[Q] Microphone does not work (in part)

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 . . .

[SOLVED] Skype VERY LOUD speaker volume during call on XXUGNE5

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.

Samsung galaxy s4 (9505) Problem with mic

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.

Low sound volume during call

Hello,
My A1 have low sound volume during voice call after may patch i think ,volume in very low ,does anyone know a fix for this problem?
Thx,

Try this,
1. Once you're in a phone call, turn loudspeaker on.
2. Reduce the volume to bare minimum.
3. Switch back to normal mode from loudspeaker.
This helped me when I had a similiar issue.

Thx for reply, i try this but not working ,i think is a hardware problem or if anyone know a software or apps test for call speaker..

Hi,
No, I don't think this is a hardware issue as I have the same issue with my A1 since the july /August patch 2018. Any progress with this since then ?

it works thanks

am facing same issue after oreo update i thought that it might get fix but til now it not fixed

There was a Magisk module for this, somewhere near here.

Rooted - Speaker only for phone calls - Please help!

Hey guys, I'm new to all this so bear with me. I rooted my Moto G5 Plus and installed the Pixel Experience. I've run into a few issues. First, the camera and flashlight would not work, but randomly they are now working.
But here is the biggest problem. When I answer a call from someone they can hear me, but I can't hear them. I have to switch to speaker in order to hear them. Plugging in headphones also works. But with the headphones in the volume is really loud and I'm unable to lower it. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? If there's some diagnostic things to try please explain them as easy as possible.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Seems mixer path config got changed, you can try mine, replace the mixer path with mine to yours, if it works then just leave it. if not, you can try a clean flash to make it work normal. If clean flash didn't help. Move to stock rom and then try other ROMs.
