Hey all.
Been traveling for a few weeks so taking a lot of videos.
For the past week or so the audio has been terrible for recorded videos.
Some 3rd party apps like what's app and Snapchat have no audio when I record, but the main camera app does and it does really muffly and quiet.
What's odd is that if I record a voice note it sounds fine, so the microphone does work.
Any idea what could be the problem?
Thanks for any help
You could possibly have one of your fingers on the microphone whilst you are recording. I have done that before and it makes the audio muffled or near impossible to hear.

Annoying loud audio hiss during calls and playback of camera video but not whilst watching Youtube or video from external sources or listening to mp3s.
I’ve had a GSM Galaxy Nexus for a week now.
Absolutely love this phone but there’s one problem that’s driving me mad.
There is a quite loud constant background hiss during phone calls.
It’s worst during calls over the phone’s built-in earpiece but is also audible if you plug in headphones.
What’s more the same hiss is on videos I shot with the phone’s camera but audio is clear as a bell watching Youtube videos, listening to mp3s or watching video files not recorded on the device.
Please note this is not GSM “chirping” noise interference you sometimes get but a constant hiss that starts as soon as speaker actives.
I thought it might be to do with microphone but the hiss is still there if you mute the mic during calls.
This is more likely to be a software fault isn’t it? As I hear clear audio when listening to mp3s and non-native video files.
BTW- It’s not my phone network as I’ve tried my sim card in another phone and it’s fine.
I also tried a sim card from a different phone company in the nexus and the hiss was still there.
The phone shows full signal strength and is logged onto HSDPA.
Does this sound like a software problem that will probably get updated or does it sound like I have a dud device?
I’d rather not take the phone back on the off chance as everything else on it, the screen etc, is perfect.
Anyone else having this problem?

Did it resolve the issue for either of you?
Hey everyone. Is there a better microphone? I'm tired of recording video on this phone and having the audio playback completely distorted. I am trying to use my Hercules as a secondary video cam when I am shooting live music. It seems no matter loud or quiet the band is or where I am relative to monitors or pa speakers, the audio when played back is completely worthless and not usable no matter how I manipulate the audio track with filters, compression, removing background noise, etc... . If anyone has an idea other than buying a second GoPro videocam, I would gladly listen.
hi guys,
I was wondering if you guys who allready got the G3, could test the audio recirding quality,
what I mean is, G2 has a problem with noise cancelation microphone, and very often (allways) video recording sounds distorted, like underwater, cutouts, blanks, etc etc. '
is that problem still persistent with the G3, as the camera module is the same, so nto sure if they used the same microphones as well..?
please get back to me with this, I know that the majority of users wont notice this while playing recording on a cell phone, but when you play ot on a tv or laptop, the issues is very very big
seriously, no one has G3?
The audio recording in my opinion is great.

There is another thread on here somewhere with regards to this, sorry I don't have the link.
I haven't tested it yet myself, waiting for an opportunity to be in a loud club or something to give it a whirl.
Also search YouTube there may be some videos on there by now.

I notic some pop sound when recording video but same time
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.

Okay, thanks for answer.
Is it happening to everyone or just some unlucky people?

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
Does anyone else have really bad audio when taking videos?
For example if I take a video (using Instagrams camera) to post it on my story the audio is really staticky and just overall bad.
Not really sure if it's a hardware issue or maybe a software issue. Even cheaper phones would do better than this tbh
Just tested mine - seems ok. Try a different app though. Also what about if you just record audio with voice recorder app
