I've never had any real problems with this phone, however last night my microphone just went out all of a sudden with no drops, spills or accidents. Now my calls or voice search/typing won't go work, but I can hear the other person on calls they just can't hear me. Somehow it works on speakerphone a lil bit hear and there also? I am so confused and I have owned just about every phone out in the past 10 years. This has never happened on any other phone, ever.

Does anyone have a solution? I've searched everywhere, I also did a wipe cache partion, did nothing. I don't want to do a factory reset because I have a lot on my phone and don't want to set it all up again. The note 5 was my favorite phone I've ever owned until now...

Check the primary mic's opening, and make sure it isn't blocked by anything like dirt or lint. Use the tip of a safety pin or needle, and gently​ scrape it out.
