Today people I called couldn't hear me while I could hear them fine. I thought maybe the mic had gone kaput but when I tried the voice recorder app I could hear myself albeit at very very low volume. Then I tried taking a video and the audio was perfectly fine. No recent software updates to the phone apart from updating HTC Backup , HTC Weather , Google Play Music and Google via the Play Store. Obviously the mic is fine (to some degree anyway) so how can I force Android to always use it the way the camera app does? I'm stock at the moment.

Last night I tried downloading a volume booster app to help with the speaker since I had read some good things. Since then, the speaker has not been working correctly. For ringtones and alarms, the audio works fine. If I try to watch YouTube or listen to Google Music, the speaker does not work. Everything works fine with headphones in.
Does anyone know a way to fix this? I uninstalled the volume booster apps but they are still not working. I'm currently unrooted as an FYI. I tried to just do a factory reset but that wouldn't even go through
Hello!
Alright so here's the deal. When I go to record videos on apps such as keek or vine or even now instagram - the videos all have such low audio it's like there is no audio unless I like yell in the video. Now when recording with the standard camera app everything is just fine - no audio problems. The volume is the same both times - at it's highest but I just can't seem to figure out what kind of problem this is. My mic is fine in phone calls etc etc - but any apps from google play = terrible audio! So... tell me people - what shall I do?

Hi there
When recording videos with Snapchat, the sound is way too quiet. When using other apps like voice recorder or the camera app, it works fine. I also recently replaced the battery cover
I suspect the issue is something regarding which microphone Snapchat uses. Maybe the the mic doesn't function properly without the noice cancellation mic, which Snapchat may not utilise etc.
Does anyone else have this issue? Does anyone know how to fix it?
heres some more info on the problem: snapchat only records audio with the top mic on this phone, which is probably supposed to be used for noise cancellation. this issue is not apparent in all non-sense roms, like cm10.2 and aosp based romps; the mouthpiece mic is used to record audio so the audio works fine. but then in custom roms the camera profile is different, so it is not possible to record 10 second videos in snapchat. it stop recording at about 6 seconds. heres more info on the 2nd issue: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-2343.
Thanks

Heey .. I've the same problem with my HTC ONE X ... this is what I dislike about Android in general, each phone has its own running kinda system, yet all android apps are the same in every device despite the differences.

yup i m using this device since 15 days.... call recorder working confirmed
i m using "Automatic call recorder" u can find it on google playstore
Call recorder doesn't work with headphones plugged in
Unfortunately, I haven't found a call recorder that actually works when you switch the recording source to "voice call" on Moto Z2 play. I can record no problem using the "mic" option but that doesn't help if you're using a Bluetooth headset or regular plug-in headphones. Additionally, recordings don't sound nearly as clear coming from the person on the other end of the phone since it's just the phone's built in microphone picking up the sound coming through the earpiece on your phone. Does anyone know if any call recording apps actually work with the "Voice call" recording source (with headphones plugged in)?
Is there an application records via kernel? No microphone bs.
Hello
I've been using Callbox (I can't post the link as I'm new to the forum but you'll find it on play - automatic call recorder CallBox) for a few months now and it really works. I've tried some others before and never got the seeked result (often problems with recording while on bluetooth or poor quality).
Callbox works great on Moto Z Play (I'm on RETEU 7.0, not rooted, original ROM). Nice quality on both sides and no problem recording when I'm on bluetooth connection in my car. I use my Z Play for my pro calls and use it a lot.
Good integration also with Google drive.
Have a nice day

I use "call recorder" (paid) https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441643&page=1 and it seems to work well. It's not on the play store currently for some reason but when I started using it - it was.

Thank you.
It works fine on Moto Z2 Play as well.
Hi.
I have been using this forum for years but this is the first time I started a thread so I hope it hasn't been answered before. I did a search but didn't see anything that matches my query.
I have a Sony bravia XF9005 running android 7 and I haven't updated android since I bought it.
I was trying to get a video conferencing app to work on the TV because I had been using screen mirroring from apps on my phone but the quality was hit and miss and it wasn't as convenient as doing it directly on the TV.
I have managed to get Skype Lite, Zoom and Jami onto the TV and used TV App Repo to create shortcuts for them in the launcher.
I have connected a logitech C270 webcam to the TV and got it to work for video. I got this working by switching the TV to pro mode and running Skype which then connected to the camera. When I switch back to normal TV mode Skype, Zoom and Jami all work fine with the camera but the audio mic built-in to the camera is not working.
I got around this problem by connecting a USB mic to another USB port on the TV and it works well when I can get the apps to connect to it. The mic I am using is a Blue Yeti.
In Skype lite if I make a video call to another Skype account everything seems fine until both devices are connected but then I have no audio from the Yeti. I have found a quick way around this is to make an audio call to the other device, the yeti is recognised and the audio works perfectly, then I just switch on the video and both work fine. It is the same for receiving a Skype call, if I answer with video the Yeti doesn't work but if I answer as audio only it works fine, then I can just switch the video on and it's all good again. I'm not too bothered about this as the workaround is easy enough.
In Zoom I have been able to get it to work well with both the camera and the mic but there are problems with it too. When I first installed the latest Zoom app and started a meeting it asks me for permission to use my video and my audio. When I give permission both work perfectly and I have had 4 devices in a meeting with no problems at all. As long as I don't close the app I can go from meeting to meeting with no problem but when I close the app and open it again I have no audio from the Yeti. I found a workaround on this as well but it is not as easy as the Skype one. Before I open Zoom I go to the app settings and permissions and disable the microphone permission for Zoom. Then when I create a meeting the app asks me for the mic permission and everything works perfectly again.
I have gone into the developer options and changed the Select USB Configuration to Audio Source. I have also allowed zoom to automatically switch on the sound in one of its settings but neither has made any difference. It seems like after the app is closed it doesn't recognise the mic on the next use.
Is there a way of automatically disabling a permission for an app after the app is closed or does anyone know of another workaround. I know that the apps aren't designed to work on the Android TV version of Android but bar these little problems they do work well.
I haven't really played around with Jami as much as the others so I haven't looked to see if I can get the audio working with it but the video works fine. I also tried the normal Skype app but it tends to turn itself into portrait mode when you are making calls or changing settings whereas the Skype Lite app runs perfectly in landscape all the time and it is much quicker too.
I was going to try Tellybean but I haven't got around to it yet plus most people already know Skype and now Zoom whereas I'm not sure how wide Tellybean is known.
Thanks for any help.
Hmm, a difficult situation. Have you solved this problem yet? A friend of mine works with conferences on https://brightvisionevents.co.uk/conferences / and he often gives me advice about my work because I often use conferences. I had a similar situation. Most likely, this is an incorrect operation of the microphone drivers. I think either reinstalling Windows or removing the microphone drivers and installing them from the official website of your Blue Yeti microphone can help you. I hope my advice helped you and you will solve your problem. Write if you have succeeded in everything, maybe it will help someone. Good luck!
