GUIDE - How to improve music quality

It seems that I've found the perfect combination of eq settings to help improve sound quality. The issues most face with the standard music player configuration is having to put up with tinny sounds and a flat soundstage which simply put - degrades your sound! And most become oblivious to the low quality sound over time. How horrible! But with a few changes sound can be clearer and after applying these tweaks, you will certainly hear the difference. With a few settings taken from here and there at xda and blended together and tweaked, my music played via the galaxy s2 really does now sound alot better.. A result of a clearer low end, no apparent distortion at max volume (and oh boy is it louder, thanks to volume+) , a more apparent seperation between the mid ranges/highs.. For once there's a distinction in the music and the separation of sounds can be heard rather than the usual muffle. I've tested this combination of apps/settings with both high quality flac files and 256kbps mp3s and it certainly brings out the colour in each song. I produce/compose film/trance music so I'd like to think I've a good ear.
Right, where do I begin.?
You will need 3 apps - Power amp, Equalizer and Volume +, installed to begin. Each application is free. The purpose of each app is as follows.
Poweramp - A top music player with eq functionality
Equalizer - To further enhance eq levels
Volume+ - To give the sound more legroom and boost sound levels
Power amp - http://market.android.com/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer
Equalizer - http://market.android.com/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer
Volume + - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=645858&d=1309854453
Simply apply the settings as shown in the below screenshots.. Follow exactly for best result.

Equalizer -
Volume+ -
If you find the highs a tad too sharp, drop the treble slightly in Poweramp.
To achieve a deeper bass, in volume+, set the bass to +5 but try not to go much higher as the sound quality will impair.
To higher the volume use Poweramp and higher the amp slider by a tiny amount and to avoid distortion do not let it go past the midway mark.
Drop the 8k slider down in poweramp to help reduce the sharp frequencies, which can hurt the ears sometimes running at a high volume. If using external speakers rather than headphones, these settings may push the sound to distortion, so be sure to set volume+ to external speaker mode for best possible effect.
Currently using Volume+ may lead to fc's when making a call, even though the fc occurs, the effect of Volume+ should still be active, currently theres no workaround as i'm aware.
If you believe you've found an even better combination of settings then please share! Just remember to post which earphones/headphones you're using.
Update : download "audioboost sgs2" from the market and set the desired volume level to around "82" for a cleaner amplified sound, this works better than volume+ for most people.

Please give feedback whether or not these settings work well with your headset.

testing on my expensive high quality Shure headphones and will report back.

good job. Sound good now. Since my Shure headphones are capable of making deep base and mid base, i increased the Bass in Poweramp to the 3 o'clock position instead of your at 12 o'clock, and Also 5+ in bass in Volume+

Bass UGH UGH UGH .

Wow, nice guide, now my phone sound better then before!!

I like the effect this combination gives.
BUT I have major issue with Volume+ and not sure whats the reason for it. It crashes once I plug in my headset.
using PowerAMP + Eq + VolumePlus
it looks like a conflict between Equalizer and Volume+
anyone having similar issues?

yeah, it happen to me too, but mine was when i am dialing someone and when its connected then the error will appear(happen once in a while) but i just press the force close its still able to connect but its not a major problem for me as its still work its just annoying

Untick Resume/Pause on headset disconnection/connection in Poweramp headset options.

Already tested it - pausing or resuming setting off doesnt affect it. Another thing is volume+ will crash when changing settings while the Eqalizer preset is enabled. Preset disabled - everything works fine...

Tweaks work great thanks! Not quite as nice as my Galaxy Tab with Voodoo but SGS2 sounds definitely less flat and less muddy. Volume+ doesn't seem to actually do anything though to sound quality so I might just ditch that.

this setting wont work nice when i plug in an external Bose speakers... Bose speakers suck with builtin preamp and low bass output power. I changed to "external speaker" preset in the equalizer and it works great!

Hi,
testing now
I find Volume+ does not make a big diff
Having a good sound is not an easy one on that device,
Thank you for sharing your findings
I used to configure only PowerAmp - my best music player ever !
Adding a little tast of "equalizer" seems to provide something better
Will continue listening an see
Thanks !

Rockbox for Android - Unleash your music!

