Odd Sound issue When watching movies - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So when I'm watching movies (I think only movies with AC3 sound) and I'm wearing headphones, the spoken dialog is sooooooooooooooooooooo low to the point that you can barely hear it, so when I go into the sound settings and change the balance to +16 (From 0), it becomes much better but I can only hear the dialog from out of one ear now. Anyone experience this?
Thanks guys!

They should allow control over the down-mix matrix being used. Maybe if enough people email support requesting this they will add it?

*audio recording clicks/pops*

The speed of the internal storage? Like what equivalent to classes for sd it would be?

nov 12: edited the title since this turned more into a discussion about the audio pops and clicks from the VIDEO CAMERA and VOICE RECORDING apps....may be a codec problem!? EVERYONE has this; let's bring it to HTC's attention! i currently have an open ticket iwth the escalations department to which he called me, and i sent him the links to my youtube showing all of the clicking noises in every video marked HTC Rezound:

let's bring this to their attention!!
Use Antutu or another bench, they tell you R/W speeds. About the only thing they are good for, lol.
sweet thanks...yeah i wondered what the speed is for that..figured maybe making videos on a faster speed may get rid of those pops and clicks..however i just did, and it didn't do **** lol
I haven't recorded any videos on my Rezound yet, still, lol.
I did a few more guitar videos today.. Same clicks and pops. Meh

Is it while focusing or zooming? Or is it just the sound is too loud entering the device?
Might be when sound is too loud. I don't notice any focusing going on but that's a damn good idea. I think we can turn auto focus off in video too. It's like a digital blip noise so i don't know what exactly it is
It also did it with an acoustic, which isn't loud at all.... So i think it does it irregardless of sound

I recorded a quick video of my puppies play fighting in my livingroom. The only "noise" I hear is my phone vibrating and the notification of Kenny Powers "Dollar Dollar Bills Ya'll" when I get a text mid video! I am pleasantly surprised by this though! My X2 would stop recording if I got a message of any kind. I like that this records right through it, so you can just put it on silent and record away!
hmm...yeah, here's the noise i hear:

very noticeable here; did this yest
I hear it... weird man. My phone doesn't ever do that, that I know of. I got a friend who can play about as well as you. I will see if he will let me record a clip to compare. Hopefully it is only hardware on your end.
hopefully its NOT hardware! hahaha i don't, wanna replace this thing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4aTQctjEm8&feature=youtu.be
there's the dog playing in the yard..it seems to be a noise that only occurs when clipping happens....but it takes little to NOTHING to clip the audio..i bet it's a noise cancellation issue
Well, if it is hardware then it is good because it isn't wide spread.

Do me a favor, play some loud music on a stereo and see if it does the same thing, that way I can try to re-create your problem on my end with the same method.
I just did a test of this, and mine makes audible clicking sounds whenever the camera is refocusing. You can test it on your device by getting a contrasting shot (use mine as an example) and then tapping the screen between the two points to make it refocus on the point you select.
http://youtu.be/gjmqDC9MLYc
sometimes when it refocuses, it doesn't make a noise at all (ideal). So maybe it's some software params making the lense try and adjust further than it can, or it might just be a camera problem..
eitherway, i don't take videos very often, so won't worry me too much.
That sign in the back gave me my laugh for the day!
that sign rocks hahahaha
but those aren't the same clicks i'm getting. i shall test with loud music playing and by pressing to auto focus...
CAN WE turn off auto focus on video? i know we can on pics, but howbout vidoe?

notice at 1:01 when i goto the subwoofer you can hear the squink noise destinctly..i wonder if low freqs are what make it squink?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Those clicks when the video starts while it's trying to focus on your laptop screen are the same as mine too.
I can't help but think the pop I hear at 1:01 is the exact same sound too...
Best test for the audio would be to lay the camera face down or something and hit record, and see what it gets.
Edit: on second thought, I think i'm hearing both types of clicks.
I wonder if the regular voice recorder has this problem too?
Edit2: sure does... i have a steady pattern of clicks on my voice recordings when recording my piano. they're like every ~2.5 seconds... and very predictable. especially on some of the youtube links posted earlier..

Maybe it's just a codec problem?
When i record as AAC_LC in the voice recorder I hear the digital blips.... not so much with AMR, but it's a less quality codec I think.
Edit 3: OP you should change the title of the thread so other forum members drill into it, i'm sure there's someone who knows what might be going on better than I do.
But from my vantage it sounds like a codec error. Hopefully resolved by an HTC update, or a future fix when we get perm root.
The video clicks during focusing I've researched a bit, and it may be related to how the software handles the camera functions, and could also be resolved with some updates... fingers crossed.
nice, good call. updated the title!
I have been unable to really root out the issue here with the camera lense making that noise as it tries to refocus... I'm assuming it's software controllable so some parameter in there somewhere would fix it. Guess we'll have to wait for root and a custom Rom!
anyway, I've tried some different camera apps, messing with the autofocus to see if it makes a difference, and they still all seem to make the auto-focus noise. I haven't found any market apps that do video recording however. Does anyone know of any?
I'll dig in the SDK a bit, but I bet the autofocus fuction is part of the ROM and not the software using the camera. In which case, different software won't make a difference. Just sounds like the lense is over-reacting while recording a video, causing the clicks in the video recording.
As for the blips, I'm definitely convinced it's a codec issue, since it also happens in the voice recorder which (I'm assuming) might be use the same codec as the built in video recorder app for the audio.
Case still open for now...
man, i'm having a hard time finding an app that does video, too. i downloaded the MIUI camera APK i found on here somewhere, but the video recording was like 1fps lol it was terrible, so i didn't even bother.

