Is there any way to control/change the audio input in the stock Voice Recorder app? I'm trying to record abrupt loud noises (like gunshots) and the automatic input leveling can't handle it.
I'm OK with breaking the app to suit my needs - I can always reload my ROM to bring back the original app.

Hi all, simple question: is there a recording program (like the built-in Voice Recorder) that can use the microphone from a bluetooth headset that is connected?
I would love to be able to take quick audio notes while walking and be able to put the phone back in my pocket. HTC TP2 on Sprint if it matters (no idea why it would).
TIA
e: Extra annoyance, locking the device (standard WM6.5 lock screen, mapped to button) stops the stock Voice Recorder. I'd like it to continue even when losing focus.
bump?
I was wondering if there was an app which would let you, decrease the recording level when recording sound and in videos mainly. When your at a concert or in a club the sound always distorts, I have no idea why phones don't give you the option to set the volume of sound or even deactivate it all together, its a very simple operation really. Anyway is there an app out there that will do this?
Does anyone know if the SGS2 has a built-in audio control app, like the old Samsung Epix did?
With the i907/i780, entering *#0002*28346# would bring up AudioControl and allow you to adjust speaker volume, speakerphone volume, and a few other things. Just wondering if this thing has the same functionality...
Work in complete silence and eliminate the ram/cpu noises that come out of the Tab Pro speakers with this intuitive app.
Hi all! A lot of people are annoyed by the noises that come out of the Tab Pro speakers. Me included, that's why I made an app for that.
!!! When active it mutes all system sounds, including notifications and incoming calls !!!
It's a service that forces audio to the headphones when you put the volume to zero. When the audio is forced to the headphone it is shutting down the speaker amplifier circuit and thus eliminates noises. If you want to have audio again, simply raise the volume with the hardware buttons.
Features:
No CPU/RAM noises! Low memory footprint, event based only. Wakelocks free, save your battery!
Known limitations:
- Mutes all system sounds (notifications, incoming calls etc.) if enabled.
- Only hardware volume buttons are monitored (for efficiency reasons).
- Tested only on stock android 4.4.2 on Tab Pro 8.4 and Nexus 7 2012 running Lolipop 5.1 (dirty unicorns 9.8)
- No enable/disable feature (service <-> app communication probably increases memory footprint a lot)
Installation:
Install app, run once or reboot to get the service started.
Uninstall
Remove the app "NoiseKill" to inactivate and remove the service.
Permissions:
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED to start the service at boot
MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS well... It probably is to modify the audio settings right?!
To other developers:
I am still looking to allow the playback of notifications / incoming calls etc while still suppressing the speaker noises. But I didn't found a way to get this information event based (I could poll though but it would drain the battery very fast).
Please let me know what you think of it.
Awesome! Asked someone for this nearly a year ago but they said it wasn't possible. It seems to be working mostly, sometimes at random it doesn't though. I think when you are at any volume level and you press and hold your volume-down button until muted, the app won't recognize that you have muted until you press once more (when already muted). Only a minor nuisance though, since the noise coming from the speakers is infinitely worse. Thank you very much for this app!
Edit: By the way, running CM12.1 on a TabPro 8.4 here.

The app doesn't seem to be working for CM13. I believe the way the volume is controlled was changed in Marshmallow. Are you planning on updating the app?
I have an Ottocast U2-Plus Android AI box. When I have a music app and a navigation app active at the same time, the audio will switch to a "low quality" mode when the navigation app provides me with directions.
An example of this type of activity can be found here in this YouTube video at 13:15. This activity is different than when Android Auto is active with both a music app and a navigation app active at the same time. In Android Auto, when the navigation app provides me with directions, it will lower the volume of the audio feed from the music app, provide me with directions at full volume from the navigation app, and then it will play music of the audio feed from the music app at full volume. When using a music app and a navigation app from the Android AI box, the audio will switch to a "low quality mode," (e.g., many of the speakers will shut off, and I'll hear some static in the background in addition to the volume of the audio feed from the music app being turned down) which is incredibly jarring.
In the YouTube video I linked to, the video creator provided a workaround for the Google Maps app where this behavior won't be observed if you turn off "OK Google" detection while driving. However, this doesn't fix the issue with Waze, which is the navigation app I primarily use. Turning off "OK Google" detection while driving in Waze does not fix this issue.
Does anyone know of a workaround or fix to avoid the "low quality" sound mode issue for an Android AI box when using a music app and the Waze navigation app? I'd preferably like advice pertaining to the Ottocast U2-Plus, but I'm still within the return period for the U2-Plus, so if you know of a fix for a different Android AI box, I wouldn't mind that recommendation.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may be able to provide!
Oh, after some experimentation I figured it out.
I guess for Waze it's the "play sound to phone speaker setting." So, you need to go into Settings->Voice & Sound->Play sound to phone speaker needs to be set to OFF.
Thank you for taking the time and sharing this, really helped me!
