Galaxy Note 5 Changing the default Microphone - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I have a problem, somehow my built in Mic is not working at all but galaxy note 5 has also another mic on the camera, this means if I call anyone I can't talk because my built in mic is not working but If i turn speakerphone on I can talk and people can hear me, probably because when speaker is on it uses the camera mic and not the built in. Is there anyway that I can change de default built in mic to be the camera mic instead? I already rooted and search for any xml on the root explorer but so far, couldnt find the default mic configuration!
Thank you!

I have the same issue. Did you ever find a way to do this?

Bluetooth Microphone only?

I wonder if any of you know the existance of a bluetooth microphone so I can record a class. I love to be able to leave the mic close to the instructor desk and be able to record with better quality.
I am using my mogul to record with the external mic and it's fairly good for the distance btw the device and the speaker, but I have to do some audio editing in order to hear a clear sound.
Anyone? or maybe another solution for this?
Thanks

Possible to use an external microphone?

So, I recently got my unit and been trying to get it to work with an external microphone. I have puluz shotgun mic that connects via 3.5mm jack. I have a headphone adapter so I was trying to get it to work with open camera. No dice.
Anybody got an external microphone to work?

I've not used a proper external mic, though I've a Mi Youth wired headset that works just fine.
I read of someone being unable to get a usbc mic to work

I'm planning to use the shotgun mic for videos so I wouldn't have to get a label but if I can't make this work, I doubt a label would.
I've only tested it with my mic so I don't know if it's a compatibility issue or not since I tested the mic on my PC and it works just fine. I hope this is not a hardware limitation.

Not sure what you mean by "a label" (maybe a lapel mic?)
Also I'm not sure if my post was clear that the mic function of my wired headset works fine.
Suggest you have a look at the poles on your microphone jack. Fwiw my headset has 4 poles, though I couldn't tell you which is which.
It tends to be that poles 1 and 2 are left and right audio, 3 is ground and 4 mic - it's possible that Xiaomi use a nonstandard set up on their devices but unlikely.
Depending on the poles on your mic you could probably pick up an adapter plug to switch the poles about or else use insulation tape to blank off some of them

Yep. Lapel mic. Auto correct kept changing it. I bought an adapter so I would have 4 poles but still not working. I tested the mic if it actually works and it worked fine in my PC.
Boya Lapel mic Works with POCO F1
i tried Boya mic with default camera app and it does not work.
I tried with other third party camera app from Play store which allow us to customise the mic settings
I set external mic in the setting and shot a video. Boya works fine with poco f1
Whixh third party camera app?
I've tried open camera but it doesn't work with my BOYA BY-MM1. Can you please share which camera app you got your pocophone to work with an external mic.
A microphone and an app to record sound properly
If you go to this link:
a2zapk.com/345718-easy-voice-recorder-pro-2-5-7-b11089-paid-a2z.html
you have the "pro" version of this app, is really pro. You can record in .WAV lossless if you change it in settings, also in stereo and with 48Khz...
Download it, go to setting and change everything to the maximum quality.
Also have a noise reduction and echo reduction
And the mic can be:
BOYA BY-M1
I hope you like it! :good:
Works with the open camera app

I used open camera. go to setting and change audio source to external mic. The default app doesnt let you use the external mic is a shame. I am creating a video checking the quality of the mic right now, will post it in a day on my youtube channel trouvaille -by Aamir
This is the best Android app for recording audio (interview etc), also good for video shoots to edit & sync later:

I have the same problem on my poco f1
I tried using my lapel mic, boya mic, shotgun mic all mics faiked to tecord soubd through external mic. The video gets its sound from intetnal mic by default. I ttied all settings but no use.
Its a shame we are not able to use external mic on such a device with good video capapbility.
Not tried any third party apps yet. Plz suggest the besy one that really works.
I use a USB mic blue snowball. With a USB c converter and software from play store. That works.
Some info on 3.5mm connectors on this page: http://www.epanorama.net/newepa/2014/09/15/android-device-external-mic-wiring/
Most (if not all) android phones use the AHJ pinout.
Any solution for this?
Which type is Pocophone?

Hi. Does Pocophone F1 use AHJ or OMTP? Thanks.

external microphone when recording video

Has anyone successfully recorded videos on the 4a 5G and used an external microphone? If so, which microphone was it that worked and gave you good audio in the recording?
In a similar thread on the 3a, many people said and external mic should work but, apparently, it didn't.
Since there were no replies to my question, I wanted to report what I just found out. I bought the following from Amazon for $14: PoP voice Professional Lavalier Lapel Microphone Omnidirectional Condenser Mic for iPhone Android Smartphone,Recording Mic for Youtube,Interview,Video and it does work with my pixel 4a 5g. Two things that you need to know, though. One is that you have to select external mic from within the video recorder options pulldown. And, two, you need to unplug the mic to hear the playback when watching your recordings because when it's plugged in, the phone thinks there is a headset attached.
Since I just got it, I don't really have any feedback on the mic itself beyond the fact that it works and it's cheap.

primary microphone broken

I have a Moto X4 running Android 9.0 (pie). Recently, I have noticed that its microphone is not working in calls i.e. person on the receiving end can not hear my voice, only noise instead. And after searching for possible workarounds, I tried to put it on speakerphone but to no avail, noise still persists. But when I try to record a video via camera app, it records audio clearly without any noise whatsoever.
It has a primary mic and two noise cancellation mics. It seems to me that the primary mic has gone bad and the other two mics are being used in video recording.
So my question is, is there any way to use/force secondary microphone as a default mic through build.prop or some other alternative?
Headphone jack seems to be broken too, so I can unfortunately not use any earphones as external mic.
Please help.
I'm facing the same issue ,have you found any hack for that ?
