Enable external mic in video recording in Honor 6X

With a decent camera on the Honor 6X, wanted to create some 1080p videos for YouTube. The problem that I faced was that, even with all the appropriate converters from TRRS to TRS mic and speaker splitter, I could not make the stock camera app or the reputed third party apps like open camera and Camera FV5 to start recording from the external mic . Even with the right choice selected on the third party apps, it just records from the built-in mic.
Is there any way to force the app to recognise the external mic. To note the external mic works fine with voice calling, but not with video recording.

Open camera is the app you can try.

Microphone issues

Guys, I'm having a problem with my phone's microphone. When I record video with the rear camera I can capture the sound. However, if I record with the selfie camera there is no sound. I can not record audios in Whatsapp but for links it works fine. Would anyone help me with how to proceed? I'm on OXygenOS 9.5.9 GM21AA on GM1917 device

I know that's a lot of time, but...have you solved this problem?

mic problem ?

I have problem with op6 microphone . It uses the wrong microphone in apps such as snapchat and whatsapp .
I get no sound when I'm recording video with front camera ,Snapchat front camera , WhatsApp voice notes and Facebook live .
But microphone works well when I am using gcam front camera , WhatsApp gold , voice calls and the recorder app.

Unfortunatly it's been an issue from the beginning and OnePlus never cared to fix that. I had the same problem with my op6 and was really frustrating as on whatsapp I was the only one having horrible audio quality when I had to send audio messages. The only fix so far is installing a custom rom (aosp based) that is not Oxygen OS, since it only happens in the stock rom.

You are right the issue is with the oos and aosp fixs that.. but the camera image quality is very poor on snapchat in aosp based roms..

No audio recording when selfie cam is activated

Hey there,
I have an OnePlus 8, IN21BA with stock firmware 11.0.2.2., rooted with magisk.
I ran into a strange problem:
When I record video with the selfie cam no audio is recorded. This is true for
- stock camera app
- snapchat
- Google cam port.
It strangely works for
- every messenger with videochat capabilities (WhatsApp, Threema, Telegram)
- recording selfie video with instagram
So it is not a hardware problem.
I checked all the permissions. The only thing which is recorded is a short crack noise at the beginning of the recording. The rest is silent.
And yes, I turned up all the volumes and installed Snapchat new.
This is really very annoying. Does anyone have this issue too? Who can help me?
Help is much appreciated!

Update: Also with a connected headset no audio is recorded although I don't have any problems with phone calls with a headset

Question One-sided sound when listening to the camera recording with headphones.

When I record a video from the camera application, when I listen to the video with headphones, the sound is one-sided. I can only hear sounds from right side. I tried watch youtube videos etc. but they are NOT one sided. Only the videos that i record with my phone has this issue. What should i do?
(Xiaomi 12 - miu 13 - regular camera app - regular eu rom)
edit: i also tried whatsapp camera, still has the same problem
