A few days ago my LG G4 updated to Marshmallow/Android 6.0. Great
However, since then, any video I shoot on the G4, then import into Sony Vegas Movie Studio 10, does not actually get the video track.
Example of what I mean: http://imgur.com/U33H1K3
Have tried/notes:
Video from before the MM update still works fine
Video from other sources (e.g. my Sony a6000) works fine
Updated and rolled back (yes, both) quicktime - based on Googling
installed x264vfw - again based on googling
Converting the same video in VLC to something else works
I know it's pretty specific, but any other LG G4 + Sony Vegas (any version) users noticed this?
Tested on the lousy zenfone 3 zoom (stock 3.5mm audio sucks inspite of DAC chip because of the poor engine optimization) and it worked like a champ but i believe other devices with SN 625 may benefit from it and they are A LOT, (use 709 build ONLY) other builds won't work as good, i tested them all.
Please do make a feedback on which other device this worked.
Snapdragon 845 devices (e.g. Sony XZ2) – improved Hi-Res Output detection
Sony XZ/XZ1 – improved Hi-Res Output detection
Lenovo X3 – reenabled 24bits
OnePlus (1st edition) – disabled DVC for Hi-Res output due to forced speaker playback
added new per-output option – No Duck – for cases when notification causes issues. Activated by default for Hi-Res output for some Snapdragon 625 devices (Asus Zenfone 3)
HTCs @ 7.0 – improved Hi-Res Output stability
Nexus 6P – fixed notification coloring
Enjoy Hi-Res music all.
Direct download, use poweramp unlocker to activate it.

Can't see any difference on the audio on Poweramp with this option set for active. The audio quality really sucks on this device.

Did you toggle the 'Wired headset/AUX" ? and was your test with headphones or via the loud speaker? and what your headphones are?
This release 709 worked for me gloriously! the only problem that it's not free and needs some work that you can find on youtube or i would post a fellow up about the odds of activating it but i just needed a conformation that it at least made a difference by utilizing the DAC chip on board!!

I've downloaded the apk you uploaded and followed the screenshots. It made zero difference to the sound quality. Poweramp DVC is great on other devices, but on my zenfone it sucks, the audio is distorted, the only way to tolerate the audio quality is by disabling it. Best player I could find so far for my zenfone is Phonograph.

The zenfone 3 zoom have an amazing sound quality and believe me the bass is insane via a good headphones, you just need to find a solution to make use of it's potentials, if you want to go throw troubleshooting provide some more information like the exact model and what software build you are currently running... you are right about the distortion i was very upset with the sound quality at the beginning but poweramp made the DAC work properly.

I wouldn't say that the sound quality on the zenfone 3 zoom is amazing. This DTS audio thing is terrible and makes sound awful. I've installed an even older version of poweramp and tried your solution, and it made a difference with my JBL T210 (not the best one around, surely). However, using Poweramp with DVC on an old Galaxy S6 that I have laying around is still miles better. Sound quality is my only complaint about this phone, that's why I was hoping for a custom rom for this thing.

Yeah you're absolutely right that DTS is a marketing thing and it sucks, you just keep trying on that poweramp 709 build only and try downloading it from APKPURE or somewhere else because the one that i provided was patched with lucky patcher and i hoped it would work with a non-rooted device to skip the activation process but apparently that is not the case, after i reflashed the phone and got rid of the root access i had to install poweramp unlocker and i have to reinstall the the main app every 2 days because without the root i can't seem to be able to activate it, keep digging, i know what a good DAC sounds like, it's not an HTC native level but it's miles ahead of the stock drivers and even better than viper4android module on magisk.

No worries about that. I've purchased the app years ago. The only thing now is that I can't allow it to update. Thanks for the hint, the sound is clearly better now.

