Microphone not working (android pad)

Support & Feedback Forum

Microphone isn’t working on my android pad (Vivo Pad2). It works on the android phone.

Microphones does work with other apps. So hardware is fine.

I gave permissions (tried all variation), restarted the pad, cleared cache, cleared data, deleted and re-installed the app.

I am running out of ideas now.

Sorry to hear that. Not sure what could be causing that. Are you on the latest app version?

Well, I re-installed yesterday. Version is 5.6.12

Also tried with and without headphone, BT on and off. Also checked with onlinemictest and it’s working fine.

Btw, when I disconnect the app chrome link and use the LingQ website on the pad recording does not work. On the windows notebook (website/chrome) it’s working fine.

What iOS version you have installed on the device?

Android 13 (OriginOS 3), Chinese often build their own OS around Android these days.

Anyway, the mic works in Chrome, and I just installed a random voice recorder from Google Play and it also works fine.

On the topic of versions, you have a collection of old LingQ APK? - I can check older ones and see if something still works.

(I just tried 5.5.40 from APKPure - same issue)

Sorry, but no, we don’t have old versions available. I’ll check if it could be somehow related to OS on your device.

Correction: My pad is based on Android 14. The mic will neither work on the LingQ app, nor LingQ in the browser (several browser tested).

Also tried the HelloChinese App - and mic recording in the app works (seems they have no browser based site)

In the meantime I tried following apps on my pad:

HelloChinese
SuperChinese
Chineasy

All are working with the microphone.
