No Sound In Call - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

My microphone and speaker are completely unresponsive when in a call. The microphone is working on every other app on the phone. I'm not sure how to test the call speaker without being in a call but every single other audio function on the phone appears to be working normally which suggests to me that this is a software issue. However, I recently had the micro USB port replaced so I assumed that it's a possibility that there is a hardware issue, I don't know enough to say one way or the other.
Prior to having my phone repaired I was running CM 13 and everything was fine, I wiped it before it went in for repair with the intention of flashing the latest LOS nightly build on return. After this I discovered the call audio issue. I then tried the previous nightly build, same problem. I then wiped and flashed CM 13 again and the issue persisted. I then left it for a few hours and came back to it and the call audio was working fine again, so I wiped it and flashed the latest LOS nightly build again, and the issue has returned.
I am completely out of ideas on this one, can anyone shed any possible light on this?
Edit: Clarify to add this is the kate model, I'm not sure how many or if there are any variants at all of this phone but mine is the SD650/3GB/32GB model.

You have a radio problem, because of the changes made in Android 6 and 7(please don't "bomb" me if I am wrong). I have the same problem. Does viber, Skype, whatsapp work ok? This was my temporary solution:when i install this rom(probably because of the radio) everything works fine

I just tested a WhatsApp call and have the same issue. Thanks.

I thought something was strange with that after reading about the issue a bit more, so I tried a Skype call, and the audio was working. I'm going to try the ROM you linked.

I can now say that the call audio is working fine with the Nexus Experience ROM, thanks for the help.
Can you (or anyone else for that matter) tell me if I would be able to install the latest LOS nightly along with that radio app provided there and call audio would work, or are they not compatible?

Can you please send me the link of Los you wrote about? I think that it would be OK,I will try

mic stops working in phone app

Hey,
the mic on my phone randomly stops working in calls made with the stock cm9 phone app. The other party doesn't hear anything at all, dialing tunes are transmitted, though. The Mic does work in every other app I have tested so far, just not for normal Phonecalls...
I thought it might be because of the modem so I flashed some others which temporily fixed the issue but it always arose again some time later.
I tried clearing cache and deleting the apk's data, no help
(I made sure I didn't mute in call volume, just in case u wonder)
Running cm9 rc2, stock cm9 kernel, modem i9300xxlef
I appreciate any help

I did, the issue was caused by the radio. I flashed the XXUGMK6 radio(I believe from somewhere in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...s3-modem-radio-collection-t1740061)(otherwise try sammobile) and after a few reboots it worked. For some reason it takes more than one reboot for radio changes to take effect. I hope this helps.
thx, but it did not work out for my phone.
I really think, it is a hardware issue.

Skype on 4.4/4.4.1?

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?
As far as I know, it's a hardware issue, and not a software issue. I was having the same issue with Newt's 4.2.2 GPE ROM. I got tired of the Skype bug and installed the Unofficial CM 11 (Before official was announced), and the issue was still there. I did an RUU to 1.15. Still had the issue. Installed Newt's GPE again, the problem isn't there anymore. So I'm assuming it's a hardware issue. If possible, take a look at the logcat when trying to voice chat on Skype. See if you see any errors regarding the microphone. I think it's just a fluke. Some people have the issue, others don't.
Its a kennel Issue I have the same Prob too

As far as I know, Skype audio has been working right in CM 11 since December 10th. Please tell me that you are running a more recent ROM than that.
For giggles, I just verified that I have no audio problems using the Skype test service either using the phone as a handset or using speaker-phone. I didn't bother trying headset or bluetooth as those were more likely to work in the first place.
If you still think that there is a software problem, please install the latest nightly of CM 11, do not install anything except Skype, do not restore anything, do not change anything (especially ART). Verify a problem using the test service and then provide a logcat in the CM 11 thread. Also, repeat the same steps with a stock ROM and verify that it works there.

[Q] i9300 no sound in front speaker on incoming calls

Hello everyone,
Just got my S3 ( i9300 ) and surely enough flashed it to latest cm stable from their website which is 10.2.
Everything works, but I have this strange issue with incoming calls. When i answer the call, I cant hear the other person through the front speaker. I need to enable the back speaker and disable it to get sound on the front one. Sometimes the sound would be distorted. This does not happen on outgoing calls, they work perfectly fine.
I later flashed kitkat nightly and it had the same issue.
Problem goes away if i recover to stock. Unfortunately, i can't stand the damn thing.
Baseband v: I9300XXUGMK6, which is the newest for my region and also seems to be most common.
I tried googling, but couldnt find this specific glitch.
Any suggestions would be appriciated.
Thanks
Same problem, same story

I'm very happy to report, that yes I have. Archidroid rom ( 2.4.6 is the latest stable ).
Occasionally, I still get the same glitch, but it happens once every three reboots and goes away after first time it occurs.
Edit: i've also flashed the new baseband which comes with the rom: I9300XXUGNA8

I had the 2.4.5 installed and had to switch because of the issue, so i switched to archidroid 1.x version and problem was gone, now on archiport(ultimarom beta1) the problem is there again. Thats real sad because the rom is such awesome
So i think sammy had done something in their 4.3 version that fixed that

That's really odd, since I've been using Archi ever since I first flashed it ( at the time I believe it was 2.3.x ), and I'm a happpy user since then.
try dialing outgoing call to whatever number a couple of times and then get some incoming calls?
And yes, Archidroid is awesome, has everything you could possibly want ( the only exception being MHL )

I just have to activate loud speaker and then deactivate during call and sound is normal, a lot of users have the same issue but noone have a 100% solution. I know its awesome and will give it a shot when he release his 2.4.7 with CM

After i had a go with Omni, I can't think of any reason why should I switch back to CM. Arhci mentioned CM's support and developer base as a reason for the switch, will see...
I use my phone at work quite heavily and it's just impossible for me to switch back and forth speakers.
Found something interesting in kryten2k35 thread... Will report

mic problem

From the past few days I'm observing that people can't hear me clearly until and unless I put the mic very near to my mouth from normal position. But when I tried recording with mic from a normal it clearly record the audio without any problem.
Moreover my in ear volume becomes low too.
I tried flashing several custom eui based Roms and nougat Roms and kernel. The problem remains same. Is it a hardware issue or some software issue?
Anyone?

