A few days ago I saw a message (somewhere?) where the poster mentioned that the Open Camera app had an audio source option in the video recording settings that seemed to improve audio quality. You may possibly have to set the Camera2 API on in the settings as well (not sure of this) in order to see all the options. There is an "Unprocessed" option in the audio source options. I've not tested this myself but it sounds like it (no pun intended) has promise for audio in video recordings.
Thanks. Sounds alot cleaner. But audio seems to be more quiet.

As stated in the title I need short video file download from those running on jpk. 1280 by 720. Daytime nighttime does not matter. Just playing around with codecs.
here you go
thanks a lot.
good to know that froyo brings mp4 with aac instead of eclair crappy 3gpp with amr. should be better for the concerts and loud environments now.
lol...When i first saw the video i laughed, i didnt read wat the op said, just the title...rofl
@idan - there is no significat difference with aac audio, the sound is still crappy when you record a concert.

Damn audio, totally ruins the recording/video experience with this phone...
It still is a great improvement, now I can just make a video, start AllShare and immidiately see the result on the big screen using my PS3. I always thought it was a shame to use this stupid 3GP container so I have to remux all the videos on my PC.
As for the sound: does the phone record from headset if connected? If yes, I guess this could be exploited to use a better microphone. The inbuilt one is meant for the phone function, obviously, and they just didn't add another for noise cancellation and video recording.

Fantastic. Now all we need is touch-to-focus in video mode.
another nice thing would be to be able to change the recording sound volume or some thingy that corrects its selve when you record loud things.

It is possible to record from headset but sound is still crappy. It's software problem.
The problem is with the mic itself, it is very sensitive, it would be great if there was an app that could monitor the input level of the mic and adjust de volume when its lower or higher than a certain threshold level, if not automatic at least manually.
Some kind of mic equalizer?
my bad it was always aac audio and not amr. by mistake i compared with old nexus video lol. only wrapper changed to mp4.

This is just a stupid iPhone function. Video recording auto-focus is much usefull and better when you shoot a video.
Hi there, fellows HOX users,
There were several topics about HOX's poor audio quality when capturing video or recording through voice apps, but still, there weren't any solutions how to solve the lack of frequencies down below ~100-200hz.
I have experience working with sound production, recordings, so I know that these limitations are only made by software. In that case, there must be some kind of solution to improve audio recording quality and enjoy HOX at 100%.
I tried editing srs_global.cfg (found in /system/etc/soundimage) (there was a guy who tried to improve the sound of the phone's loudspeaker and he kinda managed to do it by editing the file), by changing high-pass filter frequency in every "device"
//BLOCK: (srs_hpf_0) HiPass - Device 0
//=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
srs_hpf_0:hipass_order = 4 // Filter Order -
srs_hpf_0:hipass_frequency = 60 // Filter Frequency -
srs_hpf_0:hipass_is32bit = 1 // Filter Precision (16bit when 0) -
srs_hpf_0:hipass_skip = 1 // Skips High Pass Filter when true - toggle

but there aren't any results.
I don't really understand the types of devices and that they do (WOWHD, TruEQ, CSHP and so on).
Maybe there is any other cfg files who process audio input, because it's the same high-pass filter when recording on internal mic and with external 3.5mm mic.
Let's try to solve this problem everybody, because, as HTC support said
HTC is not designed for capturing things in loud environments

Don't mess with HPF, REALLY DON'T!
I have been experimenting with SRS trumedia 51 and music, HPF messes up when enabled!
these settings you have posted are from SRS_global which won't really do much, install musicBox and you can get SRS working...
There is a reason why you sould not enable HPF without know what values are right, I tried this and it made a mini explosion noise (a sqeek then a loud POP) when starting audio, I highly recommed you do not mess with it. Anyways, SRS will NOT do anything with audio recording, your best place to find audio recording values are in the media_profiles.xml in /system/etc
SRS has nothing at all to do with recording audio, only to output the SRS effect.
I hope this info helps
WOWHD is SRS WOWHD, this is a sound effect which enables a true surround sound experience.
TruEQ is SRS's native EQ settings, not much to say here...
CSHP is SRS CS Headphone. Or as I would like to call it, Dolby Digital 5.1 (Because it IS the exact same effect) (CSHP is only used in srs_truemedia_51) (HTC Enhancer uses this file)
Thank's for your answer.
I can't understand, how nobody is interested in improving audio recording quality, when it's obvious that it's a software limitation thing.
We have an almost perfect phone with good camera, but we can't fully enjoy watching and LISTENING recorded videos, because some "clever" people in HTC decided that it's normal to high-pass the mic and put a compressor on it, without any gain control - in result we have a tragic audio from loud concerts and even LOUD voice conversations (where people are sceaming a little bit).
Maybe someone has a solution?
Maybe HTC will offer switching to a ****ty iphone, which has almost perfect audio recording quality (for a phone)?!

