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.
Hi good people of XDA
As statet in title, when i record video or my voice thru any voice recording apps, sound is recorded very low.
Is this known problem with S4 ?
Im on PAC rom nigtlys.
Any help much appreciated.
I have a Galaxy S4 I9505 - I am trying to use my external microphone for video recording but it doesn't seem to pick it up. If I use the audio recording app, this will pick up the mic with no issue.
I have looked through the forum and i seen someone suggested to use lgcamera from playstore and this works but the sound wasn't perfect as there was some noises.
I used this mic on a Galaxy S3 while recording a video and it works fine.
Has there been any changes in the Camera app? can you recommend anything?
Thank you in advance.
Has anyone had issues recording audio on their pixel 2 xl? I typically use Evernote to record audio memos and they sound significantly quiet and muffled compared to the audio recorded with the camera app (recording video).
I downloaded a few other voice memo apps and having similiar issues, so curious if this is a general issue or isolated to my device only.
Thanks,
Mario
having the same issue with i. e. Whatsapp on my Pixel 2 XL. The recording seems to be a bit to quiet. I think it is some kind of Software issue since there is no issue on video recording.
I just tried the app Smart Recorder to record a voice message. On standard settings, it was too quiet as well. After I turn off the Auto Gain Control of the Pixel in the settings of this App and set Mic Gain Factor to 4,7x the voice has a decent volume level.

jep. bothering me on whatsapp, too, when doing voice messages. its something third party apps related i think, since video recording voice is loud enough.
need to get google aware of this, though.
Right! I initially thought the mic was bad, but video recording proves that the mic is just fine. So I'm inclined to agree that this has to be software related
Hi everyone!
so i've been using my S8 for probably 4Years. in samsung's original Voice recorder app there is an option called stereo recording which uses both microphones at the top and bottom of phone to record something likely ASMR. since i started to using a custom rom this feature is not working anymore for some reasons that i dont know. so is there any Mods/Apps that i can use to fix this issue ? my overall microphone quality is also decreased ... thanks for your help^^
