Check microphone access
A microphone that is considered an error could be because the user forgot to open microphone access in a particular application. It is not uncommon for some Android phones to allow users to disable microphone access manually.
This means that even though the microphone itself is working properly, the software is blocking apps on your phone from using it.
You may have disabled microphone access accidentally and forgot to turn it back on. Therefore, try going to your cellphone settings to allow your cellphone’s audio or microphone.
Check the position of the casing
Check the position of your cellphone casing. It could be that the microphone is problematic because the casing accidentally covers the microphone port on your cellphone.
Try to adjust the position of your casing and position the casing so that the microphone port is not covered. After fixing the case, double-check the phone’s microphone by recording a voice or calling another user.
Restart the phone and update the operating system
It is not uncommon for the microphone to error due to a bug in the cellphone. Therefore, try restarting the cellphone to resolve the bug that occurs in the microphone.
If it still doesn’t work, try updating your phone’s operating system. Updating the phone’s operating system usually also helps users to revert microphone errors.
Clean the microphone port
One of the causes of a microphone error could be a dirty microphone port. A dirty cellphone microphone port due to accumulated dust can cause microphone problems. Try to clean the port with a cotton bud.
Check for third party application interference
Third-party applications are usually one of the biggest causes of microphone errors. Usually these applications interfere with your phone settings. To determine whether your microphone problem is caused by a third-party app or not, you should run your phone in safe mode, which temporarily disables all third-party apps.
Here’s how to activate safe mode on your phone when it’s on:
- Press and hold your phone’s Power button.
- On your screen, touch and hold the Power Off option.
- After that, you will see Safe mode at the bottom of your screen. Select this to reboot into safe mode.
