[Q] can't use option AUDIO in service menu - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100M
Generally I have a problem with my mic - as many others - ppl sometimes can hardly hear me or don't hear me at all when talking on the phone EVEN I can talk normally on Viber or Skype etc AND Voice Recording recognizes very low sound very GOOD
So I found on this forum, or somewhere, an service menu *#*#197328640#*#* where you can adjust some audio settings - BUT I CANT go only into this AUDIO (no 5) option, in all others everything works just fine.
Does someone know how to resolve this and enter into this sub-menu AUDIO, or maybe you have some better solution for resolving mic issue?
PLS HELP

Help needed

Hi all,
I have searched all over the net for a specific question but cannot find the answer I am looking for.
I have a Galaxy s3 & believe I have the 'low mic problem' that is documented in many Galaxy phones. I have turned off 'noise reduction' which may have helped but my main question is this: When I go into 'ServiceMode' & attempt to choose 'Audio' (by touching or by selecting input and 5)
nothing happens? All other options allow me to go in further. Can any of you help me? And is there another way to boost mic?
I have just converted from Crapple & am very happy with phone bar this one problem.
Have you tried recording audio with the Voice Recorder and playing it back?T
This will check if the issue is caused by the voice call (which can be anything from ROM over modem to provider) or hardware (microphone)

I have tested voice recorder & playback is perfect (recognises whispers to shouts).

No audio from browser, audio player but phone works. possibly skype related.

Hey together. I'm a noob *duck* - but I did quite some search on google and on these forums before posting, and I'm not a very stupid noob.
Today I got the situation that no audio is audible any longer from my browser, games, audio apps, or from an audio player (all of them previously worked). This is the case for headphone and also the built in speaker. The problem occurred very likely after using skype. I also still have audio in phone calls and also I still have sound for ringtones and other alarms. Handset functioms all still work fine.
The first obvious thing I did was checking volume settings in the android settings. There I moved all sliders - the one responsible for regular audio did not give me any feedback. If I use the volume buttons on the phone while I'm on my home screen I get audible feedback - but that doesn't influence my problem.
Funnily the sound in skype still works. More funnily: during skype calls the audio from my browser or the audio player is also audible (I tried this just out of couriousity as I suspected Skype to be the cause of my problem. Et voila - I got sound from a TV News page and also from the Walkman app while the call on skype was still running. As soon as the call in Skype ended the audio from browser and adio player got muted again.
I also tried to kill skype during a call in order to kill it before it can again mute the audio - No luck. as soon as the skype app is killed also the audio from audio player and Browser vanishes.
I also tried some audio apps - all have the same issue of having no sound.
I then tried different apps which control volumes - without any luck. So at the moment I don't have audio, except during skype calls.
I guess that skype has either access to some hardware settings which aren't used usually (I hated skype for things like this as long as it had existed) - or I'm missing something very obvious. Or something else. Does anybody of the developers here know about linux settings I could modify? (is there something like alsamixer which is only possible to access via jni or similar?)
// Edit:
Just found out that toggling airplane mode ON I have sound for media (audio player, browser). (but also lose the ability to use my cellphone and network). As soon as I switch back to airplainmode OFF also audio is muted again. And for sure - I also tried rebooting in different states of my phone quite often without any difference.
// Edit 2:
looks like I found a workaround but no permanent solution - I installed an app SoundAbout (free app) recommended for similar problems in an other thread: 89996-galaxy-s3-media-volume-stuck-mute.html (I have now put output permanently to "headphones" for media sounds. However as soon as this setting is reset to the default (let app decide) it is muted again when airplane mod is set to off - looks like an other app resets it? (could not find any app obviously doing this though as I stopped the usual suspects)
I still suspect Skype as the original reason for this problem as I just recently had it updated when the problem appeard and it also messes with this kind of stuff during usage (and I don't really use other apps dealing with audio except of browser, music player which weren't updated for a long time).
Maybe also of concern:
It's an sony xperia p, running Android 4.0.3 and it is currently rooted.

[Q] CM10 audio gateing

so it seems CM10 (jellybean maybe?) has a built in audio gate, at low sound levels it cuts out frequently (I listen to a lot of classical\chill type music to help me sleep) it also shows up when takeing quiet calls (call centers mostly)
anyone know if there is a way to disable this?
i did a search and one user brought this up before but no solution was offered

Problem with microphone only Video Call (not with Audio-Call)

Hallo everybody,
I have Bluboo Maya Max with the latest original firmware (DK9F23WAE.LTXI.H.SCS8.0419.V3.07) and did not try to root the device or change anything related to audio setup.
When I try to use Maya Max for VOIP calls (only audio-calls) with Whatsapp or Skype - it works good, the other side (the person I am calling) can hear me as well as when I call directly, i.e. VOIP audio call is very good and I can hear the other side very well.
However, when I try to do a Video-Call through Whatsapp or Skype (or any other Videocall app) - the video (picture) is good (in both direction), I can hear and see the other side very well, they can also see me very well, BUT: the other side can not hear me or hears me very badly !!!! As if my microphone volume is
I could not find any setup option to increase the microphone volume.
It is the same no matter what Internet speed I have and no matter if it is LTE or WiFi-DSL-connection. As if the phone uses another microphone or different audio-setup setting/volume when I try to do the Video call . This is specific to my phone (Bluboo) since when I use another phone (Laegoo or Samsung S6) at the same place/time and with the same Internet connection method - the other side can hear me and see me very well (so it is not problem of the I-net connection speed).
Does anybody have an idea why is this happening and how could I solve the problem?
Thanks for your help/suggestions.

Did you ever find a fix for this?
I installed [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][m8qlul] LineageOS 15.1 for HTC One M8s a few days ago and have encountered an issue where audio seems to work fine on normal calls, WhatsApp calls, and in video, but in WhatsApp (and Messenger) video calls although I can hear and see the other person they can see me but cannot hear me.
All permissions for WhatsApp are enabled. I cleared data, uninstalled, rebooted, and then reinstalled but observed the same issue.
Is there anything else worth trying?
Did you find a fix @runswithascript ?
