External Microphones - Nothing Camera App

voyta

I am writing to inform you that I am experiencing issues with connecting an external microphone to my Phone 2. Despite multiple attempts, the device does not seem to recognize the external microphone, and I am unable to use it for audio input.

I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter. Specifically, I am interested in support for external microphones, such as those from Rode. Enhancing compatibility with external microphones would significantly improve my experience, especially for activities like vlogging where high-quality audio is crucial.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to your guidance on resolving the issue.

Sincerely, Voyta

voyta I have seen other users reporting this too. It does appear to be specific to the Nothing Camera app, as suggested above, you can try using other applications for the time being. I will try to raise this internally, as I find this to be inconvenient myself!

Try GCam or Filmic Pro. With both camera apps external microphones work. I know it’s not the most convenient option but could be a temporary solution for you.

I have picked up a generic USB microphone for my phone, to do podcasts and better audio on videos, but the thing just doesn’t work.

It is plugged in via USB C, and the correct light is showing, and the microphone is connected as well. All looks as it should, just doesn’t try and use it on videos.

I’ve had a look through the video settings and can’t see anything to change the audio input, or in the standard settings. Any help would be great.

Thanks

I am using an external microphone through type C to 3.5 mm jack cable in video recording from the front camera on Nothing Phone 2. But, the voice is getting recorded from the built-in microphone of phone 2. Yes, the built-in microphone is fantastic but, can we fix this up?

Or is there any option in the settings of phone 2?

Please try and resolve this as it becomes very important for creators to provide good audio to their audience.

Hey 👋

Currently it is not possible to use an external microphone within the default camera app.

During the Q4 Community Update video, it was mentioned that this is in the works.

bring this feature to the default camera. i know it was presented in Q4 last year that is in progress, but is there any timeline?

I just saw that Rode in his post uses his external microphone on the Nothing’s camera. Has it already been implemented? I still can’t use it
