QD1 is toast, the base to emitter voltage is too high!
Recheck and if you find Voltage between base-emitter is much more
that say 0.7 volts then replace the transistor and you audio will
be back.

I have a new sBitxV3 board only. Everything is working except
the Mic input. I started experimenting with some microphone I
had and the recorded transmission has lots of noise and very low
audio. I measure 2.1v on mic input tip. I think it should be 5v.
Can anyone guide me as to what the issue may be and where I
should look. Here are my measurements/ calculations.?
