There's a way to boost mic levels in our xperia? The Volume in my videos is very low and Shazam not working because of low mic level...
What I can do?
Maybe you have a hardware fault. How is the in call volume on the other side of the line, or when recording video? Shazam, TrackID etc. have always worked fine for me.
is there is an app or mod or kernel that controls the mic frequency ? make the sensitivity low ? cuz when i record a vid or voice msg by loud sound the sound is so bad not like (lumia 920 ) or ( iphones) ,,
so anybody have an idea ?
i saw some vids shown that there is a (voodoo sound ) app works very well with the mic quality , but its not compatible with note 2 ...
Why is the sound so horribly distorted when recording live audio. I dont believe its the microphone because it only happends on recordings that are 1080p and 4k if i use the lower quality creative effect the sound is perfect even in a loud concert its like they use a lower sound recording level for that, is there no registry setting in the rom that can tweak the audio recording level for video?
Navigate to System/Sound/Accessory settings/Mic sensitivity and change it to "Low" if you are going to record a loud noise!
Is this phone has built-in ability to calibrate and adjust a loud sound when recording a live video event and prevent to be distorted?
Does anyone can test or tested already?
Hi, any idea how to improve the sound quality on recorded videos.?
Did a test in a silent room and playback has a lot of crackling and background noise.
thanks in advance.
I have the same problem with video and also on sound recorder.
A search finds a few people have the same problem but no answer.
I have reported it to the Elephone Bugs & Problems Feedback and hope to hear from them as I like the phone but find the video unusable.
Fix
I found a way to fix this issue:
1. Type in the following on the dialer:
*#*#3646633#*#*
Now you are in Engineer Mode
2. Navigate to
Hardware Testing -> Audio -> Volume -> Audio Record
3. Under
Camera recording/ Receiver
change default value to 140-180
(you may need to try a couple of values to find the best for you, I chose 180)
This should remove backgroud cracklings and make sounds clear

Doesn’t work for me. I can’t find the sweet spot. All it does is make the background noise and crackling lauder or quieter.

Thank you, this works beautifully, there is still some background noise when listening on the phones speaker but is clear with headphones or on a PC.
I have also changed the Audio setting as I had the same problem with Sound Recorder.
Thank you again.

I just followed aovks instructions and changed the Camera recording/ Receiver setting to 180 (the original setting was 92).
As I had the same problem with Sound Recorder I changed the Camera recording drop down to Sound recording and set this to 180 (the original setting was 132).
There is still some background crackling noise with the phone speaker but the videos played back on headphones or another phone seem fine.
I think that there is still a problem with the phone speaker when playing videos but as the actual recordings are good I'm happy.
It may be worth trying a higher setting than 180 to see if it makes any improvement.

I'm happy I could help.
I came across this solution by looking at the value of Sound Recording, which is 132. Since sound recording had better quality than video recordings I first changed it to 132 and then tried some other values.
Maximum value is 252. I have tried multiple values between original 92 and maximum 252.
For me it seemed that for values above ~200 the sound starts to overdrive.
As said, by my personal impression 180 seems the best value, but maybe other values have better outcomes (I'm no sound expert )
Also, as you said, it is important to test your changes on other than inbuilt speakers as they are always off-tone even with the best quality sound source. Better listen to recordings with headphones or with some good externeal speakers.

Ok thanks, yes I suppose there is a some improvement for me too. It’s not dead silent , as you say there is some remaining background noise but it has improved. When listening on another device it does seem to be clearer. Thanks for your help.
