Does anyone know if there's a way to modify the actual mic settings on GB Roms?
I use VOIP a lot to save on calls but for some reason, all of my VOIP Apps, including the built in Internet calling feature in setting can't seem to help. I can hear others perfectly but they can't hear me well or not at all.
After doing some testing, I noticed that no sound goes through the mic from my end. I don't experience this issue when making regular calls.
According to the developer for Csipsimple, the issue may be due to some manufacturers not implementing the new API that is required for the stock SIP application.
Any suggestions, if at all possible, would be appreciated. I really wish manufacturers would leave Android as Vanilla as possible.

i'm experiencing the same issue... Microphone does not work on Skype, Viber and other VOIP Calls... i does work with wired headset. Anyone found a solution? I tried different Roms and nothing.

Noticed the skype app runs ok, but doesn't like the microphone input, sounds overdriven and noisy, unusable. I have all EQ and noise reduction setting off.
This was in a quiet environment.
Hope its just a minor tweak needed, the test call receive audio was excellent.
I observed this too.
Mine too. Hope someone reports this so they will fix it.

Thanks for the confirmations.
Skype Devs... help!
Skype is unusable for me as well due to this.
Skype is absolutely not usable for me. Other party only hears noise and nothing else. Waiting for a fix ASAP coz this is one of the main features I been looking for.
Does anyone know if there are plans to fix Skype on the atrix? This is a pretty major screw up on their part...
Has anyone tried Skype with the second microphone disabled?
I just got off the phone with Motorola tech support and their answer is that they don't support Skype and suggested using Qik instead. Doesn't seem like they plan on making any fixes for it as of now.

And how can we do that?
In settings / call settings / noise suppression.

Does not help.
In fact ALL VOIP apps i tried simply do not work.
Motorola really messed this up. i tried cSipsimple, spidroid, fring, tango, Skype, line2....nothing works like it should.
Has anyone tried using a microphone through the headphone jack? This way we can find out where the error is.
have downloaded skype, pretty dumb that i am unable to make calls over hspa+, whenever i try to make a call it states:
"IN THE UNITED STATES, YOU CAN ONLY MAKE SKYPE CALLS OVER WIFI" anyway to remove this?
Did not experience any of the background noise yet, the device is fairly new, trying to find out info myself to help others out, will follow up on any info i find out.
Re: Skype audio distorted on Atrix
I have tried with the NR turned off which should stop the second mic. No difference. Interestingly the Audio Tool app has an oscilloscope that shows seriously overdriven input- noise and clipping. Mirrors what I hear in test calls to my voice mail via Skype. If Qik works,but Skype does not, it must be how the app is accessing the inputs.
no update on this post in several days. do we know of any more updates? i am assuming Skype is fixing something and will come out with an update soon?
any time frame of this update?

It is not a skype problem. it is a Motorola software problem as all VOIP apps on the market simply don't work on the Atrix.
Any application that is trying to access the sound drivers is having issues on this phone.

i guess i stand corrected. thank you for pointing this out to me.
is there an update in the future that we could be expecting?
This drives me nuts. I need skype so bad.
Not just Skype, Basically ALL VOIP apps aren't working because of how Motorola changed the api for the mic. Qik is the ONLY one that works.
Motorola acknowledge the problem and Motorola has to fix this ASAP!

Hi, I am trying to get this to work for the Nook Tablet, anyone have any suggestions?
The app works but it doesn't use the mic, so when I call people they cannot hear me.
Description about the app: "GrooVe IP - app supports making and receiving calls using Wi-Fi and/or 3G/4G data connections. It works via Google Voice." Quote by Explore3.
Thanks so much!

