Quick Fixes:

  1. Clean the microphone hole at the bottom of your phone - debris/dust often causes this
  2. Remove your case - protective cases can block the mic opening
  3. Restart your phone - hold Power + Volume Down for 7-10 seconds

Test which mic is faulty:

  • Dial #0# → select "Loopback" → test both microphones
  • If only the top mic works, that confirms the bottom mic (used for recording) is faulty

Software fixes to try:

  • Boot in Safe Mode (Power → long-press "Power off" → tap "Safe mode") - if it works here, a third-party app is the problem
  • Check app permissions: Settings → Apps → [Recording App] → Permissions → Microphone
  • Wipe cache partition (Power off → hold Power + Volume Up → select "Wipe cache partition")

If nothing works: The bottom microphone module likely needs replacement. This is a common hardware failure on the A20e and requires repair at a Samsung service center. The part is relatively inexpensive to replace.