Sure some of you have heard or even used Rockbox before, my Sansa Clip rockboxed sounds off the hook! Well you may or may not know Rockbox is also available for Android, unstable officially but some clever geniuses have already ported it and made an application for this some time ago.
Sure it may not have a fancy interface but I can live with that! We all know the SGS2 is not one of the greatest sounding phones out there especially after Supercurio magically enhanced the first version of the device with his great Voodoo control! Samsung let us down in v2 by getting rid of the Wolfson chip, however not all is lost, as users have discovered KI3 firmware 2.3.5 and kernel improves sound compared to previous versions!
Pair it up with this app and prepare to enjoy some loud decent sounding music! Well that depends on what your ears are wearing! My collection of headphones sound great.
Credits to RockBox for their commitment in bringing us better sound, and credits to Rasher for his app!
Download 480x800 version from here: http://rasher.dk/rockbox/android/

Its purely a music player no fancy features, no lyric supports, it won't download your music art, rockbox is simple with the ability to customise the sound via its eq.

No problem, rockbox is generally good!

I usually use Power Amp coupled with Equalizer app from the market and that is usually decent enough how would this compare to that?
thanks

Give it a try, this has it's own EQ which is highly customisable. Even on stock settings with the new KI3 kernel and my headphones it sounds good.

I always liked rockbox, used it on my old iPod alot back in the day. However, sorry, but sound quality wise, it doesn't come close to galnet miui + poweramp + dsp manager.

It's soooo sweet. Now that I almost lost all hope for SGSII's audio this little Rockbox port comes up. Sound quality is so much better than with any other player/dsp. And that's without messing with any settings/eq, just pure audiophile sound... OK, maybe I'm getting a bit carried away but the improvement is definitely there. Thanks a lot, nikzDHD for the tip and the Rockbox crew for this wonderful app.

it sounds just a bit cleaner than poweramp, as I've said before though my biggest draw to poweramp is being able to assign EQ settings to different albums. Really helps for quiet tracks

Yes, to my ears it's exactly that - cleaner, more realistic sound. Bass is definitely more punchy and tighter. There's more background detail. As if they somehow improved the whole headphone amp hardware of SGSII. Don't know how they did it but can't complain Some records sound maybe a bit dry compared to stock player or PowerAmp but even then I just can't resist the clearer presentation of Rockbox. The real downside is that I'm starting to wonder how much more I'm missing from the music using a crappy (SQ-wise) phone and fairly cheap IEMs

[Q] Unlink notifications and ringtone volume?

Has anyone found a way or an app to unlink the ringtone and notification volume? This is a real deal breaker for me. I need to find a way to be able to set the phone on a "phone only" mode at night so that only the ringer is on.
This is a new issue with ICS. It was available on older version of android.

I've been searching for this as well; so far nothing. Audiomanager (pro) can't set them individually. I guess we'll have to wait for custom ROMs or a Google update to get the 'old' behavior back.

I'm pretty sure they changed it after froyo.

With Gingerbread 2.3.3 on my Galaxy Ace I was able to set volume for notifications and ringer individually.

This is killing me. I need to set just the ringing on without having notifications make noise. Does anyone have any ideas?

same issue here. I solved it by downloading a silent mp3 and adding it to my notifications folder. I can then choose it within the profile app I use for my sleep profile. phone still rings but notifications are using the silent mp3.hth I use "profile" but same strategy should work with any similar app.

Yeah, this really annoys me too. My ringtone is plenty loud with the Volume+ app. Only notifications are still very quiet. Really need to boost the notification volume without blowing out the speaker with my ringtone!
I suppose one could just record a louder notification mp3.
But it's a workaround for something that shouldn't need a workaround!

Try downloading Quick Settings from the market. They allow you to adjust the notifications volume separate from the ring volume. They have six different volumes you can set.

It's a cool program, but unfortunately the two are inextricably linked. Quick settings lets you pretend to set different levels, but it doesn't stick. Try having separate volume levels, close that setting, and open it again.
OS problem unfortunately. Really short sighted of them to remove a clearly useful feature.

I ended up doing this too. The only issue here is all apps have to now use the default notification tone or they will not go to silent. I guess this will have to work for now.
what profile app are you using?

This doesn't work in ICS. The two volumes are linked for some dumb reason.

Hoping for a fix on this one soon as well. I need to be able to hear my notifications when I am at work but I can't have my ringer going off at obscenely loud levels.

Same here, really hoping they bring back that functionality to unlink notification and ringer volume.
For me the ringer volume is too low, so I want it on max, but then my notifications are extremely loud and I really don't need the whole office to know I just got an email/text/tweet etc.!

bump to see if anyone has found a way to do this.

Solution
Hi all,
This has been bugging me since moving to ICS also, so I wrote an app to work around it! I just published it today.
Market link: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.brianhislop.icsringervolume
It's still a work in progress, but it's fully functional and gives (I believe) a good solution to this issue!
Cheers,
Slopppy.

