I have seen this problem with a lot of custom ROMs. Whenever the secondary mic is covered, I mean not even completely blocked but even if it is covered. The call quality is very very bad and the person on the other side cannot hear anything (just mumbles at max if I scream out loud). Do any of you have the issue? How do I fix it and if your ROM doesn't have this issue, can you tell me which ROM / Kernel you're on?
Thanks in advance!

Hi all,
I'm using a Galaxy Nexus on Rogers in Canada.
I'm having trouble with the bottom microphone being very quiet and muffled.
Unfortunately I'm leaning towards this being a hardware issue because:
The volume is normal and clear when recording a video and when on speakerphone (which I understand uses the top microphone)
The volume is normal when using a headset
The volume is quiet and muffled when recording in "Voice Recorder" which uses the bottom microphone.
But I thought I'd check if anyone else has had this problem before and has any ideas for a solution other a full wipe (which i'll reluctantly try next) or returning the phone.
Thanks,
-Peter
i have similar problem. everything is fine on speakerphone or during video recording. but when it's a call or audio recording it's just pops, cracks, noise.
I have had this happen a few times on calls. If I reboot my phone it goes away. It hasn't happened in a month or so. I'm running AOKP build 29 at the moment.

I have been getting this problem on the last four builds of AOKP.
People always complain that they can hardly understand when I speak.

I've got exactly same problem... it's annoying, I have this phone for over 6 months and was hoping there will be a fix for it... it also seems to be only a case when talking on the phone.
when recording all seems fine... so it must be a software problem or smth... i'm looking for a solution for a long time, checked lot's of ROMS... starting to be unbearable for me and especially for ppl on the other side

Just bumping this topic.
Did any of you manage to fix this. I have replaced the entire usb/microphone assembly on the phone from a new part, and i still get muffled voice calls through the main mic. Works fine on speakerphone or secondary mic.
I have tried many stock variations, and am attempting to revert to my stock stock telstra yakjuxw build (trying to find a copy atm).
Bump the only thing I have to possibly is that it appears more frequently with HTC DNA and landlines when I call feature phones I'm OK.

I fix my problem. The hole for the microphone is very small, and In my case, it was totally "dirty". So I just cleaned it, and all works

I use toothpick, maybe this way is not very smart but... Using toothpicks I just cleaned microphone hole. In my case microphone hole was fully packed. I also find thread on reddit about this problem, one of answer is:
I believe I may have a fix for future users who search through this forum. I read that cleaning out your headphone port can resolve this issue. If there is lint or anything in there, then it tricks the phone into thinking that the aux is plugged in and your voice won't be picked up the the mic, but the non-existent headphones. Turning on speakerphone re-routes the mic from the aux to the handset mic.

So during a phone call if i push speakerphone i can hear the person on the other side but they can't hear me, if i switch back to regular mode they can hear me again.
anyone have any idea what might be causing this issue?
running Wind 3.5 and the rom in my sig v7.
i'm not sure if there are two mics in this phone but i don't think so.
i have read that noise cancellation can cause this issue but i can't find any settings for it, any help would be greatly appreciated.
any suggestions at all? i'm using wind kernel should i try reverting to stock? does anyone know what handles speaker/mic functions? rom or kernel or both?
i tried flashing an older version of wind kernel no luck, i'm hesitant to flash back to stock rom tho...
nobody has any suggestions?

Hello everyone,
I have a i9192,
I'm using stock rom and kernel I9192UBUBMK4 Stock.
I have a strange problem, when I make a voice call ...
the other person hears me bad, the volume is low then it is high, then low again.
I hear the person correctly without problems.
but she did not hear me well.
someone has been there?
excuse me for my English, because I'm using google translator.

My fingers are away from the microphone,
when I use the speakerphone everything works perfectly.
I tested other apps such as skype and VoIPs,
all works perfectly too
This problem is also there on both my S4 Mini the korean ones. The best way to solve this is
1. Use Adapt Sound. You might need to set it up first.
2. Plug in headphones, if it still gives that problem, try inserting them again 2-3 times on a call.
I have been having some problems with the front speaker lately. Most of the time when I get an incoming call or make a call no sound comes through the front speaker and have to put the loudspeaker on to hear anything.
Has anyone else had the same problems? How to fix this?

Are you using Vanilla AOSP/Code Aurora rom? If not, then sorry, your speaker is broken, you need to replace it.

First i thought it was broken, but some times it worked and some times not, i don't know why it's happening.
Recently i've installed SuperiorOS and noticed that my voice on phone calls is now really quiet.
Tried using the phone mic and also my earphone, in both cases my girlfriend said my voice was quiet and she had a hard time listening to me on the phone.
While searching for a solution i realized that this is a very common problem with many devices using custom roms.
That being said, is there a fix for this? Maybe a different rom, a Magisk module or even a custom kernel. I don't wanna go back to the stock rom but i'll have to if i don't find a fix for this.
Never experienced any bad RIL call quality in custom ROMs here, at least in Phils. Probably some sort of operator's signal gone bad or related to your carriers dependency.

I don't know, I think it's more of a problem with my microphone.
I can hear people just fine but my voice souds quiet. This also happens on apps like Discord, wich is what makes me think the problem is not related to my carrier.
Anyway, what rom are you using? I might try another one to see if the problem persists

For now, it's POSP Android 10 with Nitrogen R1 or R3 I'm using. And it really is ROM or kernel related problem for mic. Same goes for other Android 10 ROMs too. But not RIL / camera / recorder app mic, at least on what I've used.
