Here is my fix for the mic problem I had till a few hours ago (mic not working while changing to speaker mode in a call), maybe I'm the only G5 owner that had this problem, but still somebody could have it too, the fix is shown in the screenshot.

Sorry if this sounds silly, but given that I'm simply a Googler that happens to have the same problem, I'd like to better understand what this fix is exactly. Is this something that developers have to do or can a normal non-tech person apply the fix that you have provided? How do I access what it is that you have shared.

If you have a rooted phone, then you just need to install a file manager that can access root folder (the best for this is in my opinion is root explorer because it has an built in text editor), and then you simply navigate to system/etc and you open up mixer_paths with the text editor option in root explorer and just simply find the lines of code in the pics I provided and change the numbers, save it, restart your phone and it should work after that.
Hope this will help to fix your problem, if yes than hit the thanks button if you want :)

I'm having a related issue that maybe you can help me with (maybe not).

My stock camera doesn't record sound, and when making Hangouts Dialer calls I don't hear anything, nor does any mic work (headset or chin mic).

However, when I hooked up a USB OTG hub to the phone, then plugged in a USB headset through the hub, everything worked fine.

Also, regular calls (and Google Voice) work fine. I'm now using Open Camera to shoot video, and that app has full functionality.

So I'm thinking this is some kind of oddball firmware issue. Any ideas?

I had the same problem. It turned out to be a "hardware" thing. There are two microphones, one at the bottom of the phone which works when on earpiece, and the second one on the top of the phone (above earpiece) which works when on speaker mode. I cleaned the first one several times without noticing there is a second one on the top. It turned out that the second microphone was blocked by some dirt. I cleaned it and now it works like a harm when on speaker mode.
