It wont let me change these settings, regardless of if im connected to a bluetooth device or not. Do i need to have other settings enabled/disabled before i can change the audio settings under the developer options menu?
I have the U.S model with the Qualcomm snapdragon chipset, running android 12 and One UI 4.1, in case that's worth noting.
Im not sure if these will be of any use but just for reference heres 2 screenshots of the menus im unable to interact with.
All other bluetooth settings between "HD audio" and "Bluetooth Audio Codec LDAC:"
I'm unable to change, even though i can open the menus and none of the options appear to be grayed-out.
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere. Im fairly new here and android 12 as well (most recent android version ive used in recent years is android 8.0 oreo). still learning my way around.
thanks in advance for any help, answers, etc.

tldr: I’m no help, but I can confirm some parts.
I’ve got a pair of Sony WF-1000XM3. As long as the headphones are connected, I can turn on and off the HD audio setting and switch between SBC and AAC (they don’t support better standards).
My old Bluetooth speaker and a Jabra Evolve 65 don't activate this settings, so it depends on the Bluetooth version and supported audio formats?

Yes I can confirm that, same here.
It's as simple as connecting a headset capable of this codecs/options.
I think generally the best option would be selected automatically.

You can only initiate the changes for HD codecs when the bluetooth device is connected. Example, With Sony linkbuds S, I can select LDAC Or AptX. Once configured, the codec activates every time you connect the BT device.

Anyway, how to use this?
What kind of earphone and what kind of button?
Hi.
I'm looking for some help regarding the functions available via the steering wheel on my Mondeo MK4. I've read numerous threads that touch on this topic but I haven't found any definitive answers so I thought It would be worth starting a specific one here.
Background
I replaced the original Sony 6 CD Head Unit with an Auto-Pumpkin (MTCC RK3188 KLD6 V2.91) which has an external CAN bus decoder.
What works (the left steering wheel button array):-
Volume Up/Down
Track next/previous
Function button to cycle between AM/FM Radio, DVD, AV-IN, Video, Audio App
What doesn't work (the right steering wheel button array and indicator stick additional functions):-
Ability to select mobile phone options (answer/end calls, call list, address book)
Voice commands button
I never used the voice controls so that's no great loss, but I did use the mobile phone controls often, so would like to explore the options of regaining them.
I am aware that varying levels of CAN bus functionality can be achieved by selecting different configurations from the settings menu on the head unit, and some people have even re-wired for improved function but not on a MK4 Mondeo (that I can find via google).
I'm assuming the phone issue is CAN bus related because when I select any function that is based on the SoM (DVD, FM Radio, Video in etc) the Convers+ shows more options, including phone (although it is greyed-out - I'm assuming because no phone is paired). I also noticed that the Ford bluetooth module is still active as it shows up, but only when this menu is available. Unfortunately I can't connect to it because the Android HU doesn't display the PIN for pairing like the original Sony HU did.
This is a picture of the Convers+ when the Android HU is operating with only Android apps running (e.g. DAB tuner, Rocket Player)

This is picture of the same Convers+ when any of the SoM apps are running (DVD, FM Radio, Video in etc)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it would seem that the CAN bus controller activates only when one of the SoM apps are running? I only understand the basics of CAN bus and how it interacts with the HU so this is very much a wild guess.
What I would like is to have my phone controls available via steering wheel buttons, in whatever way that is possible.
Any help, advice or suggestions are, as always, greatly appreciated.
p.s. these are the HU details
So on the G7 as with other recent LG phones I have used (G6 and V30) there is no syncing of the media volume between the device and Bluetooth headphones i.e. you have to set the volume independently on the device and headphones which means on headphones that have no companion app (e.g. Beats Studio 3) you have no way of viewing the volume of the headphones as the media volume shown is just for the device. It is the same story on the Sony WH1000x (but the companion app at least lets me see the volume) but curiously the WI1000x do sometimes link the volumes ok which is strange?
This obviously works on an iPhone and also seems to work just fine on other android phones I have tried recently including the pixel 2xl, Samsung S9+ and OnePlus 6.
Is this just another quirk of LG’s awful software or is there a way around it? It may sound quite minor but as someone who uses his phone for music every day it is really annoying and it making me consider taking the hit and selling it on for a S9+ or 2XL?
Thanks
I would like to have a solution to this as well, it's annoying that Mt by headphones don't sync up the volume with my phone like my s8 did.
I wonder if the fact that the wi1000x work sometimes coupled with there not being a separate Bluetooth volume display means that it is supposed to work but is a long standing bug? It was the same on the G6 and V30. Was hoping it had been fixed with Oreo.
I just had a check at my local HiFi shop.
I tested several headphones on BT to my brand new LG V30.
Only one headset had synchronized volume: Sony WH-1000Xm2
None of the following headphones had sync: my own Sennheiser PXC 550 and the shop's B&O H9i, B&W PX
Strangely, the headset's battery status is shown on my LG status bar so there is a communication, but it seems LG in some way has skipped the volume sync possibility.

