Hello,
Recently got my hands on a secondhand SGS2 and it seemed to work perfectly, except for the following;
There is no audio when recording a video or using the memorecorder! The mic seems to work fine since I have no problems with calling people, they can hear me just fine.
This was all with the stock ROM (4.1.2), so I thought it might be a software problem, rooted the phone and installed CM10.1. Still the same problem! So I went back to the stock ROM and while playing with the FM radio I noticed that when I press the record button in the FM radio there is no audio in the recorded file either!? I also tried playing the files back on my PC.
So to me, it seems like it's an encoder problem (is that even possible?).
I've also installed an app called igCamera to tried and change the mic options / encoding but that didn't make a difference either.
Any ideas on where to go from here? Anything else I can test?
Thanks!

I bought it from my sister-in-law for an extremely low price, so returning it is no option Besides, since I can make calls the hardware seems to be ok. Or is there another mic used when recording video?
Anyone? I've tried various testprogram's to test the microphone but they none of them can detect any sound! From what I understand the SGS2 has 2 microphones, can someone tell me if the second mic is only used for noisecancellation, or is it also used to record audio? If the same mic is used to make calls as for recording video then it must be a software problem I guess, but I have no clue how to solve this.. :silly:

Yes, I need this feature as well.
As far as I managed to understand, problem is the lack of ability for line recording, as opposed to microphone recording which is enabled. Obviously with microphone recording, the far side's volume is very week, so that's why you it doesn't work properly.

Thanks. Still same problem. I asked for help in this thread, as this app seems very flexible and dev seems pretty responsive.

The problem with call recording is in kernel. Our kernel does not support 2 way recording (so both voices recording from line). It will record from headphones. No way to fix with any problem. Only way is to add 2-way call recording in kernel.

That's not entirely true. If you look at what I wrote in this app's thread to the dev, I managed to produce a scenario (involving the headphones) in which I managed to make it work.

Yeah, using headphones. With speaker it will not work without line recording imo.

Nope. Without headphones, recording when speaker is activated also works.

It does in one very awkward scenario. Copying here what I wrote in the Boldbeast call recorder thread. Here's the scenario:
- Plugged headphones
- Made the call and started recording (Let's call it stage 1). At this point I couldn't hear the call sound in my headphones, but still in the phone (no such problem if I don't record)
- Turned speaker on (stage 2). Now I hear the call in the speaker of course
- Turned speaker off, at this point I could hear the call in my headphones (stage 3)
Now when playing back the recording, I could see that in stage 1 I could hear the far side low, but in stages 2 & 3 I could hear it fine.
Note that stage 3 is the interesting one. The speaker is off, I hear the sound in my headphones, and the far end is recorded fine.
I really can't put a finger on the reason to the problem. I'm just saying I reached a state where I could record a 2-way call, without having the speaker on at this stage.

Had problems in the past uploading videos, so will guide you step by step. Please try to keep up.
First of all make sure your device is properly rooted and that you uninstall all other call recording apps.
Now install BoldBeast call recorder.
After installation, go to the application setup, Call settings :
- Set call recording mode to 22
- Enable root options (took me a few times until it worked, but it should work)
- Fix Recording Issues - mark all options except for Auto switch speaker on
(On a side note - these settings were the only ones that somehow worked. You are welcome to try other ones)
Now after setting this up, you will see a record icon for any call you make. Clicking it will start recording the call (showing a blue paw icon in the status bar). You can then hear the recorded calls by selecting the phone icon in the app.
Now to scenario I described:
- Plug your earphones in
- Make a call
- Click the record button. At this point, you won't hear the audio in your earphones but still in the phone
- Turn the speaker on, then turn it off
- You will now hear the audio in your earphones
Now after you hangup, you will hear both sides of the call starting the point you turned the speaker on and off.
This is really awkward. I guess christi is right by saying that the problem is in the kernel/ROM (as it worked properly with stock JB & KK). In addition, this app's dev told me it should have worked for me (using another mode - 34), and that he couldn't help if it didn't. So, I guess that until the kernel/ROM is fixed, we won't have call recording working normally in this ROM.

Firstly, I got my device back. Secondly, I have never ever promised anything like that. I said that I will watch on it and see what can be done, so never promised a thing. This is not a priority for me since it's not my job or anything like this. I am making this for free and I have never charged anything so far. Who wants can donate, but again, I am not charging, so I am making this when I want/ have free time/ have the mood for it. If you still doubt it, or anyone does, I have the pm saved. Please don't say I promised when I didn't do such thing. Things like this drive me nuts. Have a nice day.
cool man.. i just said simply.. dont be serious. sorry if i anything did wrongly..

As the heading tells:
The microphone of the Tablet does not work in skype
A test with voice recorder and some other apps etc shows that the mic itself works perfectly - but not in Skype. You hear only some "brrrrrrrrrr" noice in skype test call (echo test)
Any hints, tips and experiences about this?
TIA
Uwe
Correctig:
Also microphone im IMO and Viber do not work. Onyl distorted sounds at an low level.
In "Agent Mail.RU" all is working flawlessly without any problem.....

Try updating firmware. I'm using it in skype quite frequently and there are no problems.
I installed the last available Nightly CM12.1 - no way
Also PAC-ROM does not work with Skype.
I also made a factory reset and installed all from beginning --> NO WAY
Or do You mean of another firmware?
I can confirm that I have the same issue with latest cm 12.1 (and with previous versions for quite some time).
If anyone knows how to fix that, it would be awesome since I searched for resolutions but could not find one :crying:
Thanks

On CM try editing mic settings (gain, etc...) with kernel auditor.
Hey srry for my english im LAT but i have a problem with my GR5 KII-L23 the microphone just record in stereo but not in mono, it just seems like noisy scratchs, thats because i can record sound when i record a video or even in the voice recorder stock app, but in every voice search like google or youtube it just dont work, whatsapp neither, so there's anyway to get the phone working only in stereo for all apps?
Thanks in advance

Then it should be Hardware problem, try hitting back of speak, something it works, if not you need to replace the speaker.
I think it's a software issue because games won't start they crash after the splash screen and the mic crashes Google Assistant and sound recorder

Try flashing other custom ROM. Maybe it will solve your problem.
No you Don't get it it's on EVERY custom rom above 6.0.1 also I tried what you said it didn't work
(Crdroid 5.1 was the one that caused the prob btw)
Had this issue on my e 2015,I downloaded one of those speaker tester apps, and once I got to a high enough MHz sound,the speaker started working
