HD2 720P recording and the Noise in Phone7

I have been playing around with my HD2 on Phone 7 for the last few days and i am super pleased with the overall performance stability and user comfort it brings. Only drawback i have currently is that the market is not working but i think i farked up somewhere along the line there with the activation and registration.
Only one issue remains and that is the recording of video in 720P. The sound is to loud it seems and there is a big HISS covering all other sound. Now i was wondering what this sound could be seeing i recorded in a silent room (true silent room for hearing testing) and still the hissing was in the background. So while recording i put my HD2 to my ears and behold the hissing sound is the back speaker emitting static. I have no idea how to fix this seeing i am not an DEV.
But seeing the clutter of posts in the general tread i started this one. Can anyone confirm this behavior on their HD2 running Phone 7 ?

The phone itself is emitting the sound while recording. The second you start the recorder it starts to hiss. And yes the hissing is there when you play back the video. And YES it is 720P i recorded video and checked its auto focus is a tad laggy but it works.

I can confirm both, that it's 720p and the noise in the background.
I have a few solutions in mind, I will try them and post back here so soon. As this noise is so frustrating !

I didnt find any unusual hiss noise. Only thing I found was wind noise, and Im cool with that. THe audio is very very clear in my honest opinion.

i didn't find any hiss either
in fact my phone was rather silent when recording!
although i have changed the maxdbatten to 60 and ui vol to 50
my volume setting was at five
and i listened to it back, and the music i "recorded" was very clear
infact you could hear my computer fans!

...
When i playback the video on my computer, there's no hissing sound. On the phone i hear hissing sound when playing any 720p video, so it has to be something with the format itself.

For the ppl who reply there is no hiss or static sound in the background or at all can you try and confirm the back speaker of the HD2 makes no sound either in video recording modus ?

I found video recorded are a bit yellow. look my own video test at http://youtu.be/rDGcYVOOkbY. Weather was foggy not so clear.

I've just given it a try and I certainly don't have any hissing noises during recording or playback.

noise
I am suffering from this static noise too. And yes, it is definitely eminating from the back of the phone. Tried different rom versions, the noise stays the same. I would appreciate if someone would share the solution with me.

Hiss
Here too !!!

Audio extremely muffled in video recordings. Calling and voice recording works fine.

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.

Issues with Audio Only Recording (not video/camera related)

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

Recording issue in some apps

I have been facing strange issue while recording videos from Instagram and Snapchat.
When i record a video, The audio in recorded video gets played fine for like 1-2 seconds. But after that, sound gets muffled like something is blocking the mic from sensing impedance. However mic is not blocked.
While recording of video in Gcam or Mi Cam is just perfect as it should, So my microphone is not faulty but there are some codec issues that is culprit for muffled sound in video recording.
I have tried Dual Speaker mod to see if it helps, I tried to disable noise cancellation sensor just in case it is causing trouble but nothing helped.
I faced same issue on every ROM i flashed.
Am i the only one facing such issue?

I have exactly the same issue!!!

mic not working in speaker mode

few days ago the speakerphone function on my max pro m1 stopped working. The close mic (earpiece, holding phone to the ear) still works fine. Testing using voice recorder shows that BOTH mics still pick up sound fine (in interview mode), the top mic less so but still of a noticeable volume. Video recording with sound using the camera app still works fine.
In fact, the "speakerphone" mic is only broken during calls from the native phone app and using Skype, Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp (both with and without video, though the close mic still works).
So I can record a video of myself speaking fine, presumably using the same microphone and camera as the messaging apps, then have no/very low volume when making a video call. The same apps will record my voice fine using the voice recording component of the app. It's just during the audio or video calls when it breaks down.
Tried reboot, safe mode, clearing cache, turning off/on noise cancellation, changing app permissions (within reason), and a few other things I forgot.
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
reset & reflashing firmware could not help

I just realized this problem and this occurs to my device too. Maybe it's just a bug from new update, typical. Well, the waiting game begins. Hopefully asus fix it on the next update. Too many bugs.

Issue fixed ......
