Microphone Issues with CM10 based Roms - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hello Everyone,
I am having microphone issues with CM10 based Roms. Whenever I try to use a voice recorder app, even though what I am trying to record is sufficiently loud, the phone hardly picks it up. The same thing occurs when I try to use voice search. It seems like the phone is using the microphone as if I were on a normal voice call and not on speakerphone. Is there some type of fix for this? I did some research and searching, but I haven't found anything.
Thanks

Speaker goes to call speaker after single microphone use [HELP PLEASE]

So I've been browsing the forums trying to look for anyone with a similar issue but to no avail. Now I'm not sure if this issue pertains to CM9 but I've noticed that ever since I've flashed RC1 or a later nightly, every app that uses the microphone reverts the phone speaker to call speaker. This is highly irritating as I have to put my ear to the phone every time I want to hear say, music, notifications etc. I usually reset this by plugging in a pair of headphones and then taking it back out, however the problem still persists every time I use the mic. This does not happen during calls so that's fine.
I am quite certain that this isn't hardware related because it only happens after using the microphone through some app and resets itself using the headphone workaround or a reboot. Again, I don't know if this is a singled out issue or if it pertains to the phone or the latest CM9 ROM.
Any help would be appreciated.
So after updating to RC2 and then again to the latest Nightly (20120802) I still have no luck with my loud speaker and my call speaker. To test this I usually use the Tune Me app and mess around with it and record some things but after using the app, instead of playing through the loud speaker like its supposed to, it plays audio through the call speaker.
Also, when I previewed CM10 and was playing around with Google Now with voice the same thing occurred. I don't know if there's a conflicting issue with some apps I've installed or something that installing the ROM did but any form of support would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Is there any kikkat rom available for lg-g-pro without "speaker issue" ?
Let me explain: when i make a call and bring the phone to my ear the speaker mutes. Also there are some posts with the same issue in Viber.

that's odd because skype runs with no problems, but i'm getting speaker/mic problems with regular calls when headphones plugged in, and with CSipSimple app.
Thanks for help anyway.

I'm still fighting the in call low-volume mic problem as well. Apparently is not uncommon among other cm11 builds. I have yet to find a rom where its working properly. I tried downloading a few sound recorder apps and they record mic volume just fine - so it appears to be constrained to in call usage.
I also tried modifying an xml doc at the system level, as some had success on the nexus 4 with the same issue, but no luck for me.

[ISSUE] Mic not working, really need a help

Hi guys, I have some curious problem with my Xperia Play. The mic doesn't working with Whatsapp, Shazam and Voice Recorder, but works nicely with calls, voice search, voice texting and film recorder. The sounds are gotten very nice on film recording, in calls, the other person can hear me nice too, and the voice recognition in voice search and voice texting are ok, but, when I record a voice message in Whatsapp, it sounds mute, like I haven't spoken, it sends the audio, but it's mute. Shazam aren't recognizing any music, it even doesn't move the bars and circles according to music beats, it's like no music is playing or the mic level is very low, and the Voice Recorder is the same problem as Whatsapp...
I have searched many threads and forums but doesn't found any help, could this be a kernel problem? Because yesterday I flashed another rom, and the problem still there.

So, what is the rom you're using actually? Is Whatsapp voice message working correctly?

yes it is.. in some ROM it didn't use to.. but I am currently Using CM7.2 which most of us didn't use much.. and I have debloated it a lot.. whatsapp. and all other programs open soooo quick in it.. its a small ROM ! with all the latest feature like MIUI I believe so.. its available here..
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=zeus
download cm7.2 and delete Boot Animation.. Use the KErnel given in the ROM .. its good enough.. Load the ROM and download Mini Gapps for cm7 and install that.. Debloat as required.. and ur good to go !

hangouts dialer problems mic not working end call speaker not working

hangouts dialer problems mic not working end call speaker not working
Hi,
I have a couple android phones and hangouts dialer works just fine on my rooted htc evo 3d. The galaxy s3 sprint phone has problems with hangouts dialer that maybe some one can help me with.
The microphone is not working again. Last time I did an update it stopped working so I uninstalled and reinstalled and it started working again. Today it will not work again and I tried reinstalling the app but it did not work.
The speakerphone and end call button will not work on the galaxy s3 sprint phone. when I select these items it takes me back to the main dialer page showing an ongoing call. I can not hang up and I have to shutdown the phone to end call. If I have bluetooth connected these end call and speakerphone buttons will work though.
Does anyone know what the problem is with the galaxy s3 on hangouts dialer? Maybe I should just stick to HTC phones for now on?
Same problem here. Only fix so far is using a Touchwiz ROM. Lame. Hopefully someone fixes this. Stay vocal and talk to the devs. Ive been trying to sort this out all month. No one is of much help, honestly.
STAY VOCAL.

on the latest CM11 and 12.1 (unsupported) I found that it activates the microphone on the TOP of the phone, rather than at the bottom. Not sure how to swap it around. Had to go back to stock

Hangouts Dialer issues

Since I ported my number into Google Voice, I have been using Hangouts Dialer as my go-to voice service on my S3. My calls will usually connect after a 3-5 second pause. I can then hear the other person crystal clear, but they can only hear my voice garbled and extremely low volume. It doesn't matter if I'm on WiFi or mobile data. It doesn't matter if I make the call or receive the call. I am currently using PAC-man ROM 4.4.4.RC-3. Does anyone else have this issue or know how to solve it? Is there anyone who has been using Hangouts Dialer regularly that does not have this issue that can maybe help? Thank you!
OK, so after further testing I have discovered that Hangouts is using the wrong microphone for audio. It seems to be using the speakerphone microphone (at the top of the phone) instead of the handset microphone at the bottom. Is there any way to switch the microphone that is being used for just this application?
