I bought a Bluetooth adapter to stream music to my car stereo (connecting it to the AUX in). I naively thought that, being capable of accepting AAC audio it would have been enough to have AAC files playing for it to work, instead it falls back on SBC. Is there a way to tell the Nexus to transmit Bluetooth audio through AAC?
Why AAC?

The AAC might have to be lower bit rate
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Because according to pretty much all tests AAC gives better quality than SBC at the same bitrate. And the receiver I have handles SBC, aptX (that I know Nexus 6P doesn't support) and AAC, all codecs that are theoretically supported by Bluetooth (Apple uses AAC for bluetooth with its equipment: http://theheadphonelist.theheadphon.../2014/03/bluetoothdesignguidelines.pdf?x65152).
Bump.
Interesting odd then Its not more forced to be used

The Galaxy Tab 7.7 can play DTS .mkv movies using DicePlayer or MX Player.
However, I don't know if it will be able to output 5.1 sound quality using a 5.1 headphones. Will it give you a surround sound effects using 5.1 headphones?
I am currently using a good quality earphone to watch DTS .mkv movies but I will consider getting a good 5.1 surround sound headphone if it actually produce the surround 5.1 effect.
....or does the Tab 7.7 will downsample the 5.1 DTS coding to stereo sound. If this is the case, then getting a 5.1 DTS surround sound headphone is pointless.
Any input reguarding this?
I've noticed you have the option to select 5.1 surround sound and I did notice a change in sound output when selected, however I don't have a 5.1 system to test it

Nobody try it out with a 5.1 surround sound headphone?
I have an .avi file with a 5.1 audio stream, but the stream is messed up - most of the sound is coming out of the FR channel, because it was improperly encoded from a mono or stereo source. I can watch the video ok on a pc if I use gomplayer and set up AC3 decoder to downmix to mono - the audio from all channels is mixed and played through L and R channels of headphones.
The Question is:
Does android have an app or a plugin to downmix to mono audio, for Nexus 7?
I know Voodoo control panel can do this, but it doesn't work with N7.
I also tried a number of players -
mx player, mobo player pro, moboplayer, dice player, vplayer, rock player lite, bs player. There may have been a few more I don't recall at the moment.
None of these players have the option to downmix to mono.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks.
You can get a stereo to mono cable for like a dollar on Amazon. Easiest solution.

Thanks. I thought about that.
There are two disadvantages - more hardware required and the volume would be almost half of what the downmix would give. And N7 already has a borderline unbearably low volume.

I use the the app Equalizer and have a the rock preset, it ups the audio nicely. Couldn't find an app to do what you want, though.

Forgive me, I'd like to bump the thread to see if anyone knows of a more elegant solution.
Are there any developers who are considering check what can be done to the HDMI output?
A wishlist:
Proper 16:9 ratio (crop home/back buttons)
Force output mode (720p, 1080i etc.)
Passthrough of digital audio streams (DD, DTS etc)
maybe more but that's what I have in mind right now.
Very thankful for anyone who has the time and interest in implementing this.

Your post has nothing to do with development. So why you ask your questions not in general section? Thats the right place.
I too would love this... The devs of mxplayer are seeing if they can implement the same thing google play movies does for hdmi with the nexus 10
The biggest problem we have is, this isn't a big problem for a lot of people... Most people don't even use the hdmi...
For those of us who do tho it is a huge problem
Sv: Development of HDMI
You are probably right. I just wish Google had implemented these functionalities from the beginning. Now it feels like a half hearted solution. Yeah we have picture sort of but no use for any media show off. Yeah we make a good tablet for movies etc but we skip good support for hdmi output.

The HDMI port cant send out audio streams along with the video?

No idea... Mostly all I care about is the scaling...
What sucks is that the exynos5 dual supports simultaneous native wqxga res(2560x1600) and 1080p at 60fps through hdmi so ii should be possible...

The good news is that Mxplayer will support full screen HDMI res for the nexus 10 the same way google play movies does...
I emailed them awhile back and they has me take some pics of what a video looks like on mxplayer and on Google movies... They just emailed me this morning saying they figured it out and it will be implemented in the next major update
Woohoo!

