Weird issue here, when im in a call no one can hear me. They can only hear me fine when I press the speakerphone button. I tried using voice recorder as well and no audio recorded. I know there are two mics, but do they switch when you turn on speakerphone? So maybe one mic is blown?

Adjacent to the USB input on the bottom of the phone will be the microphone. Try gently clearing it out with a safety pin to see if there's any gunk in there.
There's been known issues with the built in noise cancellation interferring with the bottom microphone. Try covering the back mic (the one that's top right of the camera) and talk into the bottom mic to see if you can hear anything. I don't believe there is a known fix yet for this issue for the Sprint HTC One if you have noise cancellation problems.
Viper ROM 5.7 has a setting to disable noise suppression, but that didn't work for me. I hear there's two noise cancellations. One built into Android and another for HTC. The Viper ROM setting disables only the HTC setting, not the android one.
I had this issue too and had to do a small "song and dance" with an HTC rep to trouble shoot the phone. They eventually agreed with my conclusion that the phone was broken. They sent me a replacement since I was under factory warranty and I haven't had any problems since. Best to call HTC and put in a trouble ticket.
Yeah might be a combination of both, just weird that it works only when I hit the speakerphone button while in a call. Thanks
I have had that issue sporadically on my one since the latest firmware update. Happens for no reason occasionally.Never did it with old firmware. When I have time I want to try reverting to older firmware to see if the issue is resolved.
I have had this problem for months. Speakerpho e works because it uses a separate Mic on the back of the phone on top.
The problem Mic is on the phone bottom near the charging port. Today I called my house pho e and screamed into the bottom Mic for two minutes and it's alive again for the fitst time in months!
How long I dunno worth a shot though since using speaker gets annoying.

Hi All,
Noticed last night when streaming some videos on Youtube that the top speaker wasn't working. Tried to power off and back on a couple of times and that didn't work...starting thinking I'd got a hardware issue, but on the off chance tried the Restart function which resolved the problem.
Thought I'd share incase anybody else has this issue and goes down the hardware replacement route without trying a reset first...

I had the exact same problem with mine except the bottom speaker wasn't working. If you tapped the rear casing when music was playing you could hear the distorted music coming through so it must have been a blown speaker.
I took mine back to the retailer and then replaced it there and then.
My speakers both work but the top speaker sounds distorted at moderate volume. It sounds like it is blown.
mars2le2: after you reset your phone did the speaker start working again? if so was the sound nice and clear or did it sound distorted?
is beats audio on?
Mine crackles with beats on and off. I can cover the top speaker with my finger and the bottom speaker sounds great. No issues with headphones either.
I have requested a replacement phone from letstalk. Keep you posted.

My lower speaker sometimes doesn't work. Happened 3 times but after a reboot it fixes itself.

My top speaker was definitely blown. I got a replacement phone and all is well.

Anyone out there having issues with your mic "not working"
Well I have.
I have tried different fixes found on the net to no avail.
Soundabout app which switches where your audio is routed and such. Also fixes your phone if its "stuck " in headset mode. This worked for like 1 day then it went back to the caller not hearing me.
I tried easy voice recorder pro that didnt work.
I tried faux kernel and his app to boost the mic gain..... no go there either.
Some even said 4.3 update fixed... not for me.
I even fastbooted the .img Still a no go.
I could speak directly into the mic and the other end could barely hear me. If i held the phone normal ...nada.
If i put the call on speaker the top mic switched in and all was great....
I just about ordered myself a replacement mic and charger port board when I decided to take a look at the build prop.
I found an entry that had mic in it so I googled that entry and came up with Noise Cancelation. hmmmm
Here is the build prop....
"persist.audio.handset.mic.type"
Using ROM toolbox I changed its values from "digital" to "analog" rebooted and voila Callers could hear me again.
I'm only going on one day with no issues.
I've been banging my head, searching, and reading to solve the issue. I saw where several people had to RMA their new devices one dude had 4 replacements and was still experiencing the issue.
For everyone experiencing this issue I hope it helps

