joying 2GB sofia headunits-common thread for all audio topics:USB DAC,music player...

[kampfschachtel]

Thank you surfer63...
If I need to flash anyhow, update to Android 6 would be an option...or still wait? Release 28 May seems to be best, true?
How is the Android 6 performing regarding audio topics?
Read it support USB Dac. So the volume control works without mod. Can you adapt the volume of the different input sources in the car setting (like radio, BT audio, Mac)?
Doesn't work with 5.1 and USB mod, main reason I would change to 6 if this works...google maps voice is screaming on softer, the lowest volume option and for ixia bug there a fix too. All mods are available for 6 too.
Anything that should keep me away from 6?

The 6.0.1 as such is now stable enough. Applying mods does not always work.
I have no idea about the audio stuff as I'm really not interested in that.
AssassinsLament did not upgrade the SofiaServer to the latest USBDAC mods yet. His mods are either at the 08 or 12 May version. I'm not sure.
By creating diffs between AssassinsLament 6.1 versions and the 6.3 Gustden versions, it should not be too difficult to create new V6.3 USBDAC versions.
(Note that due to personal circumstances AssassinsLament hardly participates at the moment. Hopefully he will be back in a few weeks).

I install an external audio device to the AUX ports on the back of the HU.
Is there a way to hear the audio signal from AUX during Navigation or simply on the Home screen?

The only way to fix this is to flash it again with the 14 March update.
Put it on a USB key, put a needle in the reset hole for 3-6 seconds, and the unit will reinstall.

Done that. Unit starts installing and shows the android guy BUT after 5mm in the progress bar it stops and shut off without any error...
The same 3 times, with 28 March firmware (upgrade at the same Time) and 14 March current.
What to Do now???

is it possible to install Dolby atmos on Joying?

 

[kampfschachtel]

is it possible to install Dolby atmos on Joying?

No and it makes no sense acoustically either. From room volume, distances and room height of the cabin Dolby Digital 5.1 need to be used.
Joying just supports stereo and also digitally via USB out it is a PCM stereo signal with 16bit/44 or 48Khz.
you can install viper4 android, and you can download a DolbyDigital 5.1 plug in for it that simulates the 5.1 very well. look for the post in this thread from AssassinsLament, where he describes the settings for viper too.

Can somebody who is on Android 6 and using a USB DAC please try the following and report:
Can you adapt the volume of the different input sources in the car setting (like radio, BT audio, Mac) under volume setting (with code 3368) , do this adjustments have an effect means do they work?
Means eg I have the radio playing and the navigation directions comes up, so I can adjust in the car setting menu the volume of the radio and the navigation seperatly.

Read that Andorid 6 supporta USB Dac without mod. So I understand the volume control works without mod too, correct?
In 5.1.1 the above doesn't work (means the volume setting adjustments in the car setting menu have no effect at all) because of the volume mod needed, so eg in google maps the directions are played with very high volume which cannot be adjusted (already on softer in maps settings) lower due to the USB DAC volume mod.
My unit is bricked at the moment and needs a complete new install and only reason I would switch to Andoid 6 is if the above is working. Everything else works in 5.1.1 like I want, just this one thing not.

Hello guys,
I just finished installing my sound and I notice a small constant beep in the sound when not playing any sound.
When muting the device; the beep stops. I've tried it with an USB DAC on a PC separately where this didn't occur.
When I lower the amplifier's gain the beep gets softer too. On my old speakers I didn't notice this sound either (also with the amp).
Do you guys have this sound too when amplifying the Joying unit?

Greetings,

Yes,had the same issue..using pre outs.
That is one of the reason i choose the DAC route

I'm using pre-outs to an external amp, but no beep or any other noise. I did have buzzing initially that seemed to correspond to CPU activity (like dragging windows around) but that was fixed with ground loop isolator.

I don't think ground loop is your issue though, as it wouldn't be stopped by muting.

I forgot to check replies, sorry guys for the late response.

I noticed with my Hewlett Packard DAC (quite old one) that the sound wasn't so bright. Is that better on the DACs mentioned in the main post?
They aren't expensive either so I'm really thinking it would be a good choice.

I first had problems with ground loop (then amp didn't work at all) and fixed. But I will just check it again just to be sure

Hi All,
I was able to install the surfer63's BusyBox and the Viper4Android into my Sofia 6.01 unit. Seems like Vipe4android is working under the PhoneSpeakertab and not the Headset tab like the person that uploaded a video of it. (Drive status shows Processing=Yes). But the problem is when I try to add the equalizers the music starts getting the distorted. Is this due to the wrong Busybox. If so can someone please walk me through on how to install the busybox that AssassinsLament has uploaded since it's not an actual apk file?

The EQ section from Viper does not work with Joying Intel Sofia Android 6. There is no solution to fix the problem.
I was the only one complaining about the issue so I assume that very few people use Viper around here.

The first script of AssassinsLament needed an updated busybox for the install. The busybox delivered with the Joyings is limited.
If you install viper4android via my apk you don't need busybox.
So again: busybox was only needed for the install! It has nothing to do with the functioning (or not) of viper4android itself.

And for the rest: @edit is right.

Ah I see that makes sense. Great job on that app man. I cam across that when I did a search abt busybox and Joying. It's a powerful tool and I love it . It's a bummer that I can't use Viper4Android but I am planning to add Subs and Amp for my car anyway so I guess I won't be needing Viper4Android.

You guys rock!

Help! =(

Hi! I'm not sure if this is the right place to post it, but from what I can tell, this is probably the best place to ask..
I had a joying unit installed over the weekend (JY-VM130N2 in a 2006 golf gti)

And with a few kinks and settings played with, it seemed to work well.
However after I connected to wifi and some apps updated and installed (trying out Android auto, etc) it seems that the volume no longer works.
The knob turns, and when it does the indicator on the screen goes from 0 (mute, which works) then 1 (which sound comes on) all the way up to 36.
However the sound level at 1 is the same as the level at 36..
I can control the volume through my phone when playing through Bluetooth, however it is hardly loud enough.
I tried a factory reset which didn't fix anything, and the help forum for Joying wasn't helpful. I found this thread, and to be completely honest, I have no idea what a lot of it means, but I have a good history with android phones, and am hoping that there is a solution to this, as googling for the past day has lead me here.

Any help or point in the right direction would be awesome.

Thanks everyone

Mike

Have you tried resetting it with a toothpick in the little hole on the front? As strange as that sounds, it could actually make a difference if the problem is in the MCU's volatile memory.

What exactly is everything you did to adjust the thing?
