Xperia microphone issue - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an Xperia play - modded with cyanogenMod 9.1.0 ICS
I used to have 4.0 but i modded it hoping it might fix my issue.
It"s rather strange, I can call and receive calls no problem, people can hear me fine. When i put it on loud speaker they can't hear me.
Also if it try and record my voice or a sound it doesnt work. Absolute silence with a small 'beep' at the end of each recording
The microphone can't be broken as I can call people fine, surely it's just a glitch of some kind.
Any idea if it can be fixed? anyone have the same problem?
cheers

[Q] Skype Voice Calling on 4.4+

I use voice chat on Skype a lot, but I also love the speed from 4.4.1 + crpalmer's kernel + bionic libs, however, there's one thing that's keeping me away from that speed, and that's voice chatting being broken on 4.4..Does anyone know a fix for this or know what kind of problem it is? Is it a 4.4 ROM problem or a kernel problem? Whether stock kernel or crpalmers, whenever I initiate a Skype call, it literally kills my ears, it makes this extremely loud screeching and static-y noise that never goes away unless I restart my phone...Anyone know what's up with this?

Have you tried last night's CM 11.0 nightly build? I specifically posted in that thread (which is where you should be looking to see if there is anything new) that I had pushed changes that *might* fix Skype problems and asking for feedback and yet I received 0 feedback.

Sorry for double post, I just wanted to make sure you saw it, but, Skype calling still makes that horrific static noise as before, thanks for trying to help anyway though.

What version did you install? (Specifically)
Are you using your phone as a phone, speaker phone, headset, bluetooth?

I'm using my headphones to test the Skype call audio, and I'm testing 20131211. I'll try speaker phone audio right now.
EDIT: I don't even hear anything when Skype calling through phone speaker, no call tone or anything.

That sounds like the behaviour prior to the changes I pushed. I just double checked an a wired headset is working fine for me.
What does your phone say in Settings >> About Phone >> CyanogenMod Version?

Yes, I need this feature as well.
As far as I managed to understand, problem is the lack of ability for line recording, as opposed to microphone recording which is enabled. Obviously with microphone recording, the far side's volume is very week, so that's why you it doesn't work properly.

The problem with call recording is in kernel. Our kernel does not support 2 way recording (so both voices recording from line). It will record from headphones. No way to fix with any problem. Only way is to add 2-way call recording in kernel.

That's not entirely true. If you look at what I wrote in this app's thread to the dev, I managed to produce a scenario (involving the headphones) in which I managed to make it work.

Yeah, using headphones. With speaker it will not work without line recording imo.

It does in one very awkward scenario. Copying here what I wrote in the Boldbeast call recorder thread. Here's the scenario:
- Plugged headphones
- Made the call and started recording (Let's call it stage 1). At this point I couldn't hear the call sound in my headphones, but still in the phone (no such problem if I don't record)
- Turned speaker on (stage 2). Now I hear the call in the speaker of course
- Turned speaker off, at this point I could hear the call in my headphones (stage 3)
Now when playing back the recording, I could see that in stage 1 I could hear the far side low, but in stages 2 & 3 I could hear it fine.
Note that stage 3 is the interesting one. The speaker is off, I hear the sound in my headphones, and the far end is recorded fine.
I really can't put a finger on the reason to the problem. I'm just saying I reached a state where I could record a 2-way call, without having the speaker on at this stage.

Had problems in the past uploading videos, so will guide you step by step. Please try to keep up.
First of all make sure your device is properly rooted and that you uninstall all other call recording apps.
Now install BoldBeast call recorder.
After installation, go to the application setup, Call settings :
- Set call recording mode to 22
- Enable root options (took me a few times until it worked, but it should work)
- Fix Recording Issues - mark all options except for Auto switch speaker on
(On a side note - these settings were the only ones that somehow worked. You are welcome to try other ones)
Now after setting this up, you will see a record icon for any call you make. Clicking it will start recording the call (showing a blue paw icon in the status bar). You can then hear the recorded calls by selecting the phone icon in the app.
Now to scenario I described:
- Plug your earphones in
- Make a call
- Click the record button. At this point, you won't hear the audio in your earphones but still in the phone
- Turn the speaker on, then turn it off
- You will now hear the audio in your earphones
Now after you hangup, you will hear both sides of the call starting the point you turned the speaker on and off.
This is really awkward. I guess christi is right by saying that the problem is in the kernel/ROM (as it worked properly with stock JB & KK). In addition, this app's dev told me it should have worked for me (using another mode - 34), and that he couldn't help if it didn't. So, I guess that until the kernel/ROM is fixed, we won't have call recording working normally in this ROM.

Firstly, I got my device back. Secondly, I have never ever promised anything like that. I said that I will watch on it and see what can be done, so never promised a thing. This is not a priority for me since it's not my job or anything like this. I am making this for free and I have never charged anything so far. Who wants can donate, but again, I am not charging, so I am making this when I want/ have free time/ have the mood for it. If you still doubt it, or anyone does, I have the pm saved. Please don't say I promised when I didn't do such thing. Things like this drive me nuts. Have a nice day.
cool man.. i just said simply.. dont be serious. sorry if i anything did wrongly..

Thanks, I tried that too, but it still not work.
Some guy tell me that the phone has 2 microphone, one for call, and the secondary microphone for recording. Is that true?
Under the Google App voice settings, try disabling "OK Google" detection "from any screen".
I had the same problem and this fixed it.
It didnt work to me.

I am quite not sure, but apparently everyone in this thread are having hardware issues rather than software.
I would bring it to some professionals in a proper phone shop and try that.

Main speaker stops working: fix

Hi. I have a J7 2017 (SM-J730F) since it was released, and there is a problem related to the main speaker that has happened to me several times.
Sometimes, the speaker stops working. Headphones, Bluetooth speakers and the call speaker work perfectly, but the main one doesn't play any sound. Instead, if you listen closely, you will hear a low static noise when something is supposed to be played, and like an electric sound when the sound is meant to be stopped.
If this happens to you, maybe you have noticed that rebooting the phone won't fix it, even in safe mode. But there is a way to make it work again: just turn down the phone and wait a couple of minutes before turning it on again.
If you have other problems with sound and/or other possible fixes for it you can share it here, so somebody may find it helpful.
Omfg thank you I thought the speaker was dead

You're welcome
It must be a software problem
It works!
That is right.
This problem occurs after you do the root.
Power off and wait for a minute or two, then power on is enough to fix this problem.
Note: This problem always occurs when you do soft reboot with a third-party application, but it does not occur when you restart in the normal way.
I liked to share my experience with this problem.
Anyway, thank you.

I've never rooted my phone, and when this happened to me my device wasn't even rebooted. It's more like a software issue, and Samsung must fix it.
But the important thing is that this fix works to everyone, so you're welcome
