[Q] Sound recording quality ? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody, I just wanted to know if the mic sensibility problems of the SGS have been fixed with the SGS 2 ?(In particular THIS problem :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=721069)
Can you record loud music (concerts, etc) ?
And if you make a video, how is the sound (I've read it's only 22Khz...) in a loud environment ? Has someone tried to film a concert ?

No go on any fix here. The sound of the vids I made at concerts where terrible. Check YouTube and search for the channel Fuzzemz (can't share links since it's my first post...). The HD movies are recorded with my SG2.
I'm still searching the net for a solution....

BUMP! Is there any fix for that?

[Q] recording video without sound

Hello all,
I have a problem with my new SGS2 and could not find anywhere a solution for this. When I record a video there is no sound recorded also, only the image... In the camera application there is no option for enable/disable this feature like in the SGS1. Anyone had a similar problem?
Thanks.
You meant that there is no option to record a Video without Audio right? If it is then I'd also like to know the same.
Regards.
Very strange request that but a valid question nonetheless (not that id be recording a video without sound)
No!!! I don't want to record videos without sound... who would want this? My SGS2 does NOT RECORD VIDEOS WITH SOUND!!! I mention that when I use an application to record only voice it works, so it's not the microphone...
Oh! For me it's exactly the opposite. I sometimes will like to record a Video without Audio. But I just can't find an option to do that. It always records Audio with a video
nobody had this problem?
very faint audio when recording video
I have a Galaxy S2 purchased for Bell, rooted with KG2 kernel, and unlocked for Rogers. When I record video using the stock Camera app, the sound is *very* faint. The mic works fine when making a call or when recording audio with an app like Voice Recorder. I didn't try making a video before rooting, so I don't know if that is related. I tried lgCamera and had the same problem.
Any suggestions for what could be wrong?

[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 Ålesund.
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.

[Q] Whatsapp voice message problem

Hello guys, not sure if this is happening to everyone, on my SK17i, with stock GB .62 rom Whatsapp seems to record audio TOO DISTORTED, my voice gets recorded to badly that people doesn't even hear what i'm speaking about... (Comes out VERY loud)
Sometimes i have to put my phone very far away from me, and not having ANY type or environment sound or gets distorted right away.
I don't believe it's a Hardware problem since Facebook audio works good, calls also works good, and in .587 ICS WA recorded on good quality...
If someone has this bug or knows how to fix it would be awesome...

Nope, sent a ticket to WA Support, the only thing i've found is that on ICS the audio got recorded on .AAC, MONO, 22.05KHZ, while on GB rom the audio's are on .AMR, MONO, 16KHZ/14BITS, some friends cellphones record the audio on .M4A (AAC Codec), Stereo, 22.05KHZ, so basicly they did something that changed the AAC codec intro AMR records...

Too sensitive microphone during recording videos

I have a problem that when I'm recording movies, the audio quality is very bad. This mainly applies to recording movies in noisy places, for example in clubs. Instead of music, you can hear only buzzing, clattering and cracking. I think that reducing the sensitivity of the microphone during recording would solve this problem. Unfortunately, I could not find the right guide on how to do it on the internet. Literally all tutorials either do not work or show how to change the microphone's sensitivity only when calling. I tried to modify DEC1 and DEC2 values ​​in literally all files whose name starts with "mixer_paths ...". It also did not help. I would like to add that the quality of sound on movies recorded with other phones in the same places is as it should be, the music is clearly heard without any disturbance.
Phone - Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon)
ROM - Android 6.0.1 MIUI 10.2 (Dev 8.11.22)
Thanks in advance for replies.
