[CyanogenMod] Microphone not working when earpiece is plugged in - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I have a T-mobile Galaxy S 5. Recently I tried CyanogenMod 12.1 and several derivatives (such as Resurrection Mix). All share the same problem: during a call, if I plug in a earpiece without a microphone, the microphone in the phone will not work. The other side can't hear me. I can hear the other side though. If I instead plug in a earpiece with microphone (like the one from the phone), everything works. Or if I turn the speaker on from the phone app, the phone's microphone also works.
I remember when I was using the Samsung TouchWiz there is no such problem. Is this a known issue of CyanogenMod? Is there any ticket tracking this issue? Is there simple way to fix?
Thanks!

[Q] Can't use headphones with inline mic

Hey,
for some reason, I can't use the microphone on any earphone/headphones with an inline mic. The audio output is fine, I can hear the sounds through my earphones. The mic, however, does not work. The main play/pause button on my earphones work as well, but the volume buttons don't.
Weird thing is, even the earphones that come with the G2 does not work, this is obviously a software problem. Is there a known fix or is there an app or something I can download to fix this problem?
Some specific problems:
sometimes when I am calling someone and I use my headphones, the mic on the phone stop working. I'm assuming the phone detects that an earphone with a inline mic is plugged in, thus turning off the one on the phone, but obviously this just ends up with them not being able to hear me at all.
In the sound recorder(where I have been checking whether the mics were working or not), the recorder doesn't detect my mic on the earphones, but it "hears" everytime I press a button on the inline mic which is interesting.
Hopefully someone has gotten this to work. I'm running CM 6.1, the specific earphones I'm trying to get working is skullcandy 50/50s (which is meant for iphone, but i've heard that iphone earphones work too). Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.
That's been an issue for some people. My old wired headset that came with my Cliq does the same thing - audio mic is bypassed and mic on the phone is used instead.
The wired headset that came with the G2 works fine for me though. Tested it every which way with my wife on the phone and always got audio with the headset mic.

skeptical, I tried using the one that came with the G2 again, and magically it worked. I know that the whole audio/mic thing is still buggy, I probably tested it before when it was acting up. Looks like a lot of people are having success with skullcandy's FMJs so I think i'll go try them out.
I had a similar issue and I heard that wired headsets (iphone compatible) work on Stock, so I nandroided and went back to stock from Cyanogen and the headset mic worked fine, so it might be a cyanogen specific issue.

Microphone does not work only in speakerphone mode

Hi all,
I just got a Nexus 4 recently and I've been racking my brain with what on earth is happening with the microphone.
The problem is that the microphone WORKS PERFECTLY when doing a google search, voice call in normal mode, or voice recording. It does not work at all if I enable the speakerphone during a voice call. This seems to be exactly the opposite problem that others are having with the Nexus 4. I can still hear the person in the call but when I talk, they can't hear me. Not even white noise, just total and utter silence.
I have tried 2 flex cables (trying replaced the initial one whose microphone didn't work at all, at the time I had CM11) and tried flashing everything (baseband, recovery, system) to stock 4.2.2, tested it with no luck. I then flashed everything with the latest version 4.4 off google's developer section and tested with the same issues. I've tried factory resets, unplugging the headphones, and also soundabout and nothing resolves the issue.
When I look at the flex cable and the phone housing, it seems to me that there is only one microphone on the bottom. On the top, there is the noise canceling mic, but I don't think this has anything to do with the speakerphone. Am I wrong? Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? I don't know whether this is a hardware problem or some low level software issue.
UPDATE:
I noticed something super strange. If I plug a headphones w/ a mic into the headphone jack, I can actually hear very loudly and in great detail the friction from my fingers moving up and down anywhere the case of the phone, and if I tap on the body of the phone (anywhere, even near the USB port on the bottom) it's like stuffing paper into your ear canals. I can still hear the person on the other end fine, and they can also hear just as clear and loud when I touch the phone body. This phone is a science experiment now. The closer I move my fingers to the bottom of the phone near the mic, the louder it gets.
've tried everything. You also changed the Kernel, I do not know ... Maybe it's a problem RADIO, but I doubt it.
Eventually contact Google support
Typical factory problem....when i bought my Nexus 4 (S/N shows production date is October 2013 so its the newer batch with little nipples and camera lens offset fix) the microphone was dead and i could've only talk through headphones and speakerphone....took it to the repair shop and everything works now. Don't know what they replaced, maybe it wasnt the microphone.

[Q] Strange behaviour of g2 display and audio

Hello guys,
Since a week my g2 has been behaving strange.
The audio has completely stopped working be it from the loudspeakers or earpiece. Even the mic is not working. Although, when i connect the headset, the audio in the headphones and the mic of the headphones work. At this time i tried rerouting radio to loudspeakers and they didnt work.
Since this issue the display switches off when i make a call and doesn't come back on till the person on the opposite side cuts the call.
It has made my device completely useless. I tried flashing cm12 nightly and then flash a modem according to the instructions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-sound-flashing-custom-rom-fix-t2810492
This also failed to work and the same issue continued.
I was running stock 4.4.2 when this issue happened
What do you guys recommend
Thanks

Primary mic broken, is it possible to redirect to secondary mic?

Hi all,
I am having problems with calling since i bought my n9005 4 years back, people did not hear me speak on the other side, but when i put the phone in speaker mode the sound was just fine on receiver side.
Using different roms from stock to CM13 and miui nothing software related seemed to be the problem (tried all the things that i could find on the net and in settings).
Anyway, so I always been calling on speaker or using my huawei watch.
Now after all this time i thought lets fix it, and bought a new USB / Mic unit which i installed without success.
Since on speaker calls still works great, normal calls only cracking sound, i thought maybe its possible to redirect thru software to secondary mic on top of phone which i believe gets activated when talk on speaker phone?
Thanks in advance.

Mic problems

Odd problem I've had since starting to use Exodus 6... I don't know if it's a ROM problem, or something more general, as this is the first MM ROM i've used.
Device: D850
Currently running 20160419 nightly
(Clean flashed 20160416, but the factory reset didn't resolve the problem)
stock kernel.
The problem is that whenever i switch to speakerphone while on a call, the mic mutes itself and the person at the other end can't hear me. Turning the speaker off reenables the mic. I've recently noticed that the same occurs when i have the phone plugged in to my car audio through the 3.5mm jack. Sound outputs, but the mic is muted, so hands-free calling doesn't work, "OK Google" doesn't, voice-to-text for sending messages stops working, etc.
Anyone else run into this? Is there a fix? A way to start tracking down the problem, perhaps?
I had the same issue on cyanogen 13 with all the recent nightlies after some point in February. Could never narrow it down. I ditched cyanogen since and went back to stock rooted and I have no issues. I also had issues with speaker volume being extremely low.
