Hi. I need help in troubleshooting a problem with my Samsung Galaxy y. The mic volume is very low during calls made from Viber. Lore means really very faint. The problem does not seem to be with the app as the mic volume is perfectly loud and clear with other smartphones. I tried to search for any code for entering engineering mode like in latest mediatek phones to manually set values but no joy. So now i need an experts advice on this matter. I hope i get a solution here. Btw i am using the stock original gingerbread rom.
Thanks in advance.
Please note that not all devices running Gingerbread Android OS can support Viber. You must be running Android 2.3.6 and higher in order to use Viber. Should your phone not be supported, this could be the reason that your audio quality is not great.
If your phone meets the requirement, please check that you have the latest version of Viber for Android (4.3.3.67) installed.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. The android version is certainly 2.3.6 with all software updates from Samsung installed. The speaker volume is good but it's only the mic volume that is very faint. Issue is with only this particular device, otherwise i have two other smartphone running jellybean in my family and the sound quality is great. So i don't really blame your app for this. May be there could be an issue with the phone's own software.

Do you have any other VOIP applications installed on your phone? It'd be interesting to see if this is something that is specific to Viber, or if it happens with other applications as well.

Oops. It's too late to experiment that. I have already sold it and replaced it with lava iris 455. Viber works pretty good with that now. If there are any other Samsung Galaxy y users here then they may want to try that out and post their replies here.

Hello everyone !
I have a really annoying problem since last year, when i root my device for the first time.
The microphone doesn't work in applications who needs it. I can't record my voice, use Google voice Recognition....
If i call someone, the caller can not hear me unless I activate the speaker phone mode.
It's a very strange problem
I have tested every custom and stock roms, no results.
Maybe there are a adjustment to do ( in *#*#197328640#*#* ) ?
Please help me
thanks,
abeilard14
Up.. it's a pretty annoying problem
just say me if it is a hardware or logicial problem if you know, please
If it appears with different ROMs it's probably a hardware-problem.
But I can't see any connection between breaking your mic and rooting your phone.

Yes, but it's strange that the mic works only when i activate the speaker phone mode during call.
It is not completely broken apparently !
may be a setting to change somewhere . . .
hi...i searched the forum so think posting this question would be appropriate...
recently i just flash my rom to sony's official 2.3.3 (not the xda pre-rooted version)
as usual i download skype and viber, but i am having the same problem with them
when i make/receive a call, i can hear the other person's voice, but the person CANNOT hear me...
just wondering if anyone is having the same problem here?
and is there any way to fix?
i hope it's not my device's problem ><
thanks!
Viber is terrible to begin with... Skype works fine for me.. There is a bug in the X10 mic driver that makes the sound echos.
since the update to skype with vid, the x10 is not able to make any call, look at the home page for the modded version, might work

Hello everyone,
I've just installed JB CM10 RC2 by PolishVodka, ROM works fine, but i can't hear the voice of person I call. I have also flashed all fixes included in main thread, but it does not solve my problem. Of course before installation I have fully wiped my phone via Recovery (latest verion), resized partitions etc. On GB/ICS roms I haven't noticed this problem. I would like to use this JB rom as my daily, so please help me!

Would you mind if I post about PolishVodkas rom here? My problem may be somewhat related to yours: the sounds (except music) are always on the speaker, even if headphones are plugged in. ANd when there is a call incoming the phone behaves like headphones are unplugged and plays all sound through speaker, thats mean music AND the ringtone of icoming call.
If this rom werent so fast and stable I would just forget about it and flashed something else, but I really would love to stay with it. PolishVodka - hope you read it.

You're welcome, P.G.R I have reported my problem directly to PolishVodka . He told me, that some users have encountered described problem with phone calls, but on his phone everything works fine, so it's pretty hard for him to find the source of this bug. Anyway I have good news - during the call let's try to set the volume higher or lower by +/- buttons. I've done it once and problem disappeared permamently I haven't tested headphones, but maybe this little PolishVodka's trick solves all sound problems

Good, but, meanwhile, Ive returned to AOSP2 and it is super fast, its weird that no one uses it as a base for their 2.3.7 roms (most seems to base their work on SDSL, which was always too "jerky" for me...)
That explains why I got no sound while I was getting called.
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda premium
Problem has been solved in newer firmware for i9505 --> XXUGNF1, if you have this problem just update your rom to this base.
Hi, first i want to provide my phones's information:
DeviceMaker : Samsung
Device Name : Galaxy S4
Device Model : i9505
Android OS version : KitKat 4.4.2 Build XXUGNE5
Network : WiFi
Skype client version installed : v4.0.0.19550 till v4.9
1. Brief description of bad behavior. 2. Steps to repeat bad behavior.
When making a call i have no problem with earphone and i can easily adjust the volume, however problem arises when i switch it to speaker, the volume is too loud that distorted and my volume level is on minimal so if i volume it up it will be louder actually i didn't go for maximum volume because i'm sure that it would going to destroy my phone's speaker.
Point - 1: I don't use any MOD for sound or any app that can modify or interfer with skype's or roms sound system.
Point - 2: It's not just me that have the same problem on XXUGNE5 build, I confirmed it in XDA forum.
Point - 3: Older rom builds for example XXUFNB8 which is 4.4.2 too, works correctly and no problems there.
Point - 4: Skype v3.2 doesn't have this problem with this build (XXUGNE5)
Not Professional conclusion of mine is that something has been changed regarding sound handling from v4.0.0.19550 and of course something specific changed in new 4.4.2 build of s4 i9505 XXUGNE5 that conflicts with skype changes or viseversa :bigsmile:
Hope to see solution soon.
Thank you All

Running GoldenEye v32 (XXUGNE5), I haven't tried Skype yet, but I do think the overall volume is loader than previously. I haven't added any volume mods and I dont think its tweaked by the dev, but ringtones/notifications and music definitely seem a bit louder/clearer than before.

You should try skype using speaker and you will understand what kind of loud volume you have, it is not loud it is sometimes unrecognizable because of distortion.
galaxy s4 skype volume too loud on loudspeaker
im facing the same problem. when I turn on the loudspeaker or video the volume blasts out!! volume control has no effect.
Problem has been solved in newer firmware for i9505 --> XXUGNF1, if you have this problem just update your rom to this base.
So guys after I flashed the Cyanogenmod 12 on my galaxy s4 I noticed some problems with the mic.
For example:
In call, People are complaining that the hear themselves (echo)
In videorecording, the sound is too dirty like there is no noise cancelation at all.
In sound recording, the levels of input when I am recording are going to the red all the time
I checked some solutions but none worked for me.
I do not have the mixer_paths.xml neither the audio_platforms_info.xml. Then, I tried to change some setting into the build.pro file and neither there.
Also, I don't want to roll back to the stock rom because I do not want to back up everything and then install them again and etc.
Any suggestions ?
Are you sure the mic holes are not dirty and filled with dust? You got one in the top and one in the bottom.
Answer
Yes I am pretty sure! I opened and cleaned the mics ! The problem started when I flashed cyanogenmod 12

Kushan CM is old and discontinued I think.
Switch to the official CM13 or other roms based on it.
