Hi,
I've got a HTC sensation, which I have rooted and is now running Bruce's CM10. The problem with my phone is that some of the time the microphone doesn't function. This may be a hardware problem, but i'm not sure. The (headset)microphone works if i plug in the headset and it does work some of the time. Once I experienced a spontaneous cutoff of the microphone during a call.
What I'm lokking for is the driver/apk which controls the microphone. Does anyone have this, or know where to get it?
Greetings,
Martijn
I found that this is a hardware problem. Have to replace the mic.

Hi, I've recently upgraded my Desire Rom to gingerbread and now my headset doesn't work. Tried original equipment and aftermarket headphones and the sound still comes out of the onboard speaker when playing music. Phone works normally. Can anyone help?

are u talking about Handsfree not working with ur Desire?
handsfree and music, headphones don't work at all. It's like they're not even plugged in!
I experienced the same thing today.
Upgraded my HTC Desire to Gingerbread. I have never rooted my device. Nor used custom roms. Always stock.
The GB upgrade was provided by HTC herself.
Today I want to use my stock headphone but my desire doesn't even detects the jack beeing inserted. Also FM radio complaines about inserting the headphone in order to use the antenna fo receiption.
With FroYo I used my headphone numerous times without any problem.
Since GB it lookes like it isn't even connected.
But... first place to complain about this would be HTC I think.
Just wanted to let you know you're not the only one.
I had the same problem, but on Froyo. I found rebooting solved it.
Working now
Hi all,
don't know why but my headset works now. I have done nothing, it just started working.
Volume is low though.
Probably useless, but have you tried with different headphones?
Hi,
This is my first post after months of reading and waiting for the ICS RUU. I've installed it and no issues rose for me, just a strange behaviour with the headset I've always successfully used with my DS. Now when i have a phone call the mic part of the headset is not working, the person at the other end doesnt hear me, anyone has the same problem?
Thanks!

Here no headphones mic problem...(me too with official ICS ruu update).
i have no problem on that but what my problem after official ICS RUU i had a very low in-call volume the volume before i update it to official ICS is OK, but now i cant hear any call when the environment is a bit noisy. Had check my setting of the volume is "MAX".
Ive just tried again the stock headset (found it in the phone box) and mic works...funny I'm wondering why it doesn't catch the mic with the diddy beats, It's a metal connector and it worked fine on GB...It would be nice to know if there's a mic setting flag somewhere in Android when you plug in a headset...

Even I am facing headphone issue after ICS RUU upgrade. My headphone mic doesnt respond during call's. Someone pls can suggest..
Had a problem with my hands-free 's mic also, even before the RUU to ICS.
So I take it I might harmed the thing.
Yet, the ear-buds worked just fine and I was able to listen to radio and music.
Now, there is no radio or music coming from the hands-free set *or* any other headset I use.
At first, I thought it must be the jack hole. It could be destroyed somehow. Humidity, or something else.
But I tested them with a call, and they were working just fine.
(The incoming audio, anyway...)
So, there is not a hardware problem with it, or the headphones. (I wonder if there is any problem with the hands-free set, also...)
That leads us to the assumption that there is some kind of bug (or something) in the software part of the phone.
I would be curious to find out more, since the vast majority of my phone's SD card is filled with music and pod-casts.

Hi, I have the same issue (I think) when you switch to loudspeaker can people hear you just fine? I have been looking into trying to make the phone microphone act as it does in loudspeaker all the time. I have created a new post here:

I'm with the same issue. People can only hear me when phone is in speaker state. The speaker however doesn't work so then I can't hear them. When not in speaker state I can hear the other party but they can't hear me. I figure that the microphone and speaker it located in the lower part of the phone, behind the little cover so maybe that whole section "went out".
Being able to re-route the microphone used in speaker mode to be used all the time would somehow solve the issue so that would be great.

You have a broken microphone. When you use the headphones or loudspeaker phone uses a second microphone.
Hi. Keeping to forum rules. Short but to the point. GO!
Have HTC Sensation XE (z715a). My first HTC phone. Android 4.0.3
The problem: The front speaker of the phone (that you place your ear to) does not produce perfectly clear audio of the callers voice when recieving phone calls. Often the audio has a distortion to it best described as vibrations (so a bit like someone speaking through a kazoo). When volume level is at 50% or below there is no problem. Above 50% it starts and of course it worst at 100% volume level. Quite annoying!
Returned the phone to the Telco for repair. They claim to have replaced the speaker however the audio distortion still occurs.
Is this a common problem with just Sensation phones? All HTC phones? Hence should I ask for a new replacement phone or is it just as likely to have this annoying quirk?
Many thanks in advance !
Few months ago I had the same problem. Buy speaker on ebay and change it, it is not dificult, really.

I read it could be the radio or ril that could cause this problem. I'm still searching for a fix for my Sensation on firmware 3.33 and viper Rom, sense 4+
It's a T-Mobile US device radio 11.24A.3504.31M
If anyone knows a repair other than a hardware replacement part please pm me.
I'm having an issue with my Idol 3 5.5". It functions normally when in handset or speaker mode I can hear the other party and they can hear me, but when I connect to my car's Bluetooth people tell me they can't hear me or it sounds like the mic is far away and under water. I did not have this problem with my last phone so I do not believe the issue is with my car (it's a Grom unit) I have only had this phone for a couple weeks and have had the issue from the beginning.
I'm running 6.0.1 stock ROM build 7VAB-UEB0
So far I have tried:
turning off and on Bluetooth on my phone during or right before calls
unpairing and repairing my car
I am charging an old Bluetooth earpiece to try that today and make sure it isn't an issue with my car.
Anyone else have this issue and were you able to solve it?
Me too, dont know what to do

Not the same issue. That thread is talking about poor/low microphone when recording video. This thread is about poor microphone quality through bluetooth, which does not use the phone's microphone.
I'm still trying to determine what the issue is. I tried using an old bluetooth headset and the test call was fine so I will try it tomorrow while driving to confirm. It might be that the Idol doesn't like certain bt devices.
