I have a Galaxy A54, and about a month ago the microphone stopped working the first few times I try to use it, no matter the app that's using it. I've tried it with Telegram, Whatsapp, the voice recorder, and even Duolingo - none of them work the first or second time I try to use the microphone

I haven't had any problems while recording a video or making a call, and I've used the Diagnostics option from the Members app to check that both mics are functional. When it finally starts picking up noises, the quality is good. However, there have also been a few times when the mic HAS picked up the audio on the first try, but it has recorded it with the in-call quality. I usually have to do it twice at least to get it to work.

Does this have anything to do with recent updates? Has anyone had this problem?

I would REALLY appreciate any solutions.
