Is there a way to improve the sound quality during video recording on the Sensation?
When recording loud music in a club or a consert, the quality is realy bad.
I guess the microphone input level is to high.
Is there a working solution for this?

Goto HKCU/Software/Samsung/Camera
Find AudioNormalCodec
the options are:
0 - Default : GSM-AMR-NB 8000Hz 1ch (this is the default but has lots of high pitched noises in the background)
1 - MPEG4 AAC 16000Hz 1ch (this so far is the cleanest audio that I found you can get during video recording)
2 - Qualcomm QCELP 1000Hz 2ch (this is the MMS setting, not good at all for video recording)
I have found this solution, but i can't find "AudioNormalCodec" in my Omnia II...
if you can, pls let me know.

You know that you posted this in HTC Sensation forum? Can you tell me where can I find register on android device?
Hi.
Got the same problem, I tried to make a video during a gig and the sound was horrible, no way to fix that you think ?
Thx.
got the same problem sound qualityis okay but after playin in pc or phone i got some noises during playback zzz zzz sound
Just came back from a concert yesterday and am really dissapointed about the quality of the sound. picture is just amazing but my girlfriends Galaxy S had way better sound recording. anny progress in this?
I'd read in other thread that unchecking the stereo option in video camera settings the sound was better...

not so sure about that to be honest, recorded at a gig last night with latest revolution hd 4.1.4 rom and the sound was horrible
really would appreciate it if someone knows or could find a way to take the recording volume down a notch or two

Surely there must be an app or developer out there who knows how to fix this mess. Again, another event recording ruined. The htc sensation is fine for unamplified natural voices, but even speech or music at LOW volume is pingy, distorted and generally sux.
The Chic Corea concert I recorded was a total disaster. unticking stereo still not effective. Why does iphone make great recordings, but htc can't get it together? or is this an android issue in general? Don't get me wrong... love android and open source, but really... someone needs to nail this one. Is there any point in complaining to htc? ♥

Natural voices are ok, but this makes two concert video recordings ruined using my htc sensation. the sound is distorted pingy and beyond painful to listen to. Can't some brilliant developer create an app or fix for this? Is there any point complaining to htc, or are they too busy getting out their latest phone?
Sux that iphone video recordings. Natural voice and music is ok, but anything amplified, even at a moderate level, is ping-distortion city. and turning off stereo setting doesn't help much either. Thanks for the whine, now the cheese.
done some digging and i think, from what i read, android wasn't given a facility to lower recording volume. so i guess that plus a highly sensitive mic equals crappy sound recording with no fix, for the time being hopefully
I don't think it has to do with Android. I remember at some point on my Vibrant I was able to change the setting and got much better sound after. It may have been a DSP manager app I did it through or it could have been a setting when I was using CM7. Either way, I'm almost positive there is a way to adjust it.
sound quality
I have found a big improvement in sound quality by UN checking stereo sound in the video recorder setting menu.
+1 on this, I'd love to figure this out
I agree. This is one of the weakest points of the sensation. We have great video capture - but the sound can totally ruin the experience. If a Dev could figure this out it would be golden!
I am not sure about this, just a quick thought. But MAYBE the noise comes from the mics on the back of the sensation? Maybe HTC didn't thought about turning off the those mic's while recording.
Just a thought...
I believe the stereo recording uses the 2nd mic above the camera, while mono just uses the standard mic, that we make calls with. I did some tests just by covering the mic holes while recording.
I just think it would be great if we could have a DEV take a look at how to lower the mic gain.
There is a thread over in the HD2 forums, that deals with edits to some lib files for mic gain, but I don't know if that would be something to take a look at. Here is the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162224
We need this fixed!
I think the problem is that there is no normal codec for audio coding. Oddly Andoid revolution HD writes with a frequency of 44,100 Hz, but the quality is very poor, although an order of magnitude better than in HyperSensation. Unfortunaly, developer chamber is at the bottom, and understandably so - because enough other bugs.
Just wanted to check in on this old thread and see if this is all still in issue with the Sensation and the latest ICS Roms? Wondering if HTC has fixed the high mic gain by now?
Thanks
Hey there.
Since i bought my o3d, i noticed there is a small hole next to the power button so I searched and found out that it's a mic and its only used for stereo sound recording. I was wondering if there's a tweak out there which will make use of it as an active noise cancellation mic instead as this would be far more useful.
Thanks
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA
Actually that mic is for noise cancellation ,am not sure whether its using for stereo recording .But its mail purpose is noise cancellation . Now a days many smart phone have two mics.
Is any idea for enabling stereo sound recording from two sources (main mic & sub mic) at once?
LGCamera can enable but only one at once; sub mic (camcorder) or main mic (microphone) never both
This would be very COOL!
My current phone is a Moto G 2014. The stereo mic and speaker is a really nice thing. I know Motorola unfortunately changed the G 2015 to Mono output. Did this happen to mic too? This detail is really seldom mentioned in technical data.
If somebody just wants to test: To record stereo on the G 2014 you need some app that identifies a camcorder if I understood right. Most apps are not capable to record stereo. It works fine using the Titanium recorder when recording mp3. Or just use the internal camera and record a video.
Thank you in advance!
Moto G 2015 have 2 microphones, one in the bottom speaker hole and the other near the 3.5mm jack. This is for noise cancellation.

Thank you for the answer - this makes hope that stereo recording could be possible. Could someone test it please?
Start Titanium recorder recording mp3 or the default Motorola Camera recording video. Speak "Left" in the left speaker and "right" in the right. Connect headphones and replay the result, carefully listening if the sides can acoustically be recognized.
Thank you in advance!

Yes, i have tested and the app records in stereo, just enabling stereo recording in settings.
Anyone else have problems when recording a video with sound that there is a ticking sound? like there is some kind of static on the mic.
first i thought my mic was broken when hearing higher pitched sounds, but everything is normal using the recording tool or recording sound in for example whatsapp.
I have a brand new z flip 3. I noticed when I make a call or when I use the sound recorder, it has a problem in recording or there's static when recording high pitched or high volume voices. However, in normal tone speaking, it's okay. I also tried recording a video, it doesn't have the same problem and records voices perfectly. Also did the Samsung Members diagnostic to check my mics, no problem with the sound either. Any ideas? Has anybody experienced this?
