Hey guys,
Whenever I film a video, either on Motorola's Camera App or on Google's, the audio is REALLY LOUD and it won't cancel/filter any noise.
In other words, the audio in the video sucks.
Also, whenever I record my voice on whatsapp, the audio is REALLY L OUD and has a ton of noise.
Why is this?
I am rooted on MM using systemless root... does this have anything to do with it?
What can I do?
Please help me, this really sux balls! :/

I just started noticing this and its driving me nuts.
I just factory restored with factory image, since i was rooted and issue continues to happen.
Not sure what could be causing it.
I notice it on snapchat a lot more. Sounds like one of those old school movie reels spinning.
can really notice it on quit environment, gets on my nerves.

Is it like this on every device? I got my Pure two days ago, and the recording noise is really a dealbreaker for me. It's really loud on snapchat, which I use a lot. Should I ask for a replacement or just return it and buy a Nexus 6P?
Volume level of actual sound appears normal - that is, spoken voices, or other sounds.
So it appears somehow lots of white noise is getting amplified into the recording.
Hmm.. Appears to be a known issue - https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoX/comments/3ulqdt/noise_while_recording_video_2015_moto_x_pure/

Do you think it's a software or hardware issue? I'm considering returning my device, but it would be useless if it's a software issue. And if it is, maybe motorola are aware of it already?... I'm not really sure what to do lol, because I do love this phone.
Hard to say. Chances are it's possible to somehow disable the noise canceling in this phone. I don't record enough videos for it to matter. I suppose when there is actual sound, it will overcome the white noise anyway.
I have a slight background noise and all audio no matter what app I record through (camera, Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook) is very low. I can't use speakerphone either because people on the other end can't hear me. Hopefully some sort of fix comes up. I feel it's more software than hardware. Never had the issue before marshmallow.
Try Open Camera, and then tap the Settings icon (upper right)
In Video settings, choose Audio source and pick 'Default audio source'.
See if that helps for videos. I don't use snapchat so I don't know how to fix that sorry.

I have been playing around with my HD2 on Phone 7 for the last few days and i am super pleased with the overall performance stability and user comfort it brings. Only drawback i have currently is that the market is not working but i think i farked up somewhere along the line there with the activation and registration.
Only one issue remains and that is the recording of video in 720P. The sound is to loud it seems and there is a big HISS covering all other sound. Now i was wondering what this sound could be seeing i recorded in a silent room (true silent room for hearing testing) and still the hissing was in the background. So while recording i put my HD2 to my ears and behold the hissing sound is the back speaker emitting static. I have no idea how to fix this seeing i am not an DEV.
But seeing the clutter of posts in the general tread i started this one. Can anyone confirm this behavior on their HD2 running Phone 7 ?

The phone itself is emitting the sound while recording. The second you start the recorder it starts to hiss. And yes the hissing is there when you play back the video. And YES it is 720P i recorded video and checked its auto focus is a tad laggy but it works.
I can confirm both, that it's 720p and the noise in the background.
I have a few solutions in mind, I will try them and post back here so soon. As this noise is so frustrating !
I didnt find any unusual hiss noise. Only thing I found was wind noise, and Im cool with that. THe audio is very very clear in my honest opinion.
i didn't find any hiss either
in fact my phone was rather silent when recording!
although i have changed the maxdbatten to 60 and ui vol to 50
my volume setting was at five
and i listened to it back, and the music i "recorded" was very clear
infact you could hear my computer fans!
...
When i playback the video on my computer, there's no hissing sound. On the phone i hear hissing sound when playing any 720p video, so it has to be something with the format itself.
For the ppl who reply there is no hiss or static sound in the background or at all can you try and confirm the back speaker of the HD2 makes no sound either in video recording modus ?
I found video recorded are a bit yellow. look my own video test at http://youtu.be/rDGcYVOOkbY. Weather was foggy not so clear.

