Good morning!
I have a Voyager 6200 UC connected to a USB BT600 on Win10, and also connected to a Pixel 4a with Android 12. All software/firmware on all 4 devices is up to date.
For the second time, the microphone has failed. When speaking, my voice is barely picked up, and the microphone cuts in and out. I have checked all of the audio input levels on the Android, in Win10 and in the Plantronics Hub. I have toggled all settings around to try to restore microphone operation, and I have confirmed that the same microphone behaviour on both the phone and the computer, in Zoom, Teams, Jabber, and WebEx.
The first time the microphone failed in this way, about a year earlier, I had fought with the headset in troubleshooting, and even ordered a replacement. As I was awaiting delivery of the replacement, I drained the headset battery all the way to 0% so that the unit would no longer power on, and then I charged the battery to 100%. This action restored the microphone functionality about a year ago.
This time, although the symptoms are all the same, this same action of draining the battery fully has not restored the microphone functionality. However, because it had worked previously, I suspect that the microphone functionality has become corrupted in the unit's firmware, at a low level.
As a next troubleshooting step, I would like to try flashing an older firmware to the unit, and then flashing the current firmware again, but I can't figure out how to downgrade the firmware in order to do a clean flash.
Any advice or guidance would be much appreciated, thanks!
Rob

Hello @russ0035,
Welcome to Poly Community.
We do have offline firmware update possibility but community page is not the right page to request assistance for such issues. Also if you are trying to go back all the way to initial release of the product then we may not be able to accommodate such requests as older firmware files are no longer stored in update servers. Normally if you wish to downgrade to N-1 build (N means New) then it may be possible.
Troubleshooting or providing support via the community is outside the scope for myself as an Poly employee.
Please raise a ticket with Poly Technical Support to request a FW update/downgrade package (it depends on the situation and support policies/guidelines as to what extent it can be fulfilled or not) for manual update/s.
We recommend user to provide the following details for quick assistance:
• Device SN and its Product ID (PID) from Lens.
• Current firmware version and the one you are trying to upgrade/downgrade to.
• Lens/HUB (whichever applicable) version in use.
Alternatively, you can send email with this request to headset.helpline@poly.com to get assistance in this matter.
Please share feedback if this reply has helped you so that other community members can profit from your experience.

Sorry for piggy back riding on this post. I've encountered the same issue on 2 6200UC units, both on firmware 702. I've reached out to Poly technical support to request firmware downgrade package, but they replied stating that the device cannot be downgraded. Just wondering if you still have the package? If so do you mind sending me a copy?

Sorry to be a party crasher, but this is not "solving" the solution, it's barely a workaround. I've been doing this since 2 years (downgrading the firmware and re-upgrading) the issue comes back after a few weeks/months of usage. There is something definitely wrong with the firmwares of the 6200UC
Experiencing this on 2 differents devices and many smartphones/laptop.
