AudioRecord with Gain Adjustment not working on Samsung Device

Question

I have written code for recording audio file using AudioRecord and while writing file on SD card i am making two version.

Version 1 Recorde

Answer 1

Audio gain conrol To increase the amplitude of the audio u need to calculate the gain factor and multiply calculated gain factor with every sample captured. The following code does that. P.S. Ignore the unrelated code

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

public static final int SAMPLE_RATE = 16000;

private AudioRecord mRecorder;
private File mRecording;
private short[] mBuffer;
private final String startRecordingLabel = "Start recording";
private final String stopRecordingLabel = "Stop recording";
private boolean mIsRecording = false;
private ProgressBar mProgressBar;
float iGain = 1.0f;
CheckBox gain;

protected int bitsPerSamples = 16;

@Override
public void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.fragment_main);

    initRecorder();

    Button bluetooth = (Button)findViewById(R.id.blue);
    gain = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.checkBox1);
    mProgressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar);

    final Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.start);
    button.setText(startRecordingLabel);

    bluetooth.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            Intent i = new Intent("");
        }
    });
    gain.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {

        @Override
        public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView,
                boolean isChecked) {

            if (gain.isChecked()) {
                iGain = 5.0f;

            } else {
                iGain = 2.0f;
            }
        }
    });

    button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(final View v) {
            if (!mIsRecording) {
                button.setText(stopRecordingLabel);
