Recording video with external mic? - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
any of you have experience with video recording using external microphone? I am kinda satisfied with built-in mic but sometimes need to use external one. However, Mate 8 keep recording audio with built-in mic all the time.
I am using BOYA mic, which works the same way as Rhode Smartlav+ and I have no problems with it on iPhone and Sony Xperia devices. I just plug it in and video is recording using external mic. Huawei is different though.
Thanks for input

Same problem here with Mate 8

How can I force Honor 6X phone to record audio from external mic?

Hi all,
when I record or stream video, there is only captured sound from the phone internal mic, even though I plugged external microphone to the Jack - even in Cinema FV-5 app with manual audio source choice.
Connection itself is ok, I can use ext. mic to make calls and also record voice in voicerecording app.
I use Honor 6X, but this question is (without proper answer) on many Huawei/Honor forums.
Please, help to solve this.
All the best, Vaclav

Using an External Microphone with the Mate 9

Anyone have any luck using an external mic when recording audio or video?
Sure every headset mic works.
But I guess you mean external USB Audio recording.
Yes, I have tested this using my ZOOM H4 N. It's a bit tricky and needs an USB 2 Host Adapter, and a software which detects USB Audio Mics. For example "Field recorder" 8.2 does it. You need to adjust the sample rate.
Thanks

recording Stereo with pixel 2 usb c

Has anyone tried this? I'm just trying to record my set using usb c dongle and mini stereo out of rec out and it seems to only record in mono. Is this a software issue?
Or does anyone have a perfect solution to record stereo through a external sound card recommendation?
did you find any solution?

External microphone and audio bitrate?

So i found out here that the audio bitrate when recording a video is about 96kbps. But it is a old review. So my question is, has the audio bitrate increased after updates? Or is it still the same?
I also noticed that people recently had trouble using a external mic that they plug into the headphone jack. After one of the most recent updates the external mic would not work while recording a video. Does anyone have any comments on that? Since i am very interested in buying this device.
