If when talking on Xiaomi phone If your interlocutor has stopped hearing you, then there may be two reasons. The first is that your interlocutor’s speaker is broken. The second reason is that the microphone on your phone is damaged.
Don’t rush to take your smartphone for repairs. Specifications and Xiaomi functions allow you to independently identify the cause, and in some cases even fix the problem yourself.
Checking the microphone for physical damage
Before looking for the cause of a malfunction in the device system, you need to visually check the microphone itself. The cause may be a blockage or moisture ingress. It is possible that the device does not work due to the so-called “lag”, that is, the phone simply turned off and needs to be rebooted.
On every phone Android based There are hidden engineering functions. These functions are hidden from the user in case of accidental settings failure. Hidden menu serves developers rather than ordinary Android owners, as they are necessary for final testing of the device. They will allow you to test the operation of all Xiaomi systems and identify problems.
To reveal what's hidden engineering menu for everyone Xiaomi smartphones, you need to open the “Settings” section, go to the “About device” menu and click on the “Kernel version” section five times.
The menu that opens will display five sections:
- Automatic Test - allows you to test all phone parameters automatically.
- Single Item Test - will analyze each system separately.
- Test Report - will show the test result.
- SW add HW version - will display the Xiaomi version.
- Device View - will provide information about Xiaomi equipment.
To test only the microphone, you need to go to the “Single item test” section. This menu can be opened directly by entering the combination in the telephone dialer *#*#6484#*#* or *#*#4636#*#* . The menu contains more than 25 tests of various phone systems and components:
- Key - buttons;

To test the microphone operation, select the loopback test or on other Xiaomi versions"Microphone" section. The system will require you to connect the headset to the phone and speak into the microphone. The system sensor will show the strength of the work and play sound through the headphones. If the test shows that recording is not taking place and the sensor does not show strength, then the failure is not related to the Xiaomi settings.
How to enable and configure the microphone in MIUI
Sometimes even an incorrectly selected case can cause the microphone to work normally. Incorrect Xiaomi settings or incorrect operation of applications may be the cause of the malfunction. Problems can be resolved manually.
Noise suppression
If during a conversation the interlocutor cannot hear you or there is an echo, rustling, or crackling sound in the speaker, then the noise reduction function may be disabled in the settings of your phone. To activate it in the settings in the “Sound and Vibration” section, next to the word “Noise Reduction”, move the slider to the “On” mode.
If the function is activated, but the interlocutor hears interference during a conversation, you should try turning it off.
OK Google
Ok Google voice assistant may be causing the microphone to not work properly on your Xiaomi. To disable the service, select the “Google” section in “Settings”, then in the “Search” section, disable the “Voice Identifier” function. After the completed operation, reboot the device.
Microphone does not work when calling
Problems are sometimes related to glitches in the Xiaomi device itself. If the system is overloaded, it may malfunction. If you have recently used a headset, and then noticed that the microphone does not work, then pay attention to the top panel of the display - there is a headset icon. The device may mistakenly recognize the headset even if it is not present. In this case, you need to reconnect and disconnect the headset or restart your smartphone.
The microphone only works on speakerphone
On Xiaomi devices two microphones that are located on the top and bottom of the phone. If the main microphone fails, you can test the operation of the second microphone by turning on speakerphone.
The microphone located at the bottom of the phone provides the talk function during a call, and the top one provides noise reduction and the hands-free talk function. If you can only talk through the speakerphone, then the problem lies in the main microphone.
Many problems with Xiaomi devices, including problems with the microphone, are explained system errors. To eliminate them, you need to test systems and components or restart the phone. It happens that system requirements phones become outdated and require updating, which causes system failures. Try updating, after which all phone systems will restart.

Ask to call back
If you still can’t hear the caller, there is another way to restore sound - it is necessary for your interlocutor to call himself, and for you to pick up the phone. This may work if the reason lies not in mechanical, but in software damage.
Sometimes you can simply not see and turn off the microphone during a call. This is especially true for modern Android and iOS devices.

technical issues
All the above tips do not always help, since the reason for the lack of volume may be mechanical in nature. We list the damage that causes the microphone to stop working:
- Inside the speaker there is a magnetic coil, the turns of which are connected to contacts on the board. One of these turns may break, leading to failure of the part.
- There are phone models where the speaker is connected to the board via a cable. Such a wire can simply break or come off the connector.
- It is possible that the track on the microcircuit, which is responsible for supplying power to the microphone and speaker, may be erased.
- To convert and transmit sounds, a special microcircuit is provided in the design of the device; it can also burn out or be mechanically damaged after a strong impact.
- The volume button also does not last forever and often breaks when the sound is turned off.
