Is there a way to fix the static/noise problem in Record Audio comments in Acrobat?

[Tony Els]

• Using the Record Audio comment feature creates a very poor quality sound file.
• The issue relates to heavy static/background noise that overlays each audio file.
• It is not related to the audio recording equipment & no other software is involved.
• This problem appears to be at least 5 years old.
• Add this to a development cycle and provide a timeline for this fix please.

I have driven myself insane trying to figure out why this happens... Literally shocked to find out the problem is over a decade old. Is there no intent by Adobe to fix this at all?

If you're using a Mac laptop you must unplug it.

Windows. Tried different laptops, differen audio sources (including an external mic) - no difference whatsoever.

Also noticed that if I forget to strain my voice to beat the background noise, it somehow records in this sort of "fade in" mode where the beginning of the comment is entirely inaudible.

Thanks for this, I didn't know about it - couldn't find anything related so just reported it now.
