Problem with microphone and custom rom - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, me again...
So I stumbled upon a bug in majority of ROMS, and I wondered if this is fixed or not, because I have been trying to fix this issue for almost 2 days.
So the problem is that, on some (majority) custom ROMS, microphone is not working. When I record a sound - no reaction, and when I record video, there is only static (white) noise - and nothing else.
This is not a hardware issue, for I installed stock firmware, and it's working there. There are also some ROMS, on which the mic was working( but I forgot which one it was).
Is there anything for me to try? This problem is annyoing, because i want atleast 4.0.4 or 4.1 rom, and use my phone as camera, but it ain't working.
P.S Currently I'm on XperiaPlay Z Final Ultimate Edition and it's not working.
UPDATE: I tried different Camera APP, and it doesn't work either.
The only thing i noticed is, that when i go to the service menu, and test the First MIC - it works. When I test the Second Mic(Back Mic) it doesn't work, and makes the static noise.
So I guess there's a problem with the back mic drivers or something ?
UPDATE2 : So, yesterday I tried bunch of roms and even tried CM 13.0 - The sound was recording in camera (despite that I had to install open camera to even get to the camera because of FC). Then I tried one of the 4pda forum ROMS - 4PDA-XPlay-Gamer-Ultra (though it is ICS) and the microphone works fine. What could be the cause ?

Control volume of the Mic

Where can you control the volume of the mic on the TP2 ?
My phone is completely mute (I can hear people but they don't hear me)and though I suspect a Hardware defect (I flashed 2 ROMs and have the same problem) but I would like to play with the microphone settings just in case...
I know when I ran across that problem on the Kaiser ROMs I flashed, it was usually due to an incompatible radio. Try a different radio than the one you're using. It took me several times to find a good radio for a couple of the more Popular ROMs.
One thing I've noticed is ROM flashes can be a real trial and error process to get a good mix of speed, functionality and battery life between the ROM and Radio.
Just my $.02 on the subject...
mmh maybe... But I didnt flash anyhting new, the issue on the Mic happened overnight on a ROM I have had for already quite a while
Anyway: anybody can explain me where I can control the microphone sound level ?
I tried flashing a new Radio. The sound worked once for one call
And then doing a second call --> not working anymore
Seems that if I take off my SIM card and put it back it also works for one call and then fails again. That is very weird. Could be a hardware issue but I ma surprised it works at least once
I flashed different ROMs and radios and still have the issue (Anyway the problem occured while I had been on the same ROM for already a while so I would have been surprised if it came from it)
I start to be tired with HTC's quality... It's not the first time an HTC dies on me (That said it's probably the smae with otehr phoen makers, many of my friends had to ahve their iPhone replaced)
Aaahh it's going to take Expansys 2 months again before I can have a phone
Anybody with similar problems ?
Must be the mic
A bluetooth headset works...

[Solved]Collecting info on bluetooth issue with cm7.2 ROM

I came upon a dealbreaker issue with bluetooth. I haven't used bluetooth since long before i rooted my desire and have had this issue since last week when i started using bluetooth again.
My headsets are two Sony Ericsson MW600 and the issue is with cm7.2 based ROMs.
I have tried with Mildwild 5.0 and Cronmod 1.05.
The issue consists of sound not being transferred to and from headset at incoming call. Ringtone plays when call comes in and phone button works on headset. Otherwise media plays satisfyingly but not flawless.
A forum search revealed one previous post with same phone, same issue, cm7.2 base and different headset. No answers to that thread, though.
I'd like to collect some experiences on the matter, to present devs with.
Thanks
Problem solved. Bt in conflict with call recording app. Changed to skvalex's call recording app and all good.
I have a similar issue with MIUI rom. how can i change / disable the recording application?
Try uninstalling or freezing it. Then make a call.
As far as i can see, there is no way to remove the recording option.
The recording is disabled (not recording) by default, and i never enabled it.
I did all my checks on clean install.
Try to find a suspicious service and stop it. Any weird thing might be what's interfering with your bt. Try altering every setting that has anything to do with calls. T n' E
I was unable to find some service responsible.
Buy chance, a friend of mine came with the same phone and asked me to root in and install the same rom i have.
in his case the headset worked with original rom and with the rom i use.
the only difference i noticed was different Radio version.
His is 5.10.05.30
and mine is 5.17.05.23
I also think that his device use OLED display and mine SLCD
So, of course you secretly switched phones with him?
Unfortunately no. So the problem is still there.

