Hi, I have a Redmi 4a with a custom android 11 ROM (tried a few).
Since a few days the microphone is not working on calls. If I record a video the audio recording is ok, so the mic itself does not have problems.
Hands-free calls work (loudspeaker), but still mic is muted or very low level.
Headset works correctly, with its own mic.
I think the microphone level is too low during calls, maybe some setting got messed up, but I do not know how.
I already tried doing factory reset, cache wipe, full wipe+ROM re-flashing, changing ROM (still keeping Android 11).
Only a few apps have microphone permission: Camera, FM Radio, Phone & now Phone Doctor Plus, which I installed to control the mic and the earphones plug (all working perfectly, all available microphones).
Google Assistant is disabled.
Bluetooth is off, nothing coupled at all.
Any Idea before I wipe again and try a ROM with Android 10 (or 9, or 8, ...)
Thanks, Leonardo

Are you sure it is issue on your side? Did you try it out with several ppl? Might be some issue on the other side, just a guess.
First of all, I would recommend to check out telegram channels/official sites of mentioned ROMs for latest updates.
It looks to me as if you installed some outdated ROM, because i have not heard of mic issues for couple years.
Also join tg channel for our device, where you can request assistance.
Second suggestion would be check for phone caller app from other ROMs, from LineageOS for example is usual choice (you can find it on APK Mirror) or AOSP from AOSP-based ROMs.
If you have Magisk installed, check out for "NLSound for QCom Devices" module, it is a module that includes setting sensitivity of mic a lil bit higher as well as other sound enhancing options. (NLSound Tg Channel), or try to check out whatever module for that matter.
I changed a few other Android 11 ROMS, all with the same issue. Also AOSP.
Android 10 CRdroid works better, mic level is low, it's higher with free speaking.
It looks like a sensitivity issue, maybe I have to change some mixer.xml settings?
Now I'm back to Android 11, Nusantara (unified 4a & 5a), but still the problem persists.
Installed NLSound: not better.
Can I configure mic level on NLSound? Where (or with which app) should the mic level be exposed?
You cannot configure mic sensitivity with NLSound, but during installation you can choose option to increase it. Which i thought could resolve your issue.
I honestly ran out of ideas atm, maybe someone more expirienced will join the discussion.
But while we are at it, could you specify a little bit more, how your mic stopped work properly? Because it still doesnt looks like a ROM issue to me, all ROMs are generic and share same device tree, which already has optimised settings and rarely being updated.
Was it like you installed custom ROM and mic immidiately went bananas, or you installed custom ROM, mic worked for certain amount of time, and then issue appeared?
Maybe try to reflash persist.img and firmware.img from original MIUI ROM, or roll back on MIUI(but dont lock bootloader) and check if issue is still present.

It stopped by itself, without me doing any specific install, as far as I can remember.
I reinstalled NLSound, with mic and volume optimizations. Still not ok.
One question: can I flash persist.img and firmware.img without losing the functionality of the ROM I have now, or should I then re-flash also the custom ROM afterwards?
Thanks for the hints.

Yes, you can flash persist.img and firmware.img without any concerns about ROM.
It shouldnt affect ROM functionality, it is just a pre-caution step, in case any of previous ROM's you played with made some unnecessary changes.

persist.img flashed, no change.
firmware.img: cannot find it in the stock MIUI I downloaded
rolling back to older MIUI: have not done it yet, as I do not know how to avoid relocking the recovery. I never did it before and I have run out of wife's patience in the meantime

