So I flashed this ROM (xtrasmooth from xdaforums) and then I had my microphone wouldnt work: Can't use GoogleNow ("Ok google"), and I can only make calls using headset or using speakerphone (which use another mic?).
Basically : Unless I'm on speakerphone during calls, people can't hear me talking.
I made some search in the ROM's thread and found out I wasn't the only one with this issue : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56735315&postcount=105[1]
I figured everything would go back to normal if I did a Factory Reset with Nexus Toolkit. and then... nothing changed, no mic sound. I bought this phone in order to benefits from the rooting and rom capabilities, and now I'm left with a mic-less phone.
Is there something I can do. A factory reset resets EVERYTHING right ? Is there something else I can try and is it completly.... dead.
Is there something I can do ? Please help =/
Someone posted a fix in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/multiple-problems-flashing-5-0-stock-t2937913 which is to flash the officiel img from nov.12. . However, it did not work for me. Still no sound during incalls etc, microphone doesn't pick any sound.
Sorry for bumping this, But I,m getting desesperate. tried everything =/
The XDA rules are you wait 24 hours before bumping. Please don't break the rules.
I actually found that my microphone only just works (so quiet) when I upgrade to Lollipop, that people cannot hear me when I call.
I have to make sure the build.prop contains the following:
Code:
persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=false
persist.audio.fluence.voicecomm=false
persist.audio.fluence.voicerec=false
persist.audio.fluence.voicespeaker=false

Has anyone commented on an echo effect (either yours or their voice) since editing? This should be observable only on their end, that said.

Hello Everyone,
I have recently purchased a bright red Nexus 5 32GB, and found that there is a problem with mic.
I have to speak loudly or repeat my words so that the other person on call will be able to hear me.
I have gone through this thread and found that am not the only person with this problem and users have also raised the same in this google group.
Users are stating that they have RMA'd the phone but the problem still exists.
I too have done testing with sound recorder apps and they all seem to record my voice properly.
I want to find out if this problem is only in the stock ROM or does it also effect custom ROMs and custom kernels.
so, anyone using custom ROM or kernel can please check and update us if the mic is working properly in your phone, can the other person hear you clearly. can you check any voice recording app and google keep and confirm if the voice recordings are of same volume and clarity.
Thank You.
It exists for everyone and there is no known fix as yet

Ah, so it's not my network then... lots of people saying I'm either very quiet or garbled when I call them. I wonder if the noise cancelling needs tweaking? Could be that it's partially cancelling our voices.

It is indeed believed to be a problem with the noise cancellation algorithm.
some rooted users change a value in their build.prop to "turn it off" but I cannot say for sure it works for everyone.
Waiting for a fix.

i believe its because of noise cancellation.
to check it, i tried using ' ok google ' on my home screen. it wasn't picking up my voice.
then i've closed the secondary mic on top with my finger and said ' ok google ' and it works as it should.
this is working even with my phone calls.
Just tested with the new 4.4 image and the problem remains from when i was on 4.2 image. Anytime I place a caller on speakerphone, they report they have a bad echo in their handset while they are talking. Tested with multiple people. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Can microphones be disabled one by one in mixer-paths.xml?
A lot of echoing still going on when placing people on speakerphone. Everyting stock, newest OTA.
I read somewhere that disabling bottom mic helps because it's nearest to the loudspeaker. Can any mic be disabled separately on mixer_paths.xml?
Would like to also keep my phone not rooted since at the moment I don't have time fiddle with my phone a lot. Would it be possible to probably create an app where you could determine that for example when Skype is on speakerphone it only uses top mic? Or when using sound recorder it uses all the microphones?
Any progress on this? Got the phone not too long ago, but every time I put someone on speaker they report hearing their own echo. This happens on stock 38r, as well as other kernels and roms.
i read somewhere that its because the mic is near the speaker so the sound comes out the loud speaker and goes into the mic hence why the person can hear them selves. my thought it is there any way of adding an option to have the other persons voice come out the ear piece speaker instead of the speaker at the bottom? could this solve the problem?
Guys, copy the following mixer_paths.xml file to replace with the one you have in /etc (requires root)
I uploaded it here:
http://www.filedropper.com/mixerpaths
I'm not exactly sure which part of its content solved the problem, I just took it from a custom ROM that did not have this issue (SlimKat) and put it in the rom I use (that DID have the echo issue).
Solved the problem for me, hopefully it will solve it for you too.

I've been experiencing a very frustrating issues where the mic is not working during phone call. I can hear the the other person but they cannot hear me, and if they can it's very very low, so low that they can't make out what I'm saying.
However, the microphone does work again if I go to speaker-phone mode. So i know the Mic itself is working (sound recorder works also).
I think somehow the phone thinks a headset is plugged in and disable the mic unless I'm on speaker-phone mode.
I don't think it is a ROM issues as I have tried a large number of different ROMS, including flashing stock OPO image. None worked.
If anyone know a solution to this issue please help me out. It's very frustrating that I can't make phone calls and have to turn on speaker-phone or use a headset.
Try a different Kernel, had the problem with my 3 different Headsets, i tryed the same ROM with some different Kernels and with the AK Kernel everything worked fine...not with the Furnace! Also try to flash UKM over a Custom Kernel. Check out the AK Kernel there you can find everything you need. If you have done everything right as in the "manual" open up Synapse...there is a point called "Sound", there you can find the point "Microphone", volume it up and try again. if its still not working make a full wipe that your device loses all data and reinstall the original CyanogenMod 11s with this tool here or any tool you want!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/oneplus-one-toolkit-manudroid19-gui-t2807418
If its still not working delete again everything with the tool, install the CM11s with this tool again, install the CWM Recovery, flash the crDroid Rom (best ROM and everything works for me!), flash GAPPS, flash AK Kernel and last flash UKM!
This is my current setup and everything is working

No luck here. : /
I've tried everything from flashing different ROMs to flashing different kernel. I even went back to factory reset, lock/unlock bootloader to wipe device. None of that work. Very frustrating. I'm starting to think it's a hardware issues, since trying out that many ROMs didn't help at all.
Did you informed oneplus already?

