I do it as your method,but it can't settle for our function.
Your answer as follows :
"add a power supply decoupling cap to U2, replace L5 and L2 by a short circuit and remove the short circuit between the output of circuit and VCC. Remove C6 and replace it by a resistance.
What role plays R6 in your circuit? This resistance is not necessary when an electret microphone is connected. Have a look at figure 39 of datasheet. Do also remove C10.
