Android Auto: No audio on outgoing calls

[David Fanning]

I love my new 2023 Mach E Premium.
Everything works great, except the phone.
I can make and receive calls, but about 50% of the time, I cannot hear the other person. They can hear.me, but I have no audio. If they call me it works fine, so people mostly call me back, but it is annoying. I am not sure what to try at this point.

This is a known (and VERY annoying bug) that has yet to be fixed. The best work around I've found is on the phone call interface within Android Auto is to switch from bluetooth, to speaker or handset, and then back to bluetooth

Thank you.
I will try that.

I also experience this issue. Phone calls seem to work better when someone calls me. Issue happens almost every time when I call out.

How can this happen and continue to haooen in a car this new and technologically advanced? I have the same problem. I've been told to unpair and re-pair my Android phone at least two dozen times in 2+ years of ownership, which is about 23 times more than I did it in my 2012 Kia Optima. Granted it didn't have Android Auto but it played audio flawlessly and I made hundreds of calls every year without a hitch.

My issue a bit different. Android Auto in use, music playing. Call comes in, all good. But, after the call, no music! Even though play bar moving. Worse, new calls have no sound. Very Annoying!
I'll try the switch speaker/bluetooth thing.

PS Ford! Really? You guys need some serious bug fixing. In my software engineering company, when bug lists grew too big, all new features were put on hold until the backlog was reduced so that it was tolerable by customers. Just sayin'
