Microphone issue - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Hopefully someone can help me with this issue.
When using the stock "Soundrecorder" tool i can record the first two seconds just normal yet right after that the recording-volume just decreases so fast that after one more second i cant hear anything anymore when playing back the recorded sound.
When i stop and record again same thing happens again. This is quite the issue also in Skype since ppl can hear me the first seconds and right after its like i turned the micro off.

Trying one thread bump again to get a respond from someone with similar issues before i hit a factory reset.
The problem is really something i have not seen on any other android device i own. You start recording speech and right after 2 seconds the rec-volume is NULL.
I mean there aint any settings for the sensibility the built in microphone records right?

[Q] Weird microphone issues

I have recently purchased a Lenovo IdeaTab A2109-F which I was quite happy with, since this was the first time I have used an android tablet as I am coming from iOS background.Before I bought the tablet, I read that id had double microphone in order to make voice calls such as Skype clearer. Now , at first it seemed all good and I had people saying that the audio being received is clear and crisp on the other end of the call.
However after 2-3 mins in a call (every call) the microphone then goes really weird and audio being received from it becomes mumbled until it completely degrades where it seems like just random noises, sometimes it even goes all quiet. What I have noticed however , if I blow into the microphone it then goes all good again.
At first I thought it was a Skype app issue and so I downloaded a microphone voice recorder (memo recording sort of app) and same observations were made where voice being recorded completely degrades within 3 minutes of the recording, where blowing into the microphone temporary fixes the problem until it happens again after a minute or so.
Now I am lost here , I really like the tablet and I really doubt it's a hardware issue for some reason. I have a suspicion that something is either upping/lowering the sensitivity of the microphone and where blowing into the microphone seems to then readjust it.
I really hope somebody could help me out, maybe there is an app that allows to change microphone settings , or maybe something else that I could try out.
Thanks for your time! :good:
P.S Android Version: 4.1.1 and latest Skype app. I also tried upgrading the firmware, same problem was observed.
I still have the same issue on my Lenovo A2109. Skype, Line or any internet call, voice degrades within 8 - 10 mts and I had to end the call and re-do the call again. VERY ANNOYING... I thought it was just my tablet. I didn't try the trick of blowing into the microphone. Thanks for the tip. Did you get a solution yet? I thought upgrading would help. But thanks for confirming.

[Q] people can't hear me after screen replacement.

I got a new screen (glass, digitizer and lcd) so
After everything has been put in place, I tried the phone and everything seemed to work. Vibration, connection, sound, and touch screen. So I made everything close and I first set on my phone.
I was called but people do not hear me. Tried again, but people still do not hear me. When I got on whatsapp a voice message recorded but that just working so the mic is working fine. on speaker they can hear me to.
I double checked the cables but everything looks good. I also did a factory reset but no one can hear me..
Anyone know whats my problem?
I can replace the whole cable system witch is atached to the mic but i dont know if that is the problem because the mic work…
Find something interesting:
In the service menu i can test the first and second microphones. The first one record nothing and the second one records as normal.
The second one i find out it is the mic at the top of the phone.
So the first mic must be the one at the bottom.. Dead i think?…
There are 3 ways this could've happened:
1. Just a software glitch. Unlikely, but it's worth doing a factory reset.
2. Mic broke when they changed the screen.
3. They forgot to connect the mic that's not working (if it's a connection and it's not directly on the m/b)
Option 2 and 3 require reopening the phone.

Speakervolume problem

If i start any music from the music app the volume is ok for like 0,5 seconda and After that the volume of the top speaker is almost not hearable. The other thing is sometimes i dont have the Problem. It seems like It just happen randomly. I dont know why and I really dont know how to fix it. I search a solution here but I couldn't find a solution.
So can someone help me?
Edit: Its not only happening in the music app. Also YouTube videos and in games the top speaker is almost not hearable
Have you reset your device? If you have, then it's probably a hardware problem
Sorry that i took so long to respond but the problem solved itself somehow. I also read in the sony forum and find something interresing of an official Sony Xperia support staff write.
I've got some more information about this and when the loudspeaker volume decreases after about one second, this may be caused by “Smart amplifier calibration”, a Sony Mobile protection system for speaker playback to prevent damages to the speakers. The system needs a calibration when you reboot your device the first time. This is why the received voice on the speakerphone appears to be unstable. The calibration takes about 45 minutes. It runs automatically in the background and doesn't affect the audio for normal phone calls.

Seems like these 45 minutes confuses some of us.

XA Ultra Dual microphone issues

Hello guys,
My XAU Dual showing microphone issues during making calls! when I make a phone call my friends keep complaining about barely hearing me (very low voice) or my voice is like someone talking in a deep tunnel with too much echo ..sort of that!
here are some things I tried to fix the issue but all failed to fix it:
1- I tried factory resetting my device
2- tried repairing my device software using Xperia Companion
3- tried disabling audio enhancement (ClearAudio+ ....etc)
4- in settings>call>SIM>Equalizer ...set to normal
5- tried looking for microphone noise suppression in settings.. can't find it
Didn't drop my device & never exposed to any fluids!!
Tho, I ran diagnostics>tested my microphone, one time I hear my voice good, then gave it another try later on & the microphone recorder a very low sound!!
Am really outta options here & this issue really sucks
My device model number is F3212, running android 6.0, build number 36.0.B.2.146.
Any ideas..
I've been experiencing this problem on two different XA Ultras. The microphone seems to switch to the one on the top of the phone so if you hold the phone upside down people can hear you. I've had to switch to speakerphone output to talk to people when this happens. Switching back to phone from speakerphone sometimes makes it work normally but not all the time.
I suspect it has something to do with an app that is running earlier, maybe google play music or OK google.
I have tried reset and it doesn't help. The problem comes back.
There is a similar if not identical issue on another Sony phone, the solution being to turn off microphone noise suppression. I haven't tried this.

I didn't notice that flipping the phone or switching to speaker output might work, gotta try it first.
What bugs me the most is the fact that I can't find anything related to disabiling microphone noise suppression at an section of this device settings!
Am using a headphone currently & waiting for Android nougat to hit the device & hopefully fix the issue.
This problem was never there when I first used my device out of its box, but later on it appeard after may be 2 upgrade patches of Android 6.0 few months later.
Waiting is my only hope...

Question "Can't record audio. Microphone is off or in use."

Has anybody else received this message when attempting to record video on a P6 Pro? I've had this problem for months and a Google search yields only one result of the same problem, with no solution. Posting to Google's help got no replies. It happens fairly frequently, I will attempt to start recording a video, then get an overlay saying, "Can't record audio. Microphone is off or in use." There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it, and the only surefire way to make it go away is to restart my phone...until it does it again. I have noticed that it seems to happen whenever I've recently used Whatsapp for anything at all (not even using the mic), but it also just does it when I'm intentionally avoiding Whatsapp in hopes of recording usable videos.
I'm at my wits end and to me this seems like a software issue of the microphone permission being held hostage by another program but if I can't even get an acknowledgement of the issue then I'm not sure how it's supposed to be fixed...
I would post a screenshot but it doesn't seem to want to let me post both text and images in the same post...
