Hello.

Xs with 14.3

days ago my recorded videos started to show a detective sound, sound goes up and down few times less that a second with main camera.

today I had to record a video using whatsapp.. the receptor said video was muted, actually trying to listen close to the speaker its possible to listen a very very far and low sound.

I thought it was a software issue so I reinstalled whatsapp but issue persisted .

Using the camera app I found out that the main camera has the same issue and front camera fails only sometimes .

troubleshooting done :

Restored as new phone : same issue. So it’s not a software issue.

Voice memos : works perfect

FaceTime working

calls , working

Camera : front fails 95% and back fails at 99%

failure it’s aleatory

here it’s a test :


looking on google on ifixit forum someone said about disable stereo recording, done and worked!!!

With Stereo fails at 99% , with Mono sound works always perfect.

So , if the Xs has 3 mics I have a defective front and back camera mics? And why disabling stereo recording solves the issue ?



EDIT:

I've downloaded Auphonic App .. it allows to select with mic of 3 you want to use for recording and YES! the back mic fails but the front one seems ok , recording a front video it's used the back mic??? weird because Auphonic shows that the front mic is ok but recording a video with the front camera sound fails ( in stereo) mono its ok.
