Description

I've experienced this on two phones in slightly different ways, but Nextcloud likes to mute the microphone during the lock screen or something like that.

On my Galaxy S2 running LineageOS when I lock the phone my microphone stops working and after unlocking I hate to mute then unmute the microphone for it to work again.
On my friend's Huawei P30 Lite it mutes whenever the phone is locked and unmutes when unlocked.

Research direction

No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by reproducing the microphone behavior during lock and unlock on the reported Android devices, then trace the call audio handling involved; done means the microphone state behaves correctly across locking and unlocking without requiring a manual mute toggle.