Suggest messaging the app develop to support nook tablet.
I couldn't find any similar app that works...
I don't know which ones I tried offhand... 5-10... none of them worked. Most often the mic didn't work
I tried another app that did use the mic (some voice changer) and it worked with the mic. Just FYI.
I also tried a couple google voice vop apps including gvoice and grooveip with the the same results--no outgoing voice via mic. It seems the mic is not captured by the app, maybe its protected by the proprietary kernel idk. It works with voice recorder and i can blow out the flame on candle, but thats about it. Voice via mic also registers on a db meter app. I guess voip is "locked out" right??
Update after installing CM7 via CW backup. Grooveip is the same--no outgoing voice, but speaker works fine for incoming voice. However, it's the opposite for the other phone apps. On the native phone app provided with CM7 and on gVoice the mic works great, but alas no incoming sound via headphones nor speakers. Also, voice search and voice dial work pretty good, although there is room for improvement on the voice recognition for the dialer.
ps Good job on the CM7 port--its amazing--many thanks!
Has the fix for the mic problem been found yet? And if so what is it??
Google voice search works with the mic now w CM7~! So does gVoice (and also native CM7 phone app), but arrrrg without speakers. I have no idea why the mic won't work with grooveIP, and instead the speakers work. weird how the results are opposite for these voip apps. its soooo close to working I can taste it...
Is there anyone else trying to get this to work? GrooveIP works except for the mic. when I try it. I think it has to do with the mic Device settings.
if gVoice works with mic (but no speaker audio), and in contrast GrooveIP doesn't work with mic (but has speaker audio), its only a matter of getting either app developer to take a look at their app with CM7. just a matter of time.
FYI...I'm running the latest CM9 nightly(20120527) and grooveip seems to be working with both a wired headset and also just using the built in MIC...
Same experience here.
I have a Nook Tablet 16GB custom rom - using Liquid Smooth v2.4 official.
Groove-IP wont even sign in.
even tho on a stock unactivated SGS3 on the same network works like a charm.
After a few minutes it reports no valid network available....
You have to set it up on your PC first.
Won't let me use my mobile number, so I guess I won't be using it on my Nook16, running Android 4.3.
I've had no problems with mic or speakers using GrooVeIP. I've been using Android 4.1.2 20121208 succulent acclaim rom 10.1 running from bootable SD card.
I tried viber, mypeople to make phone calls. None of them worked since these apps dont recognize NT's microphone. I also used earphones with mic but they dont work as well.
Hope there is voip app that works on NT
I tried viber too. Such a shame it doesn't recognise the mic. Maybe possible to tweak a setup file for it to work. Anybody have any ideas which?
I was lookin forward to it too

I have the same problem with Skpye
When I dail somebody,but always failed
Only One time,when I did "video call" to somebody ,it worked,both voice and video
The annoying thing is that if you download google voice search that uses the mic!
I have seen a few reports of people using google voice with groove Ip... also seen reports of it not working though
I have groove ip, I can call out and people hear me, my only problem is hearing them. I might try using the speaker phone setting or headphones and see what happens. hopefully once we can load custom kernels well can find a way to unlock and utilize the Bluetooth enabled chip giving us the option to use a Bluetooth mic and speaker
What about Gvoice app?
I have both gvoice and grooveip on my NT. I have incoming sound but no outgoing on either. How did you get the mic to work or did I misunderstand you having outgoing voice??

Could you share which version you're using? I connect but neither the mic or the speaker seem to work? Did you tweak the mic gain any? I tried a few setting but it didn't seem to make a difference.
cm7 alpha final and no mic with voip
I am using the latest cyanogenmod7 and have used groove ip, line2, and a few other apps without success. Everything works except the mic. I use groove ip now and then to call my phone when i cant find it around the house with my nook. I really need this service to work though. Voip is pretty important to my oj this nook. Hopefully a fix will come along.
my NT is rooted on 1.4.0. (I haven't upgraded yet until I need to or see a useful advantage.)
I've tried the latest version of skype and also groovip. both seem to have a microphone problem. groovip had secial submenu in settings called trouble shooting which handled the inbound voice and got it working but the outbound like skype has mic problems. mic works fine in other apps. possible permissions problem or device mapping issue? I'm not that tech savy so any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. (or a referral to another app similar to groovip)
thank you for retina-refraction-time.

until custom roms are out, there is no way that the microphone will work with any voip apps.
i think the reason behind it is because the nook os is forbidding the microphone to be used with anything other than what it was meant to be used for.
read and record your voice for children's books and the like. this is probably the reason why some apps that use the microphone do work such as google voice search, hi-q mp3 recorder, etc.
the common thing between those two apps is that they are used to record your voice, where as voip does more than that.
so until custom roms are out, voip apps will not work. installing a custom rom means installing new software, in this case installing a new OS.
hope this helps. we are getting real close to CM9 so just hang in a little longer!
I tried out the new beta of Evi (siri altenative on android) it seems to work great. I haven't tried the headphones/mic jack. does it support mic through headphones and has anybody tried it?
I have used teamspeak and ventrillo.

Has anyone used the NT to make a phone call in CM7? I've been playing around trying to add pbxes in the phone settings but I can't get it to take. Anyone had luck at this?
nope, wont work
you have to specifically contact the app developer and tell them to add Nook Tablet as devices to be compatible with
because the voice recorder app works and many other games work
Really? Neither Sipdroid or the native phone app that has voip included in the setting won't work no matter what? I haven't tried Skype as of yet but I'd imagine that and things like Fring would work. But you say not to bother and because they will not?
sorry, forgot to mention i am on the CM7 rom
and before when i was on the stock roms, no they would not work.
in cm7 though, most voice apps will work, except for calling ones since...(i dunno)
my experience is with groove Ip
I have tried everyone I could find (with a decent rating) and results were no mic or no speaker. Could not get both to work on any voip/sip app at the same time.
