Hi guys,
following the wonderful thread:

we may get some help (our forum friend mattiasnyc is helping us with a contact In Microsoft )
Asyou probably are aware, the 950/950XL has 4 microphones...and a very good ones:
HAAC - High Amplitude Audio Capture are the mics we have since the Nokia 808 pureview.
"Most microphones have a certain dynamic range ? one can be sensitive to the quietest sounds while another can tolerate extremely loud noises.
What is difficult to achieve, particularly in a mobile device where the component may only be 3-4 millimetres wide, is having a microphone that can be effective for both the quiet and loud parts of the sound.*" (taken from https://blogs.windows.com/devices/2013/04/09/make-a-lot-of-noise-for-nokias-haac-recording-technology/#omZ0YCod7jcqRkcp.97)"
In the Windows 8.1, we could use a feature called rich recording, which enable us to make directional recording (taking advantage of multi microphones of some Nokia models (almost all of them had more than 1 Mic).
In some models (930) with the 4mic we could have a bit more... 5.1 recording...with directional recording...it was a great feature.
Some info:
4mics capabilities:
So... after this introduction... what is the problem??:grincry:
Well... our 950/XL phones cannot use the functionality of the advertised 4 microphones.
On the 8.1, the camera app had the option to enable 5.1 recording (like it has also the option to use Dolby when using headphones) in the Nokia Hardware (the ones with the 4 Haac microphones, like the Lumia 930 and now 950 series).
there was great capabilities with this setup:
- Rich audio recording (taking advantage of the HAAC mics) with a high bitrate on the models with HAAC mics (920, 830, 930 etc...)
- 5.1 recording on the models with more than 2 mics (930 for example)
Microsoft launched the WIndows 10Mobile... and didn't enable the 4mics (only enable recording on 2 of them) and it lowered the bitrate to a low bitrate...
Now it records at:
192kbps 48.0 kHz (instead of 320kbps on the windows 8.1) 2channels, AAC, (LC)
