Microphone issues only with Siri

Microphone issues only with Siri

I have a bit of an odd issue that I thought would be a quick fix, but has proved to leave me scratching my head.

Same here everybody, on my 6+, Siri and voice to text stopped working. I was told to use compressed air on the front mic that is in the ear speaker. I don't use a lot of PSI pressure, but after doing this, both Siri and voice to text start working again. I would like to mention that I have had to do this 2 times in the last 2 months. As soon as I can, I will be switching to a life-proof case. I can only hope that doing that will keep the problem from coming back. Hope this helps someone. Take care.

"The problem might be the Mic next to the ear speaker.

Michel Lavache commented about this in the following post Mic issues after screen replacement"

"My father had the same problem. He took it to the Apple Store and they replaced the glass screen. Apparently the 6 has three microphones and the one for Siri is the same one for face time which is located in the speaker for the ear piece next to the camera on the front of the phone. After the Apple Store replaced the screen which apparently has a

new mic attached to it. The phone worked almost better than new as far as Siri goes."

"Try replacing the front camera/mic cable assembly.

If still not working, I'm afraid you have to do board level repair."
