In the case when the microphone on the iPhone does not work, this causes certain inconveniences. Though electronic equipment Apple is known for its excellent quality, problems still appear. You can fix the problem on your own if you find out the cause of its occurrence.
Device malfunctioning
The reasons why the microphone does not work on iPhone can be different. First of all, malfunctions can appear due to a failure at the software level. Often the microphone does not work in the iPhone due to external negative impacts... In any case, it is not easy to carry out diagnostics on your own, since the reasons for the breakdown can be different.
The smartphone often does not work well when talking due to:
- mechanical damage to the lower microphone
- oxidation of microphone contacts due to moisture
- software glitches
If your device gets wet, you can try turning it off and drying it yourself. But in this case, there is no guarantee that it will function as before. After getting wet, you can troubleshoot the bottom microphone by using special treatment parts by chemical means, which is quite difficult to accomplish.
What can you do on your own?
If your phone stops working, there are several steps you can take yourself to help with system failures... If your Apple device stops working, follow these steps:
- check your sound settings
- reboot your device
- execute iOS update via iTunes app
If the phone does not work well during a conversation, the problem may be dust. In this case, during a conversation, the interlocutor will not hear you well. You can independently clean the mesh in the iPhone, which is located near the charging connector. If this does not help, you will have to replace the defective part.
If there is no speakerphone, before carrying the device to the master, call someone and talk into both microphones on each device - this is how you self-diagnosis when talking. If liquid gets inside iPhone, turn off the device immediately. If there is no speakerphone, the problem may be a faulty part inside the phone.
If at iPhone conversation your interlocutor speaks quietly, you cannot hear him, or you cannot be heard, the problem may be a breakdown of the smartphone speaker and the lower microphone. In order to determine the malfunction of the microphone, you can start the recorder and record sound. If the recorder writes perfectly, but the speaker of the interlocutor is silent or works quietly, then the microcircuit is out of order. The reason for the breakdown is that the part is located on the edge of the board and is attached with weak solder - as a result, it breaks down even from a slight blow. In this case, it is better to contact a specialist who will find the right decision and fix the connection.

Before carrying out repairs, the iPhone needs to be diagnosed and convinced that the microphone is really broken. In the quality control section you will find all necessary information... Then you can move on to the next stage.
Video instruction: troubleshooting
We have provided a video here that shows how replacing a microphone on an iPhone is carried out. You will be able to see how the renovation is being carried out and make the final decision.
You can watch the rest of the videos in the section quality control
In total, there are 2 options for solving the problem, so we suggest assessing the situation and making the right choice:
1. In practice, one may encounter serious problems, therefore, if in own forces you are not sure, bring the phone to the service center. We also filmed a video for quality control.
2. You can replace the microphone on your iPhone yourself. To do this, we filmed a video and provided full instructions... Buy the spare parts and tools you need for work.
The microphone on the iPhone does not work - can you hear the interlocutor, but he is not you, or vice versa? This is a frequently asked question from people who have contacted our service center. Below we will acquaint you with the most common breakdowns in which repairs are needed. microphone iPhone and typical reasons their occurrence. We will also give some recommendations for eliminating such malfunctions. But we draw your attention to the fact that several elements are responsible for the operation of the microphone and it is possible to find out which one of them is out of order only in the conditions of a service center.
Therefore, in any case, it is necessary to contact a specialist, and the sooner you decide on this, the better, since over time a situation may arise when it will no longer make sense to repair.
Our service center offers you only original spare parts and for the most low prices... This is due to the fact that it is we who extend them to the whole of Russia. And one more important fact - a guarantee is given in our workshop not only for the part installed by us, but for the entire apparatus.
Is it possible to avoid similar situations in future?
Of course, yes, if you are more attentive to the iPhone. But seriously, replacing the microphone in the iPhone 4, 4s, 5 in our workshop will be quick, efficient and reliable. We will test your device for performance and make sure it works. Think, it's not just that the guarantee is given for the entire device.
If the microphone on the iPhone does not work, then there may be such explanations.
1. The microphone itself is faulty. Problems with it occur most often from moisture ingress. If with the help of diagnostics it turns out that it is he who is "guilty", then he will have to be changed.
2. In 50% of cases, the problem with the microphone on the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 5, 5S, 5C, 4, 4S is a faulty sound control chip. It fails, in most cases, from shock and less often from moisture. As in the previous case, the defective part will have to be replaced.
3. Microphone does not work on iPhone 5, 5S, 5C when components are damaged printed circuit board, PCB tracks, etc. In 20% of cases, this occurs from moisture or shock. Only timely diagnostics will reveal the immediate cause of the breakdown.
As you can see, the main reason the microphone isn't working on the iPhone 4, 4s is moisture. But it is best to carry out the recovery procedure in a service center, where, with the help of diagnostics, it can be found out that the microphone does not work due to a failure of the installed software, therefore, the way to restore its work will be different.
What can be done at first?
