Hi,
Sorry for slight necro, but I didn't want to post a new thread when it was already on the board :/
This problem has been driving me NUTS! Since ICS hit my phone I have also lost mic in speakerphone mode...which renders speakerphone almost useless.
I have flashed several different kernels and ROMs and all have had the same issue, I always wipe data/cache/dalvik when flashing and with the last flash i also fixed permissions and still have the same problem. The mic itself works fine in voice search etc, but when you toggle speakerphone on it is muted.
My latest flash was to Hydracore kernel with BlackCNA 2.1 ROM (my first time trying an non-samsung ROM and I love it). Does anyone know if this is a kernel/ROM issue??

have also tested the BlackCNA 2.1 ROM and I have not had to issue. It must come from your speaker

Is it possible this is a hardware fault? The mic works flawlessly in all other scenarios (that I have tried), Google voice search works perfectly. Could powering on the speaker short the mic somehow?

Franco kernel was discontinued after 4.0.3 i suggest you flash a hydracore kernel

I'm on a hydracore kernel 4.3 oc

as mentioned there are 2 mics on not.. its possible that the apps are picking up sound from the botton mic and the top mic is faulty

Ah, I missed that in the post above. Is there any way to test the hardware separately to rule out kernel or rom?

[Q] Speakerphone/Earpiece Quiet after CWM

HI All,
I've noticed for some time now that before I flash a new ROM, when I go back to stock JF6 the audio in the boot up screen will blow your doors off. After flashing CWM, the audio is there but it is must less pronounced. I've also noticed that while using the speakerphone or the earpiece during regular calls, I struggle to hear the caller on the other end. It's fine before I flash CWM.
Anyone run into this before and if so, what can be done about it?
Thanks in advance!
Dan
I too have been wondering about the volume. I thought it was the rom I was running. I'm currently on phoenix 4.5 with firebird 2 v0.7 kernel. It seems like my volume is lower when I call another cell but fine if I call a land line.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i noticed this too. i use speakerphone alot, and it IS quieter now i use custom roms, and i use speakerphone MORE NOW because the earpeice is hard to hear.
Fix for Low Ear Peice abd Speaker Volume
I am not a programmer but I was wondering with all the talent on this site why is it impossible to have a fix for the terrible in-call volume the Captivate has. I have tried the settings in the service menus, but havent seen anything worth while.
Non of those settings stay past a reboot anyway.
The phones hardware is able to output the louder sound, I dont understand why we cant fix the low in-call volume on the earpeice and the speaker phone?
HELP!!!!!!
this post beat you by a few hours and is a little more specific/accurately worded (your post isnt a fix)

Thread merged with a similar one. I think the poster above U is asking a question (interrogative icon) and not stating he is posting a fix.
Cheers,
I noticed that it's CWM that is killing the audio (for me at least) before I flash a new ROM.

Some calls are quiet cm7 nightly glitch jvs baseband

Hi, some incoming calls are silent for me, the other side can understand me anyway.
Calls, which i understand, are way too loud. Reflashed the jvs modem through rom manager. Did not solve anything.
Glitch supports voodoo, may be this is causing the problem of the loudness?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Are you saying that even if you turn the volume all the way up, it's still too quiet?
it is completely silent. Dont want to say muted, because that would probably indicate a problem with my phone speaker. But its not. It is like there is no call accepted. It happens randomly i think. and even if i turn on the speaker or plug in a headset the problem still exists.
Calls which i am able to answer, are too loud. This one belongs to voodoo i think or other sound related settings.
additional info: live in Europe, had same issues with several other Roms (ie myICS, where they told me to reflash my modem)

Known issue, if you put the call on hold and unhold you will get sound back. If you want to help solve it, you should go back to stock kernel and post pastebin link to logcat and kmsg in the cm7 nightly thread.
Edit: nvm you are on MIUI. You will only get flamed if you post anything from that ROM in cm7 thread :O

Why I'll lost my sound during calls??

I just faced a problem. I've my Note flashed to stock ICS and rooted last month. But this week, problems came. During call, I can suddenly can't hear anything, or the sound become blur. Is this because of signal problem or I should change a modem?? Will reflash the stock ICS help??
Try making a call with the headset. If you can hear ok, you may have a hardware issue with the speaker, best to verify if it's hardware or software first.

Same issue here.
Tried to update the modem but no luck.

