iPhone 7 static noise from bottom microphone

Hello,

I have an iphone 7 and apparently the bottom mic is recording just static noise and nothing else when recorded with the voice memo apple inbuilt app and other sound recording applications from the store.


The front and the rear mic works perfectly, so normal calling works perfect as well as with siri. 

But certain apps such as whatsapp, hangouts, duo, during a normal call the other person can't hear anything but when put on  speaker they can.

I have used an application (rec lite) which lets u record voice from all the 3 in built mics individually and the bottom one seems to be the issue (only static noise being recorded).

Could you please tell me what the problem would be and how could i get it fixed?

Thank you so much

The bottom microphone is on the Lightning Flex. You can replace this yourself by following this guide.

Will replacing the connector solve the problem? Or Does it look like an audio ic issue?

by

doubt its audio ic or it normally says recording failed.

thank you chris, i'm still waiting for the whole adapter to arrive. I'll replace it and update if it fixes it.

Static is not a typical symptom of an Audio IC issue.

i took it to a local repair shop and they said, they will try replacing some kind of belt?

Do you think that might help the case?

Or is it more of the whole lightning port with microphone adapter issue?
