Bad microphone in calls - Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers

Hi.
I just got the mi9 with a global rom preinstalled.
I am waiting for the 360 hours to pass so I can unlock the bootloader and install the eu miui rom.
In the meantime I notice that while the google assistant follows my voice orders quite OK, in phone calls the other person cannot hear me most of the time. I got someone to call me on another phone so I can hear what they mean and I mostly heard static with zero meaningful audio. Has anyone here had a similar experience? I am thinking of returning the phone to the seller as this is unacceptable.

Well... Just held both the mi9 and my older note 5 pro together and recorded myself talking in both. The mi9 sounded like garbage in comparison with the note 5 ai, so I guess I got a lemon. Will return it later

Found a fix for it?

mi mix earpiece volume is too low

I have recently got my hands on mi mix from hongkong. Sold to me by a dealer in dubai. I love this phone. Out of the world looks but earpiece volume is too low and becomes lower with case on. It's too fragile to be used without case. I tried calling xiaomi customer care uae. Tbey gave me the bad news that it has no warranty and further said it doesn't seem to be hardware issue. I was too eager to get this phone so i got the china rom version. Will changing to eu rom will help. Is there any beta global rom?
Any suggestions, what shall i do?
Hi. I'm in dubai as well and got mine couple weeks ago. Love it so far.
I have tried all the roms and eu is the latest one I'm running at the moment.
The earpiece takes some time getting used to.

I am not able to unlock even. Where at miui site you plead for unlocking shows a broken image before you submit. I don't know is it captacha?

I'm considering buying this phone but the call volume does worry me a little. Is the call quality good clear or muffled?

Some think it is low, some normal. Might be personal preference or cases used.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge using XDA Labs
The sound is normal, is good.
I wear hearing aids and normally prefer a bluetooth headset for better volume levels. That said, the volume and clarity of the Mix headset speaker is as good, if not better, than my samsungs, Mi Max (sold) or Phab 2 Pro (returned after a week). In fact, without my hearing aids the volume and clarity are quite good. Over the past 6 years I have rooted each of my samsung phones (s2 and notes 1 through 5) specifically so I could edit the appropriate file (mm is mixer_paths in system/ect) to increase the volume. No need (for me) with my Mix. I'm very happy with this device.
I've moved the phone around, and while there may be some difference listening to the middle vs edge of the phone, I find either satisfying and clear.
Call quality and volume was one of my biggest concerns after reading some of the reviews and was one the main things i checked prior to buying. I was pleasantly surprised the call volume quality was pretty pretty good, no real complaints. Very pleased.
It's low & gets lower with the case.
I understand why. Because of the speaker-less technology they used.

Terrible mic issue , how to fix?

I try a few fixes , disabling the google voice , change a few settings on mixer paths but the call quality and mic pickup is pretty bad. Was wondering if this is a hardware issue because a lot of posts has been up about how bad it is. I love this phone just got it but if this is the main issues that I used my phone =[. Any help or fixes I should check out because i have try many fixes.
I recently put a bug request up on their forums: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/noise-cancelling-mic-too-aggressive.477798/#post-15452631
It seems the mic is a bit aggressive with third party apps. Easy way to tell is to use the stock camera and record a quick audio clip, it should be fine. Then, in another app (Snapchat for me) take a quick video and you'll notice a lot of popping or distortion for any audio that's not close.
is this a hardware or software issue, do you think i should return it or keep it? if its a hardware issue then its not worth it

It appears to be software, however I've read the original OP3 had a similar issue that was never really addressed--at least not officially. I'd say when we start to see some ROM's pop up those devs will have it handled, but I can't say for sure.
To be honest if this issue only gets fixed by ROM developers of custom ROMs I assume the 3t will not get my new phone
I was hoping that this issue got already fixed in 3t's Software but apparently it's not.
And OnePlus seems to not put any afford into this issue
They don't seem to put any attention! "They are aware" Is all i see. No real progress that one "LTE ZIP" will take away wifi calling. Im ordering a new phone in the coming days and might go with the zte axon 7 limited edition.

