What microphones are you guys using for the Joying Sofia units?
When I make calls the other party always complains about poor audio quality coming from me so I'd like to improve that - if possible

You may want to do a test just recording with the microphone, just to make sure the microphone is the issue. Also try changing the mic sensitivity settings in the car settings, see if that helps. I was using the external mic that came with my unit for a few weeks with no complaints. It seemed to work better on the lower sensitivity level in the car settings.
I finally ended up using the microphone that was built in my car headliner already. I just connected a 3.5mm plug to the 2 wires going to the old head unit. It seems a bit softer than the joying mic, but much less background noise.
I have purchased 3 different Joying head units and they all work for recording voice with both internal or external microphones and using a voice recording app but none of them work during a Bluetooth call. Any ideas? I'm stumped. Tried windows phone, android phone and then iPhone. Maybe a bad batch that are all missing a connection to the Bluetooth module?
Hi Cabela,
Which unit do you currently have, I am experiencing similar problems and the manufacturer advised me to disconnect the external mic.
Have you found a work around...

Hi Guys, I'm using this aftermarket CG-30AD with spec:
- Anroid 5.1.1
- Quad Core 1.6GHz MTK8227 Cortex A9
- 1GB DDR5
- 16GB Flash Memory
- WiFi, GPS, Radio
- No DVD
No complaint so far about the unit, I installed with rear camera and DVR camera, all can connected perfectly.
However the only downside is the volume configuration and the microphone input is only on the unit itself.
Bluetooth connection to the phone totally useless, need to yell like hell. My mouth and head must facing to the unit, for other party can hear clearly.
Speaking "Okay Google", Google search or other voice recognition really terrible.
I tried many apps to boost the voice and sound, none are working what I expected.
I was thinking to get/modify this with external microphone, but not to much hassle to make changes on the unit itself, because still under warranty.
I'm not sure if this USB android microphone will works?

But I really do not need the speaker output, I'm afraid this will disable my main speaker on the car itself. I only need the microphone function, so I can use external microphone like this:

Any thought anyone?
Hey! I'm more of an Android newbie (I have an iPhone). I just installed an Android head unit in my car. So far everything is pretty good except the Bluetooth audio quality. Whenever a cymbal hits in a song, it distorts and sounds really bad. It doesn't distort when playing music any other way. I know it's not my iPhone, because it streams to other devices just fine. This seems to be a common problem in some radios, and even just the android OS. How can I fix it?
My radio is an Android 6.0.1 unit with an Octa Core chip, 2gb of ram, and 32gb of flash, which I bought from Idoing on AliExpress (since it won't let me post a link)
Thanks!
I'm having the same issue. I'm really bummed about it as I love the unit but the bluetooth sound quality just sours it
I've read people just getting Bluetooth dongles and attaching them to AUX, but that's more of a hack then a solution.
We may be SOL if it's a hardware issue. I'll keep searching.
After reading a lot of the MTCD threads I've heard people using this Bt+Wifi dongle

According to reports, the head unit will use it as the system's internal Bluetooth.
I've ordered one and once it arrives will report back on it this fixes our issue.
Dont know if it's relevant, but I'm using the preamp outs on my unit as my car has a builtin bose amplifier,
@bonesteel94 are you using the preamp outs or just the standard amplified signal from the head unit?
Hi. I just received a brand new out the box replacement Headunit from Joying and Im fearing its brand new defective. When I pair my phone to the device and try to make a phone call, the entire call (both inbound and outbound) is completely mute. There's no audio and I cannot hear anything on the call. When I switch the audio source back to my phone even while on the call I can hear everything fine. I checked my bluetooth settings on my cell phone and they all seemed okay. Phone Audio is enabled, likewise Media. I rebooted, unpaired and re-paired both my phone and head unit. Nothing works... I cannot hear what the other party is saying.
Music and videos all work fine, however; I ALSO cannot hear the touch button input when I touch the screen like I could on my older unit. What happened?
Im worried the MCU might be bad.
Please check whether you have connected the external microphone well,you can check this blog:https://www.joyingauto.com/blog/post/how-to-test-and-check-mic-issue-for-joying-android-head-unit/

