Just tried it out. Wasn't too sure about the mic on the back in the first test, but it's definitely active in the second.

See now to me the sample of the arc recording is far too loud , if anything I personally think it sounds distorted, granted it's only recording traffic but still sounds too loud.
The neo sample sounds a lot more to my liking, at the right sort of level to hear nicely without causing just a mass of noise.
I agree that on those exact samples at GSMArena.com, it sounds terrible on the Arc example, but it isn't the best example to use either.
I have an example where the sound from the Arc recording is clear and crisp, and when playing the recording from the Neo, volume has to be turned up before being able to hear what people say.

I will do another recording with my friends arc & my neo & get them uploaded asap as when we did a recording it was in our office building & to us they sounded the same.
Looking forward to that. Meanwhile, I'm pondering about putting together an mp3 demonstrating the audio by different devices.
I did 3 tests, comparing Neo with Aino, N82 and Arc. Both Aino, N82 and Arc had about the same volume, while Neo's volume was much lower. Only Vivaz comes lower.

Most probably a software issue rather than hardware, they probably haven't noticed it or didn't think too much of it. I'm sure SE would look into it if you made enough noise

From what I read in reviews even though the Neo is the same spec wise as the Arc. Reviews have said that the screen is worse & even the camera. But yes that does sound like a software issue. I would perhaps wait & email
cos believe it or not they do listen. Cos I emailed them once asking about the poor volume in the x10 earpiece. In the last x10 update
said that it will enhance earpiece audio. I am not sure if it has but it shows they took what I said on board. So if you mail it to them they will hopefully fix it in an update.

Then you must be unlucky & have 2 faulty neo's from the same batch coz there's no way it sounds that low on my Neo & I reckon a few other Neo owners will vouch the same.
it's defo not a widespread problem with Neo owners as never read / seen anyone on other forums mention any kind of audio issue like the one you're having.
Most of the reviews are talking out of their bums , the camera is the same in Neo as the Arc & the pics are almost identical but I would not use the word "worse".
That makes it sound terrible when it fact it takes some amazing pictures.

It's been very difficult for me accepting that the audio should be like that, so it's good to finally hear someone agree with me. No one else does, including Sony Ericsson Xperia support. Of course, they haven't heard the audio from
my Neo, but they were convinced the Neo was built with lower audio-recording on purpose.
Anyone else who'll agree that something is wrong with the audio recorded from my Neo in
the previous mp4 example file?

Found an example at YouTube that shows the same result.
Video recorded with Arc:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePWybgugZUA
Same video recorded with Neo:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omopr1hZHqc
The audio on the Arc video is clearly
much cleaner and louder and better than the Neo recording.
As far as I can see, those videos are uploaded by a user from Hungary. Whether Hungary got Neo's from the same batch as Denmark or not, I don't know. But at this point it's getting increasingly difficult to determine if this is just how all Neo's behave, or if we're talking only a certain batch of Neo's.
Still waiting for someone to come up with example videos done by Neo + Arc at the same time, that shows a different results. If anyone is able to do this, then there should be no doubt that it is infact a certain batch of Neo's that are flawed.

you want the arc inside your neo?
seems like you're only after the HD video recording, then why dont go for a hd videocam instead?
after all, its not only HD video the neo can offer.
