I’ve encountered these issues many times causing the footage to have no audio.
When it does occur, it isn’t noticeable until I playback the footage or realize the audio meters aren’t moving.
By then I’ve already recorded many clips with no audio. I went nearly a whole day of recording without audio this time. I didn’t have time to playback and check the footage. When I finally realized it, it was too late. A whole day of footage ruined.
Bugs:
- The audio source switches to None randomly
- When connecting AirPods, the audio switches to AirPods but once I disconnect AirPods (by putting them in the case or turning off Bluetooth) the audio defaults to None sometimes. After disconnecting, sometimes it uses the iPhone mic but still says it’s using AirPods.
Device and Software Details:
Device: iPhone 15 Pro Max
iOS: 17.2.1
Blackmagic Camera app version: 1.2.10003
Solutions:
- Default to iPhone mic always when disconnecting from another audio source.
- Don’t automatically switch audio sources when connecting a device like AirPods or an external mic. Maybe have the optional toggle for automatically switching audio sources, but I would rather switch audio sources manually and intentionally rather than it switching without me knowing. When I connect AirPods, I often still want to use the iPhone mic. When I connect an external mic, I will explicitly and intentionally change the source to the external mic anyways to make sure it’s using that mic.
- Remove None as an option from the audio source. Why is none even an option… we can mute the audio in post anyways.