Gotta download Xiaomi official tools for this purposes. MiFlash PRO, or Mi Unlock or something like this, dont remember the name. The one you unlocked bootloader of a phone with, same tool can also flash stock MIUI back, if i remember correctly, According to MiUnlock FAQ bootloader wont lock, unless you choose special option "Clean All and lock"
I also found this instructions to deal with sound problems, check if it will fix your problems.
Spoiler: instructions
For non root users
Code:
Go to the following path
Setting > Google > search > voice > "ok google" detection and turn off both the options.
That's it.
For root users, edit audio_platform_info.xml and/or build.prop
Code:
Navigate to the root directory of the phone
Root/system/etc/
Then look for a file named "audio_platform_info.xml" with text editor of your choice .
Now go to the bottom of the file you will see </acdb_ids> , you need to add the below line before/above that </acdb_ids>
Click and add this line
<device name ="SND_DEVICE_IN_VOICE_DMIC" acdb_id = "100"/>
Now just save the file and exit the root browser
Reboot the device now. As soon as it boots up you may check thr mic quality if its better now or not
If you're still not satisfied with it then you may follow one more step. This will turn off the voice cancellation ( it could cause echo sometimes to the listener)
For this open root browser and navigate
Root > system > build.prop file
Open it with any text editor.
Look for following lines
persist.audio.fluence.voicecall= true
persist.audio.fluence.voicerec= false
As soon as you find these lines make true to false and it should look as follows
persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=false
persist.audio.fluence.voicerec=false
Save the file and exit.
Reboot the device and check if it's working or not.
As of your wife, there is only one common fix for that issue: switch from 'default charge' mode during night to 'super charge' one, and gotta charge longer in this mode, usually it helps them to switch from 'nagging mode' to 'silence mode' for a while. Apply this fix as often as she slips from 'silence mode', because there is no permanent fix for this issue.
End of the story:
I bought for a few € the miniboard with the USB connector and the microphone, replaced the old one and the phone is working again.
The not clear behavior of the microphone with the various Android installations was due to it starting to malfunction. The last days It was always completely silent.
Thanks to all for the help and the suggestions, I learned some new things.

Hello!
I just got a One Mini 2 - untouched - with original android.
Any suggestions where can i find a solution step by step to unlock the bootloader, s-off, which is the latest "upadated" rom for this phone ?
Everything is so old here, hard to find what i need.
Thanks folks!
For step by step method go to htcdev.com, select unlock bootloader, selext one mini 2 as your device and all steps to unlock bootloader are explained there.
Once you have successfully unlocked bootloader, you will need to flash custom recovery (TWRP) to flash any ROM
Currently the only working method for S-Off is Sunshine ($25).
Most updated stock ROM you can check on HTCdev as well for your device. As for custom CM Roms the most updated is CM13.
Hello there!
Thanks you very much your quick reply!
Except the s-off, if im staying on S-on - i can swap the recovery and the rom?
Silly question, but in the past 3 year i did nothing on HTC phones.
What about the CM13 - bugs?
Stable?

Yes you can swap recovery and roms, however only after unlocking the bootloader (some devices are unable to unlock thr bootloader, for some unknown reason despite following the proper procedure).
I came across only 4 bugs in cm 13.
1 At times the keyboard settings crashed at times it wouldnt.
2 The NFC came one for no reason cannot be disabled resulting in battery drain.
3 Lately the device would stay awake in battery settings despite screen off causing maassive battery loss, this was an android issue in Marshmallow without any known fix, I reverted back to stock for now waiting for CM14.
4 If camera settings are set to highest for picture quality some times the camera would crash and no solution except to restart the device, clear cache and data in apps settings.
There are some other reported bugs such as wifi security settings where some devices wouldnt connect to routers with WPA2, more issues can be found in the CM13 thread, you might or might not come across this issue, I didnt.
Also, loud speaker in music is slightly noisy and not crystal clear as with BoomSound and in calls ear piece sound is way too low and so is mic in recording, the member said he would fix audio problems in the next bug fix.

The loud speaker issue, ear piece and mic low sound issue and nfc issue were present in CM12.1 as well for me, might be fixed I'm unsure.
You will have to try I can't say if your bootloader will unlock or not.

Im successfully unlocked the boatloader, the lastest TWRP flashed, i did backup, and im looking which rom is the better.
Be honest, im just want a normal working rom, without big bugs.
I saw the NostromoPop has mic & sound issues.
The carbon has microSD issues.
I dont know, i cant decide...
Cheers mate your help!!!
"This package is for device: memul; this device is htc_memwl."

