Microphone quality in CM12.1/13 ROMs - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

¡Hello!
Actually I'm using AICP 10 ROM, which is based on CM12.1, and this ROM has issues with the two microphones of the One. In WhatsApp the voice notes had a very bad audio quality and people can't hear me sometimes, and when I'm using the speaker in a phone call the microphone that my phone uses is the back microphone so people can't hear me, again. A couple of months ago I tried crDroid that is based on CM13 and it had exactly the same issues. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

no you are not the only one
this problem appears on every aosp based rom...and i did not find a good fix for that until now...
Try this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/general/cm11-sound-fix-ultimate-t2861772
if you have installed this fix, you have perfect microphone level etc. and really clear and loud voice recordings.
But this fix causes bad call quality, the person you call to, will hear his own voice like echo.
so this fix, fixes all microphone bugs, but causes also bad sound quality while calling.
i decided to use stock sony because i think calling is important but also whatsapp voice memos for me
I already found that fix.But anyways, thank you!

Microphone not working in call. Please help.. :(

Suddenly my Microphone not working in call. People at the other end can't hear me at all (both normal or in speaker phone). However if I use wired headset or Bluetooth headset in call the everything is fine.It was working fine (I was at CF Rom sutl44 with exposed) then it suddenly stop working since a week ago.
My phone is Verizon Droid Turbo XT1254 bootloader unlocked with sunshine.
At first I thought that maybe my mic is dead but it is not. The voice recorder app (Hi-Q MP3 recorder) can still record from the mics without problem.
I read a lot of this issue and mostly because of software problem, so I tried all that I can think of.
I have reset my phone, even do a full wipe and start clean install but the problem still same.
I flash full stock odexed firmware (sutl44 or 49) with same result.
I flashed resurrection remix rom (the latest) still same problem.
I changed build prop as per some people suggest but still same problem.
From the hardware side, I disassembled my phone and clean mic holes, check mics condition, all seems fine. When I tried using the voice recorder it can register any sound or even touch so the mics are working and sensitive.
FYI, this phone has 5 mics, I checked and tested (with voice recording) them when I disassembled the phone. All are working fine.
I'm really desperate right now.. I love this phone and this is my main phone. I will appreciate any help or suggestions.
Maybe some ROM recommendation that may fix the mics problem.
I just flashed RR Marshmallow to see if I get any luck but unfortunately no.. mic still not working in call.
I tried to remember when this problem start to happen.. I guess it was after I install GravityBox in Xposed and start played around with the GB settings.
I have TWRP backup before I install that GB, I tried to restore the backup but still mic not working in call.
Did Xposed can change something very basic (like a 'driver' in windows) that can't be changed back by re-flash or load a TWRP backup?
Because somehow I think that this 'driver' or 'library' for mic in call is bad or gone.
Please.. any suggestion?
This might be a long shot, but I just had the same issue. After making a call using Google Hangouts, it started working again for me.

I have tried that since I mic is not working.. still problem
tertiary
Remove your tertiary microphone. It is the lower right when looking at the back. After this you must ground your audio output pin or you will get buzzing sound during recordings and conversation. This pin will be lower left out of the four where microphone was removed, there will be a chevron shape beside it which is a convenient ground location. This problem as far as I can tell happened after a security update from Verizon. I realize this sounds like a bogus fix but it made my phone work GREAT. This microphone is picking up your voice as well as the main mic and causing noise reduction to the point of no audio.

Since it's a software based issue, flashing a ROM different from stock firmware wouldn't fix it? He said he tried flashing Resurrection Remix.
BHB27 kernel's problem
I don't read your post carefully, so I don't know if your ROM and kernel is same to me, but I have similar problem in last few days. Finally, I find the problem is the custom kernel, the lastest BHB27 kernel, when I flash the old version custom kernel, the problem is solved. I hope this information can help you.
My ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-mpg24-107-70-2-brazilian-6-0-1-t3426234
Kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/development/kernel-bhb27-kernel-t3207526
The new kernels have problem, so I flash back to BHB27-Kernel-V201-8-M.zip
i was able to solve the issue by plugging in a headset and then unplugging it. sometimes some dirt/junk get stuck in there, and the phone thinks that it is plugged in, thus muting audio out except through the jack.
I have the same problem, you fixed this problem in your phone?
I try RR (Android L, M and N), CRDROID (Android N) and NX (Android M). In all of this ROMs, I have the same problem.

can you give more details about the problem that you faced?
After nougat update in Moto M mic not working.
I was not ready to do a factory reset. But there is no other option to fix mic issue after nougat update.
So, last night kept back up of all important folder and run factory reset without automatic restore.
Now, everything looks fine to me. Incoming and outgoing calls are working fine.
So, I am suggesting everyone to do a factory reset, this is one and only option to fix mic issue.
Thanks,

Mic sensitivity issues

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.

Call problem - XENON/Lineage/Slim

Hi guys, i have a m7 tmobile version, i had it like months using Slim and had no problems, but lately i tested other roms like lineage and xenon, even slim and some calls i cant hear it anything, like 2 out of 10 get the sound and the rest doesnt, what can i do? i've read some solutions with play services but it didnt work, i flashed a radio image too and still no solution, please if anyone of you had this problem or what can i do, thnx
If you are using an Android N Rom, you should know about the speaker call bug. If you have the speaker active and end the call with speaker active there is no sound in the next call. Solution: Disable speaker before ending the call. Or reboot your device everytime you used the speaker.

Question MIC issue

Hi Guys, so apparently in every aosp rom i use i have mic issues. When I´m on videocalls my mic is bad for other people and they can’t hear me well. Firstly why are Roms causing these issues and is there any way to fix. I tried all the modules for mic fix but nothing helped
Open camera, select video, stay with phone in orizzontal state (no vertical), rec a video for 10 or 12 secs, stop video and try
So I think mic in camera works im not sure because i switched to miui. But the only big problem is WhatsApp. In video calls friends etc. can’t hear me good
