Hey guys, I've come across this strange issue with my sensation's mic. It doesn't pick up audio as loud as b4.
I was recording videos today and realized when I played them back, that the audio was really soft and distorted. I played my older videos and they sounded soo much louder and clearer!
So what's the problem? Anyone else have similar issues? I need some help troubleshooting this Mic problem!
Btw, I am using ARHD rom.

Hi all,
I'm making this thread just to let everyone know, that I discovered a DRAMATIC sound improvement when recording video on MIUI 1.9.30, which is my current rom.
I've done a lot of videos of myself playing the cello lately. Until now I've been on VoidU rom and the sound of the videos was very bad. It seemed clear that the internal microphone of the Desire S is not capable of recording the loud sound of a cello being about 2 meters away from it. The result was a crackling and strongly distorted sound.
It was a very pleasant surprise to hear my today's recordings, as the sound is incomparably better then it was before. It's actually good enough for publishing on youtube. I would never imagine that this could be possible just changing software.
(Didn't test it with other roms yet.) Thanx SuperKid!

Any idea what exactly the changes were? were they in ROM base or in the Kernel? and more importantly can they be moved into a Sense ROM! like VoidU!!!
Yea, thanks for posing these questions for me.
Well I don't know if this is ROM or kernel. And it might be a little tricky to test, since the kernels of VoidU and MIUI aren't interchangeable, right?
What I can do is try MIUI with TIAMAT in the same conditions.
As to what happened with the sound exactly, my impression is that the MIUI ROM might somehow guard the recording process so it does not get overexcited. It sounds like it is cutting off the excess sound input and maybe even compressing it, so it fits the possibilities of the recording device.
I thing this is often used in pro. sound recording, and the device (or software) is called compressor. You can set a loudness limit and the device takes everything that exceeds that limit and makes it quieter.

Try to post some bits of the vids later so you can see the difference.

I don't know if anyone tried this, but recording a video while having your earphones plugged into your Desire S improves the audio quality as well.
Too bad there isn't any news on increasing FPS, or is there?
Hi,
Ive had my Sensation for a good while now and despite upgrading to new current roms the sound is still horribly distorted when recording video.
Has this been fixed yet and if not is it ever going to be fixed?
By the way, I have tried disabling stereo etc and it makes no real difference, its still terrible.
Thanks
Nat.
I have the same problem :/ its horrible for concerts

What rom are you on? I believe Sense 3.0 has that issue. You can use the beta 3.5 roms if you wish (but the battery sucks on that) OR use what I like which is: ICS! The recording "clipping" noises is gone (at least for me it is)
same here, surprisingly though, audio from rezound's video recording turned out really good (minus the occasional scratch/pop sounds..)
Hardware issue?
Do you have a case? I noticed the same thing and then it came to me.
Sensation actually has two microphones (for stereo recording) so when you use a case most of them dont have appropriate holes so only recording source is the mic on the bottom. Sucks I know but its better then a naked phone
First of all I am sorry if there is thread with same issue but I couldn't find it.
My problem is not in tinny sound or no sound at all. It is problem that during calls sound from earpiece is distorted and I can't hear clearly what are people saying to me. This distortion is present every time even on speakerphone. On headset sound is clear.
I don't know when exactly that began but it was somewhere around when I S-OFF the phone with AAHK and installed IceColdSandwich.
First I thought it was earpiece and replaced it, but the problem remains. Then I notice that when I turn on speakerphone while headset is plugged in the sound in earpiece is clear. I also tried to play music without headset and noticed that in this case also sound is clear in earpiece. (on speakerphone and when I listen to music sound is also reproduced in earpiece besides loudspeaker on the back of the phone).
So I concluded that it is problem with some mics. Then I noticed that main difference between DHD and Inspire 4G is dual mic (mic near flash) so i then tried several ROMs for Inspire and DHD, with or without inspire mod fix and also stock GB ROM. I also flashed several radios (12.39a.60.19x_26.06.06.30, 12.56.60.25x_26.10.04.03_M, 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M) but no avail.
I think that it seems to be software issue but I don't know what radio or ROM to try.
Did anyone have this issue or knows how ti fix it?
Hi,
When capturing a video with the M8, I've noticed a distinct and loud hissing sound when playing the video back, even when there is no sound in the background. I've compared this to a friends M7 which doesn't have the hissing sound at all. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks.

unless you are holding something in your hand that could cause RF interference it sounds like you got a bad phone....

Hey guys, I don't know if this has been addressed but I just bought my one plus and I've been listening to Spotify in the car. I'm a huge commuter and listening to music is a huge part of my daily work week. What I notice is random audio blurring and bleeping and audio popping that I'm not sure if it's a defect in my device or is a software issue. It seems that the audio is screeching into brief blurbs and it causes high frequency random blurbs in the music. It's hard for me to explain. Does anyone else notice this? Is this only with Spotify? Or is this something that my phones hardware? I'm using an Aux cable that's worked perfectly with my iPhone in the past. I'm running cm12 nighty 2/21 with AK kernel under volted. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. :crying:
Bump for help
There are several threads already discussing this here in the OnePlus One section, have a look around and you'll find them.
