Since the stock voice recorder that came with captivate produced very low quality sound, I tried other free recorders in the market. But all the apps that I tried spit out an error when I select the 44Khz sampling rate. The error that I get is "The application ___ has stopped unnexpectedly. Please try again."
Can someone please confirm if they can record above 22Khz (This is the maximum setting I can use, but occasionally it does stutter)? I find that I have to reinstall the application if I choose the 44Khz option prior to choosing the smaller rates.
And also, is there an app that filters out background noise captured by the mic before the sound is sent to other programs?
So no one experienced the above problem?
Since day 1, I also find that all of my voice recordings stutter once in a while. I know others have complained about the stuttering in the 720p video recording. I am wondering whether this might be due to the limitation of the write speed of the partition in the internal sd card or whether it is a hardware defect. Any feedback appreciated.
I have already applied Ryan's lag fix, but that didn't help with my stuttering problems.
any voice recording app that uses wav causes a force close for me regardless of the sampling rate i select. not really a problem for me since i never use voice notes for anything and if i ever need to the stock one does fine.
Thanks for clarifying the force close problem..
The stock one records to 13bit 8Khz AMR. This is a very lite rate, but I still notice stuttering once in maybe 3min as opposed to like once every 30s w/ 16Khz wav. I usually record for like 60min straight and I have noticed stuttering in all of my recordings. I sometimes record music so I would love to have a clean recording.
Do you notice the stuttering? I don't want to be the loner.
I would ideally like to record to my external SD card and see if it resolves the issue but I haven't found an app that does. Any suggestions appreciated.
Try Rehearsal Assistant
I agree. Stock Voice Recorder sucks on Captivate. They need to get this fixed. The voice is over processes and it sounds as chipmunks.
For me Rehearsal Assistant works the best. You can chose .wav or .3gp.
The Captivate seems to be hardware-limited to 22kHz sampling rates or below. This really sucks! Tape Machine on the Captivate won't let you select anything above 22050 Hz. On Evo, 44100 works flawlessly. I wonder why nobody is complaining about this?
I recently flashed to JM5 and applied RyanZA's lag fix. Now I am able to record at 44khz. Not sure what could have enabled it. But i still notice minute stuttering at that rate. I will keep you guys updated.
No more stuttering @ 16khz. I think this problem has always been the RFS file system lag. hopefully after supercurio's file system fix even 44khz will be butter smooth.

I am trying to test the microphone on the GTab. I sideloaded fring and tried to make a test call. The microphone was all crackly. Not useable. Is there another app to try to test the mic? What I want to know is if it is the device or fring. I tried to get Yahoo Messenger with the Video app but I haven't been able to find the apk anywhere that is the current version.
how about the sound recorder that's included in the GAPPs file?

I was also going to suggest as the quickest check... or Rehersal Assistant from the Market if you want to really test sound quality better saving a raw uncompressed audio file for playback on tab or elsewhere...
Microphone Sucks
I purchased this in part to perhaps do video conferencing. I tried the sound recorder with the unit at arms length distance and tried to record my voice. It was so faint through the speakers with my normal speaking voice I could hardly tell that I had recorded anything. This is not a good sign. Even talking way loud (shooting), it was barely audible through the speakers with the volume at 100 percent. Now that may not be how someone would perceive it in a video chat application but I don't have high hopes.
Anyone else record anything through the microphone? Is there any other approach that would work (Bluetooth Headset)?
i have Talking Tom open at my desk while im at work because it entertains me when i yell at my employees
i notice no issues with volume or quality
For a long time, my camcorder has lagged in every video with frameskips and freezes. It just freezes up for a few seconds, and when it comes back, the audio is out of sync! Does anyone know how to fix this? I've looked all around the forums and I can't find any solution. This essentially makes it so I can't record any video. I'm on MIUI 1.7.8 on the Incredible.

I feel your pain. The same thing happens to me, and it doesn't matter what ROM I use, (and I've tried a ton) it freezes and then the audio goes out of sync. I'm almost at a total loss too, but I think I may try a faster SD card. I currently have a class 2, and I can get a class 6 on newegg for about $14. Might be worth a try. I don't remember having this issue on the stock firmware, but I also remember I was able to save to internal storage then, and also the audio quality during recordings was terrible on stock. The audio is MUCH better on newer roms. So, to me, it's either storing to emmc was faster then, or now the extra processing power for the better audio is causing that hiccup. The one of those 2 things I can control is the speed of the SD card, so there's my logic.
I would love to find an actual proven solution....
Hi there,
I noticed that when I'm recording a video in a noisy place, like a concert hall or something like that, the sound is horrible, you can hardly understand what is going on. Is there a way to solve the problem?
Unlikely. Sound recording is a delicate thing. To produce quality recording, huge directed microphones are used, the sound is recorded at a very high rate, and filters are applied. None of those can be done on a phone.

OK, I understand that, I'm working with sound. But I read somewhere that this is happening due to the ARM codec, which compress the sound at a very low biterate. Can this be changed? Or, at least, lowered the recording volume?
Again, no, because - 1) you're limited by the codec HW implementation, 2) the write speed to SD card is limited, and the less you compress the audio - the more bandwidth it takes.
The recording volume can be lowered, I think. Just not sure how - never tried.
Hello,
As you should have noticed the sound is recorded with to high gain on camcorder.
I want to ask if anyone was able to fix this.
Every time I use the camcorder to record something noisy, like a concert or something, it gets impossible to understand the music because the camera records with to much gain.
Is there any way to reduce that gain, or some way to cover the camcorder microphones in order to record with a lower volume??
This happens with every ROM I tried, so I think it's an hardware problem and not a ROM's problem.
Did anyone tried to fix that and wants to share how to do it?!?!
Thank you
Hey folks,
since i flashed cm 12, my mic quality decreased. It is like the sampling rate is gone down, i dunno. I can feel this when i record Voice Message via Whatsapp or use any recording Apps . Anyone with same trouble or Solution? During a phone call its ok.
greets
I'm not rooted, stock rom. I use hi-q mp3 recorder for audio recording. Adjustable bitrate, frequency.
with hi-q i have good quality at high sample rate. i assume that whatsapp is recording with a low sample rate.
Anyone idea's about what can i do?
