Hi,
I've heard that the recording sound is horrible, but can it be this bad? I've had my TF for over a month now, few days ago I tried recording a video clip using the built-in camera, and the playing sound was barely audible! Even if I shouted into the mic. I could only manage to hear a very faint voice. Other than that the sound from games/movies/music is fine though. Did I get a bad unit?

does anyone face a problem with sound recording ?? when i record i hear back the recorded audio i hear a lotttt of noise , why is this happening i flashed radio and several cooked roms .
please i need someones help
anyone ???
yes, exact same thing here, it's like the mic gain skyrockets to the clouds, I hear an astounding high-pitch noise as if there was a hurrican blowing inside the mic, and this happens even if I record sound in a very quiet room.
On the other side, I use ACR to record all calls, and nothiong like it happens, my voice is clear on the recorded audio...
Audio on the soundrecorder and on the videocamera is simply useless instead.
I tried to video record my son while he was speaking but at playback I could hardly hear his voice. He was about 1 meter apart and I could hear him as if he was 20m away. My voice sounded ok though. I assume that the microphone used for audio recording is the same as the phone mic with higher volume control.
Is everyone experiencing the same?
Also, Ihaven't found any controls to configure audio levels for different circumstances (i.e. phone ringer, speakerphone, speaker during conversation, etc.) Is it necessary to only configure volume when you are in that area (i.e only during conversation or during playback) and not all at once in a special control panel? (I hope you understand the last part as I don't know how to explain better)
I also feel that the playback volume for recorded video is too low (even on max volume). The audio quality is also not as good as I would hope. I have yet to test playback on a PC though.
Unfortunately anything related to Desire HD sound is low at the bottom line no matter recording or speaker it is.
agreed that recording volume is too low. But one thing i did find is that when you hold your phone to record, the natural position where your right hand holds the phone actually covers the microphone (well at least for me). So make sure your hand isnt covering that and it might improve sound a little.
But when i playback a recording on my laptop it sounds ok when i max the volume.. definitely audible.
Im also getting this low mic problem, made sure i was not covering mic, still low volume. Even took the case off, still no joy, cant believe they did not test this before launch
Please HTC sort this out
After playing back recorded videos on my laptop, i'd agree with SupremeBeaver that the volume is ok. The sound quality seems much better too, so i'm not too fussed now
Does anyone know if I can buy an external mic to plug into the N4 and be used while video recording? The mic in the phone itself is very distorted during the events so I want to record videos with high quality sound during loud music events.

You can but it won't work!!!
I have the same requirement and the standard video app will not use an external mic - It must be a software issue...
I have found an app recently posted on the Play store: Ultra Video Camera. It will allow you to use an external microphone to record video. YAY! It's clunky to use (early days) and has very few user features within it but it does have an option to choose the inbuilt microphone or to use a headset/external microphone.
It works with my Lavalier mic as well as my standard headset + mic that I use for phone calls. The problem is that the quality of the sound recording is AWFUL.
There's a background hiss and a regular 'clicking' throughout the entire video. BOO!
I've emailed the creators and asked them if it can be improved - I'll update here when I get a response.
That aside - It does prove that the issue is a software challenge - and so I ask if anyone can 'hack' embellish the standard video app that comes with Nexus 4 to accommodate an external microphone?
My experience of the quality of the sound on the standard video app is that it's very good, but it prohibits standing any more than 2 metres away from the phone when making a video, hence the requirement for an external microphone.
The camera, and the audio recorder not working. Mostly white noise, and very low level sound. I've tried everything. Jb is worked fine, also the cm11 few month ago, but Cr3pt did something with the build, and the audio recording broken.
But!
If you are connect your headset , the audio recording is flawless. In recording, if detached the headset, still recording audio. But! Next time the same noisy crap will return, when you try to do some record with voice.
I got Nexus 6P yesterday and I noticed an issue. After playing back recorded videos, they all sound very muffled and the only things that can be heard is static and some loud elements in the video, such as hand clapping and so on. But overall it can be said that the videos have no sound at all.
Calling works fine, both others can hear me and I can hear them. And voice recording apps from Play store also record audio perfectly. It only muffles the sound if video is being recorded. I tried other camera apps from play store and they all do not work.
What should I do, is there a fix?
Root is out of the question as I might give the phone away from where I bought it.
