Question S22 Ultra - Horrible audio capture on recording - Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

Hello . I have a problem with my galaxy s22 ultra Snapdragon , the videos I record at rave or shows that have a very strong sound The recording comes out with the horrible sound, totally blown up.
While cell phones( S10+ and S21 Ultra) of friends who recorded videos at the same party, the sound is perfect. I would like to know if this problem is on my cell phone or is the microphone of the s22 ultra that is really bad?
Anyone who has made videos in strong sound like a show? noticed the same problem?
I put a video on youtube that I recorded, all the videos had the same audio.

It's clipping like hell... the mic gain is way too high or the mics themselves can't physically handle that decibel level.
I don't know... I wouldn't expect my N10+ to do much better in the same conditions. Never tested it though.

It's not just the audio, the video is juddery AF!

Cam shake, multiple high contrast targets... normal. An AF lock can avoid that.

Not what I'd consider normal but then again my S21 Ultra is pretty bad in a hailstorm. 13 Pro Max kills it!

This is a well known issue already being discussed in a thread here. I'm assuming it's software related since my U.S t-mobile snapdragon S22 Ultra doesn't exhibit this. Hopefully Samsung will address it in an update in the near future.

sound quality of microphones when recording audio

Hi how good is the microphones in the mate 9 do they compare to the v20 or HTC 10?
I recorded via WhatsApp today for 5 minutes, while driving. Phone was on my lap. The pickup was fantastic and even though you can hear the road noise in the background, the vocals were clear and natural.
My HTC One Mate 8 was also pretty good, and that's the only phone of recent memory that I can compare to.
Anyone noticed when video recording in complete silence, there are weird noises? like a buzz or hiss.. weird.. wonder what it is. Its not a big enough problem to affect my OCD though.

Yep. Like a sort of crackling/hissing. Doesn't seem to occur when recording audio only, so I'm thinking it's something in the camera module, like the autofocus or OIS motors.

High AOP Mic Test?

Apparently the Galaxy S8/8+ will feature a "High AOP Mic that minimizes distortion in noisy environments." (AOP=Acoustic Overload Point). Has anyone seen any videos testing recording in extremely loud environments such as a concert? I've owned the Galaxy S3 and S5 (both were terrible in noisy situations) before switching to the Moto X Pure(which is still pretty bad). Thinking about switching back for the S8 but seems recording in loud areas has not improved much from the S5 to the S7. Curious to know if Sammy has finally squashed the problem since iPhone have always been able to record in loud places and other newer phones like the LG V20 uses 3 AOP mics.
There is a video test on here that happens to be done at a concert.

Thanks for the link. Wish person taking the video was closer so I could get a better idea or if they would have taken a video with the S7 to compare it to but oh well. Not being to record at a concert isn't a deal breaker for me it just sucks when other people can record with an iPhone and it sounds perfect and when I've done it on all my other phones it sounds like crap.
now that the phone has been out does anyone have any videos from concerts this past weekend? Hows the video recorder

let me know if you find something else, this capability is important for me and once it's resolved on S8 i will defiantly buy one.

Galaxy s10e camera diaphragm noise

Anyone owning s10e. Do you have such thing that camera diaphragm is being closed and reopened on every camera mode switch? In quiet room it sounds at least strange.
Is the sound troubling to you? Is it affecting image quality?
My s8 and s9 did it, so it seems like its normal.

Only sound. First time having Samsung + a phone with OIS and variable diaphragm. Thought it's a hardware issue.
+ I've already submitted a but about camera closing and reopening diaphragm on photo mode switch. It's definitely looks like a bug. No need to close it and reopen. But I guess one UI will be bugged for a while same as s10e line will be somewhat bugged and patched a lot.

Just received my S10+ today, so I have the same confusion as OP since it's my first Samsung phone. Does the diaphragm change even for switching from photo to video? This seems quite unnecessary given no change in light condition and can eventually cause wear and tear.
The only time it didn't change was when I switched from Slow Motion to Super Slow-Mo.
Hey I have the same 'problem' on my S10+ and wondering if it's normal or an issue... It does a click sounds when changing camera modes
If it's not affecting the quality of my videos or photos I wouldn't worry about it. Longevity of the mechanics of the part is something to keep in mind but I can't see it as something that would wear out before the warranty expires.
Update: I went to test the devices at my nearby retail stores.
All of the S10 devices have the same clicking sounds. The Note 9 was silent, while the S9 was barely audible.
I guess they just didn't dampen the sound as much or something to that effect.

