Mic on VRC mobile is too low to be picked up
Salantaliss
Hello, I've seen many people who report this bug of their mic being choppy/cutting out/glitching, whether from the very moment they open vrchat or after a while, but this isn't the issue I'm talking about and I don't know if I have it myself since I have a different issue.
The issue I'm having is that the mic is too low it barely picks up anything in the first place (I'm not speaking quietly, and have tried a couple of mic inputs, everything works fine on other apps but not in vrchat), I have microphone activation threshold on 5% and microphone output on 100% yet no difference can be observed. I also tried clearing cache, data, and even reinstalling but nothing changed.
I didn't see anyone talk about this issue so it is also possible that it is an issue on my end only.
My phone is Honor 200, Model ELI-NX9.
I'm busy right now but I'll provide details whenever I can.

Extremely Low Microphone Input Volume

I already tried to address this issue in a bug report I made a while ago, however it seems that it has been overlooked, whether it's because it wasn't important enough, not explained clear enough by me (excuse me for my poor english), it has already been considered and I'm not addressing something new (even though I didn't see anyone talk about it), or for whatever reason, but this is understandable considering the pressure put on the devs and the various issues they're already working on (even though I think is a major/important issue).
I apologize for the long introduction and I'll dive straight into the issue without any further ado.
The issue is that basically my voice in vrchat is too low, even though the microphone strength is set on 100% and the mic activation threshold is set on 0, my voice barely passes the threshold, I tested many times, when I open my mic and try to say something to my friends, either they don't hear anything, or they hear "something" when I raise my voice, but they do not hear me saying "hello? Can you hear me?", they don't hear any clear words, they probably hear faint muffled sound, and by "when I raise my voice" I meant when I raise my voice till the point that I sound like I'm scolding my little sibling in real life, this is how "low" my voice is picked up in vrchat.
I've tried many ways to check if I can fix the issue on my end, tried changing many settings, different mic input types (wireless/bluetooth, wired), I cleared cache, data, reinstalled the app, but nothing was fixed.
My phone details:
-Device Name: Honor 200
-RAM: 12 GB RAM
-Model: ELI-NX9
-Android Version: 15
I apologize for the wall of text, thought that an in detail explanation was required, If there is anything missing or anything that you want me to add please let me know, and thanks for your continuous hard work.
