After much testing OB6, this issue is bothering me a lot: videos recorded in it have a much much lower volume than stock 5.0.4.

I compared (diff) all audio related files in system/etc/ and /vendor/etc, including all mixer_paths*.xml between OB6 and 5.0.4 and they are all identical, no changes whatsoever.

I also tried rooted/not rooted, with or without V4a, with or without custom kernels (and changing mic gains in custom kernels), doesn't make a difference. Audio volume in video is terribly low in OB6.

I contacted OP, they sent me these instructions to take a log:

"Besides, can you kindly help to collect some logs so that we can look into it?

1. Input *#800# from dialing interface, enter "oneplus logkit", delete history log
2. Click "advanced", choose "save log type", enable all options, then click OK
3. Click "save log", when it informs you whether to reboot, click “cancel”
4. Click "get QXDM Log” > “audio related”, roll down >"open device log"
5. (Important) Reproduce the issue and take a screenshot to record the time
6. Wait for several minutes (better above 10 minutes), click “save log” again to stop it, enter QXDM Log and choose “close device log”
7. Enter file manager, choose storage, find the oem_log file, zip it and send it to us along with the screenshots. You can transfer the logs to google and share us a link.

Note:
After you share us the logs, please delete the file from your phone or it will occupy a lot of storage.

Thank you so much for your time."

But I have moved on to 5.0.4 and I don't have time to re-do all of this.

Can anyone confirm this issue?
