Hi there,
So i bought redmi note 5 global version which seems to be identical to note 5 pro. Problem is during skype calls and even phone calls the recipient can not hear me clearly most of the time. Sound becomes muffled and incomprehensible, person can hear me but can't make out what i am saying. It does not happen constantly, issue comes and goes. I am on 9.6.4 MIUI version.
Does anyone experience the same issue? Could it be firmware issue or charging pcb microphone issue. I don't feel like dealing with warranty since i have sensitive data on my phone, i spent ages setting everything up and it would probably take long time to get it back. I was thinking to replace microphone pcb myself since they can be purchased for 10 buckaroos and replacement it is easy and straightforward.
Does anyone have some insight into the problem or has dealt with it themselves.
Cheers
miui 10 is out
please upgrade and try
So i upgraded to MIUI 10 and issue persists, doing some reading it seems during voice call apps like skype top noise canceling mic goes bananas and messes up sound for recipient.
I feel changing bottom mic pcb won't do anything. There were posts about disabling noise canceling but for some reason those posts are taken down.
Does anyone know a fix other than throwing my phone against the wall. I need to use skype a lot, i've gotten used to my lil redmi, would be shame to buy smth else.

Have you tried this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...gisk-fix-bad-camcorder-audio-quality-t3828711
It fixes the static background noise in recorded videos,but it might work in skype too
I have the same issues like Dzessi.
Mic is an garbage, unusable. Allmost all the time is not working properly, expecially in games or apps (voice chat) is low, high, diatorcions, radio white sharping noise, echo. I ve tryd everything on YouTube an papa Google, nothing solve it. I receive it in September as my bd gift, and I can't enjoy it, so frustrating I never write so many mesages on apps since I ve got an Java phone, nobody wants to voice chat anymore, (my brother recorded me and send me the voice message on whatsapp) well, I didn't voice chat whit me allsow in that horrible noise. If someone can help me solve this I ll be so happ. thanks in advance
I also have the same problem. Some say that some of you talk nice we do not hear you. Does anyone know the way to overcome it?

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I tried searching for the problem but it appears that most of the results that come up regarding in call audio issues were the microphone cutting out.
However, the problem i've been experiencing is for long phone calls with my gf, the audio that i hear on the receiving end seems to go in and out. What i mean is, the call will start out normally and everything sounds crystal clear, but after maybe 20 min, my gf begins to sounds really muffled as if she were talking to her phone from across the room instead of having the phone against her face. After a while the audio becomes loud and clear again.
She claims to hear me fine throughout the call, but it becomes almost impossible to make out what she's saying even on max volume (with and without the headphones too). Im not sure if it's an issue with my phone or hers (an iPhone 4s). I've had this issue on 4.0.2, and 4.0.4. I'm now running AOKP's 4.0.3 ROM and the problem still persists. Any help anyone? this is really annoying, esp for a long distance relationship!
Hello!
I stupidly threw down for 12 month subscription of StealthGenie to monitor my teenager that struggles with drugs.
I thought I would be able to record the phone calls as per StealthGenie's advertising. Turns out, on the Samsung Galaxy S III , once a call connects the recording goes completely wonky. You can almost hear the back and forth of a phone conversation, but it is like the gain is set way too high ,so everything is far too distorted and staticy to make out.
What's weird is that it only happens when a call CONNECTS. If the phone is just ringing (not being answered), or I activate the "record surroundings" feature, the recording is fine and I can hear everything.
I suspect it may have something to do with the noise reduction feature. I will shut this off and try again but, does anyone know why this might be happening and anything else I could try to resolve it??
Thanks in advance for any help or ideas!!!
...
Don't buy stealthGenie btw. They will not refund you if this feature doesnt work ......... although no where on the website will they tell you it doesnt work for Samsung Galaxy S III. Ialso cant find anyone else that says it doesnt work, or do i HAve any idea how I can fix it.
(I also tested the 3gp AMR-NB audio file for any problems and it does not have any. Its a problem with the software OR the phone itself)

Try these two... a little static too, but atleast you get the job done. But I hope you know its illegal to record calls without notifying the other party, let alone recording your son's calls secretly.
Just feed your teenager some tough love, take the phone away from them, make em get a job and threaten them with rehab
hmmm......
Same issue
I am experiencing the same issue. Did disabling noise cancellation resolve in any way? I think this might be hardware related, and that once the microphone kicks in, it might simply be too close to the speaker to effectively record. On the other hand, I've heard of apps that record well on the Samsung S3.

Not in Texas . You can record calls just fine in Texas without telling anyone on the other line.

