Can't open microphone!!

[Rmbrown1964]

This just started happening yesterday. When I hit the Google microphone tells me " can't open microphone" please help. I can talk on the phone no problem. When I open a voice recorder it doesn't work it says there is another voice open. I rebooted my phone (pulled the battery) went in the setting to see if there is another voice app open. Please help thank you

Clear cache ---> Setting application manager chrome and google apps. Clear cache on chrome setting if not uninstalled google chrome and install it again. Hope help ☺

Found the problem!

If you have the app audiko ringtones uninstall it and your mic will work instantly it worked perfectly for me. When I went s voice it told me that another app was using my microphone so I remembered that app that I just installed deleted it and boom my mic is fixed
