Very Low Mic Volume On Custom ROMs

So the problem is that no matter what custom ROM I use the mic volume is incredibly low. Talking on the phone I cannot be heard at all, if I put it on loudspeaker I can be heard faintly. Same problem for any app that uses the microphone, like sound recorder, recording a video, it barely picks up any sound.
But what's strange is that everything works perfectly on on Stock. I've installed custom ROMs on this before and last used cm10 before I upgraded way back. But now the problem also exists on that CM10 ROM. Any ideas how to fix it?
Additionally I've tried disabling the google now search listening (which fixed the same problem on my OPO) but does not work here. I've tried the following ROMs: CM10, CM11, CM12 all official nightlies and Crdroid 5.1.1.
Very frustrating as otherwise CM12 works perfectly and I intend to give this phone to someone!
So testing it further I found out that it works fine using google now and search. So either the internal microphone is disabled or maybe noise cancelling is messed up.

Video recording sound issues?

When recording a video using my rear camera, the sound does not come through clearly. It's as if the sound recording is focused on the front of the phone instead of the rear.
This is occurring on oreo beta 2, 3, lineage os 15.1. I've tried using the essential camera, google cam port (latest), open camera, lineage camera.
Before you ask, the microphones are clear of obstruction. There is no case on the phone. There are no microphone issues when using the phone during calls.
Anyone else experiencing this? It is making the video function on the phone all but useless to me.

Did you ever find an answer to this?

Microphone recording suppresion help

hey guys, i have problem with recording audio, i have microphone suppression. also when using snapchap chat or instagram sroty videos the audio is suppressed. however, recording video in gcam, the audio seems to be normal.
this happened ever since i flashed custom roms, the first was crdroid and now liquid remix i have had the same problem. on the stock rom i didn't have this problem

anyone?

I think it's an issue with all custom roms, microphone is horrible on custom roms.
The secondary mic (on top of the phone) doesn't record sound in Instagram and Snapchat, only Gcam
As for a fix? I have no idea

I've seen fixes for the exact same problem but other Xiaomi devices such as redmi note 3 and 4
I've tried using the same files on Android P beta but that didn't work
The only workaround (a rather not plausible one) is to stay on stock rom until someone knowledgeable can fix it on custom roms

any fixes for this yet ?

why is anyone not trying to fix this problem?

low volume call recording speaker on android 9?

on android 8, I can record the calls and they listen perfectly, but in android 9 only I am heard, and sometimes the other person for thousands.
I have tried the integrated nitro, baikal recorder and also third-party applications. I always have the same problem.
I have installed the 20s firmware and micro gapps.
I have tried all the available roms and the problem persists, also different recording formats.
However, I have friends with the same cell phone as me and they can record without problem from several roms, I do not understand what it may be, if someone knows any way to solve this or have any idea why it could happen would be happy to put in practice your suggestions, greetings.

Which mata ROM has fixed mic / speaker issue?

The subject should say it all. I have two PH-1s which are in remarkable condition for their ages, but need a ROM that works well with WhatsApp and Telegram calls using the speaker.
Lineageos 18 seems to have this issue, and working through other threads, I can't identify a ROM that has it fixed. Thank you.

This is partially fixed on DivestOS, as mata is my personal daily driver.
The situation is:
- phone call audio is garbled until you toggle speaker for the first call after booting
- loud speaker volume cannot be adjusted
- microphone however works
I've spent many hours trying to narrow down this issue to no avail. It is a sad bug, because otherwise this is largely a great device.
Here is the upstream issue report:

Expected Behavior Microphone audio should be clear when on speaker mode. Current Behavior

Seems no derived from PHHussons' GSI ROMs, like Corvus, Octavi, DotOS have such issues. Actually the first too are nearly OEM quality.

This ROM seems to have fixed most issues that I faced in the past, including the mic bug. Unofficial LineageOS 18.1