I've just given it a try and I certainly don't have any hissing noises during recording or playback.
noise
I am suffering from this static noise too. And yes, it is definitely eminating from the back of the phone. Tried different rom versions, the noise stays the same. I would appreciate if someone would share the solution with me.
Hiss
Here too !!!
when recording video i get the awful hissing sound
steps i tried
reflashing
turning off sound zoom
turning on airplane mode to disable radio
anyone else?

I wouldn't even try to guess until you provide a reasonable amount of information about your situation. How do you expect us to narrow anything down without any clues?
Where is a sample video clip or even a decent description of the hiss? Tell us under what conditions this occurs, e.g. only on quiet environments, randomly, always, etc. Does it change when you change video quality settings, internal, external mike? What model phone, firmware version and anything else that appears even remotely relevant.
.
oki. ill upload a sample. it occurs under all circumstances, phone is pure stock so camera app and all is out of the box

That seems to be a musical selection.. so how to tell what is part of the unknown music track and what is hiss? Better would have been recording the quietest environment you could find. Or if the hiss only shows up when recording something, then play a recorded music track. And provide both the phone recording and the original music track so that it can be, more or less, subtracted or distinguished from the hiss.
It would help if the track didn't have interfering music or if you tried recording in quiet, moderate, loud environments, impulse sounds, etc with comments on whether the hiss varies under various conditions. At a guess it's the aggressive ALC (auto level control) when you record with the internal (?) mike. So when there is a quiet part in the music, the ALC cranks up the gain and the noise from the phone circuit becomes more apparent. On that theory it would be good to know if using an external mike alleviates the problem or not.
If it is an ALC problem.. there isn't much that you can do about it.. other than consider using an external mike.. not recording in quiet locations, which could be difficult.. or hope that someone disassembles and tames the ALC.

I have the same problem. Even returned my phone to the service and they did smth to the mic, maybe even replaced it. But my problem is still there. Search for check out 'hissing 001' video on youtube, i have uploaded a sampleml. they said they tried recording videos with two other samsung fives, and they all had hissing problems. But i just cant accept that a quality phone like thos has an amateur error like this... for others, sound recording sounds just fine. What can I do?
I'm having the same problem. Not sure when it started but now the hissing sound happens most of the time when I recorded videos. Recording voice through an app doesn't create any hissing sound. Anyone can provide anything we can try? TIA.

I just got my device back from service, and I have to say they did something to it, because now the mic works PERFECT, without hissing whatsoever.
IT could be sw related problem, but i strongly believe they gave me a brand new mic.
good luck!

Thanks for the update Darkerr9. I'm tempted to replace the mic by myself but not so confident I can handle it. Watched how to do it on youtube and will cost me around $25 for the parts. I still think it's software related issue since when recording just voice, it works perfectly. No white noise or anything. ... hmmm.. what to do..?

Ah, I see. Well I still had my warranty so they did it for free. And remember, the 1st time they (another service) tried to fix this, they failed to do so. I guess I got lucky now... voice recording quality is poorer, so that doesnt count imo btw if you use your headset mic, you will see (hear) that the problem is fixed..
Hi everyone. I have the same problem and it's very frustrating. I don't have a solution BUT I know the reason why it's hissing . It's not the microphone! When I record only audio with both microphones it's all OK. The problem occurs when front cam is on! When my girlfriend close up the phone to her ear she heard that awful sound (hissing). So the camera make that noise. Top mic is very close to the cam so mic gets that noise. Try to hear very closely to the cam and check if you have the same noise from cam.
I have my Verizon S5 currently sitting on 4.4.4 NK7. I've noticed no matter what video recording app I use, whether it be Snapchat or the native camera app, that audio on video playback always seems a bit distorted if the video was captured in a loud environment. Yet I see friends with other newer android phones and iPhones that have recorded footage the same venues (concerts) where their audio is much more tolerable. Has anyone else experienced this? I've been holding off on updating to lollipop, but if that is a known fix I might go that route.
For example, even recording a video on my car with the audio at a normal volume results in distorted audio quality.
Lollipop won't change anything, cause that's a big problem to not fix immediately. Are you possibly covering a mic when recording? Are phone calls clear? I'm not sure how to fix your problem, I'm just throwing out ideas. A search didn't bring up anything.
Apparently it's a common problem within the Samsung phones:

