rooted?
which ROM installed?
if your device is rooted, then use a modified mixer_paths.xml (makes my Z1c very loud and clear...)

[Q] HELP~!!! Huawei P6-C00 No Sound

My phone is Huawei P6-C00, CDMA2000/GSM Dual SIM
No Ringtone, No Media Sound, No Notification Tone, No Sound when playing Music, Video. Although all ringtone, notification sounds are selected and all volumes are set to the highest, No sound came. Video plays with no sound. Music plays with no sound. No sound from speaker, no sound with headphones, no sound with bluetooth.
Phone call works fine. I can hear and talk during the call. The earpiece speaker works fine. The loud speaker works fine during the call. The headphones work fine during the call.
I've sent my phone to the local service center of which I bought my phone here in Yangon, Myanmar. They have no idea what's causing it. Have factory reset the phone. Tried Installing other ROMs. Restored Original ROM from backup. Upgrade it to 4.4 from 4.2. Doesn't solve.
I think it happens after reading a PDF from a memory stick with USB OTG cable. I unmounted safely from setting->storage. After that no sound comes. Before I send to the service center, I move all my data from the phone internal storage to the computer with the USB Cable and the sound comes back for 1 day and went off again. Till then I have been having problems with sound. No sound when phone call rings. No sound when playing music and videos.
It really annoying. I've spent quite an amount of money buying this phone but it's been only 5 months and now causing me a headache. Please suggest what's causing it....
Thanks,

Hi.
Have you veen able to fix the sound-problem with speaker etc.? I'v about same problem so i like to hear a solution.
See my message: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p6/help/speaker-ascend-mate-mt1-u06-sound-t2972360
im late
i dont now what wxactly your problem is , but what i have read about the sound problems , all sound files refer to a file in your system folder : system/etc/audio/codec , that all sounds are in codec folder , maybe you should have the official form of this folder from someone els and replace it with yours by root explorer in r/w mode. im not shure about this method , but it was what i think , i know your post is for about one year ago but i wanted to reply , because i hate no answer and unfinished threads :/

How to increase microphone gain - LG_G4_H815 ?

Hello ,
I wanted to ask if anyone knows how I can increase the microphone gain/sensitivity on my G4 .
For example, when I want to send a voice message in the WhatsApp ,I heard really weak , as if that low gain or something like that .
I also Must say that I don't feel any problem while calls .
I used LG G2 before and I heard stronger by far , also to compare , while sending voice message in the WhatsApp .
My previous LG G2 was rooted and I used Dorimanx kernel and I must say it was great ! I had a option to change the mic gain and many other.
I don't want to root my new G4 , any option to change the gain ? maybe in the engineering mode ?
Thank for everyone .
I must say that I feel the microphone problem only in the WhatsApp voice message !
Up

It seems that the Auto Gain Control of the device.
I will explain,
I downloaded another recording application called Smart Voice Recorder and in the settings when the microphone gain option was on Auto - Device auto gain control - I heard very weak barely spectrum of the sound moves while I was speaking.
Only when I set the GAIN manually more than 1 ,I begin to hear myself normally .
How can I change the auto gain of the device microphone that set ?
Since a week ago I had the LG G2 ROOTED , I used DORINMAX KERNEL and it was excellent ! there was a option to change the microphone gain and another options .
There is a possibility to do so without making ROOT?
Thanks .

I don't think you can make it without root
I am having the same issue with my LG G4 H815. My microphone picks up sounds very poorly, and everyone complains that they cant hear me during calls, and when i use the sound recorder I can barely hear myself speak afterwards.
If i use the camera app and make a video, then the sound is very loud and crisp.
A friend of mine has the exact same phone and when we exchange sound recordings on the facebook messenger app his ones are way louder than mine. I tried this "Smart Voice Recorder" app, and it fixes it, but only within the app.
What good is a phone if I can't make normal phone calls... I'll probably be returning mine after the holidays, such a shame.
Go into the dialer under settings and turn off the noise cancellation. I think when your mouth goes just a little too far from the mic, it cancels you out. Since turning that off, no one has complained on calls. Give it a shot.
The problem is absolutely not with the calls ,it is about the mic when using for record like WhatsApp
People can not hear me in WhatsApp and Skype Plz help ...
Up
Someone ?
Has anyone found a solution to this request?? Even if the phone is rooted, I really would like to increase the mic gain in-call. A lot people complaining that they can't hear me properly
Having the same issues in Whatsapp, if i record a under "Voice Recorder" app is normal.
Any solutions?

Microphone problem when I use speaker phone - S9

Hello,
The microphone doens't work on my S9 when I use the speaker phone. The people do not hear me. I have no problem in normal call mode.
I tested to call in "safe mode" but the problem always appears.
Thank you for your help!
No idea?
Same problem here (replace xx by tt) : hxxps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/GalaxyS/thread-id/51619/page/12
Thank you!
Up
m also having the same problem, but also While video recording
Same problem here. Only when HD calling is enabled. If you disable HD calling, the problem should go away. I'm hoping the first software update fixes it. Just to be clear the problem is that the other person cannot hear you when on speakerphone. You should be able to hear them clearly and have no idea there is a problem unless they tell you that you sound muffled or like you are underwater. Turn off HD calling on Verizon and it goes away.
Thank you for your solution. I disabled the HD calling ("4G calling" in French) and the voice can be heard now. But the quality is very very bad! It is scandalous for a phone of this price!
Is there an other solution to improve the microphone quality during a call with speakerphone?
Thank you!
HD Calling?
I have the same issue, but have no idea how to disable HD Calling ( I'm on Sprint BTW). These minor issues are ticking me off; I've already had for factory reset once due to Camera settings crashing the app.. . now this nonsense. Phone isn't even 14 days out of the box, and its DEFINITELY not an "third party-app" issue. Bad time to switch from iPhone, huh? This is unacceptable for a $300 phone, nonetheless a $1K phone.
Hello, I have the same issue, on VoIP apps like WhatsApp as well. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...rphone-loudness-clarity-t3746298#post78757253
Does anyone experience the same problem on custom ROM?

