FAQ:
How to get the best sound quality ?
The best quality for headphone is obtained:
1/ by setting the Android digital sound level to the maximum or close to it
2/ then using the new analog level to choose the sound pressure that suits your needs
This way, you will get the lowest hiss, best signal-to-noise ratio and lowest distortion.
Original post:
Hello
My first bounty, lagfix is a success so here I am again!
Galaxy S line phone have a few sound issues and as a sound junkie I'm working on improving things with Voodoo sound
Here is what I'm implementing for the first Voodoo sound release:
Headphone amp analog gain:
Reduce the hiss or give you a much louder output. Configurable from very low levels to very high.
Already tested with sensitive in-ear very prone to hiss and brilliantly confirmed with Sennheiser high-end 300 Ohms headphones.
Hardware Parametric equalizer:
Change the frequency response to correct your headphone deficiencies or to adjust the sound how you like. Use 0 battery and work on every sound source. 100% configurable
Hardware 3D effect:
Finally, a good specialization effect. Can improve sound-stage if used wisely. Configurable.
Here is the link to Voodoo sound source repository if you are curious about it.

Those are new features, exciting capabilities your phone didn't had before
Galaxy S phone is at the top of the line about sound capabilities because it uses a high end Wolfson WM8994 sound codec.
That's why it's worth it.
I receive already a lot of a few feature asking to fix things, and it's not what i intended to do.
If you have a feature request or suggestion please
explain it in this topic
tell how much you can support the dev effort.
I can be crazy features request. Who knows, sometimes crazy stuff can be done
Then I'll do my best to work on it and you'll vote with donations if you are satisfied with it.

Your turn!

Good luck curio!! Thanks again for the wonderful work on #project-voodoo.
You already know my feature request - my Sennheisser iphone headset working again on the Galaxy S would be awesome. From what I read, here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713350 the ground and mic is reversed on iphone headsets which keep them from working on Galaxy S - if they can be remapped internally, I'd presume it works.
Will be sure to donate some $ if that happens or if in fact i like the difference i hear on what comes off these changes. Good luck again!
PS: $15 for the headphone fix AND an indeterminate $ for how much I like the other changes

Possible ideas:
1) Change headphone-out to line-out
2) use headphone jack for spdif to go 3.5mm mono out on phone to coax in on external dac -> send up to 24/96 to external dac
$25 per item

good work
A louder speakerphone and earphone.
I can't wait for beta 5. It will blow us away!!!

how about an Equalizer in the ringtone?? So I can choose "Music Clarity" profile for my ringtone, I don't need heavy bass for my ringtone
Any app can do it (Eg. rings extended app which allows you to select ur own mp3 as ringtone)

Heyho! There's something that has been bugging me all the time. It's the sensitivity of the built in microphone. For example if you record videos in a very loud environment (like concerts for example) you only hear noise on playback. Is there any way for auto adjustment of the mic sensitivity, or at least a way to do this manually?
I would donate 15$ for some fix for this issue

One sound related issue that always annoyed me is that the sound seems to work in the old OSS way, that is only one application may give sound at one. For instance, if you listen to music and you get a SMS, then the music is paused while the notification is playing.
is it possible to make them play simultaniously?

I had to delete a lot of videos which I made on a concert because the sound was completely distorted. The mic is definitely too sensitive.

One thing really pissed me is that whenever I use 3G for exp: surf web or update apps in market.
My westone always gives me a static noise similar to when you have a phone call near the speaker. But if I switch to a cheap earphone this go away. I want to use my fav ear phone on my sgs . 15 bucks for a fix. Thank you
And by the way my sgs sound a bit too loud not too soft like others :-?

€15.00 (already promised another €10.00 from before developments of Voodoo Sound.. so +€5.00 for this feature)

How about sorting out A2DP? Audio streaming is absolutely useless on this (and from what I can tell quite a few Android devices).
I'd be more than willing to donate £15

£5 gbp bounty from me

I really don't mind the current loudness of the volume. I think the limits are there for a reason, but of course I would support any work done to improve the quality of the audio

Would it be possible to transfer calls to the media/ringer/notifications output so that the headphones can hear it?

God curio's at it again. But seriously, we can't thank you enough for voodoo lag fix and I now can't wait for voodoo sound! The Galaxy S' audio just isn't up to the standards it should be..

make it so the audio of a phone call comes through the headphones. when i plug my phone into my car via 3.5mm jack for listening to music it's fine. but when a call comes through, the call plays through the handset (and not on speaker phone either).
$15

Moving On?

