Help Mic problem after ICS update

Since updating my Incredible S to ICS yesterday I have a very strange problem with my mic on voice calls. After booting the phone I can make one or two calls as normal. After that, every call I make or receive has a problem with the mic such that people cannot hear me but instead hear roaring static.

The strange thing is, if I turn it on speaker they can hear fine and then it works fine if I turn speaker off. This leads me to believe that it is not a hardware problem, because the mic does in fact work fine, just not initially. It also displays the same problem with the headphones in. Anybody have a clue what this could be? When I first discovered the problem I went ahead and factory reset the phone so I have a fresh install but the problem persists. If I reboot, it works fine for a couple of calls and then stops working. I also thought it might be something to do with car mode but I cannot find anything in the phone that addresses this.

Are you by any chance running an application called PowerAmp? Check out this thread:

Hello everybody,
I have the same problem on my phone : people that I call hear me very very low. Not always. I came back to initial buildin program, but it didn't work. I don't use poweramp. This seems to be a usual problem with this phone, but I never found a way to fix it ( except here, but it's not my case). Thank you for helping me
Regards
