I have managed to get an external microphone to work with my fairphone but only on the voice recorder. It seems to automatically take the audio from true external (radio) mic. I can't get it to work with the video which is crucial for me because I bought the phone to film from a distance y=using the radio mic. Ideas please?
Maybe try a different Video capture APP? Or record audio separately with the voive recorder.

I have an external mic (called an iRig Mic) that connects to a phone with a headset-jack.
On an iPhone it can be used to record audio when shooting videos, but when i connect it to my Nexus S running android, the sound from the mic is not recorded. Instead the audio from the internal mic i used.
Is there any way to change the audio source when recording videos? This would be a great feature for journalists using their phone as a camcorder for interviews.
Recording audio via 3.5 jack on android using external microphone
You have to buy adapter which will split the signal for microphone in and audio out (you probably know 3.5 jack in your phone is 2 directional as it supports headset with mic)
You can try to look for it on Amazon (headset buddy)
or solder into headset in the pins which are responsible for mic signal.
Then,
I know only 1 app for android which supports recording from external microphone:
Arabela Audio Recorder - choose DEFAULT audio source and it should catch the signal from external mic connected through adapter via 3.5 jack.
I THINK it can catch the audio while recording video because it works in background ... so later you will be able to remove the audio from video recording and join it with the one you recorded using Arabela with some kind of video editor

couple of questions,
for the external mic is it stereo or mono?
any other programs you know that can capture external mic input since this post?
thanks!

Simple question, does it record audio videos in Stereo or Mono??
No one has the phone yet, so its hard to say right now. However, the store page for the device says it has 3 microphones, so there is a chance it does.
It is not likely that it has dual-mics for recording. The extra mics on a phone are typically only used for noise cancellation while the primary mic will change depending on usage. For example, the mic on the face is primary for normal phone calls, the mic on the bottom is primary during speaker phone useage and the one on the rear is primary for video.
According to this video: https://youtu.be/0Mp5Y3UTWH8?t=704
...it only records in mono.
I've used a mic splitter, and tried using software to record from an external mic, but the sound still comes from the internal mic, is it because capricorn does not support external mic, or software problem?
before I used Samsung S5 and everything was fine, when I recorded video or sound with an external mic ...
Hey folks,
im riding a motorbike and im planning on recording the intercom audio (connected via bluetooth to my phone) and have also attached a external mic to my phone for ambient audio.
2 questions:
is it possible to record call audio (like conference calls or phone calls) -- its not possible on my huawei mate 20 pro
is it possible to record sys / call audio AND external mic audio on same time? Maybe even in different audio streams?
would be nice if somebody could test this for me because i would like to purchase this phone
thanks in advance,

Many of the posts on working with an external microphone suggests you use open camera app or G-cam port apk. Which accepts an external microphone. While Oxygen OS OTA updates do not seem to add this feature. Many of you purchased an expensive external microphone to use with a stock camera for OP6t. But it does not seem to work.
An alternative approach to this problem is for both rooted and non-rooted is to make a WhatsApp call. Your mic is connected through a USB-C adopter with 3.5mm jack input TRRS to TRRS 4 pole plug.
While in a voice call switch to the stock OS camera and then record.
While you are recording stop the WhatsApp call and then go on taking the input from the external mic. once recording stops you need to go through the whole process again and again.
However, sometimes if the call goes longer in ringing mode. If you delay disconnecting the call while recording, the sound may go out of sync for video and audio. It's better to disconnect the call as soon as you start recording the video. But this solution is problematic for content creators. If something or any other app that can emulate WhatsApp calls would be good enough to make OS think of that external mic as input. I already tried with the stock screen recording app which has a microphone option but it does not work either.
After going through google search, I am not sure anyone would have any other alternative solution like Magisk Module or Xposed modules for external mic or any other. This issue with the external mic is widely ignored for the stock camera. Reason to work with Stock Camera is to take advantage of OP6T's 4k60fps and its best way to take what OP6t has to offer. While other apps do this with 30fps.
For those who are content creators like making youtube videos etc, the solution to this problem would be a gift for all to take advantage of OP6T to its full potential. Let me know if this partial solution helps.
