recording sample using headset mic on Android phone

Post by eMicBra »

I just started getting into SunVox, sorry if this is a noob question.

I'm running SunVox on my Motorola Atrix 2 with Gingerbread. I want to record some samples and I understand how to do this (using an input module and a sampler module) but the input module doesn't receive any audio when I've got a headset with a microphone plugged in. Everything's fine if I use the phone's built in mic. I know the headset/mic I'm using works, because I can use it to make calls and I can record audio through its microphone in other Android apps on the same phone.

Is there a setting I'm supposed to change somewhere? I have looked, but can't find anything like that in Sunvox.

Thanks.

P.S. Sunvox is awsome! I wanted to spend time learning something that works cross platform (I have an iPad and Windows based laptop also) so I choose Sunvox, assuming I would sacrifice some sophistication for the cross platform goodness. But the more I experiment and Google for information about SunVox features, the more I realize how powerful Sunvox is. I've been listening to the SoundCloud group for the last couple of days too. Great stuff!

I'm afraid it is some specific feature of your device/system. Headset mic works fine with my LG E510. But there is no any settings where i can switch between internal and external mic. It is selected by system automatically.

Well, I guess I can make do with the phone's mic most of the time. It seems odd though, that other audio apps *do* recognize the signal from the headset mic (automatically, as you say, when I have the headset plugged in), but SunVox does not.

Thanks for your hard work on this software Alex. I'm having fun with SunVox.

I think it is because they use another audio API. I'm using OpenSL ES in NativeActivity mode.

Hello eMicBra !

Thanks for your posting. I face this problem in my past. I know Is there a setting but you can't change somewhere. Because it is fixable maybe.Also I have tried but I can't find anything like that in Sunvox.
