Microphone problem - Asus Transformer TF700

In the beginning mic worked fine, but one day it started capturing sound only if you talk from up to 2-3 cm from it, otherwise it captures complete silence. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot that? Thanks!

[Q] nexus 5 microphone broken? Only noise in video, skype,etc

Hey team, I haz a sad.
I got my Nexus 5 on Thursday last week and have been very pleased with the shape, the way it handles, and with KitKat. THus I was very excited
to take it out and play with it over the weekend.
I was trying out the camera, the GPS, etc. I shot a short video as well. When I tried to play the video back, I got maybe 5 seconds of good audio, then just static/noise for the rest of the video. Weird, I thought. I tried again, same thing. THen I noticed my voice search was no longer working. Then I tried a test skype call, you know, the call testing center. The playback of the test call was just static as well. I think my microphone is broken...
Is there any setting or combination of settings I could try to fix this before I call Google support? I've been all over the googles and g+ looking for similar issues and haven't seen anything... maybe I just got a bad one?

I'm having the same problem! Any luck fixing it?? What is interesting is that if I call a number and I turn the microphone mute on and off, I can hear that when it is on mute there is less "fuzz" white noise. It is as if the microphone is picking up something, just not actual noises...
If you hven't flashed anything (ROMs, recovery, etc) and your phone is COMPLETELY FACTORY STOCK, you could try seeing into a factory reset for the phone. Some may have issue with software to produce the static noise. But, if the reset doesn't work, then it's the hardware and you need to return it for replacement through Google. If you have flashed custom software, then it may have been a bad flash or something related. Tell me more about what you have on you phone.

Proximity sensor and sound issues

Hi everyone,
I've been on stock roms since I got my Nexus 5 (almost two years, so it's still on warranty [local law]), and since I updated to 6.0, I started having issues with the proximity sensor. Sometimes it wouldn't turn off the screen in calls, and it would generally stop working (I use gravity screen, which relies heavily on the proximity sensor, so that allowed me to become more aware of the problem. The proximity sensor would resume normal operation after a while.
I googled the issue, and apparently it's common since the 6.0 update, so I assumed a software bug. Anyway, last night the problem got worse. For example, if I was playing a video on youtube, with audio coming from the speakers (didn't try with headphones), the video would go silent. It can happen during playback (suddenly it just goes silent) or you start the video and it is silent. Other media apps report the same behaviour. This is an on/off problem, as it might or might not occur.
Also, during calls, it also started silencing the phone speaker. As with all the problems I reported, this is on/off. When the phone speaker is silent, the proximity sensor stops working. When this happens, I'm able to use the speaker phone to actually engage in the conversations.
Another thing that is really weird is that, if a media app stops reproducing sound (although sound should be playing), and I start a phone call immediately, the phone speaker will not emit sound but if I change it to speaker phone (audio coming from the speakers) the speakers work fine!
I've since flashed CWM recovery and a cyanogenmod snapshot (cm-12.1-20150901-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO237-hammerhead.zip) and the problem persists!
I'm writing this thread in the hopes that someone might know a fix for these issues, or if someone knows if these are common. Otherwise, I'll have to send the phone for warranty...
I searched around for this problem and couldn't find a reference to it. I was not very thorough, however, so I apologize if I missed something.
TL;DR - Having some issues regarding the proximity sensor (it stops working and resumes working for no reason) and when this happens, no sound comes out of the phone speaker during calls and no sound comes from the speakers during media playback. When the problem happens during a call, the speaker phone can be activated to interact with the other person. Does anyone know anyone that might be experiencing the same issues?
Thanks!

Sound Bug - Bottom speaker sound going through ear speaker/not working at all.

Occasionally the sound in the bottom speakers will stop working and some apps will play through the ear speaker instead. When this happens Google Music, Youtube and some other apps won't work at all. For example pressing play in either of those apps does nothing, as in the play button never changes to a pause button. My alarm app on the other hand plays through the ear speaker instead of not working at all. The ear speaker sound volume is very quiet and doesn't appear to be controlled by the media volume either.
The only remedy that I've been able to find for this is a phone reboot
Wanted to bump this thread -
I originally thought this issue was related to Bluetooth because I use multiple bluetooth devices, but this has happened again recently when I didn't use any Bluetooth devices.
I have the exact same issue, and it's occurrence is random. This started happening a month back. I'm guessing this is due to some software update or something, but its really annoying and the only fix is a reboot.
Anyone has any ideas, whats going on ?
It's been happening multiple times a day lately! It's gotten substantially worse over the past month. I was watching a video, sent a text and when I went to resume it wouldn't play - low and behold the bug came back.. definitely appears to be completely random.

With my connection to what?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using XDA-Developers mobile app
This problem is driving me crazy
I have the exact same issue. Factory reset and update to newest firmware didn't help any idea?
Wash your phone. And wait till it dry.
I (and other person that I know) have the same issues.
No sound from bottom, and sometimes during the call no audio (I can't ear evrything and the other don't ear me).
Now I'm tring the mobile phone in safety mode.
And I've seen (for the edge version) that next android could fix the problem.
Someone have any update?
Have you tried the safety mode?
Im pretty sure its caused by Facebook messenger and Skype
From what I can tell, this seems to happen when you are playing any kind of audio, such as a video or game, and then receive a notification. You then go to the notification to respond to it and go back to your app that was playing the audio and the issue appears. It seems to be an issue, at least with me, whenever notification is received and subsequently answered.

Intermittent Loudspeaker Issue

I haven't seen anyone else reporting this issue, but (unlike the distortion issue) I am also having an issue with my loudspeaker. It only works some of the time.
I've missed notifications, alarms, and had issues listening to music, getting Google Assistant to talk, and watching youtube. Sometimes my Pixel just makes no sounds. When I notice it, I can often get audio working by trying several different audio producing apps, although I have had times where I simply have to wait, and the next time I try (maybe hours later) the audio is working again.
Has anyone else had this issue? I've definitely not been very impressed by this phone, wish I could go back to my N5.

XZP anyone else have mic cut out/clicking issues? (XZ premium)

Really hoping i'm not the only one experiencing this issue.
Whenever I make a call using the main microphone (not speakerphone) after a few minutes people say i sound "muffled" or they hear a "clicking" sound. The clicking sound happens just before my mic cuts out entirely and the other person cant hear me until i switch to speakerphone. Oddly enough, switching from speakerphone then turning it off solves the issue for a minute before it happens all over again. Additionally resetting the phone seems to fix the issue for an hour or so. I have yet to try and repeat this error using a VOIP call like FB messenger.
Anyone else experiencing this, or can offer some help?
