How to disable noise reduction or cancellation during calls - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have an issue where on most calls I am not heard very well. mic test applications and call recorders all do perfectly but just on calls.
After some digging it seems oppo users had a similar issue and it was caused by the noise cancellation mic. They had some success editing the build.prop file to disable noise cancellation and apparently adjust internal mic volume.
I'm not sure if zenfone 2 has this hardware or not but anyone have any ideas? Currently running cm13 and see now built in options to adjust noise reduction or tty or any such settings.
Thanks

[Q] Noise Reduction in ICS?

I have a question for GN owners,
Is there an option in ICS to permanently disable the Noice Reduction feature during calls? Maybe it's in the Call/Sound settings? I'd appreciate if someone would look around for me.
good question, my experience with Samsung with call quality is not quite good (coming from an Galaxy S user).
I hope that Nexus has good noise reduction built in. but does it have Noise Reduction dedicated mic ?
Noise cancellation has a dedicated mic.
I think someone created a mod to disable that on the nexus one. Pretty sure you can do the same to the gn.
Yeah I'm voice issues with my S2 when Noise Reduction is enabled, so I have to disable manually it on every call. Would be more convenient if it can be disabled permanently on ICS, without having to root.

[Q] Wifi Calling - Incoming Audio Very Quiet

I've tried both GrooveIP and Talkatone, and both apps result in very quiet incoming audio. I have no complaints from the person on the other end hearing me, but I can barely hear them. Going into the settings of each program and boosting the speaker gain helps a little, but hinders audio quality. Even using the gain boost in each program has little effect on the earpiece volume (using the earpiece on the phone).
Is there another setting in either app or on the phone itself I might be missing? I am on an Epic 4G Touch running PhantomPhreak's CM10 ROM.

I found a solution. It seems odd, but I'm not complaining. It works. Using Talkatone, I went into the call settings and changed the "audio playback stream" from voice call to music. I noticed by changing this, it also deselected the hardware echo cancellation. It's odd changing this setting makes callers go from nearly inaudible because the sound is so quiet to being nearly like a normal non-wifi call. If I had to guess, the Epic 4g touch has no hardware echo cancellation or it isn't compatible with Talkatone if it does. In any case, I'm happy I can use wifi calling and finally hear the other person.

[Q] Disable noise cancellation in gtalk. Is it possible?

I have recently switched from S3 to Note 2 and I have experienced a significant change in gtalk sound. Now it's significantly darker, and my partner and I miss the slight bright noise in our audio conversations. She's had no changes on her phone and besides, before selling my S3 we had the chance to test both devices at once and clearly the sound was worse in note 2.
I had tried several things regarding microphone gain: N.E.A.K. kernel with wolfson audio control, alsa mixer, default_gain.conf tweaking, with not very noticeable changes.
I figure out the problem is not mic gain but noise cancellation. There's an option in stock phone app to switch it on or off during a call. Also some apps for sound recording have that option (Asr from play store).
Is there any way to disable noise cancellation under gtalk? Maybe in a configuration file? Does anybody know where that file is? Or maybe there's a way to disable noise cancellation globally?
Thanks for your help!
Have you tried disabling noise cancellation from your phone settings? Not sure if it will affect gtalk, but it's worth a shot.

Microphone Static

Xperia ZL C6506 on 10.31.A.2.67
I just got the phone and I have a slight static when placing phone calls. It seems to be on video recordings as well. I investigated further and through the service menu testing it seems like its the microphone. I test primary and secondary microphones and they both had static which made me think it might be a software issue and not hardware. If its a hardware issue I still have time to exchange it. I've tried enabling/disabling microphone noise cancellation but I didn't see much of a difference. Does anyone know if there are any extra service menus to lower the mic volume? I think if I can lower the microphone volume a bit I won't hear static.

Anyway to remove noise suppression in video recordings?

There's noticable noise suppression in video recordings which really affect the audio quality. As much as I like it on phone calls, I don't always record voices when shooting video. The noise suppression really destroys the sound of the environment. Anyone know a way to disable it?

Only way which I think is shooting in manual mode and disable wind filter, and optionally use HiFi audio recording which will enable recording sound track in lpcm.
But I very much doubt that tiny mics of G7 are capable to correctly picking ambient audio of 10-20 dB volume levels. They're too tiny, you should rely on external USB microphone with much higher sensitivity
