When listening to a WhatsApp Voice Message via earpiece (i.e. proximity sensor) and another message arrives or any other notification, the audio is routed to the louder speaker for few seconds (length of notification audio) then routed back earpiece. So everybody around will hear that audio message.
This is extremely annoying is privacy disaster . Is it happening anyone ? Does anyone know how to solve?

It's a WhatsApp bug as far as I know. They should stop playback when a notification interrupts a voice message. Contact their devs.

All that I I'm hoping is that anybody who is currently using the Xiaomi Mi5 + WhatsApp to try it and confirm if the issue is there or not? so at least that i know where to start from!

Thanks a million. Let me know of u come across any fix/workaround. Not sure why Xiaomi users (maybe Mi 5 only) don't really care about this issue. IT IS REALLY SERIOUS!
I've exactly the same problem now with my Mi5s. But I'm sure it's not a problem only for Xiaomi phones. Before this, I've used a Oneplus 3 and other phones in the last 2/3 years and always with this same problem. I don't understand why it's so undiscussed.

I was 99% convinced it's the phone's kernel or phone related issue .. now that's more confusing
@XiaoMi Mi 5 users, is any of u using any ROM (Stock, AOSP, LinageOS .. etc) not affected by this issue? Pls help us understand!!
I'm using stock Redmi Note 4 (out of box config) with latest whatsapp version. This problem is killing me
Xiaomi mi a2 Lite. Same issue here on WhatsApp.
Also on FB messenger, the audios are only playing via loudspeaker and not earpiece. This is so bad... It's not happening to my brother who is using a pixel XL.
Hi guys, anyone with problems to the mic? Works fine for hours and then it stars having serious trouble of "weird voice" and sometimes doesn't work at all. After a reboot everything restart working well...Very very annoying!

Mine too, in the first day! I had to restart. Coming from an iPhone, I was shocked (along with other irregularities) to the point, I think I might have to sell p20 pro.
I had a similar issue on my p20. As it seemed to be a software issue I went into the apps and notifications part of the settings. In here I went to permissions and changed what had permission to use the phone and microphone. I took permission off everything unless it was essential. It has since solved my problem but I am not entirely sure which thing caused the issue however I would guess at the Huawei apps that were trying to use them. Hope this helps with your problems

I have had 4 p20 pros in 6 weeks and all of them have mic issues. I live in London so signal has never been an issue but with these phones, most of the time indoors people cant hear me...its ridiculous. Nobody has a clue what to do....about to send the phone back for good but I really want it....any ideas?

You should try to install custom rom or reinstall stock rom with fastboot.
during deep sleep, when a call arrives
sound is slow and distorted in incoming call
Me too
WTH, I thought it was a problem with my A2. Right after Pie update I have had 2 issues, 1. Front camera was not working and 2. Speaker distortion during incoming call. Took it to service center who simply flashed a firmware and said both the problems will be solved, but they didn't, they said the front camera module needs to be changed and they didn't have in stock, took it to other service center who refused to login for service stating its just a software issue and will be solved by factory reset! Finally took it to a third service center who opened up and said "the camera connection was lose, and fixed both the issues", front cam was working fine but the speaker distortion was still there. Had to take it to the third service center one more time and replicate the problem there, then they took the phone and said they will be replacing the speaker under warranty, the mobile is still with them as we speak.
And interestingly, when I gave to them to fix the front camera, they reverted to 8.1 but the problem was still there. Wrong proximity sensor placement, yellow band, memory management issues (I can't clean the Chrome cache!), and all the bugs Pie brought in, the worst android phone I have ever owned till date.
I love how this phone falls to pieces slowly and we keep hoping for fixes but each iteration of an update introduces a new bug ... Mi A3 slowly shows up and still nothing : ))
My Xiaomi MI 9 won't ring for incoming calls sometimes, it will only do so after I have rebooted it.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there a permanent solution?

