Hey everyone, I recently installed Skype on my phone and video calls work great however I can't send any audio through. Its like the app shuts off my mic when in a video call. Mic works fine for regular calling though. Are others having this problem? And does anyone know of a possible fix?
I'm on CM7 if that matters. Thanks in advance for any and all help, this community rocks!

Anyone else tried using Skype on their Nexus yet?
I've had a few issues with it so far. Firstly I can only see video, my video isn't working and secondly the volume is too quiet to hear despite coming out of the loudspeaker at the back.
I'm presuming this is because the Nexus isn't officially supported by the Skype app just yet? If that is not the case, then is there any known fix/workaround?
Has anyone been able to find a WORKING app which records audio from a Bluetooth headset on the Galaxy Nexus?
The ones I've tired force close or can't find the audio source...

when someone calls your google voice phone number. you can pickup the phone call and press 4 to record the call; this works even if you're speaking on a bluetooth headset.
I don't use Google voice, but rather was looking for something to record memos instead of phone calls.

Which ones have you tried? There are a LOT of voice recording apps out there!
One example

I've tried the ones which explicitly say they record Bluetooth audio, but none of them work. Regular recording apps will always pick the mic off the phone, which isn't what I'm looking for.

Thats not actually true from my experiences. By connecting a bluetooth headset it should 'hijack' the speaker and microphone and use your bluetooth one by default.

With the app you posted, using a galaxy Nexus?
I'll give it a try.
EDIT: that didn't work at all. It records only from the built in mic.

this is true of the sg2 on various roms i think its pretty damning that a smart phone cant record phone calls really makes android look like a pile o rubbish. i have tried alot to get call recording on a bluetooth headset and nothing works. once after loading about 20 apps on an old ics rr rom it started working litrally by magic so i know it is possible to work but no one seems to care or managed to do it which is deffinetly very pathetic quite fankly. concidering i can watch two channels of live tv while down loading a film using my phone as router over 3g etc all at the same time its amazing but i cant record a phone call ffs.
Its now 2015, has anyone had any luck with this or found and app in the store that actually works. Cheers

I found one!!
There's an app called Boldbeast call recorder that has worked with Bluetooth on my Note 4: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.boldbeast.recorder&hl=en
The good is that it works (on the note 4), the bad is that this app is $11 (free version without auto-record is available), but it works and it saves me from having to waste more time looking for a solution. :good:
I DO NOT KNOW if this works on the Galaxy Nexus, for whoever still owns that phone.

I can confirm that Boldbeast works on my Galaxy S4 (i9500) as well. I had to do a little bit of tweaking (give the app root access, change SELinux to permissive(there's an app on XDA for that)), but I was able to get it to record both ways with a bluetooth headset (Plantronics voyager edge) when I put the Record Mode to "Alsa Mode (Root)" However the volume is a little low, and when I tried to give it a 20% boost in volume in the app settings, the recorded conversation was really really distorted. Turned it back to 0% volume increase, and it's at least not distorting the sound.
I am using a custom ROM (n4/s6 by @alemtro) and kernel (can't remember but as it turns out it's not permissive), and of course it's rooted.
ACR has a far better UI, and does auto call in the free version, but they don't want to play around with SELinux etc because that is against the Play Store terms. So if you don't need BT recording, that's a better app, but like me if you really need BT recording, Boldbeast seems to be the only option (and a good one).
So i got a pioneer deh 6400bt receiver and i got no bass on aokp w ktoons kernel but it works from the headphone jack
just not on bluetooth mode any ideas on fixing it i tried equalizer to turn it up but it does not work there literally is none its not just low.
any one have any ideas or have this same problem connecting to a stereo on bluetooth?
anyone who has subs in a car knows it sucks
I have the same stereo and have no issues at all with bass no matter what rom I've had on my phone. Is your eq on your phones music app adjusted?

Um that's odd I tried power amp turned up bass all the way no luck . Recover works fine on my s2 bass and everything I tried multiple music apps
Thanks for the response
Have you tryed latest aokp?
I noticed it happened asof 11-11build of cm10 in 1104 it was fine
Not related to the kernel I use the same one between builds

Same thing on my cspire gs3 with latest cm10. As said it started with 11-11 nightly. I have found a workaround, but its kinda aggravating. Either have someone call you and hang up or call some one and hang up. But allow time for the call to come through ur car speakers. Once call is ended music will resume with bass. Someone pull a logcat after this process and get it to a dev. They should be able to figure out why and fix it.

confirmed this with my S3 and deh-6400bt as well. Make a call, bass comes back.
Oh I should have mentioned that I was running the 11-14 nightly.
This is a known issue, apparently caused by a new HAL that bypasses ALSA:
<--well, I was going to post a link, but the ridiculous "newbie" rules won't let me post links or make posts in the dev forums where I spend all my time. What a crock -->
Well, if you go to code dot google dot com and visit the CyanogenMod project, the issue is number 6570.
Feel free to Star the issue so that it gets more attention.
When listening to music using a headset (tried with Apollo and Winamp) the music plays through the phones speaker when on the homescreen. It plays through the headset when in the music app but when I tap on the home button to do something else it stops playing through the headset and starts playing through the speaker until I open the app again. I am currently running HellKat ROM but was previously using Alpine's KitKat ROM and was having the same problem. I have tried with both dalvik and art runtime t see if that would make a difference but the problem continued. If anyone knows of a solution to this it would be very appreciated. I am getting frustrated!
Thanks
SOLVED
After more messing around I managed to figure out what was causing this. It was Googles hotword detection feature. When it is enabled you can't listen to audio through a headset while on your home screen. Not sure why that is but disabling the feature fixed the problem. Hopefully they release an update fixing that because I do like my "Ok Google". Hope this helps others experiencing the same problem!
Thankyou!
Thankyou now I can finally use kitkat! btw this thread should be stickied.
You're welcome. Glad I could help! I am new to posting on this site and not sure what you mean when you say it should be "stickied". Let me know and I'll do it.

Hey guys, I've got a small problem with recording audio on my phone, the Samsung galaxy Note 3 Neo SM 750. Every 5 seconds or so, there's a small break in the audio being recorded. This happens when using the default Voice recording app, as well as any 3rd party app, like when recording a voice note in Whatsapp for example, or when taking a video in the camera app. As a result, now even when i record videos, the audio and the video are horribly out of sync.
Is this a mic problem? I'm using Stock touchwiz and i recently got an update to 4.4 kitkat. This problem seems to have arisen after that.
I would be most grateful for suggestions.
Thanks,
I have the same. After hard reset the problem fixes for some time, but the next day it returns. Impossible to use audio and video recording. I would appreciate any ideas to solve this.
Hello, I think I found the reason. Try to disable voice calling OK Google from any application. This seems to help.
