Exact JBL Live Beam 3. Exact Live Beam 3 has an existing intended call with its original case call screen visible. Phone/app mic permission and route are correct, and their software mute is off. The case explicitly reports voice muted. You accept the party hearing you after unmuting; no update is active.
Connection scope: Bluetooth. Symptom: My microphone isn’t working.
This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.
If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.
Checks and possible outcomes

Does the case clearly show voice muted?
Does the original case current-call screen explicitly show voice muted and an identifiable Unmute action? A codec badge is not a mute indicator.
Look for: Confirm the actual visible state before a change.
- If Yes, confirmed → Use explicit Unmute once
- If No, this state differs → Continue with source and model support
- If I cannot confirm → More information is required

Use explicit Unmute once
Only when the case clearly reports voice muted and offers identifiable Unmute, use that control once. Never blindly toggle an unknown mute state.
Look for: Observe the named indication or available control; stop if absent.

- If I cannot complete this → Continue with source and model support
