I have recently switched from S3 to Note 2 and I have experienced a significant change in gtalk sound. Now it's significantly darker, and my partner and I miss the slight bright noise in our audio conversations. She's had no changes on her phone and besides, before selling my S3 we had the chance to test both devices at once and clearly the sound was worse in note 2.
I had tried several things regarding microphone gain: N.E.A.K. kernel with wolfson audio control, alsa mixer, default_gain.conf tweaking, with not very noticeable changes.
I figure out the problem is not mic gain but noise cancellation. There's an option in stock phone app to switch it on or off during a call. Also some apps for sound recording have that option (Asr from play store).
Is there any way to disable noise cancellation under gtalk? Maybe in a configuration file? Does anybody know where that file is? Or maybe there's a way to disable noise cancellation globally?
Thanks for your help!
Have you tried disabling noise cancellation from your phone settings? Not sure if it will affect gtalk, but it's worth a shot.

I have a question for GN owners,
Is there an option in ICS to permanently disable the Noice Reduction feature during calls? Maybe it's in the Call/Sound settings? I'd appreciate if someone would look around for me.
good question, my experience with Samsung with call quality is not quite good (coming from an Galaxy S user).
I hope that Nexus has good noise reduction built in. but does it have Noise Reduction dedicated mic ?
Noise cancellation has a dedicated mic.
I think someone created a mod to disable that on the nexus one. Pretty sure you can do the same to the gn.
Yeah I'm voice issues with my S2 when Noise Reduction is enabled, so I have to disable manually it on every call. Would be more convenient if it can be disabled permanently on ICS, without having to root.
So I get why noise cancellation can be useful during calls, but noise cancellation in video recording is absolutely ridiculous!
Also I find while recording audio from an audio recording app that even there was no noise cancellation selected for the app, my OnePlus 3 was still working it!
Please...Please! I don't want this! It is spoiling my experience of a perfect phone.
Yawn... go to the audio mods thread... there is a fix for that... please read around in the forums first before opening a new thread, thanks.
Have an issue where on most calls I am not heard very well. mic test applications and call recorders all do perfectly but just on calls.
After some digging it seems oppo users had a similar issue and it was caused by the noise cancellation mic. They had some success editing the build.prop file to disable noise cancellation and apparently adjust internal mic volume.
I'm not sure if zenfone 2 has this hardware or not but anyone have any ideas? Currently running cm13 and see now built in options to adjust noise reduction or tty or any such settings.
Thanks
Hello all.
With other, older cellphone models, I used to have the leisure habit of recording audio (messages or files) to save/send live songs recordings. Granted, the quality was never impeccable, but at least I could hear the bass notes (or their distortion whenever the sound source was near enough).
Now, whatever method of noise reduction (NR) the Moto G5S employs is ruining this experience. Hearing the bass is crucial for samba and capoeira. The NR kicks in after 2 or 3 seconds from the beginning of the recording. Does anyone know of a way to disable it?
There's noticable noise suppression in video recordings which really affect the audio quality. As much as I like it on phone calls, I don't always record voices when shooting video. The noise suppression really destroys the sound of the environment. Anyone know a way to disable it?

Only way which I think is shooting in manual mode and disable wind filter, and optionally use HiFi audio recording which will enable recording sound track in lpcm.
But I very much doubt that tiny mics of G7 are capable to correctly picking ambient audio of 10-20 dB volume levels. They're too tiny, you should rely on external USB microphone with much higher sensitivity
