I've noticed that that during a recording, after you pause a video and resume recording you will get little glitch on the final product.
During that transition period (from pause to resume recording), a split second of audio is muted.
It's NOT a big deal, however to me it is. I like to use my phone to do (stupid, fun, and elaborate) recordings with my friends and having that mute second is a little annoying. Is there a value or setting in the phone allowing a muted delay? (If there is, the engineer who enabled it is a straight up dumbass).
Guys, I'm serious. Record a video, pause it with a background noise, resume the video and then replay the final product and THERE IS A MUTED DELAY FOR A SPLIT SECOND. Fixes? Thoughts? Empathy? (lol)
PS. I contacted Samsung and the guy on the phone was amused at this glitch since he never noticed it. He owns a Galaxy S also (how cool!). He sent the issue/ complaint to the technical department.
Someone must agree with me on this...cmon Galaxy S friends!!!!!!!

Hi there
last week I got a new Samsung Galaxy S GT I-9000, and although I am generally happy with it, I am very disappointed with the ADC recording quality.
As others, I noticed it after asking a friend to film me playing at a gig, and the audio was completely unuseable.
After digging around and some experiments I found so far 2 serious issues:
1 - As others pointed out, the microphone input level seems to be unadjustable. I have digged around in the hidden menus, where I could find a way to adjust the input level for speech calls but not for audio recording.
(Audio -> Handset ->I2S1 Rx Gain, although I am not sure if the signal clips before or after that point when doing audio recording ).
2 - This is an issue I have not seen documented anywhere: no matter what application I use, I am not able to record at any higher sampling rate than 22.050kHz. This is with both handset and headset microphone. But what is probably worse, is that the signal is not (or not very well) low pass filtered (antialised) before being downsampled!! I tried recording a frequency sweep from 0 to 16kHz, and the first 8kHz (11025 Hz inn 22050 Hz sampling rate mode) were Ok, the next 8kHz (11025Hz) where aliased like hell. Try record a 10 khz and a 12 kHz tone at 11khz adc rate and you will get a 10khz back in both cases, almost at the same amplitude ! Not sure why I can't acces 48kHz, as I read somewhere that the audio chipset should support that.
Anyone know if there is a fix for either?
Just uploaded the recorded sample for reference.
This was a 100Hz to 16kHz frequency sweep of 30 seconds.
The test setting was far from ideal (just played it out on my PC) but it gives an indication. Note that aliasing is so bad that even harmonic distortion gets aliased, and it becomes really loud when all harmonics get imaged back to the same frequency by the aliasing process. If the situation is not fixed, there is no hope for high quality audio for the galaxy... Anyone knows if with 2.2 upgrade this will work?
Do HTC desire or wildfire have similar issues? I am seriously considering swapping before my 14 days trial runs out: no point in having HD video (main selling point of the phone) if the audio is close to unuseable (and I don't want to go to Apple just yet)
The voice quality on my Galaxy S is really bad. I've had several people say to me that on calls it's difficult to understand what I'm saying and that the sound is either muffled or distorted.
I tried some recordings with the voice recorder app and these two don't sound clear at all.
Could this be caused by the same thing you're mentioning, or do I have a problem with my phone?
How do other people find the call quality (that is, someone listening to you calling *from* your Galaxy.)?

I think this is related to the same bugs mentioned as the subject of this thread.
BTW, it looks like HTC desire has the same issue wrt video recording, so it might be an Android issue rather than a Samsung one...
You can find some additional details in the modaco forum, on thread samsung-galaxy-s-i9000-mic-sensitivity-recording.

After flashing the european firmware JM1 from Kies I am able to record at 44.1 kHz now!
Haven't checked aliasing yet.
I'm on JM2 and this is a topic that I would very much be interested in.

Same problem gggrrr
I recorded a friend of mine singing last night and the audio on the video is terrible and i mean really terrible, the picture is fine but the audio, nope.
I have heard that there is a way to load in a new kernal to be able to change the sensitivity of the mic but i'm not sure if that is the way to go or not, i just want to be able to record video that sounds good, please help.
Flash a kernel with voodoo sound. Then the audio quality will be amazing

I've used voodoo sound ever since I go this phone. You don't even have to flash a kernel anymore, supercurio's made it even easier, as long as you have root just go onto the market and buy Voodoo Control Plus and unlock the true audio capabilities of your Galaxy S
I started out with JPY and using Tape Machine I've been able to record just fine at 44100Hz. Same with JVB.
Thanks for that, i installed voodoo control plus, really easy to do, at a gig tonight so i will record and see what the sound is like on the video, thanks again

