Audio problem - Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers

Does anybody have any issues with the audio recording of camera? It's like trying to muffle background noises but end up recording everything in like a metallic sound... sound is really horrible. It's not the speakers because audio from videos and music is fine. It's just when the phone is recording audio. Audio while calling is also okay.
I'm on latest update of havoc (Q). The issue wasn't there when I was on android 7 (custom roms) problem came up after I updated to higher/later roms and it's not rom specific since I have been jumping from 1 rom to another.
Maybe it's a hardware problem already?
Thanks.

Additional info: it is not a hardware problem, i have tested to record a video with open camera app and when I change the audio source setting to "unprocessed" i get better audio quality but the volume is quite low... So maybe there is a bug with switching to different receivers, but instead it keeps using the noise cancelling microphone. Or its processing the audio to cancel the brackground noise and improving voice instead...
Pls help if anybody has a fix for android 10...

Quiet microphone in Snapchat

Hi there
When recording videos with Snapchat, the sound is way too quiet. When using other apps like voice recorder or the camera app, it works fine. I also recently replaced the battery cover
I suspect the issue is something regarding which microphone Snapchat uses. Maybe the the mic doesn't function properly without the noice cancellation mic, which Snapchat may not utilise etc.
Does anyone else have this issue? Does anyone know how to fix it?
heres some more info on the problem: snapchat only records audio with the top mic on this phone, which is probably supposed to be used for noise cancellation. this issue is not apparent in all non-sense roms, like cm10.2 and aosp based romps; the mouthpiece mic is used to record audio so the audio works fine. but then in custom roms the camera profile is different, so it is not possible to record 10 second videos in snapchat. it stop recording at about 6 seconds. heres more info on the 2nd issue: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-2343.
Thanks

Heey .. I've the same problem with my HTC ONE X ... this is what I dislike about Android in general, each phone has its own running kinda system, yet all android apps are the same in every device despite the differences.

Unless you own a Nexus, GPe, or soon a "Silver" certified device. Something maybe to consider when purchasing my next phone

[Q] Camcorder one channel audio (no stereo in video recordings, top mic low volume)

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.

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

[Q] low sound output on headphones

when i listen to music on my zenfone ,maximum volume is very low also music lags when using other applications,tried reflashing the firmware and other headphones but that didnt work any one got any idea?
two ways to get higher music volume on ZF2:
1) Turn off the equalizer in Music, that seems to help.
2) Get some different earphones, the Asus bundled items are significantly quieter than any others that I have tried. **Sorry, I see that you have tried others, but keep trying, I use Skullcandy and Jays, and both are much better**
With regards to the sound lag (its not just Musisc, it happens with calls and other apps too) when multi-tasking, Asus has been made aware of this (see the "Audio Issues" thread on Zentalk forum), and may, or may not be working on a fix....
Some people say that turning off System Sounds in settings reduces the sound lag, but I can't say that it has helped me. This is the single bug that most annoys me with this phone.
tried updating music fx plugin that came preinstalled to a newer version it improved the sound output a little bit,thanx by the way.
I think latest update (V2.17.40.12_20150515) has fixed this issue... Please update and check as many users are reporting that the bug has been fixed...

I'm on 2.19.40.20 and still have this annoying issue both on normal audio and speaker, which is always too quiet for any hands-free or outdoor use
Is there any workaround ? (rooted phone)
Do you think that Viper4android or whatever could help to raise the sound levels ?
Disabled MaxxAudio

(I own an Asus Zenfone 2E so I don't know if this will work with the Zenfone 2) I disabled (AudioWizard/com.asus.maxxaudio) and rebooted. Tada! Headphone output is a crap ton louder! Hope this helps! I also deleted the MusicFX plugin. Don't know which one of those worked but one of them certainly did!
This is what I disabled using NoBloat(Remove spaces) http: //i.imgur. com/NO7dvls.jpg?1
Having your headphones suddenly become more quiet than usual, whether it’s on both earbuds or just one, happens quite more often than you’d think. Before we discuss how to fix the problem of your headphones being so quiet, it’s important that we understand why it happens in the first place.
Here are the most common reasons why headphones become quiet:
Issue With the Plug or Socket (For Wired Headphones)
Issue With Connectivity (For Wireless Headsets)
Device Settings
Issue With the Audio File
Issue With the Headset Itself
Issue With the Ear

Enable Stereo Audio Recording

Hey guys,
This is a minor but annoying problem, and I know I'm not the only one.
Is there a way to enable stereo recording for purely voice recording? I've tried many apps(the included Voice Recorder app, easy voice recorder, even Recordr) and everything came up mono even after enabling the stereo option.
I assume its a system level lock, because stereo audio is enabled when the phone records video.
I need this too, I hope it can be enabled.
The HTC one has good recording quality, and is one of the very few that doesn't distort when there are high sound pressure levels.
(so concerts, etc). So potentially the best choice for musicians and people who like to record live music.
Because of the focus of HTC on getting audio recording right, it is unexplainable that stereo recording is only available in video !
If HTC fixes this, they really have an extra USP.
User [D4v3|R4v3] posted that maybe he can help to get it enabled, see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/htc-10-audio-thread-t3358064/post69112492#post69112492
Mine is not rooted (yet) so I cannot help with this one.
But hopefully HTC will also fix it, so it will also be available to users that don't have their device rooted. should be very easy i guess.
I really don't understand the reason to block stereo recording to other apps.
At least HTC should make stereo recording available in their own voice recorder app.

No Audio when recording video...

Just recently I have experienced a strange issue that whenever I record the video, afterward, I get no audio when I play it back.
The mic works flawlessly when I make or receive a call no there's no issue with the mic.
Here's what I've tried so far:
1. Flashing Stock ROM and the LineageOS 14.1 .
2. Changing many camera apps on playstore to record the video.
I have never used a Bluetooth headset with my phone so that also eliminates the possibility.
Can anyone figure this issue out as I am kinda confused whats wrong with this device...
Thanks!
