Audio DAC? - Samsung Captivate Glide

Anyone know which audio DAC is the Samsung Captivate Glide using, Wolfson or Yamaha?
Side note: Which is the best hardware info app to verify these components?

I really want to know this too. Also, if it's a wolfson, which one?

I use Z-DeviceTest which identifies it as a WM8994, so a Wolfson.

I love you. Thank you!!

There is a kernel for the glide that supports voodoo sound, but its currently exclusive to Osi and Inception. I've asked in both threads if a link to the kernel (both use the same one) could be posted to download for those who wish to keep stock, but no luck on a response yet.

Vodoo Control (headphone amp )

Hello All
I always used this app on my samsung galaxy s ! this is the best headphone amplifier !
1 week ago i bought my new samsung galaxy note and soled out my galaxy s !
after installing this app it says that this device does not support extended sound controls !
how can i get this app working ? Any ideas ?
Thankss
You cannot, the device is not supported
Go get "voodoo louder": works perfectly and by buying it (it's very cheap) you can support one of the most brilliant developers here.

But you need a compatible kernel too (AbyssNote or FM among others)...
True?

Is that true? I believed you need just root. I have VOODOO LOUDER installed on a stock but rooted KKA kernel but I haven't checked it yet.
most of the stock kernels are supported
there is another app named Voodoo louder,
not sure if they are the same

just bought voodoo louder knowing that voodoo control plus doesn't work on galaxy note. before the purchase in android market there are steps to determine if your kernel is supported, in my case i am on XXLA3 rooted with CWM, all are in green hence i was able to purchase, only €1. i can't live with my note having experienced voodoo control plus with my galaxy s.
if only these worked with blue-tooth wireless headsets :-(
Sorry for the noob question, but does voodoo
Louder works only for head phone or speakers as well?

it should work as long as a jack is connected, it doesn't recognize whether it is an external speaker or headphone.

I had that problem too. It was the market app. Try a fix depending on your ROM or reinstall it.

Interesting app, i was really disappointed with the audio output of the note. This should be interesting.
It gives a +10.5dB increase, which is perceived as a doubling of loudness, so if you were disappointed with the loudness of the headphone output before you shouldn't be now. I absolutely require this app to drive my HE-400's (and I guess will need it for my incoming LCD-2's).
I got no market issue when purchase other app. Really want to try this, please advise.

[REQ] Kernel: usbaudio.o

is this what you are looking for? I can make that happen...
Audio Gadget (EXPERIMENTAL) (USB_AUDIO)
CONFIG_USB_AUDIO:
Gadget Audio is compatible with USB Audio Class specification 1.0.
It will include at least one AudioControl interface, zero or more
AudioStream interface and zero or more MIDIStream interface.
Gadget Audio will use on-board ALSA (CONFIG_SND) audio card to
playback or capture audio stream.
Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a
dynamically linked module called "g_audio".

Hmm, that might work? I'm not a developer so I dunno...?
Here, you can get this USB sound card for $1.73 free shipping (ships from Iowa) and then you can easily test it with an OTG cable: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sound-Card-5-1-USB-Audio-Microphone-Adapter-For-Laptop-/370594371214?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item564925568e

This migth be a noob question but what exactly dose this do?
Sent from my SGH-T989D using XDA
To put it simply, a usbaudio.o addition would allow USB host to recognize a generic USB audio device, be it a set of USB speakers, USB car audio, USB sound card or USB headsets.
A few reasons for wanting such a thing would be that you would:
1. Bypass internal sound amplification and digital-analog conversion, so you get cleaner sound if you have the gears to support it,
2. Use USB headsets, speakers, car audio and whatnot, the same way that you would've used them for Win/Mac PCs, now on your phone,
3. Not having to be tied down to the single 3.5mm output as you can now hook your phone to a USB sound card that can get optical out even, and this is more portable than doing so with a laptop or having to resort to a dedicated music player.
@thederekjay: I'd be really grateful if you can implement this in your kernel man. Cyanogenmod 7/9 seem to have this prepackaged, but you can't exactly take Cyanogenmod kernel and slap any random rom on it.
Yep, the big thing that makes me want it is greatly improved sound quality. The Yamaha chip in the T989/Skyrocket is pretty bad, even supercurio (Voodoo Sound) won't touch it. Turning my phone into an über music player will allow me to easily use things like Pandora and the upcoming official BBE player (currently only available on iOS, but I talked to a developer and he said it'll be coming in late spring/early summer for Android devices) while maintaining audiophile-grade sound quality. For a completely portable solution I have the Fiio E7 amp which has built-in USB audio and doesn't drain power from the connection (a workaround for devices that do require power from the USB connection is to use a powered USB hub in-between). However, with this feature you could just as well hook it up to a $10,000 sound system that has driverless USB audio and *still* have audiophile-grade sound quality because it's a purely digital signal.
Now that the T989 ICS source has been leaked I just wanted to remind developers to please consider adding this in. Thanks!

Good to know, I'm not the only one who feels audio is horribly crappy on this phone. I'm not an audiophile but I can feel so much difference comparing mp3 player with it. This was never the case with my older phones like HTC HD2 or Amaze...Boo Samsung

Is gnex Bluetooth 4.0?

