Working with microphone audio in Power Apps

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I am trying to build an application that can be used from various platforms such as phone and a browser. When I try and save the audio using my phone's microphone, I am not able to play the same in a desktop. I have used the JSON function to the convert the audio file but the output produced when used from browser and app is totally different. The output from the mobile app is as follows

TempFiles/microphone-audio324004184795122229.3gp

I use SharePoint Online to store the data.

Is there a way I can play this from the browser or any other way I can achieve this?

Hoping someone can help me out with this issue.

Thanks & Regards

Srinath

Hi @Anonymous ,

Do you want to play the audio recorded in your Android device within other different devices or browser?

The Important thing you need to know is that -- the Audio recorded through is stored in 3gp format in Android, AAC format in iOS, and OGG format in web browsers.

Based on the issue that you mentioned, I have made a test on my side, if you want the audio record captured in your Mobile device to be played well in web browser, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs.

When you capture the audio record in your web browser, and save it back to your SP List (using JSON function), the saved value format looks like below:

ata:audio/webm;base64,GkXfo59ChoEBQveBAULygQRC84EIQoKEd2VibUKHg.....

but when you capture the audio record in your Mobile device, the saved value format looks like below:

temp/recording_F2EFA810-9A3D-4CEF-B5E9-21C2D689F27F-9957-00000B71D1BE2FE0.aac // iOS device
TempFiles/microphone-audio324004184795122229.3gp // Android device

Currently, the ACC format and 3GP format of Audio data could not be played within web browser. If you would like this feature to be added in PowerApps, please submit an idea to PowerApps Ideas Forum:

Hi @v-xida-msft ,

So there is no way to achieve this, even if I use the audio file as an attachment.

It'll be great if you can clarify this, so that I can let the client know that this is not currently supported in Power Apps.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Currently, I think there is no way to achieve your needs in PowerApps. The Audio is stored in different format in Android device, iOS device and web browser.

Saving the audio content as an attachment file of a SP List Item also could not achieve your needs.

Best regards,
