As far as I know, it's a hardware issue, and not a software issue. I was having the same issue with Newt's 4.2.2 GPE ROM. I got tired of the Skype bug and installed the Unofficial CM 11 (Before official was announced), and the issue was still there. I did an RUU to 1.15. Still had the issue. Installed Newt's GPE again, the problem isn't there anymore. So I'm assuming it's a hardware issue. If possible, take a look at the logcat when trying to voice chat on Skype. See if you see any errors regarding the microphone. I think it's just a fluke. Some people have the issue, others don't.
[HTC Droid DNA] zou14:
Its a kennel Issue I have the same Prob too
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
As far as I know, Skype audio has been working right in CM 11 since December 10th. Please tell me that you are running a more recent ROM than that.

For giggles, I just verified that I have no audio problems using the Skype test service either using the phone as a handset or using speaker-phone. I didn't bother trying headset or bluetooth as those were more likely to work in the first place.

If you still think that there is a software problem, please install the latest nightly of CM 11, do not install anything except Skype, do not restore anything, do not change anything (especially ART). Verify a problem using the test service and then provide a logcat in the CM 11 thread. Also, repeat the same steps with a stock ROM and verify that it works there.

Ditto (and, fyi, I doubt it is a kernel problem).
[HTC Droid DNA] r0nz3y:
same problem. flashed the new 3.06 radio and still not working.

this is a real bummer, i use skype everytime im out of the country :(

Keep in mind that if you follow this method, you are tripping the knox flag to a 0x1. This completed voids your warranty and until this moment there's no possible way to research back to a 0x0.

I used Oden to apply the Chainfire root. After rebooting, Knox told me it prevented an unauthorized app from accessing secure area of the phone. Then SuperSU FC'ed. I went to play, updated it SuperSU, and opened it. After a brief pause, it asked "Do you want to disable Knox?". I pondered that question intently, and in about 10ms, answered OF COURSE! It the successfully disabled knox.

After, go into the play store, and download "Rom Manager". Open it up, and click on the first tab. "Recovery Setup" (Even if it says that you already have CWM recovery installed, still do these steps) After clicking on that tab, on the list "Install or Update recovery" Click on ClockwordMod Recovery. Then click on our device name. A box will pop up suggesting you have Wi-Fi (If you're not already on it), just click OK. And then it'll automatically download it and flash it. There you go.

Sorry if this has already been posted. People might think that there is a different way to root 4.3, just here to help.

Took part of this from erkme73​
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] abdothegreat:
Thanks .. worked like a charm
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] supamas:
Thanks a lot. This method worked for me and very quickly! Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nmw407:
Thnaks for testing this out. This method worked for me. I had the old CFautoroot before and it didn't work for me, so after downloading the CFautoroot that's specifically for t-mo version, this worked for me.

I didn't even have to go and download a custom recovery. I managed to have the stock recovery on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ungraph:
Previous to 4.3 I flashed Robinson's stock root-injected 4.1.2 rom. Would this method work for me? And can I skip the CWM recovery part?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nmw407:
If you use ODIN to flash the 4.3 stock, then you'll lose root, and then you'll have to do this method to get root back. You already have root. Wait until Mr. R puts out the root injected 4.3 so you won't lose your root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ungraph:
I flashed Robinson's stock root-injected 4.1.2 via Odin and I installed the 4.3 update via Kies yesterday so I lost root. I was wondering if this method would work for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nmw407:
It worked for me through ODIN. My mistake was using the old CFautoroot that was for the note 2 international. Once I used the one for t-mo, it all worked exactly as the OP stated - I stopped before the recovery installation since I didn't need TWRP or CWM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bones718:
is it possible to be rooted and still use knox?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ungraph:
Just did exactly what you said and it works! I gained root on stock 4.3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lmarranzino:
From what I have seen with my phone NO... But hey still very early. The root method here is great. I found that I had to also uninstall Knox completly with TiBu and seems to hold. I found booting back into recovery even with Knox on Freeze it still would interfere ... Just my limited experience speaking here also.:D

Thanks again for the root method. Seems 4.3 is pretty smooth, I installed exposed and Wanam and all is good, Also flashed Devil Kernel and good good so far.:victory:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vinas1:
Worked like a charm. Thanks for posting the steps!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] DKM119:
This method works but i did a master reset to start "fresh" after rooting and i got on the Tmobile 4g lte screen loop.

