In my xperia play there is two mic, one on the bottom for calling, one on the back for noice reduce.I flash the FXP139(base cm9) a fews days ago, and found that this rom use the "mic on the back" as the main one, for example, when use google voice search , I have to speak to the phone back, it looks very stupid.
So my question is, it's possible to specify a mic as the main-mic for the app?BTW, my mic volum is very low when calling, so I also want to known how I increse the mic gain, thx for any body can help me
Hello there,
Whenever I try to use Voip (android build in or external app) with turned on Noise suppression, I can only be heard if I talk into the back of the phone where the secondary microphone is located. It works though, even if not great, if I turn off the Noise supression future.
Is my sola broken or is that a general Issue?
Anyone here ever tried VOIP , gtalk with voice or skype on the sola or a similar model?
thanks for your comments
When I place or receive a regular call the other person can barely hear me unless I speak less than 0.5 inches from the microphone. At less than 0.5t inches, they hear me good. At 2 inches extremely muffled or nill (this is the distance of the mouth in a regular call), and at 3 or more inches nothing at all.
Physically the mic however works fine when recording videos, so it has to be something non-physical. Also confirmed with a test on the Microphone at *#*#7378423#*#* where the both primary and secondary mics record fine.
In desperation I used flashtool and re-image the whole thing (even with erasing all data) with the latest XpriFirm ROM and tested it right after the successful image and without installing any 3rd party apps. The problem still there.
I also tried 3 different ROMs from different countries, but the problem still there.
Using a external wired headset mic works fine.
It seems, like a setting that is aggressively reducing the mic sensitivity just for the phone calls.
Ruled out 3rd party applications, mic physical damage or normal Android setting, I am really lost on to proceed from here!
Does anyone know what to do?

Bootloader has never been unlocked so no root.
Do you have the volume all the way up during the call? As in once call is started turn it up.
Idk how much it will help but have you tried to flash the soundmod? I have never had a problem with the mic other than a small echo on speakerphone. Also have you tried speakerphone wile in call? Might be something wrong with the phone apk, try a third party phone dialer? It wouldn't hurt to go through the sound menus to check everything as well.
Hi!
I doubt is a setting (in the Sound Effects options everything is off) since I flashed a stock clean ROM.
Did not know there are alternative dialers... I will study them today.
Regarding flashing the soundmod, can you do that without being rooted? If so, i'll search in how to do it too.
Cheers and thanks from just a couple of dozen miles south of you Sagnasty.
Have you tried to change the value of microphone sensitivity, although the option is in the Settings / Sound and Notification / Accessory Settings - turn mic sensitivity to high and see how it is then in a conversation?
The Speakerphone as suggested by civicsr2cool was surprising... the mic just picks up voice just fine from the distance in that setting!!
Then I just played with those mic sound settings as per Monipeev, (I did that days ago) but now it did something and in any sensitivity setting works fine... it must have been playing with this setting and the speakerphone one that may have unstuck some mic glitch.
Thanks so much guys... and two think I spend hours trying to solve this and even flashing ROMs! :victory:
Hi everybody. It happend to me with my Xperia Z5 compact as well - the mic did not work properly during call, but when I tested it offline the mic was OK. Playing with settings did not work as well as factory reset, so I ordered microphone spare part from China (ca 2$) and replaced it. Then the problem disappeared. I agree with polar_bay above it seems like mic glitch - I think my spare mic was slightly different from the original (maybe less sensitive) and that's it. Maybe also complete voltage drop (battery disconnection) helped to unstuck it.
My recommendations are:
1. play with mic settings (sw)
2. open the phone and disconnect the battery for a while (1 minute)
3. place small&thin absorber between mic and hole in phone case
4. replace microphone
hi, I have just bought another used xperia z5 compact as my other device has gotten old. after I received the new one I almost directly rooted it installed twrp and flashed lineageos 17. after a while I recognized that the microphone is not working during calls, only if the speaker is enabled. also when i want to record audio or use the tuner it doesn't work.
is there any chance to find out if it is a hardware problem or if it can be solved by some setting or so, be it coding?
thanks for any hints!
Hi guys i have a little problem with my z ultra, i replaced my lcd screen and in the process i damage the microphone and i was wondering if i could use the secondary mic as primary to make and receive calls i do know that the second is for media use lke video but if there is a way to enable it to be use as. any idea? thank you
Hey guys, so I've had my pocophone for a while now, the phone works fine, although I have an issue. Whenever I call with someone, it seems like I'm far away from the microphone. I've tested the microphone using a microphone testing app, there I noticed that when I talk directly to the camera, it seems to pick up way more than when I try to talk on the bottom mic (the 6 dots on the left next to the usb input). So I've been wondering, why is it like this? And is there a way to fix this? I have to use an external mic (from my earphones) to be able to communicate clearly since it picks up that microphone instead, but I'd prefer it if I can just talk to the phone directly.
