I bought a Samson Meteor microphone to record some class lectures. I used SGSII 4-IN-1 connection kit to hook it up. I was able to record with it but the quality was quite low but on my Ubuntu box using Audacity it sounded great. Does anyone know if there is some way to connect an external mic and get good sound? The native voice recorder app on the S3 used the usb mic without a hitch. I installed another app that lets you select a mic but it only recognizes the built ins. Has anyone else tried the external mic thing?

Hey, I'm looking for a way to use an external mic to record audio on my Nexus 7 2013 LTE. I did a quick search and didn't find anything so I apologize if I missed it. Looking for an app or possibly a rom that allows me to choose what apps see as the default mic. I'm willing to purchase a couple of minor accessories if needed.
Specifically, I'm trying to record sermons directly from the tape out on a mixer. I'm pretty sure this device has a trrs audio jack if I understand correctly and I already have a trss adapter that splits audio in and audio out, I just cant figure out a way to make an app use that mic input rather than the internal mic. I don't care what app is required as long as it's not outrageously priced as I'm paying for this myself.
It depends on what kind of microphone you're thinking of using. But so far as I know, plugging in a phone type external microphone would automatically cut off the internal and use the external instead, as in using app like skype or voice recorder. What do you need a special app for?

the "mic" would be a tape output from a mixer
Has anyone tried or had any success recording video with a USB microphone? I was under the impression that android is supposed to support USB mics. The weird thing is that the mic works with straight audio apps, but the mic doesn't work while trying to record video using the native video recorder. Any thoughts or suggestions?
try with different phone
has anyone tried using a usb mic with another phone besides the note 3? OR does anyone know of a particular ROM that would support the usb mic?
Dear All,
I have a quite big problem, when I want to make a phone call in my car.
I connect the phone's audio out via a minijack to my car's radio and I want to use my phone's built in microphone for phone calls.
Unfortunately the mic does not record my voice loud enough. When I use the phone's built in loudspeaker it works fine, but when I use the car radio as sound output the mic does not record loud enough.
Does anybody know how to solve this issue?
My Samsung Galaxy Note 1 had a car mode available for this.
Thanks!
Simply, the headphone jack also contains the mic connector for a proper phone head/earphone and mic. Plugging your phone into your stereo via this jack disconnects the internal mic in favour of the headset mic which of course you won't have if you connect to the car stereo. So you are effectively disabling the ability to use the phone for calls when plugged in this way.
But the mic is NOT disabled. It is still enabled but is recording the voice as if it is being used like in a normal phone call. All I need is a function to switch the mic to some kind of a handsfree mode.
Sorry for my English.
With "normal phone call" I mean the phone being held right at your ear.
With "handsfree mode" I mean speakerphone mode.
So I need the audio out via stereo jack and I need the voice in via phone microphone in speakerphone mode...
Can you try using a cable that doesn't pass microphone? I think the difference is the full cable WITH mic uses 3 connections and the standard audio only uses 2.
This will prevent the internal microphone from being disabled.

I already use a standard audio cable with 2 connections only. The problem is not that the microphone is not working at all but it is not recording loudly enough. I simply want it to record as loudly as it does on speakerphone mode.
I accidentally discovered strange thing while recording the sound via external microphone (the headset that came with the kit) in default recording app and camera app (maybe in other apps too).
That's what it's all about: when i plug the heaset 3.5mm jack in, the message pop up: "External microphone will be used to record audio". Ok. But! The sound can aсtually recording from extenral mic only if you immediately start talking in it, otherwise it will be recording only from internal mic! Is it a bug or feature?
P.S. And the second question, maybe it stupid:
I tried to record sound from Nintendo switch to Galaxy S9 by connecting them via 3.5mm cable (male-male), the sound did not recorded Now i know it was useless, but is safe for both gadgets to connect their 3.5 ports?

Has anyone tried this?
I'm trying to record audio straight from a source like a vinyl player or a pocket operator. Would anyone know how I would be able to do this.
As the port is used for ear buds and you can speak on teh phone through the buds and be heard the functionality of audio capture is there.
I record my phone calls and use the mic on my buds to capture my voice.
Stands to reason that any other mic you can connect via the port should be able to work as well.
You will probably just need to make sure whatever adapter you use is compatible.
Not all usb C-audio jack dongles work.
DAC is the tech that has to exist if memory serves.