Hello it is a pity that no one can help us.

Hello, unfortunately does not go.
But the idea is not bad.
The thought that someone installed a system fresh.
And then upload it as Twrp backup (upload)
Let's see if someone finds.
If it works it can help many.
Same problem here... first i thought it is a hardware-problem, but when i "normal" call someone without BT or freespeaking he could hear me clear.
But every ROM i tested had this issue....
What ROM are you using where it is working?

Redmi Note 9 Pro Speakerphone is always active on custom roms. can't switch to earpiece

Hi, I'm having a issue with my redmi note 9 pro. Whenever i try to make a call, it always goes to speakerphone. I cannot get it to go to the earpiece. WHen i try turning off speakerphone, the audio is still routed through the bottom speaker, and the person on the end of the call notices i sound broken up. WHen i swotch on the speakerphone the sound is clear, and then the person can hear me just fine. I've tried with whatsapp, google voice, and the regular phone app, and all have the same issue. I'm running Evolution X currently as my rom, but i've tried lineage os, and it has the same bug. On stock MIUI I don't remember having this issue, so maybe it's something weird with the custom roms. I'm also rooted with magisk. Anyone got any ideas, or has anyone ever experienced this issue when running custom roms on this phone? Any ideas, or suggestions are welcome. Thanks
Hi, I have this problem too. Of course inside the pubg mobile game. To temporarily solve this problem, first turn off the phone and connect the headphones when the operating system logo is displayed. A hissing sound is heard when plugging in the headphones.
Of course, to avoid this problem, you should use Bluetooth headphones.
Hi, I just tried your suggestion. it doesn't appear to work. My issue is with the earpiece, not headphones. Headphones for me have always worked flawlessly when running custom roms or stock. My issue is when making calls using the earpiece. Making calls using headphones seems to work fine. However when trying to use the earpiece, i cannot get it to work. What i mean by earpiece, is the top speaker of the phone, the one you have to hold close to your ear when making a call. FOr whatever reason calls always remain on the bottom speaker, and never seem to go to the top speaker aka earpiece. This happens in all calls, and in apps like whatsapp. Has anyone else ever experienced this issue? Again, headphones seem to work fine, and yes I'm rooted, and running a custom rom. When i was running stock, I don't ever remember this happening, but now that i'm running a custom rom, i can't get the earpiece to work. I really don't want to go back to the stock miui rom, but idk maybe i will if a solution can't be found

I am having the same issue! any solution please let me know!
I am having the same problem - BUT on stock MIUI 12.5 - it started happening after I upgraded. If I could go back I would, but am happy to flasha new ROM if that will fix it.
I was thinking of flashing Lineage 18.1 but if that is having the save issue I ont bother. It must be a note 9 pro issue seeing as I only have the stock version..
I wonder if anyone at all has fixed this issue. I even contact xiaomi technical support but they were useless!
Anybody found its solution please update?
I'm having the exact same issue. When I initiate call it's on loudspeaker even though I didn't select that option. The other side can't hear me well. When I select "speaker" then it's still on loudspeaker, as it should be, and the other person can hear me fine.
I had the problem on crDroid (Android 12) and am currently experiencing the same problem on Pixel Experience (Android 12).
Please help someone us
I found the solution when I changed sim 1 to sim 2 the problem was solved.

Not quite sure I follow. Are you saying to remove sim 1? Or are you saying to change the default calling sim to sim 2 or something? I should note that I'm using both sims and a SD card. Are you saying I should just use sim slot 2?

Short version:
OK, so I just tried your advice, and it WORKED.
Long Version:
Ok, so I first removed both sims with the phone off. Then i put one of my 2 sims ONLY in slot 2 like you said. I inserted it into the phone, booted it up, and made a test call. To my surprise, the phone wasn't on speaker. I couldn't beileve it. I tried again, and it worked. I switched to speaker, now it's on speaker. I turned off the speaker and it was back to the earpeice! I tried whatsapp, and same result, the earpiece was working. I then decided to shut the phone down, and put the both sim 1 and 2 back in the phone. Guess what? after booting the phone up again, and making a test call, it still works! I don't understand the rhyme or reason behind it, but I'm not complaining. I'm so happy it FINALLY works.
to recap, Basically here are the steps:
1. Turn Off phone
2. Remove both sim cards.
3. Put a sim only in slot 2
4. Turn on phone and make a test call, it should no longer be on speaker!
5. go ahead and shut down the phone, and put a sim in both slots, if you are using 2 sims.
6. Turn the phone back on, and make a test call. It should still be working on the earpiece!
yes - this worked for me also - I have been looking for so long. A simple and un-remarkab le solution to a serious problem. Xiaomi should have been able to solve this.
All the same - thank you!
Great phone that was hindered for quite a few months by this serious problem
Again - thank you !
