I have horrible sound recording during videos. My first video was shot in the bathroom and I thought maybe the sound was overwhelming for the mic bit after further review I have noticed that all of mu videos have bad sound. Inside /outside and everywhere in between. Any ideas?

Video on mines been excellent sound has left something to be desired, guess the real question is what kinda video are you shooting in the bathroom lol jk
Hahaha...my 2 yrs twins were in the bath.
That worries me that no one has had an issue. I bought mine off Craigslist and can't return it to the store...I'm sure htc would fix it but I don't want to send it in. Sad face

I've also noticed the sound on mine being a problem. It seems if the sound is too loud, it just turns into static. Does anyone have a solution to this? Possibly a different video recording software that works better than the OEM software on the Vivid?
Have you tried checking the videos on your computer? HTC has a rep for putting bad speakers in their phones.

I've played the videos on the computer with the same results. I just didn't know if there is a setting for equalizing the Mic.

It's not just you. Look at the sample videos on YouTube and you'll notice the same poor sound quality on all of them.
I am starting to think this maybe an audio driver issue or cheap audio hardware. I get poor sound through mu headphones as well. Its not very loud and sounds seem blended together. Missing my infuse and voodoo sound. Sad face

I get good sound through the headphone jack as well as the earpiece and speaker but I will agree that sound quality in videos is crap. The mic gets constantly overwhelmed with sounds that aren't even that loud, and in playback that results in momentary muting of the sound altogether.

Yeahhhh, I'm really disappointed in the video sound quality. I was at the Watch The Throne (jayz and kanye) show a few days ago and got some reeeeally good videos.. However the audio is pure static and white noise. Smh
Mine is fine. No better no worse than my i4s was.
No problems here...works gr8

Uncheck stereo recording and see if that helps. That's one of the solutions for the Sensation and Amaze. (We suffered the same problems.)

Same problem
My wife complains all the time that since switching from my iPhone 3Gs to the Vivid she can barely hear me during phone conversations. I have also had terrible luck with the audio on my video recordings. I was trying to record my son's band, and I thought the drums were just too much for it to handle, but I just recorded a very mild piano recital with the same results. The audio playback on both the phone and computer are terrible. It just sounds like it is coming in waves. I hope there is a patch that they can release to correct this problem.

I've learned that the BEST way to get mediocre (at best) audio is to use my old iPhone headphones (that has a mic built in).. I'm going to a concert tonight. I'll test out the quality then. I'll post a vid on YouTube if it's up to par.
I actually started using lgcamera from the market. I get consistent 30fps and if you change the sound options to aac, 44100khz, 128kbs it sounds amazing. It's still mono but no more Mic clipping or gain issues. Much better than HTC camcorder with mono audio.
I can finally record my daughter and understand what she is saying. And being at 44khz, sound is great.
I've tried this app about 5 months ago and it wasn't as fluid as it is now. So I'm keeping this version's apk handy. Give it a try since its free. (don't check the enable stereo beta thing...I think it actually records backwards..)

Damn, I gave it a try. Initially, it'll launch but when I press record it says a failed error message. Then sometimes it freezes when I try to adjust the settings.. Then I force closed it and open it back up and the screen is black. I did a restart with no success.
It might have something to do with me having an htc vivid with the amaze camera apk (via holiraider rom)
I have recently converted over from the Inspire to the Vivid. I REALLY love this phone but for one flaw. I'm not sure if its on my end or if its a common problem.
The best way I can describe it is when I'm listening to Pandora or Google Music, it will "chirp" as it hits parts of a song. I have beats turned off and the volume is low and I have tried different headsets to no avail. I am currently on the OTA ICS version of Android.
I don't know if there is something in the market that would help or if this is something I should take to the AT&T store about. Any help would be appreciated.

I have not experienced this... perhaps you could record the sound with something else and upload it?
I guess I should specify that's in the headphones.
I'll try to record it but I'm not sure how I'll go about doing that.

I have a HTC Vivid. When I talk into it with or without the cover, people tell me they have a hard time hearing me. Like its muffled. I talk loud and clear and the same. Is there a how to on how to replace a internal mic for it?
Do you have a case that covers the back of the phone?
There is a noise cancelling mic on the back that can cause problems if it is blocked in any way...
Try removing the case

I don't. I do have a case a bought for it but I took it off thinking that was the problem. Didn't fix it. Just sounds muffled every time I talk to some one. I can hear them excellently but they hear a muffled sound with me. No matter what I do.
What kernel/ROM?

I've had this problem before and it was a bad download for a custom rom. Try to redownload the rom and perform the necessary wipes that should fix it as it did mine

What does the vibration normally sound like? My HTC one has a metallic vibration sound. I'm not sure if its broken or not?

"Metallic Vibration"... Did you know that your phone is made from metal aluminum? HENCE the metal sound you hear

I think I heard someone else mention that it was the OIS moving around in the camera
My first One had the rattle with haptic feedback- which was coming from the camera lense. The One I have no does not have the rattle when typing.

Just got my One, it's going back tomorrow. When I first turned it on, there was this obnoxious rattle from the haptic motor. This was NOT the camera.
I recently got a second hand HTC One and flashed the GE ROM. Now using the same exact sim and network provider as my N4, the noise gate on the One is set too high for phone calls!
This basically means that when I'm talking to someone on the phone, if they are not talking loud enough, they are cut out all together. So when someone is really soft I hear nothing at all. When someone is on the edge I hear them ducking in and out. And when someone is taking loudly I hear it perfectly clear.
Call volume does not effect this issue, and it doesn't effect media in any way. So it's happening on the phone call before it gets to the OS. But after it gets to the phone.
Any ideas? It doesn't seem to be a know issue that I can see. Is it a hardware fault?

I have always had this trouble, and did not know why. Thought my service was shawty. Would love to find out if a fix is possible, as it can be a pain.

Good to know I'm not the only one. It must be something set by the hardware (or the firmware).
Are you can running HTC Sense or a custom ROM?

So It's got nothing to do with my ROM either. Maybe that's just the default that HTC wants you to use.
If someone can find any information on how to change this functionality, I think we'd all appreciate a link
