What kind of microphones does the m8 use?
Is it dual microphones or maybe another solution? There is no info regarding this, interested to see what they did with the microphones after the problem with Nokia and ST.
Also how is the call quality and the Sound quality when you video record in noise places, is it as good as the first HTC one m7 with the dual microphones?
Still no info about this
Sorry for bumping but i want to know

We all know that HTC is heavily promoting the conference call feature with the big speaker on the back, but I haven't heard a single thing about the music quality.
So, a simple question to anyone who's been able to test out the TP2. How good is the speaker for listening to music?
Good question
I want to know too
Hope it has dual stereo speakers and not only one big on the back
Well, I thought I saw something like this in its launch video, and all it said about speakers is "Bi-Amped Dual Speaker phone". I think that means two speakers. The video is here if you'd like to interpret it for yourself. And maybe I'm just crazy, but I think I remember hearing that there is a dedicated woofer and tweeter on this device, so that could very well mean good audio quality. In addition, since HTC is advertising that conference calling feature so much, it seems that they would want good audio quality on it, otherwise it's just another speaker phone capable device. Just my thoughts anyway.

Judging from HTC's spec, "Noise-cancelling dual microphones and speakers", suggests more than 1 speaker. It ends with an 'S'. So 2 Speakers. 2 Speakers must be better than 1.
Guys, I am aware that the specs are better, but I'm wondering how that translates into real world performance. A speaker that's good enough for clear conference calls, isn't necessarily good enough for quality music playback
I can understand you completely. I think the only ones that can answer this is the ones that had the device for preview testings. Or you can wait until June, when it comes out.
For those that arnt aware, Bi-amped means the one speaker takes in two signals. Usualy one signal for the low frequences, and another for the mid's and highs. This results (due to genraly more power to the speaker) in cleaner/louder sound. But its also dependant on how much power is being put to it.
In theory, if these little speakers are in fact, bi-amped, they should sound alot better than if they were not, but this could also mean it sucks up more battery power.
Hey fellow EVO's!
I'm looking for a solution to the poor audio quality when recording in a high volume setting (concerts, jam sessions) when using the internal microphone.
Yes, I know that it is not the phone's main use as a personal recorder for this sort of scenarios, but as we all know, the iPhone does it a lot better and I'd really like to show up the iPhone geeks if possible by using an external mic with a recording app.
There's this multifunction audio cable from HTC that I've been thinking about buying and it's called an HTC YC A300 Multifunction audio cable. You can find it on Amazon.com
Any experience, creative ideas, development or anything of that sort that would help me out would be great as I'm sure other people would be able to benefit from the info as well!
Thanks in advance...
I haven't done it, but there is a microphone input in the headphone jack -- it's intended to support a wired headset. With the right cable you should be able to use an external mic.
The app Tape Machine records uncompressed wav files. Even with the internal microphone, it actually makes very decent recordings.
Thanks for the reply guys.
Do you think trying a Sony ECM DS30P might work? it's a direct connection compressor microphone.
I will definitely check out Tape machine. I've got the lite version now and i'm eager to try it now! Is it successful in loud environments?

It's better than the built in mic of the phone. Far, far from decent though.

That completely depends on the quality of the microphone, and how sensitive it is.
Well, I just bought myself one of those nifty little Sony compressor mics and I'm going to see how that works out. I may need a convertor to go in to the headphone jack so it recognizes the input, but I'm not sure.
Another way you could go possibly would be to us one of those multifunction cable things. The model is called: HTC P6300 Multifunction Audio Cable YC A200. There's also a YC A300 as well but I'm not sure of the difference between the two is besides the size.
Any new findings?

So i got that sony mic and a convertor so the phone thinks i'm using a headset...and with some apps, with the convertor it works and some, without, it works too. The only issue i'm having is that the internal mic is still on and working while recording. I want the external mic that I'm plugging in to be the ONLY mic it's using and I'd like to control the input volume.
Any insight as to how we could do that?
I have been looking for a solution to this for over a year. It really sucks that everything else about the device is great except this one feature. As for the iPhone, it sounds like Apple has utilized some kind of filter to reduce the bass the phone records (in my experience, the bass is what causes the distortion in the recording).
If Apple can do it, why can't HTC? :?
I was wondering if anyone would know about a great external mic that works with the One X, I was looking for something similar to this iphone one http://www.onsources.com/product_images/q/324/iphone_recorder__56380_zoom.jpg (3.5mm jack) but I actually want a bigger one with more premium sound quality. Couldn't find any on the market, I also don't know if they'll work with the One X...
Please help me, thanks
Just ordered a similar one today so should get it for Friday. Had one for my iPod but will take it as lost due to size. If it does work it will trick the phone into thinking the headphones are in. But if you are recording a band etc that shouldn't be a problem.
I have the following problem with my HTC One M9:
Some days ago people that I called or people who called me on my HTC One M9 suddenly reported bad hissing sounds during our call to that extend that they could not understand me. I can't hear those sounds on my side. The hissing noise seems come and go arbitrarily.
I already checked different circumstances switching off WLAN/Bluetooth/LTE/UMTS/2G but the hissing sounds seem to remain. I even did a factory reset, nothing changed.
Then I tried to record some sound via the HTC Voice Recorder app and immediately could hear the hissing noise when playing the recorded sound. Using headphones with an external mic: no hissing sound was to could be heard when listening to the recording. I even used a vacuum cleaner to eliminate the possibility of any dirt behind the grill.
Is this a common problem with the HTC One M9? Has anyone had this problem before? Maybe its a hardware fault...
I have had that issue too but mainly while in the car. Maybe it's the mic going nuts because its one of those that eliminates background noise yet in the car its like a sound studio..
I dont know the cause either.

Guys What is your opinion about the headphone audio quality from op3? I know audio is subjective and it depends upon your listening equipment too but nonetheless share your opinion.
P.S - I know it's not better than HTC 10 but comparison with HTC 10 would be a good reference.

I see you have a HTC 10, please share your opinion once you receive the op3
I'll be getting one too, so I'll report about it. Unfortunately there aren't many, if any USB-C Portable DAC, if you wanted to use one to boost audio quality/performance.
I'm also wondering the same thing and it's basically what's holding me from buying the phone.

It uses NXP Audio Amplifier. I had the review unit and did a teardown with one of my friends. The sound quality is Good via the headphone jack but it feels quite flat. You can fix this by Using V4A Or other EQs. It uses a Dirac HD Sound too.
As said, it uses the standard snapdragon 820 audio circuit and 24bit 192 kHz built in dac. As in the S7, audio is unexceptional (exynos version has wolfson derived Dac and is better but is said to still not be up to outboard Dac/amplifier quality).
Apps like viper and power amp will not help to increase sound quality. They may make things sound different but the limitations are hardware based. If anything, they put more strain on resources. Sure, if the pretty multi coloured lights appeal, use them. Otherwise you're better off with Google standard music player or something like black player.
If audio is of utmost importance go HTC/LG or outboard dac such as dragon fly.

can you tell me how to prove whether Dirac HD Sound is there or not as there is no app also as per their website Indian one it says for speaker optimization only
How's that in comparison to the iphone's ? I'm gonna buy that dope today
