Following my review of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Prime, I had more opportunities to record videos in noisier locations (concerts, award ceremony,...) and a nasty MIUI known bug surfaced, whereas sound recorded is ruined by the integrated noise cancelling microphone.
Like many Xiaomi models, the Redmi Note 5A has a dedicated noise cancelling microphone.
It does a wonderful job during phone calls but tends to overstep its duties by interfering with the normal sound recording tasks.
This is not a new issue for Xiaomi but I really didn't expect to see it in their latest models!
The problem may not appear clearly in relatively quiet environment, then one day you take a video of a birthday, a concert or a party where the basses are loud, then back home, you play the videos to find that the sound is badly degraded, as if it had been progressively ...cancelled!
As a demonstration, I used the native sound recorder in MIUI 8.5.8 and a piece of royalty free music with some bass
This is another sample of the resulted recording:
A possible custom solution can be applied to rooted phones, but Xiaomi should really start to look into providing an official solution for this problem!
I can confirm that it's not confined to MIUI... and affects also the MI A1!
As they say on the en.miui.com forum, this is...
