How can I disable microphone noise reduction? - Moto G5S Questions & Answers

Hello all.
With other, older cellphone models, I used to have the leisure habit of recording audio (messages or files) to save/send live songs recordings. Granted, the quality was never impeccable, but at least I could hear the bass notes (or their distortion whenever the sound source was near enough).
Now, whatever method of noise reduction (NR) the Moto G5S employs is ruining this experience. Hearing the bass is crucial for samba and capoeira. The NR kicks in after 2 or 3 seconds from the beginning of the recording. Does anyone know of a way to disable it?

[Q] Camera recording sound

Hi,
Quick question about the way this device records sound. Its by far the best phone ive ever used to record sound, however i keep running into a problem with volume levels. It never stays constant and fluctuates depending on whether the sound is loud or quiet.
Now that wont make sense at first so heres a link to a video i shot in the studio with some friends.

Note at around 2:20 in the volume changes quite dramatically. I assure you, in real life the volume of the sound was constant throughout the song, the only change was that both guitars had stopped playing, thus decreasing the decibel level slightly (the guitar sounds at that point were from the effects pedals), which surely wouldve made it quieter if anything
I dont believe this a manufacturing defect as ive had it on the past 4 HOX's i owned, but perhaps more to do the way the sound is processed. It is the same result recording in mono/stereo/720/1080 etc.
EDIT Just remembered, i had to turn my speakers up all the way to hear that properly so the recording level is far too quiet as it is. I can barely hear it through the phones speaker.
Yeah got same problem,
I did turn the stereo off in video options which did improve it. Give it a go and turn the Stereo feature off.
The sound was not dropping as much,
I tested this out at a footy match.

Thats a temporary fix i suppose, it did improve it though it didnt fix it for me.
Does anybody know if this is something that is likely to be resolved by a software update? Or can anybody recommend any apps to record this type of thing with if it is a software issue.

Loudspeaker silences loudspeaker sounds early?

II use my phone(s) to listen to audiobooks using the built in speaker. Unfortunately, it is basically unusable on my new Moto Z2 Force:
Whenever theres a pause (as in silence), the sounds get artificially muted somehow, going as far as cutting off the beginning or end of words, making portions inaudible.
It is not caused by the playback software/app and seems to be always an issue when using the built in loudspeaker... no issue via bluetooth.!
i guess it's some bad implementation of noise supression... can this be disabled/fixed somehow?

Anyway to remove noise suppression in video recordings?

There's noticable noise suppression in video recordings which really affect the audio quality. As much as I like it on phone calls, I don't always record voices when shooting video. The noise suppression really destroys the sound of the environment. Anyone know a way to disable it?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Only way which I think is shooting in manual mode and disable wind filter, and optionally use HiFi audio recording which will enable recording sound track in lpcm.
But I very much doubt that tiny mics of G7 are capable to correctly picking ambient audio of 10-20 dB volume levels. They're too tiny, you should rely on external USB microphone with much higher sensitivity

Microphone clipping in audio and video recordings

When i record any audio or video, the audio is clipping, like if there is a lowpass filter on it. This especially happens in loud environments, or when there is an high presence of low frequencies. For example on Instagram stories the audio is really bad even if it's not loud and it's really annoying
I've heard about modifing mixer_paths but i don't know where to modify. This issue started happening since i updated to miui 11, now i'm on xiaomi.eu 20.2.27.
I would be glad if anyone could try to fix this problem.

¿Does anybody knows how to disable the audio noise reduction filter?

It's nice to filter all but human voice sometimes, but, there are times when I want to record music, ambient sound, etc. and the filter just crushes to silence all sound below some dB level. That means all fine details in recordings that are not that loud are just lost in the final recording due to the aggressive filtering.
It appears to be enabled system-wide: Video recording, Voice Recording (Even with the built-in LG audio recorder app), Whatsapp voice notes, etc.
The only way I have achieved to bypass it was with the "RecForge II Pro" app, with the next settings:
Audio Record: 44kHz. Stereo(Native) 128kbps
Source: Front Microphone.
Disable AGC: Not marked. (If marked: the recording is in REAL stereo, but filtered as mentioned above, so is just like the recordings from the LG app).
Even with this, the recording is just "Duplicating" the bottom mic signal to both channels (R, L). I cannot manage to get real stereo without that filtering.
It bothers me sometimes when recording videos os stereo audio recordings, because it has a pretty good camera and good quality built-in mics, but it gets compromised with that audio filtering issue. Let me know if you know about some solution for this problem.
Thanks for your time.
Use HD voice recorder app by LG. Or use manual video from camera settings, enable Hi-fi audio and click on Hi-fi when you shoot video.
