| iOS 12: No audio device found in iPhone 7 |
Due to this issue while on call the other person can’t hear me and also I am not able to hear anything on call. The issue is frequent. Even if you open siri and try to say something siri won’t respond and stays as nothing is told. So test the microphone when tried to record a video with sound and later checked the video did not have any sound in it. But only records sound if connected to headset with mic. Looks like iPhone can’t hear me after the update. It seems like the microphone is not working ager iOS 12.2/ iOS 12.3.
