After the Android 16 update on my Galaxy A15 (AT&T version), my main mic stopped working completely. Before the update everything was fine. I figured it might’ve been a software glitch, so I did a full factory reset from recovery, updated to the newest security patch, and made sure all apps have mic access. Still nothing.
I ran the Samsung Members diagnostic test and it shows:
First mic: issues detected
Second mic: normal
So the secondary mic (top one) works, but the main mic (bottom one that’s used for calls and recordings) isn’t picking up at all. It’s crazy because this only started right after Android 16, and the latest patch didn’t fix it either.
If anyone from Samsung sees this, please pass it on to the software team. It feels like a driver issue, not hardware, since it happened right after the update.
