when trying to record a video, the audio is recorded with a very low volume, even more than that the camera is normal... It's so bad

Are you sure you are not occluding the little mic hole by holding the phone?

Yes, I'm sure, the holes of the microphones are normal and I'm not covering them, the other applications usually work the microphone, such as skype, whatsapp

Try to make a video with Google Camera to see if the culprit is the MotoCamera app.

I am trying to test the microphone on the GTab. I sideloaded fring and tried to make a test call. The microphone was all crackly. Not useable. Is there another app to try to test the mic? What I want to know is if it is the device or fring. I tried to get Yahoo Messenger with the Video app but I haven't been able to find the apk anywhere that is the current version.
how about the sound recorder that's included in the GAPPs file?

I was also going to suggest as the quickest check... or Rehersal Assistant from the Market if you want to really test sound quality better saving a raw uncompressed audio file for playback on tab or elsewhere...
Microphone Sucks
I purchased this in part to perhaps do video conferencing. I tried the sound recorder with the unit at arms length distance and tried to record my voice. It was so faint through the speakers with my normal speaking voice I could hardly tell that I had recorded anything. This is not a good sign. Even talking way loud (shooting), it was barely audible through the speakers with the volume at 100 percent. Now that may not be how someone would perceive it in a video chat application but I don't have high hopes.
Anyone else record anything through the microphone? Is there any other approach that would work (Bluetooth Headset)?
i have Talking Tom open at my desk while im at work because it entertains me when i yell at my employees
i notice no issues with volume or quality
I tested out the microphone in calls and I have to say it is pretty quiet and dull sounding.
Also in videos, everytime the mic turns on you hear a random noise besides the actual sound that is recorded.
Can anyone confirm that?

Yup. I can't speak for the phone call part of it, but I am having the same issue everyone on this page is having, regarding video recording sound...
I have oneplus one i opened it just out of curiosity and i broke(scrapped off) 3 diod from main chip-set placed just above mic flex cable connection slot. My mic stopped working. while recording video i get beep sound + my sound but while calling i only get beep sound. I dont think hardware repair is possible so i was wondering if there is any software way to make other mics as primary (any specific ROM that offers this or any other manual coding method)?

An edited XML file could work.. I'll try to find it, there are threads discussing similar topics, but haven't seen this exact scenario..

I'm looking at my theory.. The threads are in conjunction to low mic volume, but if you alter the path, you may be able to change the input source..
I'm thinking to make the speaker mic the new main mic..
This is mixer_paths.XML in /system /ect

So what we need to do is
- deactivate main mic
- take input from other mic
- make it primary
any other point i am missing?

Make a backup of everything you can from your SD, use Helium app to backup some apps and SMS Backup &Restore for calls and SMS..

My phone isn't broken, so I can't say as to which mic is working instead of another.. Don't worry though, you won't brick your phone by rooting, nor this mod..

I am not worried about rooting but about mic stuff :fingers-crossed:

You can always rub your finger over the mic. If the noise is low, it`s not that mic that is being used.

How did the script run???
I have the same exact problem. My HTC One main mic has been damaged, whenever Im on call the other end only gets the static noise but can hear clearly in loudspeaker mode (ie from my secondary mic), is there a way to disable the primary mic and make the secondary mic as primary ??
Hello,
trying the video camera with third party apps, i noticed this weird squeak sound while autofocusing
clip here: youtu.be/bNSNSiVkiQg
with the native camera app i don't have this problem, but the stereo sound is inverted! even weirder: it does this from the second video i record after i reboot the phone. the first one is fine, then they all have audio inverted right<->left
any advice? (other than factory reset)
can you please test if you have the same issue? if it is, it mean it is a problem of the device itself and should be noted to huawei.
it's easy checking the left/right channel simply by blowing on the sides of the phone (lower mic is right, upper mic is left) with the audio recorder app it works always fine. with video, you need to make at least 2 of them because the problem comes from the second one. at least for me...
thanks

thanks! have you tested with the video app or with the audio recording app? if with video it's like this and with the audio recorder it's bottom/right; upper/left. i'm not the only one.
edit. also, turning the phone while recording (bottom to the right or to the left in portrait mode), it's always swapped. when bottom is to the right, audio of that side is on the left, and vice versa

if the third party camera app audio issue is confirmed too, we may confirm another "fature"... :/
i did the video with google camera (but also tried cinema fv-5) and the auto focusing noise it there, not always, but most of the time. expecially when it struggles focusing.
anyone willing to try? this is not as easy to reproduce, but definitely there.
hi all,
testing again, I noticed that the noise is most likely mechanical. it is possible to ear it in a silent environment while switching from camera to video with the stock camera app.
here's a recording of it
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzRd4ezyPZACZXY4WkoyREFESnM/view?usp=drivesdk
it's the same of the video in the opening post youtu.be/bNSNSiVkiQg
can you guys check if it's a common problem? the customer service just keep saying to factory reset, but that does nothing... (also cleaned camera app cache many times)
thanks

Did you ever solve this, or is it purely hardware? I noticed a horrible squeak on PA Rom and on 3rd party cameras on stock.
It's hardware, cannot solve this
Hi
i have the mic issue . (microphone failure)
is there any way that i can force the device to use the headset mic
for example if i want to record my voice or use the camera app to shot video an error massage come up.
so i need to force the device to use my headphone mic not the device mic to avoid this problem

For recording your voice, yes. Use a third party app like Parrot that lets you choose a mic. Some video apps probably do the same.
