[Q] Mono audio? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What are my options for getting mono audio output on this device? On my Galaxy S I was used to have Voodoo. The reason asking is that I am singled sided deaf. I already rooted my phone.
Cheers,
Bloesum .

There is an option in setting can change stereo to mono under accessibility

Briljant! I haven't browsed all options in the settings menu. I would have expected it in the sound section though. But thanks again!

[Q] Music to mono bluetooth head piece.

Hi All, loving my note 2. I used to be able to stream audio using Super BT Mono Froyo Free using my old Motorola Triumph phone, but that app now crashes when I try to run it. I'm assuming because it doesn't work with Andriod 4.1. Any other options out there for using a single ear piece bluetooth to listen to music, or more specifically podcasts on the note 2?
Thanks!

Sorry, found my own answer. BTmono works great, and works with note 2 for anyone wondering. Working with my old Motorola H715.
When I had this sound routing problem with my Droid X I used "Sound Route Switcher Bluetooth" app by omercade. I tried this app with Galaxy Note 2 with no problems. But right now, knock on wood, I don't have any sound routing problems with my Galaxy Note 2, including music to my mono Bluetooth. My Bluetooth device is Plantronics Voyager PRO HD. I am using Plantronics MyHeadset app as well, but I don't believe that you will need that app.
What gets me worried is that I have been reading throughout the Galaxy Note 2 forums that people having sound routing issues within weeks after getting their Galaxy Note 2. This could be just a few flawed devices within their large manufacturing production. But I do wonder.
Guys, I'm not really sure I'm reading the question correctly, but if I am, I want you to know there is an option built right in to TouchWiz for music listeners using mono bluetooth. It's enough to make me stick with Samsung FOREVER. Check the accessibility options, hearing. No more stupid work around, finally!

Stereo not working.

Hi. I searched the forum's and couldn't find anything so here's my problem. I don't seem to be getting stereo output from my tablet.I have tried two headphones and downloaded a few stereo test from youtube and all they are all in mono . I've also been to the tablets settings and everything seems fine there.And before you ask, yes the plug is pushed in all the way.Thanks for any help.
what about stereo through the built-in speakers?
Same thing, mono sound through speakers as well.
Update: Stereo working now. I had to reset the tablet. Thanks for all your help.

Good to hear.
As I was poking around on my tablet, I noticed an accessibility setting that sets the audio to mono, and I thought of your thread.
Is your tablet the 10.1 2014 edition because i didn't see any setting like that on mine.

Yes, it's a new P605. It took me a long time to find it again, as it's in the accessibility settings, not the sound settings.
Settings -> Device -> Accessibility. (Then scroll down to see mono mode).
Yeah... Really easy to find
Lol, thanks dude. You get a thumbs up for that one. I can't believe I missed that in the settings. Obviously I wasn't looking hard enough but thanks again so if it ever happens again, (which shouldn't have happened at all) I'll know where to look.
I also have the same problem. I have the P605 version of tab. I've already ticked and unticked the mono/streo in accessibility but my output for built in speaker is still mono. Only the left speaker is functioning and the right isnt. For the headset, both produces sounds. I cant remember I installed something that have caused this.
Anyone who would like to answer my previous post?

[Q]

When I plug my Earbuds into my Note 4, Sound only comes out of one ear. I tried 2 different set of Earbuds & had the same Results. Then I tried Both sets of Earbuds in my Tab 4 & my Wife's Note 4 & Sound came out of Both Earbuds from Both the Tab 4 & the Note 4. This tells me that the Earbuds are fine & something is Wrong with my Note 4. Does Anyone have ANY IDEA where to Start with trying to fix this Problem??? I do not want to send the Note 4 back (Warranty) I would like to Fix the Problem if that is Possible. Any Ideas? Thanks Jason
Do you have a case on your note 4 that maybe the jack is not getting ample connection just a thought
Settings > Accessibility > Hearing > check out the sound balance to make sure it's in the middle and see if the mono audio box is checked

SoundAlive settings?