Come on, people, star the issue in google code and let's push google to fix this issue
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23117
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23202

Has this been fixed in Jellybean or are notification and ringer volumes still linked?

I'm not running JB, but from what I've heard it's the same as ICS.

necro bump
I have been using an app called "Smart Sound Profiles".
Finally I'm able to have separate ringer and notification volumes!
It is a paid app, but there is a free trial version to try it out for a few days.
It works like a charm on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus on JB 4.1.1
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tartar.soundprofiles

Update to jellybean, not sure about stock but every custom jellybean rom i have tried gives you the option to decouple notifications from ringer, also some custom roms have an option to custom preset a quiet time period start time and end time, i have not tried it myself but believe there are other settings in quiet time to further customize sound output. Jellybam 3.3.0 had it i am pretty sure but check latest features and changelogs in jellybam thread OP, there are plenty of good jellybean roms with these features and jb is far better than ics my current rom whilst totally excellent and ultra fast doesnt support quiet time but has the delink notifications option.

[Q] What is status of GNex volume issue?

I bought a GNex when it came out but had to return it because of the volume issue -- I couldn't hear calls, GPS navigation, etc. But I kept tabs on the GNex because otherwise it's a great phone. I saw that Volume+ worked for awhile but latest JB update broke it.
Anyway, I'm thinking about buying a used GNex and giving it another try. What's the current status of volume levels on the GNex -- both stock and custom ROMs? I prefer stock but will go custom if it really solves the problem.

I have a gnex . low volume issue can be fixed easily . a few options to fix it:
1) download zedge app , it has cool ringtones and notification sounds and more. Pick loud ones. Problem solved
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5ldC56ZWRnZS5hbmRyb2lkIl0.
2) Download a ringtone maker app , u can use the music you downloaded onto your phone as ringtones and notifications .
Any app that you can download ringtones and notifications from is good.

The Gnex has a volume issue?, mine is very loud without any mod, maybe its rom related?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I used to have this problem but with the newer roms I haven't noticed any of these problems. I do flash xlouder that is in the apps and theme section and it does help a lot.

The only volume issue I have is YouTube videos are impossible to hear.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

I haven't had any problems with the volume on my GNex but if you do come into some sort of problem maybe try downloading an application like Volume+, that should raise the volume.

My gnex with rasbeanjelly rom + trinity kernel is very loud even without the volume performance adjustment for the trinity kernel. (trinity kernel allows three levels of extra volume boost)

AFAIK most CM10 based ROMs has boosted volume, perhaps some others too. Also we have at least two flashable mods in development section.

Install a custom kernel and install the louder patch available at the development section. That will give you a louder sound on speaker, headphones and earpiece.

Thanks for all the replies and great tips. I'm definitely going to be picking one up then.

Personally, I want to modify the volume from within the stock based ROM I'm running. I do not have an interest in custom ROMs and would prefer not to have to use an app. No one seems to have a legitimate solution to share.

No sense being a smart ass. You have it exactly right. I do not want a custom ROM in any way shape or form. I simply want to integrate the volume adjustment into the stock ROM, which I'm assuming is what you just linked, but I haven't checked it yet.
Also, a higher max volume output isn't a "feature". Perhaps you should refer to a dictionary before attempting being a smart ass.

AndroidAuto low volume

Does anyone face issues with low volume or lack of audio quality when using android auto?
I mean sound is ok, but its not as loud as other devices i used with AA.
I have tried the internal equalizer and dolby atmos, it helps a little but still not the same.
I have also tried the app EqualizerFX and so far seems better but not 100%.
Do you use any other method or app for this.
I am on the brink of rooting and going for Viper, but thats my last resort

i use poweramp pro ... it boost volume and bass for my buds - works a treat and it downloads the album art and instantly adds it to the track - quite nice

Have you upted the Bluetooth setting to loud.
In the media playback mode goto setting / sound setup/volume setup/Bluetooth audio.
Makes a huge difference on mine when using amazon music etc......

1. Bluetooth on the phone has its own volume setting, I hope you pressed that volume up button on the phone, then said "OK" to earpiercing warning, and then pressed volume button up again until you reached max
2. Dullness of sound cannot be cured with any settings on the phone - in Bluetooth original data just streamed to the car (being compressed/decompressed along the way)
3. You can still play with audio setting to affect headphone jack quality - it helped me.

yes i know that.and yes that was basically the first thing i did.
and btw this issue with Android auto is not to do with bluetooth or jack.. it uses usb dac to stream auto and control to the AA interface.
anyways, as said Viper4Android sorted my issue, as it processes audio differently to the stock audio processing.
same as poweramp, has its own audio processing, also for usb dac
