I have the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G. And I have noticed a strange phenomenon that occurs with the sound whenever I try to screen record using the built-in screen recorder. When playing a game the sound sounds like a normal phone... However, when I start to screen record the sound all of the sudden gets more depth and the bass is louder and the clarity is a lot better. How could a screen recorder make the speakers sound better? Are the speakers not already going at their full potential? If not, how would I go about enabling it to sound the same as when the screen recording is enabled?
As a little background, I am not new to electronics and I am a power user. I've already been up and down the sound settings and through the developers options, but to no avail. There doesn't seem to be any discussion anywhere about this particular phenomenon...
Interesting. May be the codec that's being used.
See what it is in Developer options when in those states.
Could be a firmware glitch... like those never happen in Samsungs

Well I have been playing around with a TON of apps on the watch over the last few days and have stumbled across what looks like a security feature when trying to shoot video, look below:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lr31l5gyod7r05p/VID_20131019_192758_237[1].mp4
Something else strange is that with every app the camera makes the same shutter sound, even with the sound mode off on the app.
I know there is a way now to turn the shutter sound completely off, I just found it very odd that the sound would continue to play even in 3rd party apps with the noise turned off.
Anyone find a good camera to use with the watch that will get around the 15sec file limit? Not looking to max the memory out with a single recording, but something in the 20-30sec range would be nice.
Anyone facing this issue on this device? As stated in the title, it gets distorted when the sound recorded is very loud. Used to work well on my LG G4 and Xperia Z though. Even in normal condition, the quality of the sound recorded is not very good too compared to my previous phones but is considered bearable. After some research, I found that this problem is called audio clipping and already existed since the OPO. I wonder if there is any fix to be done in software like editing the mixer_paths.xml.
Edit: Tried HI-Q MP3 Recorder with raw audio selected in mic selection which means there will be no processing at all (no noise cancellation) and it sounds good surprisingly so is there any way to completely disable this noise cancellation thingy?
I've got the same issue. Recording via OP Camera app, a lot of distortion is in the audio, along with Snapchat too. Using the stock Recording app shows crystal clear audio.

Exactly, noticed this issue when recording high volume audio with snapchat.

Cool, tried the app and the raw mode as suggested. The recording quality is so much better, unbelievable.
It would be great if we could set such a raw mode as default for all recordings (incl. the stock Camera).
Perhaps there is a wise developer around who could help out? Just dreaming...
Man I thought I was the only one dealing with this because I have yet to find a fix for it. However for me it only happens on AOSP/LIneage based ROMS. When I'm on Oxygen OS or Oxygen based ROMS like Freedom OS recording works just fine. It seems to be connected to "Ok Google" functionality because that also stops working for me too on custom ROMS. Ironically it will trigger it initially for me to train my voice model but once I do it stops responding.
Good camera app to use.
I also experienced distortion when trying to record video at a concert. I found an app in the play store called Open Camera. It has an option to record audio unprocessed. I haven't tried it yet in a concert setting but maybe someone will see this and try it. Since many are saying recording with raw audio fixed the distortion issues.
Hello, I just had my S10+ and I love it. The only thing I notice is a click sound made by the camera module lens when changing from mode to another one in the camera apps. Like the lens adapte, and make kind of a 'click' sound. Is it a normal thing for everyone ? Or may it be broken or anything ?
Thanks so much, and hoping I was clear.
So you're not the first one to bring this up. I'm guessing this is your first Samsung phone with a variable aperture lens? I have this on my Note 9 and I guess I've been around louder environments because I never noticed the sound. I just testing this out on my N9 and I can barely hear the sound but it's there when I switched from video mode to picture mode. All the video and photos I've been shooting on my Note 9 for past 5 months have never been negatively affected by this mechanism. So far, everything seems to be in working order. I suspect it will be the same with the new S10 line.
I hope that gives you some better perspective on this feature.
I've got a mi 9t pro with miui 11 updated and in it I can't turn off the front camera sound effect even I turned it off from special features>front camera effects I still hear the sound and even I can't change the sound effect to anything else. Only one sound is played when camera popups even I changed the sound effect. When I off the visual effect it works but sound effect can not be turned off or changed. ??
I had some issue with always empty call history (miui11 global).
Only factory reset helped me.
Hello, new S21 Ultra (Exynos) owner here.
I and my mate are doing a video podcast of sorts and were eager to select the best video setting on my new S21 Ultra - resolution, FPS, wide or main camera etc. We shot some with his Galaxy A71 for control purposes and played our samples back on his Samsung 4K TV. And as the video quality on the S21 Ultra was in most cases better (not much on the wide-angle, it had decent detail but was grainy), the microphone levels were considerably lower than those on the A71.
The quality was there, the details also, but the overall sound was way more silent and the bass/treble was nearly non-existent compared to the ones on the other device.
We started trying to change different settings on my phone with no effect. It's not an S21 Ultra playback issue, as I sent a video to his phone to stream it to the TV from there and the difference persisted.
Compared to a video on my wife's Samsung M31 the difference is also the same.
I did not discover any particular microphone settings other than the zoom-in mic, which made no difference turned off or on. Can it be some other app using the microphone and screwing up its performance? I really hoped that the sound captured on the S21 Ultra would be impressive and not at all sub-par.
Use the pro video mode, there you can change what mics to use....front, back or both or external mic

It works OK by adding 10db to the sound level, but yet I didn't need to use this mode on the other devices. Hopefully the may update will improve this issue. At least it doesn't seem to be hardware related.
