Bad mic? - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

Well after about 3 days of use it appears I have a bad mic. The other person only hears me on speaker or in a headset. What happened after the Nexus 5 where these phones started becoming garbage?
Im reading this is a common problem with the phone.
Anyone else run into this? Anyone have a fix? Blowing air in didn't work and neither did playing with the headphone adapter.

Just hit mic issues on my Pixel 2 as well. Mic works in video recordings but not in audio recordings or for google assistant. Apparently Verizon were told that there is a software fix coming (http://www.valuewalk.com/2017/11/problems-google-pixel-2-mic-solved/) but I can't find anything official. I did get it working again by blowing into it but that only lasted a few days. Now it's not working again and blowing ain't doing squat.

Video Sound

Anyone else having trouble with the sound on video? If I talk right into the microphone during playback I can hear but talking normally it's so low I can't hear it...anyone had anything that works with this ?
I'm seeing the same thing. But the problem isn't limited to just video recording. It also affects voice search from more than 2 feet away. Today, while plugged into car dock, it took me literally 12 times to get the phone to search for "Seton Hall Law".
It may be a faulty noise cancellation algorithm, not sure. Seems to work fine close range, but once you get some distance it causes trouble.

Speaker audio issues?

Whenever there's pressure on the back of my Transformer (e.g. laying flat on a table), the speaker audio cuts out. It's only started doing this recently but I really don't know since I mostly use it with the dock. Anyone else experience this issue?
A week ago my right speaker suddenly stopped working entirely. They both always worked just fine, never had the balance issue that others had. Then, I was watching a YouTube video one day... I hear a few quiet "pops", and ever since no Right speaker - BOO!!!
Headphones still seem to work just fine though
Haven't opened it up yet, but I'm assuming it'll just need a new speaker. This might actually give me the chance to upgrade them to some louder speakers.. hmm..

Bottom microphone problem

Hello
I've got a problem with the mic on my s7, the one on the bottom of the phone. Few days ago everything was normal, i had good voice quality while talking but now nobody can hear me because the sound is really quiet. When i open up sound recording I hear some stuttering and white noise and I have to talk directly to the mic to hear my voice. The top speaker works perfectly fine btw. I tried to flash different roms and the problem is still there, but now it's quite better than it was before.
Did anybody have similar problem and knows the way to fix it? Or is it possible to turn the top mic as the main one?
I don't want to send it to the service bc I don't have warranty and they can break the screen and then it is expensive to repair.

Mic too low during Bluetooth calls

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.

Can Someone Confirm This?

Whenever I put a call on speaker or during video calls,The other side complains of Not hearing me properly.It is fine with earphones & not on speaker.Anyone facing this problem or can confirm for me? They can hear my voice clearly on Xs Max when on speaker with the same network.

Had that happen few weeks ago, blow out your phone something with a can of air
