on, or did the davs leave out hr option entirely?

I'm running stock 2.3.6 and I have the 5.1 option.

If your running my ROM here you'll have xLoud which boost's up your audio alot so it doe's not matter about 5.1CH

How do you turn on the 5.2 option. I dont see it. Ehere is it?

I get the option in videos but not music.

[Q] Talk 1.3 video and audio not working with Gingerbread 2.3.5

As above is there a way to get the video and audio to work with 2.3.5? Or am i best going to 2.3.4 or even 2.3.3 where I had massive battery drain?
I hope somebody can give you some directions. For me , the audio and video do works. The down side is the loud statics sound in the background which make audio impossible to hear.
works for me aside for the listed in thread 'bugs'
you tryed talk from my signature ?
No problems here.
Using stock 2.3.5 JVT.
Just root.
Only video call lags a bit.

Question regarding equalizer...

Hello,
For those lucky ones with a galaxy nexus....i wanted to know, when in stock music player, I hear that changes in the equalizer can make huge differences in the volume of the speaker. It can make the speaker much louder as well....but i wanted to know, if I set it to user or custom, and turn up the equalizer to louder, will it apply to all audio?
Example, by default, equalizer is off, if i adjust it to on, and raise the bars, will my youtube app play videos on my "new equalizer settings" or was that just adjusted for stock music?
Can anyone do the test to see?
Many thanks in advance !
I think thee reviews stating speaker is low is by default settings, but can relaly improve through equalizer form what i hear.
Bump

Maybe I am missing something but my Music app doesn't have an equaliser option.
in stock music app.
the equalizer does make a difference. i have not test it with a headphones yet, but even with its onboard speaker, you are able to tell the difference.
i only see it on the stock music app at the moment. not available on youtube app.
this is a feature only exist on ICS, so for others running the new music app on any other roms, you will not get this feature. not even on honeycomb. (i have tested this).
Yes the music is louder in the rmusip app, but nothing else plays any louder I tested this because I think the ring volume is way to low

[INFO] Native ICS Equalizer in Play Music!

So... I am sorry if this has been discussed, but I just found an equalizer in the native music player. Everyone keeps recommending volume+ to boost the sound or a third party equalizer to get better sound, but if you go into Play Music and turn a song on, you get the screen with the album art and whatnot. I noticed the three dots at the top of the screen, so I tapped it. A menu appeared with the following options: Sound Effects, Show Options, Make instant Mix, and Settings. So I tapped on Sound effects. And there it was! I tried doing a search on equalizers, but the only results that came up were posts that had "equal" in the posting. I am not rooted, and I am completely stock. Just a heads up if anyone is irritated with the sound. Also, bass boost and 3D effect only work if you have headphones or speakers plugged in.
I didn't know if it would be better to put this thread here or in apps and themes. So I chose here.
Now if I could only find a way that makes the sound effect for incoming notification NOT completely stop or pause the music for the duration of the notification, I would be so happy!!
Sick find, didn't know about this thanks.

Yeah I just discovered this too a few days ago. It works FANTASTIC. but too bad it only effects Google music and not the entire phone audio.
Dsp manager is better. And when installed takes the place of music fx.

Not there
Anyone have any idea why this would disappear or how to force it to be there? I have a One XL running the viper rom and beats audio isn't working (yes, I've plugged in headphones) which I don't really care about, I just want this equalizer. I'm assuming the presence of beats (which is useless since it's not working) is preventing the equalizer but I don't know enough about this to be sure.

Sound output increase after JB update!!!

Has anyone noticed the increase in the sound output after JB update? I have seen a massive improvement and the music quality has also improved drastically. Bass is also impressive now. The headphones are now blasting with music... Please share your thoughts...
I have also noticed that the browser does not reload after reopening while multi tasking. These two are the best updates for me in JB...
So multi-tasking is for real this time.
How about music chopping with default player. Haven't read a solution about it before?
Am on the music player for past 2 hrs now, and haven't had any choppiness at all. Although this was an issue even I faced intermittently.
I was also experiencing choppiness in the default music player and Youtube before the update. Now I haven't experienced them so far..
The music player has just become so awesome!! HTC has managed to make gapless play onto to the new update,,which is something that music lovers love the most... :thumbup: And the beats audio equaliser has been redefined,,and music is more loud as well as sharp... I could hear even the smallest of music with my headphones on... Even it did some magic with the speaker.. even though it doesn't have a built in amplifier like the 8x,, it is giving more loudness than before.. HTC has given the best update till yet... :thumbup: Hoping for more..

I'm using pro player and the stock music player. Maybe the headphones I have are making a difference in sound including the loudness... Glad to know that wifi direct is working...

[Q][XS] PowerAMP stutters like a *****!

This has always been happening, its incredibility frustrating the music will cut out/or will stutter often. It does seem to do it more often the longer the phone is booted up. But there is enough free RAM and I don't really know why it's doing it, I have even reinstalled the firmware...running stock ICS .55. so irritating if anyone can tell give me a working solution I will buy you a coffee!:good:
Every music player on stock ICS for XS shutters (on my XS) .. Seems to be a problem with stock rom..
My friend's low end Samsung Galaxy Y doesn't have this problem. I try my best to avoid playing music around him.. Its embarrassing IMHO..

Even the walkman app? Walkman seems to be fine for me, but I don't like it so don't really wanna use it. Plus I bought powerAMP so I want to use it obviously plus its awesome otherwise :silly:

Yes.. Seems to be the worst affected.
Testers are reporting smooth music playback on latest leak JB Firmware : 6 .2 .B .0 .197 ... Everything is working except for some minor bugs..
You can try that out..
There's a setting in poweramp to increase buffer size, I leave it as is and haven't had any stutters or skips on stock ics
