iPhone 14 Pro - microphone doesn’t work on voice calls? Recently when making or receiving voice calls on my iPhone Pro I have noticed that the other party on the call cannot hear me if I have my phone in normal handset mode, however if I switch to speaker mode they can hear me fine? I’ve recorded voice notes to the phone to check the mic and they are also clear? I have also cleaned the speaker/mic area in the event there was dust/debris in the mic, again no improvement in mic quality on calls…when making receiving calls I am now forced to use Speaker mode or my earbuds to have a conversation??? I am current on all recent releases to the phone. Any thoughts or advice as to next steps here?

iPhone 7 microphone doesn’t work and graded out how do I fix it when I try to make a call it rings on speaker with the speaker button graded out and once the other person answers I can’t hear them and they can’t hear me. Also when I text and try to use my microphone it doesn’t work. I can’t FaceTime. My music still plays thru my speaker but when I make a call I can’t hear anything and neither can the person on the other line. Helppp. I think I hit the wrong button somewhere I just don’t know how to fix it.
