You’re a live saver! Trying to setup my motovlog setup with the purple panda and thought I was going crazy trying to figure this out. Thank you!

[@SeanOzz]

Glad it helped. Moto season is coming for me and I’ll be driving around Colorado Springs. Garden of the gods and more. Going to try a different set up this summer.

[@solomontown2808]

You are still going crazy though

[@AshishAmatya]

we don't need to select Line in option in gopro settings? i hav noticed selecting LineIn option gives audio that has kind of noice cancellation. which one gives the best audio?

[@SeanOzz]

Hit up GoPro and let us know what they say. Thanks

[@oto-aoki]

Big thanks!

[@SeanOzz]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@andretrujillo]

Does it have something to do with a mic being stereo or just mono?

[@SeanOzz]

kinda

[@zchyt]

I’m having issues with switching my media mod input to my external mic. When I go to setting then the audio input/output it says media mod and it’s greyed out I can’t switch it to anything else anymore. Wasn’t a problem before but started about a year ago

[@SeanOzz]

When you plug your lavaliere mic in it should auto switch

[@treasures_trekking_oz]

Good video. Cheers man🤙

[@SeanOzz]

Thanks

[@michaelsykes6679]

You're the Boss! Duh... Spent the last couple of hours and found your vide. Thanks!

[@SeanOzz]

Hope it helped.

[@TylerSpite]

Go pro is honestly so annoying, I’m selling this pile of shit and buying an Ace Pro

[@SeanOzz]

Crazy. I have both. Both work great.

[@AbhayPlays-r4m]

thanks mate you are a real life saver.... this is just the solution i was looking for... i thought my mideo mod or mic was not working and i had to replace them.... by you my friend helped me a lot through this.... thanxxx a lot!!! i will definitely subscribe your channel.

[@SeanOzz]

I am stoked it helped. I couldn’t find anything on it so added it in the mix of content. Hope you enjoy the mixed adventure content made mostly with action cams.

[@davexs]

Easy fix. I have the the 2 ring mic in my helmet already. Problem I have is, I start my M/C vlogg, works great. When I turn off, coffee break or something, start recording again the external helmet mic fails to work and the camera goes to the the media mod mic, which is basically wind noise. I have tried everything known to man but this problem continues. Never a problem with my trusty 8........This is not a problem consigned to myself, it is widespread.

[@SeanOzz]

Yep. Super easy.

[@RamblinManMoto]

Very same issue!

[@Citizen2ACitizenLLC]

Great video Bro..... I am having the same issue with the GoPro9, Media Mod and the Rode wireless II mics.... My 3.5 connection has 2 bands on both sides. So my issue might be something else because it does work sometimes...... I'll keep searching for solutions... But let's talk about all of my childhood arcade games in the background! I had to sub!!!!!!!! That is my dream...... have a basement (or space) where I can have an old school arcade and my other stuff (Im a gun-tuber).... Ride safe brother.... Great content.

[@SeanOzz]

That was sort of my dream too to have a bunch of my old arcades that I loved as a kid. I collected them over the years and played them a lot at first. Now they sort of sit there as decoration. Ha ha ha.

[@Citizen2ACitizenLLC]

great decorations!!!!!! lol @@SeanOzz

[@MotoPlay]

I have the same problem as you and I think it's the MediaMod P2 input. I think the input springs are a little soft, which causes poor contact. I already spent a LOT on microphones and another media mod, now I'm going back to the old adapter.

[@MatyasLemberTutorials]

Why do they not say it anywhere, that we need this adapter??? Took me ages to find your video

[@SeanOzz]

Because some Mics don’t need it.

[@TheWeedyGarden]

At 2:56 your sound is only coming through to one channel. Do you have a fix for that?

[@SeanOzz]

best bet is to get a stereo mic right off the bat.

[@kotiB-GamePlay]

i bought that trs adapter. but still my hero 9 audio is not working. but i aam using go pro adapter not the media mod. ohh myyy hope you can help me😢

[@SeanOzz]

Did u go into your settings and check ?

[@kotiB-GamePlay]

@@SeanOzz actualy my hero 9 with adapter and mic works pretty well in the 1st year of usage. then it went sucks after 1year, my recent "1st yr of usage" settings is same as today. i really dont know what to do with this hero 9. im planning to sell it and buy DJI if this issue not fix.

[@YourJamaicanChief]

I have a go pro 12 and my pro doesn’t even detect the media mod

[@SeanOzz]

Weird. Hit up go pro about it

[@yadneshdalvi2043]

my media mod is capturing distort audio more than the main audio

[@SeanOzz]

I like the audio straight from the camera more. I only use the media mod for a lapel set up.

[@netyour]

Very helpful video 😊

[@SeanOzz]

Glad to hear that

[@bourbonandbarrel8770]

Thank you, I was going crazy wondering what was going on. I appreciate your video!

[@SeanOzz]

Glad it was helpful

[@rafamototrips]

Hello mate! I m also looking for a good setup for motovlogging.. actually I have a microphone that works. But it only work in one headphone (left one).. it have 2 straips.. so it work.. but not in stereo mode.. If you can help me.. Thank u a lot, cheers from Portugal!

[@SeanOzz]

Check out these videos. This is my final set up that works well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5a7YqZpiJmNedksi=WkEMRhMdV96gnaEW kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIfPaqB9osSMl5osi=P6M9X0tXqlGHYyqx

[@EKsUrbanTracks]

Argh, I bought Rode's Lavalier mic, three bands, didn't work, bought their own adapter with the two bands, not working either :x I've contacted customer services, apparently there are still some issues.

