In-line call recording feature is not something that can be found in the specifications listed by the manufactures or on the websites aggregating such data such as GSM Arena. It is also a source of bad rep given to the developers of call recording apps because the general public does not understand that they own devices which do not support such feature for one reason or another and the app they use have nothing to do with it. A short trip around the Web only confirms that there is a lot of confusion surrounding this subject.  If you own an Android device and are able to verify whether it and its stock  ROM support in-line call recording please post the make and model. I'm not sure if the country of purchase is necessary but I would not be surprised if handsets sold in some countries had this feature enabled while in others disabled (in the same fashion as DVD players supported different regions depending on where they were sold).  The in-line recording should result in a recording where both the caller and the callee can be heard loud, clear and background noise free, just as they can hear each other during the conversation. It should be achievable while having the handset by the ear with the loudspeaker set to off.  Some information on handsets that do not have such feature can be found on the Google Play storefronts. I was initially going to pre-populate the below list with the 'unconfirmed' information from there but I think it will be better if it grows organically :-)

I do not own an Android device. I was thinking about getting one, and an important feature for me is the ability to record a phone conversation which is in progress - meaning, while I am in the middle of a conversation, I could touch a button which will save a two-sided audio recording of that conversation from the moment onward.  I am aware that recording a conversation I am participating in without notifying the other members is illegal in some places - I have already checked this and have verified that it is completely legal in my country.  Is there is such a functionality in Android, through core features or available applications?  EDIT:   I prefer a solution which does not notify the other side of the recording, though it's not a must. I need a solution which works in any country.

As a Laptop user, I'm sure that a lot of people, even the ones using Netbooks would have already gone through this problem. Especially when listening to podcasts, and using it as an example, the sound might have loud moments and quiet moments, one person speaking loud and the other speaking very quiet in the same episode. Thereby, I always wanted the sound to be compressed system-wide, and I just noted the other day, that in Windows, some Realtek drivers already offer this function.  We have already a pulseaudio plugin for equalization system-wide, and although it still has problems like not letting us change its values and listen the change in real time, or cracking the sound while changing pulse volume, I do love it and use it. Now I'm just missing something to keep the sound around 0db (or near the volume level you're using) as a leveler plugin for pulseaudio.  Any suggestion?

I am setting up a Lubuntu box to install in a local classroom where people are not super tech-savvy.  I need an audio recording application for them to record things using the microphone and save in a specific folder. I have chosen Sound Recorder because Audio Recorder and Audacity are too complicated.  I have one problem; the only option in the Record From field is Master and the Record As field where there should be file format options (.ogg, .wav, etc.) is blank with no options.  Can anybody tell me how to actually record sound using "Sound Recorder"?  when run from terminal, when I press the record button it shows:  (gnome-sound-recorder:1894): GStreamer-WARNING **: Element 'gconfaudiosource' already has parent

I run a CentOS Server with VNC enabled and some services require a microphone to work properly, but it doesn't have to be used for recording, just a microphone device available. So I was wondering if I can create a virtual recording device that can be used as a microphone, but it doesn't have to input any sound. I run alsa tools but doing modprobe sound-aloop says that the operation is not permitted.

I have some apps that I want to record the output sounds locally before outputting to speaker, Bluetooth or any other output. So I get clean unadulterated audio, before any audio output mods.  My devices are rooted, some have custom ROMs.   Is there a way to do this internally, without any programming/coding knowledge? Can this be accomplished? Preferably with out hooking to PC as that prevents local saving.   include steps.  include references      Please excuse lack of tags, limited on choices.

Where would I ask a question pertaining to an ordinary phone? Or just cell phones in general? I saw Windows Phone while browsing the SE database, nothing else really popped out at me. Google didn't bring up anything either. Is that just too small a community to cover with SE?

I've no idea if there's a suitable Stack Exchange for poltergeists. It appears to be software, hardware or virus related, so I thought I'd try here, seeing as Ghostbusters is just a film, so I can't call them.  I'm not going mad, and this isn't a joke.  There's what appears to be a radio stream coming out of my speakers, except I can only hear it when the volume knob is turned down to the min setting whilst the speakers are on, which makes no sense. Sometimes it's French, which also makes little to no sense.  The speakers are Logitech 5.1s, I forget the model number, and I'm running XP 64bit. If that makes a difference.  I'd suspect it could be some sort of crazy virus, but I've been randomly killing processes whilst the poltergeist is active and it hasn't killed it, so I'm not sure about that.  Once again, I'm perfectly sane and this really isn't a joke. Perhaps other people have had this problem but have been too afraid of the reaction to ask anyone (please don't have me committed to an insane asylum).  Googling for strange noises coming from speakers didn't really get me anywhere. Has anyone heard of a virus that can do this and affect the volume controls on the hardware in that way?

