Voice recording bug on iPhone X?

Anybody else having problem with voice recording on some apps on their iPhone X? I first discovered the problem when I tried to use the Sleep Cycle app. When I open the Sleep Cycle app, it keeps crashing. I contacted their developer and told me to try the Voice Memo app of Apple, I hit the record button and it's not recording, it looks like it's recording but the timer is not running and it just stops after a couple of seconds and nothing ever recorded. I tried another voice recording app called Recordium and it's the same problem. I then tried the Clips app of Apple and it will record videos but no sound recorded. The microphone access are enabled.


The thing is it has no problem recording sounds in the iMessage app. Voice messaging, Animoji and dictation works. Siri works and can understand. The Camera app works in recording video and sounds. So I think it's not a hardware issue. My iPhone X was restored from an iPhone 7+ backup. I've tried shutting it off and then on. Force restart and nothing works. The only thing I have not tried is to set up the iPhone X as a new iPhone.


Before I do the last option, I want to check if anyone else is having the same problem and that it might be just a software bug. Any help or advise will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

iPhone X, iOS 11.1

Hi, I had exact same problem but I’ve found the problem, my last phone’s earpiece was failing so I had turned on hearing aid compatibility mode which helped a little on that last iPhone t had but when I installed my backup from iTunes to the X it seems to have copied my settings as I’ve just found the setting was enabled, I turned it off and now it works like a charm. Just go to general, accessibility and make sure hearing aid compatibility is turned off, this sorted the problem for me, hope it works for you 👍
