Preliminary operation
Check the connections

If the problems persist even after unplugging the earphones, skip ahead to reading the next directions. If, on the other hand, the problems seem to be shared, then most likely the cause of the poor audio quality found is attributable to the earphones you use.
In this case, if they are wired earphones, make sure that they are correctly connected to the headphone jack or the Lighting connector and, of course, if not, make the connection correctly, making sure that the connector is perfectly inserted into the appropriate connector. compartment on the iDevice.
If, on the other hand, the earphones you are using are connected to the iPhone via Bluetooth, make sure that the connection between the two devices has been made correctly by going to the home screen of the device. To do this, tap on ifttings di iOS, cheap with Bluetooth and making sure that the earphones you are using are also listed among the avaelable devices.

Check the microphone
If you are not using headphones connected to your iPhone and / or if despite carrying out the above operations you are stell unable to raise the volume of the iPhone microphone, first of all I suggest you make sure that the problem actually concerns the microphone. or if, as sometimes happens, it is instead attributable to the poor quality of your operator's network in the area in which you are located.
To do this, go to the home screen of your iPhone, press the app Voice memos and record a short audio clip by pressing the button circular colored red in the center to start and stop recording. Then press the button in the shape of speaker located in the upper right corner of the screen to play the voice memo from the speaker to receiving and vice versa, then tap on the button Play to start playback.
If you hear the voice memo and the audio quality seems normal, there is no distortion, crackle or rustle due to static electricity, then most likely the problem is with the operator's network or answering system. In this case, try making and answering phone calls in an area other than the one you are in and where there is a greater degree of reception.
If, on the other hand, you stell can't hear the audio or the quality is poor, try one of the solutions below to try and deal with it.

I recommend, the brush or the brush must be strictly dry, clean and must be passed gently on the holes present in correspondence of the microphone.
As for the front microphone and the lower ones, you can also try to free the iPhone microphone from any obstructions by getting a small office vacuum cleaner and use it near the receiver holes for about ten seconds. With any luck, you should be able to clear the obstruction and fix the malfunction without further action.
