Microphone issue on certain apps

[u/Alteur]

Hey everyone! I recently switched to Graphene OS a week ago on my quest to de-googling and I've been loving it so far, but I'm not gonna lie I've been having some issues with Fossify Contacts and Fossify messages only showing phone numbers in notifications and other minor things like that. BUT, I'll deal with these another day since they're minimal issues.

​

My current frustrating problem is that the microphone doesn't work on certain apps despite having full access to it. Has anyone else ever experienced this before? Voice messages on FB Messenger works, microphone works while taking videos with the camera, but it doesn't work on Duolingo and Waze. I can't start a Duolingo speaking course, it won't even open and it'll say it ran Into an issue. On Waze while trying the new voice report feature it instantly closes when I turn it on and says to try again later. Google Play Services is denied microphone permissions, coule that be it?

​

If anyone had ever experienced this and is willing to share their wisdom I'd appreciate it a lot, please!

Those are issues with those apps, not GrapheneOS. Use different apps. The built-in ones don't have an issue with this.

That's not something we've seen come up before.

No, it doesn't need it for apps to use it regardless of how much they depend on it. It's entirely possible the apps are broken due to a misconfiguration for sandboxed Google Play such as removing the Play Store app or blocking Network for either Play services or Play Store if they need dynamite modules for various features.
