If your phone's microphone is broken and voice messages are completely silent, it's particularly annoying in everyday life – especially in 1130 Hietzing, where you often want to reply quickly on the go via WhatsApp, Signal, or iMessage. You often only notice the problem when the recipient writes: "I can't hear anything." The cause can be harmless, such as dirt in the microphone opening, but a defective microphone, a damaged flex cable, or a software error are also possibilities. At ClickInternet in Vienna, we check your smartphone quickly, professionally, and without an appointment, so you can make calls and record voice messages intelligibly again.
What to do when your phone's microphone is broken (voice messages are completely silent)? Immediate Actions
- Restart your phone and then test a voice message again in WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, or the voice memo app.
- Check if the microphone is only silent in one app or if it also doesn't work during calls, videos, and voice recordings.
- Remove cases, screen protectors with dust edges, or accessories that might be covering the microphone opening.
- Do not clean the microphone opening with needles or metal objects, as this can damage the microphone grille or internal components.
- Come in for a free diagnosis if the recording remains silent or only static, crackling, or extremely quiet sounds can be heard.
Why a broken phone microphone (voice messages are completely silent) needs professional help
A silent phone microphone can have several technical causes: clogged microphone channels, moisture damage, a defective sub-board, damaged flex connections, faulty audio ICs, or app and system problems. DIY repair is risky because modern iPhones, Samsung, Huawei, and Xiaomi devices are compactly glued, and opening them can quickly damage the display, battery, Face ID components, charging port, or antennas. Professional diagnosis is important to avoid unnecessary parts replacement when perhaps only a software problem or a dirty microphone opening is present.
- Voice messages are recorded completely silently, even though the phone can be operated normally.
- During calls, the other person cannot hear you at all or only very faintly.
- Videos have no sound or only dull static, crackling, or dropouts.
- Sound works with headphones or Bluetooth, but not via the built-in microphone.

What does a broken phone microphone (voice messages are completely silent) cost at ClickInternet?
