Somebody took the time to make this nice comparison between what is available in video for audio (appalling) and what is possible with the microphone for a N1, but should more or less be the same for the Desire:

This really needs fixing.
That's ridiculous. Anyway, I took four 20 seconds recordings of some of my music, once in HTC Sense camera, once with DeFrost Nexus One camera. They have exactly the same quality, I think, but you judge, they're attached in a zip.

the N1 has dual mic for noise cancellation.
I doubt it has anything to do with the dual mic. If media_settings.xml file is anything to go by, audio in video files is recorded using the amrnd codec, at a quality of 12.2kbps and a sample rate of 8000Hz...
Same on all profiles from the looks of it (720p, low, youtube, etc)
Code:
<AudioEncoderCap name="amrnb" enabled="true"
minBitRate="5525" maxBitRate="12200"
minSampleRate="8000" maxSampleRate="8000"
minChannels="1" maxChannels="1" />
And don't forget the audio settings they said they used for PCM Recorder Lite...
16-bit WAV at 44.1kHz... then converted to MP3 (conversion makes no difference to the initial recorded format, other than compressing it)
Is is purely about the amr audio codec used in video recording.
Why not write out 44.1kHz 16 bit PCM data to the mp4.
As we all know the sound quality when you take a video is terrible... Is there anyway to edit the video to fix the sound, or is there something that can be done to have good sound quality when taking a new video???
Editing the video after its taken would be pointless, you can't increase the quality once its already recorded. The only thing I can think of is being sure to use the highest recording quality setting. I'm not sure if it helps the audio quality any though. We are limited my the quality of the microphone that comes with the phone.
So the biggest outstanding problem with the sgs iii is the #### poor recording of videos at concerts.. Not the video quality itself but the innability to record in loud settings. It is kinda sad that the 5 yr old sgs can set the mic level low with voodoo sound and records audio great. I know it is not the same chipset but there must be a way to set the mic sensitivity lower like in the SGS to enable recording in loud environments.. Anyone know of any app to do this or should we start a Bounty for this.
Thanks
if someone wants to see an example. try the link below.. video is great. audio sucks
warning it is a 200 meg video file. Do a saveas.. cannot stream.

In v29a the audio no longer works as before, although it reproduces the high resolution formats, does a resampling at 48 kHz, I reviewed it by capturing the audio from the headphone output to the computer. In Marshmallow it supported up to 24 bit 192 kHz.
Can anyone play high resolution audio with all the quality and check it?
Thank you

I threw on a mod for the hobby of quality and volume in headphones.
Hi-res enabled by default (24 bit / 96 kHz)
Volume increased to the maximum value
Increased the sound quality of video recording from the camera

HD is a wonderful thing especially if your using .wav* files and higher resolution media files.
*HDCD's need to be stored as .wav files only to prevent the loss of their HDCD subtext; they can't be altered to another file type as the subtext is lost in the conversion.
They can have up to 22 bit resolution vs a CD's 16 bit if handled properly. No decoder is needed but they signal needs to stay in the digital realm and go into a 24 bit or higher DAC. Doing so will glean 90+% of the encrypted subtext giving a noticeably broader sound stage and more accurate sound stage reproduction.
Many CDs are HDCDs, and many of those are not labeled as such... a pleasnat surprise from a sound engineer/producer that knows what they're doing
