Audio sound when recording a video.

I only noticed yesterday that there is very low sound when recording a video. I tried everything from reset/reboot until finally erasing everything and starting from scratch but the problem is still there. I think it started when i updated my OS recently. Voice on calls and sound from music or youtube works perfectly fine so meaning my Microphone hardware is not the issue. Problem only happens when I take a video. Hope apple finds a solution for this.

I have iPhone 12 Pro, and i'm experiencing the same issue (first 2-3 seconds no sound at all or just some random noise) :(, i've tried turning off Stereo Recording and other tips and tricks and the problem is still there (except factory reset, dunno i'm scared to do it).

Also, when i'm recording a video trough Whatsapp or Facebook Messenger, there is no sound AT ALL!!!!!! (and i have all the permissions for them, recording on Instagram works perfectly) !!! I'm really disappointed, because the phone is super expensive...and has such a big issue on one of the main apps...

What you're describing is exactly what my partner's phone does. It's most noticable with the clicking. Sometimes their ringer will be maxed, do not disturb off, the phone seems to think it's ringing at full volume from what I can tell, but it's actually near silent, and very very faintly playing the ring tone. I had to use a shot gun mic to pick up the sound but I have a recording. It was playing like 10 db lower than the lowest volume setting. Weird bug apple, fix your ****. It's been around for two updates.

Ps, I've done soft resets, I've done hard resets at the Chicago apple store. I've tried different video capture apps. Fresh clean software seems to fix it for a week or so and then it comes back.

Guys just get the phones replaced it’s no fix for the problem must be a glitch or some software issue .. I took my phone back so many times to the apple store th we just gave me a new one smh I ain’t pay for a iPhone 12 Pro so it could do this this phone is expensive bro smh I suggest asking for a new phone you guys don’t let them keep playing with the defective phones

I have the same problem with my iPhone but I realized it lately during the time of warranty and I reported to apple store but they did not solve my issue. Now also when I am recording an video the first 10 second of the audio get recorded very low later the audio gets recorded normally. My warranty has expired now. Please help me apple.

I had this issue and initially believed it to be a software glitch. However it turns out it was due to stuff stuck in the front facing speaker. Although on initial inspection the speaker appeared to be clean and free of anything obstructing it, I used a piece of duck tape and cut it to size and stuck it onto the mesh and then peeled it off. This took off a layer of grease that was obviously causing the problem. All audio/microphone issues were fixed after doing this to my surprise.

Wow I am having the exact same problems with my IPhone, first 10 seconds so low u can’t hear then it goes up but many times it sounds like it’s coming and going. I went into settings and turned off the control volume with button and as far as sound when on speaker ect it did improve a lot but not with video and it’s annoying having 5 grandkids and getting amazing videos with volume issues!!!!

I’ve been having same problems.I turned off stereo sound under camera settings and nothing.it was fine when I first got it now it’s really low and I can barely hear it the first couple seconds.I record my videos of me making beats and the quality is horrible ..I’ve had iPhones since the 3rd one and I’ve noticed after a year of having your phone the battery,sound,and more goes down..this doesn’t feel to good ..I got a 11 and I’m charging it 5 times a day and I can’t record anything cause it’s really low

Hello,

I had the same problem on my iPhone XR, as a turnaround solution I started the “voice recognition” feature, I selected the a door knock sound for example, after that this problem was solved ..

regards

Well now the problem is back and now it’s with the new phone they gave me phone only records with sound when in silent mode I have to hit the switch before recording 🤦🏾‍♂️ these phones are so thrash bro

Thank you!!! I’ve been having this problem for over a week now and it’s ruined any videos I made without realising what was going on. You’re a lifesaver!!

I don’t suppose you happen to know whether it might be possible to recover the audio from the affected videos, do you….?

If not, thank you so much again! 😘 xx

Hey! Go into Settings-Camera-Record Stereo Sound and switch off the stereo sound. That’ll sort you right out 😊. I can’t take the credit, I learned that from someone else on here, to be honest… 😹 Hope this helps! x

Guys I have the problem got it today itself!! And I have no idea what to do!!! If anyone has got the solution pls help!! I m updated with all the new versions only 15.1.1 is available now… what do I suggest … shld I go for it?? Will it help?? Also the switching of the stereo sound record tab doesn’t help either … **** frustrating… only way is to keep recoding and shay **** for 10-12 secs and then come to the point 🤦🏽‍♂️

So weird for me… I reseted and the camera mic was still giving me the same problem and now, a few days after and without knowing why, it works well now… even with stereo recording option activated… now hook it up 😳

The first 10 seconds of all of my videos have no sound whatsoever unless I turn my silencing/volume switch off. if my volume switch is off I can hear the videos just fine but when I try to record a video with the volume switch on no sound plays for the first 10 seconds. I have gotten into the habit now of turning my volume off every time I want to record a video, but then I forget to turn my volume back on and I missed phone calls. Apple needs to fix this.
