I've also got the same problem. As well as this, I am unable to send group texts or mms. This has all occurred since the last update to Android 12 (I think).
I cannot hear calls on my Surface Duo 2 unless on speaker phone
When I make (or answer) calls on my Surface Duo 2, the other person can hear me, but I cannot hear them unless I put the phone on speaker phone or use a Bluetooth device.
It worked for months and then stopped about six weeks ago.
I've updated all the software (including upgrading to the latest Android 12L), and I just did a hard reset. But still no sound on a phone call.
HELP!

2022-12-05T13:32:24+00:00 We probably have different issues, or else you have TWO issues. My phone DOES send group texts and mms. It just doesn't have sound for phone calls unless I use speaker phone.
My phone is under warranty, and I finally contacted Microsoft (through the support on the phone itself) and they are shipping me a refurbished replacement and I'll ship them my defective phone.

2022-12-05T17:53:56+00:00 I had this happen back in the spring, I think. A factory reset didn't do anything for me either. This was before the 12L upgrade, though. Unfortunately, I had dropped the device and the back glass near the camera bump was cracked. My only remedy was to get it replaced through warranty (though I had to pay ~1/2 the cost of the phone due to the physical damage not covered).
I'm not sure if that's what you want to hear, but that was my experience.

2022-12-05T21:24:33+00:00 Alas, my problem was before the Android 12. I was hoping it would fix it. But it didn't.
I'll let you all know if the swapped phone fixes things. (I didn't want to change phones either, but after doing the hard reset, I figured it was the same amount of work, so why not!)
