REzound Kernels support Voodoo

[drbveb88]

Do any of the rezound kernels support Voodoo sound?

And does it cancel out the Beats enhancer?

Thanks in advance.

No. I've asked supercurio if he'd be ok with me building a kernel for the Rezound and he told me that since he doesn't have the phone, he'd prefer me not to. His reasoning was that since he doesn't have the physical device to verify quality operation, he doesn't want his name attached to a potentially flawed implementation.. maybe I'll try again in a little bit and see if he's changed his mind.

BUT, it should be possible, given that he IS working on a ICS compatible Voodoo sound driver for the WM8903 chip I have the beta version for ICS on my tf101 and it has improvements over the Honeycomb version, but the volume control implementation isn't working well yet.

no voodoo sound is only for samsung devices from what i understand.

Mostly because supercurio only likes Samsung devices, and won't allow Voodoo Sound on devices he doesn't own cause he cant offer support for them. I have Voodoo Sound on both of my Asus Transformers, and that has the same Wolfson WM8903 chip handling audio that the Rezound has. With the ICS kernel source code for the Rezound and supercurios source for the driver, it wouldn't be impossible to compile a kernel module that could be loaded on the Rezound to get Voodoo Sound. Or you could build it right into the kernel and forget the module... either way, it would work if supercurio would be willing to let me or anyone else build it for the Rezound, but he isn't currently willing to do that right now.

What then does this mean for development of a "Voodoo-like" audio implementation for the Rezound? I'm guessing the different DAC came as a surprise (and somewhat of a disappointment). However, all the talk of "this DAC is better and more desirable than that DAC" is less constructive than how a particular DAC is implemented. If the best DAC in the world is ham-stringed by poor implementation, then it really doesn't matter much.

How do you find this information...
(I can't find any websites that list the dac)

Anyway, maybe make a voodoo kernel and don't call it voodoo?

Didn't Samsung just get sued for doing something similar?
