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.

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
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.
Hi everyone, and thanks for the forum...
Some days ago I went to see live music and I made a video recording...As you can imagine, the music were loud. The next day when I played back the video, I noticed that the sound were very bad, distorsion everywhere...
I have check it again, I recorded another video inside the car with the music loud and I got the same result.
In my opinion MIC levels (2 microphones for both channels) are very high. As I don´t know how to fix it I have thought in the ENG.MODE. It could be the solution.
I have accessed to ENG MODE with code *#*#2846579159#*#* but I don´t know where to find the MIC level setting.
Could anyone help with this or with other ideas?
Thank you!!!!

Anyone knows about engeneering mode? Please help
Hi guys,
since my Nexus 4 days I am always facing the same issue of massive sound distortions while listening to music. The same holds true for my Nexus 7 (2013) and bow the nexus 6.
When playing music (e.g. Via Spotify or poweramp) the music stutters including horrible sounds similar to a broken venyl as soon as I put a little bit of load on the cpu. While on my Nexus 4 the problem was also there when the screen was of or even during phone calls the latter is fine on the n6.
I have tried all kind of kernels, schedulers and governors, but i can't make this go away at all.
It's weird that I have the same problem on all my Nexus devices. Since I do not read about others having this issue I guess I must do something wrong.
Does anyone have an idea?
Merry Christmas ?!

Turn your EQ down or master volume down.
Or try flashing the zip for stock volume on your N6 i made a few days back - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57678105&postcount=77
Hi. Thanks for your help. I tried to follow your advice, but unfortunately it didn't help. It's not related at to my volume at all. Also I didn't tinker with EQ etc. all.
I also did a clean flash with stock kernel and just tried spotify. Same thing happened.
This is really weird since it's affecting all my Nexus devices and no one else seems to have that problem though.

Is it your headphones?
What music? Is it the same files across devices? That'd where I would start. If it's any and all music then who knows.. What app are you using....?
If it's persistent across multiple devices, the problem is most likely either your headphones or the quality of your music files. You could test this by listening to an album you have in both the format you have now and a higher quality (like FLAC) and see if there is a difference. Also, if you are editing your mixer_path's and/or using a sound modification, lower standard audio will have some distortion sounds depending on how high you set the numbers.
My setup is:
RHA 10TI Hi-fi NR earbuds
High quality music files (FLAC, etc. nothing below 320 if in lossy format)
HP and RX's set to 30 and 94, respectively
Hope this helps you out.
Hey guys, thank's for all your answers and I'm sorry for my late response. I am using spotify as my daily music app. But the problem also occurs on YouTube or regular mp3s using poweramp with different quality files. It can't be the headphones actually, because i have the same distortions when using the phone speakers. I haven't tried flac files though.
I am still somewhat clueless about that. I was thinking about a rma of the n6 but then why would it be the same problem on all 3 devices. Hmpf.
Thanks very much for your help!
I have the same problems with my phone no matter what app I use and when I'm on the phone to where no one can hear me. I rma mines this week and it was overnight shipping label from Motorola. So they will have my device this Friday 2/15. They told me I will receive a new phone in return. To be honest I didnt have this problem until I updated to 5.0.1
Hmm, I really do not want to do a rma though. What I have realized is that YouTube Videos also freeze for a milisecond as well as soon as the sound distortion 'kicks' in. Seems as this really is related to the cpu not bring able to handle the 'load'.
I flashed Euphoria rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/rom-euphoria-os-beta-0-3-t2954615 and now problem is gone. No distortion sound anymore.
Hi community,
I just ordered a 3t a few days ago but read afterwards about the massive microphone problems the 3 is suffering.
Phone calls shall be OK but sound recordings in videorecorder, WhatsApp, Skype etc shall sound very distorted, quiet and muffled.
Rumors are that this is a software issue but OnePlus isn't able (or willing) to fix this issue for months now. As the 3t has a slightly newer software build i want to know if this issue is present at the 3t too.
Kind regards
No issues with sound recorded on my 3t. I just listened to several videos I took and the sound was fine.
Thx for your reply. As I just read in a changelog the issue with recording videos got fixed with the 3.2.2 update. But the bad recording quality in WhatsApp, Skype, etc. shall still remain.
So it would be good if someone could test it with WhatsApp or Skype.
Used Skype last night talking to my niece and no issues with the microphone. She said she could hear me loud and clear.
I've noticed very low volume when I record in Snapchat, but haven't tested other applications.
Hmm, so it can not be fully excluded that this issue got transferred from 3 to 3t, damn...
It seems low overall to me, honestly. Snapchat in particular just seems to have a hard time picking up other sounds--like if I take a video of the TV, I have to be fairly close to the sound source. Or it has to do with the media sound level, as that seems super low until the top 20% or so to me.
Duo
My calling partners on Duo report hearing themselves as they speak. Is the microphone too close to the speaker on the 3t?
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/noise-cancelling-mic-too-aggressive.477798/
Made a bug report for this. Watch/reply if you're having the same issue to try and get some attention on the subject, as I hear it didn't work so well for the regular Oneplus 3 and took a while for a fix to roll out. Regular video recording sounds fine, but Snapchat cracks and pops when I record video of another source (TV, etc).
As far as I know it's not completely fixed on the 3 yet!
Still people are complaining about the awkward soundrecording. I think you should have mentioned that this issue is present in almost every third party app that uses the microphone.
Hello guys how´s going?
I´ve just bought an OnePlus 3T and noticed that the sound recording in whatsapp is very distorced and muffled..
I´m running 100% stock the latest update (Nougat 7.0).

Tks guys

I have no issue on the mic. and have updated to the latest update of Nougat 7.0.
I use to send sound record on whatsapp also just fine. call on whatsapp, or BBM also just fine.
Am sorry i just reply to tell u mine has no issue on the latest update of Nougat 7.0.
but I have no idea on the issue and the fix for it.
Hello guys
Just to add some information, this issue with the mic only happens with WhatsApp recording.
When it comes to record some audio with native SW, the sound is perfect.

i notice this problem too.....during snapchat video audio is not perfect but when we record in audio recorder it is perfect
Major issues here as well...Skype and Hangout Calls are absolutely horrific, I literally have to talk into the device (like 1cm away from it) in order to make sure that my voice remains clear. Even after 10 cm distance my skype/hangout partner has quite a hard time to understand anything. I just tested it with skype test call as well - horrific. I´m on the newest stock. Had no problems with my nexus 6p or my iphone 6S plus, I was able to have calls from like 5 meters distance without problems (honestly)
All this complaining about Snapchat WhatsApp etc... Who cares there all stupid worthless apps that everyone thinks it's so cool to put every second of their lives on there (lames). Heres few permanent solutions for you people. 1. Just stop using those dumb social media apps and talk to people with your mouth like it was intended. 2. Go buy a stupid Samsung phone or something that is commercially big in the States then you wouldn't have a problem. Think about it oneplus probably knew about these bugs before it was ever mentioned here. They aren't concerned with social media apps. They are concerned with their oos bugs and improving there devices.

Why buy a SMARTphone if you can't use social media on it ? Maybe if you had a brain you could answer us.
Me too !! I get the same problem with the recording sound !! Have you find a solution ?
Factory reset that's at least what did the job for me.
Hi all,
not sure if anyone else has this issue. When I record anything with my RP2, whether its on snapchat, camera or audio recorder, the slightest bit of bass within the recording massively distorts the whole thing. Razer were no help as they didnt understand what I was saying or trying to explain. Its always had this issue as far as I can remember.
Anyone got any ideas?
Tried the factory settings ect and updating.