Let's go over the basics
Is it muted? (DND)
Does it have a ringtone?
Did you cover the speaker?
Was it a recent update?
How long has it been lasting?
Redmi Note 8 Pro phone not ringing for incoming calls. Sometimes caller gets busy signal when phone is not busy. Happens often but not every time, like the phone has a bug or mind of it's own. Therefore receiving calls is NOT RELIABLE> Ringtone, alerts, and settings does not fix the problem. I have a Redmi Xiomi Note 8 Pro 6gb, anroid version 10 AP1A. This is unacceptable for a phone product. What is the solution, trash the Xiomi brand and buy what? (I already don't like Apple).
Got this phone as a secondary device for our new business and so far I'm very happy with it for the price and my mum has just got it to replace her aging Honor V10. However I have noticed when on video calls with her, her voice sounded very muffled and like she was underwater and I could barley hear her on Whatsapp. However, when we did a voice only call on whatsapp she sounded fine. I have tested with my phone as well and exactly the same problem occurred which suggests that this is a common hardware limitation or software issue. Any advice?
Got the same problem on my WhatsApp video call with remi note 10 pro. But when I'm using a headset to make a video call, my voice was clear. Any suggestion or advice?
same i was reported even on messenger that people couldnt hear me well , and there is no option to adjust microphone
it's totally software related problem, there's lot of bug and issues in this miui 12.5 rom, if don't have problem with this issues then wait for their miui update, or you can unlock bootloader then install custom rom in it, I did it and now work well for me. Install pixel experience rom

I'm facing the exact same issue what you're going through.
I brought redmi note 10 pro max on Saturday 7/8/2021 and I was checking all the specs and all.. All was truly good but the problem happened only on call.
1. My bf investigated that when he calls me. His voice I can't hear it beaks and for him, he is having issue with not hearing my voice.. It sound like my voice is breaking in middle of conversation, so I've to repeat my sentences and this is frustrating.
2. I checked the speaker quality, this is more worse than without speaker quality. Realme xt was indeed my ideal phone which I've to give to my sister. When I kept the phone on speaker, it sounded like I was speaking softly, and some of my words were cancelled. He said that the noise cancellation of redmi note 10 pro max when kept in speaker is also cancelling the my voice.it like can't distinguish between sender voice and background voice.realme is so much better. I really wish realme bring again glass body in 20 k range with AMOLED screen.
I checked even with my mom, she faced the same issue, without speaker worse and with speaker my voice was worst!
I requested for replacement from Amazon, it ws arriving next day.
While it comes, I did factory reset and phone service rest and check for latest update. It was smoothly working for sometime, hence cancelled the replacement which I made mistake. The issue again persists next day only with speaker.. Without speaker, anyone can listen carefully.
So I contacted customer care of Amazon for replacement again but they said they can't replace it.. The replacement is done only twice
1. Original phone replacement
2. Replaced phone replacement
Since I cancel that replace phone, I can only now get refund that is 4-6 working days.
This is so frustrating.
The main functionality of phone is calling, if that only purpose is lost, its like wasting money for nothing.

I think I have found the "solution" for this problem. Im currently on update 12.5.8. The work around for this problem is to reduce the video call volume to half or below. My girlfriend and I have been experimenting recently and found that when the video call volume is less than half , the other person can hear you much clearer. I hope this would help.

I have the same problem on Redmi Note 10 Pro on WhatsApp and Messenger.
I get no issues either with native ViLTE video call or Google duo video call.
Same issue with me as well
In July 2021, we bought two RMN10Pro phones in Pakistan. Both have this exact issue, it's so much torturing that I feel like throwing it out of the window whilst video calling. No one can hear what we say at the receiving end. So far, non of the official OTA updates fixed the issue, hoping MIUI 13 will, and are waiting for it eagerly.
My old trusty HTC 10 has a crystal clear call experience at the same time.

Try going to the Xiaomi service center near you and discussing it with them. Report back to us their reply. If they say it is a hardware issue, get it replaced/repaired by them, if they say it is a software issue, also then ask them to fix it. IT IS INDEED VERY IRRITATING!, we have two of these with problems out of the box.
I came to Germany from Pakistan so one of them is with me and I can't go for warranty services, don't know if it has an international warranty. Others back home are not that tech-savvy, so I was looking for a possible solution. Plus, I can't get it replaced from here even if there was a possibility as it would lose the very costly PTA (Pakistan Telecom Authority) registration. The phone was purchased from a Pakistani market, so its IMEI is already registered.
If the upcoming MIUI 13 update doesn't fix it, I'd unlock the bootloader and go for a Pixel Experience ROM.
