[Q] Microphone mute in phone/Skype but not other apps - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a non-rooted Asus Zenfone 5 with recent OTA firmware. When I attempt a normal voice call or Skype call the microphone is muted i.e. I can hear the caller but they can't hear me.
Other microphone related activies such as Sound Recorder, Google voice search and Keep voice note work fine. Using a microphone headset doesn't make any difference.
I've searched through every setting imaginable and tried a few mute apps from Google Play and no luck.
Any feedback is appreciated.

Speaker phone problems with voice mail.

What happens is when I open the voice mail app and press play, then press the speakerphone icon, I hear the voice mail loud for a millisecond then it goes so low I can hardly hear it. Can someone test and see if they have the same issue?
I have the same issue with stock voice mail and google voice mail.
The speaker works fine with YouTube and Facebook videos, playing music, and even tested the voice recorder app to record and play back my voice just fine.
I have already made sure the volume is raised all the way.

Pantech Burst Low Microphone volume in calls

Is there a way to increase the clarity and volume of voice during calls?
Pantech Burst with stock firmware ICS. Will installing CM10 fix it?
Using a MP3 voice recording app, it isn't bad. But during calls, the voice that's transferred over is terrible quality, static-y, and half the volume of a normal phone recording.
I have the same problem but I'm on stock 4.0.4. Microphone works fine if I use the voice recorder. However, on phone calls, my voice isn't picked up well (tested by recording outgoing message on my voice mail). I notice that if I cover the rear mic (don't know if that helps) and speak directly into the mic (which requires that I remove my ear from the speaker), my voice is picked up much better. However, this form of talking (where I can only hear or talk but not both at the same time) isn't practical in a conversation.

[Q] Noisy Recording with Bluetooth headset

I need to use some hands free apps through a bluetooth handset (e.g. cyberon voice commander, Klets, and others).
All these hands free apps use the voice recording function of the phone to acquire the voice.
I noticed very bad accuracy in voice recognition using the BT headset. I tried to record voice through the headset and discovered that the recording is very bad, low volume and noisy. While if I record directly through the phone mic it is crystal clear.
I tried with different BT headsets and the result is the same.
Nevertheless voice conversation over the BT headset is working well.
Any one as experienced the same behaviour and/or found a solution?

Any news on this issue? Will it be addressed in the 5.0 upgrade from Sony?
Bug: Voice cancellation while BT recording
I have investigated on this issue and learned that Sony firmware after Andriod 4.4.x activate voice cancellation while Bluetooth recording.
This reduces the voice recording quality and accuracy rate of voice recognition.
Sony, when you will solve this bug?

Earpiece not working

A strange issue is happening:
The earpiece speaker of the phone doesn't work during normal calls, the audio always comes via loudspeaker automatically and the button to switch to loudspeaker/speakerphone during call also doesn't work.
Strangely, it works fine during WhatsApp voice call.
Any idea, what may be the issue and how to resolve it?

Voice call recording app that works?

Hello everyone,dont know if its the right thread,
Does anyone know a call recording app for Android 12 on LG that can record both sides?
Every app that i tried on playstore records only my voice and the sound from receiver is not captured.ie relies only on the device's microphone to record what it hears in general,not the incoming audio.
In the past was way easier,every app worked,even on BT audio.now not even one.
