[Q] recording video without sound - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I have a problem with my new SGS2 and could not find anywhere a solution for this. When I record a video there is no sound recorded also, only the image... In the camera application there is no option for enable/disable this feature like in the SGS1. Anyone had a similar problem?
Thanks.

You meant that there is no option to record a Video without Audio right? If it is then I'd also like to know the same.
Regards.

Very strange request that but a valid question nonetheless (not that id be recording a video without sound)

No!!! I don't want to record videos without sound... who would want this? My SGS2 does NOT RECORD VIDEOS WITH SOUND!!! I mention that when I use an application to record only voice it works, so it's not the microphone...

Oh! For me it's exactly the opposite. I sometimes will like to record a Video without Audio. But I just can't find an option to do that. It always records Audio with a video

nobody had this problem?

very faint audio when recording video
I have a Galaxy S2 purchased for Bell, rooted with KG2 kernel, and unlocked for Rogers. When I record video using the stock Camera app, the sound is *very* faint. The mic works fine when making a call or when recording audio with an app like Voice Recorder. I didn't try making a video before rooting, so I don't know if that is related. I tried lgCamera and had the same problem.
Any suggestions for what could be wrong?

[Q] Better Audio While Video Recording

I was wondering if anyone has found a way to improve the audio that is recorded when video recording. It seems like if I am recording live music, or anything too loud (but not incredibly loud) the audio is just really bad and tinny.
Just wondering if there was an app or a mod to fix this and maybe change the recording gain.
Thanks!
PS - I am already rooted and running on SHOStock
Thats just how the quality of the microphone is... The microphone the video recorder uses is the front facing microphone which is next to the headphone jack I believe.

This works for the i777, I have tried it and audio does improve.
Also what you can do is replace the camera.apk from your current rom with a camera.apk from a different rom that has an improved audio quality. Ex: the camera.apk in UnNamed rom has an improved video recording audio quality. So take that camera.apk and replace it with the camera.apk in your current rom. That should do the trick
Shostock already ups the quality to 128kbps and with AAC, anything higher isn't that useful unlike MP3.
And the fix gtg465x tried to implement doesn't work. I tried it.

Alright, thanks for the info!
It's a fundamental limitation of anything with a built-in mic. Especially a phone.
Even my Canon HD camcorder had a crappy mic - couldn't come close to what an external mic or a standalone recorder (like the Zoom H2) could do.

Video Recording without Audio at all. PLZ PLZ PLZ Help me.

[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:

[Q] When recording video, sound recording is super low.

I'm on ATT HTC One with latest Cyanogen 10.2 mod. Anyone know why when I'm recording a video the sound recording is soooo low? When I use the phone's sound recorder it's fine so it seems like it's the movie camera app at fault. Any alternative apps? Thanks in advance.

Question How to record (video & audio) of a video call

Hi all,
Using this Redmi Note 10, Stock MIUI 12.5.4, Root, Viper Installed but I set it to non-active,
When I try to record the video call (using WhatsApp and also Viber), using the stock ScreenRecorder App, I only can record the video & my part of audio, the audio of the person who's talking with me cannot be recorded, or sometime even both are not recorded.. only the video.
I have tried setting the Sound Source (the audio to be recorded) to Mic and also System. Neither were successful.
Would anyone explain how to do that properly?
Record (the video AND also the video of both party in the) video call, using stock ScreenRecorder app or anything else.
I have tried AZ Recorder and Mobizen apps, with similar result.
Thank you in advance!