[Q] Problems with car audio and camera

Hey guys,
couldn't find an answer to these special problems, so sorry if this thread seems to be similar to others.
I installed cm9 snapshot ancora alpha 1 (at least that's the file name - I don't have much experience with mods) on my Samsung Galaxy W.
Everything works fine, except two annoying things:
1) connecting with car (bluetooth) works BUT sound is not redirected. I can't hear anything through my car audio system. Tried installing several car dock apps (Dock sound redirector, car dock...) but it still doesn't work. Also checked any settings concerning bluetooth audio.
Is there a way to fix this by changing any settings or installing a special app?
2) when I try to use my camera, there is an error message "no connection to camera", causing camera app to close. Installed camera ics - same problem.
I have to say, it never worked - even with standard OS - but before installing cm9, it was possible to open camera at least.
Same question as for the bluetooth problem: is there a way to fix this by using any app or making changes in settings?
Thanks for any help

The latest is CM9RC6. Try flashing that instead. And I highly recommend Going Pristine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044861

[Q] No Sound via Speaker, Headset, or Bluetooth

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone has a suggestion for me wrt to audio problems with my wife's Sprint Galaxy S3.
On a fully stock up to date S3, about 3 days ago all sound stopped working, this includes alarms, answer calls, key press sounds, playing music. However after a reboot, it would start working again for 6 hours or so, and then quit again. I assumed this was a software issue of some sort. I have an older rooted phone which I love and have had for years, I suggested that we finally root her S3, so she could get all those benefits plus fix whatever little software problem this was.
The rooting process when fine, and the phone now has CWM and CM 10.1.2 (Android 4.2.2). However the audio issue is still there and in fact a reboot no longer fixes the issue.
I have tried pluggin in the ear buds w/ built in mic, and those too fail to work. I also have paired various bluetooh devices like mini boom boxes etc.. they all pair fine however there is no audio output from them. No audio in the dial pad when hitting the numbers. When trying to play music the DSP Manager will crash, and then the music app crashes (tried Apollo and Google music). If I go to the sound recorder and hit record, it pops up with "Internal application error.".
So it seems all audio (speaker, mic, bluetooth, and headset) is broken which again makes me think software, but even after rooting and installing a new rom like Cyanogenmod the issue is here.
Any thoughts on what else I can try? Any firmware updates that I could apply specific to audio issues like this, or perhaps it is some sort of hardware issue that is preventing the software drivers from behaving properly?
thanks,
fishtek
I would Odin back to complete stock and see if the issue still arises. If it does then it could be hardware related.
Same problem

I have that sane issue and nothing I do seems to work.

[Q] no sound on calls: hardware or software problem

My Samsung T989, which was running Cyanogen 10.1.3, recently starting having the problem where I wasn't getting any sound from the earpiece during calls.
Speaker phone works, headphones work and the person on the other end can hear me (so microphone works). But nothing from the earpiece.
I've tried every setting but nothing. I've also tried Cyanogen 11 just to see if perhaps it was a bug that has been fixed, but still no sound, so I assume that this is a hardware problem.
Is there any way of diagnosing this better as either hardware or software? Any known fixes?
WTF is the deal with AOKP 10.1 MR2 and Sound

You are not the only one. Mine the sound other than calls is GONE! I am trying to figure this out. Tried to Flash the ROM from a clean flash with reset to factory and the works and went directly to AOKP ROM Directly with the latest Gapps. No dice. The phone ear piece works but speaker phone and any thing else via the speaker does not work any longer. I am dead in the water here and need a fully functional phone.
This is not my first rodeo. I have flashed many Andriod devices, Cliq+, Nexus S, Nook Color, Acer 500 etc... and the Galaxy S II.
Heck I am also now having issues with the CWM Recovery as well. I can not flash it current. The CWM ROM Manager says flashing and never completes. It has Root privileges. Really has me beside myself at the moment and it is my primary driver so it is interfering with WORK now and really has been ANGRY!
Maybe try out different radios or make sure you using the required version of TWRP?
I'm using UVMC6
