This its kind off weird and I am beginning to think it is a hardware issue, but when playing certain videos I get this obvious and distracting crackling in the background like from electrical interference our a busted speaker.
Only thing is that this happens on some flash videos so far. I have never noticed this when listening to music or calls over speaker and it works fine with other flash videos.
Check it out if you can. The video I was watching was the my touch slide review on engadget. I would link it but I can't.

+1 i get this too.
I have encountered this, but only with Viddler videos on Engadget.com
It happens on some flash videos, like engadget as you mentioned, it's probably just an audio codec that's not 100% supported on the Nexus One.

I don't know why but any video I make with my i9000 has an ac2 mono sound. No matter what resolution I pick for the video. Isn't there a workaround for this? To make it at least stereo if not better?

The phone does not have 2 microphones in the first place. Hence recorded audio is mono.
Video resolution should not be affecting its audio.
Ok but before sgs I owned an iphone and guess what it recorded video with stereo and only one mic. It is software related. Must be...

But do you hear difference in the left and right channel?
If it doesn't, SGS encodes it in a more bandwdth efficient manner.

Then it wasn't stereo. It may have been twin mono. But, as said, why waste space recording twin mono.
As far as I know stereo sounds better as mono, that's why I prefer the more non efficient way of encoding. And let's not talk about having a very good quality video stream beside a poor audio one.

As far as I know stereo means absolutely nothing if the device doesn't have the hardware to capture in stereo. Mono does not necessarily indicate inferior quality. Your iPhone has recorded in mono but just replicated the channels to appear as stereo. Samsung Galaxy S rather honestly reported mono and let the playback device (eg. computer) replicate the channels whenever necessary. The audio quality boils down to the bit rate and sampling rate used; and these should be considered in development of improving SGS's audio recording quality.
the SGS has no option to select the recording level, and bandwidth/bit rate to begin with
so you get what you get.
we are waiting for an App or a Hack to allow uses to change the recording bit rate so it can get better sound
True, so the development has to focus on hacking the bit rate and sampling rate, rather than producing fake stereo.
True but you gotta admit, the video is in hd for christ sake and the sound is not even close to the quality of video...c'mon. A bigger bitrate would be helpfull, at least AC3.

that is what every one is complaining about, including myself
we need an App to control which recording sound frecuency we want to use instead of whatever it's the default, which sounds like something on the 11Hz or 22 Hz at best guestimate
Basically after weeks of messing around with Orange, finally get the phone! Absolutely love it, build is great, no light leeks, no overhang, no dead pixels, nor stuck pixels.... except.....
this hissing sound. I get it with on speakerphone, very bad, a constant hissing and sssshhhing when the other person speaks and also when on speakerphone the whole call becomes broken, on both sides so them speaking is broken, and my voice on their side is broken too. The hissing is so bad the other person can hear the hissing off the speakerphone on my side!
Hissing when i play music, if i put a quiet song on i can hear, not very loud hissing but it is there.
Hissing when i play a game sounds or background music, this seems to be worse, maybe i just notice it more because background music in game is very quiet and smooth so the hissing becomes more apparent.
VERY BAD hissing when i replay videos i have taken. The hissing is very loud when i take a video of a silent room, and replay the video on full volume. The quality of the video is great but the sound is just pure hissing (obvs any voice or sounds made during the video are recorded but its hissing throughout alongside)
What do i do? Do i just go into a carphone warehouse and get it changed? or is it a software problem or will be on every handset until HTC make an update?
As for the rom etc, its stock software no modding as of yet (my first android so i havent done anything clever, i was a devote blackberry man until now )
I dont have this, sounds like there may be a fault there matey . . . id get it changed before you cant.

have you taken a video of a silent room and replayed it on full volume, if you havent yet pal can you test it for me!
looks like i will go and replace it in the next few days, only got it instore other day so got like 26 days to keep swapping until i get a good unit
(i made orange rectify their bs by letting me upgrade instore and them to reverse is and give me my retentions deal on the phone after by editing the upgrade deal hehe)
Hey guys, issue is known on the forum, check out the Q&A section where many users report the issue and comment on ways to make it better

thanks just wondered if anyone had this problem in the late shipments/batches because i have a fa33vw
If it is a very quiet hiss with a click after all sound stops, it is unavoidable. All phones have it, just don't listen closely enough or else it will bug you forever.

