this is my first shot at running CM on any phone and it's been great so far. There were a couple hurdles I had to navigate due to my phone being a slightly different model that the majority of them (5830D via Koodo), but all in all it's working great.
The one stand out problem that's driving me nuts: If I put a call on speakerphone, they can hear themselves talk and report being able to hear all sorts of background noise with great ease. I tried searching here for people sharing similar problems but nothing came up. Google left me hanging too.
Is there anything I can do to remedy this problem or is it a bug with CM?

I have had a lot of problems using my speaker phone on the tytnii. To summarize, most of the time when i use the speaker phone, the person i am calling cannot hear me though i can hear them. This does not happen all the time; but more often than not (more than 50%).
Now here's where it gets strange. A person in another forum said to try initiating a call without being on speaker and begin speaker after both of you have talked. I tried this and it seems so far that my speaker is working better using this approach though i dont no why.
I am far from saying that this resolves my problem; but do find it interesting. I just started doing this so cant say for sure if it always will cause the speaker to work; but so far it seems to be working though i still have gotten complaints that i sound like im in a tunnel or something; but atleast they can hear me.
I guess the real test will come when i am in my diesel truck as there is a lot of background noise. At any rate, just some information i'd like to share as i would like to get some feed back from other users who might also like to try this to see if the results are reproducible. Hopefully, next update will resolve the speaker phone issue as this is a work around at best; but who knows.
Same
I too share the same problem. Although i have an Tilt. Same diff i suppose. I can agree with your method, and same complaints when it does work. I too have not found an exact answer to this problem.
Things like voice search/translate/etc don't pick up any voice input. During calls, nobody can hear me even if I can hear them perfectly. Fiddling with mute/speaker doesn't seem to work, either. Volume/vibrate settings don't seem to change anything, either.
I've Googled this problem and haven't found anything that fits my problem (many people seem to get this working by hitting Speaker, but that doesn't work here).
What ROM you running, ect....?
Sounds like it just might be a hardware problems (bad mic)
Fit's ROM, Redstar kernel. It's all been working before -- haven't updated in a while and it used to all work just fine.
I would at least update to his latest build and see of it resolve it, o still think could be hardware related
I just discovered that my thin bumper case was totally screwing up my speakerphone mic's and even my touchscreen. I haven't a clue how it has been doing so, but it seems to be fixed. I just started a thread. Go here for the products I was using that caused these issues: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/case-screwing-touchscreen-microphones-t3039801
Hello fellas,
I just installed ICS from this link
The sound works fine when playing music or notifications or whatever I do.
But when I'm making or receiving a call, my sound doesnt work. My phone doesnt ring or hear it ring when making a call and nor can they hear me at all.
The only way I can make a phone call is through bluetooth which makes me think that the speaker on the phone isnt configured correctly.
If the ROM is the issue which rom do you recommend for my DROID 3?
Thanks for your help!
This is known issue people are experience with CM9, Gummy, and AOKP. MotoBlur + Android 4.0.4 is based of AOKP inheriting its issues. Usually a restart or two fixes the issue, but it is somewhat random. I believe the issue involves bluetooth but I guess no one really knows. I heard toggling bluetooth sometimes fixes it as well.
However you say it doesn't even ring, I have never had it not ring. But have experienced the rest.
Tried that
I've tried restarting several times, doing it again as I type.
When I've also tried to toggle bluetooth off during a call but it didnt work.
Should I reinstall the ROM?
Ok so I deleted all data and cache.
Re-installed the ROM again and it turns out that bluetooth is messing with my in-call sound. My phone rings now (by default there was no ringtone selected) but when I toggle bluetooth on I cannot hear anyone or anyone hear me.
Band aid: Keep bluetooth turned off until it gets fixed.
Thanks for your help Senate9690.
Is there a different rom out there for Droid 3?
About that band-aid
I run into a the no sound on calls as well. I'm running ICS and have always left the Bluetooth off. For me it seems to happen occasionally after I interrupt music/audio playback by removing the wired headphones from the jack or incoming call.
Just flushing the cache and rebooting letting the cache rebuild seems to fix it without the need to a re flash or factory reset. It is good to hear I'm not the only one experiencing the issue.
I ran into that issue with cm9 (selfkang) as well. Usually just toggling bluetooth off did the trick, and when it didn't, rebooting always worked. The sound issues were only in-call related, and notifications/ringtones worked just fine. I switched to Axiom and aside from the know in-call issues, toggling bt off works perfectly without rebooting.
In my opinion, Axiom is an excellent rom. My only drawback is the amount of battery sucked dry when the screen is on/keyboard out, however under very minimal use it has lasted well into the next day. Hash's original cm9 has prevailed as the battery king in my ICS D3 testing, but Axiom has made me a happy camper. I didn't spend much time with Gummy or the original AOKP though. That's the beauty in rom choices; different strokes for different folks

A lot of Android phones are having this issue. Try this app and see if it works. The Pro version lets you route sound during phone calls too!