I come from Moto Z Play (Oreo, Android 8) and on that device the sync worked without any issues.
Hello.
I have installed the AOSP based ArrowOS and CrDroid roms and the audio lag on my bluetooth earbuds is considerable. According to the Audio Checker app, the latency is 244 ms, but in reality the latency has to be close to a second, especially when I'm using the Moonlight Game Streaming app.

}
However, in Miui or Xiaomi EU the latency is imperceptible. Audio Checker shows 80 ms of latency in these roms and in practice it is the same, I have even played Resident Evil 8 with bluetooth headphones and with a kishi connected to the mobile transmitting from my computer. The experience is good considering I'm using $30 Tozo T12 headphones.
As you can see in the attached images, in the miui based roms the audio buffer size is smaller than in the Aosp roms, at least that is what the Audio Checker app shows. So is it possible to modify some system file (I have root access) on those AOSP based roms to reduce bluetooth audio latency?
What Bluetooth Audio Codec is used on both? AptX? SBC?
The Codec makes a huge difference in the Sound Lag (and Sound Quality)
Ideally use AptX, if supported by the headphone

It's showing 240ms for all codecs. SBC, aptx, aptx-HD, LDAC

The app was last updated 7 years ago. I wouldn't trust its values too much..
But I've heard of other people complaining about significant Bluetooth Audio Delay in AOSP ROMs, compared to MIUI...
But does your Bluetooth headphone support AptX? You might be able to enable this in Bluetooth device settings.
Could try asking their respective Telegram Groups...
My A5 (2017) is running on magisk rooted stock android 8.
I've been messing around trying to get better audio from this phone, and have found a method to... at very least make it look like I'm using LDAC.. at best actually use it.
I'm unsure if I truly am using LDAC, or if there is any difference to the audio quality at all.
(im the master of the placebo effect )
I use SetEdit w/ Feature Pack to keep a few Global settings set to 1 (true) . After a certain event involving the headphone, or a random amount of time (idk) the "_supports_ldac" settings I've changed go back to 0 (false). SetEdit keeps my changes persistent.

Sidenote, this little tweak FEELS like it has an effect on the audio.
& I can do something similar with my A51 (non-rooted, One UI 4.1) & the UHQ upscaling/bit ajustment built into the settings that is usually grey-ed out.. and dedicated for wired devices?
also works with different audio devices.. like my Skull Candy Uproar, and cheap BlueHive earbuds (035-7309-4)
Now thats all fine and dandy.. but......
but I cannot set the "Bluetooth Audio Codec" in dev settings to LDAC, when clicked it returns back to SBC. my only supported codec
same goes for sample rate, bit rate and sort of the LDAC Playback Quality. My A51 behaves the same.
I can change the playback quality from Best Effort, and it sticks.
But if I click the option, the selector is back to Best Effort... AND MY SELECTION of Optimized for Audio Quality still sticks. weird.
--------------------------------------------------------
Here is screenshots of the A51.
If I launch the android shortcut "com.sec.android.app.soundalive.activity.UHQUpscalerActivity" the page below opens, and I can freely change the settings and they stick as long as SetEdit is doing its thing.
I can't figure out how to access this page without launching the activity...
-----------------------------------------
To sum it all up, I have some nooby questions.
Am I actually getting LDAC & UHQ upscaling with unsupported devices?
Is there a way to test the truth of what I'm seeing and "hearing"?
Is this weirdly specific "hack" and my curiosity confusing enough? or am I insane?
