Yah, you will either need the Evo version in the app/themes section or the gingerbread version.
Both of them have been working fine for me, but some people have reported problems on them on some occasions. Either way there is an option to set to high quality in the options menu.

Poweramp's Stereo Stuck..It isnt WIDE enough..Tried DoubleTwist...Cudnt they include an eq n it..I hate the high pitch..SO for the time being until CM7s ported i will use winamp..ANd when i say best music player i mean the one with supreme music quality..Even though we cant improve the SNR we still cud widen the stereo a little bit..

Does miui player works on Optimus one?
Anyone tried that?

I doubt if PowerAmp does anything to the sound other than equalize. I think it still uses the same API as the stock music player, except for additional codecs and an equalizer. If the stock player had an equalizer, I'd choose it. So now I'm with PowerAmp. Good UI, good equalizer. If CM7 is completed, I'd be fine with the stock music player, will just use DSPManager for the eq.

WhatsApp audio recording

When I record audio in WhatsApp, the sound is very compressed and noisy.
Recording using the phone's default Voice Recording app records fine and sounds great. This only happens inside WhatsApp. When my friend records something on his iphone to send over WhatsApp, it sounds great... crystal clear.
I can record using the Voice Recorder app, and then share it via WhatsApp, but the person receiving it cannot play it.
Could someone else download WhatsApp and try recording an attachment?
The compression/distortion is much more noticeable when recording something other than a voice, like a guitar.
edit: I emailed their support and they said they have no such issue

Well your still a step ahead of me, I can't get Whatsapp to record what so ever, even when I record a video with it it comes out with no audio at all. As far as I know this only happens in Whatsapp, all my other apps can use the mic.
So yes there is an issue with it.

Are you using a custom ROM?
Maybe that affects it for some reason. Like I said their support tested it with a GS2 when I emailed them and they said it recorded and sent fine in normal quality.
I'm using Congnition 1.15
Can someone else please try?

Mines all stock, not even rooted. So I couldn't have crippled it.
Honestly I don't have any use for it so I didn't really try and find what's wrong.
Like you I was testing Whatsapp with an iPhone and the audio I received from it was crystal clear but what ever I send comes out blank with nothing to hear. It's like it can't use the mic.

I feel like their support might not even be able to notice the difference in compression lol.
It makes no sense that it would compress it on my phone but not on theirs

Lol well maybe to them it sounds normal when it's compressed.

Yeah, I even told them to record the same thing in WhatsApp and in Voice Recorder and they claimed it sounded the same
That's why I'm asking you fine gents to test for me

Well I just reinstalled whatsapp and surprisingly enough the audio works now and I can confirm that whatsapp seems to compress the file cuz the quality isn't as good as the stock voice recorder, but it's not that bad imo.
Sent from my GT-I9100

if you're just recording your voice its not that bad. But anything else sounds awful
I tried recording my guitar and it sounded abysmal
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

Yea probably. Well I guess the best thing to do is just use some other service in the mean time. Doesn't look like they'll fix it anytime soon.
Cheers bud.
Sent from my GT-I9100

I realized that it sounds just as compressed if I use a 3rd party voice recording app
I wonder why the stock recorder app has perfect quality audio while 3rd party apps sound like crap
is it like an API/driver thing?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

Hmm it might be an Api or driver but I think they're all compressing it to decrease file size and thus traffic on their servers. Cuz for instance if you send a photo it doesn't send it with the full resolution but lowers it to maintain file size. So i'm guessing they do the same to audio files.
Sent from my GT-I9100

Nah it happens with any App that isn't the stock Voice Recorder app
I guess it's special
I flashed MIUI and nothing records with the same quality as Samsung's app

Modding the stock movie studio app.

Would it be possible for a dev to mod the movie studio app so that's it exports in higher quality audio? That damn app is so limited but the one thing I can't stand is the low audio quality of the exported videos.

[Q] video recording audio quality

I tried recording some video and found the audio quality quite bad....The highs are not clear and the lows are muffled...
Is this due to it may be recording in 22 kHz or something and if this is so...where to change it ? A setting file or does it need the camera app to be modified. ?
