Any note 2 owners out there who can compare the audio quality of the s4 vs the note 2 i9505?
I'm not so sure but I'd put the s4 slightly ahead, I wanna know what you guys think.
Curious also if the stock android music player inferior to samsung music player when it comes to audio quality?

I have both devices.
Note 2 having better sound donno why, but S4 plays well when you play songs in Stock Music Player.
Call me crazy but it's been driving me nuts! I still can't tell which is better

Anyone know any way of increasing the volume of the stock music player on the Galaxy S. It's just so quiet when compared to the iPod. This has nothing to do with my headphones, since when I listen to max volume on my iPod with the same headphones, it feels like my brain is gonna explode.
Cheers!!
Download poweramp off the market, its a better music player anyway. It has a pre amp function that boosts the output.

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....

If you are rooted viper4Android is really good. I'm using it with over ear headphones and have awesome sound quality. It also works for speaker and external sound systems.

10 band equalizer, sounds perfect on my AKG headphones.
As for the speaker quality, no app is ever going to solve the issue of a metal speaker in a plastic miniature container. That's what we invented external portable speakers for.
Currently on stock Kitkat (update 3).
I have just invested on some Creative soundblaster evo headphones which are csr apt-x certified.
The audio quality sounds very poor as if the bitrate is below 128kbps of typical "CD quality" sound.
The sound is the same across the Tab 2 and iPad Mini which has no support for apt-x as far as specifications are concerned.

I'm just taking a guess that someone has already extracted the apks from these versions. Are they better than the v20 music app? I can notice the difference in sound between the stock player and blackplayer ex. I prefer the stock player for the sound but the app is laggy and the ui sucks.
If this doesn't work at all, I'm looking for recommendations on other music player apps. I've heard good things from neutron music player. Is it true that it performs just as good as the stock app in terms of sound? Cheers!

I haven't seen any ports from newer LG phones that have worked good enough to consider using. I use Poweramp and it sounds just fine to me. I use Viper with it though but neutron was very popular with the V series crowd that used the HiFi part of the phone.
Asking if it sounds as good as stock app is pretty subjective though. I'd suggest just buying neutron through play store if you can and then you have 24 hours for a refund if you can't get it to sound any better.
Just FYI neutron was always known for its sound quality and it's UI was always criticized as pretty clunky. It's been awhile though so maybe it's improved by now.
