Hi,
a friend of mine has a A1 that has a terrible problem with the microphone. In every audio recording, from video recording to calls, there is a terribile rattling noise.
I have attached a sample audio file, to make the problem more clear.
We have already tried to factory reset the phone (with miflash)
We have already tired to root the phone and change build.prop (ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=none/fluence)
But the problem still persist.
Any idea/help?
Thks
You have right, it is terrible! I guess that a problem is not software. Its look like a problem with hardware.

I don't think that the mic is broken. Every time I factory reset the phone, audio recording works for 3/4 times.... and then the terrible noise begins... I think its something related to video recording.
did you find a fix?

Hello, I have a big problem when I record video! Audio is too much low and with s lot of noise..a gs2 of my friend DOESN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM!I tried 44100 hack, too..but I have this problem yet!
Voice recorder DOESN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM, so is only in camera appz!!!
So, please, listen here (there are two files: 16khz and 44100hz with new hack)

I have flashed another time
GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1
My camera firmware(showed with code *#34971539#) is
Cam fw ver: OCEE09

EDIT: I TRIED "RECORDER NOW" TOO (RECORDES ONLY AUDIO..VIDEO IS GREEN), BUT I HAVE THE PROBLEM!

BEFORE i flashed e7 italian..after i flashed e7 generic europe..i don't think that problem is firmware
FLashed e2: I HAVE THE PROBLEM!!
problem is only mine?
1 suggestion, if you want people to help you, upload media to a more user friendly(read: where you can just click and listen/view) method.
Yes I had some noise on mine too. I actually noticed that there was more noise after I did a factory reset; I have no idea why??? I viewed old movies without noise, and the ones had noise... But if you look at youtube, all the videos have the noise, so I don't think it is really that kind of a problem. Software could help this with filters...
problem is that noise is sometimes more than voice volume..if you download videos, you can notice that volume is too much low...if I speak, volume is too much low...
I don't understand why? because voice recorder application has not this problem!
Problem is only mine, because a made a test with a my friend and his volume recording is good..
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.
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 can't find it!! And did it solve the problem?
Hello guys, i'm facing a very annoying issue, since i updated zenfone 5 to lollipop, my microphone randomly and at most time, the microphone doesn't work, during a call the other side can't hear me, but if i put in speaker mode, the microphone works well, also in recorded videos or audio, there's no sound, curiously, if i speak near the upper mic hole, the other side can hear me with a low quality voice. In nexus 5 there's a similar problem, and if you change the "persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=" to true in build.prop the problem is solved, so I guess the issue is in microphone noise cancelling. I want to know if there's a way to solve this, where I can disable the noise cancelling, i searched in build.prop but i didn't find a option related to mic/noise canceling.
P.S. I already change the firmware from stock lollipop to shell rom 5.0 and did a full wipe and the problem persist.

HI,
maybe you fixed you problem yet (I'm sure you did after more than a year, but for other people having that problem).
Open claculator and type .12345+=
Go to BoardMic_Test
Make loud background noise for eg. from PC select one under youtube for phrase "industrial sounds 10 hrs"
Tap Start and talk to you phone.
Stop noise and listen results.
You may repeat procedure several times as results will satisfy you.
Try the same without noise, should be OK.
It works for me, no mic replacement, no software upgrade, no restarts, no restore factory defaults
Hi! I have NucleRom installed, I tried to record a video at 4K. Now after that my camera is not focusing and I can hear a weird noise (but physical noise near the lens) as I start the camera app. Do you know any way to solve it?. I´ve already tried reinstalling the rom but it doesn´t work
Thanks so much,

The noise is from the autofocus. But if it persists after flashing stock rom, it's seems to be a hardware failure.
Did you try another camera app?

Thanks for your quick reply. I have already read the threads that you have recomended, but I think that it is not the same problem. The noise is pretty loud and crispy... I have tried 3 camera apps and nothing...
Maybe it´s hardware failure.
