iPhone 8 mic issue

I have a strange problem on my iPhone 8. The bottom mic is working fine for phone calls and also for recording audio on Messages. But when I use the mic for an app, for example Voice Memos, the sound is suddenly very faint and muffled. I've tried restarting, reset, updates, everything.

iPhone 8, iOS 12
