Couldn't hear incoming voice in recorded calls in android 7?

Question

I am developing an Android app for recording calls. This is my code snippet.

    recorder = new MediaRecorder();
    recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.DEFAULT);
    recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.DEFAULT);
    recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AAC);
    recorder.setOutputFile(file_path);

This is working perfectly for devices below android 7, but when I use Android 7 mobile devices I can hear only outgoing voice but cannot hear incoming voice.

Can anyone help me in fixing it?

Answer 1

Use VOICE_COMMUNICATION as AudioSource as it is microphone audio source tuned for voice communications such as VoIP, as described on Android Developers site.

I tried using VOICE_CALL(Uses audio uplink and downlink recording) but it can be used only by system components only, So mic is only option to record audio.

TRY:
1: Sliding up the volume during call.
2. DO NOT use headphones as audio will not be recorded by mic in some cases[Haven't tried this]. 3. Works on Moto G4 Play, Android version 7.1.1(most of Motorola phones have two mics):

recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.VOICE_COMMUNICATION); recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.AMR_NB); recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
