Hello all!
I've got this very weird problem. When I make or receive calls, the headset mic does not work at all. It is not just weak, it's completely muted! I thought it was a hardware error, but I downloaded a voice memo apk and noticed that the headset mic worked there! So it must be a software issue.
Some important details: my phone is a rooted 2.2 XXJPM with lagfix installed. I had audioboost 1.6, mixget and the alsa libraries installed, and removed them to see if that fixed the problem, but it didn't. I still think though that in the process of installing alsa I must have messed something up.
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Yiannos.
Same Issue
I just started having the same issue not too long ago. The headset mic can be used for voice commands, voice recording, etc. But, it does not work on calls. The mic is not muted and I can hear the other party just fine. I have tried two different headsets with the same result.
Any thoughts out there? It may have happened when I was playing with Sipdroid and GV. I uninstalled all of that but is it possible that they did not uninstall cleanly leading to this problem? BTW, the headset worked fine with SIPdroid.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello,
since I've upgraded the ROM I am using now (Endymion) to the latest version (3.4) I have a strange problem.
I am opening a new thread because I am not pretty sure it is a ROM related issue (instead it could be a radio related problem, but this has never happened before, with the same radio I am using now). Kernel issue??
The problem is that if I activate the bluetooth and then connect my bluetooth headset, the call is like interrupted so I can't hear the voice of my interlocutor and vice versa for about 10-15 seconds. Then it goes as usual.
I've noticed this issue because I have a Tasker rule which activates the bluetooth if a certain person calls and if I am at home. But this happens even if I activate the bluetooth by hand.
Do you have an idea of what could the cause of this problem be?
I'm sorry, i can't really help you i just can tell you that i'm also on Endymion V3.4 and i often use a Bluetooth headset.
But everything works fine, i have no issues like you.
I often use Bluetooth headset too and the headset is working good for me, but it's the bluetooth activation that makes this problem happen.
Did you try to switch bluetooth ON during a call?
What radio do you use?
Yes i often switch on my Bluetooth headset during a call and I immediately hear the partner in my ear
I have never changed radio, because everything works fine for me (never change a running system).
The second reason is, that i can't flash radio, because I'm S-On. I used HTCDev in case of unlocking the bootloader.
I've actually not had a problem making or receving calls when using a Bluetooth head set.
However i have some time had problems listing to music on the headset when i'm out in public, however i think that might be the headset.
Would changing the radio change that?

Again, such sentence tells me I wasn't clear enough.
I've never had a problem making or receiving calls when using a Bluetooth headset too!.
Indeed, the problem occurs when, and only when I activate the bluetooth during a call.
My audio has completely stopped working, except for Bluetooth which seems unaffected. Whether it's thru the earpeice, the speaker, or line out, the audio is nothing but static and crackles...and what I can only assume is the emergency tone (very annoying, very loud, rising pitch squeal). If I try to play audio or video, the sound crackles and then the file stops playing. This is both speaker and line out. If I try to listen to Google Voice message, it's nothing but static.
Phone is currently running CleanROM 6, which I just reinstalled fresh after a complete internal wipe hoping that would fix my issue, but it hasn't. Problem originally surfaced while running LiquidSmooth 2.9 and then I restored my CR6 Nandroid which, of course, didn't help either. Baseband has been updated to current version, which was also no help. Again, BT audio is just fine.
Thoughts, ideas, help?!!!
Thanks, Mike
Tried two different kernels, also no change.
Can anyone confirm that Bluetooth audio output does NOT go through the soundboard?
Hi,
I have a technical question regarding changing/re-routing microphone.
Here's my problem, it seems like my micro stopped working properly recently (maybe after a drop). The main microphone produces very little sound input and because of that, voice call doesn't work -- people can't hear me very well at all from the other side. Also voice recording doesn't work.
Spaker phone mode and headset mode works just fine. So i know the main-heandset-mic is broken.
My solution:
So I've tried a few approach, including editing the mixer_paths.xml file in system/ect/mixer_paths.xml
I have successfully replaced the main-mic with the speaker-mic and this seems to help a little bit. I'm able to record sound again using the speaker-mic.
But during call, it won't active that mic. I think android turns off all the other mic (both speaker-mic and headphone-mic, if it doesn't detect a headset plugged in and if I'm on normal handset mode).
Does any developers who knows android well enough to help me with this? I think somehow if I can have it so that android won't turn off my spaeker-phone mic when I'm in normal call mode would work, since the I've already replaced the mixter path profile of main-mic with that of speaker-mic.
Hope this is not too confusing..... I've trying my best to describe the problem. it's been very frustrating.
Hello!
A piece of my headphone's plug broke stuck in the line-in for my Nexus 5, so the phone stuck in Headphone mode (as the piece forces on pins i guess). I started to use SoundAbout to force between earpiece and speakers for different scenarios. Everything works fine, i can make normal phone calls, listen to media and stuff, but i can't make Viber calls. I can hear Viber's ringtone, and i can hear the participant's voice, but they can't hear me. I tried to mess with SoundAbout to try different settings, to no avail. It's as if with Viber the mic is completely turned off or something.
Has anyone stumbled upon on something similar? Maybe with WhatsApp, Skype? Is there a workaround for this?
I know i should open the phone, try to get rid of the piece in the line-in, but i just haven't done it yet.
I'm running on Android 5.0.1
Thanks for any suggestions!
My OPO is running Android 8.1.0 (LineageOS version 15.1-201800121-Unofficial-bacon)
I notice that when I want to use my external mic with Whatsapp or phone app, other side just can't hear me.
To test the mic it self i made a recording using the a microfoon app, and even when my whisper, I can hear what I have recorded.
that means that mic is working fine.
Anybody an idea what the problem could be?
i want to give an update to my problem.
This week I installed a new Rom, CarbonROM, to see if this could solve my issue.
But unfortunately, i am not able to make a video call. other side just can hear me.
Also magisk Module Android Mic Fix did not help.
Found it very strange that I can use my mic without any problem. i can make recordings, I can use OK google, and i am also able use Speech to text inside Whatsapp without any problem.
But i cannot make a video call or use my external mic when doing a normal phone call
