just replaced the lightning port on iphone 8plus. now when i make a call my voice is muffled. but if i put my finger over the back mic or just place a piece of tape over it its all ok. all other functions are fine. turning off noise cancellation doesn’t do anything either

If your voice sounds muffled on the other end of the line you will need to replace your charge port assembly as there are two microphones on it.