Hi Curio,
I think you have done a phenominal job on the Lagfix Ext4 Data Conversion, but I'm not convinced that it's completely optimized or "fixed".
Heres why:
I use Touchdown with exchange among a few other Database stuff, and i still see a lot of lag on this device when using these apps.
I'm not sure what folder is used for Touchdown(probably Database) but there is still much lag there. If some apps use folders other than the Data Folder we still have some lag... Do you agree?
When you converted to EXT4 it was only the Data Folder correct? Is this the only directory able to be converted? Dont our apps use other directoryies?
When I used the ext2 fix(Briefly) I believe there were three or four folder converted. Doing this fixed the lag completely on my phone, but I agree with you that it's not the safest filesystem after my research.
So, my question, Why cant you do the same EXT4 Conversion for several other folders that are important to IO "Read" and "Writes"
Is there some stability or issues with doing this?
By the way,
If you could fix the sound issues on my phone, I'd have 50 dollars for you the same day.
Take care and Great Work!

STOP THAT BLOODY "HEY I'VE CHARGED" NOTIFICATION AT 3AM !!!!!
as you may have noticed this winds me up a bit, having elderly folks putting the phone to silent at night is not an option

Here is my Port of my original Sound MOD from Xperia S thread started in April wich is now supposed to work on all phone
Here is the link to original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609868
Don't forget that Beats is not only a thing to have louder Bass it is a lot more than this you'll have a clearer deeper sound (in general) and way better feel of music​
This MOD includes:
- Surround Sound Support
- ClearBass support
- Xloud suipport
- Alsa support
- Dolby Digital support
- Walkman Audio technology from Walkman Z
- Walkman Player
- DSP Manager
- Google Music Player
The result from stock firmware is:
- Louder sound volume in speaker and in earphone
- Clearer, Deeper and better Bass Effect
- Audio resampling
- clear treeble (no distortion)
- more sound frequencies (41KHZ with walkman audio and up to 96KHZ with alsa!)
- better quality on low quality song (128kbps)
- The Bass isn't lounder than treeble and vocal so you won't have only Bass on your music (don't panic )
- new EQ from Beats featured HTC phones (so no need to change preset with in-app EQ this MOD already have the right EQ)
- more EQ preset in Music app
- Better experience of music (Don't forget that you need good hearphone to notice all the change, better are your earphone, better are the music this will never change!)
- and a lot more I forgot
THIS MOD IS IN ALPHA STAGE FOR NON- XPERIA PHONE SO I NEED TESTERS TO BE SURE IT STABLE ON EACH DEVICES
I really need your feedback since I don't own an HTC One X
Here is the link for Test built: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31461757&postcount=943

this is great! thanks

okay thanks for ur tennis and football I end it here

Thanks for your test version. Xloud does not work but the sound on earphones works great. It's clear and good bass. I used the aroma install. I use aokp rom.

96khz is impossible bro! Chipset on hox only Support 48khz max.
Btw, it looks like a copy of zeros mod. Just sayin' ...

To all non-snapdragon chipset, I'll update my MOD to get working non-xperia option correctly it seems it cause issue on SGS3 'cause of bad block choosen to mount /system in updater.script

Should work for SGS phones and HOX

Special PowerAmp PureX+ Presets:
PureXPsychoRealism+ - Just like PureXPsychoRealism; this preset enhances bass effectively (Increased 30Hz - 60Hz bands), enhances treble by increasing 16k band and 8k whilst keeping clarity by reducing 500k, 1k and 2k bands. This is a more precise version of normal PureXPsychoRealism.
General Audio Effects (Equalizer presets only in Sound Enhancements):
PureXPsychoRealism - Experience realistic audio, rich deep bass and realistic acoustics. Best acoustics and bass you will ever hear. (This is best used on Headphones)
PureXHiClarity - Listen to Clarity like never before, from Ultra high frequencies to crystal clear vocals. This is clarity at it's best. (This is best used on earphones)
PureXBeats - Optimized and fine-tuned for Beats by Dr Dre headphones/earphones. Get rid of that terrible 'muddy' sound beats headphones/earphones produce by too much bass, hear more clarity in your Beats headphones/earphones.
Common Effects:
PureXDynamics is a more effective way to minimize volume differences (Like the Dynamic Normalizer) Acts like a audio limiter, it's a more safer way to listen to audio as it softens the other instrument volumes down so that every instrument can still be heard.
Speaker Effects (System-Wide when enabled):
PureXIntenseBLAST - Greatly enhance audio volume of internal speaker (Modded version of xLOUD)
PureXHiFi - Greatly enhance audio quality of internal speaker (Modded version of ClearPhase)
Don't be fooled by your Settings saying ClearPhase and xLOUD in sound settings still, they are just the names, they will still produce the exact same effect as the two above but it is renamed in Walkman Sound Enhancements however
If you are using the phone in a different language OTHER than English, please note that User-Defined 1 is PureXPsychoRealism, User-Defined 2 is PureXHiClarity and Custom is PureXBeats
These effects can all be enabled through Sony Walkman Sound Enhancements.

