One big plus for me on the Vibrant's music app was that it has actual settings in the music player. It has an equalizer (custom and preset), and audio enhancements (bass boost, live, etc).
however, the big fail is that if you stop playing the music, unplug the headphones, exit, etc. then all these settings/preferences change back to factory default upon your next visit to playing music in the app.
that doesn't make any sense.
i do know that some of the settings only work for headphones and not in 'non headphone' mode but it should know to save that preference. any way to get it to permanantly save the audio settings?
If you're using settings that only apply when the headphones are in like Bass Enhancement, there is no way around it defaulting to Normal. If it's not saving your headphone settings for those specific things I can believe that, but I don't think we can fix it.
I wonder how you make equalizer presets for your Galaxy 3 to make sound good. Can anyone post settings?
I also want which equalizer you use for Rap, R&B (Rock?) and Soft Music (Soft Treble?). I am n00b at creating presets so a tutorial will be useful.
Well, that's my headset preset. Listening mainly to rock (all kinds), alternative, trip-hop, some blues, jazz. Works great in quiet environments (at night) with main volume switch lowered (different preset).
Screen from PowerAmp app.
Adapt Sound for any of you guys that didn't know makes the sound quality 20 times better. I listened to a song in the Samsung music app and then listened to the same song at the same volume in Winamp and it sounded terrible.
I'm trying to find a way to make adapt sound global, because I absolutely hate the Samsung music app. I'd much rather use Winamp or Poweramp because of all the extra features.
It'd be AWESOME if someone figured out a way to make adapt sound global and put it into a custom ROM, or even made a MOD out of it.
Edit: If you don't believe me test it out for yourself. Go to Settings>My Device>Sound>Adapt Sound, once you get there do the little hearing test, and then play a song in the samsung music app.

WOW!
Was using Neutron thinking it gives the best possible sound.. Until now!
It's unbelievable the difference!
Adapt sound and Neutron would be a killer combination!

Does equalizer app work universally for you? Granted with some eq adjustments, it seems to lower the output level, but I'm still curious if it fixes your issue. Yes, you will have to disable or freeze the built in eq app in touchwiz, for it to work properly.
I might have stumbled on a clue towards applying Adapt Sound globally or with different music apps.. I was fiddling around with it the other day, and then I was testing the Samsung music app and Google Play Music. Of course, music played through Play Music did not enable the Adapt Sound.
However, when I was listening to a song in Play Music, I thought I'd open the Samsung music app to try to run a comparison, and as soon as I opened it, it applied the Adapt Sound to the music that was playing through Play Music! It seems that when the Samsung music app opens, it enables the Adapt Sound regardless if it's actually playing anything or not, and simply keeping it open in a second window (I'm on a Galaxy Note 3) kept the Adapt Sound enabled! As soon as I closed the Samsung music app, the Adapt Sound was disabled and the sound reverted to the default. Perhaps this may give a clue on how Adapt Sound is applied through the Samsung music app, and perhaps make it possible to make a widget with a button that can enable or disable the Adapt Sound feature.

Any news on this? Maybe a similar app that does the same thing and works on all apps, or a root method to apply Samsung's feature globally?
I hope this is not too late :0
There's only one complicated way to use adapt sound globally... I'll try to explain as good as I can.
You WILL need a rooted phone to make this work.
There's an equalizer app called ViPER4Android, which doesn't only have kick-ass features, but also has a built in "convolver"
So what's a convolver? Basically it lets you simulate effects on audio. It works by having an audio clip, and and another one which has effects on it (in our case adapt sound) and comparing them together to see what changes occurred
You basically take a sine sweep (an audio clip that goes from low frequency to high), and record it paying on your device with adapt sound on (connect your phone to your microphone port by a 3.5mm cable)
Then you import these two clips to an app that can generate convolver presets (Aka impulse response samples)
The result you get is a .Wav file that you put on your phone and select as your convolver presets. And that's it!
What's even more kick-ass is that Viper4android works on neutron. So you're basically combining them three together. You can even think how this sounds.
Hope you found this helpful!

I'm looking for way so replicate the benefits of Adapt Sound (as it works on the Note 7) on my Nexus 6P. The key to adapt sound is the way it creates a profile based on my subjective input (testing my hearing with a given set of headphones; this varies per headphones even). The rest of the eq's and fx processors out there are gimmick to me becaues they are TOTALLY subjective and/or just fluff. You hit the nail on the head with your post; a convolver that is based on the profile created by Adapt Sound. Can you explain more how you have acted on that idea? Ideally (and I might have to try this with Pro Tools), I'd run a sweep on the Note 7 with my profile, record out out the headphone jack, then compare to the sweet and I'd get a diff I could feed to a convolver. If I understand you right, I would do just that, then Viper4Android (which I don't know much about) could apply that andn give me the same effect on my Nexus 6P?
Same idea... I think it can be do next simple way- there is several apps like audiologia.pl that is can make yours audio metrics to left and right channels. All we need to do next it's manualy change eq. setting in V4A or else to normalize sound... BUT there is NO 2 way (two channels L/R) or two different equalizers to left and right channels. Maybe someone can give me information why it is so? Mayby it's hardware impossible?
Adapt sound is a killer feature of samsung phones. I miss it in any non samsung phone I have.
I believe there is a simple way to port it but I never dug the problem.
It's weird that nobody did it until now.

EQ settings are subjective. what sounds good to me with or without earphones may sound like garbage to you. tune your EQ to your ears, not someone elses.
Tip: do NOT use Beats or equivalent headphones. they are garbage. they hold absolutely ZERO sound quality. they are not proper studio headphones. they have a curved responce, should be flat..
We can't say people have realy different sound qualities. The defference is not so big, i don't hear someone who likes trable sound. Even so: on kitkat 4.4.4, latest music walkman app, set on +6.-2.-3.+4.+8 clear bass +8, vpt: studio, dynamic normaliser on of corse and on lollipop 5.1.1, latest music app, set on 0.0.0.2.4 clear bass +4, vpt: studio, dynrm on of corse, all the magic made by set headphones settings on STH-30 (is a little bugy but you need to set from general to sth about 2 times and than will sound good) or just set this headphones with clearaudio+ on and you can have a great sound but i prefer bass so i will go on that presets. Lollipop have more great sound than kitkat in my opinion.
I used to love the clarity preset that you could use on the Note5. For my taste of listening to music, it seemed to produce the perfect V-shaped EQ. Did they remove all those presets? I've tried toying with the actual EQ sliders and AdaptSound, but the EQ doesn't quite give me what I'm looking for, and trying to force AdaptSound to act as an EQ is difficult because the tone mapping order changes every time you set it up, so I can't memorize which tones to say "yes" or "no" to so that it further EQ's the treble and bass while leaving the mids alone.
I just installed the new Android 7.0 Nougat. I was so shocked as I noticed they removed the Clarity preset. It was an incredble quality boost! I've been looking for alternatives but nothing really seems to be able to replace the clarity preset in Soundalive. Once Samsung is developping something really really good and unique and then they remove it...
