Microphone only captures white noise after Oreo upgrade - Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Questions & Answers

So, I upgraded directly from Android 6 to Android 8, and now the microphone doesn't work in apps; it only records white noise. All related apps have the recording permissions enabled. Same result in the system's built-in audio recorder, it only records white noise.
However, the microphone works fine when doing phone calls, and also when recording videos using the system's built-in camera app. So it's not a physical issue.
Trying to record videos in Whatsapp gives an error saying to check the permissions, but this error only shows up after the recording is done (which means that the camera does show up and let me record the video), and right after it shows a warning saying that "the file is not compatible", so the Whatsapp video preview doesn't show up and the video is not sent.
Attaching a video recorded externally through the system's built-in camera app works normally, though.
Also, the Santander bank app always crashes on startup, this didn't happen in Android 6.
So many issues, and I did format the phone and wiped up the cache after the Oreo upgrade, but these problems still persists.
Updated everything through Google Play afterwards, and still nothing.

Nexus 4 video recording problems

My nexus 4 has started to develop some issues. The most annoying one is the frequent failure of the camera to record video. I press red record button which registers the touch but no recording starts. It will work for a while after a reboot but always happens again.
When i try to use an alternative camera app to record video i get a message saying "oops video recording is not currently working on your device" so its not just the camera app playing up.
Does anyone know what could be causing this or how to fix it. Running stock and unrooted.
Edit: so playing about with this a bit more and ive discovered it only happens after i try to watch a video from the gallery. So i boot up my phone, record a video and its works ok. I can record videos fine. However if i go into the gallery and try to watch one of the videos playback fails. If i then go back to the camera and try and record a new video i get the issue as described above. BUT if i do the same thing but view the video outside of gallery (i used mx player) the video plays fine and the camera recording continues to work.
So it seems its an issue with gallery playback of the video. I have forced stopped the gallery, cleared data and cache but that didn't help.

Video recording freezes in app, audio keeps going (Harry's Laptimer)

Hello,
I have recently switched from a GoPro to this app to gather more data on track but im experiencing some problems with recording. After emailing with the app developer we came to the conclusion that this seems to be a problem with the device and not the app itself.
Whenever i start recording the camera always seems to freeze at or around the 4min11 mark.
After watching the recording i noticed that the audio does keep going.
I have tried;
- changing the resolution (4K, 1080, 720 and SD)
- close all apps running in background
- exporting the videos to pc to play them with VLC (could have been a playback issue but nope)
Using the camera outside the app oddly enough does not give any problems.
Any chance there is way to solve this issue?
Phone is rooted, running stock oxygen software and had a factory reset 2 weeks ago.
Thanks

Video Recording Error

Most of the time when I go to open the camera app to record a video, nothing will record and I have to reboot my phone. The problem persists in any app that records audio and/or video. I'm running Nougat and did a factory reset within the last week.
Believe I have isolated the problem to Shazam's Auto Shazam feature

Recorded audio is quiet static - But phone calls etc fine

I'm having an issue with my sound not recording while recording video. It just comes through as a quiet static.
The mic works fine as I can make calls, voice commands etc. But any time I use my camera to capture video (stock camera app, fb messenger, Snapchat etc) it will bug out to static noise.
Has anybody else had a similar issue?
I've also had and ignored the slowmo bug where the camera will crash to black screen and need a reboot to get it back. I wonder if they are related.
It seems there is a few with the issue but I haven't seen a resolution in my searches

mic not working in speaker mode

few days ago the speakerphone function on my max pro m1 stopped working. The close mic (earpiece, holding phone to the ear) still works fine. Testing using voice recorder shows that BOTH mics still pick up sound fine (in interview mode), the top mic less so but still of a noticeable volume. Video recording with sound using the camera app still works fine.
In fact, the "speakerphone" mic is only broken during calls from the native phone app and using Skype, Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp (both with and without video, though the close mic still works).
So I can record a video of myself speaking fine, presumably using the same microphone and camera as the messaging apps, then have no/very low volume when making a video call. The same apps will record my voice fine using the voice recording component of the app. It's just during the audio or video calls when it breaks down.
Tried reboot, safe mode, clearing cache, turning off/on noise cancellation, changing app permissions (within reason), and a few other things I forgot.
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
reset & reflashing firmware could not help

I just realized this problem and this occurs to my device too. Maybe it's just a bug from new update, typical. Well, the waiting game begins. Hopefully asus fix it on the next update. Too many bugs.
Issue fixed ......
