Mic not recording high frequencies - any fix? - Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers

Hi, I just got a Redmi 3 Pro today, and when testing out the phone all around, and I noticed the internal microphone doesn't record frequencies post 10kHz,
I tried several apps with the internal microphone, set to 48kHz and/or 44kHz if allowed: the internal recorder app, Sony's app, Easy Voice Recorder, the video camera, and none of them were able to record post-10kHz audio, as if there is a low-pass filter.
Connecting a headset microphone with one of those 3.5mm earbuds however, allowed it to record the full frequency to ~22kHz.
I'm wondering if this happens to anyone else, and else or otherwise, does anyone has a fix for this?

No sound while recording video

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?

[Q] Audio Input Gain Control HELP!

Hi guys,
can anybody help me find a way to reduce the audio input gain?
I was trying to use my SGS II to record some live concerts and rehearsals of my band and all I got was HORRIBLE distortion.
I tried to google my problem but no success yet.
Please help!
Up!
I didn't mentioned that I am talking about the audio quality of video recording and I am running on the original ROM that came with the phone.
Nothing? Anybody?
As of now I don't know of any software solution to lower the mic gain when recording video.
However, I've heard that using the headset that came with your phone (earbuds with mic attached) while recording video should use the mic on the headset, which will result in better audio (albeit in mono instead of in stereo, but that's a small sacrifice) in the video recording. I've not tried it personally, but you could try that out.

It doesn't have to be the headset that came with the phone, I think any headset which you can use the mic in calls should work.
My Zagg Smartbuds worked fine with this method.

Recommended video rec settings for concert vids?

I made the usual mistake of trying to record video at a (rock) concert last night on the S2 and the sound was appalling - levels way too high and distorted beyond belief. This happens every time so I really should know better.
Does anyone have any handy hints for getting half-decent sound from concert video recordings, or is it basically a waste of time on this device?
As far as I know, no-one has managed to lower the microphone volume. Just do yourself and everyone around you a favour and leave the phone at home and enjoy the concert.
I agree with oinky, but if you're on a stock based ROM, then an option for you is to bring along a headset that has a mic and plug it in while recording. Gain using the headset mic is acceptable, but it will then only record in mono.

SGS2S have build-in stereo mic??
AFAIK SGS2S record mono despite internal or headset external mic so tip with headset mic can actually be a proper solution.

Yes. Uses both mics (regular voice mic + NR mic) for stereo audio recording while recording video.

[Q] Solution for Audio Recording, need advice on Video Camcorder audio

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)

Microphone issue using loudspeaker

Hello,
When I make calls on loudspeaker the microphone cuts out intermittently and the recepient cannot hear me but I can return to the conversation by simply turning off the loudspeaker, obviously this is not convenient.
I have tried all the software fixes available but no success.
In the diagnostic menu for rcv_dual mic loopback the test does not record anything and similarly fails the interactive mic test in the Samsung online interactive app.
The mic does work for phone to ear calls and video recording.
All of this does not make any sense.
Samsung S10 973F
