Audio problem with messenger: codec missing? - Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A friend has a chinese android set top box.
I have nvidia shield with full android M and also a chinese box.
When he calls me in LINE, skype or hangouts on my nvidia, video works, he can hear me, but I cannot hear him.
If I you use my chinese box , everything is fine.
Of course normal sounds play fine on my nvidia.
Now I made an interesting discovery: in Skype for Android there is an option to switch audio-out between loudspeaker and earphone. The default is loudspeaker, in this mode you not hear any sound. Switching to earphone, everything is fine.

Skype Bluetooth Audio Problem

Hi
I have installed skype. Audio comes through the loudspeaker, I have tried to route it to bluetooth earpiece ( jawbone prime) or at least use the front speaker.
Unfortunately no results.
I have tried audiorouter V1.0.1, BTaudio and even fring, no results, audio is still coming through speakerphone.
There an option in Bluetooth-> advanced-> play systems sounds through bluetooth but the sound ( my voice ) is distorted to the person I am calling.
Sounds like my voice has been speed up.
Any resoultion ?

I had a similar problem, and have not found a solution, but instead I started using Skype To Go and instead of using Skype's software. it is just a regular phone call. Sound quality is much better, but it has it's limitations. I use skype almost exclusively for outgoing international calls and therefore it works for me. (it also works for me because I have a lot of unused minutes)

need debugging help for full android marshmallow

I have the full android 6 installed and it is running fine - except one thing:
when using Skype or LINE messenger, I do not hear the other side.
Since audio is working with music files and TV, I guess this is somehow a matter of encoding/decoding the special messenger streams. (On my chinese android box, all works fine. )
I made an interesting discovery: in Skype for Android there is an option to switch audio out between loudspeaker and earphone. The default is loudspeaker, in this mode you not hear any sound. Switching to earphone, everything is fine.
I found the app "SoundAbout". With this app, you can force media audio and phone call audio to HDMI. Now veverything works.

microphone issue

The microphone only works with phone calls. WhatsApp voice messages, Google commands, any other app does not work. A complete reset didn't help either. Looks like a software bug. Otherwise, the microphone would not work on phone calls.
Newest Android version with latest November patch.
Any ideas?
I have the same mic problem.
Did you open a support case?
I was able to recreate the error using a recorder app. Whenever the microphone is set to mono, recording is no longer possible. Once the recording is set to stereo, the microphone will work fine. WhatsApp, Google commands seem to use the mono setting and do not work. Is there a setting that can permanently set the microphone to stereo?
I talked to support today. The problem is the last update. After that, all apps except the phone app use the rear microphone. I asked for a fix and waiting for an answer.

H96MAX Bluetooth microphone not working

Hi,
I have a H96 Max android box, with Android 9.0, CPU : RK3318.
I'm having hard time using by Bluetooth headset, as the microphone does not work.
I have used Sony SBH80 and Sony WH1000XM3 headsets. Pairing works, audio output works, but the mic doesn't.
I have made a couple of tests, including some web audio testing pages in chrome, apps like Mic test from Play Store and also in google assistant. The most information I've got from the Mic test app, as it shows red and green status when a device is on. And in fact, when the recording using the BT headset should take place, the LED is green, but there is no sound being recorded.
I have tested both headsets with a OnePlus5 and on both the mic works normally.
I have also connected a USB mic to the H96 and it also works fine, sound is recorded.
So the problem I think is that the level of the sound input from the BT mic on the H96 is 0.
I have looked into /etc/mixer_paths.xml and also into /vendor/etc/audio_policy_configuration.xml but I don't see anything suspicious there.
Can anyone help?
BR,
Astagor
Also, if anybody could recommend an Android TV box on which the Bluetooth headset works (both audio out and microphone) I would be very grateful. The requirements I have for the box are: Google Play Store works, it has an ETH connector. The rest is not so important. I want to use 6 boxes to make a constant WebRTC connection between them using Chrome. The users would use the BT headsets to pick them up and to communicate.
Thanks!
I have bought 3 more boxes:
T95 max+
T9
MX10+
on none of these devices the headset mode works properly.
The closest to working was the T95max+, it discovered properly the BT headset, but when in communication mode, the mic did not work either.
I have tested the headset with 3 other android phones, and there it works out of the box.
So I guess all 4 Android TV boxes I have tested fail to have the correct setting for BT headsets.
Anyone got this to work on a box?
Microphone not detected in t9 tv box
I am too experiencing the same problem, if anyone have a solution please share it thanks in advance

Junsun V1 Pro 8+128gb Siri CarPlay problem

Hey
i don't know if someone of you might be able to help me (i hope someone know), but 99% of the time when I am using CarPlay it works perfectly except for one thing : when Siri talk / read a message or a notification the audio quality of Siri voice is really bad (and it's the same when i call someone, the voice from the one that i talk to is really bad in term of audio quality.
I don’t know why, especially that the music in the background is still played with a good audio quality :/
Maybe someone has a software update for my Junsun V1 Pro 8+128gb using a Mediatek MT6768 SoC ?
(I've tried with IOS 15, 15.2 and 15.4 and it does the same problem)
Thanks in advance :/
I have the same unit as yours. What car is yours installed in? Mine plays excellent audio with music but no sound at all when in phone calls. Wired CarPlay, Wireless CarPlay, Bluetooth phone calls, all use the microphone perfectly, but when it comes to hearing the other person, I can't hear anything. And yes, I've turned the volume up all the way.
