Too high? That's a new one on me. The mic levels (built-in mic, I don't use external mics with the TF101 and don't even know if that's possible) are far, FAR too low. As in, talking in a normal voice you have to have your face within two feet of the tablet, and pointed almost directly at the side of the tablet to get the mic to pick up anything even close to usable. I've seen plenty of people complaining of the same, and never seen anybody say the opposite, but I could've missed them I guess.
Well either way, there should still be room to increase the ADC gain for those that feel it's too low then
I think it's mostly in one of the new JB rom that I've seen someone complain about the high level of the mic that was saturating,
but can't find the post at the moment.. it's somewhere in one of the threads
Hmmm, I don't have a recording application to test for the moment, so take what I say with a grain of salt,
but the settings you're after to increase the mic volume should be the input PGA Switch / volume I think.
Looking at their current default value (5) it seems to be definitely quite low, as the value range are 0=>31
There's also the Digital Capture volume which is at 96 and can go up to 120
Try to play with these and see if it helps for the MIC levels.
Looking further into the WM8903, there's another setting that would be nice to play with, which is the ADC HPF filter
what it that does is that it'll allow to cancel noise by filtering the low frequencies, it has different available settings to filter more or less.
Default is hifi mode which filters almost nothing, but there are 3 other settings that allow to cancel more or less frequencies.
That could definitely come in handy to activate it if you are doing voice chats in a noisy location, or if there is wind or such when you record
Could be nice to have that kind of switches into the voodoo app too
