[4.3.0.12][4.2.0.21] Xperia 10 II: Mic doesn’t record sound after recording an outgoing call

Although I doubt lipstick is the right service, I’d try it first:

systemctl --user status lipstick.service

There is the ofono service (telephony) which might be worth restarting as a test.

I’m not sure which services are running for you (try systemctl list-unit-files, it’ll be different for me since I’m on community) but maybe a pulseaudio related service shows up?

EDIT: errr, pulseaudio.service would be ,my first step, then, lipstick.

Thank you for your answer!!
It’s weird, because if I run ‘systemctl --user status pulseaudio.service’ from Terminal I get that it’s active (running). However, if I restart pulseadio.service, mic works again.

I hope Jolla can fix this issue, for some reason pulseaudio.service breaks after recording an outgoing call. Meanwhile, I can restart pulseaudio.service after every call, maybe with situations I can solve it temporarily.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Ok. That’s a good step. If we know that pulse is dying and it’s related to call recording, then it looks like the phone app or ofono is not releasing the hold on pulse (a dbus issue?). But, now I’m just speculating.

Well, after restarting pulseaudio.service, call recording stops working :frowning:

Then I would try restarting the ofono.service :slight_smile: But it might make more sense to restart the dbus.service.

So, after the call recording snafu, 1) try restarting dbus.service. 2) if no change, try restarting pulseaudio AND ofono services. That’ll help narrow it down.

Restarting ofono.service doesn’t fix call recordings.

I’ve rebooted and tried:

  1. Restarting dbus.service. After that, I can’t make a call, nothing happens when I try to make a call.
  2. Restarting pulseadio: I can’t make a call
  3. Restarting ofono: I can’t make a call.

Yeah, those are kind of hammers. One question. Was this a test where:
1). You enabled call recording
2). tried another app recording

for each of those services?

I use Call Recorder (harbour-callrecorder) and I tried with call recording of jolla instead, but I have the same issue. So it doesn’t matter if I use call recordings of jolla or Call Recorder

It doesn’t work on 4.4.0.58, could anyone edit title to include ‘[4.4.0.58]’?
Thanks in advanced :slight_smile:

I’ve tested on 4.5.0.16 and it doesn’t work :frowning:
Could anyone (@vige or @flypig?) add [4.5.0.16] to title? Well, it would have to be added [4.4.0.72] too.
Thanks in advance!

I’d rather not. We already know that the bug was first discovered in 4.2.0 and it hasn’t been fixed. Adding each and every release to the title just adds unnecessary clutter. As a sidenote, personally I would prefer if people used the actual tags for versions instead of cluttering the title.

Not on Xperia 10 III, either.

Great to know, thank you for your answer

:warning: Bug still is present on Xperia 10II / device adaptation 1.0.0.19 / OS build [4.5.0.19] :warning:

So disappointing having no audio-track to precious video memories … Often you won’t know about the absence of audio until you check it or someone gives you a hint …

Why not having the option of showing the current MIC-level in video mode ( i.e. before and while recording videos ) ?

»»» Really time to fix it ! «««

Faster than soon™ :wink::ok_hand:

You guy rock though ! :slightly_smiling_face::+1:

I’ve been running into the same problem: sometimes videos are recorded with no sound (and the playback speed seems to be a bit off).
The microphone is unusable in that state by the Audio recorder app as well.
Very annoying to have ruined video recordings.
Please prioritize this issue!
