Low Earpiece Mic Volume on CM10.1 - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey guys! Every time I skype, the mic on my earphone always seems to receive what I say to be really low. This only happens on builds after 20121223 nightly. Can anyone help me find what is wrong so I can use the latest nightlies?

I believe it's a bug ATM.

Ah..so it's not just me who is having this problem?

Sorry for the double post but is it possible to fix this problem if we see what has changed from build 20121223 and the latest build?

i dont remember the 12/23 build but im pretty sure this bug has been around since i switched to 10.1. im no dev but i think its a driver issue. i wish it was that easy to fix, other than that issue the rom is great.

Ah okay..that's unfortunate. Thank you for your help.

I have not been experiencing this low mic volume. I do have low speaker volume when in a phone call though. I had not experienced this on the 12/28 build and I am currently on the 13/04 build and still have not found it being "low"

No in call sound?

Whenever someone calls me, or I make a call, I can't hear anything. The people on the other end of the call can hear me. Speaker phone works. Im using the newest radio 4.49.25.95 and NRGZ8's Sept 8 build. Hardware related? Software related? I hope you guys can give me some help.

Did you run task29 before you flashed the ROM? Have you tried to hard reset?
I just flashed NRGs latest Sept. 14, and it fixed it. Strange.

[Q] CM 6.1 RC4 Radio volume cannot be adjusted

Is anyone else having this problem? When I go into radio I can't adjust the volume at all; it basically plays at loud.. and that's it.
For me it adjusts a little bit but pretty much it's just always loud.

You're not alone; on an HTC Desire. Haven't tried the radio yet, but in-call volume is always ridiculously loud. Don't understand why; 6.0.2 was perfectly fine. Now every time I make a call I have to worry about whether my eardrum or the speaker on my phone will rupture.
WHy are you guys using RC4 and not Final?

They posted this about 10 days ago then someone revived it. So, I dunno why the guy that brought this thread back is still using RC4.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus Microphone Quiet/Muffled (Not the same as the cutting out problem!)

Hi all,
I'm using a Galaxy Nexus on Rogers in Canada.
I'm having trouble with the bottom microphone being very quiet and muffled.
Unfortunately I'm leaning towards this being a hardware issue because:
The volume is normal and clear when recording a video and when on speakerphone (which I understand uses the top microphone)
The volume is normal when using a headset
The volume is quiet and muffled when recording in "Voice Recorder" which uses the bottom microphone.
But I thought I'd check if anyone else has had this problem before and has any ideas for a solution other a full wipe (which i'll reluctantly try next) or returning the phone.
Thanks,
-Peter
i have similar problem. everything is fine on speakerphone or during video recording. but when it's a call or audio recording it's just pops, cracks, noise.
I have had this happen a few times on calls. If I reboot my phone it goes away. It hasn't happened in a month or so. I'm running AOKP build 29 at the moment.

I have been getting this problem on the last four builds of AOKP.
People always complain that they can hardly understand when I speak.

I've got exactly same problem... it's annoying, I have this phone for over 6 months and was hoping there will be a fix for it... it also seems to be only a case when talking on the phone.
when recording all seems fine... so it must be a software problem or smth... i'm looking for a solution for a long time, checked lot's of ROMS... starting to be unbearable for me and especially for ppl on the other side

Just bumping this topic.
Did any of you manage to fix this. I have replaced the entire usb/microphone assembly on the phone from a new part, and i still get muffled voice calls through the main mic. Works fine on speakerphone or secondary mic.
I have tried many stock variations, and am attempting to revert to my stock stock telstra yakjuxw build (trying to find a copy atm).
Bump the only thing I have to possibly is that it appears more frequently with HTC DNA and landlines when I call feature phones I'm OK.

I fix my problem. The hole for the microphone is very small, and In my case, it was totally "dirty". So I just cleaned it, and all works

I use toothpick, maybe this way is not very smart but... Using toothpicks I just cleaned microphone hole. In my case microphone hole was fully packed. I also find thread on reddit about this problem, one of answer is:
I believe I may have a fix for future users who search through this forum. I read that cleaning out your headphone port can resolve this issue. If there is lint or anything in there, then it tricks the phone into thinking that the aux is plugged in and your voice won't be picked up the the mic, but the non-existent headphones. Turning on speakerphone re-routes the mic from the aux to the handset mic.

Bad call sound quality?

Hey guys I'm currently running liquid smooth rc7 and the uvli radio and the people I am talking to on the phone are saying that the call quality isn't sounding very good. Can someone help me out?

Click the phone icon then menu setting and noise suppress try that I have the same problem and have not tried other radios yet but it may help. Idk if it has mine don't make many calls I'll know next time I call someone when I have to yell at them for them to hear me Lol. But try that
I had the same issue on this ROM too. In fact, all JB ROMs have this problem. I went back to ICS.

[Q] N7105 on CM11 in call volume issues

Hi
Can anyone give me any ideas on how to boost the call volume at all? I have the volume set to MAX but the sound is so quiet it's driving me nuts. It cant be me going deaf as I can still hear the wife
It used to be fine when I was on M2 of CM11 but needed to move to a newer version (now on nightly from March 14th) in order to fix a couple of other issues with GPS, camera and bluetooth.

Glad I am not the only one noticing this .. man in call volume from handset is crazy low.

Check the themes and apps section, I remember seeing a fix for the volume in there somewhere.
Hey there,
I also have the same problem since using CM11. When using the Samsung Stock Rom, the volume was much louder.
So what app should I use?
Did you guys find a solution for this problem? I have it too...
I found a workaround. Once the call starts press volume down button and then volume up. It works great. The problem is that you have to do this each and every single time...
Has this been fixed in M11?
