Are there any apps/mods that help maximize audio sound? I remember when I had my S3 they had KingBeatz, just wondering if there is anything similar for the S4. Thanks

Faux has a sound mod available on the Play Store (but it's a paid app), and there's also an "increase volume mod" as well (though I don't think it has anything to do with quality really).

There's a mod in the App section that makes the sound louder. I'm not sure if it is what you are looking for and I haven't personally tried it. But it is there if you want to check it out.

Hi Guys,
I know that the Galaxy S3 has APT-X enabled with Wolfson DAC. Can we discuss on some good headsets that will sound great with GS3??
What about external DAC like E17 USB DAC?? Will that make much difference in sound quality?

http://www.monstercable.com/productdisplay.asp?pin=6490
they sound amazing to me. I usually use the ones off amazon that are like $3 or something.
I was considering selling them, but my wife said she can hear me much better when i use these as a microphone.
So ill keep them.

Thanks for your reply. Have you tried using sennheiser earphones? Many of them in XDA saying its wonderful.
Please share your thoughts and experience so that we can keep this thread live.
What about the external amplifiers like fiio e17?
I use Skullcandy Titans. With siyah kernel (voodoo sound) they sound amazing. Especially the bass effect is out of this world!!

thanks Venkatesh. Can you tell me where can i get this kernal?
Can anyone tell me whether my apt-X compatible Bluetooth headset will be able to make use of the apt-X functionality of the phone if I'm on an AOSP rom instead of a touchwiz-rom? Or is it kernel-specific?
Edit: Never mind, I tested it myself here

fyi... the audio quality of 9500 with custom perseus kernel which includes wolfson audio enhancements is way superior than 9505 audio.

Here again u want to open the argue will i asked for it
firstly what the heck is a wolfson DAC it is something u invented
secondly visit this link http://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9505_galaxy_s4-5371.php
dnt say gsmarena isnt authentic and lastly
we have the same DAC manufacturer as htc one that is Yamaha and we all agree htc is best audio plus am saying stock vs stock but if u want mods the pure x mod makes the sound on i9505 rlly magnificent plz dont trash talk am not doing claims am having facts unlike u
u bought a cheaper phone just be satisfied by it dont claim it is better
Have you tried BMSound?
As for the I9505 sound quality, it's not really that bad. It's no Wolfson, granted, but it's also not crap (as the Yamaha DAC on the S2).
My biggest issue are the earphones, or the lack of proper ones, to be true.

I've tried a few as well and so far Viper4Android FX is the best so far, IMO. Nice amount of tweakable options, able to drive the phone hard and clean without distortion...better than MusicFX and much better than any beats audio/ BMAudio implementation ive seen on the i9505 so far. The author seems to have a lot of plans for it as well

The problem with gsmarena is they arent consistent with their testing and as such they aren't particularly trustworth when ti comes to RMAA testing.
-------
Wolfson are well respected, more so for their dacs used in av amps than phones but that's only because people take less notice of what DAC a phone has, generally. That sort of stuff is reserved for us geeks I've no doubt wolfson are top of the pile here. Whether that translates in to audiable differences is a different question altogether though; I think DACs play a far lesser role in overall picture for sound quality in phones than perhaps some people like to admit. Yes we can bench the hardware with RMAA and see the numbers are better, but that doesnt always translate in to better audio quality and i really do think people concentrate on the DACs too much. I believe the rest of the hardware is far more important - the amp, for one thing. That's a different discussion however.
Wolfson best but the i9505 chip set ain't that far behind. Let stick to topic eh? In reality you would have to be running some sweet cans and have damn good ears to tell the difference between both versions of the s4 chip sets. Disagree? Blind test i9500 and 9505 yourself and see if you can tell the difference.... I have and my ears ain't good enough to differentiate between the two.

Pretty sure that the I9505 with some future decent mods it could maybe even get better sound than with siyah (scoobydoo) sound on the sIII. This chip imo has much potential. I did a tryout with poweramp yesterday I was amazed and blown away to be honest

I'm using viper mod and bmsound atm. There is a post in the at&t themes and app forum for where someone detailed what they did. It sounds pretty good surprisingly. The OP claims that those two work well with bmsound amplifying lows and viper doing a very good job at mids and highs. I'd post the link but at work right now.
This thread has obviously run its course...

I hear you man . I wish Samsung would release a patch to beef the sound up, but I'm gradually getting accustomed to it now, less I use my Note 2 the easier it's becoming.

If you are rooted try this from Note II forum:

It seems to be working fine on Leaked 4.3 ROM.

Power Amp works well for me. It has an amp, equaliser, separate bass and treble. You can have separate presets for speakers, headset and Blue tooth. They have trial version.

Hi guys,
I recently upgraded from the S3 to the S4 once I saw the S5 wasn't that great IMO. I just want to know if anyone feels the S3 had better volume when making calls. I will sometimes have people on speaker and I can barely hear them (I can but it's a strain) I never had that issue with S3.
I also feel like the vibration is softer, I've missed several calls when the phone was in my pocket or right next to me on the bed. Never had that issue w/ the S3.
I see a couple of audio fix and tweaks but it seem to only be for media audio than speaking on the phone. I've been searching for about a week and still haven't found anything solid. I tried Volume_Boosting_Sound_VERSION_2_VERY_LOUD and I guess with me running Liquid Smooth 4.4 this tweak doesn't play nice because I can't hear anyone when on the phone so I had to take that off.
If these questions have been asked I'm sorry, I did some searching on particular threads and only found those about media volume. I hope someone can point me to a fix.
Thanks.
For me.the speaker on the gs4 while in a call is better. Might just be me but I've had each phone for almost a year now. If you flash sacs ROM I know that comes with the volume boost.

Check out this thread for some help. And also look at this post to do the mod yourself.
As @daniel4653 mentioned a few of the latest ROMs already boost sound - Sac's, Negamann's etc..
I also use ViperFX and that works EXTREMELY well; but requires some tweaking (all of which can be learned on the viper threads).
Good luck

Thanks for the replies, I found ViperFx but I wasn't sure if it was just for Music. I did install it and i'm playing with it now.
daniel4653: Thanks I will check out that ROM.. I really appreciate you guys response.

Hi, I have S8 Exynos version and would like to give a better sound to it. It's possible to improve sound quality without root?
Other issue about de sound that bothering me, it's the min. volume of the phone. When I'm listening to an WhatsApp audio, or even a common call, the minimum volume it still a lit bit loud to me. If anyone it's near me, the person can listen to it. Anyway to solve this without root too?
Thanks
I use Poweramp. It does enhance the music output significantly.
How you installed any app recently or the phone has been behaving like this ever since you bought it?

The sound issue is present ever since you bought the phone? Or you noticed it recently?
I am asking because I want to know if the root cause of this issue is due to manufacturing or developed after you have installed an app.

It's not an really issue, is just something that bother me because I don't have a good amplification and like I said, the minimum volume of audios in calls or whatsapp audios it's too loud
I compared with my friend's iPhone X and noticed immediaty the sound from the iPhone X blew my Galaxy S8 Active right away!
The iPhone X speaker has much fuller rich tone and bass. Galaxy S8 sounds like all tremble.
