Bought one of these tablets from a Texas Vendor and we're coming up a steep learning curve - with a heavy emphasis on using the "discovery method" due to limited information from the tablet maker.
We are experiencing trouble with the built-in microphone barely working.
We tried Skype loop test and Google's voice search.
Skype playback is barely audible and badly muffled.
Google's voice search shows it is sensing the sound from the microphone but it's speech to text response is poor.
A few apps we downloaded to view input waveforms verify that only very loud audio is sensed.
The only info found on this was in a Developer's Forum site which described problems with the interface to a AML-MI-ES8388 chip that handles input/output of sound. The conversation was about creating driver software for this chip that would fix this microphone problem.
Please post if you own one of these tablets and are experiencing microphone problems.
Any added information or insights are appreciated.
P. S. not sure if this is related....
At first the speaker output was very low even with the volume set at max.
But, for some reason today the volume jumped up to a tolerable level.
Perhaps this happened when the earphone was plugged/unplugged and made for a better speaker connection at the microphone jack?
(As expected, volume using earphone buds is higher because these buds require less power.)
