Squeaky voice using Skype and Hangouts - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

While in a call on Skype or Hangouts my voice sounds very high pitched and sped up. Wifi calling and normal calls i sound fine. I've tried other kernels with no luck.

Turn off the "OK Google" Detection 'From any screen' which you'll find under settings in Google's 'Voice Search' app.
You may have to reboot.

how random is this!!!! I just tried searching this issue so many ways and tumbled upon this. i NEVER would have figured this out.

Voice Search audio problem

I had this happen a few times, so I spent some time trying to figure out how to repeatedly reproduce it. It wasn't too hard.
1) Turn on a youtube video (I think that anything that used the phone's loud speaker would work).
2) Turn your media volume up to max.
3) Hold down the search button to bring up Voice Search.
I suddenly hear static and garbled audio.
4) Cancel (because I only accidentally pressed that button in the first place)
and the static and garbled audio stays around.
After that, I can go to most any audio app (visual voicemail, music beta, pandora, etc) or just get a notification sound from my phone and it will be complete static and garbage.
The first time I fixed it by playing a voicemail via visual voicemail through the normal speaker and then changing it to the loud speaker. That doesn't work every time though. I'm guessing that a reboot would also fix this.
I tried to reproduce this on my other TMO SGS2 both with the Voice Search shipped with the phone and the update from the market. On the one phone it happens with both versions and on the other, it never happens. I'm not sure that this is a hardware issue but I don't have a good explanation either way.
I've tried this a few more times today with a number of different apps and Voice Search and it hasn't reproduced itself. Most apps, like Google Music and Pandora, stop audio output when Voice Search is activated. Only YouTube seems to just ignore the Voice Search and keep going.
Edit: I exchanged my phone and this doesn't happen on the new one. Seems like a bad hardware issue.

[Q] Mic Problems

I seem to be having mic problems on my Galaxy Nexus (GSM). The phone works fine, but sometimes the mic for voice notes, voice search, GrooveIP, Skype calls etc stops working.
Rebooting fixes the problem.
I do use a Bluetooth Handsfree Speakerphone for my car, so it is
possible the mic does not switch back when BT gets disconnected.
Anyone else seeing this? I am on stock everything.

Same here.
Really? No answers. No one else hade this issue?
I have it and it is bothering me. Google Voice Search, Skype, Voice recorder applications. None of them work. I get noice, but no voice.
I am thinking of returning the handset and demanding a new one. I am (still) on stock.

SIP Client for CM10.1

I am trying to find a SIP client that works on CM10.1 over wifi. I have tried the following:
CSipSimple(latest trunk): whenever I try to make a call it unregisters an re-registers so nothing happens. When I try to receive a call it unregisters and re-registers.
SIPDroid: Try to make an outgoing call and for some reason it goes to the lockscreen while making the call. If the other end picks up I hear nothing and I have to force stop the app to end the call. With an incoming call the same thing happens. Locks the screen, I try to answer and it's dead air on both ends and the only way to end the call is to force stop.
Zoiper: It registers but there is no audio either way on incoming calls. On outgoing calls I can hear the other party but they can't hear me. I have the codecs set correctly.
Has anyone gotten SIP/VOIP to work on this phone with CM10.1?

I have gotten it to work and use it pretty extensively. I use csipsimple with pbxes.org but I don't use their gateway because I have had the problems you have described with them. Instead I use simontelephonics gateway with pbxes.org. My sets up is kinda complicated though because I have two lines and two gateways that I'm useing

What ROM are you using? I'm using the CM 10.1 nightly from a few days ago. I've tried PBXes.org and I get the same issue. When I try to make an outgoing call it unregisters and then registers again a few seconds later but the call is never made.

I do a lot of VOIP work and it almost sounds like you don't have the ports open to your phone box. If you're on asterisk TCP/UDP 5060-5080 and UDP 10001-20000 to get audio to work. Just a stab into the dark.
Just found one that works with CM10.1 (I'm on 06/02/2013nightly), MizuDroid. Works great so far and has tons of options!

As you might already know, you have to change some Sound settings first, especially if you want calls through the ear piece. I believe this is why the built-in SIP client in CM10.1 doesn't work, it's using the wrong audio inputs/outputs.
The Audio recorder should be set to use the mic, not default or auto guess (Voice call, Voice downlink, Voice uplink, Voice communication don't work either). The Audio player to use System sounds (only option that routes the call through the ear piece). Speakerphone player is set to Music playback, and Speakerphone output to Speaker Forced, although Speaker works also.
Groove IP works.
Csipsimple doesnt.

I got csipsimple to work by changing the following option:
Settings (Expert) > Media > Audio Troubleshooting > Audio Implementation > change from OpenSL-ES to Java
Apparently CM10's OpenSL-ES doesn't work.

[Q] Google Voice calling blanks the screen

Hi everyone.
When I try to make a call using Google Voice, the screen blanks for the duration of the call. That means I can't use the keypad or enable the speaker.
As soon as the call is over I have control back.
This problem does not happen when making a call without Google Voice.
I've searched elsewhere on the forums and haven't found it mentioned quite this way.
Any suggestions?

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?
