Sound equalizer problem

Hi all,
Hoping for a little bit of help here. I'm running the Google Music app on a stock Nexus Galaxy (4.0.1 yakju) and for whatever reason I can't access the bass boost or 3D effect buttons on the equalizer. They are blanked out. I can change the dB levels on the different frequencies but the two aforementioned buttons remain fixed and inaccessible.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you.

I assume you already did try restarting the device.
Any other equalizers or the like installed that could interfere with it?

Good tip. Thx.
Already restarted the phone and I don't have any other music apps or equalizers installed. So that kinda leaves me at square 1.

Weird.
Only thing I can think of right now is: go into settings > apps, find which music related apps are running and try deleting their data and cache. Or try force closing them and reboot again.

You need to have a pair of headphones plugged in to access the EQ I believe.

This is correct, you must have either the aux port plugged in or headphones.. I can't remember if it works with my Bluetooth speaker or not.. I wanna say it does but I'm not certain.

Guys, thanks for the replies.
You were right. I just plugged in a pair of headphones and the bass boost + 3D effect became responsive.
Thanks again for the help

Loud interference while listening to music.

Recently while I listen to music with headphones I get this random extremely loud buzzing sound that scares the crap out of me when I'm listening to music quietly. I haven't really been able to find the exact cause but have noticed that it usually happens when my phone is pulling data such as when I open a website. Seems to happen on Wifi. I use 3 different headphones and it has happened on all of them. Had this happened to anyone else? I'm currently on gummy 0.9.0 with Franco's milestone 2.

had it on aokp and cm9 but only when streaming music/downloading music and surfing the web (all done over 4G[verizon]) I just figure the phone is freaking out trying to handle it all.

I was reading up and it might be due to dsp manager. Did you have dsp installed and active on those roms?

Happens on the first few tracks I attempt to stream (via subsonic) almost every time. I wonder if any android phone will ever catch up to the iphone in music/audio quality/playback.

My trusty Fascinate definitely surpasses the iPod/iPhone in all of that with voodoo sound as well as louder volume.

I notice Volune+ is really noisy when listening to music at low volumes. If I disable it, the noise is gone.

Galaxy S with Voodoo Sound did it

Have you tried enabling high performance audio with a custom kernel like glados/leankernel/franco? It really improved S/N ratio when listening to quiet music.

Give player pro with the dsp pack a shot, its all I run and my phone is my mp3player and I use it through my setup in my car...hard to beat..and I'm an audiophile so I'm crazy picky...you won't be disappointed

I actually disabled that because I thought it might be the issue but it still happened. I ended up disabling DSP manager and the audio often cuts out when I'm pulling data but doesn't make that loud ass noise.

Giving it a shot now. Sounds much better than Google music. Not sure if it will stop the music interruptions but I'll see.

Well everything so far has been a lie. Using player pro and that loud noise happened twice while I was downloading power amp from the play store. So it can't be DSP manager since I have it frozen with titanium.
Edit: I'm on wifi for the first time today so that could be another culprit. I listened to music for an hour straight earlier over 3G/4G and it hadn't happened at all.

Sorry man, I'm not sure, are your cables all good..any shorts or anything?

Bringing this back into the light as it is still an issue. I flashed BAMF earlier today after getting fed up with the Noise problem and found that it still exists. back on CM9 if I switch the number of background processes to one (under developer options) I was unable to recreate it. So it seems to be a memory issue. For those that haven't heard the problem, plug in some headphone or an AUX cable into your stereo start playing some music, open some apps, then go to the browser and surf. When a page is loading Scroll around really fast and zoom in and out a lot. Load pages back to back try a few different pages and its bound to happen. Try image heavy pages.

