Skype issue on 5.1.1

[Sadman Khan]

Sorry for the new thread but I wasn't exactly getting any attention in the other threads where i asked for assistance.
Without earphones, skype calls work fine.

However, with earphones, the other party cannot hear me. I have tried the Echo test, which failed as well. But the echo test works without earphones. I can even record audio with the earphones but it doesn't work on skype. I have tried with two different earphones and yet the same result.

Do any of you guys have the same problem on 5.1.1? It was fine on 5.0.2.

Anyone? I could really use some help or some confirmation that it's a bug

I can confirm this. Headset microphone is not working with Skype. It should be noted that I did not do factory reset after 5.1.1, perhaps that will fix things?

Wow this is actually a huge issue. Maybe skype hasn't been updated to support 5.1.1 or something?
And no, i clean flashed too. Didn't make a difference. You will also notice that the mic stops working the moment you enable video on viber -_- i tried two different firmwares and still the same problem

I'm using Oovoo to make video calls for now but skype really is better. And oovoo is more costly in terms of internet usage

I can confirm this too. After 5.1.1 update on Z3C, I went mute on facebook messenger voice calls with headset.
I did the Xperia mic diagnostics, that went OK with headset, tried the echo123 on Skype with headset = no sound, without headset using the device mic, it was OK.

I tried several combinations of noise canceling / mic sensitivity settings with no success.

Luckily regular phone calls work with headset.

I bought recently Sony STH-30 headset to be sure it will work with Xperia phone.

UPDATE: I found a workaround, connecting headset AFTER establishing a call.

Please, confirm anyone if it works for you, thx

If you keep connecting and disconnecting the earphones, at one point it works

[Sadman Khan]

No fix. But you can try the methods in this thread. See if it works for you. Doesn't work for me >.> even the sony people over at talk.sonymobile.com are not saying anything to help

it worked for me. What I do is just let the other party answer me first (Skype) and then plug in the headset. But my question is how long will it be like this? my worries is I might destroy the headset plug. Would downgrading to kitkat solve it.

Yes downgrading works. Even 5.0.2 works. The issue lies with 5.1.1. Even plugging the headset afterwards doesn't seem to work for me. Absurd

It is working in Bluetooth Headset

I haven't tested that

 

[mikbik]

any update on this problem??

 

[Sadman Khan]

It has been solved with the latest update from Sony. The .1.200 firmware which is the latest one available now. Also, this update dramatically improves battery life. Reminds me of kitkat.
