I bought a new sony headphone with microphone today. Though it says "headset for iphone calls", the mic actually works. The issue is that its sensitivity is way too low and people can hardly hear me through the headphone mic.
it's really frustrating cuz I already had a headphone and I buy this one mainly for making phone calls...
So my question is that, is there a way to control the voltage gain of the mic independently?
thank you guys in advance~~~~~

When I use wired headphones the speaker balance between each ear is way off. I dont notice it at all with the regular speakers or even with bluetooth stereo headphones.
I saw something in the faq that maybe its a firmware issue.
Just wondering what other people's experience with this issue is and why the thought is software and not hardware.
My problem is that the Earphones produce a weird bug but others do not and work fine, Lol?
Doesnt Anyone face this annoying problem?????

My Bose QC 15 headphones had a problem with the iPhone-compatible cable, that includes a volume control and microphone.
Another "audio only" Bose cable that omits the volume control and microphone is also available off eBay for ~$10.
I asked Bose for an Android-compatible version with volume control and microphone, and they said they're "considering making one".
normally the headphone jack provides a link for headphones with e.g. microphones or buttons (to accept calls), which uses the same wires as for the audio.
the effect can be triggered by e.g. dirty connectors. so I once had a new pair of headphones and on the connector jack there was a bit of debris (glue or whatever left). they did also cause the phone to pause/play every now and then. so I cleaned them and then they did work without problems. also sometimes the connectors have to "grind in" until there is a good electrical connection.
however as it is steadily pausing/playing on your iPhone 5 headphones, I dont think theres an issue with the connection itself.
it might just be that the iPhone 5 headphones are trying to "communicate" with your phone, which it doesnt support and therefore is misinterpreting it as the start/stop commands. you cant do anything about it I guess.
(except dont buy apple products anymore )
Hello, my friend has an older phone with Android Gingerbread and she bought nice shiny new Sennheiser big headset with combined jack for both input and output. When she plugs it in and calls me she can hear me but I cannot hear her, because microphone does not work. The jack is totally the same as on other earbuds headphones with integrated mic which we have and which work with this phone just fine. The new shiny ones work with my newer (Xperia Z3 compact) phone with mic too. I don't understand what can be a difference. There is no settings in this LG Android regarding headphones or microphone. The icon in the top bar is always headphones regardless of if I plug the earbuds or the Sennheiser where mic does not work.
Any idea how to fix this or what can be causing this?
so this looks like a mystery I guess :-]
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
What is the device of your friend?
i tried in AUX in my car to talk to people and on speaker phone yet they dont hear me unless i take the aux out or remove the speaker phone
what seems to be the problem?
Hi dear friends,
I'm having a weird issue with wired (jack) headphones during calls : I can hear my own microphone !
For example during a call, if I'm in windy conditions, I can hear the wind.
During such scenarios, my phone is in a pocket or in a bag, so the mic I hear is the one on the headphone's cable.
This problem arises with either the headphones provided with the Pixel, or with any other wired headphones kit (I've tested with a Samsung).
On headphones with volume control, I can even hear a loud sound when volume up or down ...
And this issue is here out of the box, without any APP installed.
My phone has already been replaced by Google support, but the issue is still there one the new one.
Does any of you Pixel 3a owners, have seen such an issue with its phone ?
This is normal operation.
If you are wondering why the noise cancellation isn't working better, you have to understand how it works. It compares the audio from the mic on the headphone wire with the audio from a mic(s) on the phone. Anything that both mics pick up is cancelled by the noise cancellation software because it is considered an "outside noise". But anything picked up on just the wired mic is considered part of the conversation and won't be cancelled out. That means if your phone is in your pocket and it isn't getting the same wind noise (for example), then the phone will not cancel out that audio because it's only being picked up by the wired mic and not both mics.
Hopefully that helps. If you want wind noise to be cancelled out, try holding your phone in your hand and see if that helps. But the wind noise may not be picked up even then depending on which way the wind is blowing vs what orientation your phone is being held in, so you might have to hold the phone a couple of different ways to find one that works the best at that time.

Thanks for your reply
My guess is that this issue is not related to noise cancellation.
1) I've indeed mention that, in my test scenario, my phone was in my pocket. But I can remember of several times I was holding the phone in my hand, or phone was lying on a table, and even then the sound captured by both mics was audible by me.
2) When I'm in call with another person, and I'm hearing the wind in my own mic, the other person does NOT hear the wind.
Isn't anyone here using jack wired headphones ?
