Hello,
I have a weird problem, I put CM 10.1.0 RC5 on my Motorola Razr xt910 and the mic stopped working when in calls.
This is most probably not a hardware issue since it works fine during video recording and I am able to hear the sounds just fine then.
But the person on the other end cannot hear me when I make/receive a call.
Also, whenever I try to open voice search or google search mic icon then I get an error "Unfortunately google search has stopped working" and the application does not open up.
I updated the RC5 to 10.1.0 stable and then also put on yesterdays nightly, no luck, everything else works except the mic during calls.
Any pointers to what I should do to get this resolved?
Thanks,
Saket

The mic randomly muting is a known issue in kexec kernel/ROMs.
However generally it works after a reboot.
Check your stock ROM if mic is working there or not.?

It was working for a few days but with reduced volumes.
I also did check by going into Stock and it does not work there too. The error that I get there is also same, the search crashes.
Reboot wont help because I did it many times after reading a couple of forum responses.
Thanks,
Saket.

Then its a hardware fault. As you said it worked with reduced volume, also suggests the same.
Get to the customer support and get it replaced.

Yes, but it works during video/sound recording.
Is the mic used different at these times or is it the same?

Its the secondary mic. It is used for noise cancellation too.

Secondary/Camcorder mic
The primary mic on this machine is soldered on the PCB!!!
Is it possible to use an app or a system tweak/mod to force the use of the secondary/camcorder mic? Have not found anything yet.

Same here!
I've been changing the order in audio_policy.conf but no success... Does anybody know how we can force the phone to avoid using front mic?

I use voice chat on Skype a lot, but I also love the speed from 4.4.1 + crpalmer's kernel + bionic libs, however, there's one thing that's keeping me away from that speed, and that's voice chatting being broken on 4.4..Does anyone know a fix for this or know what kind of problem it is? Is it a 4.4 ROM problem or a kernel problem? Whether stock kernel or crpalmers, whenever I initiate a Skype call, it literally kills my ears, it makes this extremely loud screeching and static-y noise that never goes away unless I restart my phone...Anyone know what's up with this?

Have you tried last night's CM 11.0 nightly build? I specifically posted in that thread (which is where you should be looking to see if there is anything new) that I had pushed changes that *might* fix Skype problems and asking for feedback and yet I received 0 feedback.

Oh alright, I'll try it out right now, I'm booting into recovery, I'll get back to you with results in about 5 minutes.

Sorry for double post, I just wanted to make sure you saw it, but, Skype calling still makes that horrific static noise as before, thanks for trying to help anyway though.

What version did you install? (Specifically)
Are you using your phone as a phone, speaker phone, headset, bluetooth?

I'm using my headphones to test the Skype call audio, and I'm testing 20131211. I'll try speaker phone audio right now.
EDIT: I don't even hear anything when Skype calling through phone speaker, no call tone or anything.

That sounds like the behaviour prior to the changes I pushed. I just double checked an a wired headset is working fine for me.
What does your phone say in Settings >> About Phone >> CyanogenMod Version?
As the heading tells:
The microphone of the Tablet does not work in skype
A test with voice recorder and some other apps etc shows that the mic itself works perfectly - but not in Skype. You hear only some "brrrrrrrrrr" noice in skype test call (echo test)
Any hints, tips and experiences about this?
TIA
Uwe
Correctig:
Also microphone im IMO and Viber do not work. Onyl distorted sounds at an low level.
In "Agent Mail.RU" all is working flawlessly without any problem.....

Try updating firmware. I'm using it in skype quite frequently and there are no problems.
I installed the last available Nightly CM12.1 - no way
Also PAC-ROM does not work with Skype.
I also made a factory reset and installed all from beginning --> NO WAY
Or do You mean of another firmware?
I can confirm that I have the same issue with latest cm 12.1 (and with previous versions for quite some time).
If anyone knows how to fix that, it would be awesome since I searched for resolutions but could not find one :crying:
Thanks

On CM try editing mic settings (gain, etc...) with kernel auditor.
So I was running greezepop ROM and whenbi get a phone or make a phone call they can't hear me but I can hear them. I flashed a new ROM and still the same issue. Is there a fix for this? I tried searching the thread but couldn't find anything. Any help would be awesome! Thanks in advance.

I tried the mic test and got nothing. Seems like the mic is broken.
This happens to me on both the stock ROM and Greezepop unless I disable noise suppression in call settings. For some reason, noise suppression only works properly sometimes. When it doesn't work properly, turning it off or switching to speaker phone works. No other apps seem to be affected.

I'll give that a try. If worse come to worse do you know of any links that show how to replace the microphone. I've searched high and low on here Google and on YouTube with no luck.
My Xperia Z2 (D6503) Android 5.1.1 - has problem in microphone. When I make a call, people can't hear me. But when I use Audio Recoder, the microphone works fine. I wonder if my microphone is broken or not, because it still work fine in Audio Recorder. Please help me to solve this problem. Thanks!
try disabling noise suppression under Call settings

Thanks, I tried that too, but it still not work.
Some guy tell me that the phone has 2 microphone, one for call, and the secondary microphone for recording. Is that true?
Under the Google App voice settings, try disabling "OK Google" detection "from any screen".
I had the same problem and this fixed it.
It didnt work to me.
I tried like you guys posted, but it didnt work to me. Im using Kitkat 4.4.4, everything is ok until I update some app nearly time on CHPlay. Disable Google Now, goog search or anything, even reset factory data but nothing change to me. Somebody help me

I am quite not sure, but apparently everyone in this thread are having hardware issues rather than software.
I would bring it to some professionals in a proper phone shop and try that.
