Also, the microphone on your new iPhone needs to be adjusted during the FaceTime call. It is currently set to prioritize the voice over the piano, and the piano sounds extremely soft, while the voice sounds loud and clear.
During the call: • During a FaceTime call, swipe down from the top-right corner (Control Center), tap “Mic Mode”, and choose: • Standard – default voice-optimized • Voice Isolation – prioritizes your voice, filters out other sounds • Wide Spectrum – allows all sounds to be captured, including musical instruments To capture music naturally, you must manually switch to “Wide Spectrum” during each call. |

This is the process step-by-step to change the setting to "Wide Spectrum" |
