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:

Hi everyone, this is my first post here.
I bought for about 1 month Nexus S, and I am extr disappointed with the quality of audio when recording video.
The sound quality of the video, such as concerts out very badly.
Has anyone exeperienciou this, and knows how to get around?
Any sugestion!?
Concerts are usually way to loud to record with a cell phone microphone.

Flash a kernel that supports voodoo. I use the netarchy kernel. It fixes the low quality audio recording problem.

I have some problems with my mic when filming. When I play my video's back the sound is really distorted. It seems like it's over sensitive? I recorded a video at the beach and even the noise of small waves distorts the sound. It's kinda hard to explain but does anyone recognise this or maybe my mic is broken?

You're not the only one. That's the main reason I'm now using Stock 2.08.401.1 rooted. No more "high mic gain" on videos.

So there's no more distortion etc on that rom? I might consider flashing that because this is unbearable
Ya, they fixed it in the update. They had the mic gain set way too high which resulted in clipping.
Since I had the HTC sensation I have the same, the mic is too sensitive.
I just have a stock sensation with stock updates, Z710e it says.
How can I solve this ? Anyone ?
Thanks !

Try to record movies in mono audio.
It will not solve the problem but quality is (much) better.
Is there anyway to get the SRS and Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound Profiles on an XE based ROM?
Beats audio is good, but i'd prefer to have the option between them all, & i think the dolby audio while watching videos sounds better.
I'm using Android Revolution HD 3.6.4 on a regular sensation
Same here also, im trying to find a thread that will enable the dolby/srs mobile on ARHD 3.6.2 rom.. Still cant find it..
This is availble for sense 3.5 based roms. I know that. But can't find it for 3.0.

How's your video recording on your phone friend, I tried mine today the video quality is ok but the audio is bad, I mean there's too much base on the audio that you could barely understand the people talking on the recorded video. I took the video inside my room no noise whatsoever.
Have you seen this thread or have you tried the mods they have here. Here is the thread link

Sounds like you have stereo record on as you are recording. Do you have mikes camera mod installed?
I particularly like mikes camera mod, it allows you to manipulate the bitrate for videos. If you don't have it you should get it
But try switching stereo record off in your settings and see if that works for you. If thy doesn't work try clearing data from the camcorder ap then reboot, test it out and let me know

Have you noticed how bad is audio in HTC One S? No, I'm not talking about equalizer or BeatAudio (with headphones) but how the sound is distorted, trashed, and often with micro-stutterings, for example with games like Pinball Arcade, or emulators like Mame4Droid etc.
With games you can often hear distortions, audio channels clipping on maximized sounds, little crackles and often micro-stuttering...
Max volume is also very low.
HTC has to improve the poor audio drivers for this phone, definitely...
Poor audio drivers and limited multitasking are the only defects of this sp IMHO.

You need a new phone.
HTC One S has been praised for its sound quality. No problems here. Also this phone is one of the best sounding music phones when paired with eq I have ever heard!

Gsmarena does a review on like every phone, in their review for the One S we had the best audio ever basically. No buzzing, crackling or anything.
Also, a lot of times its the games audio that's messed up because its not 100% compatible with our phones/ the game just sucks.

I've had similar problems with the sound but only when the headphone jack has some pressure on it or is being moved.

I agree with what everyone is saying on here. The one s audio quality is brilliant and is one of the reasons why I have it. U may need to try a new phone

I have to add in that at times I heard some slight static like noise when I have the phone to my ear during call. Very minor though.
For the most part though I use plantronics bluetooth head set.

I have the same sound problem. However the company doesn't want to change the HTC One S ):
I have problems with mine, as well. Almost during every call I get this small and annoying interruptions in headphone. Music sounds great, though. And no, my problem is unlikely to be connected to signal strength or radio as I`m always under fulls signal area and I`ve tried all the radios possible and got the same result.

The 1.11 and 1.11t radios eliminated the in call audio issues I was having so if you haven't checked the development thread in a while you may want to check out the new one:

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