Hi. What is the best way to record audio at concert?
Default Audio recording android app is bad, but audio using video recording is much better.
Is there some audio recorder app in store that give better quality for audio recording?
Thanks
I use smart voice recorder it does real good with music in my opinion
I found the default app (LG?) much too loud (very high gain).
Tried a few, I now use titanium recorder. Not for concerts though, just general recordings (bonus: it's free)
hi q mp3.?

Thanks..i need best quality. Smart voice vs easy voice? Or something else? Is there some technical comparison that shows differences between sound recorder in case of loud music? Thanks

You can try Secret Voice Recorder. Apart from providing you the best quality voice recording, the app lets you start and stop voice recording simply by pressing the power button 3 times within 1.5 seconds. The power button gesture will work even if your mobile is locked.
I am the developer of the application. If you got any suggestion or feedback, let me know. I will look into it and fix it.
I suggest you to try Apowersoft audio recorder software where you can record your voices, record from music streaming sites and more. You can also save audio in high quality and get deal on the product from dpcoupon.com
Hey guys,
anyone else experienced bad video sound quality? I found out, that the phone saves videos with 96kbps sound, wich is an explanation why the sound is that bad. But can we do anything against it?

I too am experiencing this issue. Not sure if a fix currently exists. On another note, when I purchased this phone i was hoping for more development support! It may still be early, but not too impressed so far!!
I also just got bitten by this crappy audio when recording videos. It absolutely sucks! Will using a different camera app fix it?

I dont think so as I am already using cam mod.
There must be some audio postprocessing going on. When I record audio with an app (Easy voice recoreder) and choose microphone "Main (unprocessed)" the sound is good. If I choose just microphone "Main" the recording is very bad (the same distorted sound I get in video recordings). So the phone can record good audio. The question is how to record unprocessed sound in video.
The bitrate is 96kbps with no way to change.
I have logged a bug here:
http://en.miui.com/thread-1358732-1-1.html
Please confirm the bug and it will get the attention of the team at Xiaomi
i have found a possible solution on the post below, see if it helps (by Callemusicman)

"So I've found a solution, or at least a temporary one
Get the camera app called Lgcamera. In this app you can manually set your audio settings.
Set it to AAC and set the stereo option to On (this did it for me atleast).

I made a little video about it since I couldn't find this solution before, hope it helps!

soo.... to answer to myself it does not work, the audio quality is still 96kbps, I had an idea to record audio separately.
if you start recording only audio with an app like "easy audio recorder" and then you go to the video app and record. the recording audio app won't stop recording its quality is gonna change to 96kbps (bad)
EDIT: yeah, it sucks, only xiaomi can fix it.
I have found a trick to record good audio see my post below.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix-2/how-to/mi-mix-2-video-sound-recording-quality-t3776450
I cant properly Record videos when loud music is involved. The sound is way too loud and muffled.
Is there any solution to this.
On stock camera and Gcam noice cancellation is being used making it sound even worse.
I found out that in Open camera choosing "unprocessed" in sound options fixes the things a little but still
Unfortunately not really. It seems that they simply screwed up the settings for ACG (automatic gain control) and audio drivers regarding video audio recordings. Most of the Xiaomi devices suffer from that. They do not care about that. It´s such a simple and basic function for a smartphone and I´m sure that hardware used could easily handle high gain audio inputs like on concerts or festivals, but the settings and config they choose to give us simply cripples the device.
It´s a shame really. There is a camera app called Footej Camera that allows you to adjust the input gain settings for video - that could be worth a try.
Also, if you´re rooted and are experienced with modifying system files you could try to modify mixer_path files to get better results. See for example thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/help/audio-recording-lacking-bass-t3814184
