LG hardware problem audio video recording slo-mo etc.... - LG G5 Questions & Answers

Hello' after i accidentally dropped my LG G5 in sea water i managed to fix it. However, i noticed some functionalities didnt work.
-audio: no audio at all from phonejack or speaker. Which are independent and in opposite locations inside the phone.
-No vibration.
-No audio playback.
-Video playback works but without audio.
-camera works but only picture mode. No video mode.
-No slo-mo video playback.
Other parts and functionalities work well. Wireless & signal work fine. Memory is intact apps work fine. Battery was drained out but after one charge it works fine.
Now if anyone has any idea if this could be related to audio chip or any other hardware issue, or if anyone has encountered any problem of this kind feel free to share ur experience on how you fixed it. If u threw ur phone please dont bother sharing that experience.
Meanwhile I'll be working on this issue. I'll update this if i come across any news.
Regards.

[Q] No audio when recording video and sound

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:

HELP need confirmation - Stereo sound inverted when recording video

Hi, i have spotted some issue on my side about camera APP for mate 10 pro.
Do you have the issue about stereo sound inverted in landscape mode with rear camera when spoke to left the sound is played at right and when spoke at right, the sound is played on left (on phone and on PC) tested with google camera APK and it works, so i think it's a bug in Huawei APP camera and i don't really know how to report this in higher bug level huawei team.
For now helpdesk ask me to return the phone and i have obtain one other guy with this same issue. So could be nice if you can confirm this too. Thanks.

It won't help for YouTube but if you download mxplayer and use for videos you can manually adjust the audio lag
A very common issue. You can easily fix it by going into your developers option and change the Bluetooth bit rate and sample rate to the lowest and also change the playback quality to "optimize for best connection quality". Good luck cheers.
That dont work. As the Samsung phone do not save the settings.
Bluetooth Settings
Actually, you do have the options to chance sample rate and even audio codec. Changed mine to Connection Quality and about to try If it solves audio lag

Bad audio quality with Games

Hello, I have a issue with my Galaxy S21 (Exynos)
The Audio quality (Phone speakers) is really bad when using Games, it sounds like mono, muffled and without any bass.
It does happen only in Games. The quality from Music Player, YouTube, Spotify is great.
I noticed it while trying to record my screen.
As soon as I started the screen recorder the quality improved, the sound was fuller, with bass, and I was like WTF?
Stopping the screen recorder the sound return at a terrible quality.
It does also affect other apps, for example if I have Spotify running in background while gaming, the quality is bad.
Disabling/enabling Atmos does not solve the issue.
I also tried mods like Viper4Android o no avail
There isn't any settings that I could find.
I also updated to latest firmware (1 July patch), did a full wipe, but the issue is still there.
Can you please try it and see if you have the same issue?
Try to the screen recorder while using a game and see if the quality changes .
UP, please just try with yourGalaxy S21 and report if you have the same issue or not.
I have the same issue. It was reported in Samsung support but it seems they don't care at all...

Question Popping/crackling sound during calls on multiple apps [SOLVED]

Every couple of minutes I am getting a loud pop/crack sound during normal calls and the same behaviour on Whatsapp and Viber calls.
I tried both on speaker and without and the result is the same. I am running all the latest updates. The adaptive sound is disabled.
Also tried Stealth Audio Player to hear both the external and internal speaker on Youtube videos and I can't reproduce it except sometimes it pops when a video is started. I also tried recording my mic and it sounds clear without this popping.
Is there anything else I can try to fix or debug this issue? It sounds like it is trying to record or adapt the sound while on call even if the adaptive is off.

This kinda sounds like the problem I had, but ALLLLL the way back to my Pixel 2 XL!
If you're rooted, you can try what worked for me below -- although, I'm not up to date with Viper4Android (V4A) and I believe it's either EOL or is in the process of being updated to work in x64 architecture or there are newer updated branches or something... But if it's possible to lower the frequencies, you might luck out like I did on the taimen...
I Found a Speaker Distortion Fix
Like many, my phone has the lower speaker distortion on speaker phone calls and general audio, like YouTube, when turned up high. If you are rooted, I have found a solution to all situations except speaker phone calls. I installed Viper4android...
forum.xda-developers.com
Thanks for the help. I can hardly hear any issues while on youtube. There is noticeable pop when videos ending or starting. Some people are reporting motherboard issues with Pixel 7 leading to similar problems. I am trying to find if it is a hardware or software issue.
After further investigation it looks like interference. If I disable the mobile data and WIFI it seems to be a lot better. After 16 minutes call it was a very faint pop if at all. Does it sound like it needs a motherboard replacement or a future patch might fix it. Update: still happening regardless of connectivity on both the inner and outer speaker. I am going to RMA for motherboard replacement.
