Which mata ROM has fixed mic / speaker issue? - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

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

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 RC2 persistent headphones microphone woes... please help!

Hello XDA
Long-time lurker, first-time poster. Forgive me in advance if I lack XDA etiquette or am posting in the wrong area.
Many of you CM users are familiar with [and have suffered through] the headphones call audio bug that plagued 10.1/10.2 nightlies for some time back in August, which have been allegedly fixed. The bug involved broken headphone microphone ability; one can hear call/non-call audio coming from the headphones when plugged in, and the headphone microphone will work with out-of-call applications (i.e. sound recorder, etc.), though when in-call the microphone is rendered useless and does not work. The actual phone microphone fortunately remains working, so the caller can just barely hear you to say, "Hey, can you put your phone up to your face? You sound muffled." This results in me having to hold the actual phone close to my mouth in order to use headphones, which defeats the purpose of headphones entirely.
The problem seems to be fixed on CM 10.2 nightlies when I was running them, though for stability purposes I prefer to revert to CM 10.1.3 RC with ktoonsez AT&T kernel. I always flash clean, wipe the cache/davlik appropriately, etc. Everything else with this current setup is phenomenal, save this damned headphone microphone issue. I do a lot of multitasking when on the phone and this is a crippling defect.
I've searched long and hard for an answer to this issue but have ended empty-handed and am going crazy. It seems most people are no longer experiencing this issue. Am I the only one left? Does anyone else have the same issue?
Any help would be infinitely appreciated!
I have a similar problem. If my headphones aren't already plugged into the phone when a call comes in and I then plug them in, the other person cannot hear me at all. I usually have to restart the phone with the headphones plugged in to get them to work on calls.
Sgs4 mic issue with cm10.1
Yes I have the same problem and couldn't find any solution either.
M on 10.1.3 RC2 same as you and this problem bothered me ever since I installed cm10.1 nightly back in August.
I will do a clean wipe (including nand erase) and install latest Samsung stock os, and see if this solve few of issues (I have problem with my gas as well).

CM11 Sound Recorder and Media Profiles Fix

Tested only on cm11 nightlies and fxp builds. For stock rom, it must be tested (i don't use it !). Works also on Z1 device.
There was some errors on stereo speaker and mic recorder ! now fixed (There is no stereo speaker on Z1 C or Z1 device)
Some values increased : speaker, mic => 90 / call samplerate => 16000
Video Recorder very smooth => 60 fps
If you don't like it, just delete it ! (Always make a backup before)
May i ask what kind of error that was? I'm on CM11 nightly (Z1C) too and my mic level in calls (especially on speakerphone) got very low for some reason. almost to the point where the other end wasn't able to understand anything. I have yet to test if it might have been fixed already or if it is a hw-fault on my device. From the changelogs I can't see anything related.
Also: is this a fix that is about to be merged into the nightlies?
Thanks so far,

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.

CDLA Headphones not detecting with Lineage OS 14.1

I cant seem to have the CDLA headphones work with the Lineage OS ROM - the sound always comes throuhg phone speaker. did not install any Magisk or xposed frameworks either.
the Bluetooth speaker work. Does anyone have a similar issue and how can it be addressed?
Model: Le Eco Le Pro 3 LEX727
ROM: Lineage OS 14.1
I experience this too and there are reports from others in the main LOS 14 thread. As reported in the below message, headphones work for me when they are plugged in at reboot.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/help/cdla-problem-leeco-le-pro-3-t3576011
I have the same issue, the problem is the device doesn't recognize when you plug-out the headphones so sound is still being routed to them. The only way i found to "fix" it was reboot without headphones or using the app musicabout and uncheck the headphones detection.
Changing SELinux to permissive fixed it for me.

