5.1 surround amazing

anyone watch a movie on the stock player??
I love the stock player since its got 5.1 surround. It makes a night and difference watching movies...even without headphones...I wish there was a way to implement that into other players such as mobo, vplayer, and rockplayer etc.
I'm sure with touchwiz UI their gonna really boost the multimedia aspect of this thing.
Can you post the specs (using something like MediaInfo) of the movie? My impression was that HC's stock player can't play 5.1 audio currently.
Will be trying it out on Sunday for my flight back East, looking forward to hearing it on my new Audio-Technica ATH M50's!

if you start to play any movie in the stock player there's a button on the bottom left that says 5.1 srs click it and you'll hear the difference. I was playing a divx version of a movie called "girl who kicked the hornet's nest"
here are the info directly from vlc player
codec: MPEG audio layer 1/2/3 (mpga)
Channels: Stereo
Sample rate: 48000 Hz
Bitrate: 128 kb/s
I don't believe this is completely stock player. Samsung is always about good media and always trying to implement 5.1 into everything. My brother's Samsung vibrant has the same features on his stock audio and video players provided by samsung. the phone only has one speaker so when you press that button on his phone it says this mode only works with headphones. But for the Galaxy tab 10.1 we've got two great speakers on the right and left perfect for 5.1. Although its not true 5.1 it makes a huge difference. I've tried it even on things I recorded with my galaxy tab 10.1. I think it's a software modification of some sort done by samsung to make it sound very realistic.
Give it a try...let me know what you guys think.

Its a Samsung future that you can chose to have the tab make mono/stereo audio sound like its sorround.
Its like fake 5.1 from stereo speakers
-Creates an accurate 5.1 virtual surround sound experience over any stereo headphones
-Utilizes SRS Circle Surround decoder to generate the highest quality surround sound - placing left, right, center, surround left and surround right speakers accurately around the listener's head
-SRS Dialog Clarity boosts the frequency range of the human voice in a way that lifts the dialog above the audio effects, so you can clearly hear every word that's being spoken
-Improves overall bass response of the headphones
-SRS WOW HDimproves the dynamic audio performance of both compressed and uncompressed audio, by expanding the size of the audio image
Yup. I hate how they confuse people with that "5.1" button when it's really "Fake5.1"

you have to admit that it sounds pretty realistic when you turn it on...no tablet can do that right now...the xooms speakers are horrible way in the back and sound is muffled...and only high end laptops are able to only replicate a 5.1 surround, I wouldn't complain unless you want them to put a sub-woofer in there and two more speakers lol....

[Q] How to stream audio from Nexus 7 to another Android phone via Bluetooth

Hello all,
The title pretty much sums it up.
I recently broke my N7's(2012) headphone jack, but i still wish to watch movies and videos off it with audio.
Seeing that the audio jack is out of the question, is there any way i can stream audio off my Nexus 7 on to another android phone like the Nexus 4 using Bluetooth or some other wireless way?
Thanks in advance,
BTW: Replacing the I/O ribbon is far too expensive. The prices on ebay range from 40-50 dollars and all the online stores i looked at don't stock them anymore.

Audio Recording Quality

Currently I have a GS3 and I've been thinking about picking up a GS4. I go to a lot of concerts and one of the major issues I have with the GS3 is the terrible audio quality when recording loud music. I know I'm not going to get studio quality sound when recording with a phone, but I'd at least like to be able to make out the song - this is not possible with the GS3 because any time there is loud bass, it distorts so badly that the entire recording is unlistenable. So my question is this: Has anyone here recorded a loud rock concert with the GS4? If so, how was the quality? If anyone has a youtube link to a concert they recorded, I would be very grateful. TIA.

Galaxy Note 4 Videos Thread!

if anyone knows me from any other phone forums, you'd know I do a lot of guitar videos for youtube, and i typically like doing them with my phone. so i did them a lot until i got my G2 because the G2 was by far the worst video-camera i've ever used in a phone. i'm glad to have the note 4 again because the video quality of all of my Samsung phones has always been the best! here's a few videos I've done so far. the quality is great. the audio isn't as good as I hoped it would be, but that may be because i've got a TPU case on here that's somewhat covering the one mic hole, and in my guitar videos, only the bottom half of the phone was directly facing the guitar amp! so noise cancellation may have been kicking in hard. either way, post your videos!
all in 4k resolution, even though my computer can't even play 4k on youtube lol

For videos where the sound matters an external mic might be worthwhile checking out. Monoprice has what looks like a decent one for under $20 (and there are others out there as well.)

really? like a USB mic works with these? that's awesome. maybe I'll look into getting a good USB mic though.

No, just a headphone jack mic. I think there are USB to go mic's, but probably not in that price range.
Maybe it's just me, but I can't seem to watch videos in 4k, it doesn't gave me the option, the max that allows me to watch videos is 720p. Not even 1080p. How are you guys watching 4k videos on YouTube? What app are you using?

Problem with 16 Bit 44.1khz audio playback.

Hi,
In an effort to get around the generally miserable sound quality on my OPT, I installed the android app for Qobuz, the streaming music service I use. This allows streaming of CD quality 16 bit 44.1khz uncompressed audio, only of course my OPT won't play it, just skips the tracks. The app and audio output works fine on my Sony Z3 compact and Nexus 4.
Does anybody have any suggestions for a fix/work around?
The terrible audio quality really is an issue with this handset, I'm really surprised more isn't made of the issue in reviews etc. Coming from the Sony, which was astonishingly good, this is just about a deal breaker, I no longer use my phone to stream audio in the car as it's just so bad!
Just noticed the other thread with the same problem with Tidal's hi-fi streaming service, so this is clearly a software/hardware issue with this handset. Hope it gets addressed else I'll have to sell mine. It's amazing that Oneplus were able to make a phone that sounds so awful, quite an achievement in 2015!
