[Q] Something wrong with microphone - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello,
I'm running CM10.0.0. Recently I noticed that whenever an app wants to use voice input (google now, voice recorder) the audio is very quiet and I have to yell to get google now to pick up what I'm saying. I tried wiping everything and doing a fresh install of CM10, but I think it might be a hardware issue. Phone calls still work perfectly fine, and the mic on the headphones works fine (google now works with the mic on headphones). Any troubleshooting or tinkering I can do? Seems to me that if calls work, voice input should also work.
Thanks!
EDIT: I took the back off and cleaned away some debris/gunk, and it works fine now.

[Q] handset microphone doesn't work well, speaker mic works fine?

This seemed to only recently have come up.. but the handset microphone does not pick up sound nearly as well. It is maybe 1/10th the amplitutde. I've tested phone calls to myself (to GVoice headphones, other phones, etc.) and the speaker mic works great. When you take it off speaker mode it barely picks up sound at all.
When I use Evernote voice note recorder or a simply voice recorder I get similar results of extremely attenuated sound.
I do not _believe it is a CM10/custom ROM issue as this new behavior seems to have only started recently (past 2 days?) and was running the same stable ROM the whole time. I haven't yet isolated, but it could be a bluetooth problem (doubtful) - as I recently paired with two devices sometime in the past 3 days, or maybe some App has taken control over the amplification of the handset microphone.. but I install/uninstall so many apps to test throughout any given day this would be hard to isolate.
Has anyone had this issue before??
I'll go ahead and reset to a clean ROM, stock ROM, etc. and see what results I get, but I wanted to post a Q first to see if anyone ran into the same issue. Thanks in advance!

So.. I plugged my Headphones that include a Mic that i got with my phone into the audio jack and do another test.. and everything is clear.
This is stupid ..I wonder if anyone has a fix for this.
Think Any of the CM 10.1 Daily's have fixed this issue?
This is the main reason why I dont run CM10. I havent found a fix other then using a headset or bluetooth with skype. Once there is a fix I will sure return to CM10

[Q] Google Now, Sound Search, and Voice Typing do not work!

I'm relatively experienced with rooting and romming my phone (been doing basic stuff since the first android phone), but I can't seem to figure this one out... I'm rooted and I have a 4.3 ROM running with it's respective kernel. I've tried other 4.3 ROMs and some 4.4 ROMs as well, but I'm consistently having the following problem: Google Now doesn't hear anything from the microphone, Sound Search doesn't hear anything, and Voice Typing doesn't hear anything. If I plug in a headset or headphones with a microphone they all work fine...
I tested the microphone in other apps like sound recorder, and it works fine. So I'm totally confused as to why Google's apps seem to be incapable of activating the microphone... It's quite aggrevating, as it renders these features near useless.
Anyone have any ideas?

Mic Issue Hangouts

I've been running my d850 on CM12, CM11, and Cloudy for about two weeks each
However, when i am in a video chat with both hangouts and skype, my phone's microphone doesnt work, and it doesnt work with my headphones either. It is possible that it isnt a mic issue, as it works with standard phone calls. I can hear them, but they cant hear me. I tried the same thing with my tablet on the same network and same apps and it worked fine. Does anyone know what i should do?

When on call w/ speakerphone my mic doesn't work

I was on Blisspop 5.0.2 then went to 5.1.1 and lost the ability to use my speakerphone, regular calls are fine. Soundhound works fine as well as Google Now, so I believe the mic is working. I can hear the other person fine, however they cannot hear me at all or I sound very far away. I've since wiped reverted to stock CM12.1 and still no dice. I've tried the lowmic zip and that did not help either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have searched and the only similar post there were no replies. Thank you!
