We have the same problem. Did you find any solution to fix this? Some more information: This seems to happen if the recorder is directly stopped after starting the recording, i.e. not holding the recording button.

Could you try adding requestLegacyExternalStorage = "true" on AndroidManifest.xml?

We worked around this now with keeping track of the recording time and using a timeout to stop the recording if too little time has passed (<100ms). Something like this:

const minRecordingTime = 100
const [recordingTime, setRecordingTime] = useState<number>(0)

const onStopRecording = async (): Promise<void> => {
  audioRecorderPlayer.removeRecordBackListener()
  if (recordingTime < minRecordingTime) {
    // If the button is just tapped and the recording is stopped to fast, an error is thrown from which it is not possible to recover
    // https://github.com/hyochan/react-native-audio-recorder-player/issues/490
    setTimeout(() => {
      audioRecorderPlayer.stopRecorder().catch(reportError)
    }, minRecordingTime)
    return
  }
  try {
    const recordingPath = await audioRecorderPlayer.stopRecorder()
    if (recordingPath.includes('file://')) {
      onAudioRecorded(recordingPath)
    }
  } catch (e) {
    // do something with errors
  }
}

const onStartRecording = async (): Promise<void> => {
  if (recordingTime !== 0) {
    return
  }
  try {
    await audioRecorderPlayer.startRecorder(undefined, undefined, true)
    audioRecorderPlayer.addRecordBackListener(async e => {
      setRecordingTime(e.currentPosition)
      if (e.currentPosition > maxRecordingTime) {
        await onStopRecording()
      }
    })
  } catch (error) {
    // do something with errors
  }

return (
  <RecordIcon
    onPressIn={onStartRecording}
    onPressOut={onStopRecording}
    isPressed={isPressed}
    testID='record-audio-button'>
    <MicrophoneIcon width={theme.spacingsPlain.xxl} height={theme.spacingsPlain.xxl} />
  </RecordIcon>
)
