No audio on camera roll video clips.

Question

No audio on camera roll video clips.

This is weird, when I record a video clip with my iphone 5, and then play it back, all I get is static! Sound does work with the speakers when I am playing a game or using the speakerphone. When I tried to play an mp3, via double clicking on the home, then swiping to the ipod controls, it had the same result. When I went to the music app it worked, then the ipod controls worked fine.

Incidently I believe this is the first time I tried testing this after I replaced my iphone 5 because of cosmetic blemishes. The original worked with the audio no problem. Any ideas?

iPhone 5, iOS 6

I have localized this to recordings with the rear facing camera. The front facing camera records and playsback just fine.

OK here is an update, the problem was the back "screen" protector I put on the iphone 5. It covered the hole between the camera and the flash. Once I removed the protector the audio recording worked fine again.

I went to this discussion to try and diagnose my 4S which had the same no audio/camera videos problem. I tried everything on this thread, except.....the camera app itself - one I'd had for years and updated, NOT the one that came with the phone. I tried the later and voila - worked like a charm! So I deleted the camera app that didn't work and will resort to the one that does! Wish I'd thought of that sooner - isn't that always the case!