Hi, the issue isn't the microphone, I am unable to hear any audio from the call itself which means I can't hear who I am talking to. This is different from the issue where no one can hear me. I tried even with the external microphone completely disconnected and got the same results.
One thing noted from that blog is checking the speaker wire, I'm using the same radio harness as I was using on my older defective 6021 motherboard and the one before that. I compared the coloring on the wiring harness and pinouts on the connector and they look exactly the same so I don't believe its a speaker wire issue either. When I play regular my front speakers work fine.
I am noticing that the equilizer seems to think my front right speakers are my front left and it thinks my front left speakers are my front right. The back speakers seem to be configured properly (when I select back audio only plays out the back, when I go front right audio plays out the front left, and vice versa.) I checked the wiring and the front right and properly connected to the front right wires, as are the front left and so forth... I went and redid the entire radio harness (which worked fine for 2 Joying Sofia Intel units before this one.) and it did not help. Also still no bluetooth phone calls. bluetooth AUDIO works fine but when I make a bluetooth phone call, it is COMPLETELY mute on both ends. I can't hear them and they can't hear me, regardless if the mic is connected or not.

I took the car to work today and had two additional people test their phones on the unit but we replicated the same issue. One was an iPhone and the other was an Android. While they can play bluetooth music through the unit, bluetooth phone is still completely mute, even with the external mic connected. We tried with the AMP setting configured to "IN" as well but it made no difference. I am still not getting any audio from my phone to the stereo.
I am certain all the wiring is correct. I am using a METRA adapter to my car stereo which splices into the Joying unit and it has worked fine on all previous Joying units. The Metra Harness follows the same universal stereo wiring code (white and white black / grey and grey black are front speakers) and connects to my car's factory harness. Also in the equilizer settings, although left and right audio is incorrect, front and rear audio is functioning properly. If I select only rear, only rear speakers play and if I select only front.. only front speakers play.
Did you fix it?

TIA
same here no audio for Bluetooth calls. completely mute.

Anyone find a fix for this? Having the same issue. Unit is JY-UO139N4
Good day friends,
2 days ago i bought and installed this unit
Alps 8227l demo
Yt9216b.
Android 8.1 go
Everything works great except calling, while calling the partner on other side hears his own voice like echo with delay of 2 seconds, reducing the volume eliminates echo slightly, but makes it nearly impossible to hear
I tried to decrease mic sensitivity from mtk-hardware-audio-headaet-mic ,but did not get the desired result
Car is mitsubishi pajero 2006 with rockkford audio system( maybe the rockford amplifier does not get along with this aftermarket head?)
Any suggestions?

I have YT9216B device even i faced the same issue while calling the person on other end was unable to hear as the onboard mic is weak also the cable connecter which were used didn't had any connector for external mic so i replaced the RCA cable which contain external mic socket and just plugged in external mic and eventually the issue got solved without doing changes to mic sensitivity in engineering mode.

Sorry didn't get what you said
Hey guys. I have a Joying headunit and recently i was on a call via bluetooth and the other person said they can here buzz sound so I decided to do some test and started voice recording on the headunit and found out that when car parking lights or headlights are on, it records that buzz sound. Lights off and the sound is gone. Anyone would know, why?
Wen you say you were on a call with BT, can you clarify what you mean. You had a bluetooth headset on in your car connected to your HU? Your HU was getting getting phone call how? Also BT? to you phone? Or you mean your HU was BT to your phone but you were using the HU mic? If your sing BT headset that seems odd and more likely an issue with your headset. IF however you mean you were using BT to connect phone to HU(aka handsfree) and you were using the HU mic(or external mic) welcome to the chinese head unit party. The mics and the internal components are poorly shielded from engine and other electronic noise. Only thing you can really do is buy a better external mic and see if it helps.

That's typically from too much power draw in your cars electrical system. Which can also mean you have some poor grounding. It doesn't hurt to start adding ground straps all around the car. Ground battery to chassis, ground block with ground of battery, ground body with block etc. Inside the car behind the head unit, you can ground your ground wire with a T connection to somewhere metal in the dash. That will help with the buzzing sound while your lights are on and functioning.
well if he's talking about sound on a bt headset,that's something very different, but I assume he meant standard hands free.
