OK, So i'm bumping an old post, Thank you search button. This is clearly a problem with apple products because if you google the issue, you have endless pages of people having all the same symptoms with iphones, ipads, i touch. No sound when recording video, speaker phone doesn't work but voice memo does. Hear sound no problem when using headphones with built in mic.
I am having this issue. AT first I thought it was a bad mic2. (mic on top of phone) But when I replaced it, still have same issue. Tried cleaning out hole, no result.
ANYONE know a solution to this issue. I'm not sure if upgrading to IOS6 did this. All you hear is hissing, static type sound.
