Low Voice Calls when on a Wired Headset

When I'm using a wired headset to talk to someone on a call the volume is kinda low, I have it set max but its still pretty low, works fine on speaker or BT. Also the same wired headset works very loud when on a movie or music, just low when on a call.
Any fix to this?

Would like to know this aswell... Impossible to hear what people are saying when using the headset

I too find that headset and speaker volume are low. ( comparison to few other phones )
Cannot hear in a noisy environment.
Tried Volume + but does not seem to help .

I experienced this problem as well. Looks like this is a hardware problem (either the pin or the socket).
Try using a different headset - one without a mic. You sould see a significant gain in volume.

Its a hardware issue, swapped my phone for a new one today and dont have the problem anymore.
The service menu edit doesnt really help at all and the volume gain is minimal.
Anyone else having issues like this should request your carrier or samsung for a replacement. It only happens to a handful of phones.
I assume there are two seperate audio chips, the yamaha one for audio and another for voice calls??
Can anyone confirm?

External Speaker Voice Calls Quality

Hi everyone, when i am talking with someone and i turn on the speaker the voice call quality is kind of bad, i hear crackling and poping sounds. Now when i play a movie or music through the speaker its fine so its just the voice calls..i am wondering if this is normal and if anyone else is experiencing this at full volume. I am using the Lightening rom if that matters.

Can please someone test this? It will really help me. Just switch to speaker while on a call and max the volume to see if you hear distortion. Thank you in advance.

Low mic gain when using headphones

Does anyone know of a work around for using a pair of normal headphones plugged into note 2 but not lowering the internal mic gain?
On my galaxy nexus I could use headphones with phone in car mount and Caller could hear me fine. Since I have been using the note 2 the caller says I am very faint. Unplugging headphones and using speakerphone caller can hear me fine. Obviously I would rather use the headphones so I can hear the caller clearly.
Any ideas......

Adjust mic sensitivity?

I have an app I use to record my calls called total recall. Works great, but as I get loud in my conversation (not yelling though) my microphone distorts bad! It's not the app because this happens in my voice recorder app as well. is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of the mics input?

[Q] {ISSUE} Nexus 4 - Microphone does not work on normal mode, but works on speakers

Hi,
I've been using Nexus 4, and recently this issue started.
when I try to call, the other side can not hear my voice.
However, if I turn on the loudspeaker the mic works fine.
So, the probably the hardware is fine because the same mic works fine when used in loudspeaker mode.
I've not installed anything, not changed anything, its a brand new device.
I've tried starting in Safe mode, it doesn't help.
i was using the stock android from google all these days and issue started. I have now migrated to Cyanogenmod 11 and the issue still persits.
I have downloaded an app from play store called soundabout to try convince my phone that there was no headset plugged in. But of no use yet.
Any help on this please

Help please

Fellas, please please help

Does your earpiece speaker work normally? If so I can only guess the nexus 4 uses top mic for loudspeaker calls. If your bottom mic has failed its easily fixed as it comes as part of the charging block.
It could just be something blocking the mic. Does your voice sound muffled or is it no audio at all?

Yes the earpiece speaker works fine. the bottom mic if u hold it close to ur mouth and talk works just ok...as in the other person cant hear 100% but its like u r talking from a far off place.

Hardware problem, mic - flex cable???

Probably is just dust or something then, get a dental pick or something and try and clear the mic hole from the outside. If it still doesn't work you might have to disassemble the phone and remove the blockage.

I had the same problem and I use the application soundabout to resolv it
