weird problems with camera apps.

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

thanks a lot!
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

settings for the screen recorder? mute mic? video quality?

First day with the Mate 9 and I'm loving the ability to record videos of the screen quickly and easily using the double knuckle tap or the volume up and power combo. But I don't want the mic on while recording. If I deny access to the microphone, it seems the recording won't even start. I found the app settings and can disable the microphone there, but again that prevents the recorder from starting. I don't need to hear the sound of my own breathing over my screen recordings. I would think there must be a way to setup some settings for the recordings, like enabling audio, changing the recording quality or encoding, etc. No? Am I missing something? Any workaround?

Me too. Worse, I keep getting a pop up throughout the recording telling me that Google can't listen while I'm recording.
Any solutions?

I think there's a setting in Google to turn off listening at all screens all the time. The message will go away. As for recording your own breathing - you can postprocess it in any video editor and just delete the sound track?

Thanks. I was afraid that the only way to prevent the pop up was complete disabling of the OK Google recognition.
I suppose I'll have to get a video editor...

I remember having that popup too, but it didn't always happen. I remember someone saying that there are too many apps "listening" which causes google to throw that pop-up. There's a huawei feature that listens for phone call instructions, plus the listener for "OK Google", plus the recorder using the mic all at the same time. I guess disable the ones you don't use until the popup stops.
As for the audio, I couldn't find a workaround. I wound up using an app called "Replace Add Audio to Video" by Clogica to strip audio from my videos after I record them. Needless to say having to strip audio for every video recorded is a hassle, which results in me not using the recording feature very much.

Yes, it's a pity that the system app, screen recorder, has not any setting option to disable mic.

Anyone help me ? Got a honor 9 and everytime I try to use the screen recorder it says I need to enable it withing my permission for microphone. I have enabled it yet it's still telling me I need to do so. I've restated it and can't get it to work plz help!

I had the same issue just today on my huawei p10. But solved it through the following:
Settings->Apps & notifications - >Permissions - >microphone->show system(top right corner) - > search for screen recording->enable
Hope this helps

Thanks. It works :good:

On EMUI 9, you're given an option to disable the microphone.

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?

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

camera app not working after oos 12 update

So, camera app not working properly after oos 12 update. Video recording is working but not the camera. Anybody else have this issue?

no. but since upgraded to 12 recording a video has a strong microphone limiter enabled. louder parts of audio is pushed down below a threshold that's valued too low in my opinion...
try to delete data of the camera app and all related apps may be a solution.