I'm stuck in 21/07/2017 because i can't update due a battery problem. In this update the only problem i'm having is with the headphone microphone very low, i can't answer calls with them.
I have the latest update installed but it doesn't recognize headphones. How to make a bug report?
haedphone
I have the same. In order for the headset to connect you need to reset the phone to do. And to unplug the reset. My system is LineageOS 14.1
Yes, but how do we report this to developers because it was apparently working last month from what I see at XDA posts.
with this application you can hear the sound in the headphones

Mic not working during calls (maybe broken mic) How can I switch mic via mixer_paths?

Hi there everybody. First time posting anything in any forums. Please excuse any irregularities that I may show (deviating from the norms and such).
ISSUE BACKGROUND
So I recently bought a LeEco Le Pro 3 (LEX727) second hand and I've run into an issue with the microphone during calling. I can hear the person calling fine, but the caller cannot hear me. I have checked that it is not a sim issue as I've tested call with two different sims (one local and one international sim). Currently it is running on LineageOS version 15.1-20180312-NIGHTLY-zl1. It is currently rooted via Magisk.
In system/etc/usf/form_factor_mtp.cfg I found out that there are two mics:
- top right mic
- bottom 90 degree mic.
I confirmed the top right mic is working as Google Now and recording apps picks up my voice. Using the MicTester app, I also confirmed it is indeed the top mic is functioning fine as the sound wave increases in amplitude as I input sound closer and closer to the top mic (as opposed to the bottom one).
I feel it is not a software issue as I have flashed various roms to the device, resulting with the same issue. Roms I have flashed includes:
- AICP (Oreo)
- Stock EUI
- Resurrection (Oreo)
- LineageOS (Oreo)
- Lineage OS (Nougat)*
*note: the phone came with LineageOS in Nougat. Same mic issue
Flashes were attempted with factory reset only and with complete wipe of internal storage (this was the latest attempt)
Also attempted to use MicFix module for Magisk. Still no mic
Also tried muting/unmuting during calls. Still no mic.
Also tried toggling loudspeaker on and off. Still no mic.
Hence, I feel that it is a hardware issue. To strengthen that opinion, there is a one solitary dent on the phone, near where the mic would be. Could be a completely busted mic or disconnected mic.
Also calls works fine via a connected wired earphone with inline mic.
CURRENT PURSUED SOLUTION
To remedy this issue, I wanted to reroute the mic paths for calls. Instead of using the bottom mic, I want to use the top mic instead. So could I get some assist in editing the mixer_paths.xml file of this phone to achieve that?
I found there are a few file with the name mixer_paths
system/etc/usf/mixer/mixer_paths_mtp.xml
System/vendor/etc/mixer_paths_tasha.xml
System/vendor/etc/sound_trigger_mixer_paths.xml
System/vendor/etc/sound_trigger_mixer_paths_wcd9330.xml
There is also this file:
System/vendor/etc/audio_tuning_mixer_tasha.txt
Can anyone help me figure this out with me?
Also, if there is a better way to solve this or that maybe the direction of editing mixer_paths is not quite right please do tell.
Note: I am not adept at codes. I have done a semester of matlab and c++ and that's it. Not really code savvy.
Any assist is very appreciated. Have been troubleshooting this issue for a few days now. Can't seem to be able to solve this
Hmm... I don't know if you'll get the help you need here. You should also try posting to reddit.com/r/AndroidDev, or maybe the general XDA Q&A forum?
What you might find easier to do is just replace the mic entirely. The mic is located at the bottom of the phone, on the charging port module itself. Replacements are available on AliExpress, but they might be missing some features(?). A few other users have the same problem as you. I encourage you to read through this sub-forum.

I'll try with ur suggestion to post this elsewhere. I'd rather not replace the microphone just yet because I'd like to try a non-open-my-phone-apart solution. Not the most dexterous of hands.
use a headphone/bluetooth mic till u fix it
I have a different device but the same issue. Main mic is not good, gives nothing but hisses.
Tried using RuleBot(info.kfsoft.autotask) from play store to automatically enable loudspeaker (which forces microphone to switch) when there's a call. I will update later if it works.
