Microphone Issue not resolved even after flashing. - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I started facing Microphone issue post January patch which i flashed through fastboot. I tried reverting back to december build but the issue still persists.
For the life of me i cannot figure out what is the problem as in video recording, the voice is clear and even speaker calls work but when i switch over to normal call over earphone, the other person cannot hear me. Any tips to resolve the issue would be much appreciated.
Edit : anyone with insight please help?

Have you tried downgrading the phone app?

Doesn't work. The no sound on microphone issue is over WhatsApp call too. Strangely as soon as I switch to speaker, it works fine.

Your exact same question has been asked several times. I can't image you searched allot...
Even a Google search gives you the answer straight away: https://www.google.com/webhp?source...&ie=UTF-8#q=xperia+sp+low+volume+cm11&spell=1

Nope iam on unlock bootloader, the only fix i have found till now is go to settings->performance->processor->set minimum cpu frequency to 487MHz increases sound little bit

Download the latest CM11 release.
You're most likely still on an old version which had an experimental fix for the rear mic bug.
This is what's causing the echo. For now the rear mic has been disabled. (Only needed for filming videos, so not a big deal for most people)

Then use the fix I have already presented in numerous other threads... Install Williams kernel for CM (v3.0 was the most stable one) and use Fauxsound to boost your volume. IT WORKS.

[Q] Problem with microphone volume on custom rom

Hello everyone
I have one problem with every custom rom I tried(PA,PAC,CM,SlimKat etc.) and it is the microphone volume.It is very low and not stereo.For camera, only the back microphone works and when I take a video of my TV I can barely hear it.On stock it is normal.Can you help me with this?
Thanks.
Am I the only one with this problem?

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 issue

I am facing peculiar issue since one week., during the normal phone call the microphone seems to be very low, the person on the other end is hardly able to hear me. But if I make whatsapp call, the microphone is very clear. I have tried to do a factory reset and also upgraded to latest 6.0 stock rom. Issue is still unresolved.
I was on stock 5.0.2 before upgrade and had same issue. This has cropped up recently, the phone was working fine before, not sure what has started it. is there any setting that I should look into? Has anyone faced issue before and successfully resolved it. Any help is much appreciated.

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,

Help me fix this MIC Problem with my Note5

Hello,
I have a problem with my Note 5 second microphone, that I can't find a solution how to fix.
Now, let me explain the problem, when I make a phone call people can hear me normally, but when I try to go in the loudspeaker mode no one can hear me.
Even when I try Whatsapp Video Calls people can't hear me.
I tried everything possible to fix the problem but the mic still doesn't work, so I am totally sure that this is a hardware problem.
Now what I want to do is to force my Note 5 to use the first microphone when I am on loudspeaker.
I found a video online when someone was doing smth similar but for MTK devices.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdExupsSmgs
Is there any program that can help me do this?
Or maybe, someone can direct me what can I edit on my phone system files to fix this issue.
Thanks In Advance
Cheers
P.S
I have tried the loopback test *#0283# and confirmed that when in the SPK_2ndMic I can't hear myself
I have tried entering safe mode and still the 2ndMic doesn't work
I have tried to clear the cache, and still the same problem
I have tried to clean the mic with a pin, or blowing air but without success.
Up
i have a similar issue. i tried the loop back test and the spk_mic2 works but mic 1 is feint. have you figured out the issue?
