Hello everyone,
Just a quick question, I just purchased a Note II, I'm coming from a Galaxy SII, and regardless of the supposed "poor" sound quality on it I find the Note II sound to be too quiet and to have a big lack of bass, is it normal? Do you people owners of a Note II feel the same or is my unit faulty in that sense? For example my car stereo has an aux in 3.5 mm jack which I used to play music with my SII and now I do it with my NII but there's a huge difference in volume and bass response with the same setting in both phones, volume at maximum and the note II sound so quiet, if anyone could help me I would appreciate it a lot, Btw just to comment, the rest regarding the phone is just awesome, no other bad that I have seen or noticed..
Is anyone going to answer? Please, could anyone tell me if I've got a faulty device or is it normal? Thanks

Just have a quick question regarding audio quality coming from the 3.5mm port. On the original galaxy S2 they used a cheap DAC for audio conversion and the output from it is absolutely terrible. Are you guys experiencing this? Do you get a lot hissing and feedback from the port when it is used? Thanks for responding.

That's good news. I have the galaxy s2 on AT&T right now. I purchased the phone from newegg.com and the sound quality is terrible. I'm glad they fixed this in the us version of gs2.
No hiss. Aux in car or ear buds. My original epic 4g keyboard, had bad feedback.

my sound through the audio jack is also fine. a2dp on the other hand......
Hey guys. Massive love for the note 2. Incredible screen, amazing battery life, so quick and android is a beautiful and great OS. being a Web Developer I can completely manage Web servers via my phone!!! That's crazy.
Anyway the one problem I would love to fix is the low sound output. When I'm playing Spotify through the 3.5mm in my car, it's quite low, and I have to turn my car stereo up high - this causes distortion and makes the sound quality terrible. I've also noticed through headphones, although there is no distortion, sound output is not quiet but it's not too loud.. Anyone know of a fix for this?
To try and self help, I have turned my device up to full volume and made the stream quality 320k on the Spotify stream (thank god for unlimited data)
Thanks for the help
Audio output via headphone socket is now regulated by a stupid EU regulation that restricts the maximum volume - iP5 is the same. Stupid but true - must be a software limiter so I'm sure a workaround will come soon - bet it will need root.
have same problem , i miss my s2 cause of this , hope someone do hack or anything to increase the volume as it should be, used many apps but sound quality sux
same problem here, any solution ?

This should be the thing you need
Thanks for the suggestion. I will try it tonight. Being need to Android, does rooting my device have any negative effects? Also, has anyone tried this volume method and does it work?
Glad I'm not the only one in this boat.
Ahhhh man I feel everyones pain the galaxy note 2 audio out aux out volume is too low and sounds distorted when turned up full.
Please please please does anyone have a non root workaround. I dont believe rooting is the way forward with this beast. Althoug I did with the s2
Many thanks fir all your advice an help in advance
Ps loving the note 2 .... apple taste sour !!!
Hello there guys. Sorry for digging up this old thread but I have created a device to solve this problem if anyone is still struggling with it. Check out my kickstarter called OxAmp.
Hello,
well, since yesterday I've switched to Samsung Galaxy Note II from Samsung Galaxy SIII and what is strange is that the audio output through the 3.5 mm audio jack on the Note is very silent compared to the one on SIII, I mean the SIII is like 3 times louder than Note on this one? Though the phone speaker output is probably louder on the Note II. So any ideas on this? Is it particularly my Note II or is it the usual scenario for all Notes?
Can there something be done about it? I mean even if download a volume booster, it will probably boost both: the audio jack and the phone speaker output, which could lead to damaging my phone speaker eventually?
Any solutions to this problem? I
What file are you listening to? Is it a MP3, FLAC or a movie?
Obvious, but did you make sure to turn the volume up on note2? Samsung has a habit of making its phones and tablets default to half volume when you plug something in.

External Speaker output through audio jack very low
I got that problem too on my Note II, So is there any solution for that to increase the Volume when we connect to the output speaker through the 3.5mm jack (Aux)
Does anybody have any info on the built-in DAC of the Tab S? It sounds better compared to my S3.
Is it a Wolfson or a Yamaha? I suggested the latter as the Exynos Note 3 has a Yamaha DAC and the Tab S uses the same chip as the Exynos Note 3. Though I may be wrong on that, I got it from the head-fi forum.
I've no info at all on the DAC. Mind you, I'm not the type to hang around the headfi forums and listen to pseudo science and nonsense.
What I do find is the headphone output sounds excellent. Some people will want it to go louder if they have hard to drive phones though.
Compared to my htc one s it's probably just a fraction better sounding. I think gsmarena tested the output and it got very healthy results. Apart from the stereo crosstalk, which to me is the least important factor anyway, and on my listening the stereo was perfect, absolutely perfect, not a hint of crosstalk.
Tested using Phonak Audeo PFe's in ear and Creative Aurvava Live 2 headphones.
Hi all,
I've rooted my galaxy tab 3 with odin and need to increase the headphone jack sound output. I beleive it can be done through the system files as ages ago i read somewhere how to do it but cannot find the link anymore. Can anyone help me?
The sound output is really bad with headphones, so much so that i cannot even hear it with headphones on in the plane, i have tried everything else from headphone amplifiers to equaliser apps. After much thought i have decided to go this way.
Cheers.