Thanks for reminding.
Thanks for your reminding. I'm seeking the phone monitoring software, and have searched online, a lot of apps come out including StealthGenie. I saw Mobile Spy is very popular online, but it is a little expensive and can't try before purchase. Another quite popular is iKeyMonitor, I downloaded its free edition, its features are limited, but it really works well so far.
So here is the problem. I have tried talking to Google Support and also LG Support. Not under warranty anymore. I have heard several different people mention problems with their mics in calls, be it incoming or outgoing. I have done several things to try to fix this problem; flashing stock firmware and upgrading thru OTA's, clearing cache, rebooting every day, flashing custom roms, modifying the build.prop, opening the device and checking for physical damage. To my knowledge this phone has 3 microphones that are used for actual speaking and background noise reduction. When I opened the device everything looked ok on what I assumed were the mics (the tiny square bits soldered to the logic board at the top and the bottom). I assume these were just going bad and finally gave out on me. Has anyone had any experience getting these fixed or repaired? Is there any software based approach I can look into? I am really tired of using my speakerphone in every call. I assume I am not the only person with this problem.
If anyone can shed some light on this or help in anyway I would appreciate it
Thanks!
I would start by describing the mic issue you are experiencing during voice calls.
Haven't had any myself.
No one can hear me using the microphone, as soon as I switch to speakerphone the other party is able to hear me.
I've read mics can stop functioning if you try and clean the phone with compressed air. As far as fixing or replacing a mic I am unable to provide assistance.
Well rats. Hopefully someone can shed some light on getting this fixed. I do have some soldering experience but I don't even know how this translates via the logic board. Anyone that has more information the help would be awesome. Thank you for your time though previous posters.

I have this problem as well, but also all media volume can't be heard through the speakers. I've personally cleaned and replaced the unit and nothing works, I just have to choose speaker and start talking, else use a headset or a bluetooth mic
Same problem, no solution yet.
Think that is a software/driver/app combination bug.
When Iam in call hardly can anyone​ hear me, if I cover top mic - then im heard again (proof that bottom mic is working).
Top mic is used to cancel background noise, phone interpret your voice as background noise and volume it down. That way nobody can hear you.
When I cover top mic - no background noise detected and my voice is heard again.
Question is why top mic detect legit voice as background noise?
Same problem here. Can't use microphone normally on any sort of voice call. I have to change to speaker for people to be able to hear me. I'm not sure if I still have warranty so if it's a software problem I might be able to fix it by myself.
Nexus 5X, Stock 8.1.0 with security patch level 5 April 2018.
If I make or receive a call, the other party cannot hear me, my voice is severely muted and garbled. I've tested this by leaving messages on my home phone and all suffer from exactly this.
Now the microphone itself seems to be fine - WhatsApp voice messages are perfectly clear, I installed a voice recorder app to check and the recordings are good. Google voice searches also work fine.
I've done a factory reset. I've uninstalled updates to the Google Phone app. I've swapped SIMs. I've tried alternative dialers. I've turned on/off 2G /3G /4G. But my voice calls are always rubbish.
Anyone have any ideas as to what might be going on or suggestions as to what else to try?
Thanks!
Hi
I'm just visiting here with the same problem. I've been getting complaints about call quality from my end for a little while and it's driving me mad trying to be heard, often it starts off okay, then degrades rapidly after a few minutes, other times its from the start of the call. I've done the same as you, the mic tests fine in other apps, and sometimes it works okay. I did a complete factory reset which did seem to improve things but the problems returned, and no, I hadn't added any apps in between it working and going back to being terrible.
I've also tested calling my home answer phone and leaving a message to see what people are complaining about, and it is just constant drop outs. This happens over Wi-Fi calling, and over the network (EE network/UK), so it's not a reception problem. I've also used a plug in headphones with microphone and it's the same problem.
I really didn't want to buy another device at this time, but to me it's looking like a hardware problem.

Phil

Before I did the factory reset I had tried turning off noise reduction in the build.prop as recommended to try but it made no difference.
It sounds to listen too as though it's a faulty connection, and I'm thinking now this might be related to the reboot loops caused by connection problems, and this has the same cause, broken connections on the main chip. It's odd the sound is okay when recording sound or video, however that might simply be because the sound is being routed and processed elsewhere, and it's only when it's compressed for a call and routed via the Qualcomm modem that it's affected by a faulty connection. This would explain why sometimes for me it is okay, or starts of on a call okay then as the phone warms up the connection starts breaking.

Hi
I've now upgraded to a Pixel XL 2 as I needed to be able to be heard on calls and the 5X was out of warranty and LG didn't want to know. I really didn't want to upgrade quite so soon. The XL with the same SIM card on the same mobile network is all good and everyone can hear me, plus I have the benefit of VoLTE.
I believe the microphone problem is hardware related, most likely the same cause as the boot loop issues where the CPU or board has some broken solder connections. It sounds like a broken connection, and explains why it has progressively become worse. It's a pain as usually when I upgrade my phone gets handed over to another family member, but I can't do that with the broken 5X.

Hi,
Every time I am in a phone call with somebody using the earpiece, they can hear themselves. My assumption is the speaker is too close to the microphone and there is no noise cancellation. Does anyone have a solution or experience the same issue?
Tia
Same here, but...
I have the same issue on redmi note 8 pro, and i confirm that it happens only with bluetooth headset (everyone i have, old ones, different brands, single earpiece, earbuds) and only for a few people.
When present, lowering the volume doesn't seem to affect much the issue.
I found an article that says it can have something to do with the "ok google" recognition, tried to switch it off and as soon as possible i will be making some tests.
But, i'm thinking it can also have something to do with the fact that recently my phone operator had a business merge with another, and as far as i remember, before of this i didn't notice any issue. (or maybe i simply didn't call anyone echonig with my earbuds on)
Anyways i'm staying tuned for possible solutions.
I've heard that update to miui 12 is coming soon and maybe it can solve the problem.
