Microphone volume too low when using a Bluetooth Headset - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I recently bought a Bluetooth headset and wanted it to use for phone calls. But the problem that occurs is that the microphone volume is way too low. The person on the other end can't understand me. If I use the phones microphone it's fine and I'm pretty sure that the headset is also working fine.
I've read about this problem for other devices but there is only a device specific solution.
Is it a problem of Cyanogenmod? I use version 11 and one of the latest nightlies.
Can I somehow configure the volume of the microphone or is there something like a boost?
I think it's a software and not hardware related issue, so maybe there is a solution.
Best reagards,
Kacha13

[Q] Phone calls routed to internal speaker on wired or bluetooth headset.

Hi everybody. I have just got my new HTC One and I am really loving it. But I seem to have run into a major problem which I couldn't solve despite trying everything. Whenever I receive or dial a phone call while using a wired headset or bluetooth headset, I can hear the sound in the headset for a couple of seconds but then the call is routed by default to the internal speakers and mic. All this while the phone shows that the output is going to the headset. If I change it to the internal speaker and back again to the headset (wired or bluetooth), everything works normally and I can talk and hear through the headset. This problem only occurs with phone calls and I am able to listen to the music through headsets normally without any sound quality issue. I have searched on various internet forums but all in vain. A few more people were having this problem but no solution was in sight. I thought may be an upgrade would solve this problem but alas even after upgrading to the latest 4.3 update, the problems remains. Hope somebody here can help me with this problem.

Headphone mic not working in calls

I'm having an interesting issue, and none of the things I've found on forum search seem similar. I recently replaced my XT1053 Dev Edition due to a cracked screen. I have an Apple Earpod headset the used to work fine for calls...that is, I never really bothered getting the buttons to work, but the headphones output audio just fine, and the mic worked in calls so I could leave my phone in my pocket.
However, recently with the new phone, I'm having an issue with the headset. Now the mic doesn't work on phone calls. Phone audio and music output fine. The other weird thing is that, if I'm listening to music and someone calls, and I pick up the call with the headset in (then find the mic doesn't work), I'll unplug the headset to use the phone regularly...but when I do, the phone defaults to speaker mode for some reason.
Not sure if this is (hopefully) an easy software fix, but if anyone has insights, I'd love to hear them. I don't think it is the headphones, as they work in my wife's iPhone just fine.
Not compatible with the X. Sorry. ?
According to this reddit thread the mic will work if you hold down the center button while plugging in.
http://www.reddit.com/r/MotoX/comments/1x31i1/headphones_with_mic_that_work/
Actually, the iPhone headset DID work fine on my last Moto X before I had to replace it. I was able to listen to music and make calls with it, and the mic worked. I'm wondering why it doesn't work anymore, if there's some software fix to it not working.
Well, a while back there was a lot of posts saying it didn't work. If it did or does, great.
Bottom line tho, if you plug it in and it works, awesome. If it doesn't, then it won't.
No software will help. ?

Hi,
I'm using a blackberry headset and having no issues with audio/mic. But I'm having the issue where the phone defaults to speakerphone mode when unplugging the headset in the middle of a call. This issue didn't go away with wipe cache partition, factory data restore and a warranty replacement!
BTW, i'm on stock XT1053...

Error while using headphone

I've recently purchased a lovely headset from XiaoMi for my Huawei P20Pro.
It's Mi ANC & Type C In-Ear Earphones. Model: JZEJ01JY.
It has lovely audio and works fine with most of the features except...
When I made calls, the headphone will not hear any sound at all. no dial tone, not even when someone picked up the phone on the other end.
I noticed a quick fix for this error is to turn on the handsfree mode when you made the call; after you hear the sound from the handsfree mode, turn off the hands-free, then the sound will start coming in through the headset.
Another option is to wait until you hear the dial tone then only plugged in the headset.
It is not quite ideal considering the hassle of having to do so.
The error was so niched that I could not find generic help online at the moment.
Anyone shares the same pain or could provide some help here? Thanks!
Sounds like a compatibility issue. Use the stock earphones and check of the problem also persists.
Same problem with stock headset
Hi, same issue with the original headset that came with the P20 phone. Same clumsy solution. Have you solved it?...

Bluetooth call issues

I am having issues when I am connecting my k20 pro with my car's Bluetooth for answering phone calls. The Bluetooth gets connected and music plays using Bluetooth without any issues, but the call volume output doesn't come from the Bluetooth. Has anyone else face this issue?

Have you installed a custom ROM, or are you on official MIUI?
I know in call Bluetooth audio doesn't work on GSI ROMs.
I am on official miui rom

I've not seen anyone else complain of this on official MIUI. Have you tried other Bluetooth devices like headsets?
I never stuck with MIUI long enough to try Bluetooth, so there's not much I can suggest.

I haven't tried with any other blue tooth device yet. Let me try it out.
Bluetooth sound breaks continuously while playing audio in car
When i connect my k20 pro using Bluetooth to my car audio, the music breaks continuously, i have tried with other phones but the problem is only seen in this k20 pro, i tried it in another car audio system same problem
I have also the same issue... Problem is with K20 pro.... Reset 2 times but still the problem is not resolved... Most annoying thing that Mi service center can do only Hard Reset as first and last solution...
I have no issues with the audio, issue happened only with the call functions. I suspect it to be a compatibility issue with my car. Since k20 pro has Bluetooth 5g, however my car doesn't have this.

Bluetooth is backward compatible. Like if you have a capable device, it will use all the features the host supports.
One tip: If you go into Developer Settings on your phone, you can hard-set the Bluetooth settings.

Is the issue reported by you above connected to the Bluetooth issue of this thread?

I'm having the same issue, the audio comes from the loud speaker of the phone.
On the screen on the phone you can see that the audio is connected to the car Bluetooth, you can then select loudspeaker or normal audio , if you swap the audio to a different channel and then revert back to the car Bluetooth it is connecting correctly to the Bluetooth
I am having the same issue
I have redmi k20... Over Bluetooth music is fine, but over call the person can't hear you...
I tried everything.... Restarting my phone, pair unpair Bluetooth, even hard reset my phone... It started working for 2 calls after hard reset but it is again causing problrms
same problem here.
when I connect my K20 to my car via BT, music breaks after 2-3 songs, and car controls (next song/previous song) stop working.
also, when I connect my BT Bose headphones, sometimes sound does not come through (mic works)
anyone found a solution?

That sounds more like a battery optimization issue. Try turning off battery optimization AND set App battery saver to "no restrictions" for your music player.
I had the same issue with Xiaomi Redmi 9
Hard reset solved it.
