Camcorder has horrible audio - Vibrant General

I love the camcorder's video quality (H264 1280*720 at a true 30fps with bitrate around 12Mbps), but the audio quality leaves much to be desired: 64~Kbps AAC at a whopping 16KHz in mono. This makes any videos I record in somewhat loud settings to have a very garbled audio track, and it makes the Vibrant a useless camcorder at concerts.
Does anyone know if this is a hardware limitation? Maybe there's some hacky way to change it.

Is there any fix for this issue nowadays??

Load a kernel with Voodoo Sound. This will greatly improve the audio playback and recording. With the Voodoo control app, you can even choose from recording profiles for specific situations (normal, high sensitivity, loud environment).

Sound quality through headphones

It is noticed that while listening through headphones that the sound is being affected by some sort of 3D/spacial/EQ process that might give the impression of "punch" for movies but at the expense of phase-y sounding vocals and smeared high notes for music.
Yikes. Thst stuff is not good for music quality. No way to turn off? The settings options seems kind of scarce.
After playing around with various music players and headphones it seems that the audio is now OK.
Not sure what happened. It may have been a headphone jack issue. Audio sounds great now.
Oooops!
There is an issue with sound quality. Compared it to a Rockbox'ed Sandisk Clip Zip with a very wide stereo track 2-channel stereo track (fyi -- Brook Benton's "Kiddio" 1960). There is some EQ bast boost and high frequency crossfeed that narrows the stereo separation. I'm going to boot from CM and see if the problem persists.
For video I would not notice the issue, but could get to me listening to music with my Klipsch S4 buds.
Update:
It is not bad. Seems part of the issue is low gain which can be increased with Volume+ or other similar app function.
Volume+ did the trick for me. Jamming to some Coheed at the moment. Sounds as good as my other tablets now
The problem was never with volume -- I think stock has plenty of volume for driving Audio Technica ATH-900x. The problem is with some sort of audio processing that affects the soundstage and frequency response.
I am not hearing it using the Google player app. Gain is not the same as volume. Both need to correlate or weak quality.
SRS processing is used and applied at the headphone output. See HD+ file \system\etc\srs_processing.cfg
This is what I use, have my settings set to Jazz "my preference", audio sounds great, not talking about low resolution MP3's.

I understand the config issue, but I am not hearing it. I should hear the sound manipulation with cymbal decay as example, but not hearing it. Weird.
Playback in CM 10.1 has the correct stereo image.
so am I
so am I ,after checking

[Q] Ways to Increase low light FPS and get a better output

Use Applications like
Cinedroid(The Best with no noise in the video even in very low light, but no sound/audio. A lot better than stock camera)
Cinema FV-5(Creates a lot of noise but improves framerate, captures audio)
lgcamera pro(Again the the above one, creates a lot of noise but captures audio)
How to make Cinedroid capture audio to solve the problem for Yureka users?

How do you record loud audio without clipping?

I like to record video and audio at live concerts. Whenever I record video with the 6p, the audio comes out pretty decent w/ no clipping.
However, when I use an audio recorder, such as the Sony Audio Recorder and Field recorder, i get tons of clipping. I've tried turning down gain and enable clip protection, but the recording quality always sounds overloaded whenever the bass hits. The audio meters in it doesn't show that it reaches the 'red' but the resulting audio is still distorted.
How can i record audio w/ the 6p and get it sounding as good as the audio in the videos i record?

Speaker Audio levels are playing very weird

Hi, I was using CRDroid (android 8.0 version) for some months before I switched to stock marshmallow rom recently.
The following issue is present In BOTH THE ROMS.
The volume levels of the speaker are very weird,
While browsing instgram some videos have excessively low volume while others have decent while some have good audible sound
Before u say that it's the users audio quality let me tell you that I compared the same videos on my cousins iPhone 6s (which has a mono speaker) and audio levels on all the videos were quite audible.
Even my YouTube and Spotify plays at very low volumes.
I used to think my speaker was damaged but then how can I explain the high volume instgram videos???
Mx player allows me to playback videos at high volumes with the help of its sw decoder but what about the rest of the places? :/
Can anyone shed some light on this???

Microphone quality

Hello!
I've seen many samples of videos recorded on this phone, and the audio quality is bad.
I wanna know if this is a video recording problem, software wise, or something related to the microphone quality itself. Audio recording only works all right or is it also bad?
Thanks