Garbled swirling noise in Video/Audio recordings. Sound like bad compression

I read about the click/pop noise but I dont know if this is related. Mostly the audio track within the video recordings is quite good. But this weird noise I didnt hear really until Im recording whule my car is running. My cars exhaust isnt real loud but it does have more noise and bass than average.... Along with the engine pullies/powet ateering noise. But, what this plays back sounds all swishy and garbled... It sounds like extreme audio compression .. weird electronic noise.. like it totally deforms the sound of the engine. Idk what could be causing this. I also get this noise while recording in voice recorder usibg the AAC LC mode. Sometimes I will heR weird knock sounds ... That I KNOW my car did not make.
I just got this phone a couple weeks vack and I absolutely love it, coming from a Touch Pro 2 with a bad mic... This is the only thing that bugs me because it craps up the audio .. I have an audio sample that you can hear.. Just dont know where to put it.
Thanks in advance..
it encodes audio at 128kbps which is absolute garbage.. that's probably why

Look in the thread "audio recording click/pop". I posted a video in there.
Mods, can you delete this thread? Read what I wrote in the other thread for the reason. Sorry about that.... It was in another forum that I read about the pop/clik issue. Got them confused. Haven't been here in a long while

[Q] Audio volume while video recording

Hey.
Yesterday i was on this 'We love the 90's' live arrangement where Scooter, Culture Beat, Haddaway, Captain Jack, Dr Bombay and Daze was doing a live arrangement here i live in Ă…lesund.
Now, the video recording was in good quality for the most part, so i have nothing to say about that.
But what my question is, is if it's possible to lower the input volume of the microphone(s) on the Galaxy S II?
I'm using Android 4.0.3 though. Or i'm using SensatioN ROM v3.4, but it's a Samsung ROM anyways.
When the sound / noise gets a little high, the sound starts to cracks quite alot. And that will ofc make it bad to record a live arrangement.
I know we can change / edit the values to the bitrate on the recorded movies and the audio quality to in the 'media_profiles.xml' file that are under System/etc.
Shouldn't it be possible to reduce the input volume to the microphone to then?
Or isn't it any ways of doing this?
I also hope that i posted this on the right place.
Greetings from Tom-Helge.
EDIT: I was using LgCameraPro to record the movies and was setting it to record in mono because the sound would crack WAAAAY more if i had been recording the sound in Stereo.
EDIT 2: I'm uploading a little clip from the live arrangement to let you see what i'm talking about.
It's done in about 20 minutes.
EDIT 3: Here is the little video clip.
Bump before i'm off to work.
Anyone have any idea about this?
I had the same problem too ^^
same problem here, but it seems a known issue of s2
Still no ideas on this problem?
Think i have to give this topic a little bump again.

Audio Equalizer ?

Not sure if this is the right forum and I don't know which one is for this question.
I'm looking for an app that will limit all audio to a certain level.
I think there is a name for this concept in how TVs handel loud commercials, but I don't know what it is.
So I'll be switching between apps like music and instagram and while my music is at a good audio level, instagram will immediately bow my ears out. Is there a way to make all audio coming from my phone not go above a certain level... as well as keep the low levels up to a defined low level so some aren't too low? Hope you can understand what I'm asking.
Thanks for any help!

Bluetooth earphones, horrible quality for calls and ONLY calls

Hi I've been a Oneplus 7 pro user for half a year now. My phone seems to have 2 separate audio profiles for general media, and calls. For general media the audio quality is great on bluetooth. However when it switches to calls, app calls, wechat video chats and what have you, I get a very muffled audio quality. It's truly atrocious.
I'd say that I have gotten used to it by now, but a few weeks ago I had regular youtube playing, and a friends voice message playing at once. It must've somehow messed wwith the profiles because I was able to hear the voice message crystal clear, through the media audio profile.
This got me thinking that I could probably route call audios as a media output but I cannot figure out how. I tried changing codecs and everything on the developer options but to no avail. They all switch back to the default options as soon as I change them. There also aren't any options I can try on the bluetooth settings.
I'd be grateful if anyone can shed some light on this topic for me. Google search didn't yield anything helpful and this id my last resort. I'd appreciate any input. Thanks!