I saw the xda thread but wasn't sure if it was the same. Someone said disable the noise reduction option, and that should fix it.
Has anyone noticed when you launch an app, and the speaker starts, it makes a little click sound? Is this normal? Is it just the speaker turning on? I'm a bit paranoid now since I first thought the speaker was bad, but then compared it to my G3, and now really like it better, but I do notice the ever so slight "click/pop" right before sound starts to come through the speaker. It even kind of does it when the sound stops, and the speaker turns off, but it's much less turning off than when it starts.
Nobody who viewed this thread has a G4 Play that can say yes or no? Can someone please check their phone before I return mine as defective. Just listen close to the speaker, and open an app that plays sound (IE: games), or open YouTube, and start a video. Does the speaker make a slight click sound right before any other sound? Like the speaker is turning on before playing the sound/music/audio? I would hate to return the phone, get a new one, and find out the new one does the same thing as it is normal for all G4 Play phones.
Thanks to all who help test their own for me. Great community this is.
Yes, mine does a faint click as well.

Thanks for your input. Yeah, it's not really noticeable unless it's really quiet, or the phone is up close to my face. I have kind of bad OCD, and when I first heard it, it bothered me, but now I don't really notice at all. I guess it's just the way the speaker works.
It's normal, it needs to wake up the driver so it probably catches some noise from one of the electronic components related.
Said click can also be heard on Bluetooth. If I have my Moto Surround connected and no music playing, I'll hear a hiss every so often while browsing Twitter. Probably a software-side effect (like the aforementioned driver suspicion).
Nope.
Hello!
Just got my Essential Phone and I'm loving most of it so far. Unfortunately though, I'm having a problem with the DAC Dongle that came in the box. In combination with my Shure SE215 earbuds I get some terrible static noise whenever I start playing media from any app (doesn't matter if it's Video or only Audio). As soon as playback stops everything is totally quiet again with absolutely zero noise. Though it pops back in for a few seconds from time to time when I'm not listening to anything.
This is extremely annoying, especially when listening to really dynamic acoustic stuff on youtube or with movies, that tend to have quiet moments, as there are parts when the noise is louder than the stuff you're listening to.
Is there anyone with the same problem out here? Or could it be that I've gotten a bad adapter and getting the Pixel one might be a fix?
Thanks in advance!

I had 2 Essential phones and have not noticed static noise while playing anything. This you update the adapter? When you plug it in, there is a notification in the status bar telling you about the update. If you haven't updated, then try it, possible that the update fixes static noise. When I tried 2 of the phones, I update the adapter before listening to anything, so can't really confirm if update really fixes anything or you have a bad unit.
I do know that Google adapter works with Essential phone, although Essential adapter seems to be a bit louder.

I can hear the noise for certain songs when the song is ending or at a "quiet" part of the song. Not for all songs. A bit weird.

Yeah, did the update the first time I plugged it in. I'll try it with a different pair of earbuds maybe, to see if that makes a different.
As for the replacement dongle mentioned in another post. Thats interesting. As I live in Germany though, that would probably be a bit complicated getting a hold of one directly, if you can somehow get them separately from essential.
Maybe I'll just order a Pixel dongle to see if that changes anything. Should at least work as I've read in a few other posts.

Hi Lauritz,
I'm experiencing exactly the same. Did you solve the issue finally? I realised that the only time I don't hear any static noise is when listening through HF Player from Onkyo. For any other app like Google Music, Spotify, Foobar I stil hear that terrible static noise.
Thanks for any info.
