Reason I ask...
Whenever I put a call on speakerphone, no one can ever hear me.
And I just now noticed the couple videos I took with my DNA are only playing audio out of one channel (right).
Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.
And I know about the noise cancelling mic...
Curious if there is another mic (third) inside that is defective or I just have a bad flash on my rom.
I believe there are 2 one on top and one on bottom of the phone.

sounds like a defective mic.
Mic works on calls without speaker phone on, voice recorder works, video audio records, although only one channel...

sounds like it uses one mic on the call and would normally be doing sound canceling as well but its dead and that happens to be the mic used when on speaker phone. That would also explain why your getting mono recording but to be sure in video options in the camera is stereo sound checked?
Speaker phone works amazing for me on this. Must be a defaulty device?

Yea, stereo is checked.
Might have to deal with it... Not really wanting to go JTag route on a replacement.
Ugh... spoke to HTC. Apparently the mic for speakerphone calls and for stereo recording is located up top with the noise cancelling mic.
So new question, how hard would it be to replace that you think?

So, I don't know if anyone is having this problem, but I sure am. When I'm video chatting, the sound output is VERY low, to the point that I have to put the phone all the way up to my ear just hear someone talk to me. But I can hear myself echo on their end. This happens with Qik and Tango. And I can't hear people through my headphones when I plug them in.
Is anyone else having this problem?

Yup, I've notice when I tried to Qik (video chat) with the wife that the volume was SOOO low we couldn't even use it.

I experience the same issue. I found that if you tilt the phone back and talk directly into the microphone you can hear marginally better. This defeats the purpose of video chat. Is there a way to turn the microphone gain up?

I think were kinda stuck with what we got.The speaker in the back seems extremely weak..I have Power Amp pro and it has a built in pre amp..I turned the preamp up to make the speaker louder and the quality that came out of the speaker was not good.
Sent from that EVO3D Thingy...I need an asprin.
I'm not saying they're having trouble hearing me. It's me having trouble hearing them. I don't know why, but I can't hear them unless I put the back of the phone up to my ear when it's turned all the way up.
Video chat with a speaker on a 3vo is a joke. use a headset if you need to do it.

Hi all, I have a question about my GS2 that I bought recently.
I recently upgraded from a Nokia e71x. I'm a college student with a roommate, so I used a wired headset to talk to my gf quietly at night on the phone (mostly talking low voice or whispering). I bought the samsung earbud+mic that comes with other samsung phones and she couldn't hear me at all or my voice was breaking up. I also tried using a little adapter to use my old ear piece but still, same problem. So I tried to use the earpieces in the voice recorder app to see if it was the calling or the mics and it was picking up my voice with perfect quality!
is there any way to fix my phone so that it sends better voice quality or something? I tried using the mics on my brother's iPhone and they work perfectly fine on it :/
Does it break up when talking at normal volumes? It could be that low volume doesn't work well with that microphone.

Not at normal voices, just at much lower/quieter voices. I know the mic works because using it on voice recorder I can hear my voice perfectly. Also, I used the mics on my old Nokia and my brother's iPhone and it works great
Keep in mind during a phone call noise reduction will be active. Not active during voice recorder. The phone may be half trying to cancel out your voice because it thinks it's background noise.
If you can get noise reduction shut off, that particular microphone may work better. The apple headset shouldn't work as well with noise reduction as it's a different brand, enabling better low volume conversations.
To test it out, use the Samsung headset to call someone and hold the microphone next to the microphone on top of the phone and whisper, see how well it sounds.
Then move the phone a normal distance away from you and see how whispering sounds when the microphones on the phone are and aren't covered.
If it is noise reduction causing you trouble, holding it next to the top of the phone should make whispering pickup better. And covering up the phone mics at normal distance should also improve how whispering sounds.

I tried what you suggested with no difference between any of the mics. Also, I tried to turn off noise suppression, but apparently noise suppression is already off when you use a headset. Thanks, do you have any other advice?
Lol, I guess get an apple headset. I'm sure there might be other things you could do, but I can't think of any. Could just be the Samsung one is not as good as the apple one.

Does anyone know how to have call audio come through the headphone jack when plugged into my headphones while allowing the use of the internal mic for my voice?
I am coming for epic touch 4g that used to do it automatically when I had my headphones plugged in, but now people on the other of the call cannot hear my voice through the internal mic. I am guessing the phone thinks I have a headset with a mic, which I don't, so it turn off the internal mic.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Had the same problem on my Samsung Captivate. I think the headphone jack is slightly different and causes this. I've heard of it being fixed in custom roms though.

