Hi gentlemen
need help to configure my sound recorder
when I use it record a music in an party or even my voice, it records with bad quality (using whatsapp for eg)
then, I installed tape a talk
with this, I can set sound quality in kbps and sound sample 44khz, 22khz, 16khz, 8khz
when selecting 44khz and 192kbps, the sound recorded with tape a talk is perfect!
so, there must be a file to configure sound quality for sound recorder (this is the app that whatsapp uses)
does anybody knows where is it? Im using adb to navigate in the shell

Hey,
Yesterday I received my Galaxy 2. Now I'm involved in some testing and I noticed that while recording a movie no sound is recorded. The voice recorders etc does also not work. I have read that the microphone for using handsfree is also used for recording a movie and it just works (I have test handsfree). Does anyone know if there's a setting or something, that the mic. is muted?
I am having an issue with sound quality out of Acer Iconia A501 tab with Honeycomb 3.2 installed (ROM Harkon 1.0, KERNEL HoneyVillian 3.7). Unfortunately I didn't test it with the stock ROM.
The problem: voice sound in video/voice chat software (Skype, CSipSimple etc.) is of very poor quality (very low volume and very high amount of background noise, as if i'm talking from a closet). The same is true for various voice recording apps.
The only exception so far is TapeMachine.
If I use a _wired_ mobile phone headset AND record using TapeMachine with AutoGain turned off and Input gain set to +20dB, the voice recording is of very good quality, clear and loud. But with the same headset the sound through Skype Echo Test Service is awful. A strange and a very disappointing thing is that with a built-in mic the same TapeMachine settings do not produce any change in voice quality - it was still awful.
Sound Meter reports my background sound (with the headset) at 40dB when silent and 65-70dB when talking.
My understanding of the issue is that starting with API Level 11 (Honeycomb 3.0) voice/video chat software uses android.media.MediaRecorder.AudioSource.VOICE_COMMUNICATION audio source, which is a "Microphone audio source tuned for voice communications such as VoIP. It will for instance take advantage of echo cancellation or automatic gain control if available. It otherwise behaves like DEFAULT if no voice processing is applied."
And it seems like it's not working very well.
My question is: could somebody, please, develop a hack that would allow tweaking of system wide echo cancellation and automatic gain control settings if that's at all possible?
Or is there any other solution?
Thank you!
When recording a song yesterday, my song ideas came out choppy.I was recording strictly wav audio and It almost sounded like there was a noise gate on the phone. After a while of digging through options, I found an option in Call settings> Additional Settings > noise reduction. When this option is selected, the phone turns on a noise gate that makes audio recordings sound terrible; However, when this option is turned off, Audio recordings sound great!! Unfortunately, this doesn't affect the audio quality when recording video, because most wav audio programs only use one microphone. So, I'm wondering....Seeing as how this phone records camcorder audio in stereo( one mic at the top and one at the bottom ), is it possible that these microphones are out of phase and thats why there is no bass in video recording? I'm assuming that the polarity on the top microphone is reversed to eliminate background noise during calls. Also, maybe there is a camcorder program where you can select which microphone to use. When I connected my Galaxy headphones( with the included Mic) the audio was redirected from the the two microphone to the headset microphone. Im thinking of making a TRRS to TRS adapter, which will connect only the microphone and see if that resolves the issue. I understand that I could just add an equalizer to the audio from video in iMovie, but I really enjoy experimenting with this problem. Furthermore, has anybody tried making an XLR to TRRS cable? I used one on my Samsung Vibrant years ago and it sounded great! any suggestions would be great!!! (To get to call settings, you have to click on the phone app, then left button to access)
When I reviewed some recorded calls the other party is always higher in volume and you can barely hear me. Is there a program I can use to make the whole recording equal or at least raise the volume in the parts with my voice only I don't want to amplify the whole file I'm assuming an equalizer but I don't know anyone have experience with need something easy to navigate if possible
Thanks!
i can't seem to record audio through the camcorder microphone using any audio recording apps (i've tried easy voice recorder, recforge and field recorder) though the sound is fine through that microphone when i record video using the camera.
when i use an audio recording app, the sound through that microphone is just garbled, glitchy mess. i get the same results whether i record in stereo or mono, and in both stock rom and custom roms.
i used to use my old i5800 as a sampler all the time using easy voice recorder, and never had problems.
