Nexus 5X microphone in filming - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys. First I apologize for my English, I'm not sure. Anyway. I noticed that my Nexus 5X is capable of recording audio in stereo but filming it writes the mono audio. I wonder if you have any way to change this setting. I've tried other camera apps but failed.

Anyone?

Bluetooth mic not working

Hello everyone,
I paired my LG Tone HBS-700 with the Nexus 7. Audio works flawlessly but when it comes to microphone ...
When making a call in Skype or Viber I can't get the mic on the bluetooth headset to work. I can only hear audio. The mic on the tablet works fine but hey I bought a bluetooth headset to get away from the tablet and relax on the bed.
Any solutions?
I think this is known. Corded headset with mic doesn't work either.

I've griped on end over this and searched so I'll save you some time. It seems no app except for grooveip works with bluetooth recording. I haven't tried grooveip myself but others say it definitely works. If it wasn't for grooveip, I would suspect the proper audio profile isn't there in the nexus 7. I wish a dev could confirm this. I wouldn't have thought bluetooth mics would be a big thing. In my ignorance I assumed it would become your 'sound device' when paired and any app that attempted to record/capture audio would be re-routed to the bluetooth device. If it is a matter of apps being properly coded, maybe we'll have I dunno, 4 or 5 apps that work properly with bluetooth in a couple of years.
Yeah I'm being a little cynical but I was surprised how poor bluetooth support is when it doesn't seem to be the case on the bb/ipad side. The other disappointment with bluetooth is audio sync with gaming. So travelling and I feel like gaming I have to switch to a wired headset. I read it's an issue with bluetooth itself, but confirmed with a couple of friends the sync issue doesn't happen on playback or ipad.
Just to add it's not just gaming. Basically you'll only have audio sync with movies that are hardware decoded (e.g. when using google's movie player or youtube app), but try and play an xvid etc. So I think you'll find audio playback isn't flawless either.

[Q] Pick audio from bluetooth headset when recording video

Hi!
I have a GNex with 4.2.2 firmware and a Jabra Wave+ bt headset.
I tried to use BTMONO app to pick audio from BT when recording video.
Igcamcorder app let me choose to record the audio from the external mic instead of the terminal mic.
This configuration works very well with the Galaxy tab 2 10.1 and the same BT headset when activating BTMONO, but when using Galaxy Nexus its continue to use internal mic.
I really appreciate to use Galaxy Nexus with external BT mic. With this configuration i will be able to do professional video recording (Full HD and decent audio) with a very portable hardware.
Please let me know if there is a solution, even hacking firmware or using another app.
Thanks in advance,
Alessandro

[Q] No stereo sound in video recording

A quick search on Google and sample videos on YouTube reveal that the G3 is capable of and should record video with stereo sound, and yet I was disappointed to find out that my new G3 D855 does not record stereo sound in video no matter what I try.
I am also not able to record stereo sound on its own, any app that claims to be able to record stereo sound does not do that. ("Sound & Voice Recorder" by NLL, for example)
I am running official LG firmware (v21a) and I have rooted it in an attempt to modify /etc/media_profiles.xml to fix the problem, to no avail. I have also tried custom camera apps such as XCam LG, but that didn't help either.
Thanks for any help troubleshooting this.
Even thought its capable in my opinion yes it has 2 mics but 1 is for noise cancelling technicly u cant record stereo without 2 mics again in my opinion u need both a left and right channel. It might be stereo quality but tru stereo should need two mics for 2 diffrent reffrence points on sound i may horribly wrong and someone please correct me if im wrong
The mics are placed at two different points - one at the bottom of the phone next to the headphone jack, and the other is on the top of the phone next to the IR blaster. In this video you can see that there are separate L and R channels and you can hear the direction of the sounds that were recorded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRrVcgr3Ps8
See everyone every told me that the top mic was only for noise canceling

I tried this same thing to so thats the mono sound in videos
I guess this could be a possible solution:

Bluetooth audio quality question

Hello. I change phones alot and have noticed that some phones(all android) have better bluetooth playback than others.
I had a oneplus 7 pro before this phone and the bluetooth quality to my truck was great and had no issues but with this phone the highs sounds scratchy or like if the speaker is bad. But if i connect it with a wire connection it sounds great. Everything with the 2 phones is the same. On both i was using the galaxy watch and pretty much the same apps. On a previous phone the note 8 i had the same issue but it was a different car. Seems like its the way samsung handles bluetooth.
Has anyone had this issue? If so was there a fix?
Thanks

What do you mean?
The only two things I think about is the codec used that may be different across devices, and the Bluetooth settings that sync the phones volume with the headset (the differences are noticeable).
Since no DAC is used in Bluetooth, I don't think it can comes from them, for a same headset.
On Samsung phones you should run the adapt sound process. Try this.
I tried with the sync volume off too and no improvement.
I looked for the adapt sound and my phone doesn't have that setting. Or is it something different?
It's in Sounds and Vibration 》 Advanced Sound settings 》Sound Quality and effects 》 Adapt sound
You have to do this in a quiet place and ensure to answer honestly. If you can't hear the beeping press no.
After doing this the sound quality is night and day difference.
Ok found it. Ill play with it a bit. Thanks
I've had issues sometimes with audio being piped through the "Calls" Bluetooth channel versus the "Audio" channel so worth checking as the quality is obviously night and day.
I also like enabling Dolby Atmos on my Note 10+ for music so worth playing with too. Additionally, I recently found Samsung's Sound Assistant app which let's you customize a bunch of sound settings so worth checking out as well:

Is there an easy way to tell if the audio is going through the call channel?

Easiest is probably just uncheck calls in your phones BT settings for your truck (and make sure audio is enabled). If the sound is still not great then this isn't the issue.
Sorry to respond to an old thread, but I was wondering if any of this fixed the OP's problem. I followed all the recommendations here and on other threads but have not been able to solve my recent Bluetooth audio problem. The sound has been terrible lately.
Same issue here on my s10+. When playing any audio in my car via BT i hear the distortion/hissing noise especially when the song has a higher treble frequency.
I have just about tried all fixes i could find on Google, and no luck.
When connecting to my ear buds (Jabra Elite 65t) it disappears and checked in developer mode that it supports to AAC for BT Codecs.
But when connecting to the car it reverts to SBC.
The issue clearly lies on Samsungs side, as my brother has a Huawei p30 Pro, also has bluetooth 5 and plays amazingly well in all aspects (Bass-Mids-Treble).
I know I'm posting this almost a year later, but i am desperately looking for a fix.
SN. I have recently updated my phone to Android 10, despite all the complaints to Samsung from many users... Sadly this issue has not being fixed on my side.
From what i see online, people have given up on Samsung and opted for Rooting their Samsungs and installing Viper4Andriod.
Has any one done this and can confirm that it fixed the issue?

Recording External MIC + Conference Call?

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,
ras:fingers-crossed:
