Is there a known issue with the Siri mic not working?

[iMore Question]

Is there a known issue with the Siri mic not working.

Is there a separate mic for:
Siri?
regular forward videos?

The regular phone mic works for phone calls. Sometime my callers cannot hear me when I have it in speaker mode. Switching off speaker lets them hear me. Siri is not responding to my voice. It was working until a week ago. I've gone through two Apple support sessions: complete restores "as new"; IOS to 8.2; etc, and it still does not work. Nearest Apple store is 6 hours away by car. Siri works with ear buds mic. I am sending 6+ in by mail for repair/ replacement.

That's about all you can do for a warranty exchange of a device... it does sound like a hardware issue.