OH, so you have real s10 phones in your local stores? Because in Ukraine official Samsung store guys actually told me that presented devices look like original BUT inside CPU is different, camera is somewhat the same (WTF does it mean O_O) and the only thing that matches real devices there is screen. So I couldn't actually reproduce that noise at store and the only thing that calmed me down was that other owners of S10 confirmed ticking noise.
Its normal. My P20 Pro rattles until I open the camera app, then the OIS kicks in and holds the lens still. Similar sort of thing, the phone isn't going to hold the camera active when not in use, wastes power.
Pubg lag
Guys does pubg stutters on ur s10.
Similar sound was experienced on my s7. S10 does the plus many other phones like nokia 1020 used to make similar noise. I don't think its a problem.
Sent from my Samsung SM-G973F using XDA Labs
Yes its the variable aperture switching between f 1.5 and 2.2. Its definitely louder on the S10. I have the S10+ and S10e and on both it's quite noticeable when opening the camera and switching modes. Does this on the google pixel camera port as well.
Guys this is NORMAL. The Galaxy S9+ did this, too, with its dual aperture.
It changes when opening some apps -- if it isn't supposed to always do it that often then Samsung can adjust it with a software update.
Ever used a real camera? They are much louder than this when changing.
My s9+ did not do this unless it switched aperture. Never when I opened the camera. My s10e does it every time camera is opened like it switches apertures every time.

Question Horrible Mic quality S22 Ultra at club

So I used to have the samsung A71. And I go to Techno gigs alot and sometimes record a song I like to ID later. The sound quality was very good and bass did not get distorted alot, even when close to the speakers/subs. So I thought it would be the same on my S22 ultra but yesterday I went to a club and the sound is just horrible.. On a phone that costs 3x the amount. The sound is just distorted and bad.
But weirdly enough my instagram story is not distorted (filmed with the instagram camera) Anyone know why this could be?
EDIT: Proof and video reference.

Hey sorry, i've edited the post with links to the video's
Thanks, yes crazy bad, if it's confirmed, no finger above one of the mics ? Even on Instagram it's not really good, you have Snapdragon or Exynos ?
I've got multiple video's so no finger on the microphone. I use the Spigen Thin fit case.
I live in Belgium so I got Exynos. Model number is SM-S908B/DS
In 2 weeks i'll go to the same club again. I'll try some 3rd party camera apps like Open camera and Gcam.
Honestly in the first video the sound started to open up and get better at the 10 second mark right before the video ends. Maybe it was just a matter of where you were positioned at..

No sounds like the music stop the bass and it became better. Probably the fingers according to me, well I hope so.

That's just when the bass stopped, there's speakers left, right and in front of me, so either where I aim the camera the sound will always be the same
5 more video's of yesterday, I think it may be software related, cuz the instagram one isnt half that bad. with the same microphones

Try to use a sound recorder app and see if it will make any difference.

Good idea, i'll try that
Yup, I believe you. It's pretty bad.... Especially when the bass hits it becomes very distorted..
You're holding it wrong!
Seriously, stop recording video holding the phone vertically!
Ugh!
Turn off audio zoom.

I don't think keeping my phone horizontally will have effect on the microphone quality.
And if you mean 'zoom in mic' I disabled this

No it doesn't affect mic quality but it makes videos unwatchable to most!
On a serious note to address overloading audio or AGC on very loud inputs this is bad as I haven't seen this for many generations of Samsung devices!
Try Pro Mode (video) where you have control over audio inputs, for example.

I understand but these video's are usually only for instagram (so has to be vertical) or to find a track ID so doesnt matter how it looks, only how it sound haha
I usually film horizontal when I want to show it
Like this: https://photos.app.goo.gl/H7eCkgJL6vrnFBQG9
FYI these video's above are filmed with Oneplus 7 pro. and the quality is pretty okay. Might return to oneplus if that's still the case.
And for the pro mode, i'll add it to the list of things to try in 2 weeks. Thanks
So guys, I'm getting horrible mic quality under water.

Don't mind, he has probably never went out, concert or clubbing.

General inconsistent fps during video calls.

i have noticed some seriously low and distracting frames per second during video calls. When it begins to behave very choppy all i have to do is hit the software flip button or something to refresh camera. Once i do that then the fps will revert back to a more smooth 30fps or 60fps. but only for a for a few seconds then it reverts to the unbearable 15-20 fps video calls. I can replicate this issue across all video calling apps on the galaxy s22 ultra. my s21 has had this same exact bug since launch and samsung continues to ignore this. I dont understand how they could let this bug now come on to the s22 ultra as well. Ive gotten multiple s21 ultras replaced for this reason thinking i had a defective device but no its just samsung being extremely ghetto with software quality control. Cmon Samsung please optimize your stuff. I have to use a ipad from 2018 just to have a smooth video call and i think thats pretty rediculous.
