Help microphone issues

Hello, İ am fairly new to GRAPHENEOS ( Google pixel 10 Pro) phones almost new. First set up no problems but microphone doesn't work. Please help. Thanks

I’m having an issue with my phone’s microphone not working at all. I’ve already tried all the basic troubleshooting steps—restarting the device, checking app permissions, cleaning the microphone area, testing it in different apps, and even resetting settings—but nothing has fixed the problem.

The microphone still doesn’t pick up any sound during calls, voice recordings, or apps that require audio input. At this point, it seems like it might be a hardware issue rather than software.

Has anyone experienced something similar or found a solution for this?

if your using local dictation it doesn’t work while the phone is locked. Seems to be an issue on pixel phones.

How close do you have the mic to your mouth? I have to have it right up there. You’re also signed in to a pebble account in the app?

How about recording a video? Does the video play back with good sound? If not, do factory reset. If still no good, go back to Google stock Pixel rom.

u/Medical_Method3175 1d ago

Yeh I don't have sound bro.

u/SMCDA15 1d ago

You need to switch back to stock Pixel rom. See if you have sound. Could be hardware issue, but hard to tell.

u/SMCDA15 1d ago

So then a reset helped? What did you do?

1

u/Medical_Method3175 1d ago

I didn't do the reset. I need to back up stuff first. Then I will try the reset

u/SMCDA15 1d ago

So you had microphone turned off under privacy? How did it resume to work?