I went to an electronic party last weekend so I could finally test the audio recording quality on extreme situations.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzfXQqgGZ1M
Turns out its really awful. Even my friend with a Motorola G5 have better audio quality. That is pretty disappointing for me, as I'm also a DJ and music producer so I make videos under this circunstances a lot. Also it impacts song-finder apps, as the quality is so bad that the app can't recognise the song.
Is there anything that can be done via software? Custom ROM or tweaks... Or is it a matter of the microphone (hardware) quality itself?
Btw I've already tried recording with the Open Camera App selecting the "unprocessed" audio source. Gets distorted same way.
Thanks in advance.
I confirm the existence of a similar problem for me and several people. How can this be fixed at least temporarily?
Thanks in advance.

Can't really call it a "problem" since it affects all Xiaomi phones. It's just a standard quality microphone paired with bad software otimization. I did some tests and the microphone is actually capable of capturing audio with less distortion under these conditions, the problem is the processing applied to the audio isn't optimized for these situations, making it distort.
Did you have the same issues using other kernels or roms? I confirm I've been getting similar issues also

Yea I tried every rom and kernel... all the same.
If it was only at shows... could live with it. But the audio distorts even at daily things like recording messages on whatsapp when inside a vehicle (I reported this on another thread). I get really frustrated.
Same here..I participate at the lot of Trance events and simply, audio is one big bulshitt. (like at 99% of Android phones). For loud events recordings, iPhones are still the best

Exactly... I always had android, then I swiched to an iphone 6s only because of the audio I knew was good... now I finally came back to android (cause I love the OS and its variety of functions compared to iOS) and unfortunately suffering again with poor audio recording. The few android I know can handle this are the top-end Samsung (S8, S9, S10). I heard about HTC also but never got to see or test it personally.
Altough I really can't understand why manufacturers don't take this audio thing more seriously, they leave this aside like no one cared about audio quality lol

Damn, I thought I was the only with this kind of concern and this is the reason I'm currently using an iPhone 6s as my second phone just for audio recording. In my case I like to listen and play metal music with my band in a rehearsal room, so I always used my phone to record my rehearsals to see my band's progress and some other things and the best phone with a good recorder was the Mi 8 Lite until someone robbed me.
Idk why Xiaomi don't take a look to this issue, I mean, I'm not saying they have to listen to heavy metal or something like that, just realize the many scenarios the people would use the recorder app or the camera, e.g. in concerts.

Most android manufacturers lose users to Apple just because of details like this, they don't realize how important this might be for some users. I mean, take for example artists on the music world... these are influent people... and 99% of them use iPhones because of things like the audio quality.
Anyway... this conversation can go really far.
Talking about the Mi 9 SE... mostly the cause of the the bad audio quality is bad software optimization. Xiaomi could get this a lot better with just some simple updates. I've tried modifying some microphone options, turns out it can actually record with less distortion (not really perfect but better). Still a bit of the guilt is on the microphone hardware itself... its kinda cheap.
try cameramx app, set audio source to external. it worked quite well at a muse concert.
the issue is the recording volume too high which affects also whatsapp vocal messages.
somebody solved it on rooted devices by installing root volume mixer pro, set the microphone gain to -3. this wasn't tested at loud events, only on whatsapp.

I've tried using Open Camera with audio source set to unprocessed. Didn't solve it for me, got a bit less distortion but still a lot (maybe bacause the sound was really extremely loud). Will try with "external" source.
I was trying to modify the mic gain directly on the system files, but I'm gonna try that volume mixer pro thing also. Ty.

