Audio distortion on existing video

Hello,

I recorded music with my Samsung A5 phone, my old phone had very good sound (but very poor video), so I never had any issues.

I would like to know if it's possible to adjust the sound on an existing video, or if the sound has clipped. Indeed, there are crackling noises that have made the video nearly unlistenable at times, but you can definitely hear the music behind the crackling.

Is it possible? If so, how and with which software? I can send video clips as examples if that can help find a solution.
Thank you for helping me save my video!

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 59.0.3071.115

    Thank you for your response, it's not for listening to music (I have the CDs and MP3s with clear sound for that :-) ) but to have decent sound on the video so I can watch it without grimacing because the crackling is very annoying.

    I will try Audacity. I have no knowledge, but I am patient...

      Audacity only manages audio, not video.
      For that, you'll need much more sophisticated software and I don't know any free ones.

      The ideal protocol would be:
      1- Extract/recover the sound
      2- Clean the sound
      3- Edit the new audio track in place of the old one in a video editing software
      4- Export the new video edit with the new audio track.

    Hello,

    The ideal solution, if it's for listening to music, would already be to extract the soundtrack to have just an mp3. You can find plenty of software through a Google search.

    Then, for processing the mp3, yes it is possible, but it will require either knowledge or trial and error.

    Many software options allow you to do this, but for free, you have Audacity to do what you want.