Hi!
I have an really annoying audio issue, I hope there's a solution.
Background:
Being an insomniac I use my phone w. in-ear-plugs (Bose IE2) to listen to audiobooks and watching videos until I fall asleep.
I bought the Note for the big screen and the awesome hardware audio/video support, and just for trying something new, (I've been using iPhones since it's first release but felt like upgrading from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 4s wasn't worth it) so the Note is my first Android phone.
The Problem:
When playing audiobooks, videos and music at low volumes it's like the phone ”auto-mutes” when the source audio have low volume or total silence. Then there's a click or a static and a very short delay when the audio returns. It's really annoying when listening to i.e. audiobook where it's much silence, like between sentences and sometimes words.
It doesn't appear when listening to more moderate volumes, just in the bottom 20% of the volume slider.
I've tried a bunch of different players... it's all the same. Doesn’t matter if its a local file or LAN.
Gingerbread 2.3.6 XBKK4, not rooted or anything.
Anyone know of a cure for my phone, or a good sleep-therapist....
This is my first time asking a question on xda-developers so if this question has been answered in another forum, i'm sorry i didn't realize it.
This has been an issue for me since last year but i didn't mind at the time but now that this is 2013, I've had it.
Every time I record video using the Nexus One, there's this hissing noise like "BZZ,BZZ,BZZ..." in rapid succession and instead of sound coming from my surroundings, the hissing noise is there and I can't do anything about it. I did tests such as blowing my breath to the mic or tapping the phone and yet there's this noise that isn't what i recorded. Surprisingly, the mic works in almost EVERY application EXCEPT the camera app.
The Nexus One is rooted with Cyanogen7 running 7.2.0 and I think the problem is with the camera app.
I even tried going back to stock to see if that would work but it hasn't!
I was wondering if this has been confirmed with other phones or if there's a solution for this kind of problem.
In a video in 1080p on the outside, the video will look and hear perfectly. The problem comes when a video is recorded inside a house for example. If you record a video in total silence, when playing the video if you put the volume up will listen very weak one "shhh" If you record a video with a TV background with the TV volume on the sound sounded choppy. Or if ye are silent recording, you begin to talk, you will notice a change to play between silence and sound.
I leave some videos from youtube where you will notice the problem (play with the volume as high as possible to notice more the problem):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQm6Yeo0DxE - This video perfectly burn notice the change on the outside and when passing record indoors
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EB4_awhWd9A - The television cut sound.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyciEt7dsSs - Here notice the cuts perfectly with the TV sound in the background.

Same here, my nexus is a new one , 5 days old.
Fix with 4.4.2¿?
I've got the same problem.
Updated to 4.4.2 right now, but can't test as it's night atm.

This happens to me as well. Not just when recording, but most annoyingly when talking to people on the phone. They complain that my sound is cutting out like the videos shown above, even though I hear them perfectly.
I am on stock 4.4.2 and my n5 does have the issue with audio in video rec. I am on fauxClock b15.

same problems but thanks,.
I have exactly the same problem. I had it on 4.4.0 and I still have it on 4.4.2.
The hissing on silence in audio/video recordings is really annoying.
I hope this can be fixed...

Same problem here :crying: it has to be a software problem, can't be a hardware issue in all devices. I love the phone! but for me this is a deal breaker :crying:
Was trying to test this for myself but mine won't save videos at all. Bizarre, probably a consequence of messing with the camera software.
When I take video for Facebook Live, I do save the videos in HD to my phone, but I also notice that the audio volume is low. How can I adjust this? I generally take videos at live band performances where I'm right at the front of the stage.. Unfortunately, I have to turn my headset speakers up to hear the sound.
Additional information: Normally, I keep my phone's volumes on mute. Would this have an impact on audio recording quality? Those that normally take Facebook Live videos, how are your volumes set? And also, can you hear the sound pretty well? When taking video, I'm normally towards the front of the stage, or at it, where the speakers are. Not sure if this has an impact on audio quality being so low or not.
8/25/19 EDIT: Over FOUR months later, still no replies to this topic, will bump. OP has been edited with a second paragraph.
I was about to post this question again but apparently I already had, over 4 months ago. No response, so this is a shameless bump. I've edited the OP a bit with "Additional Information". I took another Facebook live video yesterday and I'm still getting the same low volume in my recording.
Does anyone have any experience using an attached microphone with the Galaxy Note 9?
