Is there any reg hack or other solution to make phone to use the phone's built-in mic even when headphones are connected?

Has anyone seen an inline adapter/cable that will sit between the ear-bud headset and the phone and simply provide a button/switch to mute/unmute the headset mic? I do not need a mic on the adapter itself. I would like it to be an add-on adapter instead of a replacement headset because I want to use the included ones and the headsets I've seen with this feature are of the large over the head type instead of just ear buds.
I know I can mute the mic on the phone itself but it is much slower than just moving a switch eyes-free and it is dangerous to do while driving. This will be very useful for conference calls where I mostly listen but may need to make a comment at any time.
Thanks!
I have a CT802 Idea USA tablet running Android 4.0.3. It is rooted.
Whenever I try to play a video (using any media player program including but not limited to the built-in one), the audio is weird--the volume is relatively low *and* the voices are almost nonexistent--what I get is almost all music. This is only a problem when I have something connected to the headphone jack--it does not happen with the built-in speaker.
If I plug the jack partly in, it is possible to get it into a position where it plays the sound properly.
My theory is that it's somehow falsely detecting surround sound output (but is not detecting it when I have the jack partly in), and when it does so, I'm only getting the left and right channels. I would like to know:
1) Is there any way I can prove this?
2) Is there some setting buried in some file that I can use to disable surround sound completely?
It turned out that the problem was caused by having earbuds with a built-in microphone. Both of the ones I tried had a microphone. When I bought another pair without a microphone, sound was okay.
It's still a problem, however. How do I keep it from doing this? There are no system settings whatsoever related to microphones, and I have no idea how to disable the microphone or otherwise tell it to treat the earbuds as a normal set of earbuds.
Hi everybody,
I hope I'm in the right sub forum. I'm not sure if the question is device specific..
A friend of mine has built-in bluetooth in his car's stereo. It doesn't support a2dp however. There are apps which stream music 'disguised' as a phone call but the quality is way too poor.
That is why he connects his phone's (Moto G 2nd gen.) headphone jack to the stereo's aux-in to listen to music. Now I thought he could use a dac (= digital analog converter = usb sound card) so he wouldn't always have to plug in two cables (usb for charging and the audio jack for sound). Some devices apparently allow charging while in usb host mode (otg) others don't. My Nexus 5 does not but I read that at least the 1st gen. Moto G supports it. I couldn't test it yet since my friend does not live near me.
As far as putting out sound via the dac the setup works (on my Nexus 5). But since the dac does not only have a line out but also a mic in the phone's internal microphone does not work when the dac is connected. When making calls the phone uses the car's bluetooth so that's not a problem but speech commands via 'ok google' don't work since the phone turns off its microphone and the bluetooth mic is only on during calls. I tried connecting an external mic to the dac but it only picks up my 'ok google' if I hold it right next to my mouth.
Is there a way to keep the internal mic enabled despite the dac providing a mic in? Or are there any dacs without mic in? (I couldn't find any)
I hope I could make myself clear. Sorry for the long post.
Thanks
I found a solution:
1. In the android dev options usb-audiorouting can be disabled. So apps generally use the internal speakers and mic even if a usb dac is connected.
2. When using USB Audo Player PRO (to be found in the playstore) the player outputs its audio via the usb dac anyway without disabling the internal mic.
I don't know about stability and quality of this solution yet but I'll leave that for my friend to find out.
I'm trying to use a2dp for my VoIP calls (eg. in Discord) so I don't lose audio quality.
I'm aware that a2dp doesn't support bidirectional audio and so I'm fine with using my phone's builtin mic and not having call controls, that means I just want my bluetooth headset to act as if it was connected with a 3.5 mm jack, no mic, just audio output.
Please avoid responses such as:
It's not possible, you need a telephony profile.

It's obviously false and as I said, I'm aware of the limitations of a2dp and only want to use it as an output and use the phone mic as the input instead just like with 3.5 mm jack headphones that don't have a mic.
As an example It's perfectly doable on Linux by just setting the profile in pavucontrol, there's no reason the same shouldn't be possible on android.
I'm open to any means, I'm rooted and a ROM installing maniac so it's not a problem if any modification is needed which is probably the case.
Have you ever found a solution to this? I have the same issue and am getting quite frustrated with it since it does not work even after messing with the `/vendor/etc/audio_policy_configuration.xml`. Any advice would be much appreciated.
I'm going to use this for a Zoom Meeting, since wireless microphones like Rode Wireless Go are out of my budget, I will use my phone and an earphone.
There's WO Mic for microphone, but I want to hear my participants too so I found WifiAudio Server for speaker. They both work through WiFi.
Rather than using both at the same time, is there an app that works for both Mic and Speaker?
Thank you.
Yes, there is an app called AudioRelay which can send both audio as mic and receive audio for speaker. However, the mic is a bit tricky to set up in windows. But when you get it working it's golden.
It has ultra-low latency 16ms for speaker and for mic its even lower
