Voodoo sound in new kernels...

Sooo I would like to get this clarified for myself and others who don't know how to take advantage of this. Being an avid music lover I use my epic as an mp3 a large amount of the time. Now I read about this awhile ago but it was only available for the vibrant if im not mistaken. What differences in sound are there and how exactly do I get it working?
PLEEEEASE I know the sound chip in this thing is capable of great things.

Short answer: the DAC is being used to its full potential with Voodoo Sound, and to get Voodoo Sound going, just flash one of the kernels supporting it, such as Twilight Zone 1.0.4.

DAC being fully used,yes it is,to the point of pops and clicks in your headphones when doing other things on your phone,you can tell because now it stutters when sleeping the screen...

I have not experienced this, nor has anyone else.

Its slight,but I notice it,I listen to a lot of music also...

Voodoo sound audio output from the media dock is horrid. I don't know what the deal is, but I decided to restore my backup to get my sound back up to par. Sounded like a speaker in a toaster... not great.

Same problem here, but I don't have a voodoo kernel. I noticed this today, using nubecoder's kernels. Songs stutter when I wake/sleep, also using the touch screen I can hear noise.
I'm going to play around and try to find the cause. Also,using klipsch s4s

I know what you mean by "clicking" sounds when listening to music. I used to get them on DK28 ROMs, especially during transitions and when the brightness level was adjusted. I've been using ACS 1.0.2 EB13 (Honeycomb Fusion theme) with Voodoo sound, and have not heard any more clicking.

That's weird,because I never got it with DI18 - EB13,but with Mammons ROM,its there... Not even using Setcpu,so its not the cpu.

Come to think of it, I don't actively remember having this problem before EC05, Bonsai 4.0.0.
I'm going to flash genocide kernel and give it a shot, if the static is still there then I'm reverting back to EB13 and testing it.
EDIT: Voodoo definitely improved the sound, appreciate the features it offers, but doesn't do anything to fix the static/popping and delay issues. Restoring EB13 now to test.

Thanks,but I can tell you already its the voodoo that's Fin it up... I know its slight,and you have to have a good ear to hear the stutter sometimes,but other times its easy to hear. I love music,and know what to listen for when it comes to audio hicups...

Ecooce, I think your confidence is a little unfounded. I was using Bonsai 4.0.0 with Nubecoder's battery kernels, which do not include Voodoo, and was having the same symptoms.
I am not questioning your auditory abilities, I'm simply saying that under different circumstances we share similar symptoms. Perhaps there is a common cause.
I make no claims to being audiophile, I own a pair of Klipsch S4s with comply tips along with a pair of ATH-M50s and can recognize the difference between a 128kbps mp3 and a FLAC. This issue is apparent without any headphones plugged in (using the Epic's speaker) and is fairly obvious regardless of quality (as it appears to be independent of all of this).
I have yet to restore back to an old EB13 backup but perhaps I will later tonight if I have time.

Ill say you have a great ear if you can tell the diff. between
128bit and FLAC without headphones.... Ill admit I didn't do all the testing before making that claim,Ill do the tests to narrow it down.... If you scroll a page while playing a song you will also notice serious static and pops...

I'm listening to music right now with the voodoo sound deal and there are definitely more pops and crackles than without voodoo. It is rather irritating with earbuds.

I don't get the interference when scrolling pages. So far it's only when adjusting screen brightness.

Get clicking in acs, but it is only a little bit and it os worthwhile. Music sounds awesome with my ue10 pros.

I guess its not a big deal,but I hate it...

It'd bother me too if I heard it while scrolling.

Any of you guys tried the Voodoo app to turn down the headphone decibals? Maybe the levels set for Voodoo in the kernels is too loud.

Music fix

Hello... i seem to be having trouble with my music. When i start playing it through the stock player and leave my phone alone to play some tunes... the phone will stop the music after about 3 minutes of playing. I have juice defender running and i set up the music player to continue running after the screen locks... does anyone have any idea what the hell is going on? Thanks for taking the time to help.

Most probably your stock musicplayer is in "auto end list" in task manager app, it autostops the apps in the list at about the time you mentioned. Hope this helps and solves your issue...

I looked at auto end list but it wasnt there. Do you know of any other good music player? I usually use subsonic to connect to my media server at home, it has an option to keep the screen on. but when I'm in the car i like to listen to my tunes without streaming...

No problem, I ended up choosing PlayerPro myself a while back out of those Top 3.
BTW, Grab the "DSP Pack" and you can really have some fun with the equalizer settings added on...

Sometimes auto-ending a certain other app also causes the music to stop. I don't remember what it was, but it may have been photo gallery, or some other such media.

Sometimes that happens to me just take ur SD card out and put it back in or a reboot of the tab should fix it.

Power amp has a 11 band equal. Really, cash flow that bad..?

Anyone have any advice for getting my audio quality up using bluetooth?

Thoughts?

This is what the original dsp mod evolved into. Has some nice settings for compression and other stuff that should hopefully help you out.

Are you using cm10? I get the same issue on this ROM . At first I thought it was my Bose speaker but I downgraded and haven't had that issue anymore.

Its CM10.1. From what I've read changing lpa.decode from "true" to "false" in your build.prop should fix it.
Personally I just flashed back to 12/27.

I have u verse and had no idea you could get your recorded shows onto the phone through the app. I know the app has its own on demand though.

Yeah on my one s I can go to my recordings in the u verse app and watch them on my phone. Maybe it only works on ICS.
When I click the watch button on the nexus it plays the sound but there's no picture.

OK, I see what you're taking about. If u verse also has that show on mobile on demand, it'll let you access it from the recorded shows portion. With that said though, all I get is audio on both video resolutions. Funny how it works on an at&t branded phone... Cause of worked on my vivid too.
