[Q] mic volume low - Sony Xperia M2

since updating to kitkat my mic volume has been very low, the ok google command, and voice recording in any app is useless unless you hold your mouth 2cm away from the mic. I have rooted and played around with the mixer paths file, and nothing happened. Can anyone tell me how else to fix this problem?

I can confirm the same is happening with my M2 as well. Maybe that's something the .40 release fixes? I'm on .37 atm

there's no fix atm. it has to do with something they broke in the kitkat release

I have the same problem
18.3.C.0.37
kitkat 4.4.2
D2306
I returned to JelyBean 4.3

If you have root you can try to download alsamixer and play a little bit with the volumes.
If you find some controls and know what they do, be sure to post it here

Edit: no luck
can anyone upload the mixer_paths_[whatever] files from their /system/etc folder if you are on JB 4.3?

Same problem here.
4.4.2
18.3.C.0.37

News?

Cyanogenmod 11 M9 4.4.4 low speaker volume

Hello to all guys and sorry for my bad English.
I installed it on my s2plus the Cyanogenmod 11 M9 [4.4.4] but I noticed that the volume during the call is very low.
I tried to follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400231
but the sound folder does not exist.
Is there anything I can do to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
Bye.
No fix. CM known bug. You have to press volume up then down in call to "fix" the low volume bug.

Thank you all for the answers.
Even I with CyanogenMod I am very well except this little detail
Earlier versions have the same problem?
Is there any other custom rom that you advise me to try for a daily use?
Thanks in advance.

Good too but for me Paranoid is the best(personal opinion)
Thanks for the replies

I tried the paranoidandroid, but I have problems with the wifi and now also with the 3G connection.
The cyangenmod 10.2 has also the problem of the volume?
actually cm11 m9 it's the best rom for our device.
if you don't like this bugs you can switch to stock, where you don't have those bugs.
but i think you can get rid of this, it's not very big problems, only for low call volume and some wifi disconnects..
btw, wifi bug is a bug for all kitkat devices, hopefully in L that will be fixed.
stay tunned
The stock 4.2.2 rom of this phone is nothing short of embarrassing.
Too slow and at times it appeared a total blockade of the phone for which I had to turn it off and on again.
With cyangenmod 11 m9 I was fine but the audio is really too low and often if you are outdoors or in a crowded place it is really hard to listen to those who speak to you.
However, they are passed to the resurrection remix and at the moment I'm not having any problem and the audio feels good.
I hope that the short-tem cyano solve this bug to be able to re-install.
Thank you.
Bye

[Q] Paranoid Androif + Viper4Android

Hi,
I have some problems using Viper4Android + PA.
Previously I used the Stock Based Elixr ROM. Viper4Android was shipped with it and I instantly fell in love with it.
But now I am using PA 4.6 Beta1 and I am unable to use it.
I installed it and activated the driver.
When I check the status of it, the "process" field says "no".
I attached three screenshots with information.
May someone help me?
Thanks in advance

Thank you for your help.
I installed it previously from the thread you have mentioned. I did a clean install and it didn't work.
I did the build prop "trick" and it works now.
Good news!
On my own ROM its never said "yes" for Processing, but I know it worked because I can hear the difference when you toggle something :/

Mine says yes, so long as audio is actually playing and I am looking at the tab that relates to how I am listening (eg I look at headphones tab if I am using headphones)

Yeah, but mine always said "no" regardless what tab I was looking at, or if I was using headphones or speaker while playing audio. Don't know why, but it still worked as normal, that's what matters

Question, I know as posted it replaces a commit, but what sound issues does this actually fix?

I took a phone call with the old zip and didnt have an issue. What was the problem with the microphone? Just curious.
I installed the zip and phone works great! I can now hear on the speaker.
Thank you for the patch!
I read from the latest changes log that this fix will not be needed for the next nightly as it is set to be patched.

Does it work right with the new commit ?
I see lot's of changes in the file (presumably good changes as they come from stock) with this commit odd behaviors can be expected.
Have you tested 06 build and can you give feedback please ?
I would myself but I'm on metered connection for the days. Thank you in advanced !
That fix doesnt work for me

I think that the problem was that in some apps the mic won't work properly. For example, in Bria or WhatsApp it wouldn't record any sound.
This fix has a weird issue for me. I'm using it on RR and it helped me a lot with headphones sound. But the normal speakers sound has a weird but where if you put your phone on portrait it will sound as usual (without the fix) but if you put it in landscape (fliping it to the left) the sound will get higher. Is this only happening to me?

It's been an issue for some time.
Will this work on latest RR?
Disnt work for me. Lentislte/sm-g906k @ cm14.1
Didn't work for me too...
I'm running latest AICP nightlies, the fix just does nothing at all...
With stock ROM the sound was really louder.