I've noticed the odd random click from my HTC One when I switch the camera on.
Not often though and not every time but when it does it, it's from the left (top) speaker.
No hissing in call. No hissing when the noise cancelling kicks in during calls.
No hissing in recorded video or when the radio goes quiet between people speaking.
I'm amazed at the clarity and presence of the sound from the speakers.
I get a faint hiss when I have headphones in and they're low, barely noticeable though.
well its getting changed! last night found a dead pixel right in the middle of the screen, cant believe it evaded me all this time!!

You're describing the exact same issue that I've had and that has led to me now on my 3rd phone with a 4th one coming tomorrow. Check the link .

hmm so is it batch, software or hardware related?
It's either all of the HTC ones in the entire world (I've had 4 all of wildly different batches that all had the problem) or a software issue. I'm beginning to think it's the latter.

Could it be becuase their amplified? ? ?
Beats makes it a lot worse. It's comparable to other android devices without beats on.

The htc voice recorder app distorts with live band sound levels. The video camera records beautiful clear undistorted audio of the same band. It seems htc didn't put the same brains into the voice recorder app... It'd be nice not to have to waste storage on video just to get good live music audio recordings. Anybody know how to fix this? There don't seem to be any gain settings in the app...
You could always record the video, go home and extract the audio with a PC application then delete the video.

thanks for the suggestion, i did end up using the video app to record, then found an app called "Android Audio Editor" that could actually transcode mp3 audio from the mp4 video right on the phone. It's a 3 day trial of the app, but it did a nice job. Here's a sloppy rehearsal of a live recording in a small room with live drums. Pretty impressive for a phone!

There's an update being released for audio and camera.
For sounding like garbage, that mp3 you posted sounds pretty damn good. If that makes since.
I tried to record Joe Walsh on my 3d evo at the Rose Garden ( Portland Oregon). It sounds really bad...Distortin' Mortin.

thanks! i'm very happy with the camera video and audio quality now, i'm blown away by how good it sounds and looks! it's great that HTC wen't above and beyond to create such an amazing multimedia experience with this device...
didn't mean to confuse my question... the mp3 i posted was the audio extracted from a video camera recording, not the bad one from the voice recorder app... for comparison, here's the bad distorted audio from the voice recorder app https://www.dropbox.com/s/d8nksirjxneivkg/Voice0002.aac )
I've gotten some decent "live" recordings using the earbud mic filter. Just plug in the beats earbuds and record with the system app.

Interesting, I haven't tried that, I assumed that was a mono Mic. (Maybe better for covert bootlegs?)
I'm really excited about the great stereo dual membrane mics on the One, they sound impressive for music taken from video, we just need to find an audio only app that can take advantage of the great mics correctly.
Irig seems to be decent. If you register you can optimize the audio some.

I chose this phone over the S4 based on the advertised higher quality audio capabilities. The speakers do sound great, but does anyone have any pointers on how to maximize the audio recording quality? I see a lot of articles regarding video, but not much for people trying to only record audio. Do some apps work better than others? Phone/mic placement? Do I have to record a video to get the best audio?
The thing is, I was playing (live music) with some friends several months ago, and one of them put their iphone4 on the opposite end of the room and ran the voice memo app. i was amazed at how clear it was compared to my S2. So far im not having the same experience with the HTC One.
Thanks in advance.
I haven't tried much yet but sounds like the video recorder is best for audio recording.

What do you mean when you say that Oneplus manipulates music? Is it the audio from the headphone jack and doesnt switching off the audio tuner fixes that?
So what is your result? Can you make it video with voice and post it somewhere?

But I have bought many devices past years. And what I learnt is that no mobile device is perfect according... You have to compromise somewhere...
Sometimes it's the
audio chipset( bad music quality)

Or etc
You have to decide what you can compromise
So when you call someone, there is no complaint with your voice, or when you record video, a voice is clear, no muffled?
