Was the device water damaged? Or maybe did a drop break the microphones? In that case it could be a motherboard

There are 3 microphones in the iPhone.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203792

  • The bottom microphone is for Voice Memo and phone calls. The other microphones serve as error cancellation
  • The (top) front microphone is used for FaceTime calls, Siri and selfie videos with the front camera (FCAM). The top back microphone serves as error cancellation
  • The (top) back microphone is used for videos with the rear camera (RCAM). The top front microphone serves as error cancellation

Make sure you update your device to the latest version of iOS and then try to isolate which microphone is not working properly by trying each individual microphone with the related apps above. Check the microphone port holes for dust and debris which could be attenuating the sound.

If the issue affects more than one microphone, then it could be the Audio Codec IC on the logic board. Anything at the logic board level will require micro-soldering so you would need to find a repair shop that offers those services.

I have a similar problem with my iPhone XR. When using the camera app the sound in the videos cuts out or is not audible at all. Sometimes I just hear a hiss. When tapping the phone those sounds are heard though.

I used the Filmic Pro app that allows you to select the input mic and it appears to be a faulty backside mic. Front and side mic seem to work OK. I guess It’ll need to be opened up to fix this.

Any tips?