Had my 10.5" Tab S for a few months now and really like it aside from one thing...I can't for the life of me figure out if it has Headphone surround. The sound from movies on my headphones via my Kindle HDX 7 is far superior in terms of a pseudo 3D sound stage - this has Dolby Digital built-in.
Reading on-line I see Samsung has something called SoundAlive but I can't see any settings for it except for in the music and default video app. Is there anyway to use in, say, the Plex app which is what I use most of my videos on? Does there even exist a discrete settings app for it?
If not is there a some HRTF software I can install, but not V4A as I'm not rooted.
EDIT: Argh, thought I was in the Q&A section, please feel free to move. I really should know better!
I can access SoundAlive settings via the Samsung Level app

which I use to pair my Level Over headphones. Not sure if you can access the settings another way.

Alas, I've only got wired headphones and that app seems to only work with bluetooth ones.
Thanks tho.
good question as I was looking for something similar for my wired headset, but since im using a gear circle now which has a sound alive option by itself via gear manager, i stopped looking.. i'll be monitoring this thread

Bluetooth audio quality question

Hello. I change phones alot and have noticed that some phones(all android) have better bluetooth playback than others.
I had a oneplus 7 pro before this phone and the bluetooth quality to my truck was great and had no issues but with this phone the highs sounds scratchy or like if the speaker is bad. But if i connect it with a wire connection it sounds great. Everything with the 2 phones is the same. On both i was using the galaxy watch and pretty much the same apps. On a previous phone the note 8 i had the same issue but it was a different car. Seems like its the way samsung handles bluetooth.
Has anyone had this issue? If so was there a fix?
Thanks
make sure not on mic

What do you mean?
The only two things I think about is the codec used that may be different across devices, and the Bluetooth settings that sync the phones volume with the headset (the differences are noticeable).
Since no DAC is used in Bluetooth, I don't think it can comes from them, for a same headset.
On Samsung phones you should run the adapt sound process. Try this.
I tried with the sync volume off too and no improvement.
I looked for the adapt sound and my phone doesn't have that setting. Or is it something different?
It's in Sounds and Vibration 》 Advanced Sound settings 》Sound Quality and effects 》 Adapt sound
You have to do this in a quiet place and ensure to answer honestly. If you can't hear the beeping press no.
After doing this the sound quality is night and day difference.
Ok found it. Ill play with it a bit. Thanks
I've had issues sometimes with audio being piped through the "Calls" Bluetooth channel versus the "Audio" channel so worth checking as the quality is obviously night and day.
I also like enabling Dolby Atmos on my Note 10+ for music so worth playing with too. Additionally, I recently found Samsung's Sound Assistant app which let's you customize a bunch of sound settings so worth checking out as well:

Is there an easy way to tell if the audio is going through the call channel?

Easiest is probably just uncheck calls in your phones BT settings for your truck (and make sure audio is enabled). If the sound is still not great then this isn't the issue.
Sorry to respond to an old thread, but I was wondering if any of this fixed the OP's problem. I followed all the recommendations here and on other threads but have not been able to solve my recent Bluetooth audio problem. The sound has been terrible lately.
Same issue here on my s10+. When playing any audio in my car via BT i hear the distortion/hissing noise especially when the song has a higher treble frequency.
I have just about tried all fixes i could find on Google, and no luck.
When connecting to my ear buds (Jabra Elite 65t) it disappears and checked in developer mode that it supports to AAC for BT Codecs.
But when connecting to the car it reverts to SBC.
The issue clearly lies on Samsungs side, as my brother has a Huawei p30 Pro, also has bluetooth 5 and plays amazingly well in all aspects (Bass-Mids-Treble).
I know I'm posting this almost a year later, but i am desperately looking for a fix.
SN. I have recently updated my phone to Android 10, despite all the complaints to Samsung from many users... Sadly this issue has not being fixed on my side.
From what i see online, people have given up on Samsung and opted for Rooting their Samsungs and installing Viper4Andriod.
Has any one done this and can confirm that it fixed the issue?