[Q] no speakerphone with latest cm nightly

yeah same here. nothing
Could be three things:
1. A bad flash
2. A bug
3. Bad download (sometimes happens when using chrome on pc or cell)
If it is a bug hopefully it'll be fixed soon, if it was a bad flash just flash it again or using another recovery to flash the rom.
Yup I just noticed today. Mi e doesn't work either. It's a bug customers I flashed this room twice as well as downloaded a couple times. Other than that and crappy in call volume and music it's Ok lol

I have a fix for it. Search for viper4android it increases all volume but in call volume witch sux. I'm looking for a way to fix that as well. Other than that it really works trust me

Microphone not working in call. Please help.. :(

Suddenly my Microphone not working in call. People at the other end can't hear me at all (both normal or in speaker phone). However if I use wired headset or Bluetooth headset in call the everything is fine.It was working fine (I was at CF Rom sutl44 with exposed) then it suddenly stop working since a week ago.
My phone is Verizon Droid Turbo XT1254 bootloader unlocked with sunshine.
At first I thought that maybe my mic is dead but it is not. The voice recorder app (Hi-Q MP3 recorder) can still record from the mics without problem.
I read a lot of this issue and mostly because of software problem, so I tried all that I can think of.
I have reset my phone, even do a full wipe and start clean install but the problem still same.
I flash full stock odexed firmware (sutl44 or 49) with same result.
I flashed resurrection remix rom (the latest) still same problem.
I changed build prop as per some people suggest but still same problem.
From the hardware side, I disassembled my phone and clean mic holes, check mics condition, all seems fine. When I tried using the voice recorder it can register any sound or even touch so the mics are working and sensitive.
FYI, this phone has 5 mics, I checked and tested (with voice recording) them when I disassembled the phone. All are working fine.
I'm really desperate right now.. I love this phone and this is my main phone. I will appreciate any help or suggestions.
Maybe some ROM recommendation that may fix the mics problem.
I just flashed RR Marshmallow to see if I get any luck but unfortunately no.. mic still not working in call.
I tried to remember when this problem start to happen.. I guess it was after I install GravityBox in Xposed and start played around with the GB settings.
I have TWRP backup before I install that GB, I tried to restore the backup but still mic not working in call.
Did Xposed can change something very basic (like a 'driver' in windows) that can't be changed back by re-flash or load a TWRP backup?
Because somehow I think that this 'driver' or 'library' for mic in call is bad or gone.
Please.. any suggestion?
This might be a long shot, but I just had the same issue. After making a call using Google Hangouts, it started working again for me.

tertiary
Remove your tertiary microphone. It is the lower right when looking at the back. After this you must ground your audio output pin or you will get buzzing sound during recordings and conversation. This pin will be lower left out of the four where microphone was removed, there will be a chevron shape beside it which is a convenient ground location. This problem as far as I can tell happened after a security update from Verizon. I realize this sounds like a bogus fix but it made my phone work GREAT. This microphone is picking up your voice as well as the main mic and causing noise reduction to the point of no audio.

Since it's a software based issue, flashing a ROM different from stock firmware wouldn't fix it? He said he tried flashing Resurrection Remix.
BHB27 kernel's problem
I don't read your post carefully, so I don't know if your ROM and kernel is same to me, but I have similar problem in last few days. Finally, I find the problem is the custom kernel, the lastest BHB27 kernel, when I flash the old version custom kernel, the problem is solved. I hope this information can help you.
My ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-mpg24-107-70-2-brazilian-6-0-1-t3426234
Kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/development/kernel-bhb27-kernel-t3207526
The new kernels have problem, so I flash back to BHB27-Kernel-V201-8-M.zip
i was able to solve the issue by plugging in a headset and then unplugging it. sometimes some dirt/junk get stuck in there, and the phone thinks that it is plugged in, thus muting audio out except through the jack.
I have the same problem, you fixed this problem in your phone?
I try RR (Android L, M and N), CRDROID (Android N) and NX (Android M). In all of this ROMs, I have the same problem.

After nougat update in Moto M mic not working.
I was not ready to do a factory reset. But there is no other option to fix mic issue after nougat update.
So, last night kept back up of all important folder and run factory reset without automatic restore.
Now, everything looks fine to me. Incoming and outgoing calls are working fine.
So, I am suggesting everyone to do a factory reset, this is one and only option to fix mic issue.
Thanks,
Saurav Sinha
