If I get to pick up my phone today as I plan too, I have to head to a class that I always need to voice record for notes.
Anyone know where the microphone for voice recording is located? I like to direct it in the way that the speaker is in so that I get a good recording.
Usually the mic used for voice recording is the one you talk through (bottom of the phone). The other microphone is used to help remedy back ground noise and is not really tweaked for just voice. I recommend pointing the bottom of the phone towards what you're recording.
Mi Max 32GB V8.1.4.0.MBCMIDI
The caller will not hear me, but when turn on the speakerphone, the caller hears me well. In the service menu microphone tests everything works.
When I record my voice recorder.app everything works well. NOT working only during a call, in Skype not working too. Maybe you know how to fix this problem. Maybe this is software bug ? or broke the microphone ?
p.s. Root installed
Still problem
Hello,
This may be because of Camera issue, there are two microphones in the phone, one is the upper one next to the Earphone Jack and one at the bottom next to Speaker. When we are making a movie from the camera in Landscape mode, phone is switching to the upper microphone, (this is a noise reduction microphone) and when we make a move in Portrait mode, this is switching back to the bottom mic, somehow, when are closing the camera from a Landscape mode, phone is not switching back the mic to the bottom one, and still set for the upper mic, causing a very low sound going out for the phone call, as we are speaking at the bottom and the mic is at the upper portion. When you are turning the speaker, the bottom microphone is turning on, hence the voice is clear at the other end. Try doing a little trick, switch on your camera, record a movie in PORTRAIT MODE for 2 to 3 second and close it. Now try again doing a call, to my understanding this will work, as this works for me. Please update if this works for you as well. Best Regards

THis landscape-portrait camera trick doesn't work on my phone.
My upper microphone works (noise reduction mic works in loudspeaker voice microphone mode). But bottom mic doesn't work. I replaced this mic, then i replaced bottom board and its flex. Nothing helps.
1.8V comes to the mic.
Hi. I tried doing factory reset and roms/kernels, I think my camcorder mic have hardware problems. The other microphones are working fine. I can make calls and record audios without problems but whenever I try to record videos, It has this very low sound coming from the mic (near the rear camera), the only way voices can be heard is if you put your mouth near the mic.
My question is, can I manually increase the reception of the mic (near the rear camera only) ? Or is there other ways to just disable this mic and just use the 2 other microphones whenever I record videos.
Thanks guys.
I just put a case on my g8 and noticed this cutout... what sensor is this?
Microphone, which complements the two on the top and bottom.
Using the audio recorder, you'll see it only records mono when the phone is vertical. I believe it's using this long mic then. When you turn to landscape, recording switches to stereo, using the mics in the head and chin of the phone.
If you shoot video or record audio, you'll hear how great the sound recording is. I could be wrong, but I think that all 3 mics are constantly in use for spatial sound recording and background noise reduction.
It's a noise canceling microphone, or far field/wide range mic, for spying/listening for assistant input from a far. Or both.
When in any call - voice or video or whatsapp call - the other party can't hear my voice IF I OPT FOR SPEAKER MODE AT MY END.
It is quite irritating. Either I have to use earphones for such video calls or simply disable speaker n use only the ear piece (avoid video calls).
No hardware issue - all the microphones n speakers working fine. It is only a software issue. Waiting for a solution.....
