DESCRIPTION:

Any audio recording comes out with barely audible volume.

PRECONDITIONS:

Any installed audio recorder app or even stock camera in video mode.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. Make a record with any audio recorder like Jolla recorder or Recorder from Open Repos, or even stock camera in video mode.
  2. Play the newly recorded file

EXPECTED RESULT:

I expect to hear the sound of the recording.

ACTUAL RESULT:

The sound is barely audible, even at the maximum volume of the hardware.

MODIFICATIONS:

Chum, OpenRepos, Patchmanager with some none audio related patches.

All OS version 4*, as I can remember, had this bug.

pactl set-source-volume 2 300% is a working workaround, but no permanent sollution. Doesn’t survive reboot.

I don’t understand what you are trying to say in your “Regression” section.

Sorry, New Year’s Eve (or the day after) may not be the best time to write a bug report

I’ve never said that “all problems are solved”. I only said that the color banding / yellow tint issue and the echo issue are gone, plus the fingerprint sensor seems to work better. Audio recording volume hasn’t changed at all, and I’m not sure if it has anything to do with Android.

Indeed, I can confirm that this annoying but is still present on the 10 III in SFOS 4.6. It takes increasing the source volume to 300% to get satisfactory audio level in recordings.

Is this now officially filed as bug? And yes, still present on my 10 III running SFOS 4.6.x
