I have a little problem that I try to solve and I can not find the solution. I have the Opo to almost 5 years and I love this phone. Everything is working fine only the top micro is giving problems. It will be of old age. I would like to ask for your help and assistance in resolving the problem, if you can and have availability.
When I make a "hands-free" call, people hardly hear me. For example, in whatsapp I can not make a video communication, the other side do not hear me, just screaming at the top of the phone, even then, in poor condition. After some research on XDA, I made some changes to the /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml/ folder. In phone calls everything is fine, only the problem persists in the superior micro. I know programming it is possible to override the top microphone and keep the remaining two working, but I do not know how to do that. I assume it is in the /mixer_paths.XML/ folder that the configuration is done. I've tried to mix the mixer_paths.xml file from OPO_Main_Mic_Bypass_V3 reverses the microphones, only that people listened to me in "hands free", but the phone, when receiving a call, stopped playing. Did not work.
how can I cancel the top micro?

Hello
Since the second day since getting the smartphone have a problem with my voice / sound in telephone calls on the first day people said that my sound was very good, from the second day no one can understand what I say, I experienced the recorder voice and the sound seemed ok, so I think it can be any application that did this, an error "code" and no physical damage. I contacted the alcatel, she suggested going to the store and switch to another or send for repair since it is under warranty, but I go on holiday soon and do not want to go without the smartphone and change on the other also does not look good as lost data, who find something idea like trying to solve this? Sorry for my English, I am Portuguese, thank you
Similar problem here
Hi (greetings from Portugal too).
I'm experiencing similar problems with the mic on my new Idol 3.
At first all seemed ok, but now in every call I make people complain that they hear me very low and like I'm "inside a well".
I'm trying to assert if it has anything to do with to primary or the secondary mics, and for now I've been answering calls on the "upright position"... Next time I'll try the inverted one.
Will be on the lookout for new updates too...
IDOL 3 Mic problem
Hello,
it happens to me as well since day one. I figured out, that in my case, it has following scenario:
Sometimes SIM card disconnect and connect back (perhaps loose contact, it is little bit smaller than the frame, the sim card)
It asks for PIN
After all calls my voice to others is very low and well-like
Reset the Phone
It is OK until the SIM thing happens again
I fixed better the frame to SIM, it is ok, but generally, the voice and noise cancelation, is not the best at this phone (main feature), which on the other hand very good for the price...

Hi !
Got the same Problem with ALCATEL 6044D Android Version 5..1.1
Hi, everyone. I have Lenovo K900 Android version: 4.2.1. Recently I changed the battery since then my mic hasn't been working during phone calls, both regular calls and on WhatsApp. Although it works perfectly when shooting a video, making an audio recording, voice searching etc., only during calls. It's not completely broken if I shout right into the mic the receiver can hear me
very badly (as if I was talking underwater or from very far). Other things to point out:
1) I can hear people well, so there is no problem with my speakers.
2) Using speaker (in order to enhance the mic) during a call doesn't help at all.
3) It has a very problematic back cover, so it took a lot of physical effort to open it, so my suspicion is that mic could have been damaged, though it seems unlikely since it works very well outside the calls.
4) Using a headset mic during phone calls works perfectly.
5) I don't have a warranty.
Some things I've tried so far to fix the problem:
1) Hard reset the system (twice), both normal reset and hard reset (thus deleting all the apps, so I'm doubtful, it could be a software problem)
2) Turned off "Background Voice Cancellation" and put mic quality to "bright".
3) Turned off "Ok google" voice option.
4) Made sure that it wasn't my fingers covering the mic causing the problem
5) Rebooting the system multiple times.
6) Using headset during the call, ending the call with headset on and only then taking it off in hopes to reset built-in mic settings.
7) Downloading "Sound About" app.
None of these options helped, even slightly.
I really believe that it's fixable since the mic works everywhere apart from calls, and even there it works, just unbearably quiet. I have one last idea left, which is to change the Android version completely, maybe upgrade it. Please, if you have any ideas, respond, this bug is driving me crazy. Thanks, everyone, in advance for your help!

Hello!
I have a major issue during videocalls using google duo, skype where if there are any background noise around me, i can't hear the person i am talking to. The audio cuts off. It has to be silent around me in order for me to hear the person i am talking to. Is there any fix to this problem? I have already reset the phone but the problem is still there.
mic (over) sensitivity? perhaps some will stop by and know the file and file entry to edit.
any of this type setting elsewhere (Settings, the app itself, and sound modification yo have installed, eg Viper, etc... that you can check/get to?
I have no sound modification installed. I checked the settings but there seems to be no part adressing this issue. The same problem happens when i use different apps like skype, google duo and signal. Could it be a hardware problem? The microphone works fine when i record a video or recording audio.
Maybe.
Rooted? If so, and you've done a full, clean install, and sure that the install is working ok, maybe try another custom ROM.
Normal calls work, as I get you it's (just) video calls? Another possibility, I'd consider looking up mic sensitivity and ways to decrease it. On the OnePlus One I am aware there was a configuration file folks could mess with to try and resolve that phone's mics over sampling. That was a common issue for many.
Have you tried turning the volume down and see if that has any effect?
Wish I could offer more ideas, I have used video calls maybe 3 times in 8 years.
The phone is not rooted. This problem occurs only when i use internet based videocalls (skype, google duo). The volyme is not usually high when i call. Thank you for your time, hopefully i will find a solution soon.
Frustrating. Good luck.
Something is strangw with my OP6.
If I try to use Google Voice search the app doesn't "hear" my voice.
But also when Im having a call I need to be in a silient place in order for the people who speak with me are going to hear me well, If Im walking outside near a road with cars or sitting with people around me who speak the phone's microphone seems to take in all those sounds so it is very hard for the person who speak with me to "just hear me". It seems to be very sensitive to other sounds around me.
Almost like the phone is using the mirchone for the speaker calls.
I have reset the phone(stock firmware), but the problem remains.
Anyone knows what it might be?
Sounds like the noise cancellation mic (top of the phone) is not working. Could be a hw, sw or just dirt in the mic issue.
Hello guys! I have EML-L29.
I have strange problem with one of the mics - the one which is closer to the earpiece, top of the phone. So the problem is that the mic is very quiet - i think its responsible for when you change to loudspeaker, when you have phone call or viber, whatsup etc call, video call on loudspeaker. So i have to speak very close and quite loudly so that the person can hear me.
The strange thing is that it works normally when i say OK Google and Hey google. If I say this things, no matter how loud, i can tell them very quetly and the mic still pick up the voice, then i can ask Assistant what i want and again the mic picks everything how it should. But when i try manully to voice search, or manully to ask Assistant something, againt the mic brokes and can't pick up my voice normally, i have to be very close to it and speak very loudly.
I had this problem with EMUI9, updated to EMUI10, stil got it, fully factory reseted it, still no change.
For what i searched on the net i saw that the top mic is part of the motherboard, so its pretty much no point of changing it.. the bottom mic is on its own board, so its easy job.
Still i dont know if its hardware or software issue. Its very strange, normally it dont work, but when voice call the Google Assistant it starts working as it should.
I will be very grateful if someone knows anything about this or some tips on how i can deal with it
Thank you!
