Live link audio buzzing noise

Everytime i use the live link face capture there is a bad buzzing noise on the audio. I tested the iphone’s built in video recorder and memo, and that is fine. Just live link doing it.
Anyone know the cause? Its when i record using metahuman animator. All recordings with audio have a bad buzzing noise drowning out the audio.

Am I the only person experiencing this?
It only does it with livelink app. I cant even report it to the developer it seems.

Hey there @Genjon1! I’ve heard reports of a light buzzing during playback, though no user had responded when I checked in. The recording is coming from the live link face app correct?

Yes, when i record takes for metahuman animator, all recorded takes have a buzzing sound over powering the audio, and its only in this app.

Thanks! Going to do a bit of testing on my side to see if it’s universal, may I also know your device hardware/specs?

Iphone 12 pro running 17.03. 128gb

Have you discovered any solutions?

No solution yet, though I confirmed some devices are experiencing it, but not all devices. Going to prepare a bug report for the app team in the meantime.

Thanks, hope they can sort it swiftly. Thats very strange that its doing it on some but not others. Is there any correlation between ios version?
Im normaly not an iphone user, and i heard reports of updates messing the phone up, so ive not updated to latest version.
I only bought this phone second hand to use with UE5.

IOS version may have an impact, but my sample size is 3 devices, so I’ll have to rely on the team to discern that for certain. Updates could go either way, they are often fine but sometimes can cause issues for a limited time while things update.

Your 3 devices. Are they iphone 12 pro or different models? Which models have the problem?

Currently 12/12 pro (iOS 17.2.1) and 13 (iOS 17.3.1). The audio artifacting was confirmed on both 12s, and I was still waiting to be able to test the 13.

I have also encountered such a situation where there is a lot of noise and there is still no solution. My phone is iPhone 12 Pro Max, running on iOS 17.4.1. If anyone knows the solution, please let me know. Thank you.

okay, I have the same buzzing noise when recording in the livelink app → iphone 12 pro Max … looks like its an iphone 12 problem ?

I have the same issue. Having to additionally record, edit and sync audio externally is ridiculous. Please fix this issue asap.

Hey there @Vindicator_9! Welcome back to the community! I’d recommend submitting an updated bug report if possible. It might help it in priority.

Same problem here, tested on iPhone 12 and 13. Got a new phone because I thought it was an issue with the 12 :frowning: gonna make a report.