NOTE: DO NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THE MODS IN THIS THREAD IN ROMS WITHOUT MY PERMISSION! I WILL ONLY ASK ONCE, IT IS MANDATORY THAT YOU PM ME OR NOTIFY ME BEFORE YOU PUT THIS IN YOUR ROM OR OPEN ANOTHER THREAD SOMEWHERE ELSE ON XDA,LAST WARNING. ANY THREADS OPENED WITHOUT LETTING ME KNOW WILL BE REPORTED IMMEDIATELY!
NOTE 2: It SHOULD work with all Xperia Firmware-Based ROMs, not so sure about AOSP roms as I have a lock bootloader and therefore I cannot try them out. Please do not constantly ask if it will work for a specific rom, Try before you ask.
NOTE 3: PLEASE! FOR YOUR OWN SAFTEY, MAKE A NAND BACKUP FOR YOUR ROM! I WILL NOT BE GIVING INSTRUCTIONS TO UNINSTALL.
NOTE 4: This mod will work for Locked/Unlocked Bootloaders as long as you have a custom recovery.
NOTE 5: The speaker's audio quality becomes worse as you increase volume, this is because our speaker cannot output good audio quality at loud volumes.It is impossible to keep audio quality and loud volume because of out hardware. The HTC One has a dedicated Amp inside it's chipset which amplifies audio better with more sound, that is why new HTC phones can have very loud speaker volume with good speaker audio quality.
NOTE 6: Sometimes, if you play music, it could take a few seconds to let Sound Enhancements load your settings (This is normal)
NOTE 7: If you are on another device and is using Xperia Z version (The updated version of this soundmod and not PureXAudioLITE) Don't be mistaken that all features work, because it just won't. My audio mod is specifically made for the APQ8064 chipset and WCD9310 DAC (MPQ8064 audio too) the features will not ALL work because every device has different hardware/software, even if it install fine, not all features will work. Don't get confused.
NOTE 8: I advise everyone to go onto XZDualRecovery as it's the only recovery (As I am aware of) which has native init.d installed directly in it's ramdisk just so you can use the init.d scripts in my mod. (Only applies to locked bootloaders)
NOTE 9: If you are having audio skipping issues, make sure that you exclude: Walkman (If you have 2 Walkman apps, select the second one), PureXAudio Engine and MusicFX in STAMINA Mode so that the phone will not try and make it inactive. If you have Skipping in any other music player, add that in the exclude list of Stamina mode.
NOTE 10: Hearing impairment is caused by volumes higher then 85dB as stated in Wiki "If one is exposed to loud sound (including music) at high levels or for extended durations (85 dB A or greater), then hearing impairment will occur." If you feel uncomfortable when hearing music, I strongly advise you to either turn down the volume or have a rest.

Downloaded and flashed it ...but..
Sound enhancements are not working, when in settings under sound sound enhancements dont open at all
In walkman mode sound enhancements also dont open
Plus, it says in the OP that the overall sound coming out of the internal speaker has been increased but again, I did not feel any difference at all, please make this happen since as always internal speaker of the Z1 also is very weak therefore please, increased sound from the internal speaker for ringtones and notifications and increase sound from the in-call speaker greatly will be really nice...
Also, upload the stock sound file in CWM flashable format as well so if anyone wants to go back to stock...I know backup restore from TB should haven been done or backuy CWM or TWRP but I did not do any of those ... CWM & TWRP will reboot after 40 seconds so no use in making a backup for now, plus since my 64GB card is on its way I have not made any TB backups now.. So having a stock sound .zip file will help very much to me and to some other users also...
Hopefully these issues will be solved in the next update..cant wait...

As with all these mods there should be a health warning in the OP that the only way to go back to stock is via a nandroid backup or a clean reinstall of the rom. These sound mods change so many files its next to impossible to manually go back yourself with out a backup.
I know this does not help you, but I hope others will read this and take the backup.

