I just bought some nice Sony H.ear on bluetooth headphones and was wondering about the audio codecs. I turned on developer options and it's set to "Use system selection". I see the Sony headphones work with LDAC and was wondering if the phone notices that somehow and will switch over to the LDAC or if I have to manually switch to that. Any advice? I thought I could ask Sony but they will probably say that's your phone's problem.

using Sony WH-1000XM3 BT headphones and was wondering if anyone can confirm if the LDAC codec is supported for this device thx
Would live yo know this as well!
Just received the phone and tested with Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones. Upon starting the sony headphones app shows aptx HD by default. The developer options allows changing to LDAC and the sony headphones app then shows LDAC as the connection mode. Using Spotify to play some music doesn't switch back to aptx HD. Upon restart the phone does change back again to aptx HD. LDAC thus seems to work on the phone.
Does the Nokia 6.1 (with Pie) support HD bluetooth codecs? Did someone tried to pair with sony or others headphones and check if LDAC is working?
I'm not much of an audiophile myself. I've never tested any of these out, but here's what bluetooth codec selection looks like in developer options.

yeah but it seems it does not work, everytime you exit the option, it go back to default.
I tested a BT speaker Sony XB40 and a car stereo Pioneer NEX, and both have "HD Audio" in their bluetooth properties displaying "HD Audio: AAC". I cannot change it, I tried to change the codec in the dev option, but it does nothing.
I don't think the developer options are meant to be changed. I think they are there to show what the phone auto-selects when playing.
This screenshot is from another phone, while playing to an AptX device. I think it works the same way on Nokia.
Got a pair of Sony WH-1000XM3's today. The headphones support SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD, LDAC Bluetooth Codecs but according to the App its only ussing AptX. It looks like the Note 10+ should support LDAC which I'm told is one of the best. I can turn it on in the developer menu, but then it just seems to turn off and go back to AptX.
Any idea how to get it working?
Go to the bluetooth settings and then select the headphones and enable LDAC for the headphones

You're lucky yours stays on AptX. Mine switches back to SBC no matter what I do.
I've also got the Sony WH-1000XM3 and would be interested to know how to switch. The suggested method of selecting the headset only shows the Name, the option to unpair and use for "Calls" and "Audio" and nothing about LDAC.

So I did find out if I go to the gear icon for the paired WH-1000XM3, at the bottom it says Codecs and does list LDAC. It was off, so I turned it on and it seemed to stay. Not sure about AptX HD but I think LDAC is better anyways.

Exynos or Snapdragon?
I'm on Exynos and i dont see anything as such on the bluetooth setting.
Got it working finally....
1. Sony companion app, set Sound Quality Mode to Priority on Sound Quality.
2. Now you ll have the LDAC option enabled on your bluetooth settings for your paired headphone under calls and audio. Turn it on.
Now you ll have the developer options > bluetooth audio codec stick to LDAC.
Also interested if this is the same for Exynos processors.

Yes it is. It's an Android option so should be on all version.
Had it on my exynos note 9..and now my exynos note10+
Now I suggest you to try another tweak on developer settings: Bluetooth Audio LDAC Codec. Try to put it 990kbps. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a reliable Bluetooth connection and it "cracks" the sound sometimes. I'm still testing, buy seems pretty stable at 660kbps.

Same issue here. Poor quality connection between my Sony XM3s and my Note 10+ when using LDAC at the maximum bandwidth.

I have the WI-1000X's, found if you try any of the EQ settings in the app it forces you to SBC.
Also @A_DrunkTeddyBear thank you for the LDAC tip, got it enabled on mine now.

Hello everyone.
Since 2 months I know have this "strange" phenomenon that when I connect my Realme 6 Pro to my Bluetooth sound device of my choice, for the first few times connecting there are only popping/cracking noise sounds coming out. No music or anything relatable. After connecting around 5-10 times, it finally will play music (also it suddenly goes back to the cracking state when clicking around in youtube).
Bonus: most of the time (even if connected right and playing music) the microphone wont work in calls.
I cant fix this sh*t and it really bothers me a lot lately.
Hopefully someone can help, or else I´m going to throw this phone into the trash can... xD
Greetings.
My BT works fine for the most part, but sometimes it breaks up. I am really hoping it's just a software issue
Me too, for about 2 or 3 months now. Wasn't a problem before. Thinking I'll try factory reset soon, see if that fixes it.
Hey! I also have this problem and what i found is, if your Bluetooth audio support Aptx codec, it will enable option "Use High Quality Audio" in your audio bluetooth settings. Try to disable (it will use SBC Codec) and my problem disappear.
But, it really annoying. I already try my bluetooth audio with another phone and it worked fine with Aptx, so i know my bluetooth audio is not my problem. My workaround so far are disable high quality audio, then enable Aptx manually in developer options with AVCRP 1.6
Not sure if my device actually using SBC codec or Aptx after change it manually on developer options
Hi All! I solved problems with Bluetooth by switch off Dolby Atmos!

Hello,
I was trying to switch the Bluetooth Audio Codec to Qualcomm aptX to be used with my SoundPeats TruEngine 3 SE wireless earbuds. I am able to select aptX when the Bluetooth is switched on,
but as soon as I connect my earbuds it switches by to AAC
I am certain that my earbuds support aptX codec ( Product Spec is available here
Had anyone this same issue? Is there any way I can resolve this? I just want to make sure it is an with the issue with the phone so I can be certain that I don't have to return the earbuds.
