Has anyone found a way to fix the damn audio when recording? i recorded a video next to a friend with an iphone and her audio sounds way better. The bass makes it sound terrible its muffled and distorted and hers sounds great. We both recorded a rock band from the same spot.
i would also like to know me and my friend were at a concert and he has a iphone, i was like YUHHH 1080p but with terrible audio, his audio sounded good.
Sorry to say that I believe that's the one area that the iPhone is suppior to the s3. The sound recording is something within the hardware of the phone and not something that is fixable...at least I haven't found a way yet. If anybody has a fix I would love it!

I know this may be a repeat, and if so i apologize. I tried searching the forums but there was nothing in relation to this issue specifically....
I went to a concert on New years with a buddy of mine (who has an iphone 4), and we both recorded videos. The video quality on the NS seemed to be better than the 'iPhone 4", however the nexus audio quality in the video recording was just horrendous. the iphone 4 played the exact same video with lower video quality, but crystal clear audio.
on the NS you could hear nothing but BASS levels. Can anybody explain to me:
1. Why this happens on the NS and not on the iphone4?
2. Can this be solved with using an external headset?
3. Will this be fixed in any patches (720p recording, etc) or is it a hardware issue?
I'll upload the two videos for you to compare.
Edit: I'll have to get the actual video file from the iphone, but this should give you enough of an example.

may have something to do with the software based noise cancellation
Wait, is the Nexus S not hardware based noise cancellation? Correct me if im wrong, but the nexus 1 had a second microphone just for this?
Unless this is patched, this might be a dealbreaker for me as I use my camera recording, and audio recording frequently.

yup NS only has one microphone, i believe it is because there are some new noise cancellation stuff in 2.3...that doesnt really work
unless we are dealing with the some audio auto gain, like the same problem found in the SGS phones
Thanks for the response guys, this might just be reason enough for me to go back to the N1 until the NS has better updates.
Is there a chance where we can improve/fix the audio of the video we are recording? I didn't spend 450$ on phone which has a good video but bad audio.
ur absolutlly wright,but seems that the new pomped product from htc,it has more bugs,that the bad video recording sound.yes u could eliminate that problem,as i read on this site,and others,by flashing a custom rom,that will some how eliminate the sound recording bug.ur not the only one...
There already have been almost 3 thread's about this...
Umm, mine seems great! Sensation has Stereo recording, it's meant to be great. How does your recording sound like? :\
Use mono recording instead of stereo... gives some improvement...
Yeah, got better a bit. But, still sounds so loud. I wish there is a fix for this.
Would the HTC Rezound's camera work on the Sensation? Below are 2 vids with no mic clipping, sounds pretty good from the Rezound.

I've been wondering how people's experience of the N5 audio aspect is, speaker wise and headphone wise. Would love to know feedback on this as to site chances in which I could enhance their audio aspects.
If anyone could answer the following queries I have I would gladly appreciate it.
- DSP tunneling (In regards to the 60 hr playback)
- Speakers are Stereo like the N7 2013 or Mono
- Audio codec being used (Preferably in the audio conf file under /system/etc/media_profiles.xml and mixer_paths.xml)
- List all the libs named audio in system/lib/hw
Thanks a million guys
Im pretty sure the audio is mono.

Yup the device output is mono and it's not very good either. The speaker falls weak of everything apart from Bass. It just feels to be lacking. I have used a G2 and the speaker is much louder and clearer, but the speaker on the G2 is only mono too which leads me to wonder whether the Nexus uses the exact same speaker as the G2 but the software on the Nexus limits it's output.
To me audio is quite a big thing, as ridiculous as it sounds I do sometimes play music out of my phone, and I also use YouTube out loud. I have noticed with the Nexus 5 is is sometimes hard to hear notification sounds, especially in the morning when I am on the bus for example. I know it's not just my device there are numerous reports about this around the web and do not confuse this issue with the tinny audio bug, this simply is the speaker quality.
In terms of headphone output, no complaints.

Sorry for the late reply but thanks for your input in this. Very helpful! I'll see what I can do. The idea being the dsp tunneling is what disturbs me the most. I'm tempted to order one to see about it.

I noticed whilst watching some YouTube videos, that the audio recorded from this device sounds really subpar. I noticed it on Mr Mobiles youtube video and the linked one. Sounds really hissy. 3m22sec marker .. this is just one example, all other videos with audio recorded sounded the same .

Yeah it's crap. I think it's software issue though. Something like enabled noise reduction while video recording.
I have a Pixel 1 and absolutely love the audio recording characteristics while video recording. I play drums, and this is the first phone that I can just aim at the drums and play loud or soft, and the playback is excellent. Not distorted, and also very little annoying sluggish or excessive changes in recording volume. Even the deep punchy b ass drum is felt as much as it is heard, and the high end of the cymbals is good. It has made great recordings of live music whether front row or far away. The phone needs to be replaced. Does anyone know of another affordable phone with similar audio recording characteristics? Thank you.
No need to reply at this point. I gambled, and picked up a Samsung Galaxy A51. The audio section seems better than that of the Pixel, and the phone overall is superior to the Pixel, too. $6.24/ month seems pretty good too. Glad I piscked it up.