Yep, filed a support/warranty request. But god knows how long it'll take for them to get back to me. There's no phone number support or anything. : /

Hi,
unfortunately I have the same problem. I've tried to fix it even modifying the system/etc/mixer_paths.xml but nothing works (http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...icrophone-ok-google-low-t2805568/post53914918). I noticed when that changing the values of hph-mic and anc-mic to 0, then handsfree mode doesn't work neither. Therefore we have clues to think the main mic is which has the problem.
Curiosly, I do not have had this issue out of the box, I think it began after 30O update. However I've downgraded to 25R and the issue remains.
I hope you the best luck
Regards

Cynogen 11s team is working to add support for CTIA headphones soon. See my post in similar thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55186894&postcount=25)
OK figured it out I uninstalled the latest hangouts update and made and received several calls all seems to be ok now
Is there any update regarding this issue? I still have this mic problem during calls and no clue on how to fix it.
OPO microphone problem is a hardware problem
Same problem here.
One morning main microphone in my OPO died - no one can hear me during call.
Recording sound with main mic gives some barely audible sounds.
tried reboot/factory defaults /root with fixing mixer paths - to no avail
The only solution is to call with speakerphone or bluetooth headset or normal headset.
Looks like hardware problem. Sadly OPO support sucks.

I have a similar problem. Did you find a fix? I did everything. Restarted, ROM changed and everything!
As I wrote - no fix - IMHO it is a hardware fault. Still waiting for response from OPO support in hope for receiving RMA.
I am also thinking to return the phone because of this issue.
Just adding that I also have this problem - phone was working fine until yesterday.
Now mic is extremely quiet in call, unless I switch to speakerphone then it works fine (Video recording sound is fine also, but Google speech to text etc is not working)
I installed Swiftkey last night but I think its unrelated
Has anyone found any solutions for this problem yet?
Yes, I sold the phone!
:laugh:

I´ve opened a ticket. I advice to do the same.
- They will send you a link, with the ZIP-file in this link you have to reflash the rom. But probably it won´t work.
- Then tell them that it doesn´t work (of course only if it doesn´t work).
- Apply a RMA request
- Send them your ONE
- Receive an new one.
I´m waiting for the TNT courier, at the moment.
same problem here. No response from support. now recently even the emails to [email protected] are bouncing back with error, cannot deliver your email to the address.
So.. I'm having the same problem now..
I can't even submit a RMA, as I bought the phone from a person without the invite - so I have the receipt and everything, but when trying to submit the RMA, I have to select the order - Which I have none of, isn't that just wonderfull?
Did any of you find a solution?
I've had Samsung GS3 and GS4 with almost the same issues now and it is killing me, my will to keep living with these problems are close to none...
Hello,
I have a Mi4 with TWRP and CM13, latest nightly from today, but the problem also occured on the nightlies before.
During calls the other party complains about hearing himself. On the internet I found ideas like:
- disabling the "OK Google"-recognition on every screen (although this held true for Skype-video-calls)
- lowering in-call volume
I did not find any other ideas. Do you have an idea?
EDIT: I also tried two things:
1. entering the following things -> no changes
su
setprop persist.audio.fluence.mode false
setprop persist.audio.handset.mic analog
reboot
2. disabling the mic while calling -> success, the other party has no echo anymore
This of course is no useful solution, as normally a mic is needed for calling.
I'm facing the same problem. Did you find a solution?
nope
Same here.
Posted this in another forum. After trying a few things it appears that microphone is relaying sound from the speaker back to the caller. It's like the microphone is too sensitive so it picks up the callers voice from the speaker.
yes, it is definitely a problem with the mic. as soon as you deactivate it, the other party has no echo anymore.
EDIT: I wonder if this is the case, because in the native MIUI there was a noise-suppression and dual-mic option which may be good for avoiding this problem. I highly doubt CM will implement this specifically for this phone. Right now I am always calling with a headset which works fine.
EDIT: Headset isn't working anymore too. Callers say I am way too silent. Soundrecorder App confirms that mic sensitivity is too low.
I think the solution might be here, thought I am not able to understand completley what they are doing there: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/NIGHTLIES-2619
It should be solved after installing the next nightly:
https://www.cmxlog.com/13/cancro/
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/139932/
Could someone pls give a feedback after installing it? I switched from nightly to snapshot-channel and therefore am not able to check.

Is the problem still existing with the new snapshot release?
I'd like to know that too! I switched to nightlies now and some people I talked with say it's still there, some don't.

I heard from some guys using latest Snapshot that the echo is gone but when they make a hands free call, the speaker and mic is very quiet/ low. So probably the problem is not totally fixed right now.
I'm on Nightly 13/04 right now, no echo at all but the phone is turning of during call (after I tried to turn on the display). Is there another behaviour on the Nightly you are using?
I need your help guys, none of my research came up with soulution..
Even tried wiping and re installing rom.
My microphone doesn't work during call, sound recording, anything. but well I turn on the speaker mode in the call suddenly they other guy can here me.
Do you have any idea how to fix it? I hope its not a physical damage to the mic.
Had this as well. What helped me, was editing the build.prop
Replace/add the following: ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=none persist.audio.fluence.voicerec=true persist.audio.fluence.speaker=false use.voice.path.for.pcm.voip=true
Hope this helps.
had exactly the same problem except no-one was able to give me an answer or possible solution. hope this works, will report back
