Just noted a tweet and screen shot from this galaxy s legend who turned a mobile phone device into a hifi quality audio device due to its wolfson chipset. it has to be heard to be believed.
If he ports this accross to the tf (does it have the same chip) then omg we are in for a treat

Nice one. Pic wouldn't load for me but I found it from his Twitter feed:
http://twitter.com/#!/supercurio
Yeah hope he gets it fully working, he done wonders for the galaxy s and as the chipset is high end and samsung had crippled it it was amazing to hear with a good set of headphones, truly different class.

Thanks- this is awesome. I was looking into fixing the speaker balance issue, but I would much rather use something like voodoosound to take care of it.
Can someone explain what this does? Is it for the loud speakers or for plugging in earbuds?

Both. Voodoo sound basically unlocks the potential of the soundchip in the TF. Granted, the built-in speakers are pretty crappy so you won't notice too much of a difference. But if you have a pair of high-end headphones the difference is amazing.
I have a Samsung Vibrant with Voodoo sound, and the difference is unbelievable. Samsung really tried to cage a beast with this phone... looks like Asus is doing the same. Why?

I consider myself to be an audiophile. And now I may just pick up a used vibrant to test this out.
Just a quick question.. It would seem this is mainly software that can be used on other devices? Is there any chance we could get this on our sgs2's...?
Please, mate, just look around. There's been 3 topics on this already.
Bottom line is it isn't possible, since it's for the HTCMusicplayer. And on top of that, it's just an equaliser.

WTF why would some1 pay extra cash for a cheap eq setting?! lol i can get the same stuff with poweramp wich sells for only 3 or 4 Euros... LOL *cantstoploughing* at least they could have added a few gigs of extra memory to make it more attractive... "Beats Audio" LOL

I believe its speaker hardware along with the equalizer. And that means jack **** when you're using the headphone output.
And seriously, Beats are horrible and overpriced and you can get sound quality as good or better for 1/3 of the prices. We're not repeating the sentence for nothing, we know what we're talking about because some of us actually spend $500 and above just for headphones instead of ****ting it down on Beats.

Again, I point out the SGS2 audio output is garbage. I know you didn't buy the good headphones primarily to use with this (or any) phone. If anything, having any personal set of standards for audio quality will bring you great shame and sadness when you try listening to the sound that comes out of the 3.5mm jack on this device.

Sennheiser, beyerdynamic, both have models that thrash beats by dre for considerably less money, a well as models that will blow your mind (albeit for a price).
Of course, any good pair of headphones are also going to expose every flaw in both your music and the yamaha chip in the sgs2.

i had to turn down the bass a bit and they sit pretty thight in the first weeks if you have a bigger head.
but despite of that they deliver a very good quality for the price
i can recommend them (although im not shure about the price range of the beats)

I know there is a big question as to whether the American gs3 has the wolfson audio chip. I can tell you right away that using poweramp with the rock preset produces some of the best audio I have heard out of any media player. Just so you understand my level of audio history I currently own Shure e500 pth, Phonak audeo pfe 232, klipsch x10, velodyne vpulse, ultimate ears super fi .5 eb, klipsch s4, shure se535, klipsch image one, audio technica pro 700 mk2. I have owned cowon d3, j3, ipod touch ipod classic, toshiba gigabeat s60. I am just giving you guys a heads up that it also is powerful enough to drive all the headphones (except for th Audio technica) without an amp. Hopefully this post helps a music fanatic like myself.

I agree regarding the audio quality, my iem's are Earsonic SM-3's and I definitely know good sound when I hear it. The GS3 is the real deal, Wolfson or not.
I posted the same on head-fi and was largely ignored. People will catch on son though.

Well Quad core doesnt really matter outside of benchmarks because there will b no software to take unique advantage of it. I also have a tegra 3 one x and i can tell you that my wifes s4 one x is smoother than mine. The only quad core architecture that matters is the one that has software that takes advantage of it. And right now tegra zone is the only softwarestore that has that. As far a audio quality is concerned, anyone can take advantage of good audio quality. All they need is music and decent headphones.

not to mention the fact that the nexus 7 is tegra 3. that means quad core exynos processor will have a uphill climb as far as software adoption.
The few milliseconds of performance that the quad core gives means little to nothing to the general population. But if it makes you feel better, the quad core processor is better.

Noted. BTW the U.S. SGS3 doesn't use the Wolfson DAC, it uses the Audience eS305 audio processor. So if you really do care how the Audience chip sounds even though you have the Wolfson in your phone, then have at it.

nobody said power equals quality. I said it sounds great and in a totally separate sentence I said it drives most of my headphones fine. One doesnt equal the other. Because if it has a terrible d/a converter then the amplifier will amplify terrible audio. Thats kinda 101 level stuff.

Have you noticed crackling sound on the US galaxy S3?
If anything I've been working on purely all nexus devices to improve the way users listen to their device and music.
I just wanted to know if anyone can be kind enough to let me know how the N10 fares in general with it's audio quality and what audio chipset does it run.
Ofcourse I've created a test dump for the N10 but I don't know anyone on my side who has an N10. I would like someone to test it since this is the best place to refer to. Rest assured, bootloop free.

In my opinion, it's pretty mediocre. It definitely didn't sound louder to me than the iPad, despite having Stereo out. Disappointing, really.
I can barely hear some movies on the DICE player and I don't know what's causing it. Some other movies are fine.

