Hi, I'm experiencing an issue where I cannot record my voice using my Bluetooth headphones on my Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus running Android 13 (latest patch). I've tried all the available audio source settings, restarted the app multiple times, but nothing seems to work.

Steps to Reproduce:

Connect Bluetooth headphones to the Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus.
Open the app.
Attempt to record voice using the Bluetooth headphones.
Change audio source settings and try again.
Restart the app and repeat the steps above.

Expected Behavior:

The app should record audio input from the connected Bluetooth headphones without any issues.

Actual Behavior:

The app fails to record any audio when using Bluetooth headphones. Recording works fine with the device's built-in microphone.

Device Details:

Device Model: Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus
Android Version: Android 13 (latest patch)
App Version: 1.0.0

Additional Information:

The issue persists across all audio source settings within the app.
Restarting the app does not resolve the problem.
Other apps are able to record audio using the Bluetooth headphones without issues.

Is there any fix or workaround for this issue?

Thank you!

Thanks for the workaround, but the "Record You" app is no longer available ( https://forum.f-droid.org/t/i-was-wondering-why-record-you-app-is-removed/27538 ) . So this is not anymore a workaround, sadly.

I am by no means an expert, but according to https://stackoverflow.com/a/50604751 then probably one shouldn't expect bluetooth to work transparently: it needs the "bluetooth SCO audio connection" to be turned on.

(That API call is deprecated in API level 34, but its replacement was only added in 31, which looks to be newer than the app-build-minimumSDK = "26"in gradle/libs.versions.toml )
