iPhone 14 Pro microphone issues in camera app

Hi!

when i use the camera app to record a video or a "quick take"

the only sound i get upon playing those videos is a static-like crackling sound.

there are no mic issues using any other app, voice memos are fine, face time calls are fine, siri doesn't have a problem understanding me either. the speakers work fine too, playing music or watching clips / movies isn't a problem. the phone's IOs is up to date.

i've tried restarting the phone, resetting it, turning off "record stereo sound" and various other tips i found online - but nothing helped. The crackling sound is still the only sound i capture with the camera app.

please help.

thank you
