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.

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.
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?
Android 9 Pie

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.
Hi,
I have a Bagotte Stereo Bluetooth Headset, which works in Stereo Mode in Music Listening only mode in good quality...
See:
https://amzn.to/2V8bAdg
which claims to have a HD Microphone and supports Apt-X Codecs...
But now I wanted to try to change the Audio codecs to see, what are the best sounding Audio Codecs...
So I found this Android app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wikimediacom.aptx.checker
the Apt-X checker,
but after watching this video, which shows, how to change the audio codecs in the phone:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVK4UIHOEGE
And I can also change this in my phone....
But the Apt-X checker APP does not detect, when I have enabled the Apt-X codecs...
And I also hear no difference....
Also this app has bad review and saying it is a bogus App.... Hmm....
So how can I enable these codecs and test them out the best way with this headset ?
Are there any better Bluetooth testing Apps, that really tell me the used codecs and its settings ?
Or how can I find this out ?
Many thanks.
Regards, Stefan.
Xiaomi provides poor codecs support. Right now, Mi A2 Lite is using SBC codec only, while on Oreo we at least have had access to AAC too.

I just installed a good Audio player today and then went into the Developer mode setup and set the Bluetooth Audio codecs to Apt-X 48 Khz and 32 Bit
and then started the player. but after each stop it switched back to SBC 16 Bits 44 Khz....
So no luck with switching the Bluetooth Headset to APT-X, which my headset supports... Damn..
Also my BT Headset supports under Skype only 8 KHz sampling rate... I really can hear the difference between it and and normal
wired headset when I call the the test-echo Service of Skype... with the wired Microphone it is much clearer, than with the Narrowband
SBC codec with my Bagotte BT Headset...
So is there any other solution to get the headset to work with a Wideband Codec also in Skype and other Audio applications like Audio recorders,
which at least use a sampling frequency of 16 or better 44 or 48 KHz via Bluetooth ?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/basic-aptx-bluetooth-audio-pie-t3891715
So, if you install Magisk on Andoid 9 Pie you will get ALL the Bluetooth codecs to work or what ??
I already considder installing a custom ROM , which does fully support the Wideband codecs under Skype Audio calls and other audio applications..
I would like my BT Stereo Headphone with APT-X to work with Skype with Wideband codec and also use my BT Headset for
Audio recordings with at least 44 or 48 Khz sampling frequency and not just the 8 Khz Mono SBC Codec that is really crappy....
Which custom Rom does this allow on the Mi-A2 Lite ?
How about the Lineage OS versions or MUI versions ?
Many thanks.

I recently bought a Bluetooth ear buds, when I watch movie or play game(pubg) the sound comes in earbuds late.
Is there any way to fix that latency?
My phone - Redmi note 5 pro(MiuiPro ROM)
Earbud - Boult audio airbass tru5ve (5.0)
Some level of latency is expected in bluetooth earbuds, the best you can do is try to change bluetooth codec to aptX in developer options if your bud supports it but there is no way to remove the latency completely.
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.
