Where is the microphone located at? Mine was water damaged and it works fine except for the microphone is very low. Thanks in advance for your help

If you look at the bottom of your Nexus 5x you will see a pin hole that allows the microphone to receive your voice. The microphone component will be right above that small hole. Unfortunately, I believe that the microphone component itself is soldered to the motherboard. You may be able to clean it more with alcohol and try again after it dries. Buying a new microphone and soldering on the new one would require a special soldering iron and almost expert skill. If you could purchase one with a broken screen for a reasonable price you could replace your whole motherboard with ease
