RN4 Snapdragon mido with Lineageos20, echo in calls, mic sounds in headset - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

I installed Lineageos 20 on my device, and I keep hearing my own voice and other mic sounds through my headset, both in calls and after calls while the headset is connected. Other people say they hear echoes of their own voice. I don't know if the two are related.
Additionally, after a messenger call, both headset and builtin microphones sometimes stop working everywhere, but come back after another call, I can't seem to find a more exact pattern to replicate this.
I tried so far installing a microphone-fix magisk module, but I think it was only for microphone volume, and also editing build.prop to include :
Code:
ro.vendor.audio.sdk.fluencetype=fluence
persist.vendor.audio.fluence.speaker=true
persist.vendor.audio.fluence.voicecall=true
persist.vendor.audio.fluence.voicerec=true
though I'm not sure if these are the correct lines, I've found conflicting information about fluencetype on build.prop, or even if it's relevant at all...
Any information that could help to fix the issues?

Hangouts Video Call Issue

This is a weird bug that has made my hangouts video calls unusable. If this has been addressed before I apologize.
When I make a video call on my G2 and the mic is set to speaker the person on the other end cant hear me. It is only until I set the mic option to headset that can the other caller hear me. This makes for my having to hear the other caller through the earpiece at a low volume. My phone works for calls through both speaker and earpiece so IDK what's up. I am currently on Slimrom If this belongs in that thread ill repost it there.
Thanks for any advice.
hi,
i am using a stock firmware, and i do not encounter this problem
so i tend to think it's related to your rom
did you try however to delete the cache and data for hangouts ? and basically reconfigure the app . Perhaps it will help

Outgoing Call Distortion

I have a problem with the outgoing audio on voice calls - after about 40 seconds in a call, the other person is telling me that my voice is sounding very distorted and broken up. The first 40 seconds or so are normal.
I have found that a temporary fix is to enable and disable the loudspeaker during the call.
It seems that OPOs and some OPTs have a similar issue, and I have found threads on the One Plus forums suggesting various edits to build.prop, which I'd rather not do. Example here .
Is anyone else having similar issues, and have you found a fix?

[SD] Weird mic issue which is making my RN3 useless

Hey everyone,
Ever since I've received this RN3, its mic has been a constant source of frustration. it appears to be off during phone/whatsapp/.. calls (other party can't hear me AT ALL). Now before you think that this is a HW issue, when I record a video with the builtin camera app, it does record sound but at a lower volume than I think it should be. This is what i've tried/noticed so far:
- The exact same thing happens on Global 7.3.2, Global dev 6.5.19 and Chinese 7.3.2.
- Swapped SIM and/or placed SIM in tray 2 (no effect)
- Flashed Santhosh's CM 13 ROM (other party still can't hear me)
- Used builtin sound recording app on MIUI ROMS: I can hear a lot of noise but not what has been recorded
- Used builtin sound recording app in CM 13 ROM: nothing
I've looked on the en.miui forum board and apparently I'm not the only one with this issue. Other ppl are facing the issue that the mic gets shut off after recording video (and a reboot solves it), but this is not the case for me.
Does anyone have any idea? Thx.
Have you fixed that problem?
I have the same issue but a little bit different. I don't own a pair of hans-free so when I answer a call I connect a pair of headphones and talk from the phone's mic. So unless I have the phone 1 cm next to my mouth the other person cannot hear me, which didn't happen with my old phone (the other person could hear me even if the phone was 2 meters away from me). And it is not an issue because when I answer a call in speaker mode it operates correctly.
So I've discovered that the problem lies within the secondary mic next to the jack port which is used for noise cancellation as people state in miui forums. The only solution I've came up with is covering the secondary mic with my finger every time I answer a call. With this solution the secondary mic is "disabled" and the primary mic operates as expected, people can hear me even if the phone is not right next to my mouth. Of course this is not a permanent solution but I haven't found a way to disable the secondary mic through software yet, or calibrate it to not falsely filter every sound as noise and canceling it.
hallo guys,
i have the same problem on my redmi note 3 (mtk) for months, its really annoying.
when im having a call, my mic suddenly switches and my call partner can only hear me very very silent.
also i had some situations, that my call partner can not hear me at all. herefore a reboot worked fine...
as mentioned above, the problem are the 2 different mics on the redmi note3.
one is at the bottom which should be used for calls (lets call this MIC1), the other one is on the top next to the head jack plug (MIC2)
sometimes the MIC1 switches and so the call partner only can hear you via the top MIC2 - thats why your voice is very very silent then.
on the other hand when you record a video, the voice is switched to the top MIC2 and might stay there also after the video as standard - thats why no one can hear you in calls then, or only hears you very very silent.
solution: close the hole for the upper MIC2 with a tape, then it won't switch during calls!
disadvantage:
- you can't put a call on speaker, because system switches to MIC2 which isnt working.
- you can't use google now for music detection, because system switches to MIC2 which isnt working.
- you might have sound issues when recording a video in landscape (i tested it, had no problems and could hear the sound when watching the recorded landscape video)
here is a link about the recording videos in landscape vs portrait:

