Abstract
An electronic device and a method implemented in the electronic device are provided. The method includes detecting, by a device detector, whether a wired external device coupled to the electronic device and including a wired external speaker further includes a wired external microphone; providing a signal, by the device detector, indicating whether the wired external device includes the wired external microphone; detecting, by a controller, a call establishment; and operating, by the controller, a built-in microphone to receive a voice sound if the signal from the device detector indicates that the wired external device does not include the wired external microphone and providing a voice signal received from a second electronic device to the wired external device so that the wired external speaker outputs the voice signal, wherein the built-in microphone and a built-in speaker of the electronic device are coupled to the controller via a COder-DECoder (CODEC).
