Samsung S21 bottom mic not working

Recently suddenly my bottom mic is not working. No damage or moisture as far as I can recall.

So I whilst I can send voice notes and record voice recordings- they are silent

People can't hear me in Instagram live.

Done restart, cleaned mic, done safe mode but not have proved successful.

Anyone else had this please and any advice?

    Had same issue if You use 'SPEAKER' function it will work, same if You got Bluetooth headphones will work. Only fix is replace it with new one (I got rid off the phone to be honest)

    Very strange. I'm adamant it's a setting that needs changing

    this happened on my husband's poco phone and we found there was a blockage in the hole leading up to the microphone. have a look to see if there is any blockage.
