Microphone problems - Omnia 7 General

Just wondering does anyone experience the problem of recording a video on the Omnia 7, yet no sound is recorded during playback?
I've noticed this heaps of times where apps which require the mic (Shazam, bing voice search, and as mentioned recording a video) does not pic up any sound. The only way to remedy this problem is by dialling a contact and ending it right away before it alerts them. This kind of activates the mic of the phone. Anyone experiencing this?

No, sound is good with my Omnia. Video recording, apps that require the mic...no problem at all.

Thanks. Weird how mine sometimes dont work. Was recording a video, and when I played it back it had no sound... It seems fine now though, but I reckon it will come back eventually ><

Audio on video not working

Hi All,
When i take video with my omnia 7, it tapes without any sound. Has anyone come across this problem.
Thanks
I've come across this problem myself. I was at Soundwave back in February and half my videos had no sound, but some DID. I couldn't explain it. So I tried to experiment with it at home and found that the videos had audio each time. Thinking it was just some sort of weird one off thing, I went and used to phone to record a video at Future Music. Again, some of the videos had audio, some didn't.
I thought maybe the problem was that the audio at the concert was too loud and the noise cancellation mic was thinking EVERYTHING was noise, so it was cancelling everything, so I tried experimenting with the video for a couple of days after that. Again, some had audio, but some didn't this time, even when the volume levels of the ambient noise was very quiet.
So, after looking into it some more, I read one theory that it has something to do with a bug in how the Omnia 7 disables the speaker when something is plugged in (possibly into the head phone jack? I don't remember). I haven't really been able to find confirmation of this, but I'm hoping that after updating the phone, the problem has gone away.
I'll come back and post my experience when I know for sure
Thanks Deemar,
I have exact same problem, however I have only ever had one recording that actually recorded sound as well.
All the others have no sound
anyone????
same problem too :/ but i noticed the mic stopped working in other apps too such as shazam - it seems to do this from time to time randomly! very weird and annoying! havent noticed since nodo thought?
I haven't had the opportunity to experiment much since NoDo. But the videos I HAVE recorded since then (a grand total of two) have had audio. Knock wood, the problem might be solved...

Microphone Recording and Call sound

Anybody else got TERRIBLE sound when recording or using the A500 for VOIP calls or Skype whatever?
Really awful, and when recording you can hear you own voice clearly indicating the microphone is in front but why?
The recording image is pretty f-ing good! But sound is very disappointing... Is it possible to fix this? Or is a permanent issue?
Can anybody else comment on their recording quality?
Would be greatly appreciated, we gotto make the most of out Iconias right!
The microphone cuts-off everything above approx. 3.5kHz and the noise cancellation (2nd mic under the SDCard cover) seem to make things even worse. You can try to cover the 2nd mic with your fingertip.
I had a tablet that had a problem with the microphone. It worked ok for voice searches and recordings at the beginning, it never worked for skype or google talk video chats. The finger over the microphone thing worked for skype, not so much for google talk. After about a month it stopped working for everything and gave me an "audio connection" problem. Called acer, they said it was hardware related...they offered to fix it, but instead I brought it back to best buy and got a new one. The microphone works spectacularly now. If you can, bring it back and get a new one....
This is a BIG EPIC failure for Acer... I mean its such a small thing that they could have done better, nearly ALL tablets have decent mics...

Mic issue? (muffled in video/audio chat).

Anyone experience any issues with Nexus 10 and its mic? I tested google voice and video chat with couple different people and they all had hard time hearing me. I had to talk louder than usual or even almost scream for them to hear me. They're reporting it always sounds muffled or the audio cuts off.
The video feed is coming in fine and I know my network connection isn't an issue. Wondering if anyone else is having similar issue and whether I should contact Google for a replacement.
Thanks!
Edit: Seems like I was able to figure out the issue. I removed the back panel and tested it and the audio is coming through fine. It seems the cover isn't aligned properly over the mic hole. I contacted Google and am getting it replaced.

So does it work now? My friend has just got one and whenever he calls me on Google Hanouts, his audio works for a few seconds, then gets muffled and choppy - I can't understand him at all......

Mic randomly stops and drops quality when recording

When ever i record a video from any app (Snapchat, Instagram, etc) just when i record in general, what will happen is everything will be nice and crystal clear then it suddenly the mic stop and mutes for a second and drops the quality of the sound drastically everything looks good in video but it sounds terrible and stays like that until i end the video, and if i make a new video the same process happen again anyone ever have this problem or know a way around it? maybe its a noise cancelling feature? i dont know

Audio extremely muffled in video recordings. Calling and voice recording works fine.

I got Nexus 6P yesterday and I noticed an issue. After playing back recorded videos, they all sound very muffled and the only things that can be heard is static and some loud elements in the video, such as hand clapping and so on. But overall it can be said that the videos have no sound at all.
Calling works fine, both others can hear me and I can hear them. And voice recording apps from Play store also record audio perfectly. It only muffles the sound if video is being recorded. I tried other camera apps from play store and they all do not work.
What should I do, is there a fix?
Root is out of the question as I might give the phone away from where I bought it.