Hi,
I just took my old Nexus six out of the drawer thinking I would start using it again but sadly the dreaded speaker death has occurred. Is there a series of steps I should take to try to fix it? Earphones work fine and Bluetooth works fine but nothing comes out of the top speaker at all even with the volume set to high. I'm on android version 7.11, pure Nexus v. 7.1.1.20170215-OFFICIAL, rooted, with the kernel Franco 3.10.40.
What should I try first, hardware fixes or software? It used to work, now is dead.
Roll back to stock first to verify whether this is a hardware or software issue. If it's software, install a ROM more current than Pure Nexus. Otherwise you'll have to hunt for a new speaker.
I will install stock first. Where would I find a new speaker if that's what it needs?
Update: rolled back to stock and sound works fine now. You are brilliant! Now have to decide what ROM to use. Any recommendations?
You first have to decide if you want VoLTE or wifi-calling. For that you need a Oreo rom, and the only one I know that is still updated is LineageOS 15.1.
Otherwise, you can take your pick from the Pie roms. I believe that they all work fine on the N6, it's more a question of which extra features you prefer.

Is there any great advantage to upgrading from stock? Now that I've got the phone working pretty well I'm a little hesitant to start messing around with lineage or one of the pie ROMs. Will the phone run faster and have less lag and have better camera options if I upgrade the ROM?
Thanks again for helping me get my phone working again.

The new roms have many more features, both from the newer Android, and from the efforts of the rom devs.
Of course, you may not need or even like the new features. Myself, I hate the new auto-brightness in Pie.
There are also some speed optimizations, but IMO they don't make a world of difference.
I believe that the camera driver is closed source, and therefore unchanged from stock. The camera app can however provide different amounts of options on top of the driver (Snap Camera in lineage has a lot of options) - but you should be able to get that by installing other camera apps on stock as well.
But most of all, I like to have the newest security fixes.
The bootloader has an option called: "factory mode" that has an app called: "CQATest"
After loading it choose "CQA Menu Mode"
Audio --> Loudspeaker
This will play an audio test file at full volume until you press the vol down or back button.
This is a useful application for general hardware testing too.
Hi everyone, hope you're having a good day. So, my previous phone was LG G6, used it for about 1.5 years and it just got to the point it's unusable for me - getting about 3-4h. SoT, it's quite laggy and other things. Decided to upgrade, went for Xiaomi Mi 8. My phone before G6 was Xiaomi Mi 5 and I was quite happy with it, so that was the reason I went with Mi 8, but after a few days I'm already having problems.
- First thing is problems with Bluetooth audio and Developer Options related to Bluetooth. I have Sony WF-1000x wireless earbuds and I didn't have any problems with it on my old phone, besides the right earpiece cutting off, but it's common with these earbuds. But with Mi 8 it's much more frequent, music freezing, sometimes it feels like the playback is a bit faster and it's a bit too quiet. I did some research on this problem and found that I need to change some Bluetooth settings in the Developer Options, and so I did. I changed the audio codec from AAC to SBC and pretty much all the problems dissapeared, expect the volume. But the thing is, I have to reset the setting everytime I connect my earbuds.
- I use Double tap screen to wake as G6 had this feature too and I got used to it, and I also got Pocket mode enabled (I don't know if this relates to this, but I just mention it to be safe). Sometimes the AOD doesn't show up, even with Show items set to always and the double tap screen to wake doesn't want to work at the same time.
As of right now, these are the problems I'm having. Sorry for the long post, but is there anything I can do to fix these? I want to leave factory reset as the last solution, because I got the phone just a few days ago and I really don't want to spend a few hours setting it up again.
Thanks for the help in advance!

Disable "absolute volume" option in Developer options.
Next, as soon as possible unlock your bootloader and use the Xiaomi.EU rom, it is based on beta and highly stable. Coding wise it's maybe 4 months ahead of the stable build, and it's much better.

I have Sony MDR-XB80BS headphones and did not previously experience any issues using the most recent Stock rom.
However, I did have issues, with the original software that the phone shipped with, and I had problems initially setting up my Samsung Gear watch. Those problems went away after updating.
Assuming that you have updated to the latest build
I am not sure of anything else that you could fo other than trying a full reset.. Which may fully resolve your issue.
Other than full reset, I don't have any additional suggestions.
Good Luck.

No your Reddit link is outdated it works just fine I use it and just now took screen shots.
Also, many of the commenters are disputing the OP stating that it isn't supported. Although I also use Reddit, there is a lot of inaccurate information posted and its been pointed out countless times: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheoryOfReddit/comments/3araxu/10000_redditors_can_still_be_wrong_how_top/
The BT device firmware is partly to blame for the people with issues. I mentioned earlier that I had a problem with my watch when i first bought the mi8, the solution, it turns out was a firmware update...on the watch.
I tested connecting Airpods Pro with "absolute volume" enabled and disabled. No change observed.

