Does anybody know how to get the audio codecs to change from sbc to any other setting and have them stick?no matter what I do it reverts back to sbc.
The device say if you are using a bluetooth headset should support other codecs like aptx, LDAC etc.,
I use Sony XB series bluetooth headphone, the audio codec in developer options sticks to LDAC only if I choose the headphones connection for quality in the Sony app.....else by default it reverts to SBC.

It will revert to SBC when nothing is connected. It will switch as soon as you connect an audio device. When I connect my Bluedio Victory, it switches to APTX on it´s own. The same applies to my car (also APTX) and to Galaxy Buds+ which use the Samsung Scalable Codec.
There's a setting within Developer mode to switch which codec to use

It seems that the Harman/Kardon Onyx 3 does not support any other codec than SBC. The phone won´t let you change the codec and revert back to SBC if the speaker does not support it.
Well Thank you for that information I did not know that.

On my 6.1 plus running android Pie, connecting my bluetooth headphones that supports AAC doesn't seem to work.
In the bluetooth device options, the HD Audio: AAC is shown and enabled after the initial pairing, but disappears after reconnecting.
In addition, the codec in use as shown in developer options shows SBC and refuses to change to AAC.
And poweramp also says it's using SBC.
I know my bluetooth headphones do support AAC because on another device, that was the codec in use.
Is anyone else having this issue?

On my Moto X4 also have this same problem after upgrading to Android 9
I tried with my Nokia 6.1, it connects and keep the connection as AAC with a Sony XB40 and a Pioneer NEX5200, at every connection. However the Sony supports LDAC, and even if the ldac libraries are on the phone, it only uses AAC
Bluetooth on pie is 100% f**ked. Google broke it after the first beta release. It affects all devices, including their flagship pixel line.
Flash an 8.1 rom or get an iPhone. That's your options unfortunately.
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.

Hi,
after enabled Developer options, i tried to change the bluetooth audio codec from AAC to LDAC, but everytime i set, it will then reset upon back and return to the option.
currently using Jabra Elite Active 65t.
May i know why is it?

Thats because those headphones dont support that codec. I have the regular 65t. If the device doesn't support a certain codec it will just go back to one that it does support.
Test it by choosing the sbc codec and it should change to it and stick. You will even notice a short pause in the music while it changes codecs.
I'd like to maximize the audio quality for my ear buds but the settings won't stick-- they can be changed on the Developers options page but they don't stick. For instance- if I select aptX as the bt audio codec it displays aptX but the phone reverts to the default SBC. Same goes for sample rate, bits per sample and and LDAC playback quality. The options are there but you can't force the phone to use them... Does it require the phone be rooted to make these settings work?
The earbuds you are using should support all the codecs.
Else it will revert back to default which is SBC even if you force it in developer settings.
Thanks very much for the reply. These are the new Ear buds plus so the problem lies with them not the phone. Much appreciated Kiran-Kumar.

I remember reading somewhere that the buds support aac and scalable codecs additionally apart from the default one...Did you try choosing them in the dev options?
Also check under bluetooth settings against the paired device( buds in your case ), click on the setting icon at the right corner and see if there are some settings to be enabled.
They do support aac and scalable. I set it to scalable, where I've done most of my testing. Can't hear any difference between that and aac so far- it's kind of subtle. The buds are good but I know they can be a lot better. Appreciate the help.
