Question for Audiophiles - LG V20 Questions & Answers

What is the best setting for Quad DAC when it comes to balance?
Do I just leave it at -3db for left and right? Also, do I need to change anything else?
Thanks

I actually can't tell the difference with the DAC on our off. I get more distortion with the DAC on

Do you have a decent pair of he in? If it sounds better to you with it off I guess leaving it off would be the logical thing to do.

With ear buds it sounds louder with high impedance cans it comes alive since they have juice to drive. I also feel it has better volume steps with it on probably as it's hardware volume vs software at that point?

Dre Beats audio on SGS2...

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
EDIT: i think HTC will die (just like Nokia) quite soonish... i think, releasing every 3 Months a new phone isn't very intelligent... just my opinion...

Try something premium from senns, or even shure then you'll hear the difference. Depends on source of audio as well. Beats are not worth it at all any audiophile will tell you that.

Isn't the audio hardware on the Galaxy S2 way too ****e to even want to do this? I mean with headphones in I can hear a hiss when I scroll! This was discussed in the Anandtech review of the S2:

It's not as **** as that with "Equalizer" app from "Smart Android Apps, LLC", simply the best from his category of the market actually, and you will have the EQ everywhere, not only on a music player

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 own a pair of akg k518
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)

[Q] NexusLouder Testers.

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.
Much regards,

Does this help?
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.

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'm no audiophile, but the Nexus 10 sounds pretty amazing, compared to the other devices and equipment I've used previously anyway.

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:

Question for LG G2 owners, regarding external speaker decibels

One of the things which hold me from buying this phone, is the speakerphone decibel levels.
In the past, I had some phones with very low speakerphone levels, which led for many missed notifications (it happened mostly with notifications and not phone calls, because notification sound is much shorter).
I've seen GSMARENA's comparison of spkearphone decibel levels (attached image), and was quite shocked to see just how quiet the LG G2 speakerphone is. It is 10 decibels lower than the Galaxy S4 (10 decibels translate to twice as loud, for human hearing).
So, in your day to day experience with the LG G2, do you find yourself in situations that you missed a notification because of the quiet speakerphone ? how much of a problem are we talking here ? can you compare the notification volume to your last phone and conclude this is a real problem ?
notification sound is pretty loud enough imo.
Havent missed any notifications in loud places.
Video sound is a little quiet, but not the notification sounds
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, it's a little quiet, but there's a post somewhere around here about how to increase your speaker volume above factory specs if you're rooted... Haven't done mine yet because I'm not rooted yet
Well, I'm quite particular about this, thus I sold off the Xperia Z after 11 days of usage.
As for the LG, I'm running it for 2 weeks and still going good.
I did the hack as mentioned above and it's pretty much decent. Videos are pretty darn loud for me (MX player, using HW+ decoder).
Something to note is that the speaker placement is at the bottom. I feel that's the best place for a speaker on a phone. It will face out when you insert your phone headfirst. Also when laying on the desk, the speakers are not blocked (as opposed to the S4). All these help in delivering sounds more efficiently.
I've had the phone for a good 2 weeks now and haven't missed many notification or calls at all. The ringtones and notification tones that come with the phone are plenty loud.
Also, I agree with MasK about the bottom-facing speaker. It doesn't seem to get muffled at all sitting on a desk or even on a pillow on my couch, unlike my old RAZR MAXX.

Getting the audio from Marshall's new phone

As the title states, Marshall has a phone out
http://www.gsmarena.com/marshalls_new_smartphone_is_every_audiophiles_dream-news-13087.php
Do you think we could pinch the audio decoding software? I mean Marshall are pretty much as old school and as good at audio as it gets, coupled with the amplified speakers on the HTC, it could be a match made in heaven, will keep my eye out for when it's released, might try to get a dump off it.
It's launching August 17th
OMG
I wonder how much could be ported, though, as it sounds like it's coming with some proprietary hardware, as you would kind of expect.

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

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)

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.

Galaxy s7 edge bluetooth audio

Hi,
I own a samsung galaxy s7 edge and beats by dre (no haters pleas) bluetooth headset.
While using my iphone/mac and my beats, the output volume is sufficient at around 65%, while on my new S7 edge the output is too low even on 100%...
I tried using adapt sound and it didn't help.
I own the Exynos version.

While using my iphone/mac and my beats, the output volume is sufficient at around 65%, while on my new S7 edge the output is too low even on 100%...
I tried using adapt sound and it didn't help.
I own the Exynos version.
I'm am so disappointed..
is there any way to resolve this issue?

Beats suck. Get a good pair of headphones. I am using sennheiser bluetooth with viper4android. I am in heaven.

Common man thats not the issue here...
With my iphone the volume has been much much better.
The only thing that sucks right now is my S7

Maybe you're half deaf because you've been listening to loud music all your life?

Sell your beats by tre. All my bluetooth headphones work fine. There's not going you can do. Just crank up the volume I guess.

Beats by Dre is optimized for Apple products.
Like when I use my PowerBeats2 with my previous 6s it shows how much battery the headphones has but on android it doesn't.
But no problems so far with the s7e when it comes to sound being too low.
Have you tried using your headphones with another android device?

Yes I have tried it with a nexus 6p and it was as good as with the iPhone...
If I use my beats with an aux cable, everything works well...

Hey Man I was having the same issue and come to find out the resolution is so easy that we overlook it. You have to cut the volume up physically on your phone then use the volume toggle on the headphones itself and turn that up and that will fix the issue. I also reset my bluetooth headset before doing so. My issue was with the Powerbeats2.

Yes we were over looking! Thanks!!! I have the Powerbeats3.
Hmmm. I find that Bluetooth is WAY too quite on two different car stereos using my s7 edge. No problems with my old Asus zenfone2 or my company iphone. The built in equalizer for the Samsung seems to be quite basic. It doesn't let you create separate profiles for speaker, headphones or Bluetooth like most other phones do. Is there anything out there to help this without running a custom Rom?
not really, at least you need root
