SimpleMobileTools/Simple-Voice-Recorder#244

In Readme nearly nobody will find it. I think the best would be a short description under each radio button. Alternatively, a new entry in FAQ (in the app).

I think the audio sources in the app correspond to some of the MediaRecorder.AudioSource options from Android.

Hi there. Would choosing any of the aforementioned audio sources allow recording of two-way voice or Voip communication? Like "call recorder". Thanks.

I don't think you will be able to record calls because VOICE_CALL is an audio source option, but there are some options from the Android API documentation:

• VOICE_COMMUNICATION Microphone audio source tuned for voice communications such as VoIP. It will for instance take advantage of echo cancellation or automatic gain control if available.

• VOICE_CALL Voice call uplink + downlink audio source
  Capturing from VOICE_CALL source requires the Manifest.permission.CAPTURE_AUDIO_OUTPUT permission. This permission is reserved for use by system components and is not available to third-party applications.

Thanks for clarifying. I don't suppose you know, or if it's at all relevant. What Android API feature music recognition applications such as Shazam take advantage of, as they allow recognition of sound(music) internally , from another application, hence my assumption that they can capture audio output? Sorry if above is confusing.

I don't know anything about the internals of Shazam, but I'd guess that Capture audio playback is probably similar.

Frequency response graphs will make it easier to decide which application it would suit the best.

As all android devices are different, onr way to know for sure is to capture a known calibration noise (like brown noise) with all of the presets. It would be convenient to have an in-app function that does that, even if the user would have to provide a brown noise source first.

Is anyone else facing any issues due to this removal?

Hi Naveen, first: I really appreciate your great work!
My problem is, that my recordings are now very much less loud than they used to be.
Also using a Pixel mobile is a true PITA regarding audio (calls, recordings, etc.). Your app was the only one that gave me the option to choose an audio input and thus still use voice recordings.
I'd be very grateful if you could bring back the feature in the next version.
Regards
Florian

Are you experiencing this on version v1.3.4 or v1.3.5?

Which option worked well for you?

1.3.4 had very low volume. After updating to 1.3.5 recording somehow doesn't work anymore. It will record, but after 1 second the graphbar will not show anything. Also recordings are empty.

"Tonquelle: Sprachkommunikation" worked.

Added the option back and renamed it to Microphone mode. Available in v1.4.0.
