Microphone quality at high volume

[tjubb]

Anyone else give their S22 Ultra a test ride with video recording at a heavy metal concert?

The into for the Judas Priest concert last week was awesome in person but listening to the video is awful. Horrible clipping during the very bassy pre-recorded intro. At about the:22 mark you can hear the clipping for the remainder of the pre-recorded intro but less as the band begins to play live but still present.

This thread over at XDA seems to point out it being a software issue.

FYI, I've seen other cell phone recordings of the very same intro and they sound just fine. Seems the S22 Ultra really can't handle the bass. Thoughts?

Yeah I see what you mean. Honestly that was what I was expecting the more I read into your comment. It's like bright light being blacked out by the camera, super loud sounds are blacked out by your mic. I'd be interested in seeing an example of a device that didn't have this reaction, purely out of curiosity. I can't think of a time when I've been in a situation like this but if it can be fixed via a software update it would be nice for those of us who live out loud. LOL

How was the sound during the actual concert rather than the intro? I'd expect a metal show to be loud. Did the phone handle that OK?

it was ok, not great but better than that pre-recorded intro. It never got as bad as it was during that intro.