Should Stack Exchange introduce the ability to upload embedded sounds (maybe via HTML5/Flash, whichever the user has) as part of questions and answers to Stack Exchange?  It could require a certain amount of rep to stop new users from doing it frivolously.  My rationale behind this is the new language &amp; usage sites.  I often find myself thinking that it might be helpful, when discussing a regional dialect or something, for the person answering to just pronounce what they're trying to describe in words.

Sometimes the Professor will say things quickly, or say things before I can write them down. It would be of great benefit if I could record audio for the course, but I am not sure the legal guidelines around doing so.

I find that the minimum in-call volume on my HTC Desire is still far to loud on some calls.  Since I got the phone, I have flashed several different custom ROMs, radio updates, etc, and have had the issue throughout.  Do you know of any way (setting, hack, app, whatever) to reduce the minimum volume?  My device is rooted and I am currently running one of the CyanogenMod 7 (Gingerbread) nightly builds.

I've checked the webpages of some their providers, but franly, just like in the case of those in my own language, I literally cannot find my way around them. So if you wouldn't mind sharing a word of two or advice.  I'm looking for a good solution for mobile internet surfing in northern Italy, that can be connected to a laptop (you know, that usb stick with a SIM card inside kind of thing). 15 Gb or so at some decent speed. Can you perhaps give a recommendation or two of what to get?    Edit: Just to define what I'm looking for exactly. A data plan of 15 Gb with an internet key (usb stick into which a SMS card goes) that you plug into a laptop. Preferably non-contractual, so I can cancel when I leave. I am not interested in surfing on my mobile phone since due to size I still prefer the smaller Nokia-like models for calls (smaller to carry) - no internet on them.

I'm on the hunt for a great sounding, non-in-ear set of headphones with working mic, play/pause, and volume buttons.  I have Bang &amp; Olufsen's , which are among the best sounding headphones I've ever used. And all three button work perfectly in my MacBook Air and iPhone.  Obviously they don't work perfectly in my Nexus 4, since Android devices uses a different way of reading volume up/down buttons.  So, my question is rather simple, does anyone know how to make them work with Android, or alternatively any equally good headphones to the EarSet 3i's that work on Android? And to make it extra challenging, no in-ear ones please, cause I can't stand them :(  Or maybe anyone knows of some kind of adapter cable that can be used between an Android phone and iPhone compatible headphones to translate the volume button signals so the Android device understands them?

I have an internal microphone in my laptop. I think it uses Intel High Definition Audio. But I can't get it to work with Ubuntu. It doesn't work with either the Sound Recorder or Skype.  On the Input tab in 'Sound Preferences', I just see Internal Analog Input Device...

I'm trying to record both what's happening on screen and the audio being played by the applications. To my surprise, QuickTime did not record the sound. I believe it worked before in previous OS X releases, but that is not something that I use often so I have not bothered to try earlier.  What is the current situation on El Capitan ? Have I messed with something that prevents QuickTime from capturing the sound, or has it never worked ?  Here is my view of Quick Time  / New Screen Recording on a Mac Mini:   On my Macbook Pro, I have the option select None or Internal Microphone. Internal microphone actually records the speakers of the Mac Book as heard from its own microphone, which obviously sounds terrible.  This is a MacMini 7,1 (late 2014) and there is nothing in Input Sources.

In short, I'm looking to drop current VOIP provider (Cablevision/Optimum Voice) and go with cheaper standalone package BUT want to keep existing standard phone that plugs into their box.  Does anyone know of any solution, preferably Skype, Google Voice etc, that I can switch to but without the need for a go-between computer?  Side note: Vonage have a $9.99 per month plan that might work, but will Vonage be around next year?  UPDATE: TO clarify a little more: I know I could use an Android/iPhone with a Skype app etc over wifi but we find the there is a large difference in quality/volume between an actual landline phone (even over voip) and a cellphone. With out current handset its already to go with a charger etc while Android/iPhone requires dock. The priority is to use an existing handset. Second, I do not want yet another computer in the house, that will require restarts, plugging into another socket and such. Thanks so far for suggestions, please keep them coming.

In conversations using Skype, I often want to share sound output (e.g. of a Youtube video) with other people I am talking with.  So I am looking for a way to route the output to the recording input (So that the other members hear the sound output), but I can still hear the output myself. Furthermore I want still be able to speak with them while sharing the sound output with them.   How would I do that? I would be very thankful!  Part of my question has been answered here:  (but it only allows for setting the output stream as input, without overlapping the real microphone)