Thanks. I flashed back to stock + unroot, guess I'm gonna try your method once again.
ok
Can you please demonstrate how you did this exactly. I'm really don't want to have to import parts.
Hello guys, I have recently purchased HTC one, and flashed Cyanogenmod 10.1 and teamseven AOSP kernel on it. I noticed there is issue with microphone during calls. Distand end cannot hear me or it sounds extremely low/muffled, but when I put it on speaker phone, issue goes away. Also after few min it sometimes randomly decides to work. I have tried to flash Android Revolution 22.1 (4.3) to see if the issue will go away, but it is still persisting. I would appreciate any help I can get, thank you
Just a quick update, I did more research on this issue and it seems like a common issue with newer HTC One models. Noise Cancellation seems to be the problem, since talking to the phone at certain angle seems to might the issue go away. I even tried restoring my phone to the stock, and even tried the disable noise cancellation fix that is around in the forums, but it did not make the issue go away completely. This is my second HTC One in 3 days, first one had a nasty dead pixel, and now microphone issue. I will take it back to AT&T store and get it replaced again. I'm not sure what is going on with the quality of the phone on newer models, since I've had the Developer's Edition and AT&T model on launch day and both were perfectly fine. Is anyone here having the same issue and found a fix for it?
Another quick update, I seem to have fixed the issue by SCREAMING into the bottom microphone hole during call for a minute to see if I can fix the volume, and it might be hard to believe but issue has gone away. I read this in another thread about the microphone issue, someone posted by screaming into the hole, you are adjusting the volume gain and fixing the issue. I recommend trying it if you are having the same problem, since I've literally tried everything else and this fixed it for me.
I have similar issue. For more I noticed random disconnections during call.
it worked !!!
It worked....

your speaker works where you can hear the call but if you talk into it the person on the other end cannot hear you.
It has been broken in AOSP for quite some time now. CM 10.2 STABLE has the same issue.
The only working rom with speakerphone is GPE/sense based ones.

My HTC One has extremely low in call volume from the mic. I can hear the person I am calling or who called me fine but they can't hear me or barely able to hear me. I downloaded a sound recorder app and when I talk into the mic in that app it plays back at a reasonable volume. Would a different radio file fix this problem?
I had this issue with my One X for awhile, come to find out, there was lint stuffed up in the mic hole.. Check that first.

I am having the same problem. when I am in call, if i switch to speaker phone it instantly becomes loud clear. I am going to RUU back to stock GPE or stock Sense to see if it fixes the problem.
Ill report back to you if it does.

I have the same problem with my replacement phone. I'm sending it back to TMO for another. From what I've read it seems like a hardware issue related to the noise cancelling microphone.

My nexus 5 arrives tomorrow. Once I have that in hand, I am going to fully wipe my HTC One, RUU back to stock and S ON the phone to be sent back to HTC for a replacement. I will test the microphone before sending it back to see if the full RUU fixes it but I doubt it will.
I flashed several diff firmwares, h boots, kernels, roms etc on the phone and none of them had an effect of the mic. The microphone problem appeared out of no where when I was running a rom and kernel combination that previously had no issues. In other words, I changed nothing and the problem arose. No combination of software changes yielded any improvement in my limited testing. I am quite sure this is not a solvable problem as it is hardware related and that you should likely send your phone in for a replacement.
Hey there!
I am very happy with my HTC One even after the announcement of the M8, but since a few days I have a very strange problem.
Every time I try to take a call, I need to enable the speaker, since the one I am calling with can't hear me without.
It seems like my voice is there, but really really quite.
I was using Viper One till today and it happened between 5.60 and 5.70, but today I changed the rom to see whether it could be a rom problem and using now InsertCoin SixthSense 1.0.1.
My HTC One is unlocked, S-OFF and of course rooted... any idea, what could fix my really quite voice, instead of screaming or using the speaker the whole time? I don't like it, when everybody can hear me talking on the phone, I'm no Eric Cartman.
Record some video with very loud sounds. Try blowing or whistling directly into the mic . Sounds crazy but it has worked for others.

Will try both "fixes" tomorrow.
So it's a already known problem for some users?
Btw: I tried to use Shazam and it also nearly identifies no music, even if it is in front of the speaker. So it has to be something with the normal mic. But why does it work flawlessly, when talking with the speaker enabled?
I suppose it could affect all mic functions. I personally experienced this with phone calls and personally fixed it with loud recordings (as did others), i didn't check shazam ..

Okay tried it a few days ago with whistling directly into the mic and it didn't fixed my problem.
So I decided to try the extremely loud recording and it sadly also didn't worked.
But I found out, that it has been gotten worse than before. My recordings on 29.03 went with a few quite whistles, but my recording yesterday couldn't record any whistle at all and only got music, after I increased the volume to +300 and it's still really quite.
I also tried to flash a new radio and kernel, none of them fixed anything.
So I guess, flashing back to stock and bringing it to a repair station is the last chance I have?
