I had the same issue. No mic. Audio is muffled when you blow in at the mic. I use it for fishing and I think if you get it wet it may be possible that water may have seeped into the mic area. I used a hair blow dryer to make it hot and banged it lightly on a counter and it worked. My guess that mic might have seized up for it not to work. Hope this helps any of you.
@KiLLzo0oR Před 7 lety ⁺⁷
i took it apart for like 10times now =D Still haven't found what is cousing mic not to work, and there are no replacement parts anywhere to buy... and YI is not responding at all on this issue
@SteU4IA Před 7 lety
KiLLy yea same exact problem. You pretty much have to buy this on Amazon with the 3 year warranty.
@KiLLzo0oR Před 7 lety ⁺⁵
Ste .L or not buy it at all :)
@SteU4IA Před 6 lety
KiLLy i figured out it was the mic since I transplanted it from another unit.

Took out the batery over night, removed front cover, blew microphones with bottle of compresed air, microphones started working, for how long we will see
@steveluis687 Před 6 lety ⁺¹
thank you for doing this. i wonder if we can just install a audio out? would it be as easy as soldering wires to the speaker conductors on the board?
@heavyanemone2172 Před 4 lety
Cool. I guess that will take too much space. I was thinking about installing a "Mic In" and use an Røde Mic instead, but this means to harm the housing of the unit. Better Use 48K and record the sound seperatly. Does someone had success with the syncronisation because of an perfect framerate?
@AaronMattheus Před 6 lety ⁺²
Hi Ste L. Very helpful video. Thanks for taking your time to take it apart and show us what we can expect. My sound has just gone out completely aswell.
Xiaomi has just been telling me 'the audio would get fixed in a soon to come firmware update' for 7 months, until now. Last month my warranty expired and now they suddenly tell me it's not going to get resolved and that I have to pay 85 euro shipping and another 65 euro to get it fixed by them (which is almost the cost of a new one).
First time dealing with Xiaomi, and it redefines the stereotype of chinese products and customer service...
Now considering I no longer have warranty anyway, and in no way am going to pay 150 euro to get it fixed. What is my best option to fix it? I read in the comment below here that you managed to fix it by replacing the mic with the parts of another Yi 4k. Where do I get this? Or did you have to buy an entire new Yi? That would quite defeat the purpose.
Also: on alot of other cheaper actioncams people DIY self create an audio jack which allows them to use an external microphone on their action cam. This would completely solve my (our) problems and even offer us better audio than replacing it with another Yi 4k mic.
Thanks in advance.
Aaron

I had 2 of these units and I experimented by transferring the mic, but you're right...buying a new unit to do this defeats the purpose. So far I don't think anyone sells the mic as a part, the only solution I see is buying a broken/parts unit but it mentions the mic still works.
In terms of hard wiring a mic, I don't see how one would get it to connect with the circuit board, but i'm no expert.
The only thing i learned from this situation is don't trust Xioami and their warranty (buy it with 3rd party warranty)...and to avoid this issue entirely, ensure the unit does not over heat (i.e using it in the case to long or using it with timelapse in direct sunlight w/o proper air flow).....i think heat is the main cause of this hardware malfunction ... no amount of software update will fix this.
@SteU4IA Před 6 lety ⁺¹
So looking at the mods with the older Yi models... it looks like the older mics were just soldered on with 2 wires... that won't work with this unit since it uses ribbon cables.
@dr.strange.2655 Před 5 lety ⁺¹
I just listen the audio in mono, do you think this issue is about the firmware? this camera really sucks, Im so sad because i could buy a gopro at least.
@talhanadeem100 Před 4 lety
I have the static voice issue from past 2, 3 years. God knows its been a while. That's why i haven't used it so often. Now a days I'm in China and maybe i get it fixed easily. So can you tell me the exact part which needed to be replaced. Because i searched AliExpress for YI 4k microphone/pcb and nothing comes up.
@dr.strange.2655 Před 5 lety
I have this camera, and dont work recording with audio stereo, any advice?
@RadhaKrishnan-tn5jv Před 4 lety
can i add 3.5mm female jack for external microphone?
. is there space available for place female jack inside yi4k body?
@SteU4IA Před 4 lety ⁺¹
There is no space for a bulky jack, I also don't see a location to hardwire the input for the jack.
@h4rrymlg Před rokem
Yes you can. Try to search "Xiaomi Yi external mic mod" on CZcams, you'll find few tutorials.
@chukcanuk Před 7 lety
My sound died completely too. I contacted Yi who told me because I bought the unit from Geekbuying dot com,and not them ,they were not honouring the warranty. Geekbuying said they would fix it(shudder) if I shipped it back to China but that would have cost 40. Some consolation in knowing I am not alone with this issue. I do notice,however,when opening clips in FCP,while there is no sound playing back ,there is a very faint wave form showing of levels. However even boosting the audio to the max gives hiss. Pity ,because the image is really good. And If I do a visual clap I can still sync to other cameras.

