Since yesterday the caller mic of my HTC One is recording only random noise anymore (checked with the audio recording app and the HTC diagnosis app).
It is always full volume white noise, independent of the actual audio in the room. This is not just muffling or so.
I'm on ARHD 41.0 for a while now and I have S-ON. I have not changed anything low level (rom, etc) for weeks.
Secondary mic is fine. Headset is also fine.
Any ideas how this could happen and how to fix it?
Thanks!
Browsing the web a bit I found a solution proposed by somebody who had the same problem: Blowing air into the microphone hole fixes the problem.
I'm not sure how long it will work, but at least for now it is ok again.

I'm having an issue with my Nexus One, it doesn't seem to record audio when recording video through the Camera app, all I can hear is a little mechanical noise. The weird thing is, the camera records audio fine when I install another camera app such as UCam Ultra Camera... meaning it must be a software problem right? However, this problem started last week on my N1 with stock ROM (never rooted), and since I started having the problem I thought I would root and flash with CM7.2 but that didn't solve anything.
I hear the phone has 2 mics, one by the charging port and one on the back by the camera. The one on the back by the camera works fine when I use speaker phone or play music, and the one by the charging port works fine because I can make and hear calls. So the microphones seem to be fine to me, but the camera won't record audio!
Anyone have any ideas? Could UCam be using a different mic than the camera app leaving it still a hardware problem? I'm open to DIY, I would like to replace the mic on the back actually because I feel thats the problem, but I can't find one and don't know how to replace it, if anyone has any resources it would be appreciated.
I've searched around, there are many people with this problem, but no answers. Here are three threads that attempted to find solutions, I hope this will be more successful.

I have this problem too, but I have a Samsung Galaxy S3. I flashed a few roms, and somewhere along the line, my camera app has no audio and all I hear is some constant white noise in the background. Exactly as you describe. Other apps' audio and mics work fine. I can't find a solution.
Same issue here with the edition of the mic not working when in speaker phone mode.
I was rooted 4.1.2 tried unrooting relocking and flashing stock but no joy. I think this is a hardware issue
Hey guys,
If during a call I put my HTC on speaker, the person on the other hears a lot more whitenoise / background crackle than normal (I think all sound captured through the HTC mic gets louder for the other side). Does anyone experience this or have I got a faulty unit?

I had a similar problem HTC one, had to RMA it for repair, HTC replace the upper main board which house the microphone.
Do you have problem when taking picture with Zoe and video recording? Mine was not record any sound but crackle and noise. All of these problem relate to a defective microphone.

Just tried recording a video for the first time - seems OK, a bit soft but not sure if that's a defect. So in your case, was it that normally the other person could hear you fine, but if you put the One on speaker the other person would suddenly hear more background crackle?

Yes normal phone call was ok. When put on speaker phone the other end only have bad static noise and crackle. Bad static noise and crackle when recording video and taken zoe picture. Seems like you may not have my issues since you can record video with sound ok.
Ah OK Do you still have issues with crackle when on Speaker? I really don't want to do another RMA, done about 7 so far, so if its just a feature of the Ones then I'll just live with it
The other day i noticed really weird problem/bug when receiving incoming call.
When proximity/light/whatever sensors are covered (i.e phone sitting on desk with screen facing the desk) while receiving call, i get no ringtone sound from top speaker, bottom one is working fine.
I tried to disable beats audio, unchecking "quiet ring on pickup" and "pocket mode" in sound settings, i disabled some apps which might cause such behavior like Viber etc.
Oh, and i did factory reset few days ago, so this should not be the problem. Maybe it was present before factory reset, but i didn't really noticed because i changed my ringtone and it's really really noticeable with it.
Otherwise, i don't have any problems with speakers besides this one.. when i watch youtube, play games or listen to music everything is working as it should.
I'm 100% stock, unrooted - for now, running latest OTA (3.62.401.1).
What could be the problem? Anyone else with same issue?
Anyone?
Maybe your ringtone is mono, not stereo
Sent from HTC One 802w Dual Sim with my hand...
Nope, i tried multiple ringtones and same problem occurs.
Ok, one last bump.. this "problem" occurs even with latest OTA update (4.4.2), can anyone test it and report if it's normal or not?
I tried CM 11 and OmniRom and there was no such problem..
I confirm this issue on desire 820