Did it make it any better?
I have the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE , i love the phone, but yes the recording quality is terrible. i downloaded the Root volume control, but when im in the path files, i dont know what changes to make.....
What is the recording mic on the camera called in the files??.......what values am i looking for??......
How many changes to i need to make.......??
I don't know ir the problem is because harware or software, but this problem doesn't happen in all Xiaomi phones, because models like Mi 9T (Pro version also) or Mi 8 records the audio clearly, also, remember that an user said that the Mi 8 Lite has a good quality of audio recording (I don't know if the NORMAL Mi 9 (not SE) records well the audio). Probably the problem is from the hardware, because phones like a big part of Redmi or other Android has a low quality mic, so the sound recorded will be poor, this problem also happens with other companies like OnePlus.
But if we want to talk in a general way, all the cellphones, including those made from Apple, ASUS, HTC or Samsung are going to lose quality in the record of concerts, very few phones like some LG are good recording specifically the audio from concerts.
I fixed a bit this problem just putting a finger up the microphone. At least it didnt clip af
Try another camera app like Cinema-FV5. I heard it improves.
Had this problem with every xiaomi I owned, only Mi 8 Lite didn't have it, so strange :\
hi, i had this problem on Redmi 3, on MI 9 SE its better, but still present. I installed CameraMX and set microphone to external and i think it helps a lot !
Hi Everyone,
It seems like not much effort has been put into the default ROM of Moto g40. I've tested the Hi-Res output support using the various apps that supports it but non of the apps supported Hi-Res output from Moto G40. Our device has Native DSD support, PCM up to 384 kHz/32-bit, but Motorola didn't provide the support for the same. Here is the audio output detection log by poweramp:

Here if you can see that poweramp is detecting our device's chip as 'sm6150' which is a code name of Snapdragon 675 instead of SM7150 which is the codename of Snapdragon 732G. This is just stupid, seems like ROM developers took some Snapdragon 675 based ROM changed few configurations based on Snapdragon 732G, and when they find every basic feature is working, they made it stable.
Truth be told Mi developers provide much better support for their devices. Stock Android experience means nothing if Motorola can't provide support of all the features that their device supports. If you are reading this and you want great developer/hardware support for your device then buy Redmi note 10 pro instead. The only reason I purchased this device is that it provides support for more 4G/LTE network bands than Redmi note 10 pro as I'm moving abroad, G40 will have better connectivity than note 10 pro.
Also, please if you notice other issues with the factory ROM then highlight that here so that Motorola developers can fix those issues with the next update. For this issue in particular I've created a topic here please provide your inputs as well so that this topic gets more attention.

Yes I tried playing a hi-res FLAC file, but unfortunately, power amp couldn't play it in my G40
but my cousin"s MI 10T played it
I don't get it , what's this high res audio fuss about.
First of all, from where are you getting your flacs!? Probably someone re-encoded them from a lossy format which renders those flacs useless and just wastage of storage. It's not true lossless unless you're getting it straight from the producer's DAW. And most of the songs these days are encoded for music streaming sites .
So all the Flacs you're getting are ripped from there and re-encoded.
Secondly streaming services use Acc so it's won't matter either.
Yes other brands do support it ,and yes it does offer some differences to trained ears . But it is not a huge difference like playing a 720p video on a 4k screen .

This topic is about a feature not being implemented properly and not about you educating people on how to listen to their music. BTW do you really think I maintained my music collection blindly?

Yes, it doesn't make a huge difference to the untrained ears and without proper gear but there are still people who would like to have the option to play high res audio. Whether the functionality is being locked intentionally or not, there is no harm in bringing up the issue to light. Besides, all the streaming platforms are now coming up with lossless playback option so if we're paying for it, why not make use of it? Whether the change in quality makes a difference is secondary and it does not help this discussion in any way.
Hi guys, this is the fourth time I have asked in a forum about my problem with the Poco F3. And it is that I DO NOT KNOW WHY I am the only one who when playing PUBG, COD or whatever, the game looks pixelated, the textures do not look softened, looks a little bit glitched, as if it was forcing the resolution.
I have the Game Turbo configured so that it is seen in high quality, the antialiasing and all that is at maximum. The truth is very annoying, I already do a factory reset the mobile, I updated to 12.5.2 (Global) hoping that it would be solved but nothing
In normal use I do not have any problem with the screen, only when opening any game ... This is very annoying, because it is as if it will play with the antialiasing deactivated

I have tried a lot of settings in the Game Turbo and none of them work, I tried changing the DPI and nothing. When I'm in a game and I slide to open the notification menu for a moment it seems to fix but after a while it looks blurry again. I have thought about installing the EU ROM to see if it might work but if it were to be a hardware problem (the GPU came with a defect for example) I would lose the warranty: /
