[Q] bad audio on video recordings

I attend a lot of concerts and whenever I record video the picture is quite decent but the sound quality is awful. It seems like the recorded sound level is too high (too much gain), so the sound is very much distorted.
It is not related with the rom, I'm using RSK team Special Edition ROM and I had the same issue on stock Froyo.
Is there any way to fix this or can someone recommend an app to get better sound in videos?
thanks

Audio recording in MONO with all AOSP roms

Hi guys, I would like to report a bug that has been spotted on all AOSP roms from 4.2.2 till 4.4.2 so far. Using any AOSP based rom (Probam, CM, Omnirom etc) when recording a video it turned up to have the audio recorded only for the right channel (you can hear that by playing the video in a PC o trough headphones). The weird thing is that it doesn't happen if insteat of using the rear camera you record a video by using the front facing one: in that case the audio will be stereo!! That's pretty weird and I am wondering if there is a fix for this (maybe a different kernel or app).
Would be awesome if someone report it to developers, in case they aren't aware of that. Thanks

Any update on this? I'm on Paranoid Android 4.4.2 latest and still see this issue? Any workarounds would be great to hear.

AOSP Based ROM with great audio recording quality ??

Hi there...
I would like to use some AOSP based ROM on my LG G3 D855, but I've already tested many, and all of them have a poor audio recording quality.
On the video recording, the audio is pretty acceptable, but if you try to record any music playing at a high volume with some bass (on shows / parties), you will get a distorted and clipped audio.
When recording audio through WhatsApp (or any other audio recording app) the situation is even worst, even voice-only recordings have a really bad quality and noise.
With Stock-based ROMs, none of this problem happens, I can record songs with high volume even when using Whatsapp and it doesnt sound creepy.
So, is there any ROM with a audio comparable to the official-based ROMs?
Thanks in advance... Im really seaching for it. :crying:
PS: I pretend to record a song with both stock and aosp roms, and share the audio here so you can compare it by yourself.

Bump
I have the same issue and I was wondering if there's any solution. Microphone quality is absolutely terrible! My daily driver is Ressurection Remix.

I'm having the same problem on XenonHD. I can't understand what the other guy is saying after recording calls.

This issue is related to stock roms having proper drivers (or framework) to record sound. AOSP does not have access to this so it is noisy. This alone is the only reason I'm still on stock based rom. I really want to use AOSP, but cannot without proper call recording.

Yea I also wonder about a solution.

Overdrive sound in recorded video on concert.

When I record a normal video, the sound is beautiful.
Yesterday I recorded video on concert, the sound recorded with overdrive. example:

My wife also recorded together with me concert on Meizu MX6 - the sound is excellent.
I assume that the Automatic Microphone Gain Control does not work correctly.
How to solve this problem with sound overdrive on video on the OP 3T?

This problem has been frustrating me a lot as well.

A little understood the problem. Overdrive of sound appears on ROMs based LineageOS & AOSP in ROMs based OxygenOS sound great!

Solution for bad camcorder audio quality?

Hello,
I´m still very annoyed by the very bad audio recorded by the standard MIUI Camera app. When trying to record a concert or band, the bass is totally distorted and the audio is unusable. My device is rooted and IIRC there has been some threads about modding the mixer_paths files to improve the AGC or fix the messed up noice cancelling or use better bitrates or different audio profiles but I´m completely lost and did not find those threads...
So my simple question is: was there ever a solid and final solution to the poor camcorder audio??
Thanks!
