Hello, I have a quick question to ask. I want to record video using an external microphone for audio, but upon plugging into the TRRS (headphone) jack, the camera app does not detect an external microphone is being used. Is there a system file I can edit or an application I can use to make the default microphone my external microphone?
I am looking for the same functionality. I want to use an external Bluetooth microphone as input.

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
regards
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!

Hey, I'm looking for a way to use an external mic to record audio on my Nexus 7 2013 LTE. I did a quick search and didn't find anything so I apologize if I missed it. Looking for an app or possibly a rom that allows me to choose what apps see as the default mic. I'm willing to purchase a couple of minor accessories if needed.
Specifically, I'm trying to record sermons directly from the tape out on a mixer. I'm pretty sure this device has a trrs audio jack if I understand correctly and I already have a trss adapter that splits audio in and audio out, I just cant figure out a way to make an app use that mic input rather than the internal mic. I don't care what app is required as long as it's not outrageously priced as I'm paying for this myself.
It depends on what kind of microphone you're thinking of using. But so far as I know, plugging in a phone type external microphone would automatically cut off the internal and use the external instead, as in using app like skype or voice recorder. What do you need a special app for?

the "mic" would be a tape output from a mixer
Dear All,
I have a quite big problem, when I want to make a phone call in my car.
I connect the phone's audio out via a minijack to my car's radio and I want to use my phone's built in microphone for phone calls.
Unfortunately the mic does not record my voice loud enough. When I use the phone's built in loudspeaker it works fine, but when I use the car radio as sound output the mic does not record loud enough.
Does anybody know how to solve this issue?
My Samsung Galaxy Note 1 had a car mode available for this.
Thanks!
Simply, the headphone jack also contains the mic connector for a proper phone head/earphone and mic. Plugging your phone into your stereo via this jack disconnects the internal mic in favour of the headset mic which of course you won't have if you connect to the car stereo. So you are effectively disabling the ability to use the phone for calls when plugged in this way.
But the mic is NOT disabled. It is still enabled but is recording the voice as if it is being used like in a normal phone call. All I need is a function to switch the mic to some kind of a handsfree mode.
Sorry for my English.
With "normal phone call" I mean the phone being held right at your ear.
With "handsfree mode" I mean speakerphone mode.
So I need the audio out via stereo jack and I need the voice in via phone microphone in speakerphone mode...
Can you try using a cable that doesn't pass microphone? I think the difference is the full cable WITH mic uses 3 connections and the standard audio only uses 2.
This will prevent the internal microphone from being disabled.

I already use a standard audio cable with 2 connections only. The problem is not that the microphone is not working at all but it is not recording loudly enough. I simply want it to record as loudly as it does on speakerphone mode.
I am trying with the headphone jack or a USB-C adapter to the microphone and nothing works.
Thanks
Not sure what you're trying to do, but I have this mic (see first pic) and when I plug it into the phone's headphone jack I get this headset icon in the notification bar (see second pic). Using the built-in Record app I can see that the mic is definitely working when plugged into the phone. So as long as the mic you try to use is showing up as a headset it should work for you. Unless it's an issue with whatever app you're trying to use with the mic.
How to use external usbc microphone?
It is not working inside default Camera app in video mode.
Inside Google Camera I see swither between internal and external microphones, but still it is not working, external microphone is not listen
The hardware is fine, I have installed some wavrecorder app from Play store, and it uses usbc microphone very well, even with none prompt.
Is there any internal Settings to fix this issue? OR do I need any special app which will link usbc microphone with Camera app?
