Something is wrong with the sound recording quality on my iPhone?
I have an iPhone 4 and there's an issue with the sound recording quality.
There doesn't seem to be an issue with the microphone itself because when I call people they can hear me fine. Its just when I'm shooting a video or making a voice memo that there are problems. When I play them back the sound is really faint and there's a lot of empty noise (like the noise you get when you play a tape back in the day when there was nothing recorded on it). Maybe If I upgraded the phone it would fix the problem? I'm still running iOS 5.1.1 and don't really want to upgrade because I like to use Maps.
Thanks for your answers and have a nice day.
Added (1). There was nothing wrong with it a couple weeks ago. It just started playing up. I havn't dropped it or anything. It may have been bumped around in my bag though… Awkward: P
Could be a hardware issue
- Why does my iPhone receive good quality videos as bad quality videos? So I recently met a famous guy in concert and when I got a picture wth him I was getting a video and my friend used her phone to video it. So she sent it to me and it was like terrible quality and the video was like little with a huge black border around it. But yet it looks perfectly fine on her phone? How do I fix it? Whenever I try to get video editing apps it always says error & only with that particular video. I have an iPhone 5c, and so does my friend.
- Why does it sound different when i listen to an iphone recording with versus without headphones? I post little covers of myself singing and it just seems that without headphones, my voice sounds more resonant and full but when i plug in my headphones it just sounds really whiny and lacking bass. Is the sound with headphones a more accurate sound?
- When I sing I sound good in my head but on recording it doesn't sound as good? I understand why this is but I want to know if it is because my iPhone recording quality isn't good. If not how do I actually listen to how others hear me sing.
- Recording quality in Audacity differs with different headsets? First of all, I'm not using a mic. When I use the earphones that comes with iPhones, the quality of the recording is really clear when I play it. But then when I use a Skullcandy headset, the recording sounds muffled. What gives? When I listen to the recordings I recorded with the iPhone earphones with the Skullcandy headset, they sound clear. It has to do with the recording because one recording sounds the same with either earphones. If it's clear, it's clear for both.
