My brand new Intex Aqua Fish has the following microphone issue: when calling from the device, the other party doesn't receive sound. This appears when keeping the phone to my ear and speaking and when connecting headset as well. It does not appear however in speakerphone-mode. Then everybody hears everything fine. Switching back to normal mode, the issue reappears. I have run the CSD Tool (Entered *#*#310#*#*according to https://together.jolla.com/question/56805/no-sound-from-notifications/?answer=56815#post-id-56815) and it did find an error with the headset (not recording sound), but the other microphones on the device passed the tests. So it seems like a software error, at least on the device itself. Any ideas how to reset micrphone or check software dependecies/perform other tests?

The same thread you linked to also points out that this could very likely be a hardware issue and to give the phone to the sevice center. Are you in India?

I referred to that post (56815) only because of the code to start CSD, but perhaps it's a misleading reference. The problem desribed there seems different from mine. I found however another post, where they describe something very similar, but the suggested solution (by reinstalling "voicecall-ui-jolla" package: pkcon install voicecall-ui-jolla) doesn't help me. Here's the post with a similar problem: https://together.jolla.com/question/75840/microphone-not-working-during-phone-calls/

I've the same problem, also the CSD tests passed and reinstalling the package did not help. Hopefully this will be fixed soon, otherwise its unusable for me.

Same problem here! Is this a hardware issue and how to fix it on Europe? Do you have also a battery drain problem?

I sent it back to the seller and got refunded (dealsworm on amazon.com). I did not have notable battery drain.

It's only a bug in the CSD Tool. Otherwise this is about hardware failure.

I have the same issue and with the CSD Tool I have been able to find out that the lower microphone is not working. The solution could be to find a way to exchange the bottom and top microphone so the top (noise canceling) microphone gets used as the voice microphone. This should be possible but I don't know how this could be done.

Intex Aqua Fish has warranty for one year. So contact your dealer. Intex seems to provide warranty service only in India.
