Unable to record in stereo

I don't think it's related to the circuitry at all, I believe there's (compile time) settings for this. Pretty sure it filters out faraway based on phase offset between the two microphones and has a noise gate on that too. Some phones expose the unprocessed audio as an additional audio source if I am not wrong, but this isn't the case on the Pro1.

I have also noticed this agressive noise filtering during video recording.
I am unsure but maybe one of the applications worked well but the Snapdragon Camera which has good video record capability can't use microphone this way which makes video recording to be really inconvenient.

Anyway, I have found a voice recording application which can record audio without this noise filtering effect, so it is definitively possible.
Based on this, it would be good if it could be applied _only_ during phone conversations and not for regular audio recording at all.

So I hope it can be solved in software.

Otherwise, my Moto G6 also had noise filtering active during regular video recording, however, it was less agressive.
...but I could record video using OpenCamera using unprocessed audio option and that way it worked without noise filtering.

On my Pro1, the latter option has not worked under stock Android when I have tried it months ago.

Please enlighten us which one, if others want to experiment 😉

I was speaking about this audio recorder.

Now I took a record and I have noticed it is also louder in the first few moments (maybe around a second) but gain / cutoff are not varying during recording and I can clearly hear background noises and also my colleague's question asking what I am doing about five-six metres and two monitors in-between while I was speaking something unmeaningful in quieter / louder volume. 🙂

Can't remember whether we had that here already, but did anyone perhaps try "FiLMiC Pro" by any chance? It's 15€, though (which is why I didn't try it on my Motorola phone yet since I rarely ever shoot video, let alone with the phone), but it seems that it might be the most sophisticated video recording app available for Android so far.

They also got a "FiLMiC Pro Evaluator" that is free, running that all are ticked (except OIS) including "Audio Gain", that I guess is what we are looking for.

not sure if you noticed, but in open camera you can choose to record in stereo, and unlock 4k recording.

Interesting, Unfortunately It seems to only record in the left hand channel from the right hand microphone when selected... 😖

Hello,

Did someone maybe found solution or fix for this issue with cut off frequencies?

Without having closed-source parts of Pro1's kernel, I doubt it is possible...
I think it is hard-wired close to SoC part which are not accessible as far as I saw.
