When using the stock camera (updated to latest version 8.5...) to film I noticed that the audio of the filmed footage is extremely low unless the microphone was placed right by the source. It's as if the phone is trying to block any distant sounds. If a sound is a few feet away it will be barely audible when playing back the recording. Has this been an issue? Any suggestions?
I tried going back to an older version of the app, but same problem.

Annoying loud audio hiss during calls and playback of camera video but not whilst watching Youtube or video from external sources or listening to mp3s.
I’ve had a GSM Galaxy Nexus for a week now.
Absolutely love this phone but there’s one problem that’s driving me mad.
There is a quite loud constant background hiss during phone calls.
It’s worst during calls over the phone’s built-in earpiece but is also audible if you plug in headphones.
What’s more the same hiss is on videos I shot with the phone’s camera but audio is clear as a bell watching Youtube videos, listening to mp3s or watching video files not recorded on the device.
Please note this is not GSM “chirping” noise interference you sometimes get but a constant hiss that starts as soon as speaker actives.
I thought it might be to do with microphone but the hiss is still there if you mute the mic during calls.
This is more likely to be a software fault isn’t it? As I hear clear audio when listening to mp3s and non-native video files.
BTW- It’s not my phone network as I’ve tried my sim card in another phone and it’s fine.
I also tried a sim card from a different phone company in the nexus and the hiss was still there.
The phone shows full signal strength and is logged onto HSDPA.
Does this sound like a software problem that will probably get updated or does it sound like I have a dud device?
I’d rather not take the phone back on the off chance as everything else on it, the screen etc, is perfect.
Anyone else having this problem?

Did it resolve the issue for either of you?
Hey everyone. Is there a better microphone? I'm tired of recording video on this phone and having the audio playback completely distorted. I am trying to use my Hercules as a secondary video cam when I am shooting live music. It seems no matter loud or quiet the band is or where I am relative to monitors or pa speakers, the audio when played back is completely worthless and not usable no matter how I manipulate the audio track with filters, compression, removing background noise, etc... . If anyone has an idea other than buying a second GoPro videocam, I would gladly listen.
Hi,
I have very annoying issue in my Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
I'm running LiquidSmooth 3.1 (4.4.4 KitKat) ROM.
Cutting to the chase, when I'm recording video (through stock app or google camera from Play store) my phone records right channel audio very well (bottom microphone). Unfortunately audio recorded by top mic (left channel; camcorder mic) is very looooow on volume.
Example: I record a video, then I upload it on my computer, starts playing it - I can hear audio in right speaker, left one seems totally quiet. When turning volume up to the max, I can hear audio in left speaker but it's still very quiet.
I thought it's just video recording problem, but I tested it with Easy Voice Recorder Pro - when recording mono, everything is fine. When recording stereo - same issue as while recording videos.
Does anybody encountered same issue? Is it software issue, maybe whole ROM related? Or is it hardware issue?
Thanks

Well, not especially rom related, but all AOSP, CM etc. seem to have those sound issues atm. If it is important for you, consider a TW rom.

Okay, thanks for answer.
Is it happening to everyone or just some unlucky people?

It is very common issue for all users, as I said: atm=at the moment. Even phone calls can suffer from mic troubles.
One important thing: It might be solved already lately or in the next hours or days. Read in the threads
Today i was checking my 2days old pixel 2 xl.. and found something weired. Very noticable at full volume..
The speakers ( both top and bottom) plays music with crackling sound. It happens with all players.. including mx and youtube.
Seems like playing some low bitrate audio/video even when i am playing 4k hdr10 webm file ( which i downloaded to check hdr)
I thought it was due to some audio mods from xposed.. so i removed it and check again.. its still there..
Did someone have the same issue?
I can blast youtube videos or music at full blast and it sounds fine but yes, others have reported distorted audio output from the speakers on these phones.
I had my first device sent back for this reason. I haven't noticed it yet on my second one.
Hello,
I noticed when I record video on my Samsung Galaxy s9+ (using the front camera), the audio quality will sound normal, but at some point, the audio quality will drop, as if someone took out the bass or treble in the audio. It will last a few seconds before eventually returning to normal.
Note, the phone is on a tripod, so nothing is blocking the microphone at any point.
I even went into the phone settings a few weeks ago and deleted the data, figuring it was a faulty file, and hoping it would "reinstall" or update to the latest version, but I don't believe it updated itself, and if it did, the problem remains (problem occurred a few hours ago today)
Anybody else have this problem?
