been jumping around from ROM to ROM, doing full weepies before flashing like you're supposed to.
just noticed that the audio recording for both videos and straight up audio recordings isn't as high of quality as it used to be. anyone else having this issue? it's almost like the noise canceling mics aren't being used

Can you tell us what Roms you've been jumping to? Are you using the HTC camcorder app?
From what I know the audio has been clipped in the 2.3.4 sense Roms if you have stereo recording checked. It has been fixed mostly in the 2.3.5 sense leak. But lately a lot of the Sense 3.5 builds have been using the Amaze camera where that high mic gain is back...

Hello!
Everyone knows about a piece of software which makes the camera record loud sound as for example on the iPhone4/4S?
Yesterday I recorded a video (Stereo recording UNCHCEKED) in a club - the video quality was OK, the sound was a distorted rubbish.
I searched the whole XDA, looks like SGS II has something like this. Anything for the Sensation?
Tried some suggestions - none working
Mine does it as well - I guess its hardware

The microphone of the Sensation is just ****. Nothing you can do about it.
Are you on an ICS Rom? The high gain got fixed in Sense 3.6. Also the camera in the market, Camera ICS, should help also. Its the same camera in the Galaxy Nexus. You can up the bitrate for better looking videos. The sound is mono, but it is not bad.

I have no problems with video. Loud audio (music) just can not be recorded - so far with none of the Android phones it seems.

DSP manager in CM10, no problem to control: the mic input - 4 levels. I can shoot videos with nice audio, for example a Rock Concert.:victory:
My speaker quality sucks while recording 1080p. After I record a video and play it back my voice sounds all high pitched and annoying is this normal the sensation.

uncheck "Stereo recording" and try again
Htc needs to step thier speaker/Mic quality up.

That did make it a little better, but I guess this phone's mic just sucks all around. I sound like I have a lisp at the end of words .

We all sound horrible when we listen to ourselves
I'm new on HTC and I would like to ask anyone here, which custom rom with boosted notification and sound enhancement? having some hard time to pick up phone, due very low sound even to the Max, the most problemnin my sensation xe is listening music, ringing and notification sound are very low, and found out viewing video the sound is way loud, so I guess that this speaker capable to boost, so maybe the original rom has locked fully potential of the phone.. I have checked all the problem at Google, still no position it, I'm sorry to said if there is already a tread for this topic..
Sorry for.my bad English..

Hi,
Try looking HERE
Hey all, I'm new to XDA and just picked up a HTC sensation. I noticed the sound quality, coming from an iphone to Sensation, is not even close. Any sugguestions (apps/tweaks) since this model does not come with beats audio already on it? (FYI I have not rooted/unlockd the phone) Thanks in advance.
Root it. Then you can put on a rom that has beats already installed. All it is is software
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
like the above post says. First root your phone then install any custom rom that has beats audio in it.
root your device.. Then you can install new mods (softwares) which can increase the sound of your speakers or like the above stated.. Use a beats enabled ROM.. The thing about iphone is (after using iphones for past 3 years) its not as customizable as the android phone. And i feel, amongst the android phone.. HTC device has the most quality and best community interms of development.
You can try what you like but nothing I've done (beats/volume+/etc.) has made any real difference and compared to the iphone the sound output is a complete joke (my friends and family with iphones have literally started laughing out the output.)

It actually is embarrassing trying to play a song I like for my girlfriend on this phone and it royally fails. I then sheepishly ask to use her 4S which just abuses this phone. And good luck talking on the phone with the windows down. You won't hear a damn thing.
Literally my only complaint about this phone. Wish they would have put a better speaker in this bad boy.

Does rooting really enhances the audio quality? How drastic is the change?

sensation has a terrible loudspeaker
nothing you can really do about it to be honest. equalizers wont help much since its more of a hardware issue (they used a ****ty speaker)
headphone quality is amazing though
Using srs made my sensation sound better than a 3gs

Install Poweramp, its a powerful music player with equalizer controls. It beats having Beats.
root it
Root your device and install Viper-S Rom
It has beats-audio and you will love iT

Sound quality in sensation is hardware issue more than software (although the stock player isn’t good too, as crosstalk problem is really serious). Not only the speaker mentioned above, chip used, amp circuit used are not quite well in sensation. Having beats audio won’t help much too as it is only a (software) equalizer boosting the bass and treble, if you able to try EQ with variable cf and Q, or 1/2Oct EQ, boosting first 3 and last 3(for 1/2 Oct) with 4dB, you'll get what HTC called "beats audio". Qualcomm CPU is also a problem affecting sound quality as it forced resampling the sound signal from 44.1kHz (usually used by CDs and Android will also force resampling to this) to 48kHz(used by video format), which increase the total harmonic distortion.
Few things you can try to improve sound quality of sensation, install music player (Poweramp, PlayerPro, Neutron, Rockbox, etc.), using a better headphone (better with active noise cancellation as mobile phones usually have serious distortion due to wireless signal, monitor, mobile signal, etc.). Equalizers won’t help sound quality but coloring it.

Its not rooting that enhances the sound its the mods you can apply afterwards that will.

We got our Sensation 4Gs with OS 2.3.4 and the audio in/out sucked. The OTA ICS 4.0.3 update addressed a lot of those issues. It doesn't fix the hardware but the speakers sound a little louder and definitely clearer, as does the audio in newer video recordings. Recordings played back from before the ICS update still exhibit "audio crappiness".
root your sensation first
