[@hipsterhavenasmr777]

thank you sooo much for this video. i started thinking that there's no way to connect a mic to my phone and i felt devastated thinking i will have to keep my earphones' mic. i found this type of adaptor online and i'm gonna place an order right now. thank you once again!

[@erichleonhard3188]

Great tutorial Rajat. Thank you. Is there a way to connect an external mic via Bandlab, and cutting off the internal mic. Instead of using an audio interface, can I.... safely... use a USB soundcard connected to phone, via an OTG adaptor cable....then plug the external mic into the soundcard mic socket? Thanks?

[@rabranch32]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have been reading blog posts and looking at other YT vids with no luck. YOU ARE THE BOSS!

[@lsethhill]

This seems to be the stock answer everyone is giving on KZbin but unfortunately it doesn't work on any android I've tried. I've tried it on S10+, Moto One, Moto G7+, and LG V30+. The missing piece in this video is a comparison of sound recording with the mic in and without the mic plugged in. Just using the TRRS adapter solution the devices continue to record with their internal mic so yes its recording sound, but not with the mic I want. The missing component here is something that forces the phone to use the connected external mic, simply plugging in the TRRS adapter doesnt force the device to pull sound from the mic. The only solution I've found so far is the Open Camera app which has a setting to choose the external mic but I dont like that solution. I want to use another camera app and have the sound pull from a TRRS external mic... so the search continues.

[@fundoorajat]

I disagree, i use the TRRS directly with my phone to vlog as well as use TRS with a splitter and both works fine.

[@pinatajuju4471]

Thank you for letting me know about this, I was going crazy thinking that my wireless microphone was not working.

Sirji You seem to be the wisest person on earth who has taken the pain to make focuses on " how the inbuilt microphone of Android mobile cheats the beginner podcasters to connect a microphone via 3.5 mm jack & expect it to be a recorded from microphone. It took me 7 days of research to identify it to an extent that i recorded via microphone in one room and kept it connected via 6 MTR wire to mobile in another room, & nothing from microphone was recorded...👌👍✌️🙏 A suggestion, change the tutorial to " how we get cheated by inbuilt microphone of Android even after connecting microphone" This will broaden the search database and do wonders to your subscription... Thanks a ton.

[@fundoorajat]

Thanks for your comment, i appreciate your time to suggest and like us :)

[@AmbassadorofKing]

I just purchased a Lavalier mic for use with my LG Stylo 4 android. I saw some concerns about using the mic with an android. Your video was VERY helpful! Hoping that, with the adapter, it will work :-) Thank you for the video!

[@fundoorajat]

You are welcome, yes the TRRS mic is you need and if you don't have one then you can get the splitter. Like this one amzn.to/2Na0q5B

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

I have the same splitter as yours, but it doesn't work. I have soldered an xlr cable to a mono mini jack. I tested the cable and mic and they work. Now when I plug that cable into the splitter and connect the splitter to my Samsung Galaxy Note 9, my phone only recognzes headphobes, although I haven't even connected anything to the headphone part of the splitter. Needless to say nothing is being recorded to my voice or camera app.

[@SadalDay]

nope it doesnt work

Great video, do you or anyone know if this works for everything within a phone concerning the mic? Such as calls or voice chat through other games. Or does it only work for voice recording?

[@kennethturner7942]

Thank you Very much for this! I am re-doing my videos due to lighting and sound issues and this will be sooo helpful! I read so many reviews of these types of mics for android phones and there were are a lot of people saying the mics wouldn't record any sound. Now, I know why they had their troubles ;)

[@fundoorajat]

haha that's true, and trust me i record many videos from my phone using a TRS mic but with TRRS adapter and the sound is amazing.

[@kennethturner7942]

Ok, so I bought the recommend splitter and an external mic, an omnidirectional BOYA BY M1 Pro. It works, and sounds great. And it works with the default camera video recording app. One little tip for those when testing this equipment. After you've verified its working with the sound recorder app, and test with a short video.... remember to UNPLUG the splitter to hear anything! Lolol I didnt. I left it in, tried to play back my test videos and heard nothing lol I even downloaded several different camera apps, because, you know the problem is the app not the user haha. So yeah, it works great. Again, thank you for your video.

[@fundoorajat]

@@kennethturner7942 Oh yes this is something i should have mentioned lol Thanks though :)

Does not work for me (Motorola G7 Plus + Boya BY-MM1), but what works is USB-OTG cable, USB sound card, microphone and headphones. Sound is then super clear. EDIT: On that specific phone I can go to video recording settings in HedgeCam2 application (which I normally use for RAW photos) and select Use external microphone (if connected). It's likely applied to all applications since then. I just can't find it anywhere in audio settings.
