mic suddenly stopped working - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have had my phone rooted for a long time and been using Omni custom rom for a long time. Suddenly, today my mic stopped working and people on the other end cannot hear me, just static.
What could the cause be? software? I hope it's not hardware.

Microphone issues

I've been having microphone issues ever since I got my samsung gs3 a few weeks ago. People tell me that my phone sounds like it's on mute or that suddenly I'm faded away because people will say "hello? Are you still there?" Meanwhile I can still hear them fine. It happens on almost every phone call. However, when I use the speaker or my bluetooth headset then it works fine without problems. My phone is not on mute and I have turned of noise reduction and the option to mute phone when turning phone upside down.
Is this a known or common issue or does my phone need to be replaced through samsung warranty? I searched this forum and several other sites, but it doesn't seem like there is a fix.
Thanks.

4.4.2 MIC not working..

I just update and wipe to 4.4.2 and the mic is not working on my phone....
I am having the same issue. The mic was completely functional before the update, and now it barely works and only when there are really loud noises on speaker phone. I went to get some help for this, and I was told that "this isn't something that would be caused by the update" and that I should do a factory reset. I have yet to do this, I am having issues doing a backup.
I faced intermittent mic issue since 4.3.
I've been on 4.4.2 since last week but today is the first time I try the MIC. It doesn't work at all, it was working fine before the update... And doing a factory reset doesn't change anything.
I have the same issue since updating to 4.4.3.
Unless I talk really loud, the person on the other side on the phone has trouble hearing me...
I had the same issue, I had to send my phone back to where I bought it and they repaired it for free.
They had to change some parts to make it work so it looks like it was hardware related.
I got my phone back after around 4 days, now my Microphone works perfectly fine again.

[Q] No audio in phone but Skype/Viber OK?

I've got a head scratcher that I can't fix. I can't hear anything in calls and the other end can't hear me. My speaker and mic work perfectly in all other applications - I can record video and hear the audio in that, I can make and receive calls in Skype and Viber and the speaker and mic work flawlessly in both but the standard phone just doesn't work. I hear the rising been after dialling and then nothing - I can't hear it ringing and can't hear anything once it is answere and the other end don't hear me.
Phone was totally stock (not even rooted) when this first happened and I figured I'd fix it through a new rom so I rooted and first one I tried was an old familiar ARHD (I'd used the equivalent on my last phone) and it was odd as I think that seemed to fix it for the first test call and then stopped again. This seemed to be an oddity as no other rom I've tried even worked once.
I figured something Samsung was still updating after the install and causing the problem so next I tried Cyanogen 11 - didn't work even once. Tried Cyanogen 10.1.3, same thing. Just tried the AOSB rom and still the same thing...
Really not sure what to do now - any ideas?
Thanks,
DF
Hi,
Custom ROMs can be difficult and might be a source of the issue itself. Since your issue was present before installing the custom ROM, we might be able to assist. Please open a support ticket at this link: http://bit.ly/1aOwGy2 and a support agent will be in touch.

Hi,
Thanks for the offer of help but Viber actually works perfectly - it's just the built in phone that stopped working. Unfortunately GiffGaff don't seem to support Viber In for all calls otherwise I would just enable that and not worry about the normal phone not working...
Thanks,

[Q] Call and reception issue

Hello!
I have an unusual problem with my Note 2
Few days ago I tried to make a call but I couldn't - I heard the Note's sound that the call started but I heard no ringing. When a person picks up, I don't hear them and they don't hear me. When I hang up and redial, phone loses reception completely.
I thought that it is maybe an issue with mic and speaker, however Viber calls work fine. It is not an issue with SIM, it works fine in other phones.
I am running completely unrooted, never touched stock ROM.
I tried a factory reset and it didn't help.
Could anyone help me what this is and how can I fix it? Thanks!

Lost call audio after enabling call recording in g3tweaksbox

Hey guys, I'll try to be as specific as possible. It's been a little over a year since I've had this phone and this happened within maybe a month of me getting it. I've looked online but haven't had any luck other than one dead XDA post from last year.
When I got my G3 from Tmo i rooted it and installed xposed and then G3 Tweaksbox so I could enable call recording. After installing it something happened (most likely installed a rom since I was still on the stock at the time) and the call audio became erratic. Since then I've had intermittent call audio from the ear piece, bluetooth calling still works, audio with a plugged in headset still works, speakerphone still works, just nothing from the ear piece. I figured out that if I pulled up Skype and placed a call to the test line, and jacked up the audio while the call was taking place the ear piece would magically start spitting out audio, and it would continue working until I rebooted my phone, then it would stop and I'd have to do the skype nonsense all over again. Since then I've had many, many.......many full wipes, kernel changes and various roms installed. For the longest time i was using Blisspop but as of a month ago with one of the updates the call audio just stopped working completely. Now I'm using SlimLP and am still having no luck. I have no idea what's wrong and am all out of ideas.
