"Ok Google" not listening

Anyone have a fix yet? I'm having a similar problem. Here's what I discovered so far.

When I bought the phone yesterday, and set it up, I was able to do a voice search in the Google Search app. I can't recall if that was before or after I did the OTA update.

I'm on Verizon and have the phone fully up to date at the moment.

Today I realized if I try to do a Google voice search, it does not pick up anything I say. It just sits there and times out. No response. I then noticed the same issue if I try to do a voice to text in the default messaging app.

That made me think it was the mic not working. But I tested it by recording a video and the audio was picked up fine. Okay, maybe it's a software thing. I uninstalled Google Search, and reinstalled. Still having the issue.

The latest, and most odd problem with it now is I discovered that when I get a phone call, if I answer, the other person can not hear me! They can only hear me if I put the phone on speaker.. How weird is that?

So it's not a mic issue because I can record audio when I take a video. It might not be a google search app software issue because I reinstalled it. And it's somehow tied into the speaker phone when on a call.
