Hi. There is no way to record with decent audio quality.
All camera apps i've tested have this problem:

  • Default Fairphone camera [1]
  • GCam [1]
  • OpenCamera [2]
  • Quick Video Recorder [2]

[1] Unusable audio. No way to change it
[2] Audio source can be RAW (without denosing), but still codec is 96 kb/s

ffmpeg gives the same AAC 96 kb/s for every video from all the camera apps.

ffmpeg -i VID_20220823_000000.mp4

Stream #0:1[0x2](eng): Audio: aac (LC) (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 96 kb/s

Problem is with media_profiles.xml probably like:

Here:

Also, i've found that:

  • MediaRecorder.AudioSource.CAMCORDER is the worst
  • MediaRecorder.AudioSource.UNPROCESSED raw, is a little better