and here a video with the tape solution:

are there any software solutions to disable the second mic??
How to solve Redmi note 3 mic Problem:
Step 1: Go to Google settings (Not phone setting)
Step 2: Tap on Search & Now
Step 3: Tap on voice . After that tap on “Ok Google” detection
Step 4: off the “Ok Google” detection .
Congratulation. Your Redmi note 3 mic Problem is solved. Its happening because of “Ok Google” service. Now your friends can easily listen to you without any disturbance.
This is a serious problem and just insane that is has not been fixed. I have the Redmi Note 3 Pro and Calls and talking is fine
Now recording anything at High Levels it sounds like a wave effect, both mics are on even if the top is covered same issue.
Its as if there is a threshold somewhere on the noise cancellation that after a certain decibel it tries to correct and auto compress and fails Large.
This must be software as it is leaving both mics on instead of having an option to turn one or the other or BOTH off and or on.
Using an acoustic guitar is pointless, I purchased this phone for the price/performance ratio and thought the audio would not be an issue while recording, it is now useless as it was used to get music ideas down for songs, record band in practice for ideas and live situations it is absolutely impossible and upsetting this simple feature has not been fixed. Back to rotary phones and 4 tracks I suppose.
So far 2 out of 3 Redmi note 3 SD i puchased for my self and friends have this problem of mic not working in calls. On speaker phone it is OK. Tried all the "fixes" I have found on various sites but none have worked. Have not tried one of the fixes as it requires installing TWRP and rootingand the owners are not happy for me to do this for them. Rebooting sometimes fixes one off them briefly but just fails again after 1 call . On the MIUI forum there are countless people with this problem on both chipsets with no fix
i have buy redmi note 3 on a month ago, now i have updated MIUI 8 and i face mic issue(other person can't hear me), done every thing but not able to resolve this issue, pls someone give permanent solution on this.
Interested to know if anyone has a solution for this. I have moved to CM14.1 to try and fix it but am still having this issue.
using the phone with closed MIC2 hole like described above
This solution works for me for Nougat:
Use a root explorer like ES Explorer to edit /system/build.prop
Find the line :
ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluence
Change to:
ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=none
Solution
NO ROOT REQUIRED. Simple Solution.
With me it worked using the soundabout app, just set up "phone call audio" by selecting wired headset (with mic) option.
Once done you can uninstall the app if you want. Cheers!
Hello all, so, the solution for the recording sound problem is the use of soundabout? in my redmi 3s I applied the fix.zip and it is solved, but in the RN3? just using this app?
Thanks!

Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 Bluetooth headset has no sound during calls

I can listen to music or videos with Bluetooth headset but if I place a call there is no sound during the entire call.
I’ve tried many different ROMs. There are some 4.4.4 that doesn’t work but most do. Anything higher and up to 7.1.2 does not work. Tried with 3 different headsets. Have searched but find either no answers, sound quality issues, or problems with car stereos. I have heard there are Bluetooth problems in general but doesn’t seem to be much talk about no sound in calls with Bluetooth headsets. I have heard there are Bluetooth issues with Lineage OS but I have not heard about no sound during Bluetooth calls.
I’m I missing something obvious? I was thinking about asking about this in some ROM threads but thought I would try here. as it happens on almost all ROMS. I’ve tried a bunch of random things short of throwing it against the wall which I guess would make the problem go away but technically not fix it. So if anyone can offer suggestions and make me look like an idiot, please do.
Have you made sure that both options in Bluetooth settings for audio and voice are checked?. You might need to look for an advanced option menu?..

Earpiece issue

When I make a phone call the audio comes out of the loudspeaker instead of the earpiece, I then have to switch to speaker mode on the call to effectively make phone calls.
The earpiece speaker DOES work I have tested it with a speaker cleaning app and it does make sound.
This is clearly a software problem pertaining to the phone app.
I have tried clearing cache and data on several phone related apps to no avail.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Redmi Note 9s earpiece issue [FIXED]
Hello everyone, I unlocked my phone's bootloader and flashed Pixel Experience ROM. Everything works fine except earpiece when I'm calling someone. I tested the earpiece with some apps from playstore and realized that the volume is very very low...
