[Q] Microphone issue with PA ROM!

Hey there! I just installed the last PA official version for my M8. Anyway, I just noticed that there is a problem with the microphone. It appears only when I record a video in any app "Camera, Snapchat, or YouNow".
The problem is that my voice sounds too low! I barely hear it. If anyone knows how to fix this, please help me cuz i record a lot of videos and i make a lot of video calls via Skype and i need the mic to be fixed!

Anyone?

Mic doesn't work only in Whatsapp Call and Video Call

Hi ZF 5Z Users,
I am having an issue with phone microphone only on Whatsapp Call and Video Call. All permits for Whatsapp are given.
Phone Mic works on normal voice all and other apps (such as voice recording, etc)
Things are getting more strange when i try to use headset, i can have a normal conversation on Whatsapp Call and Video Call.
Anyone having similar issue? Please Share if you found the solutions.

Mic problem and WhatsApp poor audio quality due to Android 10? ?

Hi everyone,
I use to send WhatsApp audio messages since a couple of days, and the person which received it tell me that my audio file volume is very low.
I try to send simultaneously an message through WhatsApp with 2 phones and indeed, with the other volume is correct, even wonderful when I compare ?
When I listen a audio message from WhatsApp, into WhatsApp I heard some noise "cryp cryp" like a vynil LP from 1950 ?
But when I found this audio voice mail, an Opus extension, the message is clear.
Some messages talk about these problems and claims that is a update problem since Android 10.
I don't know if my sent audio file was some bad before, but I remember that the file received was better.
Do you know lf Nokia is working about these problems?
Any alternative exists to correct that?
Many thanks.

Same problem ...

Question Low voice messages volume

hey guys!
is it just me or is the sound of voice messages played on the device really low compared to how the generell sound volume of media is? for example if i play voice msgs from my people i need to crank up the volume just to be blasted when listening to a youtube clip after that.
also: my voice messages seem to be quite low in volume too. this is in whatsapp and telegram too. i am speaking directly "to the screen" btw.
last but not least: my speed up button in whatsapp audios disappeared. does someone know this issue?
thanks so much!

Question Low microphone volume

Anyone else having this occur? I'm sending voice clips on fb messenger and the volume is insanely low, even on playback.

It is the same on Pixel 6 too. To me it sounds like all of the sound messages somehow down-sampled to some terrible sample rate and the gain is very low true. If you record with the regular sound recorder and send the recorded audio on the receiving side sounds perfect. Only the messages which are recorded with WhatsApp, messenger, Signal etc they're sounding really terrible.

It may be just on stock. I'm curious if anyone on a custom ROM has this issue.

The problem still present on SQ1D.220205.003 (February) update (unfortunately)
How is that possible to have such a problem with one of the main feature of the device that long without fix? I mean this isn't just a 'cosmetic' issue. Is there anyone here who can compare the quality of the audio messages on stock and custom ROM?

Same problem here.Low microphone volume on whatsapp messages.On the recorder app its good .....

I have added my measurements here:
Bad Microphone quality speech intelligibility in messaging apps eg WhatsApp, Duo, Telegram
Hello Since I have my Pixel 6 all of my messaging partners (WhatsApp, Duo, Signal, Telegram etc) are telling me audio problems including bad quality, low volume, and not last poor speech intelligibility. The problem happens in live call/video...

(As my device is Pixel 6 and not Pro, I had to open a new topic in the Pixel 6 forum, but the problem is identical)