The N10 HDMI port DOES send audio along with the video. It works well with my Samsung HDTV. The issue is that each HDTV seems to have implemented the HDMI specification inconsistently. So some people get neither audio or video and others video only. Reading in this forum and other places Panasonic HDMI connection are notorious for poor HDMI support of devices. They most often fall in the category of no audio or video support.
As far as I know even with a working HDMI audio connection only stereo is transmited even if the source video has AC3 or DTS 5.1 audio. If you search in this forum you see people requesting that some ROM/Kernel devs add HDMI audio passthru support for the AC3 and DTS audio streams.
I send HDMI to a receiver anyway. I never thought to check but I definitely will be looking this afternoon to see if my receiver (Onkyo brand) supports both the video and audio properly from this tablet. Never had any issues though before with my computer, bluray player (Panasonic brand), or XBox. So I am assuming all will be fine for me.
Currently on stock Kitkat (update 3).
I have just invested on some Creative soundblaster evo headphones which are csr apt-x certified.
The audio quality sounds very poor as if the bitrate is below 128kbps of typical "CD quality" sound.
The sound is the same across the Tab 2 and iPad Mini which has no support for apt-x as far as specifications are concerned.

So I was going through the audio output settings of Poweramp and saw that it supports hi res output! I wasn't expecting this! Not disappointed with audio quality through headphones! Screenshots attached!
bro how is the audio output?

You have to have the full version of the latest poweramp app and then go to settings then Audio output and select hardware hi res output and enable it!!
Thanks nice info.
I want to buy this phone. but Im worried it doesnt support Hi-res output.
Hi. A question. What about headphone jack? Is it proper? Mine seems to be a bit bigger. My earphones' jack fits in loosely. I have ANT earphones and Mi Basic as well.
Asus enabled Hi Res output on M1 with the last OTA update. Hope they do the same for M2 soon.

I use a pair of Sony and a Sennheiser!! It fits perfectly! That's a weird issue you have!! Hope it's not a hardware fault!!
Pro m1 has up to 384 kHz 24 bit output.

Pairing Hi-Res Output with Viper4Android and senheiser CX-275S earphones... It feels like heaven
I turned this setting on but couldn't notice any difference, am i doing something wrong here? I have 1More piston fit.
Is this technology natively supported by our device, I mean, would this work on other music players?

Normally the difference cannot be easily made out... But it offers better quality audio... Audiophiles can probably make out the difference...
This technology seems to be only supported by Poweramp... It most probably will not work in other music players... Unless the music player developer has especially made use of Hi-Res Api

Thank you for the answer. As Asus does not provide a default music player (ignoring Play music ?) for the device, this feature would be unknown/useless to many.
However I still have one doubt; does this work on mp3s, or only onFLACs?
It should work on all
To listen the real Hi-Res
Asus Zenfone max pro m2 have Hi-Res support which is amazing and it sounds amazing only if u use a good pair of headphones and download original Hi-Res Audio files flac and wave
-----Use headphones which achieve more 40khz of frequency response then only u get the real Hi-Res eg= kz ed16 and kz zs10 pro
-----After u get Hi-Res earphones u also have to download original Hi-Res Audio files to feel the Hi-Res don't download fake Hi-Res files and upscaled Hi-Res files check every single song with spec (windows os) or aspect ( Android os) and make sure u have original Hi-Res files
---After u do all this things you will experience awesome Audio output from Asus Zenfone max pro m2

Hi-res only works on Hi-Res Audio files like flac and wav
And the actual meaning of Hi-Res is 24bit of depth rate
All mp3 are 16bit
And flac/wav has 16bit and 24bit
Flac/wav 16bit is lossless Audio
Flac/wav 24bit is Hi-Res Audio
Download the Hi-Res flac/wav for Hi-Res if u play mp3 and hoping u get Hi-Res u r wrong mp3 is lossy and sounds ****

It's not Hi-Res certified and it does not goes way up to 40khz for true Hi-Res,, it's frequency response is 22khz,, but for sure u will get the Hi-Res equivalent quality thanks to it's awesome single dynamic driver , 42ohms impedence and 112 db of sensitivity.
U r all set to enjoy Hi-Res Audio with this earphones .
It has amazing lows, superb mids and clear vocals just a bit ok/ok at highs in frequency ranges where it struggles near 18-20khz freq
If I'm wrong in any aspect feel free to correct me
-Thank You
so is the earphone audio quality still good enough without this?
