Main Mic broken, use secondary as main - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
my main microphone is broken as you can hear. https: // www .youtube.com/watch?v=PdHVG1K4_bQ&feature=youtu.be (sorry for the spaces, had to do this)
Any idea if its repairable? One can hear a slight noise if you listen very closely.
Since I'm out of warranty I wanted to ask if there is any way to use the second mic as the main microphone.
I have a rooted Stock-Rom 14.6.A.1.216
Thanks in advance , hope there is way to fix this issue, because replacing the mic seems impossible since it's onboard.

Headphone and Speaker work simultaneously

Dear experts,
Sorry if this question was answered before, but I've been searching through the threads and couldn't find one..
I have a WM5 Orange Artemis (SPV M650) and I'm facing the following issue: when I play music with WMPlayer I get sound both through the phone speaker and the usb headphones. This is the same case with a friend of mine having the same device.
Probably there is some sort of a software solution to this problem, since with the already-installed FM radio application there is a button you can use to activate the speaker or to redirect sound through the headphones only.
Now I'm not able to use my phone as a music player due to this problem so any help will be much appreciated. Thank you!

Had this problem before, open up the volume slider part of the earphones with a small screwdriver (push on the plastic tabs that hold the 2 sides together) and separate the wires going into and out of it, I found some were crossing and moving them apart sorted it fine!
Hope this helps...
Thanks for yr reply Pjtheman, I will try this, though I will keep wondering if it were a matter of crossed wiring, why it works fine with the radio application!!
I'll open the headphones slider and see what I can find..
yours, Ksu
I've just opened the headphones slider and found that all the wires were duly isolated from each other..
Perhaps a solution to this problem is to install advanced volume controls that can mute and control the volume of the earphones and the speaker independantly. Does such application exist??
Thanks for yr help.

Earpiece working, but main speaker not functional

Hi,
Hope you experts can help. I am having some problems with the XDA main speakers after it got submerged in water. Earpiece seems ok. But main speaker is not working.
This is my preliminary analysis. I know that there are 3 chipsets which control audio, MAX4410EBE-T, UDA1380HN, and 2 Opamps (LMV981MG). Does anyone have the block diagram or schematics to share ? Any idea how everything connects up ? I'm trying to debug the problem but it's futile without any schematics.
Am i missing anything here ? I somehow don't think that it is the AC97 Codec since I'm still able to hear sound when the headphones are connected.
Any help pointing me to the right direction would be appreciated.

Fixed WiFi - Broke Mic :'(

Because of horror stories in the UK about HTC warranty response I decided to attempt to fix the WiFi issues myself. I did it and the signal is now infinitely better. But... in the process I somehow managed to break the MIC.
Here are some details:
MIC not working through handset when making phone call.
MIC is working when recording video (different MIC?)
Audio test using test code *#*#3424#*#* shows MIC is NOT working
Other forms of MIC input, e.g. BlueTooth are OK
This makes me believe that in the process of fixing the WiFi, either through heavy handedness in case removal or some accidental misake when phone was open, I have invoked a hardware fault.
Dos anybody have any ideas on how to resolve? What visible circuits (when open) affect the MIC for calls?
Any help welcome. I don't really want to write off the investment in this phone. :crying:
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Help Please - Using other MIC for phone calls

This is a self inflicted problem. :crying:. When I took apart my OneX to do the WiFi fix, I must have damaged the connection to the main MIC used for phone calls. Now my WiFi works brilliantly, but no-one can hear me on calls.
Just to be clear:
A wired headset with MIC works OK.
A Bluetooth headset or car kit works OK
Recording video still records audio OK. Assuming this is because it uses another MIC in the handset.
Unless someone has an idea how this can be resolved in a different way, the sort of thing I would be looking for is a utility to switch the MIC to the one used for recording video. Then I could use it with different ROMs too.
Any help or thoughts? Please?
PS: I have reviewed all the threads about tools and mods for something like this, but can't find anything. Was hoping the audio mod tools might do this but looking in detail, they tend to only improve what you hear, not what is recorded.

A shot in the dark (Mic issue)

I'm no where near qualified to place input on ROM development but I did have a random thought.
Is it possible that the Mic issue with most KitKat ROMs, could be caused/fixed/related with the headset jack?
I remember hearing somewhere that random occurrences of mics not working when a headset that wasn't made for your device was used and taken out, that it may cause the device to not recognize the removal and therefore not switch back to the mic.
Like I said, im sure it's not that simple, but hey, it's a shot in the dark.
