Make sure nothing is plugged in to the jack connector.
Make sure nothing is blocking any of the microphones (see the pictures below to locate the microphones on your device)
Make sure none of the microphones is obstructed by dirt or debris.
Turn the iPhone off and then on.
Make sure that the latest version of iOS is installed.
If necessary, find general iPhone hardware troubleshooting suggestions.

No audio when recording video iPhone 6 (4.7in)

I just got my 6 and love it, but I have noticed that I have ZERO audio when recording video, but rather some feedback.
I have tried rebooting and powering off/on. Nothing has worked.
Any help would be very much appreciated. I hope my phone doesn't have an issue.
Thanks,
Geoff

Nevermind, I had the back covered. Silly me to think it used the same microphone on the bottom of the phone..

Just Static Instead of Audio When Recording Videos

Just updated to 4.1 and no dice. Whenever I record videos it does not record audio as well, just static. When I first had the phone it worked fine. I've read other forum posts about it and not found anything useful to attempt. Fairly annoyed that I spend $200 and have to put up with crap like this. I'm taking it to an Apple repair place today to see what they can tell me. Hopefully it won't be that, "It just works," because quite apparently it does not.

I use a PC for syncing, not sure what you mean by create a new user. I took it to the local Apple Authorized Dealer/Repair place yesterday (the nearest Apple store to me is in Orlando, about an hour's drive) and they informed me that I would most likely have to A: Send it back, B: Take it back to Apple and get a new phone.
I'm fairly certain it is a software issue though, just from my experience in audio technology. The more I listen to it, the more I realize it's actually hiss and not static. Something like you'd get if your preamp was turned way down on a mic, but your main's were at 100%. You get all that low-end hiss and crap that's normal covered up by the audio, and the audio itself is very faint. It seems like it also might have something to do with the bluetooth setup too.
I'm still fairly surprised that this issue is not being addressed by Apple directly. With as many PR disasters as they've had with this phone you'd think they would try and head something like this off at the pass. Oh well...

HP Pavilion m8160 - no audio when recording video

I have a Pavilion M8160.be with Asustek Tiger TV/video capture card. When I attempt to record video via the front panel component sockets I can get rock solid video but no audio whatsoever.
The machine originally came with Vista and I have downgraded to XP Pro, with all updates and latest drivers. Both Vista and XP give the same lack of audio. As to software, I have tried both Windows Movie Maker and NCH software's Debut recording software. I have ruled out any problem with the source by trying two different VHS players and a DVD player.

Nevermind, I had the back covered. Silly me to think it used the same microphone on the bottom of the phone..

Iphone 5S IOS8 - quality of audio when taking video?

The biggest disappointment with the 5S was the TERRIBLY distorted audio when taking videos of live music or loud events. The 4S didn't feature the front mic and therefor sound was passing by perpendicular to the mic and it would not be as "hot" of a signal.
I have not one but two external mice I use when I plan*** on taking video but living in a city with tons of music I am not always prepared with an external mic. Taking video with IOS7 with the 5S is useless if the audio source is above 85db or so.
Can anyone who has upgraded IOS on the 5S confirm that they have corrected the software for the mic sensitivity for a 5S? My buddy has the 6 and his live videos of music do NOT distort.
Thanks!

Hello AudioArchist,
Does the issue of recording videos still not get any sounds? If so, take a look at the article below to troubleshoot the issue further. Now it may be hard to give the exact reason why that happened, but the article should assist with getting it fixed.

I want to be able to use airplay to stream audio to another iOS device, and then use that audio stream to be used when recording video instead of the built in microphone / microphone input. Is this possible?

I want to be able to use airplay to stream audio to another iOS device, and then use that audio stream to be used when recording video instead of the built in microphone / microphone input. Is this possible?

A third-party app probably cannot obtain a stream from another app. To the best of my knowledge, such a capability is not provided in the software development kit, apps being "sandboxed" from each other and so allowed to communicate only in very specific and limited ways.
I'm not completely sure what you mean by "limitations on video capture". An iPhone, to the best of my knowledge, can natively record video only through it's built-in camera, and audio while doing video recording only through the built-in microphone or mic/headphone jack. There might be a video recording app that would allow audio input from an external device connected to the dock connector, but I'm not sure.

No sound was recorded when recording videos on iPhone 4

Hi, my iPhone can't record sound when recording video, but the voice memo app still works fine. Any ideas?
(It plays some "weeeee" sounds insteaad)

Thanks for your reply . I've removed the cover when doing both tests I mentioned. The earphone I used is at good condition and I don't see any problem with it. I've also reinstalled the iOS as your instruction, but still no luck, the video sound still has noise.
I've decided to export the video file to my PC to see if I can hear sound better or not, as it's hard to hear and sound except noise with the external speaker on my iPhone even at maximum volume. On my PC I had to increased playback volume to 100%, set volume booster to 300% and applied noise reduction plugin (I use Media Player Classic on Windows 7) to get an acceptable sound (still noise but better than the original). If I don't boost the volume, it's hard to hear anything. I don't expect it to be crystal clear like the voice memo (using the bottom mic), but too much noise like this is really bad.
So I think it appears to be a hardware-related problem. I will later consider to send it to a phone repair shop or keep it and accept this bad video sound problem . In Vietnam we just have Apple authorized resellers but don't have any official Apple repair shops, that's why I'm still confused as I don't really trust those phone repair shops to handle my iPhone. Anyway, thanks again for your comment .
P.S: it maybe a little off-topic, but do you know any video recording app that using the bottom mic ?

