How to fix iPhone 17 Audio having terrible static sound when recording with front camera and sometimes back camera?
Got new iPhone 17 for Christmas. The first time I tried recording a video, I noticed the sound was terrible. You couldn't even hear my voice and it sounded just static.
I followed other forum advice and as I was recording, I went into the control center and set the camera to standard, but that still didn't fix the issue.
Then I went into settings and then camera to play around with the three different settings of stereo, mono, and spatial audio.
For the front-facing camera, none of the three options give me good audio. It's just static and hard to hear my voice, though strangely mono sounds a little bit better than the other two.
But weirdly, when I record a back-facing camera video, mono actually gives me pretty clear audio, just like you'd expect, but the other two don't.
I couldn't find any answer for this. Hopefully someone replies here, or if not, I'm gonna go get it checked out.