Sounds risky.

@SergioMartinez-vs6mv Před 5 lety
Same issue? Any successful solution?? I tried to fix it sending it to a tech shop, but no solution from them. So... then only I can do is add music/sounds during video edition process :D
@SteU4IA Před 5 lety
No solution. The mic has a hardware defect I think due to high heat.
@jasongy Před 6 lety
Did you end up figuring out what the problem was. Mine have the same problem and I use it couple hours max
@SteU4IA Před 6 lety ⁺²
jasongy yes I did, the mic was totally defective. I suspect high heat causes some hardware issue. I figured this out by transplanting the mic hardware from another yi 4k.
This camera definitely has QE issues related to heat, especially when used in a hot day in its housing.
@markus4692 Před 5 lety
@@SteU4IA Mine died just after 10min of usage 3 days ago with no heat (-2° C outside, no case/housing) inside my truck. It was the left mic and I was able so save my videos by dropping the left channel of the audiostream. Fortunately, the right one was ok. Sent it back for refund to amazon after reading about yi customer support and got a Hero5 Black instead which is working fine so far. So I don't think it's caused by heat. It looks like a design flaw which is still not fixed after several years. Just cheap crap...
@Loopyengineeringco Před 5 lety
Does anyone know if the camera will work without the lcd screen plugged in? I'm looking to integrate this into a 3d printed case for a helmet.
@SteU4IA Před 5 lety
Interesting question. I don't have a solid answer but it is a touch screen camera. I don't know how much functionality you would have without it. I'm sure it will still power up as that's a hard button.
@Loopyengineeringco Před 5 lety
@@SteU4IA Thats what I was thinking. I hoped that i'd be able to control all the settings via the app. Without the screen it can be permanently attached to the helmet, really close so it reduces the aero effects on my head, lol!
@profaneus Před 4 lety
AS Motion Lab hi! Have you figure it out jet? I would like to use it with fpv drone, without screen and case, if it turne on without screen it would be nice

It's not normal. Your right microphone was broken.

Hey, Dude
what Camera are you using to record your video ??

Pretty sure it was a phone camera. Lg get I believe. Currently using a pixel 2 which is far better.

Can I connect external microphone in this camera
@SteU4IA Před 5 lety
Not the yi 4k. I believe the 4k+ has that capability.
I will post a video soon showing how to solder in a new Samsung microphone (as suggested by another viewer)
My microphone works fine now, but the quality sucks.

@SteU4IA Před 4 lety ⁺²
@@k.skowronski175 fyi, I'm not sure what his cutting software fix is, but I resolved my problem by replacing the 2 speakers. The part is available for $20. It's the speaker pcb shown in my video that was defective.
@k.skowronski175 Před 4 lety
@@SteU4IA Thank you mate, I appreciate your quick answer.. Since I'm struggling with sound on the 4k+ I am gathering information from every source I could get.. Even if the placement of the mics is a little different, this video showed me a path to get closer to the problem. But only a software solution could lower the gain on the recording mic.. It would be great to have an eqilizer, with input gain and clip/limiter.. To my mind my problem is the other way around, because I have a way too loud signal on the 4k+ and a distortion that makes any sound recording just garbage..
@SteU4IA Před 4 lety
@@k.skowronski175 interesting how the 4k+ is the complete opposite 😂. Wild attempt but I recall using one of those cheapo silicone wrapping cases on the 4k, and the silicone slightly sealed off the 2 top mics and muffled the noise a bit, have you tried that? Worse that can happen is you have a $2 silicone case haha.
@h4rrymlg Před rokem
@@SteU4IA "Replacing the speakers"?. Did you mean replacing the 2 microphones? Where did you buy the part?
