I just started using Google Talk for video chats and I can't figure out how to turn off the speaker. It remains on even with headphones plugged into the jack. Is there a way to fix this? I've never had this problem with Skype. Thanks. (I'm stock rooted - 2.11.605.5)

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
So recently I bought an LG Optimus M from this guy on Craiglist. He used the phone for about 2 months, for basic things like calling, texting, and light web browsing. But suddenly one day the sound stopped working. I bought the phone for $30 since I want to use it as a wifi only device for music, apps, games, internet, and videos. The phone was on the default ROM with no user downloaded apps.
So when I got the phone, whenever I would adjust the ringer volume, the earpiece would start to make this weird hissing/vacuum noise. This would go on until the phone was restarted.
The speaker and mic don't work. Music and videos simply don't play any sound. Google voice search says no sound was heard. Using earphones (apple earphones with mic and remote) didn't help either, but I noticed the phone recognized when earphones were removed, by auto-pausing videos.
I thought it might be a kernel problem, so I rooted it and installed Cyanogen 7.1 (CM7). This didn't fix the problem.
After sometime though, I went to record a video. I opened it on the computer and noticed the sound recorded too o_o ! I then tested out my earphones, and well what do you know, they worked! Well, the left side was fine but the right side had really low volume. (they worked fine on other devices though). So something is weird about this phone.
After an hour the problem came back again. And I noticed something, there is a headset icon on the status bar, indicating that a headset is plugged in, yet I have nothing plugged in and no bluetooth devices connected.
Help? D: For the most part I at least want earphones to work on it ...
Hello guys,
I've been having this issue for a while now, whenever I use (or even open) a VoIP software (Skype, Viber, Textfree etc.), my headphones stop working and I can't hear anything through them if I play any video or audio. Weirdly, my headphones work when I make calls through those softwares but even after I quit them, I cannot get sound through my headphones until I restart the phone. Speakers work fine in any case.
I noticed it first on Cyanogenmod 4.2.2 but it has persisted through Liquidsmooth 4.3.1 and CarbonROM 4.3.1. I would appreciate any help on how to fix this annoying issue.
Thanks,
My stock camera doesn't record sound, and when making Hangouts Dialer calls I don't hear anything nor does any mic work (plugged-in headset or chin mic). Google Now doesn't hear me, and I can't train the Google Assistant (it never hears "okay Google").
Meanwhile, regular calls (and Google Voice) work fine. I'm now using Open Camera to shoot video, and that app has full functionality. I have a 3rd party voice recorder app that works fine as well.
I did come up with a workaround, in that when I hooked up a USB OTG hub to the phone then plugged in a USB headset through the hub, Hangouts Dialer had full sound/mic capability; I didn't test anything else yet.
So I'm thinking this is some kind of oddball firmware issue. I saw that there was some tinkering that could be done with /system/etc/mixer_paths_tasha.xml (per thread at https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/how-to/fix-mic-speaker-mode-call-t3565646 ), but I don't really know what I'm looking at in there and so while I'm willing to tinker I don't know what to do.
Any ideas?
Hi all, I have a small issue with my Mate 20 Pro and I am hoping someone here would know if there's a fix for it.
The problem is thus. If I'm using earphones and listening to music (eg. radio), if someone gives me a call or I receive a voice recording over FB messenger, after I talk to the person or listen to the message, the music won't automatically start back up. I didn't have any issues like these on my previous phone (i had an old HTC). I even had this problem with my Bluetooth speakers, but for some reason, it kind of fixed itself and now the speakers start playing the music back after a call without a problem. It's just the earphones/handsfree that I'm having issues with.
Anyone else has similar issues?
Thank you in advance.