Hi, I've been following this thread and decided to add to the muddle.
I bought an inexpensive portable stereo dock for my Incredible 2, made by Auvio, and got a subscription to Slacker so I could stream music while I worked (I'm a massage therapist).
It uses a short coaxial cable terminated in a 2.5mm stereo plug to connect to my phone, and sounds pretty good for only having 1" diameter speakers. It worked well with my Incredible 2.
Two weeks later I find out Verizon is going to take away my "unlimited" data plan unless I upgrade to 4G, so I got my Galaxy Nexus.
Now when I try to use the GN with my dock, I keep hearing data noise in the speakers as the app grabs & buffers the music. This didn't happen with the Dinc2.
If I move the phone or touch the cable, it reduces, but doesn't eliminate the noise. It does not happen with headphones or the GN's speaker.
Does anyone think this could be related to the issues discussed here? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This happens to me also when my phone is in heavy use or anything that makes the CPU run high.

old post quoting here
But this reminds me of the exact noises i hear when using ondemand governor with parameters tweaked , it caused the cpu to apparently change frequencies too many times in to short a time span....it was like a loud buzz/crazy reverb type sound.
Hasn't happened once when using interactive

I've had it with both interactive and conservative . I'm currently on the linaro aokp 38 build and I've not had it happen yet (flashed the linaro update today). Before I flashed the linaro update I was on normal aokp 38 and had the problem. A little more testing needs to be done but maybe the linaro tweeks are cause a little more stability in the memory .

Seems like the problem is that, while the music is playing "in any app" its not being givin "High Priority" over the apps in the background or foreground. For example, if you jump to the browser and load a page that requires a large amount of CPU usage, the will cause the CPU to make the music app audio lag which might be the loud screech noise as a result when the music app looses priority.
While music is playing it should have higher priority so the phone doesnt lag the audio if that makes sense.
Thats my guess on whats going on, because it only happens when my phone is multi tasking or taking on CPU load in another app.
Like I also said previously it has happen to me so far on CM9 nightly with that kernal that came with it, and also on blackice and the kernal that came with black ice. also had the problem with the Samurai kernal.

Samsung AUX/Headphones sound problem! HELP

I don't know if everyone have the same problem but everytime i use a wired headset or AUX cable the sound of the music seperate.
when the headset is inserted in the headphone jack:
everytime i listen to a music, youtube or any video with beats, i hear only the music but filter the voice somehow.
is there anything in the settings that can be adjusted or something?

Well some more things are needed, are you on stock, a custom rom, etc...?

I have read of at least one phone having a bad jack. Could be the case. Most sprint tech stores can repai that in store.

currently i am running jellybomb rom but i had the same happen with stock

If you have DSP or other music manager even in your music player or equalizer check for headset then see if any setting is check like vocal or voice which separates music and vocals, hope this helps.

Volume limiting sucks

Is there anything that can be done about the volume limiting when playing music in the car. It is really irritating to have music playing and two seconds later, the volume get adjusted back by the phone. Does this while using Poweramp. Anyone else having this issue or have a fix?

That seems to have made an improvement. I'm sure it will be even better when I get the phone plugged up to the car stereo. Thank you.
Edit 1: Tried it in the car and still the volume resets. It does however, increase the volume otherwise. Just not when connected to the car via headphone out jack. Poweramp seems to be the culprit as other music apps doesn't have this issue.
Edit 2: Installed Volume+...Follow the steps to get it and Poweramp to work together...Everything is working fine now. Thanks!:good:

increase sound bluetooth headset

Hello everyone, as the title, how can I further increase the earpiece volume? because at the moment if I put the sound you hear at most up
sorry for my writing but I write from google translator
thank you in advance

can someone help me please

Not sure if this will help you, but I use a blueparrot bt250 headset and its plenty loud. I'm a truck driver by trade and it works well both hearing me on the other end and me being able to hear in the noisy environments I use my phone. Here is the website. http://www.vxicorp.com/solutions/blueparrott-bluetooth-mobile

unfortunately for the use that I have to do is too expensive, I use it when I have to do some traveling in the car, then a few times; I was looking for an application to increase slightly the audio so you feel good even if there are many noises

I'm sure there are apps for that or hacks. I don't memorize any that I can say.

time ago I found an app like this but I could not use it because it took root permissions, but I do not remember his name

In case you're streaming Bluetooth from a cell phone and notice the sound quality take a plunge, attempt this: Close any applications you have running that tap your gadget's Wi-Fi, cell, or GPS associations particularly those that stream information, in the same way as Spotify or Youtube. These can meddle with the Bluetooth indicator. In case you're utilizing a music application, set it to download tunes ahead of time instead of streaming them continuously. Otherwise you have installed Volume+ on your device, you can navigate to Settings > Sound > Music Effects and activate Volume+. Then, you can launch the app itself to customize speaker/in-call/headset settings. You can choose pre-included EQ settings and personalize your own.