Yeah it seems majority of the Nexus devices suffer this. Infact all at this rate, considering the Nexus S was to involved without Voodoo. :crying:
I think with these newer devicesthe only way to get respectable sound is with Bluetooth or wired external speakers.
I love my ICS phone and listened to the Nexus 7 - great devices. But audio is weak.
What bothers me about the Nexus 10 audio is the speakers.
Even as a kid nothing screamed snake oil to me more than huge grills that hid tiny speaker cones.
That's what you get with Nexus 10 as well.
Behind each grill is one tiny speaker radiator at the top of the grill.
The rest of the long speaker grill is just for looks (or sales)
External speakers all the way
sound
I think it sounds fine. The speakers on it are actually descent and I have nice headphones so that works fine for me as well.
I've got a test build up for trials. Anyone want to test it before I make the thread in N10 Themes SECTION? Thanks for the feedback, helps improve certain fields.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I personally think the Nexus 10 sounds pretty good with headphones. I believe it has a Wolfson WM1811 chip.
I have it plugged in with an ATH-m50 and a Fiio E5. Tweaked with the 10-band equalizer from Poweramp, and it sounded pretty good. It's certainly not the best I've listened to (the Cowon S9 sounds better still), but it's good enough to replace my S9 simply because the Nexus is much more hassle free in general.
The sound is definitely missing something though. Not exactly sure what it is.

To me the speakers on it are the best I've heard from any tablet since its front facing and it kinda has a slight surround sound effect since there is one speaker on each side of the tablet. Also the volume is loud enough to where nobody should have a problem hearing it and if you do get a hearing aid. The volume isn't so loud you can go deaf but its loud enough to where everyone in the room should be able to hear it.
The speakers sound pretty good with a bit of EQ. CyanogenMod's DSPManager is perfect for this since you can selectively EQ only the speakers.
Headphone quality is even better. Much, much better than the Galaxy Nexus and on par with some of the best Android devices.
Well I've sent a test build to a few members already let's see how that fares with comparison to stock loudness.
But I do thank you for the feedbacks, much appreciated!

I've read here somewhere that the microphone isn't amazing quality.
I wouldn't be surprised if the N10 sound can be improved, but I was actually very pleasantly surprised listening to music, movies, etc on mine, as the sound blows away any other tablet I've used to date, blows away my 15" ASUS laptop (3 different models in our house, none of which sound as good as the stock N10). I've seen a few people complain that the size of the speaker slots is misleading, and somehow implies that the speakers are larger than they really are, as can be seen in tear-down photos. I haven't done any serious homework into this -- but I'm wondering if the elongated speaker grills actually server as vents, effectively turning the housing into a slot-vented speaker cabinet.
How do you plan (in detail) to improve the sound on this tablet? Are you going to just make it louder or actually do tweaks to improve the sound? If you are just making things lower, how do you plan on making it louder? A simple voltage increase? Or something more sophisticated?

Tweaks to improve the sound, since as you said the hardware is pretty good, louder is one thing if its needed, else controlled loudness is fine. In terms of libset, voltage increase is pushing it sounds alot more dangerous and doubt it will be tested :victory:

Honestly I don't know. All I know is that in the past, software alterations have made a massive difference, namely Ac!d Mod on the galaxy s3, that mod was insane, the audio was so loud. Huge difference...if this is anything like that then I'll be happy.
Audiophile myself. Software doesn't do any justice without the right DAC (Digital analogue converter) which is Wolfson which is used in the Marshall new phone. On a side note, that chip is old smh.

There's frequency limitation all the way. (if you pump up the volume, the bass and sub bass will be softened)
It's a offense to compare it with M9. Our phone is way better.
The only thing that could be better in M9 is more volume steps. (by default)

In terms of actual volume. The HTC is not the loudest phone I've used, it has great sound but it's not the loudest, I has an s3 a few years back, install acid mod and the audio was really loud, just to the point of distortion but not quite, a software change would make a difference I think and in all honesty until it's been done everyone's opinion (including mine) is just theoretical.
Further to that I can't find the software anywhere anyway so might not happen

I didn't compare them, I literally said could the player and the active equaliser be ported, I'm not asking for an opinion I am asking for help in porting it over nothing more.

Yes, i have read the OP.
I compared because of the two main points-> equalizer and player.
Exactly what doesn't deserve any effort because equalizer are directly "connected" do audio libs and permission's files. (manufacturer's xml under system/etc/permissions)
Do you really want a port that will make your phone sounds like garbage? Oo
If yes, i can share a dump of Marshall's phone as soon as i put my hands on it again. (my cousin have it)

In terms of actual volume. The HTC is not the loudest phone I've used, it has great sound but it's not the loudest, I has an s3 a few years back, install acid mod and the audio was really loud, just to the point of distortion but not quite, a software change would make a difference I think and in all honesty until it's been done everyone's opinion (including mine) is just theoretical.
Further to that I can't find the software anywhere anyway so might not happen

Can't talk about any mods but the S3 is not even close as far as stock sound is concerned. The M9 can freaking power my HD 598 I can't imagine any earbuds giving it a tough time. I literally can't listen on full volume and I can tolerate ear piercing volume.

Nope that's absolutely correct, the s3 was toned back to around 70% volume at stock, leaving quit a lot of headroom for when people unleashed the potential, namely acid mod in my experience, was running foxhound at the time and even the unlock sound was ridiculously loud, great phone the s3 when running foxhound.
I've not done a side by side of the two devices but the s3 from memory is the stand out device for volume, the z1 was probably the worst, strangely the iPhone 6 has great audio too, also very loud.
That Marshall phone isn't even on XDA as far as I can see.
