Hey there!
When I bought my OnePlus 5, it came with a mic hardware defect: one worked and the other didn't. Since I live in Pakistan, I couldn't claim warranty and get it fixed. It wasn't a major issue though because the broken mic was only used for the voice recording app and shazam (a third party app that recognizes music around you).
Recently I switched to a different ROM: LiquidRemix and LineageOS. Using both the ROMs, I found that the phone app used the broken mic for calls. This is a major problem now because calling is a pretty important feature of the phone. This forced me to go back to OxygenOS.
I bought this phone because of the amazing developer support on it. Once OnePlus stops supporting the OnePlus 5, I would want to use a custom ROM as a daily driver, and that would not be possible if the mic for calls doesn't work.
So are there any apps or work around that I can use to prevent the ROMs from using the broken mic for calls?
