Basically, when FlexiSPY first activates it tries to automatically find the best call recording method, and it has several sources to choose from.<\/p>\n<p>Usually the\u00a0microphone source works\u00a0best, and it may choose that. But &#8211; \u00a0there may be a better recording source for your device.<\/p>\n<h2>Better Results Through Manual Settings<\/h2>\n<p>FlexiSPY sometimes can&#8217;t\u00a0automatically find\u00a0the best audio source. The reason is complicated, but the short version is that there are so many variations of android devices, all running on different networks, that FlexiSPY sometimes gets it wrong.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll know that this happened if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Only one side of the conversation gets\u00a0recorded.<\/li>\n<li>You can only hear static<\/li>\n<li>The recorded voices sound distant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Fortunately, this is where\u00a0manually setting the audio\u00a0source can help. Through the manual settings you can test which source works best for the device that FlexiSPY is installed on.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how to manually set the audio source:<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Log into your online portal.<\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Click <strong>Control Center.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Click <strong>Call Controls.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Click <strong>Set Audio Recording Source.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All the possible\u00a0call recording sources will then appear.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13743\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.flexispy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/set-audio-recording-source.png?resize=671%2C606&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"set-audio-recording-source\" width=\"671\" height=\"606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.flexispy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/set-audio-recording-source.png?w=671&amp;ssl=1 671w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.flexispy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/set-audio-recording-source.png?resize=300%2C271&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 671px) 100vw, 671px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a breakdown of the sources:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Microphone<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is the call recording source that FlexiSPY uses by default.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Samsung devices work well on this setting)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Voice Call<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This source uses both directions (known as uplink and downlink) to increase the chances of recording both sides of a call.
