My setup is HDMI to my Vizio E65 and optical to my Onkyo receiver that is DTS and Dolby capable. I get Dolby passthrough from my PS3 and my DirectTV Genie with no problems. I only get Pro Logic when streaming HD content through Kodi on the Genesis Specto Fork. I have read that other people have been getting passthrough with Kodi. I have the audio settings set to passthrough but all I get is a 2 channel audio feed. Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

you need to go into "system=system=audio output" settings in kodi, make sure you click on settings level "expert" left side bottom you will see all the audio options there
Thanks for the input. I had already found the expert settings and have it set up to pass though but still get 2 channel on all movies and shows on Genesis. I'm starting to think maybe its the content on Genesis. Any suggestions of other content that I could try that would in Dolby Digital?
Pretty sure its just the content you're watching. Try downloading something (legally of course!) that has the audio quality you are looking for and playing that through KODI. I'm able to bitstream DTS-MA via KODI with no issues via HDMI to my Denon AVR with content that has that audio format.
Thanks for the advice. I'd like to try that but I don't know where to find content that I know would have Dolby digital.....Any ideas?
Hi,
I've the OP5 128 GB, in the setting and advanced, we have an option Bluetooth audio codec. In this step we have 3 codec we can try :
* aptX HD
*aptX
*SBC
By default, SBC is select, but do you have try others ? what's the best ?
Sometime, i loose the bluetooth connection in my car and i must to off/on the connection.
Thank you.

When this was brought up before: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/help/whats-to-aptx-hd-aptx-sbc-bluetooth-t3627794
tl;dr set it to aptX HD and hope it falls back gracefully when not supported. No idea why it wasn't set as default...
I don't think the Bluetooth connection issue with your car has anything to do with the codec. Mine has trouble connecting every time regardless of what is picked. It is really frustrating, so hopefully it'll improve with a future update...
Depends on which codec your headphones supports of headphones supports aptxx

If your device supports Aptx (like some High-Rez Audio headseats), go for it .
If not select SBC
Aptx HD in only for Bluetooth 5.0 devices (actually no headsets or car audio system are available on the market with this feature)

Why not just select aptX[ HD] and let the devices negotiate down if it's unsupported?
Hmm my Sony XB650BT seems to connect using aptx hd. It doesn't appear to step down, but maybe it's playing aptx but still on aptx hd? The headset lists that it is aptx.

Unfortunately no because most of the time the AD2P protocol will choose SBC as the default codec if the codec you chose (aptx or aptx hd) is not compatible/available

As far as I know this is true and matches my experiences bouncing between aptX in my car and my non aptx Bose qc 25..

I got the Oreo update and in developer options you're supposed to be able to change the codec, samplerate and a few other things to improve Bluetooth audio. However when I select a codec it doesn't change. It defaults to aac. I wanted to use Ldac. Tried aptx hd and Samsung hd as well and they don't work.
I have the same issue. When you select for example, AptX, the settings don't seem to stick.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
Same here on S9+ cant change codec, always goes back to AAC

Try deactivating Bluetooth, then change the codec. Should work. Cheers
Which codec is best? AAC was my default.
Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk
Apt-X is the best. That being said, the bluetooth device you connect too has to be compatible. Maybe that's why it switches back to AAC for you. (It sticks to apt X in my case)
Same problem here, it doesn't seem to stick. Even if I disable bluetooth. After closing and re-opening developer options it reverts back to SBC.
Any fix?
For me it only changed when a device was actually connected
Mine does not stay after I change it, it goes back to SBC.
Yo, everyone. I use a sennheiser gt 4.40 with aptx with s8. If you want to enable aptx. first go to BLUETOOTH settings, click the 3 dots. disable the duo bluetooth audio and then go to the developer settings, you will see it's working. but to be honest, I find no difference between these. LOL
Cheers

Finally! Disabling dul audio is what allows the setting to work on my Note 8. Using Forza Metallo headphones there is a VERY noticeable improvement when using aptx!
The audio codec is switching back from LDAC because your bluetooth headphones/speaker doesnt support LDAC. Same would be the case with APTX HD.

My problem is my stereo in my car is older and needs to use the SBC codec to stay connected with any reliability, but the phone automatically switches back to AAC when it connects to it. If I switch it back to SBC after it connects I have no connectivity issues but if I leave it on AAC it disconnects every 5 mins, won't display some track information, etc.
Duo bluetooth audio is not enabled, I have changed settings with both bluetooth and duo audio off. It will accept the change to SBC, but it reverts back to AAC when the stereo connects. The phone will not accept any change to any other bluetooth developer option either, when I exit the developer options and go back in they all are reverted back from my changes. Quite frustrating.

Just logged cause of this solution, thank you comrade, this solved the issue.
on the s9 plus u can only change to profiles whilst playing sound through the bluetooth headphones and only codecs the headphones support. when you re-pair it will auto select the best codec the headphones support anyway so no need to change it at all. i would leave this setting alone unless you want to dowbscale the codec (as it picks the best one for your bluetooth device)
Codec change on S8 does not stick
I have tried the dual audio status trick mentioned above for Note 8, but it doesn't work for my S8. I can select AptX in the developers section, but when you return to that section, the codec selected reverts to SBC. I have a pair of earbuds that supports AptX. Is Samsung pulling a fast one on us?

Worked for my s8. I am using it with a fiio q5. Aptx sticks after duo audio disable.
My S7 kept reverting back to aptx after I used LDAC With mij Sony 1000mx2.
There is an extra setting in the bluetooth settings for that headphone (tap the little)cog) to enable LDAC.
Switching that on worked for me.
where is this setting Dul Audio?

Hi
The A95X F4, works with Dolby, but it doesn't work for TRUE HD Audio all the channels
In the settings, I see that the firmware did not enable True HD audio in the selectable formats for pass-through but still works
I've tried different versions of Kodi thinking that if it has its own codec it won't rely on android settings but get the same.
When I play a file with True HD audio, it is played in dolby but downscaled, the input signal should show 8 but does and only shows 6 but the active speakers shows 8
I wanted to ask if I use MX Player with added codecs, will this allow TRUE HD audio to be streamed regardless of whether it shows up in Android settings.
I plugged in an old Android 7 box and everything works great regarding audio.
I will really appreciate everyone's help here
Thanks a lot
