Engadget has the story, link coming soon.
We already knew the international version had it, that engadget link has been posted already and it says nothing about the us version.

The Galaxy S III was widely tipped to possess a Wolfson digital-to-analog converter for high quality audio output -- a feature not seen in this range since the first Galaxy S. That notion has just been confirmed by the Scottish electronics firm itself, which says its WM1811 Audio Hub has been selected for use in Sammy's flagship. The chip promises "crystal clear voice call quality" and "enriched audio playback for music and video" thanks to its 24-bit hi-fi DAC, active noise reduction circuits and other wizardry. The GS II, meanwhile, used a Yamaha DAC to convert digital data (e.g. in an mp3 file) into an analog signal that could drive a speaker (for example in your headphones), but even if most people couldn't hear the difference, audiophiles have insisted they preferred the sound in the older Galaxy. The only question remaining, which the PR after the break does not expand upon, is whether the Wolfson hardware is found in all variants of the new phone. Check out the More Coverage links for further reading.

It appears that the US versions do not--a teardown was already done--here is a link to the discussion.

As an amateur audiophile I was disappointed and may end up just sticking with my nexus S which has a great sound for a phone(using voodoo of course).
Tweet from supercurio a few mins ago.

Also he said he can fix the bass problem in video recording. Nice.

Supercurio has developed an app for headset sound amplification.
EDIT : the app is released in the market. Another call for the kernel developers to include this
https://github.com/project-voodoo/mc1n2_voodoo
Here is the twitter request to include it in the kernel for users to enjoy his app.
( does not work for speakers as per his post )

It's a Yamaha DAP, not Wolfson. It may be louder, but not necessarily better.

agree on that.
I find that the headset sound is too weak when I am outside doing phone calls.
Main thing for me was the speaker sound .
This is not getting any louder

Supercurio has released the app.
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.louder
just need a kernel that can support it
Edit : Works with stock kernel
I'm using it already on stock ROM and kernal and it's great. Will try it out later on some better headphones.

Works on a Note as it comes out of the box?
Believe it or not but i've been holding back on the purchase of the Note till this app got released.
Coming from iOS were everything works fine out of the box (fine if you liked the late Steve vision) i'm wondering if i can get this app working on a Galaxy Note with the stock firmware that it carries out of the box.
All this kernel and rom stuff sounds a bit alien to me and it would be great if i could enjoy the Note without knowing a damn thing about these tweaks. I guess i'm getting old and i no longer enjoy spending time in front of a screen tinkering with the OS.

Samsung unveils new HTIB systems plus audio docks with Galaxy S and iPhone support
While it's hardly pulling the curtain back on its entire CES 2012 slate of products, Samsung's earliest preview for your AV pleasure is an updated range of HTIB systems and sound bars, as well as two new Audio Docks that support Apple devices as well as its own Galaxy S phones and players. The DA-E750 Audio Dock (pictured above) is the first to include Samsung's "hybrid vacuum tube amplifier technology" which it claims raises the bar for mainstream audio products, by delivering the clear sound output of digital combined with the natural sound of a vacuum tube in its preamp. Both docks will play from and charge both Samsung and Apple hardware, as well as stream music wirelessly via AllShare or AirPlay, although the DA-E670 lacks that high end vacuum tube tech.
For your entire home theater needs, the new HT-E6730W 7.1 Blu-ray 3D HTIB features the same vacuum tube tech as the DA-E750, while the HT-E5500W boasts an iPod dock and 3D sound effects.Finally the HW-E550 Surround Sound Bar also produces 3D sound with vertically mounted speakers and comes with its own wirelessly connected subwoofer. One other new feature this year is the "Disc to Digital" integration in the HT-E5500W's Blu-ray player which will give users access to streaming copies of eligible discs just by registering into the player. It sounds like it's powered by Ultraviolet, although we'd expect to hear more about that closer to the show. Check after the break for press releases, and the gallery for a few pics of all this hardware -- if you know anything about Samsung, you know the onslaught has only just begun.

I wonder if the Epic will work on it, considering those other Samsung docks have not worked right for our phones.