Bluetooth Share?
Hi,
This is my first post, but I have encountered an issue similar to this before. I work for a company that makes Bluetooth headsets, primarily for truckers, and this is a fairly often related experience. I would describe it as "dead air" on a phone call. Often, if the headset supports it, the A2DP stream will be fine. I don't know why, or where we found this from, but we have found that often if a user goes into their application settings, to "All" apps, there will be an app there titled "Bluetooth Share". Sometimes there is more than one, but only one with show an amount of data. Going into this, clearing that data, then restarting the phone has been reported to help resolve this issue.
Try it, and see what happens. Not just Motorola phones do this either, but it seems to be associated with Android 4.0.x and up.
Thanks,
Alex.
I belive this rom has a bug where the speaker/earpiece doesn't work if Bluetooth is on.

Make sure bluetooth is off
I am a new G2 owner (and frankly a new and inexperienced Android user), and have been noticing some small, but annoying, issues with any KitKat 4.4.2 ROM that I flash to my Verizon G2. I'm wondering if anyone knows of why they exist, possible workarounds, or any general solutions/explanations. So far, I have tried a CM11 nightly from last weekend, and an AOKP nightly from yesterday.
Most of the issues exist during a phone call, and still occur even when I have full bars of LTE service.
For one, speakerphone volume is pitiful. With the volume maxed, I can still barely hear people speak. Non-speakerphone volume is fine.
Secondly, the facial sensor does not seem to function at all. When I end a call, or pull the phone away from my face mid-call, the screen stays black and I have to double-tap the screen to turn it back on.
Thirdly, I get this weird "tapping" noise through the earpiece (not the speaker) of the phone when I'm on a call. It is definitely a sound that is on the phone, although I havent been able to find the file for it...it's almost like the sound the OTA makes when you tap-on or tap-off, or like a bubble popping (anyone know the Facebook Messenger notification sound? Very similar). I havent been able to pinpoint what causes the sound to play...no combination of moving the phone around or pulling it away from/putting it back towards my face prompts it or makes it stop...it just happens. It is not constant, but over the course of a 30 minute phone call, I will hear it at least a dozen times. It usually plays two successive sounds. People I'm talking to do not hear it...only me.
Are these just issues we have to live with? At first I thought it was CM11, but after getting the same exact issues with AOKP...I'm wondering what the deal is?
All are known and being worked on. They are minor bugs that most users can deal with or find work arounds

Hey! So I have a really weird problem with this phone... Which i originally thought was a hardware problem, but I think I just confirmed that it's not. I will try to explain it:
Noteworthy Items:
1. Long phone calls
2. Wired headsets (I've tried at least 6 different earbuds)
3. This happened to me with the base MIUI, and a custom rom
I spend a good part of my phone time on phone calls, and from time to time, the person on the other line will tell me that they're not hearing audio from my earphone's mic anymore, but rather from the microphone on the phone (particularly like a speaker phone call). If I plug my earphones out and back in again, this fixes it. During this time, if I run my hand over the proximity sensor, my screen will go dark as if I was on call without headphones but all sound is still processing through my earbuds (I hear my caller fine). I installed a custom rom less than a week ago, and I'm still having the same issue so I thought it was hardware-related.
However, today I decided to do something different... I ended the call, and called back without touching any of the hardware (I didn't plug out my earphones or touch the connection in any way) and this fixed the audio issue. I did this three times already to make sure it wasn't a fluke. I'm very confused as to what could be causing this issue. Any ideas?
To confirm, I've used different earbuds but I've never tried to replicate this using wireless earphones (because I don't have any). The issue also happens more commonly if I'm moving too much (this is originally why I thought it was hardware related). If I keep still, or my phone doesn't move, I have this issue less frequently. If any other info is needed, I'm happy to provide, and happier for any help I receive. Thanks!
yea, I also have the same issue. I tried many solutions but still problem persist. has anyone got any solution?
Me too