Same problem here, first on Note7, now on Note9. Disabling HD calling did not fix it for me.
any solution for it ? please post solution
I've discovered the issue is that the phone attempts to mute your microphone while the speaker is playing sounds. (If you're on the phone with someone they have background noise or are talking) and your phone's microphone attempts to lower the sensitivity so that the person whom you are speaking with doesn't hear an echo of themselves on their end. If they aren't making a sound then you can be heard normally. This is the downfall of my S9+ because the speaker and microphone are right beside each other.

LG G7 ThinQ microphone on calls problem!!!

I am having issue with my LG G7 ThinQ, whenever I made or received a phone calls the person who is talking to me is hardly hears my voice but if I change it to loudspeaker the voice is very clear and when I'm calling using the whatsapp calls there would be no problem with my voice at all wheter I am using the loudspeaker or not. I wondering there must be a problem with the software or hardware? Does anybody can help me with this problem?
Happened the same to me. I contacted LG customer service and they changed the microphone with no charge because the device was in warranty.
I also had this problem, others complaining that can not hear me good. For me the fix was disabling in call settings the noise suppression and voi e clarity. ?

Does this fixed the issue?
Yes it did.
I'm facing similar issue. How can I disable noise suppression and voice clarity? Couldn't find it in the settings. I'm using Verizon device with the latest updates.
I thought that my upper mic is dead at first. But then I tested video recording and both mics are working fine. So it seems like it's a software issue?

Call dialer, then tap on 3 dots, call settings, sound, noise surpression off. Leave voice clarity on.

You just saved me £200. I just bought this phone new from a mate and I thought he f*cked me over and was about to throw it and buy a new phone, because I had tried everything from new ROMs for different regions to screaming at it.
Did what you said, and now people can hear me properly.
Noise suppression on this phone is taking its job too seriously.
I bought 2x of these phones with a tmobile deal. They both suffer the same fate. You have to hold the phone at a perfect angle to your mouth to get it to pick you up. I assume its made this way to eliminate any background noise. I didn't know of the suppression and clarity settings and now that I tested them, I can hold the phone upside down on my ear and the other party can hear me.
It was probably a good idea on paper for this design/feature but it was very frustrating having to correct the angle of my phone to get my voice to work properly.

Volume reduces significantly if video calls interrupted by cell phone calls

Hi Guys,
I have a peculiar problem. I run Android version 10 on One Plus 7T Version 10.3.2.HD65AA, Model HD1901
I do a lot of video calls on my job . When I am on a video call on a loud speaker and it is interrupted by cell phone call, even if i accept or reject the cell phone call, my loudspeaker volume significantly reduces to be inaudible levels .The volume is maximum , but its inaudible. I have to disconnect the video call and restart the phone to be able to converse on loud speaker. This is very irritating and affecting my job. I have tried to search a lot and have not found any effective answer . This happens even with headphones .
I notice this typically on whatsapp video call and browser based video calls like doxy.me. With zoom and google meet, i am logged out if i accept the cell phone call, so i have to rejoin the meetings and the sound level is audible.
I would really appreciate any piece of advice on solving this issue as its interfering with my job, besides being a nuisance.
PS : I have had to factory reset my phone twice recently for other reasons as below and it still has not solved this issue .
1. I had missing icons in my top shelf in contact app ( plus sign , delete button , hamburger bottom) and file app (hamburger sign , find button and delete bin) after one particular update
2. Had notification problems which again needed factory reset
Thank you all in advance

I did update to open beta 3. Unfortunately that has not helped.. The volume still went down when the phone call came.

BUG: Phone speakers won't work after video calling
Device: Oneplus 7T on 10.0.9HD65AA
How to reproduce:
1. Video call using facebook messenger or similar app
2. Play music or video thru speakers, they won't work
3. Restart phone, speaker will work again
*note: there is a faint sound coming from the earpiece, like when you're calling someone
Already reported this to OnePlus. Very frustrating bug.

My problem could be this bug that u reported. Did they reply back to you?
I just had this happen when using MS Teams on a conference call. I had speakerphone enabled, and a call came in. I declined the call, but the Teams call switched to the earpiece (which was of lower volume). To fix, I just switched from Speaker, to Device and then back to Speaker. This happens on AOSP (on my OnePlus 5T) as well.
I don't think it's an Oxygen problem, but it's something that can likely be fixed if they know about it.

After installing AOSP on the 7T, this continues to happen with Microsoft Teams meetings when I have speaker enabled, receive a phone call and decline it, and it switches automatically to earpiece.
The solution of switching to earpiece in Teams and then back to speaker fixes it. All without disconnecting from the meeting.

So this did work for me. Today when the volume reduced after a phone call during my zoom meeting, I plugged in my ear phones and then removed them after 2 min, the volume was back to full and audible.
Thanks a lot for this tip. It's a life saver for me. Really appreciate it.

You're welcome. It's more of a workaround because it seems audio routing is just wonky in Android. I'm not sure if iOS does this but I can test that later with wife's phone.

Yep! Same here, MS Teams meeting, BT headset, dropped incoming call to voicemail and meeting volume became inaudible, so I had to drop and reconnect. Very inconvenient, especially because I was the meeting's host. I will try to switch audio device in Teams next time, kudos for that!
