[Q] Set Microphone Volume from app? - Android Software Development

Is it possible to change microphone sensitivity via some Android API?
I want to do this to be able to set sensitivity of the microphone when recording. When you record now the microphone tries to compensate for the sound that are silent, that makes (sudden) loud noises go over what the phone can record.
Look at this image:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you set the microphone to be less sensitive the pink bars would go up, making low sounds unrecordable but higher sounds won't loose it peaks.
I don't care if the phone has to be rooted to do this but I want to be able to set microphone sensitivity via an apk.

Video recording: stereo audio uneven?

I sometimes use my One to record our band rehearsing, and overall the 'HDR' microphones cope surprisingly well with the high sound levels (we're a metal band with a loud drum kit).
However, I've started to notice that the right channel of the stereo recording seems to be consistently louder and, hence, closer to clipping than the left one. You can kind of see it in the screenshot below. I'm fairly certain it's not due to the acoustic conditions in our rehearsal space.

Has anyone else noticed this or is there something wrong with my device?

Can't turn off ring volume

Hi, I recently upgraded my OxygenOS to version 10.3 and I've noticed that I can't turn off the ring volume. I can get it pretty low but I can't turn it off all the way. Ever since I've gotten my phone I've had it on vibrate and it's extremely strange to begin to hear sound to my notifications now aswell. I'd like to get rid of the ring volume but there seems to be no way to remove it, I even get sound from notifications while the slider is on silent. Any help would be gladly appreciated. I included an image to show how low I can get the ring volume to.

Pumpkin AA0495B Mic Issues

Hello,
I know there are several threads about microphone mods, But i am not sure which version and hardware I have inside my unit.
The manafacturer response from support is that I can "remove the inbuilt mic"
The problem I have is if I use the inernal mic it is average when stationary with engine off, and whilst engine is running it suffers massive interference and is worse with blower motor going and driving.
If i connect an external mic this does not disable the inbuilt mic they appear to be wired in parrallel.
I am confident with electronics so just need pointing in the right direction.

Has anyone carried out a mic mod on this unit before?
I have desoldered the internal mic from the front panel but still awful quality sound.

Android head unit sound equalizer not working

I am needing a little help with a cheap android radio. Seems like when using Spotify or other apps the radio doesn't use the built in equalizer settings. Also fade and balance isn't working. Messing around with it, I found it does change the bass/treble/fade/balance in waze app though.. Does anyone know how to fix this issue so it will sound a little better. I totally understand it's not a high quality sound system, just would like it to sound close to normal.. I will take some pictures of the android version screens also. Thanks for any help!
