Im am not sure why because other cROMs have no problems with enabling the fingerprint sensor so why isn't it active yet?
Secound one is, why is my audio that much quite? I have the highest volume output activ and even with the button to make
it louder it is quite. I must go realy near to the speakers to understand the person with which I am calling and I don't think
that I have done any mistake while I installed LOS 14.1 for my device so I lable this as bug.
I hope that both things will be fixed as soon as possible, otherwise I have no other option to install another cROM.

Im getting tired of this phone. Microphones in speaker mode dont work as they should. Its very muffled on other end during the call. Then there is voice echo in speaker mode due to stereo speakers stereo mices. Thos mices are not configured the right way. I did install plenty of roms just to see any changes. Cleareing cache and everything else. Its the same issue.
Then there is serious voice lag in call data even in 2g network. I tested this on another device another brand. Its definitely the a2017g phone. Im not sure if mifavor flash tool is needed through pc. With that dedicated dac on both speakers and mices this phone would pick up fhe smallest sounds not muffled. Can somebody confirm if issue persist even with mifavor flash tool on pc?
Try cleaning mic hole, it gets stuffed with dirt really easily and it causes problems with microphone quality

Look, the Light Patch developer Miustone says that he found the problem and fixed it in his Light Patch. The microphones are configured wrong on LOS-based ROMs but that supposedly fixes it. Just read everything and try to install that
Hi there everybody. First time posting anything in any forums. Please excuse any irregularities that I may show (deviating from the norms and such).
ISSUE BACKGROUND
So I recently bought a LeEco Le Pro 3 (LEX727) second hand and I've run into an issue with the microphone during calling. I can hear the person calling fine, but the caller cannot hear me. I have checked that it is not a sim issue as I've tested call with two different sims (one local and one international sim). Currently it is running on LineageOS version 15.1-20180312-NIGHTLY-zl1. It is currently rooted via Magisk.
In system/etc/usf/form_factor_mtp.cfg I found out that there are two mics:
- top right mic
- bottom 90 degree mic.
I confirmed the top right mic is working as Google Now and recording apps picks up my voice. Using the MicTester app, I also confirmed it is indeed the top mic is functioning fine as the sound wave increases in amplitude as I input sound closer and closer to the top mic (as opposed to the bottom one).
I feel it is not a software issue as I have flashed various roms to the device, resulting with the same issue. Roms I have flashed includes:
- AICP (Oreo)
- Stock EUI
- Resurrection (Oreo)
- LineageOS (Oreo)
- Lineage OS (Nougat)*
*note: the phone came with LineageOS in Nougat. Same mic issue
Flashes were attempted with factory reset only and with complete wipe of internal storage (this was the latest attempt)
Also attempted to use MicFix module for Magisk. Still no mic
Also tried muting/unmuting during calls. Still no mic.
Also tried toggling loudspeaker on and off. Still no mic.
Hence, I feel that it is a hardware issue. To strengthen that opinion, there is a one solitary dent on the phone, near where the mic would be. Could be a completely busted mic or disconnected mic.
Also calls works fine via a connected wired earphone with inline mic.
CURRENT PURSUED SOLUTION
To remedy this issue, I wanted to reroute the mic paths for calls. Instead of using the bottom mic, I want to use the top mic instead. So could I get some assist in editing the mixer_paths.xml file of this phone to achieve that?
I found there are a few file with the name mixer_paths
system/etc/usf/mixer/mixer_paths_mtp.xml
System/vendor/etc/mixer_paths_tasha.xml
System/vendor/etc/sound_trigger_mixer_paths.xml
System/vendor/etc/sound_trigger_mixer_paths_wcd9330.xml
There is also this file:
System/vendor/etc/audio_tuning_mixer_tasha.txt
Can anyone help me figure this out with me?
Also, if there is a better way to solve this or that maybe the direction of editing mixer_paths is not quite right please do tell.
Note: I am not adept at codes. I have done a semester of matlab and c++ and that's it. Not really code savvy.
Any assist is very appreciated. Have been troubleshooting this issue for a few days now. Can't seem to be able to solve this
Hmm... I don't know if you'll get the help you need here. You should also try posting to reddit.com/r/AndroidDev, or maybe the general XDA Q&A forum?
What you might find easier to do is just replace the mic entirely. The mic is located at the bottom of the phone, on the charging port module itself. Replacements are available on AliExpress, but they might be missing some features(?). A few other users have the same problem as you. I encourage you to read through this sub-forum.