In all situations when moisture gets into the mechanisms of the phone, it is necessary to dry and clean it. Otherwise, partial or complete inoperability of the device may occur. The oxidation (rusting) process takes a long time and it is impossible to say how the phone will behave after a while. The more time elapses from the moment of moisture ingress, the less likely the phone will recover.
Cost of services:
Using the table, you can familiarize yourself with the prices of our service center and compare them with other organizations offering similar services. In doing so, keep in mind the fact that we only use original spare parts. You don't want the problem to happen again soon, do you?
For instance:
A young man turned to us for help in troubleshooting a microphone. Moreover, the speakerphone did not work, and there was no sound through the headphones, the dictaphone only recorded noise. He tried through service menu changing the microphone volume does not help either. Diagnostics established a complete burnout of the sound control chip. After replacing it, everything was in order with the phone.
Let's draw conclusions.
IPhone 6, 6+, 5, 5S, 5C, 4, 4S Apple requires a careful attitude towards itself. In case of interruptions in the operation of the device, in order to avoid complications, it is necessary to immediately take it to the service center, which, after the diagnostic procedure, will eliminate the breakdown.
We continue our stories about the problems that may arise during operation with the iPhone and iPad. And today we will talk about one of the most common types of breakdowns in the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, namely, sound problems.
First, I'll tell you how it all works. Let's start with. Figuratively, the audio path in this iPhone models consists of a microphone (in fact, there are two of them), a voice speaker (it is from it that you hear the voice of the interlocutor when you put the iPhone to your ear during a call), a speakerphone, an audio mixer and an audio codec.
Microphone near the audio headphone jack, which is used for noise canceling and for voice recorder.
There are two microphones in the iPhone 4. One is the main one, located at the bottom of the case, it picks up the sound during a conversation. The second is an auxiliary one, located in the upper part of the body and serves for noise reduction and as a separate microphone, which is used by the recorder when recording sound.
Microphone that is used to transmit your voice to the interlocutor.
An audio codec is a chip Cirrus Logic 338S0589... The chip is a hardware audio decoder. For example, when you listen to music on your iPhone, this microcircuit converts the sequence of ones and zeros that make up digital file, v analog signal, which is then output to a voice speaker, loudspeaker or headphones.
The iPhone 4 uses a Cirrus Logic 338S0589 chip for audio processing.Illustration taken from ifixit.com.
An audio mixer is essentially switching device, which is responsible for the connection of the audio codec with voice and loudspeaker speakers, microphones and headphones (10C0124A0696). And when one of the above fails, problems begin.

So, what are the symptoms of iPhone breakdowns and what do they tell us?
Let's start with the disappearance of the volume level scale. For example, one day you press the volume buttons, the familiar speaker icon appears in the middle of the screen, but there is no volume scale below it. Such symptoms may indicate a failure of the dock connector cable. There is a loudspeaker on it and because of such a breakdown the audio mixer does not "see" it. Replacement of this part will cost around UAH 300-350.
Or it may indicate a breakdown of the audio mixer. It seems to be like the sound is processed in the phone, but there is nowhere to output it. By the way, in such situations, this scale appears after connecting the headphones. If everything is fine with them and the scale is visible, then the problem is most likely in the dock connector cable. The cost to restore the audio mixer will be within 800 UAH.
If the iPhone 4 goes numb completely, then this most likely indicates the premature death of the audio codec. In such cases, you cannot even start music playback in the Music.app application. And this is not surprising, because the device will simply have nothing to reproduce it. Replacing the audio codec will cost 600 UAH.
Failure of the audio mixer is accompanied by the "falling off" of one of the above listed devices to output or receive sound: speakers, headphones (headset) or microphone. For example, you may not be heard by the interlocutor, or you may not be able to hear him in the voice speaker, but only when you switch to speakerphone... Or instead of the voice of the interlocutor, there will be some kind of crackling in the voice dynamics. It is also possible that your interlocutor will not hear you during a conversation, and the dictaphone will record sound wonderfully. Let me remind you that such a situation is possible due to the fact that different microphones are used for conversation and for the operation of the recorder.
And finally, problems with sound can arise due to the failure of the speaker, microphones or headset (headphones) jack. All these breakdowns, as a rule, are covered by a breakdown of the audio codec and reveal the real reason in field conditions very hard. Replacing all of the above peripheral devices will cost from 200 to 400 UAH.
Now, briefly about the reasons for the failure of microcircuits
There are only two of them. This is usually a manufacturing defect or mechanical damage... The microcircuit breaks down and becomes operational and is no longer able to perform its function, or the microcircuit is detached from the phone board due to mechanical impact (shock, fall). The most common cause is mechanical damage.
All of the above cases are not fatal. A non-working microcircuit is replaced, and the torn one is re-soldered into place. All of the above is fully true for the iPhone 4S with the only difference that it lacks an audio mixer. Its functions are performed by an audio codec labeled Cirrus Logic 338S0987 (Apple 338S0987 B0FL1129 SGP).
