Hi All,
I have been using the Open Camera app for my video recordings on the Mi A2 Lite so far pretty successfully..This App is really nice with all the options also getting me
nice 4K Footage with high Datarates...
Now I want to shoot some interviews where I need to have a wireless Audio interface, using either my Stereo Bluetooth Headset,
Bagotte Sport Kopfhörer Kabellos with Bluetooth V4.1 + EDR-Audio-Decodingtechnology with HD-Microphone with CVC6.0, so
see: https://amzn.to/2V8bAdg
which claims to have a HD Microphone and supports Apt-X Codecs...
But I can´t get it to work with Open Camera APP. I also tried using the External Microphone settings and have tested a few BlueTooth Audio routing apps..
but I could not get the Open Camera App to work with this headset....
But there is a video which shows, how to change the Bluetooth codecs in the Mi A2 Lite:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVK4UIHOEGE
And I can also change this in my phone....
But I am always stuck with the lower quality SBC 8 Khz sampling codec, especially, when using Audio calls in Skype or other Bluetooth Audio recorder
apps.
I only found one app, that works with the headset for video recording that was
Wireless Video Recorder App
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webmirchi.Wirelessvideorecorder
but there is the problem, that I can not switch it to 4K, although it shows the setting and
also the audio with the Bluetooth headset is only recording with 8 Khz sampling frequency with my headset, so the sound is
just very muffled and has no good audio....
So is there any solution to get the Open Camera App to work with Bluetooth headsets and also switching the codecs, so to get
a real good Wideband Audio codec with at least 16 Khz sampling frequency or better at least 44 or 48 Khz ?
Many thanks.
Regards, Stefan.
It seems from some other replies in another thread, that the MiA2-Lite has a bad Bluetooth implementation....
So I guess it is better then to just buy a wireless audio interface and put it into the Microphone-Headphone connector or go via USB to connect
an external Wireless microphone....
Does anybody know how to connect a USB microphone or an analog Audio interface via the USB connector and can it then be used together with Open Camera ??
Many thanks.

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!

Im having an issue with audio quality on bluetooth audio music , on any touchwiz rom it sounds compressed and awful the only rom i found it sounded good on was cm10 but i missed the functionality of spen. Both roms were ran on same bluetooth soundbar.
So my question is have any of you noticed the bluetooth audio quality or is it something on my end, if you have are there any solutions to improve the audio quality.

I am running JediX11 and i use PowerAmp music player. It sounds great and has a 10 band EQ If you try it o don't recommend using the "stereo x" setting it adds more of that compressed audio sound. I use Bluetooth to connect to my car stereo and a portable speaker set i have. I can tell no distinct difference between the BT audio and the headphone jack. I also uninstalled beats audio, Its just another layer of equalization software that can really degrade sound quality (i tried every possible setting before i removed it).
It's there a way to use the tablet like a high def camcorder as Lollipop supports now USB audio?
- video its great
- audio not really
Purpose is to use mics like Zoom h2n, as a stereo mic for videos recorded with our tab s beasts .
The TRRS workaround its only recording MONO.
The AUDIOFI software I use its only for AUDIO rec.
Need a program that eats video and audio simultaneously.
Any ideas ?
Hi,
I have a Bagotte Stereo Bluetooth Headset, which works in Stereo Mode in Music Listening only mode in good quality...
See:
https://amzn.to/2V8bAdg
which claims to have a HD Microphone and supports Apt-X Codecs...
But now I wanted to try to change the Audio codecs to see, what are the best sounding Audio Codecs...
So I found this Android app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wikimediacom.aptx.checker
the Apt-X checker,
but after watching this video, which shows, how to change the audio codecs in the phone:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVK4UIHOEGE
And I can also change this in my phone....
But the Apt-X checker APP does not detect, when I have enabled the Apt-X codecs...
And I also hear no difference....
Also this app has bad review and saying it is a bogus App.... Hmm....
So how can I enable these codecs and test them out the best way with this headset ?
Are there any better Bluetooth testing Apps, that really tell me the used codecs and its settings ?
Or how can I find this out ?
Many thanks.
Regards, Stefan.
Xiaomi provides poor codecs support. Right now, Mi A2 Lite is using SBC codec only, while on Oreo we at least have had access to AAC too.

Many thanks for these infos.
I just installed a good Audio player today and then went into the Developer mode setup and set the Bluetooth Audio codecs to Apt-X 48 Khz and 32 Bit
and then started the player. but after each stop it switched back to SBC 16 Bits 44 Khz....
So no luck with switching the Bluetooth Headset to APT-X, which my headset supports... Damn..
Also my BT Headset supports under Skype only 8 KHz sampling rate... I really can hear the difference between it and and normal
wired headset when I call the the test-echo Service of Skype... with the wired Microphone it is much clearer, than with the Narrowband
SBC codec with my Bagotte BT Headset...
So is there any other solution to get the headset to work with a Wideband Codec also in Skype and other Audio applications like Audio recorders,
which at least use a sampling frequency of 16 or better 44 or 48 KHz via Bluetooth ?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/basic-aptx-bluetooth-audio-pie-t3891715
So, if you install Magisk on Andoid 9 Pie you will get ALL the Bluetooth codecs to work or what ??
I already considder installing a custom ROM , which does fully support the Wideband codecs under Skype Audio calls and other audio applications..
I would like my BT Stereo Headphone with APT-X to work with Skype with Wideband codec and also use my BT Headset for
Audio recordings with at least 44 or 48 Khz sampling frequency and not just the 8 Khz Mono SBC Codec that is really crappy....
Which custom Rom does this allow on the Mi-A2 Lite ?
How about the Lineage OS versions or MUI versions ?
Many thanks.

Hi, is there any possible way to increase sound quality over bleutooth? I always stream music from deezer to my car stereo over bluetooth, but on MI9SE sound is too flat and little bit buzzy...

I am using it and it's fine. Music gets transmitted digitally via bluetooth, so either your car bt adapter is old or broken. I am using different bt devices with sbc and apt-x and all work fine. Xiaomi.eu weekly rom
so maybe my device have some bug, because when i connect honor 10 or galaxy s9 sound is rich and clear...
i am using lastest xiaomi.eu stable rom and car is Fiat 500X with built-in nav...