[@SeanOzz]

Sorry to hear that

[@BryanMiraflor]

great video! they really need to redesign the media mod. lol i found another video where they fixed the battery changing issue. some guy makes an aluminum attachment that connects to the bottom of the media mod. so you can easily take out the gopro to replace the battery. company name is little-enterprises and the product fix is called the "Finger Mount for GoPro Media Mod"

[@SeanOzz]

That sounds like a great mod

[@olmanzomby7718]

I appreciate your help on this! I have lost lots of footage because of this audio issue(s)!

[@SeanOzz]

Glad it helped!

[@danbeckett1102]

Thank you for this video! It was a lifesaver for this new GoPro user climbing the learning curve of making decent-quality videos at home. You quickly helped me turn "WTF?!?" into "Ah ha!" Thank you!

[@SeanOzz]

So glad it helped. I have a few using it in a helmet after fixing this issue myself.

[@elizabethwonders]

Awesome! Helpful video! Ty! 😊

[@SeanOzz]

You’re welcome

[@ontheothersideoftheroad]

Good info, thanks. I use the GoPro H8 with no external mic. What I did was since the GoPro has three mics I covered the front mics with scotch tape and left the one on the left side open with a dead cat. I also put a wind cutter foam, I ride a HD Limited with a fairing that also helps with cutting down the wind. Mind you even though I covered the other mics they still pick up muffled audio but you can't tell. So when I'm talking to the camera I move just a bit close so that open mic picks up my voice and engine sound but when the camera is facing me it picks up my voice combine with engine sound and you can hear me just fine.

[@SeanOzz]

👍🏻

[@solomontown2808]

Good video. Thanks

[@SeanOzz]

👍🏻

[@Archan1785]

Thanks! I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Trying to connect the USB from my guitar amp to a GoPro II camera. Just ordered the adapter. 👍

[@SeanOzz]

Hope it works for you like it did me

[@JennaCee]

Great video! I found that out the hard way. So frustrating when you didn't know that was the 'simple' issue. Uggg....

[@SeanOzz]

Thanks Jenna.

[@husseinsbaiti9938]

Helpful ❤

[@SeanOzz]

Glad to hear that

[@RonaldBrown59]

I think I had this problems a few years ago, I thought it was something I was doing wrong. Great information Sean, and thanks for sharing.

[@SeanOzz]

Thanks for watching Ron

[@ScooterRon]

What about just one speaker having audio?

[@SeanOzz]

Pretty sure the output on the GoPro is just one speaker

[@ScooterRon]

@@SeanOzz so no the GoPro hero 11 black can record in stereo, and the media mod 3.5 mm TRS jack does too. Should have left and right but I was only getting left sound. I think my mic is f’ed up. I was able to fix it by transcoding my video and adding a second mono channel to make it basically stereo. I should have been more clear by saying the mic is only recording left side sound

[@SeanOzz]

Ahhh. Got ya. Makes sense. I’d try another mic as that’s cheapest way to test.

[@ScooterRon]

@@SeanOzz for sure man, I hit the Amazon cart earlier today lol. Thanks for your feedback!

[@SuperRealityKid]

Great Sean. The problem is, I have been using a three ringed plug for some time and it does work BUT, not all the time. I've been chasing this issue for ages and I come back from a fly in my plane and most times it's ok but there have been several instances when the connector has become noisy and stops working altogether. Intermittent faults are the worst but it looks like you've hit on my problem. I'll change the cable for a two ringed plug and hope to come back from a flight with all the audio. Thanks.

[@SeanOzz]

Or just get the cheap adapter and problem solved. Good luck.

[@SuperRealityKid]

Good rule of thumb, the fewer connections, the better 🤫@@SeanOzz

[@SeanOzz]

If your budget allows for it. I feel ya though.

[@samefishingaustralia]

it still doesnt fix the issue. i sometimes get audio sometimes i dont. any recommendations?

[@SeanOzz]

Weird. U either have a defective wire or adapter or media mod. Call GoPro to exchange it.

[@theonlygrizz]

HOLY F**** someone that FINALLY has the solution! Thanks brother. I ordered two. For the love of Pete I hope this works. I'm about to throw my G9 across the room.

[@SeanOzz]

Fingers crossed! Let me know when you try.

[@theonlygrizz]

@@SeanOzz yep, the TRRS to TRS adapter works! The key is just to start with a 'two line' mic

[@theonlygrizz]

@@SeanOzz yep, I had a 3-line mic plug. the new 2-line mic plug was the fix. Thanks brother for saving my sanity...well...there is more hope for my sanity now at least.

[@TECHDRONEMEDIA]

TRS vs TRRS is a classic 😊

[@SeanOzz]

Yes. 100%. I was surprised the media mod didn’t accept both.

[@Jake_Towne]

Thank you so much! Great video!!

[@SeanOzz]

Glad it was helpful

[@liamsteel]

Thanks for the video just helped me

[@SeanOzz]

Glad to hear that

[@bindaasrover]

Let's hope 🤞 it solves the mine issue...why not media mod mentioned it in the first place 😕

[@SeanOzz]

Hope so. Just look at your mic and see which type you have.

[@bindaasrover]

@@SeanOzz it was same issue ..😁. The service team even didn't have clue about this... They suggested to update the GoPro manually... Check with another media mod... And at last to courier the GoPro to their centre.....ur video saved me from all these things... 👍

[@SeanOzz]

Dude. That’s awesome. So glad it was helpful.