My RN10Pro is experiencing a rather serious issue. I was about to open a game (Fate Grand Order), it freeze then crashed. Then no sound was playing at all on any apps (youtube, music ,etc). It also cant record audio from mic. No audio from calls. Can someone help?
Other Symptoms:
- Dolby Atmos is stuck in Toggle ON. I cant turn it off. I always left it OFF before the problem. I havent turned it on before.
- Going into sound effects in settings result in crash and error.
- Poweramp music player reports "No Audio Device"
-ALL APPS dont have any audio.
- No audio comes out even if I plug in my Earphones with a mic.
- Plugging my phone to charger doesnt create the Charge sound that it usually do.
METHODS THAT I HAVE ALREADY TRIED.
- Factory Reset - I have tried 2 factory resets already. Both didnt work
- Restarted phone multiple times - Still no sound
- Tried Safe Mode - No luck
- Cleared cache from Boot Screen. No luck
Any help pls T_T

As long as you are on seller's OS, try also to give them a call or write to them. This way you'll get both "official" assistance there and FOSS here.
If the official does not help, you may always try to unlock the bootloader and to install the same (but debloated) Miui OS or try a free one.
Hope you manage to resolve the issue. We all know how time and mind consuming are all these troubles. Good luck!

Generally speaking, which custom ROM is the most bug free or stable one? I have a feeling that this is a software/OS problem due to how the nature it occurred.

There is no one and sole answer to your question. It depends on the hardware components, on how you use your phone and even on the sequence of installations.
For example, I unlocked bootloader on my Redmi and installed CrDroid which had a very good battery run time. A couple of months later I had to reinstall the OS because after OTA update I lost root and could not regain it via usual tricks. So, clean installed the same CrDroid. And now the battery consumption is visibly higher. Why? No answer. I have to search for new tricks.
So, even if you found an OS which fits your needs, you are not guaranteed to pass next years in a small country house contemplating roses.
Hello!
Having the exact same problems. Phone became defective on its own. Never rooted or flashed. All of a sudden Adobe Audio is stuck on and no audio, no recording or playing videos and no mic function. I can only write and browse with the phone. If anyone found a solution other than a motherboard swap let me know.

- Poweramp music player reports "No Audio Device"
-ALL APPS dont have any audio.
- No audio comes out even if I plug in my Earphones with a mic.
- Plugging my phone to charger doesnt create the Charge sound that it usually do.
METHODS THAT I HAVE ALREADY TRIED.
- Factory Reset - I have tried 2 factory resets already. Both didnt work
- Restarted phone multiple times - Still no sound
- Tried Safe Mode - No luck
- Cleared cache from Boot Screen. No luck
Any help pls T_T

Nope bro, still havent solve it. Based on some research I have done, the root cause might be a faulty mainboard. . I just reverted to using my old Samsung A50 for the meantime.
same is happening with me from yesterday
Did anyone found fix or visited service centre? Also how and when did your device having audio issues @Mattfun @Sepepe_GCL @la98kraja
Same with me...
The front cam stopped working on 1st July,
Since last 4 days (29th September), the mic and speakers are not working.
In fact, the phone doesn't even boot normally, only safe mode works.
In safe mode too, cam, mic and speakers don't work.
I took a bug report and sent to Feedback team. No response since 2 days...
How effed up am I?
Did anyone try qfil rom ?
I emailed xiaomi italy. i had bought the phone 1.5 years ago and this is obviously a factory defect. Since moving houses and everything i have lost the original box of the phone with the bill in it and i dont have proof of insurance even though xiaomi told me through emails that my imei shows that the phone is under warranty but they wont take it in without a bill from the shop i got it from. the shop now post covid has closed bcs of the general crisis Italy is in.
i believe it strongly to be a motherboard or speaker problem. a redmi note 10 pro now flies around 150-200 euros new and a motherboard costs 100 euros. i can fix it myself because i am technically able but i dont think it is worth it. i bought an iphone 11 pro max and im keeping this audioless phone that i cant do much with either until someone finds another fix for it or its battery swells and damages the frame hahahah. might work well as a tinder only phone to hide from your gfs too ahahahahha.
my phone just did the audio thing on its own. one day it was working fine then the other day:
Dolby atmos stuck on
no audio from anything
every video or app that uses audio freezes. only rear camera works but sometimes decides it doesnt want to and only for taking pictures.
reboots became instantly no joke 10 minutes long. like to the point i was worrying it was never going to boot. all this 2-3 weeks before i did my first comment on this thread.
i feel like this is a disservice. xiaomi should aknowledge this problem and maybe take back all the defective redmi note 10 pros and even if they ask me to pay extra for a redmi note 11 pro or 12 i will but take at face value what i paid for their phone already and offer me a solution. i was able to take care of it but what about people who this is their only phone and have no possibility of bying another one a snap of their fingers just because their main is broken. i always used xiaomi products. love their phones and everything and i understand this is a factory defect that might happen to 0.01% of all redmi note 10s but still own up to it as a company.
I have the same problem and when I sent it to the service they said that the motherboard needs to be changed. It's really silly. A phone should not break where it stands!

