Low Mic Volume in Lumia 720

Hi....
I just bought 720 a week ago...the mic volume is very low and very noisy.,.its really frustrating

Seems like a hardware problem, take it back to the place you bought it from for a replacement or to a Nokia Care Point to have it checked.

Low mic volume today, was fine yesterday

I have an alienware laptop that I had just recieved for Christmas. Friends and I have been playing games while talking via Skype for a few weeks, and everything has been fine.
Today, when we went to play, my three friends told me that my mic volume was incredibly low. I checked all my settings, everything is maxed as far as I can tell, and absolutely nothing was changed in between the last time we played and now. (I literally turned my laptop off the last time we played, and powered it back on to this issue)
I can answer any questions.

i am suddenly having this problem as well.
i have tried trouble shooting this problem many ways but it never quite works. i will list what i have done so far.
1) tested with another mic. same effect
2) maxed the mic volume in the skype settings
3) tested with another audio recording software. mic still works great
4) tried resetting everything i could think that would help (computer, skype, skype settings)
5) when i tried resetting skype settings by going into appdata and changing the skype file into Old_Skype forcing skype to reload its settings, it would appear to work wonderfully when i started up the software. it would walk me through the setup settings and the bar that shows mic volume was going up to my voice as it normally does. then after setup and i get into a test call, my mic is back to sounding incredebly quiet.
6) i went into sound setting and tried many combinations concerning mic boost which was already up, tried disableing software setting override, tried disableing all sound effects. all still nothing.
i am using a turtle beach x12 but that shouldent be the problem because a logitech i have is having the same problem. i am running on windows 8.1 i have tried skype calls with friends they all say my mic is very quiet. much much quieter than normal, even when yelling into the mic. if i think of anything else you may need or if you ask for it i will add to the post.
thank you all
Edit: after more testing i may have discovered the problem. skype is only detecting my onboard mic and is trying to use that (im using a laptop). how can i get skype to detect my turtle beach headset? other programs seem to just fine
Edit 2: disreguard the first edit. when speaking into the mic in a way that the on bord mic wouldn't be able to pick up, skype got the sound i was sending into my headset mic. still quietly but somewhat louder because i was closer to the mic on the headset

Low Mic Volume

Just a quickie
I do a bit on voice over editing via my Studio software, but the microphone volume is very low, I've tried different mics and fiddling with the settings but no joy.
Is there something I have missed?

Have you checked "Mic Db boots" option from mixer advanced properties?
Also navigate to Realtek installation folder and execute "miccal.exe" to calibrate the Mic.

Lumia 720 Low Audio Volume and % consumption on li...

Lumia 720 has low volume when nokia ear phones are used. At 15 volume without the ear phones attached the sound is great and loud but when they are connected I need to increase the volume to 25!
And also when I listen to music my battey drops 1% per song why is that?

Hi Aseem186,
Built-in speakers and earphones has a lot of differences when it comes to loudness. It is normal that the speaker is much louder than the earphones. However, the earphones can provide you a great sound quality as it has stereotyped sound.
About your concern about the battery life when playing music, do you have open apps other than the music player? Are you connected to Wi-Fi or is your phone's Bluetooth enabled?

Lumia 720 volume down button not working

Hey buddies, I'm using lumia 720 and often i get this volume down button not working.
I changed the button by giving it in nokia care for 3times and still im facing the same problem.
And also noticed that this is happening to most of the lumia 720's.
so kindly look into it and rectify the problem as soon as possible.
If there is any solution for this, kindly reply me.
Thanks in advance...!

Your only solution would be to return the unit back to nokia care for inspection,if there is a recurring issue with this im sure nokia would be aware of it now,and it could be a slight manufacturing defect which again would be looked into.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
Now using the Lumia 1520

Nokia Lumia 720 down volume button not working aft...

Hi just got my Lumia 720 25 days back and now i'm having this issue going on started from today after I wake up my phone the down volume button does not work for a while. What i noticed is until i press the Up volume button the down volume button does not respond anuthing. Is that a software problem ? Because i feel like if i press it little harder than usual it start working fine.
Not sure what to do ? Like it will get resolved with an upcoming update or an hardware issue ? Should I need to check with the Nokia Care.
I already tried to do a soft reset thrice but it still the same. Someone please help !
Thanks in advance.