Any ideas?

What do you meant by interfere?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhxDroid86:
Mine hung on that screen for longer than I wanted (started getting nervous) but eventually the phone finished loading up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ungraph:
Keep in mind that if you follow this method, you are tripping the knox flag to a 0x1. This completed voids your warranty and until this moment there's no possible way to revert back to a 0x0. This means you can't downgrade your firmware and if you try, even via Odin, it wouldn't let you and lock your phone. Just a heads up. OP shouldve posted this in the post but if you don't mind flashing custom rooms etc, then by all means go ahead.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] youStolemylaptop:
I'll edit it in right now to let everyone know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] samsung galaxy duos:
it's work on my NOTE2

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhxDroid86:
I thank the OP for updating the post to reflect the Knox issue... but I think anyone with a Note 2 should have already been aware of such issues when rooting. Even if they weren't around for the "modified/binary count/triangle away" disscussions... those that did root, still had to deal with those issue and heard all about them... and now that we've headed towards that next phase of OTA's... it's hard to think anyone has not seen/heard/read something on Knox itself... I can hardly go 5 topics without seeing something related to Knox posted within the first 2 pages... I commend the OP for updating... but how can people be so careless with a phone that cost $400-700. Especially when the first rule of xda is "read first" followed by rule two "at your own risk"

Ultimately, I tripped out about the whole "modified status won't allow OTA's / void warranty" at first and in the end it was patched... I hope for everyone's sake, this gets the same solution... like Coug, I'm holding out for the moment, but I do have faith
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
In a perfect world this is completely true, but this isn't a prefect world. Most the post I see about Knox is "what is Knox" instead of people searching. That's why we have so many people already bootlooping trying to go back to 4.1. I'm glad the op updated the Knox warranty but because I'm pretty sure there will be some people shocked by theirs being tripped.

On a side not Vroot and kingo will root without messing up the Knox. Just Google them. They were removed from xda because some suspicion of virus, but I didn't have s problem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] blazinazn:
So if you flash Mr. Robinson's stock root injected update you lose root. He has ripped out knox so if you use this method, you shouldn't have any issues and regain root?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] trial_user:
Here is my situation: I used Odin v3.7 and root66_RWC_I747MVLDMF1.tar.md5 to root my i747m to rooted JB 4.1.2. The root was successful but stupid me I forgot to uncheck automatic software update on my phone. Come morning I discovered that the automatic software update downloaded the latest version of JB, I'm assuming 4.3 or higher which everyone here knows it is half-baked. I turn on my phone and I get a message saying that the latest software has been downloaded and it's now asking to install it. How do remove the downloaded software update? Where is this file sitting on my phone? Do I need to re-root my S3 to get rid of the software update? Do I need to unroot my S3 and then root it again? What options do I have? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mpj123:
This is kinda a shot in the dark, but maybe go to recovery mode and clear cache? I would assume that's where the file went? Or... get a file explorer and find the file and delete it, or enable debug mode and find the file in /cache and delete it.

After a bit of research, that is where it went. You can also do like this thread mentions and freeze the update service using titanium backup com.motorola.blur.updater

source: android.stackexchange(dot)com/questions/32205/where-can-i-find-the-ota-update-file

offtopic: I downloaded beanstock(4.4) and found a way to enable tethering, apart from that, everything seems smooth and working... If you really dont like 4.3 :P
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] trial_user:
Thanks for the tip. I found the update file which was called, "update.zip" in the /cache/fota directory using the Root Browser app.

Null Quote:

If you find the recovery is not sticking & your Gear wipes when attempting to access recovery after flashing, you must root your Gear prior to installing TWRP again & Run the following commands in ADB:

*NOTE* You will gave to accept a supersuser request popup when executing "SU" command

*NOTE 2* Probably a good idea to run this prior to first installation (To save time)

$ adb shell

$ su

# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p20 /system

# rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge

If needed "ADB" can be found here on xda - Thanks to shimp208
