XPERIA Z microphone issue after 4.4 update

Hello Guys!

I have an XPERIA Z (C6603) UK region and I updated my device to KitKat (FW 10.5.A.0.230). But when I'm using WhatsApp, I realized my audio message was sending a silence even when I talk near the microphone. The same happens in a call app. I did a factory reset, I did a repair by Sony Update Service and PC Companion but it did not solve my problem. I flashed a 4.3 back in my device and this problem was solved, but after that I updated back to KitKat and the problem came back.

Searching in Google™ I fount some folks saying this is a software problem (and of course it is, because at Android 4.3 it works perfectly) and some of them said that this was Skype's fault. I uninstaled it, but the problem still occurs.

Does anybody have this issue? Did anybody solve it?

The last update **bleep**! I'm disappointed with Sony.

Regards.

Just wanted to say THANKS to 'zia1908' i had the same problem after update but now it's fixed!! I just turned on "clearaudio+" in audio settings and seems to be working finefor what I'd say indefinitely.