It could be the driver in update as well. Try another ROM like @Laptapper said

They said it might be causes by motherboard and they want to change it , it cost the price of the phone tho . Ah , all this happened by an update..no more xiaomi .. thank you all
I recently bought the redmi note 11 and updated it to the latest rom of miui 13.0.1.0 stable which is on top of Android 12
Now I am seeing the following issues
1. Ringtone / Alarm / Notification sounds not working
2. Keyboard not opening sometimes and gets stuck, only restart helps
3. Apps start to hang and after that phone does not connect to internet at all even if wifi is connected.
Anyone else facing the same issues if so how to resolve them?
I am looking to install a custom rom if things persists but I don't want to void the warranty yet so any official way to resolve them?
It's always good to do a factory reset after bigger OTA update. I'm not saying it will fix your problem but give it a try. There were many similar situations like yours and this helped them.
I did it multiple times but did not help

Just in case you didn't do it this way, it's not the same, flashing firstly, then wiping, but the reversed way, formatting data, to receive a major update, and search for the fastboot latest version, if it exists, I didn't look for, so I don't know.
@asuna594 Did you somehow fixed that problem? After upgrading to A12 I have similar problems: Often no notifications (like Whatsapp), even after unlocking the phone (I manually have to open WhatsApp to get new messages).
I tried ROM flashing the phone with an official ROM from Xiaomi website. But it did not work. So I got a new phone under warranty. It was a painful experience after buying a new phone.
Oh, great I'll try factory resetting the phone and hope it helps. If not I have to contact Xiaomi... thanks!
I had a lot of problems on A12 from battery, performance, to questionable feature implementations. Downgrading to latest A11 was the most stable option for me, though you will miss out on the security patches and some new features. Maybe you can try Xiaomi.eu or custom ROMs and see if it works for you.
Currently using an Android 13 custom ROM and have almost the same performance and battery usage, if not better than the previous Android 11. Definitely better than stock MIUI A12
Thanks. I just resetted my phone and reinstalled (almost) everything. Will see if it works now... if not I'll also try to find a custom ROM (which might be difficult since I have the 11s, not the 11).

Ah I see. There are little or no development for Mediatek SoC since they don't release the source codes to public. Hopefully the reset will fix the problem
Another thing that might help is to let some apps to run without restrictions, let them autostart, and disabling Battery and Performance either by revocation or ADB to prevent it from being closed. More details on here
[PSA]: com.miui.powerkeeper acts like a malware, remove it trough ADB for increased performance
This is MIUI battery optimization service that aggressively kills apps in background for a negligible battery gain. This device already has more than efficient chip, and does not need this aggressive background app killing to get to 8-10h of...

Thanks for your link, I will try to remove powerkeeper if my phone is still buggy because of MIUIs aggressive power management
I hope my problems are fixed now, at least most of the time notifications work well. What I did:
- Factory reset
- In Settings I've search for "Special Permissions", went to "Unrestricted Data" and toggled WhatsApp to "on"
- Switched the region of the phone to "India", searched in Settings for "intelligent scenarios" (at least that's the translation german to english) and switched that setting to "off"
- Disabled Memory Extension
Indonesia rom work good
