Probably many of you have faced the bug with audio not being recorded in apps like camera, WhatsApp, Telegram... You can try disabling Voice Match. If this works, audio recording will be permanently fixed but you won't be able to use the voice assistant.
If you still want to use Voice Match while being able to record audio in any app, I found this workaround:
1. Wipe Google app data.
2. Go to Settings/Apps & Notifications/Default apps and set Google as Assist app.
3. Press back and enter the 'Assist app' settings ⚙, enable 'Voice Match', enable 'Hey Google' and follow the steps to set the voice command.
4. Go back to Default apps/Assist app,
select 'None' and then select 'Google' again.
5. Go back to 'Voice Match', disable 'Hey Google' and re-enable it again.
It sounds weird but it works. The only 'little' downside is that this is a temporary workaround because every reboot will mute your audio records and you will have to repeat steps 4 and 5.
Hope this helped.
Thanks for the useful info!

This isn't a complaint, just a bug report.
System: Sprint TP2 (Rhod400)
Build: [MJG]Rhod.2.2Froyo.082610 w/8-27 sound patch (modules-2.6.27.46-01149-g74aec59.tar and update zImage)
Install Type: Clean Install
Problem: Voice Search does not initialize the mic.
To recreate:
1) Boot into Android.
2) Start Voice Search.
Voice search will fail as no sound will be recorded. However, voice search itself *does work* if you start it with the mic active.
To see voice search working:
1) Boot into Andorid.
2) Make a phone call.
3) End the call.
4) Immediately start voice search.
5) Voice search will record the sound (you will see the mic icon flash white) and run the search as expected.
Note: Voice search closes the mic when finished, so if you attempt to immediately use it a second time, it will fail.
I hadn't seen this noted anywhere and as such wanted to mention it since the sound system is now in a much better state.
I think the same thing happened to me, unless I dont know how to use the program but i'm sure i do.
Its called talking tom cat. it records your voice then replays it in high pitch kitty talk. I pressed record, spoke into the mouth piece both normally and very loud. It didn't playback anything.

This works for me fine, as long as the first thing I do when I turn my phone on, and make a phone call. After that it just work.
My Phone seems to have itself stuck with the Ringtone on silent. Every setting says its up. Audio Manager has all the volumes up. Message tones work and so do system / media and alerts. But the ringtone will not make a noise..
When I press the volume up button on the home screen.. it comes up with Silent Ringtone Selected..... Is there any way to get rid of this?
Thanks in advance
Solved....
Just Wipe data + cache
reload ROM and restore all apps back from default and bingo...
I know this may seem over kill but it works and I really need my ringtone on the phone (wife due to go into labour any day soon)
Thanks

Lol. If people would read, this forum would be so much more usefull.
Sent from my Evil Lair using Doomsday Device
Silent Ringtone
I'm actually having this same problem, and it's 2 years later. I believe that I have found the solution though.
I'll start out by saying I got my Droid Pro about a week ago.
I downloaded the "Voice Recorder" app by Mamoru Tokashiki.
I would record audio for ringtones (generally song snippets because I'm too lazy, or stupid, or I like to make more work for myself than downloading the actual ringtones). I would retitled the files (.3gp) and hit "Set as Ringtone." Then if I toggled my volume rocker it would say Silent Ringtone Selected.
I came to these forums and immediately knew that I didn't want to root my phone or do anything like that. So a lot of people suggested it was the software. I ditched the software and downloaded "Tape-a-talk" by Markus Drosser. It records in both .3gp and .wav. I use the .wavs because they sound so much better.
It worked for me once, but then I started getting the same message. It couldn't have been a problem with the software because I ran two different apps. It's something with the way that the android system saves the files.
I tinkered around with a process that is working for me now (it involves a lot of turning on and off which is annoying, so get prepared).
1. Open recording app (I use tape-a-talk) and record your audio. It shouldn't matter the duration (I thought I was getting the silent ringtone error because my files were too long, but that's not the case).
2. Immediately set the recording (labeled with some generic date like 03-19-2012.wav) as your ringtone. Toggle the volume rocker to check if you get the silent ringtone selected. (If you do, then try re-recording as .3gp. If that still doesn't work then this process probably won't work because something else major is wrong with your phone).
3. Turn off the phone.
4. Power back up (30s downtime).
5. Open up Settings>Sounds>Phone Ringtone. If 03-19-2012 is set as your ringtone then you should be pretty okay. Go back to the home page and toggle the volume rocker again to double check.
6. Turn off the phone then power it back up.
7. Go back into your recording app and find the generic file, rename it to what you want.
8. Set the newly titled .wav or .3gp as your ringtone.
9. Toggle the rocker to make sure it saved properly.
10. If it did, then turn your phone off. Turn the phone back on and open Settings>Sounds>Phone Ringtone.
If everything worked it should have your ringtone set and saved with the new file name.
Then you're free to enjoy.
That process works for me.
Some people may still claim it is the software, but in my experience it is a matter of how your phone ends up saving the recorded files.
This information is useless if you're talking about downloading a ringtone, btw.
Hope this helps anyone in the future.

i had the same problem so i searched in every option from settings
so here are the steps...
settings -> sound -> ringtone -> phone ringtone
when you open the "phone ringtone" you will see that your phone is set on "silent". well all you have to do is to choose another ringtone from that list, or, if you want a song from your music player you just set a random ringtone from the list and then go in "music" and set as ringtone your favourite song.
hope it helped ^_^
I activated the "OK Google on any screen" option on my LG Optimus G Pro with KitKat 4.4.2. Works without a problem. But it prevents the video recorder from working. Video recorder will open but when the record button is pushed I get this error message: "Cannot start recording while other application is using audio." When I uncheck the OK Google any screen option the video recorder once again works. Anyone else experiencing this behavior? I find it hard to believe Google would provide this OK Google option while allowing it to screw up the use of other applications. But then again...

Noticed this after I saw your post.
Issue is with video recording in the stock camera only though, Google camera works
Greetings everybody,
I'm using Windows 10 mobile build 15245 (latest until this day)
And I'm wondering about is there any way today that I can record calls ??
Thanks,
1)Go to Settings -> System.
2)*Go to System -> Phone.
3)*Under Default apps section, you will have a select box to choose the app you want to use to manage recorded phone calls.
4) Select Voice Recorder in that select box.
5) Once done, during voice call, you will have a record button as shown in the image below. Tap that record button to start recording.
6) After the call is over, go to Recorded Calls menu under Phone app to see the list of recorded calls.
7) Tap any of the recorded calls for playback. You can even trim it and share it with others.
Note: This call recording feature is available only for devices that come with Windows 10 Mobile pre-installed. But, Microsoft may enable it for Windows Phone devices in the future.
jjoeshua, unfortunately it doesn't exist.
I have Lumia 640xl
Recorded Calls = only Lumia 550, 650, 950, 950XL.

I dont know a better way.
That's an example of why Windows Phone sucks and it's a complete garbage.
Just 1 example.
Whenever I'm in a phone call I keep on getting a popup saying "phone services is currently recording audio. Google will not be able to record right now"
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Go onto the dialler
Settings

Quick call to off
Hope that helps.
