Interesting now that I have this issue myself. For me, seems to co-incide with the lastest upgrade (but others around me have the same model and upgrade without issue).


Symptoms I have:

Microphone does not work for telephone calls.

Apple headset does

Speaker does (isn't it the same mic?)

All internet/facetime/camera application all have microphone working.


Also try blowing or tapping on the mic - this can be heard by the receiver of the call.


Also if you put your mouth right up to the mic (ie over the bottom of the phone) a 'garbled but understand dialogue can be heard, but move the phone away from the mouth at any distance, dialogue at the receiver discontinues.


It looks like the reset is the answer, but I haven't done one yet, until I've eliminated all possibilities.


Anyone identified a setting or cause (and therefore solution) as yet?
