Am no expert in this area, yet your request deserves some response. A few settings suggestions follow below.

If you haven't already tried them, wondering if the settings below can help:


Try Settings > Sound and Haptics > Microphone >

External Microphone,

or Built-in Microphone)

If needed: for using headset for Phone calls:

Try Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Call Audio routing >

Choose from Automatic,

Bluetooth Headset, or