All of the above damage in this moment are repaired, unless the problem occurs due to a crack in the main board. Damage like me already
One of the most common breakdowns in all iPhones is a faulty microphone. Let's take a closer look at the cause of the problem and that's it. effective ways its solutions.
There are several reasons why there may be problems with the microphone of the phone:
- Microphone mesh is dirty. This is the most common reason. Over time, the mesh that covers the microphone from dirt can accumulate too much dust. To fix the problem, you just need to clean the phone case, including the microphone itself, from dirt. This should be done with an ordinary cotton swab dipped in a drop of alcohol solution. Also pay attention to the smartphone case. It happens that it fits too tightly to the body of the device, covering the microphone. Take the phone out of the case and test it conversational dynamics;
- Software glitches - may result from incorrect installation new version iOS firmware... Also, microphone performance may be affected by third party programs that you recently installed;
- Hardware failure - disruption of the lower loop of the smartphone. Such a breakdown is often accompanied not only by the inoperability of the microphone, but also by problems with the battery charge. The only way fix the problem - replace the loop.
Change phone settings
First, check the device settings. The microphone may not be working due to too much a large number noise around. Go to the main menu. Click on the "Settings" icon. Select the "General" tab - "Accessibility". In the "Hearing" field, enable the "Phone noise reduction" option. Now test the earpiece speaker again.
Making a Hard Reset
If previous option did not help to solve the problem, reset the phone settings - Hard reset... This procedure allows you to restore the device to factory settings, getting rid of internal errors and virus software.
In the main settings window, click on the "Reset" item and in a new tab select "Reset all settings and content". Then enter the access password and wait for the device to reboot.
Rollback or update OS version
If you notice that the problem appeared after updating the phone firmware, try rolling it back to previous version... To do this, connect your smartphone to your computer, open iTunes program and click on the "Restore IPhone" button.
If your phone received an update over the air or in iTunes, install it and restart your phone. This can also improve the work of the conversational dynamics.
Replacing the bottom cable of the device
None of the generally accepted fixes have helped and the microphone on the iPhone is still not working? Then, with a probability of 99%, we can say that the lower loop, the microphone module, no longer works or is not working properly in your phone.
Before starting the repair, you must choose a flat and clean surface on which the device will be disassembled. Turn off your smartphone. Now make sure you have all necessary tools: suction cup for the case, tweezers, screwdriver, plastic spatula, new bottom cable.
Let's open the phone case. There are two screws at the bottom at the end. Unscrew them. Now you need to position the suction cup at the bottom of the display. Take the phone in your hand and hold upper part screen, pull the suction cup to open the case. Using a spatula, pry up the right and left edges and open back cover.
Place the display and back cover at a 90 degree angle without detaching them. Then we unscrew the 4 screws that hold the motherboard cover.
We remove the protective panel and disconnect all 4 cables from the board using a spatula.
Now we detach the panel shown in the figure:
We remove the battery holder and remove the device battery. Unscrew the cap:
Remove the antenna module ribbon cable.
Unscrew the following 7 screws at the bottom of the case and remove the bottom ribbon cable:
Detach the components from each other as shown in the figure:
Replace the bottom cable and microphone module part and reassemble the phone.
Any instructions on how to do it yourself Iphone repair You can find it on our website, or make a call to a specialist for to any place convenient for you.
So, with your iPhone (iPhone) 4 or 4S, problems began during a conversation with the interlocutor, the interlocutor does not hear you well or does not hear you at all, but from the microphone wired headset the interlocutor hears you well, this fact means that your iPhone is not working properly electronic component- microphone. Such a malfunction is solved only by replacing the microphone with a new one!
The main microphone in iPhone4 (4S) is located on the lower right side of the device when viewed from the front. The fourth iPhone also has an auxiliary microphone, which is used for noise canceling, located on the top, next to the audio jack. If you are hard to hear during a conversation, try to position the device so that you can speak directly into the microphone (metal mesh on the right bottom of the device). Is it better to hear? If so, most likely the mesh or the hole through which the sound enters the microphone is clogged with dust. Examine the mesh itself - it may be heavily soiled. In this case, you will have to disassemble the device in order to clean the membrane from the inside.
If you are not heard during a conversation or you cannot hear anyone through the speaker, or the phone does not make any sound when you call, but when you play music in the player everything is in order and the sound is recorded on the dictaphone, then it is obvious that the essence of the problem lies in the audio codec.
The iPhone audio codec is a chip that plays audio.
The audio codec often breaks when hit or dropped due to its increased fragility. The basis of the Cirrus Logic microcircuit (it is called the audio codec) is not made of silicon, like most microcircuits, but of ceramic. This approach provides much better signal-to-noise performance, but is detrimental to the strength of the chip. It will be possible to determine exactly that it is necessary to replace the audio codec on your iPhone only after a complete diagnosis.
Replace the iPhone 4s audio codec using original spare parts can be done at the Coremobile service center. Qualified specialists will carry out repairs as soon as possible. As a rule, the procedure does not take more than 50 minutes. Warranty for given view repair - 6 months.
