[Q] i9500 Low Mic Issue

Hello everybody,
I'm sorry for opening that topic but i'm desperate now. I saw similar topics for that but i tried every written solution on that topics not working.
Last month i've rooted my i9500 first time and flashed CyanogenMod (4.4.2 Kitkat). There were few bugs on this ROM. For example Camera Problem, Low Mic issue etc.. After i used that ROM 2 days, i decided to change my ROM because of bugs. I changed 4-5 ROMs for i9500. ( Phoenix, CyanogenMod(New Version), MIUI etc... But the low mic issue was still there.
I tried flashing Stock Rom 4.3
Flashing Stock New Rom 4.4
Flashing stock Kernel and stock Radio
Flashing other ROMs...
I tried all of them. All problems gone except low mic issue. First I thought something wrong with my hardware but after that i noticed that the low mic issue is just running on Phone Calls. If i open speaker my voice is perfect but in normal call people barely hear me or don't hear me.
Voice recorder and Video Recording is perfectly record sound. The problem is occur only Phone Call without speaker.
So i need your help, how i can solve this low mic issue ?
Thanks for all.

try downloading AudioManager on play store and see if it helps. It could be a hardware problem you know.
cheers ~

I downloaded AudioManager but nothing changed. I guess the problem is not hardware because if i use speaker on phone calls my voice is perfect. Audio recording and video recording are also perfect.

No solutions ?

please help me about this. i tried everything i've read nothing changed.

You've probably got dirt in your microphone hole, locate it on the bottom of the device and use a dental pick or something to clear the blockage.

Perhaps you're covering the microphone hole when you hold up the phone to your ear?

I tried to clean it nothing changed. I'm holding same as i always do . I tried directly speak to mic hole. Nothing changed

Same Issue please help us
I Have same issues, im sure Hardware is working Fine, mic in low volume if using at phone call and record voice note. but in other apps like Audio Record, and Activate Speaker Phone mic is Working properly, S Voice, etc

I also upgrade my device GT-I9500 JB 4.3 with firmware for Russia I9500XXUFNB3_I9500SERFNB3_I9500XXUFNA6_HOME
After that , start my problem with S4 device and microphone NOT working level is so bad and low .... sound is very poor
If I use speaker option mic working good , also if I use bluetooth headset for communication sound work good , normal .
But have problem if I answering and try talk "normally " by microphone .
Today try with other 4.4.2 firmware like I9500XXUFNB7_I9500OLBFNB4
But unfortunately, there is still the problem with my S4 GT-I9500
My mic work good with JB 4.3 but this problem start when upgrade to 4.4.2

S4 microphone problem in normal call mode (working fine in speaker mode)

Hello,
Can someone please heeeelp me, I have a Samsung s4 I9505 that I bought with a problem:
When I call someone I can hear perfectly but the other person hears a crackling sound and almost no sound but ONLY IN NORMAL CALL mode, when in SPEAKER it seems to work just fine, also with the headset the crackling sound persists.
The problem also persists in any app like viber, watsapp, voice recorder..
Things I have tried:
Restarting, factory reset
Different firmware like Kitkat 4.4 and Lollipop 5.01
Changing the charge dock with the microphone
Is there another microphone that is activated while on speaker mode than on normal call or what is the difference between normal call and speaker mode?

S7 Edge - Microphone not working in calls

Please help,
Samsung have returned my phone twice saying no fault found, but every time I make or receive a call there is no sound on the other end. The mic works for google search, video recording, voice recorder app etc, but as soon as I make a call no one can hear me at all. Any ideas welcome please before I end up selling it as faulty. Gutted and tearing my hair out!

Hey!
I have a similar issue with my S7. Microphone does not work only during the calls. Turning on speakerphone does not help (as it should when you have a broken bottom microphone) and also if I connect headset then the microphone from the headset works. In all other aps both (botom, top) microphones work (I do have stereo in video recording etc.). Did it happen to you after system update or when?
Cheers

A small update:
I have found that the issue is even more silly for me.
So I make a call and the person to whom I am calling cannot hear me. Then I connect a headphones, but ones without a microphone. And suddenly the microphone in the phone starts working. But the moment I disconnect them it stops.
Can you confirm this happening for you?

its old, but i have same problem. Now, I am trying to flash stock rom and see if it will work. After restart, I microphone works only once in call app, that it dont work. But i can record audio with it and in any other app it works. Idk what is the problem, but i want to find out

I have to same issue. Couldnt find a solution yet.

Mic gives low sound during calls

Phone model: ASUS_X01BDA (Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2)
Build number: PKQ1.WW_Phone-16.2017.2005.092-20200518
Please someone give any type of solution in details. The on call mic volume killing me. I have to put the earphone mic fully on my lip for the other person to hear me!
I used app from play store to check and I guessed it right, while mic mode was on 'Direct' and I recorded from usual earohone mic distance, then the sound was, loud and clear. But when I recorded in the same condition in the mode 'Communication', then I barely can hear me. Now after this test, I am sure the problem is in the feature 'microphone noice cancellation' for calls only. So as I identified the issue, is it impossible to fix? Can I totally disable the function 'noice cancellation' on my device? Please help. I am in desperate need of a fix during this covid pandemic as many many important meetings are happening online.
Mic is loud enough on the general phone call app though!!!
But very low on any online call like messenger call / whatsapp call / discord call / google meet call / zoom call. But if I record on messenger or whatsapp, it sounds alright. I repeat, recorded general sound is OKAY but not when on call on any app other than general phone call app. Tested same earphone on same apps from an old samsung phone too. No problem found there at all! Sounded clear while using samsung during messenger call / whatsapp call / discord call / google meet call / zoom call. So don’t say it's mic's fault. It isn’t. It is software handling problem as far as I can understand. Please show me a way fast.

exactly the same problem i have been facing since long , but discovered just a week ago

mine is completely opposite. I have to put on headphones to hear anything. One day I handed to my phone to someone, and he said there is no sound. When I put on my ear, I understood what the problem was. It is actually inaudible to any normal person. it is on stock rom, unrooted. Also the problem peaks if someone call from to my jio sim, using a MI phone. There is no problem in sim, cause I switched mine to another phone and it was fine, sound was cristal clear.