Bummer. I went searching through the call settings and did not find anything so this is sounding more like the case..
I actually have the opposite problem and have a headset with a mic, but the voice isn't being transmitted at all.
I can hear them no problem, but they can't hear me. Seems to work fine with the stock earbuds but not with my other headset (which worked fine on my S2).

So with stock ear buds the people can here you through the internal mic? What type of headphones are you using?

Exactly. I'm using my Beats by Dre with the ControlTalk cable. Again, no problems on the S2, just on the Note
Me too
I have the same problem with my Captivate. When I plug in a headphone to listen to music and I receive a call, I cannot take the call using audio output as my headphones and internal phone built in mic for the input.
Has anyone found a solution to that yet ?
--Update.
I'm on Slimbean 4.2.2 and surprisingly it seems to work now.
The noise cancelling headset MDR-NC31EM, does it have a microphone? If yes, where is the microphone?
Another question is what the difference b/t "Noise cancelling (Auto)" and "Noise cancelling (Always)"?
Thanks.
1 I think the mics are on the earpieces
2 I would like to know this too
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
The microphone(s) is in the earpiece.
About the difference between the 2 settings:
"Auto" turns on noise cancelling only when you unlock the phone. When the phone is locked (or screen is turned off) noise cancelling stops.
"Always" means... always. From the moment you plug the headphones till the moment you unplug them noise cancelling in on.
Hope that helps.
Binaural recording
Have anyone tried to record stereo audio using the MDR-NC31EM earphones? Maybe it's possible to do a binaural 3D audio recording through it.
Have you guys make calls using this headset? Many people whom I talked to using this headset told me that it is very noisy and cannot hear my voice properly. Anyone has this issue?

Well I don't have this problem. I switch it to "Auto", and when I make a call, the noise cancelling function seems to be reduced a bit so that the voice of the one talking to me will not be eliminated too much.
This is indeed very unclear.
I was testing it with a friend just now, and when I rubbed my fingers over the microphones on the earpieces they could hear the disturbance. This, to me, seems very strange. If the microphones are pointed outwards, then all the god damn sound around you will be picked up and get sent to the other person. How is that noise cancelling?
What am I missing?
I think I had the noise cancelling set to "Always", but even if it's on auto, the microphones are positioned in a very stupid way. Am I right?

That isn't the case. Auto just means that your phone will try to judge what kind of environment you're in between the three manual presets (airplane, bus/train and office).

The noise cancelling isn't really made for calls, it's for cutting out unwanted noises while listening to music.

Hands-free calling
When a call comes in you can use your MDR-NC31EM to enjoy the call. Your hands are free and you have excellent call audio.
Note: call handling is only possible when the MDR-NC31EM is connected to a device with a 3.5 mm 5-pole audio contact. Check your device specifications for details.

I don't think that you're supposed to switch out headphones when a call comes in. That'd be... strange.
When i want to talk with this headset, i take out one of them and speak to the earpiece. So can the other people good listen was i said.
Hi guys just received my phone and noticed that my headphones doesn't have microphone.
I have got a guide book for the microphone MDR-NC31EM but on my headphone it says MDR-NC31E
Do your headphones have microphone?

The microphones used for noise cancelling act as the microphone for calls.
I've tried them out in call and have had no problems.

The red circle shows were the microphone is on the earphone, a way you can test it is if you activate the noise cancelling, rub your fingers across that part of the earphone, you'll hear that typical swashing sound when rubbing a mic.
(I took the photo with the Z2)
Hi, could you describe the method for recieving calls with this headset? Does it auto-answer, or do you have to press an answer icon on your phone display? As I understand it, this headset doesn't have any volume/answer buttons.
annoying
Correct, the headset doesn't feature any buttons. To me that's quite a downer. It's very inconvenient to pull out the phone for all actions like picking a call and pause/play/rev/fwd music. They sound good and noise cancelling works perfectly in flight, but I really dislike that they don't feature a button.
I've tested mine is nc31e without m.
and it has mic but I can't find where it is.
These are microphones in the headphones.
people i call with this headset dont hear me
Hi guys, as the title says, people i call always scream that they cant hear me. Did any of you got this issue?
same issue

Same issue here.. Pls anyone could help?
I know this is an old thread but I've had a problem with my headset pretty much since day one. People who i speak with can hear the background noise a whole lot more (like a storm) more than what they can hear me.
It works perfect with noise canceling all on its own and with music, the problem lies with calls.
Can anyone offer a solution? (BTW, I've got a Z3)
