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

Hi xda,
So everything is in the title. Not long ago the microphone on my TF300T just stopped working. I recorded videos without problem, and one month later, without me installing anything, it just stopped recording anything, no matter the app. I tried Skype, the camera, several recording apps... nothing.
Tried a cold boot and a data wipe, same thing.
Z-device test detects the microphone, but it doesn't record anything. When I record a video or try to use a microphone app, I get a loud pop and just noise. I've messed a bit with the gain and I obtain nothing. Of course ASUS support is useless. I have seen similar problems all around the web but no one seemed to have an explaination or a solution, all threads were just left hanging...
Stock rom, not rooted. Does anyone have an idea about the problem ? Is the microphone busted ? Would it pop like that it that was the case ?
So I got my Moto G about 5 months ago and the microphone picked up everything fine, but as of recently if I try and take a video or use any other application that requires a microphone to pick up sound, I wont hear anything after I play it back even if I put the volume on max. Calling someone works fine because they can hear me still, but if im not using the phone, it doesnt work as in you hear no sound at all. Can someone please tell me how to fix this problem?
My advice is to ask the Moto Support on Twitter, yes I know that here you can, but give a try
I had an issue similar to this - the microphone didn't pick up anything, speaker did work. Don't know if it's related but the Facebook app had permission to use the microphone - i went into settings and disabled that permission and then tested the mic, it started working...

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.
Hello,
I just took my first video using the phone today, then I noticed audio is not recorded. I tried several times, both high-res and 3D audio, but there was no audio. Checked both on my phone and my laptop. I even installed Google Camera app, but the video from there still didn't have audio.
Then I used Voice Recorder app to record audio, and interestingly it did not record audio either. 3rd party voice recorder app didn't record audio either!
There is no problem when I call, my voice is heard clearly from the other phone. I checked the permissions of the camera apps / recorder apps, and microphone is ticked.
What could be the problem? This is very frustrating. Please help!
EDIT:
I just installed a 3rd party camera app, took a video, and the app gave a video with audio. Then I tried stock camera app, which also gave audio. Then voice recorder app, which also gave audio. It seems to work now. I didn't do anything special, didn't reboot the phone, etc. I have no idea what happened...
It is quite possible that one of the apps didn't release the connection to the microphone "for whatever reason". If you encounter problems with hardware the first option is reboot. The reason for this is all of the external and internal connections to hardware get reset. Most apps rely on the drivers within the os and sometimes those connections don't get closed because of crap coding or bugs in the os itself.
Most phones will have a hidden self test menu. It is worth a Google to find that code and test the hardware when things go a bit wierd.
Hope that helps.

Now that I thought about it again, I think you are right. One of my apps might have been in love with the microphone so that it did not allow other apps to use the mic. I have no idea which app had that kind of love, but anyway, yeah thank you for the comment!
So guys please help me out here, I recently update to 12.5 and did not test the microphone below this version, I got the phone and installed the update, I notice that it brigs a lot of bugs but I don't now if the problem I'm facing is a bug, error or malfunction. When I use any app that use the microphone the audio is not recorded properly, nothing it's recorded in the first 4 second after that it happen a BIP followed by another one and then record normally, the first BIP when listened with a headphone it's responsible for the left side and the second for the right(recording with any external microphone works fine), I can't show to you guys that's why I describe. I can't send it back so anyone are having this same problem, know anything... ? Thanks!