Oh my god, its BEAUTIFUL! Just look at that design .. ! Imagine that beauty with the next exynos processor, a HD resolution, 1.5 Gig of ram and who know what else..
What do you think?
Sammobile's thread says this:
"The picture above could be true for several reasons: Weber Shandwick is one (or even the) largest PR agency in the world, including here in Germany, Weber Shandwick operates in several sectors, along with Samsung. (This is also very good, I made the best possible experience with those so far). The picture could also originate from an internal document at Weber Shandwick, which to hold a Unpacked event on intended to holdon May 22nd!
So what can we see if we take a clo.es look at this picture. To start with the bezel it is really really small!
We see a shutter-button for the camera FINALLY.
Besides, the design fits the Galaxy S3. Loudspeaker front, above and below the display- a perfect match to the current design line from Samsung. Look at the Galaxy S WiFi4.2 or 1.10 of the Galaxy note, both are the display next to the speakers!
If true, the picture above, it also directly teaser unpacked a Samsung event for 22 May in London - in my opinion, very likely. On 22 May announce where a few weeks later, the Olympic Games will begin to quickly put on the market on time and to have the Olympic Games 2012 Samsung Galaxy S3 in the shops. In my view, could vote at Reddit surfaced image that is so loose - I hope even on it. Then you would have a date and place, I can plunder my account for the plane and the speculation goes in another direction!
May 22nd is the approximate date that the London Olympic Torch Relay starts – of which Samsung are a major sponsor – so this date and event in London make total sense.

Update 11:05
Eldar Murtazin (Russian tech blogger) SGS3 is different but thats one is closest to final design
What do you think of its design leave a comment below.

The 7.7 sure is a solid performer. It has no bass roll-off with low impedance phones (meaning, probably no capacitors in the output path), it has low enough output impedance to drive multi-armature IEMs with crossovers properly, it has decent enough SNR and dynamic range. It measures not quite as well as a Sansa Clip or a modern iDevice, but it's better than, say, Cowons in some aspects (especially bass roll-off).
Same as all other Android devices I tested it has some slight audible background hiss with most IEMs - I guess that has to be fixed in Android, though, not in the hardware.

Here's the link to the full results: http://rmaa.elektrokrishna.com/index.php?dir=Comparisons/&search=galaxy+tab&search_mode=f
Also, just for fun, found in the results above - not that anyone with half a brain would believe that "audiophile" scam players like Neutron MP really sound any different (or even "better") than the next non-broken software player, but I compared it to Rockbox... and of course they measure exactly the same. (Yeah, I also listened to both with my very own ears and couldn't hear any difference.)
Also, Player Pro seems kinda broken at times, with way too high distortions - I repeated the measurements several times in RMAA, but they always turned out the same. Not sure what that is, but I doubt those are realistic results, so I would take them with a grain of salt.
Nice results!
Have you noticed the problem when the audio cuts on/off during low level passages when listening at low volumes? With real high sensitivity earphones one can even hear the 7.7's background noise mute and un-mute.
Yes, I noticed the background hiss - you even hear it when you click the system bar to go to the mini apps. Audio gets activated shortly, resulting in some background hiss. I noticed the same on my Cowon and Archos Android devices too, 2.2 and 2.3 respectively - seems that's a general Android issue.
Also, it's somewhat annoying that Android resamples everything to 44.1kHz (with linear interpolation, I assume). That's no issue for music playback since most everything is at 44.1kHz anyways - but most video stuff is at 48kHz and gets rudely resampled.
A 44.1kHz sine sweep in MX Player:
Same in 48kHz:
Hello,
I am a regular user of this tab but not too informed regarding this. Just want to ask if what would this mean to us users of the P6800?
Is it possible that the Samsung tab 7.7 be used as a music device? (ie. Irig in iDevices) I'm curious about this test. Sent thanks

Samsung Galaxy S III Previewed Behind Dummy Plastic Case (Video)

Less than two weeks, that's how much you have to wait until that special Samsung Unpacked event on May 3 in London when everything will be clear to everyone who is expecting the follow-up to the insanely successful Samsung Galaxy S II.
There's been Apple-like buzz (and Cupertino-like secrecy) around the Galaxy S III but it looks like we might have a first look at what to expect. The device pictured above and the one starring in the video below is claimed to be the Galaxy S III. However, it's not the Galaxy S III you'll hold in your hand as it is encased in a dummy plastic case in order to protect its sexy looks.
You want specs? Here you go: 1.4GHz quad-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, 4.6-inch Super AMOLED HD display with 320 PPI, no hardware buttons (yay), eight-megapixel main camera with LED flash and 1080p video recording, 16GB internal storage (plus microSD card expansion slot), NFC, microSIM, 2,050mAh battery and Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich with TouchWiz on top of it.
That being said, the Galaxy S III (or whatever the final name will be) is not a mystery anymore -- granted that the above leak is legit -- except for its final aspect. Check out the video below and let us know of your thoughts. HTC One X killer? Android king for a year?
For what it's worth, the original story with the pictures and video are down which adds more credibility to the entire report. However, thanks to the Internet, there's a copy floating around and more pictures at the Via link.