I have read that gnex has hardware that supports Bluetooth 4.0, is there a rom or kernel that has enabled it to work or is it even possible?
Thanks in advance

Thanks. The reason I ask is that I saw this on Wikipedia. It states that it is Bluetooth 4.0 hardware compatible. 2nd reason is I bought those Bluetooth speakers with Bluetooth 4 and apt-x support. I just want to maximize it to it's full potential.

Yes. The hardware is bluetooth 4.0 compatible but there's no software support yet. Star the issue to add your vote! ->

Wait wait wait, one moment, i don't understand. The hardware inside GNeX is bt4 but it has driver that doesn't support that but only bt3, is this what are you saying? It sound really strange to me, maybe that statement on wiki means that GNeX can use other hardware with bt4 even if it's bt3 but not at full power, am i wrong?

It'll be clearer if you check out the link in my previous post. Gnex contains a Samsung SWB-B42 BT 4.0 Dual Band Wlan FM Tx/Rx chip so the hardware is there. The thing is the driver that is currently installed on our gnex only has BT3 coded in. And even if the driver utilizes the phone's BT4.0 capabilities, Android in itself doesn't have native APIs to allow developers to take advantage of the new features.
Sorry if i didn't read the whole link but i was at work so, you can understand... Thank you for the very clear explanation, however it's really really strange this behaviour by google...
Will Google/Android ever get BT4/BLE working on the GNex? Or shall we move on to another device if we need/want it?

Audio Chip

Anyone know who makes the chip on this? I'd like to know if it sounds good. I heard the S4 has the Wolfson ones and it sounds incredible. I'm curious how this compares.

This phone uses the integrated audio codec of S4, WCD9310.
http://www.head-fi.org/t/632804/wolfson-wm1811-vs-qualcomm-wcd9310-on-the-galaxy-s3
TL;DR: The Wolfson is better, but using audio mods with ROMs can improve the quality very much.

I haven't used any yet, but I'm pretty happy with the way it sounds out of the box. I have Sennheiser HD428s and the sound is quite pleasant.

[Q] Is there is a ROM or kernel (or ROM/kernel combo) with FULL USB Audio Support?

I'm a relatively new owner of a T-Mobile Note 2. Love the Jedi Master ROM. But I'm still facing my ridiculously frustrating scenario where I have this phone (and a tablet, the Nexus 10), that I want to use my USB DACs with (Fiio E07k and Hifimediy Sabre), but can't unless I use the awful USB Audio Recorder Pro App. I just want to plug in these DACs (via OTG) into either of these devices and enjoy music without having to use that aforementioned app.
Anyone know (for certain, i.e. through personal experience) of a current kernel and/or rom (or rom/kernel combo) that provides FULL USB Audio support for the T-Mobile Note 2? If not "for certain,," how about just from rumors?
Thanks!!

I'd like this option also, but in the meantime, have you tried viper, with the correct IRS file for your headphones of choice.
It's a pretty good alternative to an outboard dac

The issue is not using a USB drive, it's USB Audio, i.e. T-Mobile Note 2 >> USB OTG >> Fiio E07k USB DAC >> Audiophile quality headphones, and not using the USB Audio Recorder Pro App to get that setup to work but rather using that setup and listening to music or whatever through any app. Android phones since 4.0 are capable of this, but I think something in the kernel has to be enabled.
Timur on Rootzwiki did just that for the original Nexus 7, but nobody has stepped up to the plate to do it for many other devices, such as T-Mobile Note 2 (unless I'm mistaken) and Nexus 10. For either of these devices, I'd pay for someone to customize a kernel to allow this.

After more testing, it turns out the problem was the cable. My SGH-T889 works awesomely with my Fiio E07K, in Tweaked ROM with Saber kernel. Not intermediary apps, ask the sound is redirected to the DAC no matter the so you are using. Hope this helps.
And when you don't have the Fiio, Voodoo sound plus DPS manager does the trick as well. I love this phone.

Ashade's suggestion of Tweaked + Sabrekernel did not work (I tried it today. Even tried tweaked by itself and with some other kernels). Thanks for the suggestion though.
But this works, it's that Pac-Man Rom that combines features from a bunch of different roms.

A few weeks ago I got my Nexus 10 to have full USB audio support using a modified CM 10.2 rom. I think the CM guys did something to fix the USB audio issue and I think that's why the rom I am linking here works (so I would suspect CM 10.2 alone would work too, but I don't know that for sure), but man oh man it's awesome to have full USB audio support from my T-Mobile Note 2!

That's weird... I'm still running that. What DAC are you using? It works perfectly with both my Fiio E07K and O2+ODAC combo.

So I didn't update Saber in a while and I noticed they drop voodoo sound by boeffla and some other changes. Maybe that's why it didn't work for you. I'm gonna recheck it with the current version and report back.
Tried it right now with the latest versions of everything and it works flawlessly. No problem whatsoever. It's pretty weird that we are getting different results...

Fiio E07k, but I saw a few of your posts on Head Fi where others said it didn't work for them. What's really funny is that while I ran tweaked + saber for a minutes, one time I put on Google Music and got audio out of my Fiio E07k. I was ecstatic and then tried it again, nothing. Very weird but the rom I linked works perfectly, and is CM 10.2 based, just like the ROM I put on my Nexus 10 Tablet, which also works perfectly now.
Good to know you got it work with something else at least.