Even I have the same issue with my Newly purchased nokia lumia 720... Sometime the volume down buttons works perfectly and with time is doesn't work at all is this a software issue... i am facing this since i have downloaded an audio update.... i m tired of resetting the settings i am tired visiting service centers, as they are asking me to leave my phone for 15-20 days as the part is not available with them and my question is. if there is a hardware issue then is should stop working but in my case sometimes it works as perfect as the day i bought the device and sometimes it doesn't work at all. Will this issue be fixed with Amber update... What is the appropriate solutions for this matter please reply......

Mic Volume Too Low

Hi,
My mic volume is too low, it seems to be working from the inside of my mac so every key is higher than my voice and my trackpad clicks too. I've searched here and there is no solution for this. Yet... I uninstalled Podcaster (Livestream software) to see if that's the problem but it's not.

I did that and it didn't work, also I notice Skype auto adjusts my volume, so everytime somebody elses talks it goes down, but doesn't go back up after they end. But it's still low, to talk I have to get closser to the keys to talk through them I guess.
In Facetime is just low, volume is not adjusted.

Lumia 720 vibration too too low

I have a LUMIA 720 and its simply awesome.
But I have an issue.
When in office, I usually put my phone on virbation only. Now if I put my phone on the desk, the vibration is so so so so damn low I can hardly feel it, only when the phone is in hand I can feel the vibration else I keep missing calls.
Is there a way to increase the vibration intensity? I just keep missing calls
Thanks
Amit
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had the same problem with my Lumia 920 and it's now in Nokia Care hands to solve it (second time, because they fixed the GPS issue first and didn't do anything about the vibration).

Lumia 720 volume down key

Recently the volume down key on my lumia 720 has stopped working. It works sometimes if I restart my phone but again stops after a while. I am also unable to soft reset the phone because the volume down key is not working. It does not seem like a hardware issue because it works sometimes. Please guide what can be done for this.

If its a hardware problem then you will need to have it checked out at your local Nokia Care Point.

Issues Volume Keys of Lumia 720

Volume Keys of my Lumia 720 particularly down key is not responding within few days of use. It happened to my neighbor also.

My down volume key has not worked for weeks. I haven't used the camera button for a while either and just realized it doesn't work... sort of! So when I have the camera on and I press the camera button, the camera lens will refocus... but it doesn't snap the pic.
When I press the camera button and the camera app is not open, the button does nothing...unless! Unless I simultaneously press the down volume key! So the key does work!!! But it doesn't reduce the volume and it must be depressed at the same time as the camera button in order for the camera button to work. I tried using the volume down key instead of the camera button and it is still inoperative. So! The camera button will only work when I press the volume down key at the same time.The volume key still doesn't work.
Any thoughts?
p.s. don't tell me to press the volume down key and the power key at the same time to do a soft reset. I've tried that. The volume down key doesn't function properly and will not soft reset the phone. I've tried a hard reset and even updated to 8.1. None of that has worked. I bought the phone new on eBay via India. I'm a US user. The phone has no warranty.

Volume problem in lumia 720

Got my 720 about a month back. Every thing looks and feels fine, but recently a problem is just irritating me.
If I select a song from albums in music +videos the volume is not changing, its struck on the volume you opened the song and if I go back increase to some number and again play it the song plays at the volume you changed, but during the song the volume is not at all changing. The volume number changes but not the sound.
If anybody found it on your phones and got rectified please help me fix it. Thanks in advance.

I bought lumia 720 abut 2 weeks ago, the volume function was working fine then. i have been facing the same problem since i started listening to music in 'NOKIA MIX RADIO' as now the music store is updated to this. i had downloaded all my songs from the store, but the volume function is not working while the song is running, i have to change the song to change the volume. and the problem is coming in all the songs except a few in which the volume is functioning. the audio settings (dolby effect and audio leveling) are not solving the issue.
i have noticed one thing that the problem is not coming if i play my downloaded songs from 'my music' option in 'nokia mix radio', but it is coming when i play them from 'music and videos'.

Nokia Lumia 1020 Very Low Earpiece Volume

Hi
My Nokia Lumia 1020 has very low earpiece volume. At even maximum volume one can find it really hard to hear. I have brushed off any dust etc.. but still the problem persists. I have also read other users facing similar problems. What a pity that such a great phone cannot fulfil basic purpose of having a phone. What's the solution as I want to switch back to Samsung note 3.