I guess this is the only way for now until Doomlord fixes the 40 seconds reboot in recovery ... once thats fixed then only we all will be able to perform Nandroid Backup...

i am not making any apps tweaking yet
i need to bring Zero's presets into Walkman somehow
but for that we gotta be deodexing the whole ROM

Now we should have Walkman working as it should

Just installed the V2
Used TWRP to flash first
- After booting, in settings the sound effects are still not responding, meaning I when click on sound effects nothing happens
- In walkman, in settings the sound effects are also not responding
- In google music player, when I click on settings and goto sound effects it opens, but when I goto EQ settings and select any new EQ the EQ sliders does not move at all they all remain at Zero which is right in the middle.
Used CWM to flash and same thing as above for settings, walkman, google music player.
So V2 is not working for me either...

[MOD] 3 in 1 Sound Enhancing Mod

Hey there Mix users. Dont know if you aware of this but I've been using this great all in one sound mod for a long time(on s6 edge plus), recently ''flashed'' on my Mix which runs latest Epic Rom and voila it works great.
The AryaMod Sound Control(application) has got:
+ Viper4Android
+ Beats Audio
+ Dolby Atmos
I've also modified the other Dolby Digital Plus app to make the two Dolbies(Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus) work at the same time but although DDP works, it's getting closed when you tap a button, so no need it currently.
Credit goes to developer of this mod: @Kamy and the people who made this mod possible.
CAUTION:

Great share.
Few things I've noticed:
1. It breaks the default Sound Enhancements like HD Audio. Sound settings force closes when you try accessing stock sound enhancements.
2. While the MOD is decent, there is no way to enable Atmos and beats audio only for headphones. I don't like any sound mods on the phone's speaker as there is a significant risk of damaging the tiny internal speaker.
So, everytime I listen to music, I have to launch music player of choice + enable mods.
I have to make sure I manually disable the mods as soon as I unplug headphones to prevent damage to the speaker. And that sucks.
Anyone knows how to revert to stock enhancements without clean flashing?
It was a good share anyway. Wish the app had a setting to automatically disable sound mods on unplugging headphones.
Cheers!

You're right about 1 and 2's some part. Beats audio(V4A also) gets turned off when you unplug headphones but Dolby not. I dont use any of them for speaker too. Sounds weird and echoed lol.
And thanks for reminding 1 to prevent further actions. I will add that as a warning to first post if you dont mind.

I would personally recommend ARISE sound MOD instead of this, it's typical that default sound MOD will be disable and crash when you go into that setting.
I don't think ATOM is that good, I use VIPER mainly and you can have different settings for speaker, headphone, Bluetooth... Etc.
Lastly, to get rid of sound MOD, you simply dirty flash the rom, no need to wipe anything, done in 5mins.

I am a bit of an audiophile myself, i am lucky to own a pretty awsome and rather expensive in-ear (JH-Roxanne), there is no best sound, as it's largely down to your listening device/source/preference, but with my setup and my long history of seeking the best sound, I would share something here which I think a lot of people miss when doing sound mod. If you are using Android phone as your source, and you are listening to something like TIDAL HIFI which is 16/44.1 format, one of the most important thing you want to seek for is a chance for Andoird not to upsample the music. Phones typically don't come with Audio grade DAC, and andoird system put another layer to upsample the music usually to 48000 (because videos are in 48000, but audio are in 44100). If you happen to find a sound mod that sample and play your music at your native frequency at 44,100, and to whatever bits your source is (16 in my case for TIDAL HIFI), then you already have a much cleaner and (much better) sound imo than sound mod that upsample to 48000.
This is the case for me, i tried a lot of sound mod, even different version of ARISE Deut, and luckily i was able to tweak and run ARISE Deut 2.3.3 in my native frequency, no upsampling at all, and this sound is quite a bit better than the newer version of ARISE Deut 2.4 which upsample and i was not able to change that.
I suggest you give it a try, use ROM toolbox tool and goto BuildProp editor and disable 24 bit processing and also change the ARISE setprop, or your audio mod setprop to disable 24 bit processing and force 44,100 sample rate. You might find it to give your sound quarlity a noticably big boost, but again, this is my preference and you may not like it. Also it depends on your file format, if you are only listening Spotify then that's another story, or if you are listening to 24bit file, then that's also difference.
TL/DR, upsampling is bad, there is a good explanation about this online if you want to look into it deeper, having your phone to not upsample your music will imo usually gives you better sound in all of these sound mod.

