Help Will the low quality audio ever be fixed in the video recorder?

[Showmrock]

The audio being recorded is horrible. Will there ever be a fix for that because I'm considering taking my EVO back.

hopefully when htc releases 2.2 to us, there will be a fix for that.

I have to bump this one up. Seems like no one has complain about the audio quality from video and voice recording. Its sounded very low quality, completely impossible to record a live music performance since all you can hear is garbled up sounds.

I'll add my displeasure with the audio quality.

Anybody have any news on this???????? Iam going to a concert in like 10 days...would love to actually be able to hear something when I record it?

 

[sitlet]

Nope, its the codec that htc/android uses. There is no fix for it. You can flash CM6 or CM7 which has a little better quality but not much.

You shouldnt be recording concerts anyway, usually not legal.

Asop records audio 10 times better for me

 

[handler313]

What is asop?

 

[Mr. Ed]

Also check out LG camera in the market for you stock guys

What is asop?

It's AOSP actually, and it stands for Android Open Source Project. Basically there are a few custom roms made by these people, that have everything extra stipped out, so no sprint stuff, no htc stuff. Just straight android.

So thats the only fix. How about 2.3 do you think gingerbread has to have this fix in it. I mean it would be ******ed if it did not. And what I dont understand is how is it that the codec cant record while taking video but it can record in AAC when you recording just audio. I downloaded an app called tape machine which records in amazing quality and has to be AAC. I also tried LG Camera but when you set the AAC setting on it crashes the app.

I spoke to the developer he told me he doesnt think it can work. But I told him the phone has the ability to record in AAC. Also since he made the app for that specific reason so you could record with it on which works for droid users and also works for the HD2 which is the american version of the Evo. Which I dont undestand why it would crash the app when it has the ability to use that codec. Any one have any update or more ideas on any of this.

 

[Mr. Ed]

The framework files were removed. LG cam works perfectly fine on phones that have been rooted and the codecs added back in.

 

[Evo4sickness]

So I have to root for to make the AAC work. The dev didnt even mention that.

 

[Mr. Ed]

well...devs are the people who make each rom...so there are multiples (developers) each one does things a bit differently. read through their full descriptions and even changelogs.
