Edit 1 :
After so many comments on “Ok google not responding” topic. We check with latest ROM and find this option Really not working.
Why Ok Google not Responding : In the Latest MIUI release Google Voice Search disabled by default, So you can’t access Ok Google Settings. You can enable Google Voice search for accessing ok google settings.
Here an another way also available for your Mic issue. Follow Bellow steps:
Root your phone
Install Root Browser from the Play store or other…
Navigate to /system and open the file “build.prop” in “RB Text Editor”
Find the line that says: persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true
and change it to “false” so it reads persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=false
Reboot your phone
Note : In both of the ways make sure you clear all cache from your phone memory.

I have followed this process and Engineering Mode window opened, but didn’t find the option for mic test, can you explain how to test for mic.
Hi Deepak Patidar,
Thanks for writing here. In the latest ROM mic testing option removed by MIUI developers. Don’t worry you have another option for Mic test in Xiaomi Redmi.
Follow below step:
1. Open Recorder App.
2.Record an Audio (Make sure you have a proper distance from your mouth and phone).
3. After that. Play it. If you hear your voice clearly then your Mic is Ok else you have an issue with Mic.
Hope it help.
Thanks a lot, it worked for me. I got stuck with this problem when I updated my Redmi 2 with stable MIUI 7.5.2.0 , had these screeching noise when I try to call which was very irritating. I also tried wiping the cache from recovery. one more thing is that battery is draining too fast after the update, please post the link for that also. thanks in advance
