[Q] Video Camera Mic Volume, Sound Recorder, Voice Dialer - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Flashed the latest CM7 build for Thunderbolt and the new OTA radio.
The relationship between the OTA radio and CM7 probably has nothing to do with this...
Anyways, my problem is with many applications that use the microphone.
For example: Voice Dialer, Sound Recorder, Video Camera Microphone, etc.
The microphone recording volume is really low. Anything I can do to bump this up?
The volume is so low that I have to literally scream into Voice Dialer to make it hear anything.
Weird thing, Google Voice Search works just fine.

I also have the same problem. The problem is also occured Video chat programs, such as Skype and Tango.
Do anyone resolved this issue?
I'm at MR2 radio(latest official one) + CM7 RC 1.2

I have this same issue.. its the only thing "wrong" with CM7 at the moment that I've found atleast.

I have the same problem. I notice that when I use the speaker phone for skype, the mic don't work. When I use the headset, the mic works fine. This is the only problem with CM7, I hope it gets fixed! Thanks.

For Skype, my audio is really low. For the video camera, the audio is way to loud and is frequently clipping

[Q] Fring mic volume

Is anyone successfully using Fring on a Vibrant? I have a rev 2 ffc installed, Bi-Winning V2 and Fring used to work pretty well. I can't say exactly when, but sometime in the last month or so it started having problems with mic volume. I make a test call, and I can hear myself, but just barely. People I call complain about being barely able to hear me. The camera works fine.
I see that some people are saying that Fring is working with CM7. I was wondering if there are any other roms that Fring might be working well with? Or if anyone has any idea how to adjust the mic input? Thanks!
Funny you should ask that I was starting to think I was going crazy. My mic volume was fine before but I flash new roms a lot and don't really check if the mic volume is working properly. But for some reason I am having the same issues... camera works fine but mic volume is really low. I don't remember which rom I had that had the mic sound working properly and can't seem to find one that does.
Strangely enough, using the voice recorder records my voice at the expected volume. I started to think my phone got busted somehow. I tried increasing mic sensitivity on the voodoo sound app but that doesn't work either.
Maybe it's a fring issue. I'll try another video chat app and report back if I find something else.
Currently I am running Bi-Winning v3.
Well, I guess that answers the question as to whether I should update to Bi-Winning v 3.0 to solve the problem.
I beleive this is a Fring thing. I've gone so far as to pull and older version of Fring out of an old Titanium backup and installed that apk. (v 2.4.4.2). The older version seems to work better, although the mic volume is still not great. I think that I would have viewed it as OK in the past, though.
If you'd like to try the older apk, let me know and I'll post it somewhere.

[Q] Microphone not wokring

I'm rooted currently running Shostock ROM with Siyah kernel. The microphone works for calls but not for apps. I noticed the problem when I could't use voice search but then I noticed it effects everything such as voice to text, voice recorder, can't even record video because that uses the mic. Suggestions?

[Q] Skype speaker not working

Gentlemen,
I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S III which I've rooted and installed the latest AOKP milestone, which I really like. Here's what I'm running:
Android version: 4.2.2
Baseband version: T999UVDLJA
Kernel version: 3.4.40-aokp-g4c49719-00569-g2b8fa28
AOKP version: aokp_d2tmo_jb-mr1_milestone-1
Build number: aokp_d2tmo-userdebug 4.2.2 JDQ39
Aside from the occasional random reboot, which I can live with, the only problem I have is with Skype. It won't play audio over the loud speaker on the back of the phone. Audio only comes through the earpiece which is much too quiet. Ringing, call audio, everything plays through the earpiece. In an audio-only call, you have the option to toggle between the earpiece or the speaker, but both options just play through the earpiece.
Making a normal speakerphone call (not using Skype) works great. Skype just can't seem to use the speaker. What can I do to diagnose and fix this?
I know it sounds obvious, but I gotta ask anyway. Have you checked the settings in Skype?

Yes, I've been through all the settings and there's nothing about speaker vs. earpiece. The only option I've seen to toggle between the two is when I'm on a voice only call. However, when I've tried toggling speaker/earpiece, sound will play on the speaker for half a second then go back to earpiece.

I'm having the same problem. In my case there is no choice of speaker in Skype at all (not within setting nor while calling). I have seen some print-screens of the mobile Skype and there was as option for switching to loud speaker/headset while talking (a blue icon with speaker/headset). However, when I'm making a call, I don't have such option. I went through all sorts of discussion, but I haven't seen any solution to this.
Resolved
Regarding the option to switch speakers during a call, it's only available during a voice call. If video is enabled, the option disappears.
It seems the issue has been mostly resolved for me. I'm not sure if the problem was with CyanogenMod or Skype. Since I couldn't find a solution in May, I just abandoned using it on my phone. I didn't pick it back up until a week ago when I upgraded to CyanogenMod 10.1.0-d2tmo and got the latest Skype app (recently released). Now everything mostly works as it should. It's still buggy, but usable.
Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo.
I was searching for this Skype Bug Fix everywhere, with no success
But today I was trying everything, and my speaker started working after I putted volume less then have.
So by putting lower volume it works on my Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo (GT-I9060)

[Q] audio input - mic routing problems

Hi all, I've inherited a used Evo3D GSM phone which works very well except for one important issue. The Mic seems to be failing.
I'm not completely sure if this is a hardware problem or just routing.
Strangely enough, with ICS based Roms, the phone is using the earpiece (?!) as microphone; when I speak with my mouth near the earpiece sound is crisp clear on the other side but when I speak to the Mic it sounds muffled (because in fact sound input seems to be set to the earpiece and the mic is not active).
When I switch to VoIP calls using CsipSimple, the person on the other end cannot hear my voice. Only when I go into CsipSimple settings and change "Audio mode for SIP calls" from IN_Communication to IN_Call, the phone works as in a regular call (with earpiece as input, mic dead).
With other, JB and KK based roms, I've had different results; CsipSimple always crashes, no matter what settings I use and phone calls audio are always broken (no input).
Has anyone had similar issues? Can u use CsipSimple without problems on JB and KK based Roms?

LineAgeOS 14.1 - LG G5 H850 voice record problem

Hey guys,
yesterday I installed the 14.1-20180719-NIGHTLY-h850 version of LineAgeOS on my phone.
Everything worked fine, but then I found a bug.
WhatsApp voice mails and any other voice record doesn't have any sound except an cracky sound at the beginning, after that, theres no sound.
The strange thing is, when I record a video with any camera App, theres normal mic sound, maybe a little bit crackling.
Do you know how to fix this?
PS: If I connect a headset, I get very strange Sound in WhatsApp voice mails/records etc and no Sound in Discord.
Also WhatsApp and Snapchat (no more tested) don't record the sound with Headset mic rather the normal phone-mic.
Ok guys, after flashing it new... a few times... I got normal mic performance when no Headphones or Headsets are connected.
If so, the mic level is very, very, low.
Any ideas?
My mic doesnt work regardless if I was on stock, downgraded version, custom ROM, etc. I dont know what to do. I do have the same symptom as yours tho where when I record, there is a few pops at the beginning then just silence
I got the replacement module for the g5 and not even that fixed it. I am stumped of how to fix this issue.
EDIT: I just now found out that after taking out the motherboard, there was a red sticker covering some golden connectors, after taking that off fixed it. No idea why there was a red sticker there but please check and if it is there then take it off. itll be on the other side of the motherboard..
