Audio recordings base volume to low

[eson]

REPRODUCIBILITY: Always
OS VERSION: 4.5.0.24
HARDWARE: Sony Xperia 10 III
UI LANGUAGE: Swedish
REGRESSION:

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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

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.

Discussion:

Microphone loudness

I had people complaining that recorded videos (via stock camera) or voice messages (via signal android app) are not loud enough from my xperia 10iii. Does anyone have a workaround?

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.

This bug is still present in SFOS 4.6.

[wetab73]

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
