Microphone not working in certain apps - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The microphone on my nexus 6 is not working for some IM apps like wechat. It is not working in recorder apps either. But it is working while making phone calls, which is rather weird. Does anybody know how to resolve this?

Skype calls

For all the skype users out there...is it just me or everytime I call/recieve a call from Skype it forces you to use the speakerphone instead of the regular phone output.
Not sure if I messed up a reg entry to make skype act that way or if it comes like that by default...? I checked its settings and found nothing regarding any output settings....
Does anyone else have the same issue?
This is currently the normal behavior. As far as I know Skype isn't able to use the "ear speaker".
Thanks for the clearification!
Hope their newest version fixes this problem....
Use Fring, it pushes the sound through normal ear speaker.

Hi Arif,
I am also facing same problem after upgrading lolipop in my Z2, i went to Sony Center they enabled Hearing Aids option in call settings
now my voice is clear to the callers. I am not sure weather it's an hardware issue or software issue.
Go to Settings then Call there you can find Hearing Aids
Thank you,

P20 Pro - Microphone issues

Hello,
I got myself a Huawei P20 Pro and am fairly satisfied with it atm. But there is one issue I have now and that is that apps like Line, Teamspeak 3 and even the phone app is using the wrong microphone when using a Bluetooth headset or even an USB C -> 3,5 mm headset.
One thing that I do remember now that I am writing this, is that I have Boldbeast Recorder installed, which is a call recording app. But I never had these issues with my Samsung S7 Edge.
Anyone else having similar issues?
Update;
I made a call earlier today and had these issues, but using the handset itself. But after a while even calling seems to not be working.
I did a quick reboot and now, huzzaa, everything works again...
I have Huawei P20 Pro and I use Boldbeast call recorder. It works fine with the handset as well as work Bluetooth
Same problems and more....

I have the same problems with my P20 Pro! I can't make calls after a while with apps like messenger och WhatsApp, and after a while even audio when recording video I gone! A restart works for a while but then back to same behavior! This is really bad if they want to compete on the high end market... Hoping for a system update that fixes this ASAP!

Hmm, I think it happens for me whenever I use my Bluetooth headset (Jabra EVOLVE 65 MS). After I stop using it and go back to my USB-C -> 3,5mm headset it has that weird bug again.

For me it all starts working after a reboot :s
I got 3 days more to decide whether to keep it or not :s
So, I ended up returning my phone and got myself a Samnsung S9+ DS....
I am sorry!
I said earlier I don't have problem, but I do have problems with phone calls. The other party cannot hear me well. Maybe it is something to do with using Boldbeast. It records well, but maybe it interferes with phone calls. Can someone confirm this?
I'm regularly having the same issue.. Occasionally the other person at the start of a call can't hear me..
I have only yet encountered the issue with actual phone calls not whatsapp voice calls etc..
So I'm wondering if it's perhaps a VoLTE bug?
Or the only other thing I can think of is that perhaps the USB-C to 3.5mm headphone adapter plays around with the audio pipeline and doesn't reset.. Just speculation
Microphone error
Same to me here... Is there any solution? My friend can't hear me at all on the phone call... But when I playing PUBG with microphone enable they said my voice just like cartoon....
Private space is the key. I guess
Switching to private space.. ans switching back.. make u lose mic in calls.
I am sure of that.
There seems to be a few causes
Potentially:
1/ going into private space
2/ after using usb-c headphone adapter
3/ after using Bluetooth Audio
Still wondering if it's a VoLTE thing or if it also happens with whatsapp during a microphone. If it's only effecting phone calls and not apps that use the microphone that would point to volte or some other part of the call pipeline rather than the general audio pipeline
The only solution I have is to restart the phone.. That works
..
It seems like a firmware issue connected to the mic. Hope this gets resolved soon.
Same issue here.
I tried turning off VoLTE and WIFI calling. No luck.
This is really giving me a hard time. I can't make calls anymore.
People just don't hear me.
Do you guys have the dual SIM version? How many cards installed?
I removed the Sim in slot 1 yesterday and when I slid the tray back in the phone showed an update for the provider settings (and provider apps etc.)
I run the update and restarted the phone. Some provider apps were installed with the update.
--> first call went without problems.
--> maybe 2 SIM cards interfere?
--> maybe the provider update needed to be forced (by removing one of the SIM cards)
--> maybe it was just the reboot.
I'll keep you posted.
4 calls since last post (no restart since).
--> procedure might have done the trick.
Has anyone managed to fix the problem with update?
No more problems?
im having the same problem, i tried restarting and formating the mobile.
Fixes it temporary only.
Do you have two sims installed or just one? Try taking one out if you have two (see above) to trigger a provider update.
Ok, I have two sims in the phone. But now I deny Google permission for the microphone (I don't use "ok Google" to wake up), and never happens again, microphone works fine all the time.

I have exactly the same issue can hear everyone else crystal clear just they can't hear me

Nokia 9 Pureview - Microphone Static

I have a Nokia 9PV (TA-1082) and a few months ago the microphone started acting up. When I make or receive a phone call, the other person hears nothing but static. It may have started after the June 2019 update. I've read that this is a common software issue with android phones but I can't find a solution. When I record video, the microphone works properly, with no static recorded. If I test the microphone using a voice recorder app, it records nothing but static. If I make/receive a call using my bluetooth headset, it works fine. I received the August 2019 update today and it hasn't helped the situation.
I purchased the phone in the US and have been using it in Canada on the Rogers network. Everything else seems to work fine except for the microphone. Has anybody else had this problem with the N9PV?
Yes i replaced the phone but still caused by one of the third party programs, when you reboot the phone in safe mode it works ok. any program using the Mic or phone could be causing ie messenger, skype, viber, whats app.
looking for a solution also

Mic issue

My mic works fine during calls, however, if i put it on loudspeaker during a call or try to use something like shazam or soundhound there is no mic input, the apps cannot hear a thing. Any hints on what might be going on?
Im using havoc OS 10, I've tried rolling back to stock to no avail as the issue persists.
