Hey there! I have a Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 (HLTEXX) and have noticed that since flashing a custom rom, (Carbon Rom) recorded video has very low audio.

I went back to stock 4.3 to test and recorded video sounded normal, the same as video recorded on my previous device, an i9300 running Carbon Rom.

I have tested on my HLTEXX with Temasek's Unofficial CM11, with and without Temasek kernel, Official CM11, with and without Temasek Kernel/ Lean Kernel and again with Carbon Rom with Temasek Kernel and Lean Kernel.

When using one of the mentioned kernels, I used Trickster Mod app to try and increase the Mic Gain for video camera.

With Temasek Kernel, as soon as I ticked to apply settings, they reverted back to default. With Lean Kernel, the values appeared to stick but as soon as video was recorded, the values had reverted back to default and recorded video was still quiet.

Does anyone have any ideas how to increase mic gain when recording video? Or is it simply a case of waiting for more kernel sources?
I would appreciate any input, bearing in mind I am just an enthusiast with a basic knowledge of flashing roms and customising my android devices!

Thanks in advance :)

I don't think anyone uses the camcorder besides us

Haha! No one seems to mention it and mostly my queries have gone unacknowledged, hence the post. But Carbon on G+ were very helpful, Matt went through some troubleshooting and let me test a modified media_profiles file, which increased the audio bit rate and made it stereo but the volume wasn't changed. The low volume is most noticeable when viewing the clips on a PC.

Tapatalked that shiznit.

Out of interest, did you come from 4.3 or 4.4 stock rom? I'm wondering if the bootloader would make any difference, but don't know enough about that sort of thing to be sure. I'm considering testing a 4.3 custom rom, then perhaps flashing a stock 4.4 and rooting/ flashing Carbon again, but there's no going back then!

I have the same problem as you when I switched to the Resurrection Remix AOKP rom. It made me switch back to Jedi elite kk touchwiz rom until they fix it.

Monster audio cables are guaranteed to fix any sound issues that could be caused by your bootloader ;)

Anything new on the recorded audio issue? I skim all the threads and changelogs for all the different aosp ROMS but never see anyone even mention the issue other than the two of us.

It's gone quiet but Matt said he'd mention it to kernel devs a little while back as he'd experienced it for himself.

    I'm on 4.4 I don't remember the sound on 4.3 to be honest

    So you had 4.4 stock touchwizz before rooting and flashing a rom? Damn, I hoped that might make a difference!

    At least with you on 4.3 and me on 4.4 we know it's not that.
    ***I've got another issue that seems to either be just my phone or nobody else notices.