I had the OPO which was great, then the OP3 which in CM14/14.1 there was an echo issue that the other side of the phone call would hear themselves, and now the OP3T has an issue with mic pickup in both regular calls and speakerphone. It feels like the quality is getting shoddy and the price is going up.
But I really don't understand why not more people are complaining about that. I read about that issue here in XDA first (but regarding the 3 and not the 3t). Then I really watched every review of the 3 on YouTube but the only one that was speaking about that problem was a German YouTuber (He is called SwagTab) in his review. No one else seemed to be aware of that problem (or didn't want to talk about it).
And I often read "it's a software problem". But why that problem hasn't been fixed already as it affects one if the essential parts of a smartphone: the microphone?
Don't know what I should think about that laziness or being unwilling to talk or fix that mess.
@bmwbasti When I had the OP3 it was narrowed down to we needed to wait for OnePlus to release the proprietary blobs for Android 7.x, but with OP3T it feels like laziness because they're still trying to please all the pissed off OP3 users and shafting the OP3T users in the process.
I think I haven't read anything about it but could it be that this issue is really fixes in the Nougat ROM that got released a few days ago for the 3? If so I could live with this issue until it's fixes in Nougat. But I think I will get my 3t not until Nougat is released anyway
Today is a sad day guys =[ i just RMA my one plus 3t , going to order the honor 8 they had an amazing sale for like 260$ i'm just going to see if i like the honor 8 , just going to be a temporary phone.. i mean why would such a good phone lack a bad mic =[
Very disappointed! The mic is a one of the most important parts of a phone. Ordered two one plus 3T devices but cancelled as soon as I came across this thread. Don't want to gamble with this.
Tried iPhone 7plus but miss my note 7. Want to go back to android, but can't find anything to substitute my note 7. Probably will go back to note 5.
Thanks to everyone who posted about this here

This seems to not be an issue while make a phone call "regulary" where your mouth is away only an inch of the microphone.
It seems to only happen when the "sound source" is not that near to the microphone as on calls.
I tested it myself with my son today. i sent him voice messages with WhatsApp. He said it's not that kind of clear like with my previous phone (HTC 10) but quality is still ok (while sound is muffled a bit) but it's so silent it's barely hearable when volume is set lower than 3/4. And he owns a HTC One M8 and that phone's speaker get really loud
Then i called him with WhatsApp but this time no messages but rather a voice call.
And now he said it's still not that clear than on my HTC 10 (but way clearer than before) but far louder and really good noticeable.
Topic: Really sad
Now there is a good amount of threads regarding this problem on OnePlus Bug Report section but it seems as if nobody of the staff cares about them...
My op3 is terrible every time I have gone to the service centre they would do a software reset and once changed the mic hardware but always acted as though I'm the only one with this issue. It's fine when I'm on speaker or through a headset but on a the normal phone mic the other end hears as though there's wind blowing
Almost all my callers complain that my voice is really muffled and they can't hear me well. Doesn't seem to matter if I have the phone to my ear, or using headphones. About 1/3 times, callers hear an echo of their own voice back at them, usually only for the first 30 seconds to a minute or so, then it stops. Really weird behavior and no idea if it's the mic or the radio or something else. Happens on all ROMS though. Started an RMA process to see if they can fix it. A chat rep hinted it might be a radio issue.
Phew glad mine is OK!

AirPods Pro microphone issue

Hi guys,
Quick question, do any of you own a pair of the AirPods Pro and use them with your Pixel 4 XL? I cant seem to get the microphone working. Everything else works as advertised. (Play/Pause/Noise cancellation/etc)
Thanks in advance,
Sam
And if this isn't the proper forum to ask? Maybe Reddit?
Maybe no one can answer your question cause nobody else uses Apple AirPods with a Google Pixel. I'm waiting for Google Pixel Buds 2 to be released.

I wouldn't have possibly guessed that would have been the first response I got. Thanks so much for your helpful insight! :good: I'm waiting with bated breath to hear about your experience with the Google Pixel Buds 2.
Back to the subject at hand though.
No, I can't imagine many people use that combination, but if you are unhappy with them and want noise cancellation buds, you are better off with the Sony WF1000XM3's
I do. Except for autopaus when removing them from my ears they work great.

So you're using the new AirPods Pro with a Pixel 4 XL and can confirm the microphone(s) works with calls?
I don't have the new Pros but I do have AirPods 2 and they work fine in terms of the mic.
I know it's not too much help since it's not the same AirPods model but I thought I'd share anyway for you to hopefully get to the bottom of your issue!

Alright great, thank you. I initially set up the Airpods Pro with my Macbook. It gave an option of have the microphone auto switch between both buds. I think I'll try setting it to right or left always, and see if that works.
I'll report my findings.
I have the AirPods Pro and used them successfully with the Pixel 4 XL. My first pairing attempt was not good for some reason. I was getting a lot of feedback. Second time around it worked without issues. I handled several calls with them, also without issues. I would say if you're having problems you want to first try to forget and re-pair. If that does not work you should get the AirPods Pro checked when paired with an iPhone and see if the same issue persists. Last resort is you can always get them replaced at an Apple store and see if the new pair behaves better.

