Phone: Redmi 4X (santoni)
Xiaomi.eu: 8.7.19 (weekly)


How to reproduce:
Record a voice message on an app such as Telegram or WhatsApp, and play it.
Expected result: The recording has good volume.
What happens: Recording is fairly low and some words can be hard to understand. When I play my friends' messages, the volume is much louder in comparison.

Hi!
I have the same issue with my Redmi4x. The microphone volume is very low during phone calls or during voice recording.
If you have any solution i am very curious :)

Hi there!

I'll tell you what I've found until now. :)

  • I used tons of custom ROMs and most of them also have this issue. AOSP Extended (at the time I used 20180519 version) is one exception. Sound recording was loud and clear. A bless!

  • On other custom Oreo ROMs I was able to solve the issue editing some files under /vendor/etc.

  • On Xiaomi.eu I couldn't find a solution yet!
    I flashed a Magisk module (this one) that seems to improve the quality and the volume a bit, but still faaar from good.
