Hello!
A piece of my headphone's plug broke stuck in the line-in for my Nexus 5, so the phone stuck in Headphone mode (as the piece forces on pins i guess). I started to use SoundAbout to force between earpiece and speakers for different scenarios. Everything works fine, i can make normal phone calls, listen to media and stuff, but i can't make Viber calls. I can hear Viber's ringtone, and i can hear the participant's voice, but they can't hear me. I tried to mess with SoundAbout to try different settings, to no avail. It's as if with Viber the mic is completely turned off or something.

Has anyone stumbled upon on something similar? Maybe with WhatsApp, Skype? Is there a workaround for this?

I know i should open the phone, try to get rid of the piece in the line-in, but i just haven't done it yet.

I'm running on Android 5.0.1

Thanks for any suggestions!