I am facing the same issue on my recently purchased HTC desire 820. The only difference is that the top speaker never plays the rringtone during an incoming call. However i can get hear from both the speakers when i receive the call and start the speaker phone.
Did you find any workaround to this? I can hardly know if i am getting a call when i am outdoors because of this problem.

No, sadly i didn't solve this issue.. i have One M8 now and it also has this same problem, so i guess it's "broken" by design across all HTC phones with boomsound speakers.
Only thing that solved it for me was custom rom (AOSP based, i'm not sure about Sense based), so it's pretty clear that it's software feature, issue or whatever they call it.
i have same problem on htc desire 820
I jave same problem here on desire 820

Posting in the right forum could help
Desire 820 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-820
The only suggestion I can give without knowing particularly this device is to go back to stock rom if you are using a custom one to look if its software related only. A factory reset is also something you want to try (backup your files first)
Hey folks,
I had the problem with the stock ROM and now I have the similar problem with jackeagels 5.5.1 (SM-G800F).
My microphone works sometimes and sometimes doesn't. People I want to call can't hear me. Eventually after a few calls they do. This is a state I don't want to stay in so does one has any idea what the problem could be? A while ago I pulled some dust out of the mic hole (with a needle) but that doesn't seem to be the problem here
Mines always been dust in the hole. Get compressed air can and blast it. Very annoying.
Hey Guys!
I have a similar problem but only when I use the internal mic, the problem does not occur when I use my headset.
Sometimes, the people I'm calling say that they can hear me very quietly.
Mostly, they say that they hear a constant noise or sound like a "bom bom bom" which is in the background. I can't hear this sound myself and as I said it does not occur when the headset is plugged in.
Any help is appreciated!
Regards, Jens
What phone model? What OS?
The main mic is at the bottom, near USB port. Recording a voice note without earphone, of course, works? The mic hole is dirt or blocked somehow?

Thanks for your reply.
It is a G800F with CyanogenMod 13.
I tested the issue after my initial post with the voice recorder in detail.
So the sound is a kind of buzzing like in the early days of mobile phones when you put your phone near a radio and you get an incoming call.
When I record with the voice recorder, then I hear the buzzing. It is stronger when I say something and quiter when I record silence. Then I also made the same test with my headset, and, unfortunately the buzzing also occured. The intensity was bit lower I think but the sound was there.
Unfortunately, I never tested it with the stock rom. Could this problem be related to a software problem? I'm not sure if I backup my CM and install a stock rom for testing...
Thx!
Yeah, the best way to mak sure it's not software is backup and going back to stock. If it still doesn't work then you have a hardware issue almost certainly...
Is anybody finding the microphone on their Mix to be too quiet? When I use snapchat, skype, and phone calls, the person on other end complains that I'm barely audible. However, when I record something with the recorder app, it sounds much louder and clearer than a recording in snapchat under the same conditions. I have a feeling it's the noise cancelling microphones on top that are muffling the main microphone, but I don't have a way to test this. I've checked the mic grille for debris and already cleaned as much as I can without disassembling the phone. I don't think it's a hardware issue, because again, the issue seems to be app-dependent. I had this problem on stock MIUI 8 global, but now I'm running the latest RR build with Dragonxia, and the above scenarios still hold true. Anybody else experiencing microphone issues or has any idea how to solve this?
What case are you using? Maybe you've got one that blocks some of the mic holes? I use mine naked and haven't had a problem with microphone on miui 8. There are known mic issues on RR/Lineage ROMs.
