Hi there shatteredpec,


If the microphone of your iPhone X is not working as expected, the recommendations in the 'If you want to try more steps on your own' section here can resolve what's happening: If the microphones on your iPhone aren't working


If this continues after following that, then look over this section of that article next to look into your available options:

Contact Apple Support
If you still sound unclear during calls, recordings, or apps, contact Apple Support to discuss service options.


Take care!
