Hey, I use an LG F60 wich runs 5.0.1 and since i upgraded ( March 10th) the stereo of the microphone disappeared on most of the apps , and i ran a CPU test and said that rear microphone didnt existed when in this app running kk said i had rear mic, i waant someone to help me to change the microphone settings to disable Automatic gain control, bc the mono sound of my micro sounds muffled and dirty, i disabled AGC in one 3rd app recorder, but i cant find a setting to disable it of system, i tried ALSA and Viper4Android, and didn't find nothing related to mic, also in enginer mode Audio settings are not implemented yet. I also tried changing mixer_paths and those files, but i really don't know wich text i have to replace,and i can upload the files here, if someone wants to help me changing it..
Does someone know is there is one specific app or module, (without recovery) that disables AGC? my microphone without AGC in mono sound, sounds very HQ but with it sounds pretty muffled, and in whatsapp recordings is terrible.

So, I've come to expect most apps that utilize the microphone to pick up nothing but godawful static on my Atrix. I'm sure everyone's who's tried Skype (and most other VOIP titles before recent updates) knows what I'm talking about. But, I was recently playing with TapeMachine, and it's the first app I've used that allows me to select an audio source, which includes "Front mic" and "Rear mic" on the Atrix. When I use Front mic, I record the same blasting static I get with Skype's Sound Test Service, but when I use Rear mic, it records perfectly.
I can't find any way to tell Skype, specifically, which microphone to use. Even when I switch to speakerphone in Skype, it still seems to use the front mic. But, I bet it'd use the rear mic if that could somehow be set as a system-wide default somewhere in the Atrix's settings. I've browsed through a lot of .conf files, but can't seem to find this setting anywhere. Does anyone know of a way to change the system's default mic? I'm running a rooted 1.5.7, but I am willing to switch ROMs.
Frustrated with bad audio on recorded videos, I was determined to find a way around it, because there is obviously a problem with noise canceling microphones.
so I stumbled upon a user somewhere on some website saying how he tried this APP https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zeronoiseapps.secretvideorecorder&hl=en recorder where you can choose WHICH microphone to use on a phone, and if you pick "Mic" under options it records perfect!
now all we need to find is another camera app that has thit option as well, as this one is made for Spy recording or something like that as it works without showing what you are recording!
Finally a normal solution :laugh:
Alternatively you can install XCam LG and buy the settings app off the play store($2). The settings app has an audio noise gate option which fixes the sound issue along with a myriad of other useful settings. Only down side is that its not free.
I had xcam installed, by xdabeb, but no luck with that, although didn't know bout that settings app

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
forgot to ask, what app is that? Does it give you an option to turn off microphones, and choosing which one to use?
Its called XCam LG Settings. Sorry but no it doesn't include an option to choose which microphone to record from.
Does xcam settings fix the annoying issue if you record sound louder than say a whisper it will clip and sound like garbage?
So I'm guessing I blowed my main Mic, and now I was wondering if there is any way to set up the secondary mic as the main(for phone calls and whatsapp voice messaging) , since I know this one is still working.
I've been looking through the build.prop and cant seem to find anything defining where the mic settings are or what apps have access to which mic.
I have a galaxy a500fu running custom CM12.1 by the @TheWhisp
I'd be so happy if someone has an idea, because i really don't wanna buy a new mic and open up my phone once again
Since I installed the 23.5.A.1.291 (Android 6.0.1) update, my Z2 has had problems with almost every app using mic, with exception of the Sony-made ones, even if they are not default apps, like "Audio Recorder". Mic works fine with camera apps, for videos and sound photos, but Phone, WhatsApp, Skype, etc., are all muted. I enabled the Mic permissions but they just don't work.
Could you please give me any advice about what to do to solve this issue? It's really annoying, as you might guess. I have rooted the phone and have some notions for flashing the device and so on, but I haven't been able to downgrade or install the custom Android 7 ROM.
Thanks.
Please, any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks.
I have to answer myself, just in case other people have the same problem. In my case, some recording apps allow to record "stereo" sound (two channels), while most of Sony and other important apps, like Whatsapp and Skype, just record mono audio (one channel). I read some solutions to improving volume could by found by modifying the mixer_paths.xml file (/system/etc), then I tried several changes until I decided to copy the same parameters of
<path name="stereo-mic-common">
to
<path name="mono-mic-split-stereo-common">
Now the mic is working fine with those apps. For some reason I can't understand, mono input was taken from the "virtual" second channel, not from the real and only mic channel. As far as I know, the handset mic is mono, not stereo.
When recording sound (to a voice recorder or when recording video), the smartphone uses the functions AGC (automatic gain control) and NR (noise reduction). Try to record and hear that the first few seconds the sound is loud. Then the volume decreases and the noise reduction function is activated. Sounds awful. These functions are appropriate for a telephone conversation. When recording music, nature sounds and the environment, these functions seriously damage the sound.
I tried to edit the Build Prop (lines persist.audio.fluence). No changes occurred.
I tried editing mixer_paths.xml and related files. But my knowledge was not enough. I did not receive any changes.
In addition, it is known that on wileyfox swift with firmware cm-12.1-YOG4PAS33J this problem is not present. On later firmware the problem appeared.
Perhaps AGC and NG are sewn into the driver. Or implemented through audio effects in libraries.
Who knows how to disable these functions?
In advance thanks for the answer. And sorry for my bad English
Hi, I have noticed the sound issue with recording audio on the Swift 2. Have tried two different models and found the same thing. Did you ever find a resolution for this? It's very annoying.
