Microphone not working on phone calls - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
After struggling to get microphone to work on phone calls, I did a complete wipe and flashed the latest stock factory image.
I'm still having this issue. It's on both hangouts dialer and phone app.
When I use a voice recording app, microphone works. Google Now "OK Google" does not work though. I'm perplexed how to resolve this issue.
Thanks

Now I'm not 100% sure, but i think Google now, phone calls, etc. use the bottom microphone and video recording, audio recording, etc. use the second microphone on the device. It's possible that one of them is dead and the other functioning. I know you tried a clean marshmallow flash, but have you tried clean flashes of previous Android builds?

[Q] Something wrong with microphone

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.

Z3 D6633 Marshmallow microphone problem

Hi,
My primary microphone doesnt work normally on calling but it is working well on both voice and video recording! I also changed microphone but still problem exist. even setting microphone sensitivity to high doesnt change anything.
Could it be a problem with Noise canceling? Is there any way to disable that setting in Marshmallow? I tried to change persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true to "false" but same results.
Im on .570 rooted firmware.
Thanks
The .570 firmware does not have the option for noise cancellation. So I think it may be a problem with the software itself. Did you do a clean install?
Video recording uses the secondary microphone. Are you sure voice recording works?
Try to record an audio on whatsapp and listen to it or try with the "Diagnosis" app. You can find it by going to Settings > About Phone > Diagnosis.
If that doesn't help, I'd try a clean install of the software, but use the .575 FW for that.

Yes i did a clean install. Both voice and video recording working perfectly. I tried voice recording with primary mic and it working perfect, also tried Diagnostic app and it hadn't any problem at all. I covered secondary microphone and 3.5mm jack with tape but results was same, tried with another sim card, another sim slot, and nothing changed. I will downgrade rom to 4.4 for last solution but it will take lots of time!
Thanks for reply
Still seems like a software issue to me. Try as well wiping cache first. You can do that by pressing volume up and power button at the same time while the phone is turned on until you hear the phone vibrate 3 times. Afterwards boot it normally and try again.

No audio after flashing up to 8.0.0 Oreo NOS

Hi there,
X-posting with my devices forums for more specific help;
I am trying to get NitrogenOS (found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-nitrogen-os-11-01-2017-t3536211 ) to be my daily driver.
Whenever I flash this ROM, I am unable to hear anything on calls, exclusively using the bundled Phone app. EVERYTHING else works. Skype calls, LINE calls, hell, even alternative dialer calls work. But when making calls using my data / the bundled phone app (google dialer), I have no audio, and the caller cannot hear me.
What I've tried before posting: Clear cache and dalvik. Dirty flash the rom again. Clean flash the ROM again. Still no audio.
If I start a phone call in Google Dialer using my headset I can hear fine. If I then tap 'speaker' or disconnect my headset, my phone crashes and resets.
Is there a very obvious resolution I'm missing? Like a build.prop tweak I need to make or a radio to flash? I love the ROM but not having calls renders it almost unusable

MIcrophone issue with Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Plus

Hi, recently baught Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 plus with original ROM as is. It is awesome. But there is a very strange issue with it. After installing apps all those for communication between people like viber, skype, messenger etc. are working fine. But when I started to use native camera app for some time it is working good and can record video with sound but at some later point (don't know why and how), it can't record video with sound anymore. After reset factory settings to start over, camera again can record video with sound. I also experiment after installing each app related to the use of microphone if it make mic not working but this is not the case. Well after many tries to identify the problem I downloaded an app for recording only audio. It is called voice recorder. And surprisingly for me it turned microphone on and after using it, it enables the mic and then immediately after that I can record video with sound from the native camera app. It seems come flag identifying the mic is enabled is turned on and off in defferent conditions. So how can I solve this problem? Tried to use feedback from the tablet but it is not working for some reason, when I hit send button to report this issue it gives some error on chinese which I can't understand. Thank you

LineageOS 16: Crackling sound with voice messages on S7 (SM-G930F)

Hey,
I recently flashed LOS 16 (coming from LOS 14) in order to hopefully get rid of my crackling recording problem.
The problem unfortunately is still there. I don't know if it's a hardware or software problem.
Phone calls are completely fine, however, the microphone makes a really annoying crackling sound whenever I record voice messages or use any kind of voice recorder on my S7.
Perhaps someone has an idea about what I could do. I already did some research but nothing helped.
Is there a way to disable the onboard microphone and just use a headset whenever I want to record voice msgs or make calls?
I'd appreciate any input.
Ever tried updating your baseband?

Yesterday I flashed the newest Samsung firmware. Voice seemed to work in the stock rom. I then flashed LOS again and the "crackling" in voice recording is back again.
I'm not sure what updating my baseband entails (and I don't know how to do it, actually).