I had this happen on occasion with my AirPod Gen 1's. I did try forgetting/re-pairing my AirPod Pros 3x. The microphone just started working randomly with my Pixel 4XL a few days into owning them. I accidentally answered a call with them on out of habit and they worked. :shrug:
If you have a friend with an iPhone or iPad pair them and let them sit charging for 30 minutes so that they update to the latest firmware. Mine were a bit glitchy at launch. After the latest firmware they're great, and I switch the airpods pros out during a call and the mic pics up whichever one was in my ear.
Pixel 4 here and great after the update.

Slightly OT but I'm wondering how the AirPod Pros are in general? Thinking of purchasing.
Do the rubber tips give you that "sealed ear" feeling? Because I try to avoid that.
Also, with my AirPods 2, I notice I can't get max volume unless I disconnect them, enable absolute volume, reconnect and then disable absolute volume. Is this the same with Pros?
I'd love to hear your two cents!

I successfully upgraded my AirPods Pro firmware last night. I connected them to a power source and left the case open and sitting next to my iPad for about ten minutes before noticing it upgraded. I had no trouble using them on my way to work today. I'll use them on some calls during the day and report back my findings. Thanks for showing me this.

Coming from the first generation AirPods, I prefer the AirPods Pro. I do miss being able to tap to pause. However, I quickly got used to the new squeeze feature.
The AirPods Pro are in ear so they do form a "seal". That being said they have a noise cancellation and a transparency mode. You may prefer transparency mode since it lets you hear whats going on around you. I use this when I order coffee/food in public for example. It's quite nice.
As far as the max volume issue goes. I also experienced that on occasion with my first generation AirPods, but have not yet experienced it on the Pros.
Hope this helps.

I already setup a return for my Razer Hammerhead True Wireless earbuds. The case lid is super flimsy and overall everything feels like cheap plastic.
Not a fan of iPhones but gotta give credit to Apple for their computers and AirPods. They did a fantastic job with those!

Question Buzzing in top speaker

My unit had heavy distortion in the top speaker when at max volume. Basically the earpiece would have a buzzing sound when playing any music with low frequency content from around 300Hz to 500Hz. This is reminiscent of the buzzing problems seen in the Pixel 3 and iPhone X.
I'm wondering if this is a one off issue.
To test visit this link:
https://szynalski.com/tone#399,v1
Make sure your phone is at max volume, and pay attention to see if your top speaker is "buzzing" as you change the frequency.
I don't know if it is the same thing you are hearing of course, but on max volume the top speaker make a slightly buzzing noise, as if it was vibrating a bit too hard.
Oof, sounds like this may be a widespread problem.
For me this is actually significantly worse than the iPhone X buzzing problem (https://9to5mac.com/2017/11/12/iphone-x-speaker-buzzing-distortion/). I had an iPhone X which was replaced free of cost by Apple.
I don't really consider this acceptable in a $1000 device.
Also reminds me of the similar issues that plagued Pixel 3 devices
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/bk8h0c
. Google apparently had software updates. But a brief search indicates that this problem was not fixed for many users in software.
I suspect this is a widespread hardware defect in the Find X3 Pro that Oppo will have to fix in manufacturing.

Neither did I. It seems the Oppo Find X3 Pro has a different resonance frequency than the Pixel 3. My unit buzzes super heavily when a dude is speaking in a video, but not on the piano video.
I can consistently get my top earpiece to buzz abnormally at max volume at around 400Hz.
Not sure if this is a serious enough issue for you, but I initiated a return outside of the seven day period, and Oppo accepted the buzzing phone as a defective unit after I recorded a video.
I'm hesitant to accept a replacement unit (compared to just refund) if this issue is widespread.

I'm not comfortable sharing the video as Oppo asked me to provide identifying information (serial, proof of purchase) in the video, and I don't know enough about how to edit the video.
But the buzzing at 400Hz was audible.
What about making a new one without all that information?
Or have you sent it back already?
Just sent it back today. Now I need to decide to accept a refund or a replacement
One reviewer for the Find X3 Pro indicates the issues is also present on their review unit after I reached out in private, but did not believe this was something Oppo would fix unless attention was brought into the issue.
If you are having this problem, I encourage you to reach out to Oppo here:

Perhaps Oppo will pay attention and fix this in a hardware revision.
Hello , owner since yesterday of an Oppo Find X3 pro , and as i am still looking to get to know the phone and going into some tests (screen , colour accuracy , sound etc ) i did not got that buzzing sound that some other users sadly face....what i wanted to ask is , is there any YT video that we can use as a " sample" to check our own devices? mainly asking because here in Germany we have 2 weeks time to return no-questions-asked every electronic device..
thanks
That's super great to hear!
From the few data points I've seen on social media, it seems like the problem is present on a majority of Oppo Find X3 Pros, but they are either not of the same severity, or people do not notice it to the same degree.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Oppo/comments/mul95b
https://www.reddit.com/r/Oppo/comments/mwgt71
Looking at the second reddit post, I agree with the poster that the issue is very noticeable on zoom when a man is speaking. The lower frequencies in the voice makes the issue super obvious.
Longer term, it would be great if you could reach out to Oppo if you do have the issue.