I'll try with ur suggestion to post this elsewhere. I'd rather not replace the microphone just yet because I'd like to try a non-open-my-phone-apart solution. Not the most dexterous of hands.
use a headphone/bluetooth mic till u fix it
I have a different device but the same issue. Main mic is not good, gives nothing but hisses.
Tried using RuleBot(info.kfsoft.autotask) from play store to automatically enable loudspeaker (which forces microphone to switch) when there's a call. I will update later if it works.

Hi, did you ever manage to get this working
Hi, thanks for visiting the topic. The problem was discovered when i installing this ROM, in fact clean LOS 14.1
He was stable, but when checking the microphone (in the dialer, voice recorder and video recording) it turned out that only the top microphone works (the S5 has two microphones - bottom and top), and the bottom one either does not work or works very poorly. So, when returning to the official firmware 6.0.1, it turned out that the top microphone should work as a noise maker, and the bottom one should work as the main one. In LOS, I understand it turned out the opposite. How can I reassign microphones or can I get drivers from the drain or can I edit some configuration files? Thanks.:silly:
Hi all,
I'm writing here in the hope of getting some better understanding of how microphones works, and maybe some hints on how to fix the problem I'm currently banging my head on.
I'm porting the Xiami Redmi Note 7 Pro to Ubuntu Touch, and I'm facing an issue with the audio recorder from the microphone: the top microphone works perfectly, whereas the lower one (the one used for phone calls) records a lot of background noise, in addition to the voice. I've spend several days trying to debug the issue, trying different stuff both with the kernel and with the mixer_paths.xml configuration, but every time when I thought I fixed the problem, after some reboots the issue was back.
I believe that the noise that the microphone is picking up is coming from the internal device circuitry: the noise changes depending on whether the screen is on or off, and it also changes when, for example, I'm scrolling a page. I think I do not hear this sounds when the device is running LineageOS, but I didn't try it extensively, so I might be wrong.
So, my questions are these:
if these sounds are indeed coming from the circuitry, how is the microphone supposed to deal with them? Is this what the noise cancellation is meant for?
Is there a generic way to enable/configure it?
And why is the upper microphone not capturing these sounds?
Can you recommend me some documentation to learn more about this issue (especially how it's dealt with in Linux or Android)?
Any help will be appreciated For complete reference, I believe that the audio SoC on the Snapdragon 675 is made up with the TI TAS2563 and with the Qualcomm Aqstic wcd937x.
Since there is no objective way to measure speaker sound quality, I cannot tell for sure but, it kin of feels that the speaker quality is worse with the official LineageOS ROM when compared to the official Samsung ROM. I have turned off the equaliser and the Dolby Atmos in the settings.
Does anyone else who use LineageOS ROM feel the same thing, or am I wrong?
Yes. But recent version has improved it. Still not bassy and rich sounding tho.

That's a shame. Does speakers need a proprietary driver? I wonder what is causing this.
After installing the latest (September) update, I could not feel any sound improvement. So, I reverted the tablet to the stock ROM today. After the initial setup is done, I immediately played the same song that I had played on LineageOS, and yes, it sounded much better.
I had installed LineageOS because it was version 12.1 (12 enhanced for tablet, as far as I know) and Samsung stopped the official ROM at 11. But frankly, I could not find any useful tablet features in 12.1. I at least expected a volume slider (like the one on iPad), but no. The only thing that was remotely useful was double-tap status bar to turn the screen off, but that was LineageOS's feature, not Android 12.1's. Android 11 is still very useable, so I guess I am just going to use the stock ROM. I use tablets mostly for media consumption so bad speaker sound was just not bearable.
Let this be warning to future people who want to install LineageOS. Do not install it unless you don't use internal speakers.
While I never used stock ROM, I noticed some speaker peculiarities while watching youtubes (on NewPipe). I tried to set my volume at a considerate level, not blaring which could annoy others nearby but loud enough to hear. When a speaker started talking in a low voice it inexplicably became completely inaudible. I could not understand what they were saying at all. Then it would get normal or too loud when the speaker spoke up. I had to turn the volume at annoying and unacceptable levels just to hear what was being said.
I tested the videos on another device with the same version of NewPipe and it was not an issue.
DOes anyone with cRdroid rom have this issue? I don't use it much for videos/audio so I don't care too much but reading this thread it seems to be an issue
If you want equalizer you need
PowerAmp Equalizer
It does all multimedia apps but games not yet.

A bit off topic, but I don't think Google has implemented anything particularly useful in Android in a few major versions.

I have been using crDroid 8.10 and I do notice the volume fluctuates, someone in a post said he thought it was magisk 25. I'm not sure yet I'm still looking into it.