No sound when recording videos with iphone 4s - ios7

Since I have downloaded ios7 to my iphone 4s I am no longer getting any sounds when recording videos. When looking back at past videos I have recorded, they still have sound in the playback. I have tried resetting my phone and reseting it to factory settings. Any recommendations?

Hey Bryan3939!
If I'm reading this correctly, it sounds like you might be experiencing an issue with your microphone recording during videos. I have an article for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue:

When recording video on my ipad no audio is captured. Help.

When recording videos on my ipad it is not capturing any audio. I have verified the volume is up and that the microphone is functioning but for the life of me cannot figure out what I need to do to capture sound when recording video. Grr... I'm frustrated. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

I am now having the same problem. I did record something about a week ago and that has sound, but when I recorded something today...no sound. The master mute is NOT on and I can hear everything else just fine.

Stereo audio when using video camera? Any way to do this?

Is there any way to record in stereo (2 mics) when recording video with the onboard camera? Can the 30-pin connector receive a stereo signal when videoing? (iPad3, iOS 7)

I figured it out myself so thought I'd share this for anyone else who wants to record video with the audio portion in stereo, you can do this using Sonoma Wireworks' GuitarJack2 in conjunction with a mixer. Keep in mind this isn't a portable solution at all but the resulting audio is excellent, especially in headphones so this is great for doing a video of yourself singing and playing guitar (for example) and you want to capture a good stereo audio signal. Basically, the way is works is you plug your two mics (we're talking recording style microphones with the XLR connectors) into your mixer of choice. You then run a line out of the mixer into the 1/8" audio input jack of the GuitarJack 2 (it's a stereo line-in) and the 30-pin connector goes into your iPhone/iPad. There are a couple of settings you have to make with the software for the GuitarJack but once you've done that, you can then make some videos with terrific stereo sound. You monitor the audio via the headphone jack of your mixer. If anyone knows an easier way to do the same thing, please let me know but this is the only way I've found.

Can you use midi sounds when recording videos on Photobooth?

Can you use midi sounds when recording videos on Photobooth?
Basically, i like to record videos of me singing and playing guitar or keyboard, but to get a good sound for the keyboard I'd like to be able to record the audio using MIDI sounds...
Ive got Logic, I've got M-Audio Fast Track Pro, into which i have my mic, guitar, and keyboard midi plaugged into. I can use it to record the mic and guitar on photobooth as they are audio inputs, however i can't use the midi sounds on the keyboard :/ I have tried having logic open with the desired MIDI sound selected whilst recording but it doesnt work...
Is there ANY way this is possible?
HELP PLEASE!
Thanks!

I Have just the same problem, if I shout very near the microphone i can just hear something, did you manage to solve the problem?

No audio when recording a movie on iMovie?

I recorded a movie of myself as an intended blog video for YouTube but there is no audio when I play it back.
I have checked System Preferences to ensure built-in microphone settings are good and they are.
I have a 2011 Macbook Pro with up-to-date software.
I found my similar posts online to mine but no answers.
Operating System 10.7.5
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi
This is a bit unclear to me.
No audio when recording
No Video-editing program I know off play any feedback (at standard settings) while recording. FinalCut is even worse that it doesn't play the sound while importing from Camera either (one need to connect speakers to the Camera-audio-out to get this)
So first - I'm not sure if You can get audio out while recording in iMovie at all.
BUT
If there is no sound - When Your captured video is played back - then the problem is more severe and I would start with.
• Trashing iMovie pref and cache files
and see if that helps.
Please - be more descriptive - so that one can do the same actions to see if Your problem is Yours only or if it is the same on more Macs.
Yours Bengt W

TS3376 The microphone on my i-pad mini does not seem to hear/pick-up any sounds when recording videos, facetime etc. Has anyone else had this problem?

The micro phone on my i-pad mini seems to have stopped working. The unit has never been rough housed and is always kept in a safe environment....we can hear everything fine, but no one can hear us and it does not pick up any sounds when recording video. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Does the Z1 have manual exposure adjustment when recording videos?

Looked all over the internet but can't find an answer to this question. When recording videos with the Z1, is it possible to manually increase the exposure by way of a slider (usually a range of -2 to +2)? I know there's an option to choose spot/centre weighted etc, but can this variable by set in advance with a slider? I film a lot of indoor videos that often end up completely underexposed when left in auto mode, therefore manual override is a must for me.
If not, does anyone know of any third party camera apps that add this functionality?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

On mine, running Android 4.4.2, before recording I can do it using the row of icons on the left. Make sure 'SCN' in the top left corner ('scene', in other words) is set to 'off'. This is like selecting 'manual' rather than one of the automatic, scene dependant, modes and it opens up the use of the next settings icon below it, the one that looks like 3 sliders, which would otherwise be 'greyed out'. So now that it's white you can tap it, go in, and manually select your 'white balance' setting (I use 'auto') and also the slider that you mentioned that goes from +2 to - 2. The slider in this case is labelled as 'EV'. Did this help?

Can i zoom in when recording video on ipad

How do i zoom in when recording video on an ipad. I am aware of the 3 finger tap to zoom in when watching video but it is the recording of video that i am interested in. If not is there an app to facilitate this?
Many thanks

Well, not directly. With iMovie you can zoom in afterwards, but that is expensive. I am annoyed that it cannot, but to take a regular picture you can do that perfectly.vjust pinch the screen, and it will zoom on camera.