For me the problem seems to be most serious at around 400Hz, but is starting at around 300Hz.

Question Mic bad quality

Hi, just yesterday i bought a realme gt2 global version. I have been testing all the functions and it works perfectly, but in particular the quality of its microphone is horrible. I do not know if it is only my unit or if it happens in all units. Does anyone know something? Thanks
Oh man, hoping it is just yours - when I receive mine I will be able to confirm but I will likely only receive it end of the month / early April.
I noticed the same on some youtube video camera samples, in videos it sounds muffled. Do you mean call quality is bad too?
Same here. Compared with GT Neo 2 this GT2 mic is worse!

I think im between a Realme GT neo 2 (It has a good mic, but bad cameras....) or a Oneplus 9 Pro on 550€ (second hand but almost like new)... Its a shame, i was really happy with my GT2, but im going to hate not being able to send a WhatsApp audio with good quality...

In the tests that I have tried the Neo2 was better, but a little better. Taking into account the section of the cameras (the main one of the Neo2 is much worse than the imx766) and that it is from last year and will stop receiving updates a year before,… For my part, I would wait for the Neo3 or the Poco F4 to assess changing it. It is true that the price of the GT2 is a bit high compared to the Neo2, but if you have bought it on sale I think it is a good purchase, since the camera alone is worth about ~120$.
I also think that it is very valid for sending audio and talking on the phone, it may not be the best microphone but it defends itself. Maybe it can be fixed in an update (who knows?).
Sigh, this is really frustrating. I wonder if the Pro has the same issue?
So if one is on a phone, not on loudspeaker is it an issue or only if on loudspeaker?
WhatsApp voice notes not great quality either, not ideal. Wonder if an update would fix it although I'm assuming not.
Is there anyway to submit feedback to Realme? I'm hoping this is software, seems like such a dumb mistake or stupid place to cut corners
youtube.com/watch?v=4bejshojDpE
In this test video you can hear that the mic is very tinny... But it doesn't seem all too bad.

Yes, couldn't agree more...
I just received my device and the microphone doesn't sound bad!
I was prepared to send it back because of the mic but that isn't the case.
I have the global version and a quick comparison against my OP 5T its much worse. Theres background noise and it sounds muffled on the GT2 whereas my old phone sounds very clear compared to it.
This with the notification issue a few other people are having I may have to send it back
I just tested the mic and yeah it's not as good as my previous phone but it's not that bad.
Judging by what I've heard the problem is in the audio bit rate, realme for some reason keeps lauching phones with 96kbps instead of the minimum 192 or even 320kb.
Let's see if with the next updates they fix it. The march update is late by the way. Still on february security patch.
Hi! New owner of the GT2, having the same issue. I've reporter it here: https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1511645176815226880 , don't know if is the right place, but let's hope... Also, please report, maybe it will be fixed.
I did something to test if it's a hardware problem or software related. You can check different audio types of recording using Open Camera from Google Play. In Open Camera there is an option to change the audio by going to Settings, Video settings..., Audio source, and chose which sounds better to you. So, lets hope for an update from realme or for a way to root and manualy fix this.
As I've said before my suspicions are correct, it's the software.
I recorded videos in different audio sources and they all sound **** but in Unprocessed mode it sounds clean as it can be, the only problem is the volume, it's very quiet and there's white noise.
They have to tweak the noise supression algorithm. It sounds like my headset microphone without post processing (noise supression, echo cancelation) my voice sounds correct but there's white noise and keyboard/mouse are audible.
With it enabled, I sound more "artificial" but the background noises are supressed.
And of course increase the bit rate, it's at 93kb. Lol
Such a pitty phones have soo many bugs and issues now a days.
I ended up getting a refund on my GT2as the store could not get the global version and then purchased a OnePlus 9RT. Seems I may have dodged a bullet and skipped owning a buggy phone.
My GFs Redmi Note 10 Pro also had issues with the mic and proximity sensor. Great phone otherwise, but makes it frustrating for her to use.
Hopefully Realme fix the issue.
Was looking forward to buy this. First, the screen quality issue. Next, this mic issue. As tech experts say, 'Dont buy a phone with issues, hoping about future updates'. Might have to drop this phone, and buy GT Neo 3.
