I was recording a live band and every now and then there's a slight "scritch" sound.

Does anyone have the same problem?
Same here. Recording high frequencies causes same screeching type sound in videos.

ahhh, I guess there are limitations to this device. their music was a bit loud anyway. I did several recordings and the audio seemed fine albeit not crystal clear as it's only a smartphone.
Ive noticed similar problems with all of the galaxy s/note phones ive owned. Its improved alot from the galaxy s1 though where to much high or low noise would sound distorted. I noticed that using a pair of headphones with the built in mic helped me a bit on older phones but I have yet to try it on my note 2. Maybe if there was a audio tweaking mod like voodoo that we could try?

Just a query, now we have the camera libraries, is it possible that they could be edited to reduce the compression in video recording? Could the bitrate be upped to give better video?

With libralies you cant do NOTHING.
It just to make easy for devs to port it in their rom.

Ah ok. In that case, is there anything possible to improve bitrate?

How do you mean?

One of the main issues with the video recording on the arc etc is it records in low bitrate. If we can increase the bitrate we can improve the video.

Try igCamera or igCameraPro - you can set the video quality - i use 8 mbit (1280x720) on Arc S
Just had a look, I got the free one, limited to 640*480, but the paid version doesn't show in the market. Might be because of the rom I'm using
Ill try another rom and have a look, thanks!
Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk
Yeah, the pay version is called igCameraPro - had to search for it manually.
But I'm not sure if 1280x720 requires Arc S hardware. Not sure the Free version has limitation in that regard.
Found it. Got 1280*720 30fps at 20Mb working fine! Have to drop the sound quality for it to work though. Setting sound to stereo causes the framerate to go crazy.

Cool. Stereo shouldn't matter since Arc/S doesn't have stereo mic anyway.

The Arc has the capabilities to record in stereo.

Yeah, it gas two mics, stereo audio in video was added in one of the updates.

been away for too long and lost track of tricks to improve audio volume on Gnex, especially on notifications (not only music).
Anything new and really working?
Mostly interested in improving volume for notifications through external speaker.
Thanks
MegaBassBeats is the way.

Sorry but I must say a huge... NO
As an audio enthusiast, Beats must be the ****tiest sound I've ever heard.
There is/was an app called "Volume+" which is said to work pretty well. Though I can't confirm it.
Otherwise some ROM's and Kernels do have a bit of volume boost built in.

volume+ was working with ics but broke with jb...
plus I need only volume increase on ext spkr for notifications
I fixed mine with trinity kernel. They have an audio slider that helps with that.
On the topic of audio is there any way to control the gain of the mic when recording video?

I've been pretty pleased with Misledz's work over here. Works well for JB to improve audio quality and boost volume.

There is a pinhole-size notch in the top edge of the rear cover, toward the right side as you look at your phone from the back. Behind that is supposedly a second microphone that is used when recording video. There have been complaints that it is set far too sensitive, and garbles the audio in loud environments. I don't know of any way to adjust it with software. You could try reducing the MIC's sensitivity by holding your finger over the pinhole.
Hey peeps I just want to see what others think about the audio quality when playing music from the phone speaker..even some of the ringtones sound bassy a bit loud and distorted. Anyone else notice this? I hope my speaker isnt blown..

I've noticed the same thing on mine.
Its extremely loud. Ive noticed things sound normal if u put the volume like 2 notches under the max.. but still its rather strange. You think this is normal or defect?

It seems to be a general issue with the device. I exchanged my device because of this issue but I notice the same sound distortion when volume is maxed.

So same audio loudness and distortion with replacement phone? I guess its not that bad.. here at my job I put it on max volume and you can hear the music from quite a distance. The distortion goes away tho if u dont raise volume to max. Seems to be only with speaker because it sounds good with headphones.

The volume from the speakers is pretty quiet. I have to turn the volume up to 100 just to hear dialog. Some reviews I have read mentioned the speakers were plenty loud, however that is not what I am experiencing. It happens with music and video. Any one else having this issue?
I have tried speaker booster from the play store and it helps a little.
Return it. I have zero problems with my speakers. They are very loud. When playing games I only have the volume up about 2 clicks from off.

You've tried different apps for video? Or games? Everything is quiet? Mine is quite loud unless the video itself is quite quiet.

What vidoes or music did you play? It is mostly loud for me. Some youtube is louder then streaming from a tv app. Voices in the streaming apps are quiet.
Loudness is relative. I think its plenty loud. However I think all mobile devices suck, clip and distort at relative low volumes.... so...

I'm experiencing a similar situation with both games and videos. With the volume midway I can barely hear a thing with my ear pressed to the speaker. Using headphones I still have it set to full and find it lacking. One of the main reasons I bought the tablet was screen resolution and supposed sound quality...my kindle HD makes this sound like a joke. With the other comments here I'm wondering if I do in fact have a malfunctioning unit. Just five minutes ago I had my first random reboot too...

I returned my nexus and the new one is much louder. It was definitely a problem with the speakers.
is there a loudness BEATS audio or any mods apk file that improves the sound? i find it too low
Really? Looks like I'll be doing that today.

I too definitely find the speakers to be lacking. Videos on YouTube are very low and music is not anywhere near what I thought it would be! They made a big deal about the Fraunhofer audio but I am pretty disappointed.

I agree that the audio is quite low especially when compared to my S4. BUT the sound quality is better. I guess its give and take.

How can you tell the sound quality is better if you can't even hear it???

Many apps, videos and music files are quiet on mine too. It's the file not the tablet. For a song I just download from somewhere else. For apps you can edit the apk or just live with it. not much you can do unless you are quite familiar with computers.
I would really like to find a resolution for this issue. When I use any of my 3 external Bluetooth speakers, there is a really bad delay on the audio with the tab pro 8.4. My note 2 and Nexus 7 work great. I'm running cleanrom, but it did the same thing on stock. I would really appreciate some help. Does anyone have a suggestion?

I have this issue with the Tab and my Note 3, but it doesn't really bother me that much as it's rare (and pointless) to have sound coming from both the BT speaker and the device simultaneously.

When I am playing it through the bluetooth speaker, the sound doesn't come through the tablet speakers.

The audio and video are not in sync, so when people talk, their mouths move before the audio is played.

Ah yes, I apologise.. I use my BT speakers for music but I just tried a YouTube video and now see how bad the problem is. I am now hoping you find a fix and please share it if you do mate.

Same here
I love this tablet but small little things like this keep it from being perfect. I have a 12.2 wifi by the way.
This is an issue with Bluetooth itself. The is a lot of latency in the protocol, and even the best (aptx) you still have too much to sync with video.
