Description

Let's begin with a checklist: Replace the empty checkboxes [ ] below with checked ones [x] accordingly. -->

  • This isn't a feature request or a discussion topic

Bug description

Unable to send voice message, always at 0.00 and the person I am calling is not hearing me. Seems like an issue with microphone access or drivers.
***Microphone permission is already allowed on iPhone

Tried to reinstall the App, cleared the app data, but the issue remains.

I've checked this with my friends iPhone 14 pro ma (same iOS and Same Signal Version, no issues), this seems to only affect iPhone 13 pro

Steps to reproduce
  • Call a person using signal in iPhone 13 pro, the other person will not be able to hear you
  • Same for voice message, it's always 0:00 seconds
  • When you create a video status on Signal, no voice only video

Actual result: Describe here what happens after you run the steps above (i.e. the buggy behaviour)

Expected result: Describe here what should happen after you run the steps above (i.e. what would be the correct behaviour)

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Signal iOS debug log and reproducing the microphone failure on an iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 17.0.3 with Signal 6.45.0.11. Check calling, voice-message recording, and video-status capture; done means microphone audio works in all three cases.
