S10e microphone very very low after first and subsequent updates?

Hello, I switched to iodé 5.3 and microphone volume was OK as far as I remember. But then after the next update it was very quiet. It seemed that a way to temporarily fix it was makings a call and then plugging a cable headset in and out.
Now after another update, microphone volume is still very low. The built-in recorder app makes recordings in which I can barely hear myself, even though speaking quite loud.
Is there some app to see or/and to set microphone level?
(it’s just not so useful to have a phone that has a microphone that is so quiet)

Same here. Seems like an issue of the noise-canceling system of Samsung.

well, I am a step further: reading about the problem on the xda devs. forum I found that Google Assistant was often mentioned. Removing its permission for microphone access somehow would solve the problem.
I didn’t think this would apply to me since I don’t have it installed. But I removed some other apps from microphone permissions, and now a test call to myself worked flawlessly. I still will need to find out which app has caused this…