Thanks for your time to explain and advice, really appreciate it. When i get a new rom to flash, i may try. Im just setting up all my previous apps/mods etc and will be observing the performance/battery life for a while. Also trying to get used to a device with on screen buttons(never liked 'em lol). Lets see how it goes. Thanks again. [emoji106]

The developer has been updated the mod to v3. FYI.

I know that this thread is very old, but I bought the xiaomi mi mix a few weeks ago and I'm still learning what I can and can't do with this beast. Can I use with RR 7.1.2?

How did you guys install the Viper or Arise?
I am currently on Epic Rom MIUI 9 and I couldn't get any of the two to enable the driver
With Magisk and the module or the "classic" way with SuperSu and Busybox it never gets enabled .

Use this Arise zip: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767141554
Select new user and Install:
» Viper 2.5.0.4
» Dolby
» The apps you may like like Esira player, Wlkman player etc
There are some modules like Ice sound etc, you can read about it while installing.
** Uninstall or skip Arkamys audio and MusicFX(constant FC's)
** Set permission to permissive
** AM3D zirene module doesnt seem to be working on Nougat, just saying.
** This module breaks the inbuilt headphones&audio effects feature..
Im actually using 2.89, which has both Dolby digital plus and Dolby atmos that you can use at the same time(to increase optimization).
Let me know ?

Finally I got some time to play with it and It eventually worked
Took some fiddling though because it wouldn't enable but now seems to be working well
Dolby Atmos is crashing but all the other Viper effects work nicely
Thank you! :good:

It's because of the Dolby Atmos is already installed by Epic rom(depends on version). If you want to make the Dolby work correctly; de-compress the Epic rom zip, remove dolby zip and dolby strings from updater-script and recompress the rom zip then cleanly flash it, i mean from scratch which is painfull. Perhaps removing the installed dolby files from the directories then re-flash Arise may help though.

I'm on crDroid Oreo 8.1. I'm looking for a good sound mod that will work on my rom. I'm also using a enforcing kernel if that matters.

Which is the best Custom Rom for audio quality?

I am using lineage 14.1 with Poweramp and Viper4Android atm. (HTC ONE M8, S-OFF). After making calls and writing messages audio playback is the most important task of my HTC One M8.
This was the reason why I choose the M8.
I am wondering if I get the best performance with this settings from my M8 or if I am missing something and if there is a better sounding ROM.
I am just talking about the output of the 3,5mm port: for headphone or to a receiver...the sound of the speakers is not so important.
Is Boomsound, Beats, Harman Kardon ...mainly for the speakers or is this also important when it comes to headphones?
For example: with the alpha test version(704) of poweramp I can't use the new HiRes Output via headphones with Lineage 14.1.
When I try it then the flac will be sampled down to 16bit/48khz
I tested S.Team JW 7.5.0. with the Harman Kardon option selected, now I could play a 24bit/96KHz Flac file which was processed via DAC.
But most time I would not use this bitrate as most of my music are flac files with 16bit 44,1khz or 48khz, but i have about 400songs in 24/96.
Are there differences that one can hear with a good pair of earphones between different ROMs? Has anyone tested the ROMs for this and can tell me what was the result?
of course with same settings(standard audio player without EQ) and same flac file with 16bit/44.1KHz, if there are no differences with the standard player,then there will also be none with poweramp+viper and the other way)
Lineage14.1 runs really really smooth, no problems that I could not solve with some research by myself.
I had the impression that S.team JW 7.5.0 sometimes had delays and stops when opening or scrolling lists, not so smooth...
on the other hand I really liked the cam (dual cam, slowmo ...)and lineage has no theme engine atm and samples down HR audio files...
I had 1 day between the playbacks and it was very hard to tell if there was a difference...I hope someone can shed some light one this topic.

Really? No one? Have I posted this question in the wrong forum? Maybe the M8 General would have been better?
I don't want to post the same question again there. Would it be possible to move this thread there?
I have reinstalled the S.Team JW ROM. The sound had more punch, but I don't know how this was created...but I am used to CM since 5 years and there are so many apps and stuff that I don't use and can't remove...
I will try CM13 because of theme engine which I miss in Lineage 14.1
Thanks in advance

Audio isn't exactly ROM dependent. AOSP ROMs will have AOSP audio. Sense based ROMs will have BoomSound. If you are S-Off, you can flash the Harman/Kardon audio.lib files plus the ADSP that the Sprint H/K model had, which is a part of firmware not ROM (you need the ADSP to make the H/K mod work properly).
S-Rom does some ADSP/firmware modifications that often affects audio quality, so you might have to (probably will have to) re-flash you current firmware version to fix that up.
