Ok just for anyone that maybe having issues with their OSMO Action, here is how I fixed my issue.
When I got my Osmo Action on Christmas day, I gave it a full charge and tested out the Mimo app, whereby it said it would update the firmware on the camera.
I left it and come back to find the camera off and the Mimo app still open, but no confirmation of the firmware being 100% completed.
I checked the firmware on the camera and it said : Firmware: 01.10.00.40
I guess it had updated successfully.
But now the fun and games begun. Lots of little niggles, for example, I turned the beep sound off when starting/stop recording only to find it reset next time it was turned on.
The Screen Switch button on the side would sometimes change the screen, sometimes it would change my video resolution settings.
The camera wouldn't connect to the Mimo app.
The external recorded Sound was awful.
Lots of lag on the screen.
Etc.
Basically lots of little gremlins.
I had a feeling that the firmware update had caused a few issues and whilst it was saying that I had the latest firmware I didn't believe it had completed 100% successfully.
After hours of researching, I found out that its near impossible to refresh your firmware.
So many many hours of searching, I managed to locate an older firmware version on this forum, hidden deep in its depths.
(unfortunately I cannot now locate that exact post)
I flashed the Camera to this previous version of firmware and then flashed it back to the latest version direct from the DJi Website (not Mimo App)
and WALLLA! The Osmo Action is now working perfectly fine! Sound as well.
I think what is happening is when the Mimo app updates the camera, if there is any kind of time out, maybe Wi-Fi outage or the camera timing out, then the firmware doesn't complete 100%, and even though the camera says it has the latest firmware installed, its not completed 100% and there is no way of refreshing the firmware.
I have a feeling Dji will be getting lots of customers with the same issue sending back their OSMO actions, because its unusable if they update the camera like I did.
Hopefully this long post helps someone out!
