I get extremely low mic volume when recording voice notes I know this is not an OS or hardware issue because the mic works perfectly on other apps including Instagram or telegram voice notes.
It is so low that I literally have to place the bottom mic on my lips to get a half decent volume recording level. This problem also doesn't exist in the Whatsapp Business app.
A temporary work around I found is to activate another app using the mic like any other voice recorder set actively to recording and then switch to Ehatsapp and record your voice note. Whatsapp support have proved entirely useless with canned responses every time I email them.
Just the normal and beta version of the standard Whatsapp messenger. I'm wondering if anyone else is having this issue.
Hello. I 'm having the same issue since some months ago.
I were not able to find a solution yet. Just received the update 11.2.7.7 but have not tried if this helped to solve the issue or not.
I checked with telegram and realized, the issue was only shown in whatsapp.
I'm yet to receive this update. It should reflect in a few days though. Kindly let me know if this update fixed it
Did you guys find a fix for this?

Hello,
I'm facing the issue that voice messages (e.g. WhatsApp voice messages) are recorded in a very low volume. The person I'm sending the messages to is almost not able to hear me.
The volume during a regular phone call seems to work.
Does anyone know a solution for that? I already googled and changed some values within the build.prop, audio_platform_info.xml and mixer_paths.xml but nothing seems to work.
Regards
There was thread about this few months ago. It turned out that third party apps sometimes record via Noise Cancellation Mic
And is there any possibility to change that?
Can you give me a link to this thread?
Thanks in advance!
Hallo everybody,
I have Bluboo Maya Max with the latest original firmware (DK9F23WAE.LTXI.H.SCS8.0419.V3.07) and did not try to root the device or change anything related to audio setup.
When I try to use Maya Max for VOIP calls (only audio-calls) with Whatsapp or Skype - it works good, the other side (the person I am calling) can hear me as well as when I call directly, i.e. VOIP audio call is very good and I can hear the other side very well.
However, when I try to do a Video-Call through Whatsapp or Skype (or any other Videocall app) - the video (picture) is good (in both direction), I can hear and see the other side very well, they can also see me very well, BUT: the other side can not hear me or hears me very badly !!!! As if my microphone volume is
I could not find any setup option to increase the microphone volume.
It is the same no matter what Internet speed I have and no matter if it is LTE or WiFi-DSL-connection. As if the phone uses another microphone or different audio-setup setting/volume when I try to do the Video call . This is specific to my phone (Bluboo) since when I use another phone (Laegoo or Samsung S6) at the same place/time and with the same Internet connection method - the other side can hear me and see me very well (so it is not problem of the I-net connection speed).
Does anybody have an idea why is this happening and how could I solve the problem?
Thanks for your help/suggestions.

Did you ever find a fix for this?
I installed [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][m8qlul] LineageOS 15.1 for HTC One M8s a few days ago and have encountered an issue where audio seems to work fine on normal calls, WhatsApp calls, and in video, but in WhatsApp (and Messenger) video calls although I can hear and see the other person they can see me but cannot hear me.
All permissions for WhatsApp are enabled. I cleared data, uninstalled, rebooted, and then reinstalled but observed the same issue.
Is there anything else worth trying?
Did you find a fix @runswithascript ?
Hi all. I bought 2 Honor 10 devices and on both smartphones I am experiencing the same problem: voice messages sent through WhatsApp or Telegram and other third party apps come out with a very low volume. I literally have to be 1 cm close to the mic in order for the volume to be ok. 5 cm away and they can barely hear me. I believe it to be a software bug. It works fine when making phone calls or recording voice notes through the "recording" app. Anybody out there having the same issue and know if there's a chance to fix this? It's a deal breaker for me and I'm considering to return the devices for a refund. Thanks
I have the same problem on Loudapeaker
I have the same problem!
- voice messages sent through WhatsApp or Facebook come out with a very low volume
- It works fine when making phone calls or recording voice notes through the "recording" app
- I literally have to be 1 cm close to the mic in order for the volume to be ok. 5 cm away and they can barely hear me.
But until now no solution for it...
Problem here after update 10, microphone extremely low on WhatsApp voice notes and voice recorder just on those apps and this weird notification appears every time an app use mic.
The message says " prohibit (app) from use microphone?
This time
All time
Cancel"
Is very frustrating. The mic sometimes works but mostly extreme low volume on WhatsApp voice notes and stock voice recorder app.

Hi there people.
I've got the following issue. If anyone has this issue or has fixed it let me know.
Calls seem to be interfering with my mic. Sometimes my voice doesn't go to the other end even though normal call or whatsapp call. They might hear 1 word then nothing from me for a few seconds then a word or two and it sometimes sounds like a clicking noise.
I've called my self too and I can't hear anything on my RM7 but whoever I call can hear the clicking noise and sometimes nothing from me.
Sometimes I can't hear the other person too. It cuts out.
Same with normal calls and whatsapp calls.
Continuing my testing, I can send voice notes without issue and receive them and play it via rhe earpiece without issue too. Even voice recording and video recording the microphone does a good job only in calls it bugs out.
Continuing my testing
Works fine with headphones connected. But mic and earpiece work fine when used by voice notes and video ect
I don't know if it's a coincidence or not but I have the same issue. It started around last week.
I cleaned my speakers and mic thinking I got dirt build up. But it's still the same.
It seems like a software issue. Looking at the patch notes in latest OS update (NX679J_UNcommon_V3.16) for me, they have listed "Repair: possible issues with calls in some scenarios". I don't know when they released the update and when I applied it to my phone but that could be the reason for this issue too.
After reading your post I tried regular calls with headphones, speakers and video call with Google meet. They all work fine.
For call on speaker, as soon as you turn the speaker off it starts acting up again.
Hopefully they will fix this issue soon.
From my testing it seems like its an app or something interfeering with the calls. I started the phone up in safe mode (no 3rd party apps only stock ones) and the issue was gone, so the issue is a app related issue, thinking its a virus I just reset the phone to factory and all is good now. I didnt find what was causing it.
Thanks for an update.
I will play around a bit and if it doesn't work out then will do the same.
