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.

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 all,
I can choose all the settings in my Umidigi A1 Pro but when connecting BT settings go back to default SBC. Android 8.1 has as far as I can see no more 3 dots or dual playback.
Default:
avrcp 1.4
sbc codec
44.1 khz
16 bit
stereo
ldac default=best
To preface, on OxygenOS 5.0.x/Android 8.0 we were provided with additional bluetooth codecs and additional setup for bluetooth codec manipulation in Setup>Advanced and Setup>Dev Options. In OxygenOS 5.1.x/Android 8.1, the Setup>Advanced options were removed. I'm currently on 5.1.4 on my OP5.
That out of the way, I'm trying to validate if anyone else is experiencing an issue that I'm having. I have a set of Bose QC35 bluetooth headphones that support the AAC bluetooth codec, support of which was added to the OP5 with Oreo. In OxygenOS 5.0.x, I had no problems with it. In OxygenOS 5.1.x, it will only connect with AAC when first paired. If I turn off the headphones and turn them back on, when it reconnects, it defaults to SBC and will not switch back to AAC unless I unpair and repair the headphones.
Does anyone else have Bose QC35 headphones that can confirm this behavior? Or perhaps another set of headphones that support AAC? I've tested with a pair of headphones that support aptX and it keeps the codec, so it appears to be either an issue with AAC on OxygenOS 5.1.x, my headphones, my phone, or Android 8.1 in general. Any validation would be helpful. Thank you

in the open betas the advanced bluetooth options are still there under developer options
can't help you with any of the other queries as I use apt-x HD
Hello everybody!
As I know our Nokia 5 (Android 8.1) supports Bluetooth audio codecs like AAC or aptX. So I want to use my Anker Soundbuds Sport IE20, which also supports aptX.
The problem is that I can choose aptX in the developer options and I can use it too. But I must choose it everytime if I want to hear music with my BT-headset. When I choose it, it works and I hear a difference to SBC and the same when I choose AAC.
So I want to ask you why my Nokia 5 doesn't choose aptX automatically, because it should do that (as I know)?
I hope somebody can help me with that
Edit: With my old Samsung Galaxy S5 it works perfectly without any problem.
Could anyone with the phone double-check their bluetooth codec options?
Being Android 8.1.0, it should have LDAC ... and that is extremely important to me. But it's missing from my phone. I have tried installing JamesDSP through Magisk, and it works, however I do not see how to enable its LDAC so its running everything through SBC or whatever that low-quality sounding codec is called.
Thanks.
Brian
I also wondered if such audio drivers like LDAC enabling is similar to having 4K 265H codec built in to the chipset & not a question of software updates can enable.....
Hi everyone! I just bought the Sony 1000XM4 headphones. The headphones support SBC, AAC and LDAC. However, when I connect to my device (Max Pro M2), I can only use SBC. even though in the bluetooth settings for the headphones, the option HD Audio: AAC (No LDAC) is enabled.
I went to the developer options to set the Bluetooth codec to LDAC (Qualcomm aptX Adaptive Audio), but the setting does not stick.
I don't have the 'Connect to two devices simultaneously' option enabled and the priority is on Sound Quality instead of Connection Quality.
I have tried resetting the WiFi and bluetooth settings but still can't get it to work.
I tried connecting the headphones to the Sony XZs and it instantly gave the option to use LDAC and used it. This makes me wonder if this phone even supports LDAC, even though on the internet it says that it does. I can't even use AAC, I am stuck on SBC.
Does anyone have any idea? Please?

I'm on Havoc 3.11, I don't know about stock ROM.
Yeah, couldn't get it to work on the stock ROM. Now, I'm on Resurrection Remix and it works!
