Anybody else try this new Pixel 2 phone with AOA compatible stereo?
I cannot get sound to work with my JVC stereo with this new phone.
My old Pixel phone works just fine though as well as every other Android device with AOA support in the past.

Couldn't get mine to work. Just found the "Audio Out" setting for USB in developer options and have been meaning to try it though.
After Android 8.1 update, Looks like its working again for controls and reporting song info but AOA sound is not working. The audio stays on the phone playing out of its speaker and not through the accessory it is attached to

Hi there.
I wanted to try connecting my Razer Kraken 7.1 headset to my shield via USB OTG, and to my surprise, it worked. When changing volume though, it only seems to have 2 modes: no sound at all, or louder than my desktop speakers can possibly go. I was wondering whether it would be possible for me to change my volume somehow, so that i can actually wear my headset while playing music through it. Is there some kind of solution for this?
Thanks a lot!

Short answer, you probably can't right now.. Seems like a Android limitation.
So I've been looking around and I found a thread here for the Nexus 7 (2012) trying to sort out this exact issue. Nexus 7 USB Audio Support
(and a little more)
Basically jacknorris created some custom kernels that support USB audio out for the Nexus 7, and a mod that allows for volume control.
He also made a Flashable Zip that adds just the feature you're looking for, but it's of course for the Nexus 7. Flashing it would probably mess things up, like no audio.
You could try messaging him and asking nicely if he would help you compile a fix for the Shield, he seems to have an idea of what to do with the N7, and the Shield is pretty darn stock. It's a possibility you could supply him with the files he needs to mod and then you could test them for him.
jacknorris
It looks like that thread is still active though, so you could try asking there first.
It's either this, or go and file a bug report from the shield.
Even though it's really something that Google should fix.

I just sent feedback under Software Enhancement for this bug. :good:

I used to be able to hear calls and media whilst connected to bluetooth in my car. one day it just stopped working. media still works but when i make a call or receive one, there's no audio. calls ,audio, and contacts are all checked in bluetooth settings. i've forgotten devices, rebooted, reconnecting, and nothing helps.
bluetooth connects to everything fine, but no call sound over any accessory i try. got a new car and it won't work in there either. i'm on android 7.1.2 .
searched all over and plenty of people are having these issues but none of the posts i've read solve my problem. any help would be appreciated
Hey hey, I have a 128GB pixel with the same issue. I actually opened a case with Google support today about it. about 3 months back, only phone audio stopped working in my car. I was hoping the 8.0 update would fix it but it did not. I have a 2017 Honda Civic LX. I tried everything on my phone - even factory reset. Media audio works, I can play Spotify just fine but when i get a call, I can not hear the other person and they cannot hear me. The phone indicates it is connected via bluethooth... I'll try to update this post with what they find.

128G pixel here. This happens with every Bluetooth device I connect it to. 2 car stereos, 2 speakers, and a headset. All worked fine and suddenly one day... Didn't. I was hoping O Would fix it with all the Bluetooth bug fixes and changes they implemented.

Darn, so the issue is a bit different. Mine works fine on a couple of other speakers I have.
Did anyone ever solve this? I've got the same issue, but it effects *all* my Bluetooth devices, but only when I am switched to my secondary user profile.
I've reset the phone app but no dice.
My phone will say it is connected to the Bluetooth device for the phone call. If I switch to speaker or phone and then back to Bluetooth, it works. Anyone else have similar?

Hi!
After hours of Googling you are the first I found who has the same error.
I have a Lenovo TAB4 8+, my kid wants to use Zoom and his Bluetooth headset but only the speaker and mic on the tablet works. I tried fresh install, without luck:
There are 4 type of users:
- Owner (primary - this is the only profile which works for calls on bluetooth headset)
- Standard Users (secondary - bt headset only supports listening: Spotify etc..)
- Child (bt headset only supports listening: Spotify etc..)
- Guest
The bluetooth headset is working with other devices, but not with this one. Unfortunately I have no other android device which supports multi-user.
Moreover, there was an hour when bt call worked from secondary user, but couldn't find out what is the problem.
Can anybody help me on this?
Best regards,
Karoly
Hi, last week I installed the OTA Android 8.0 update on my HTC U11.
Since this update the audio quality when streaming to my car's audio system or to my pioneer hi-fi system at home is a lot worse than on Android Nougat. Especially on tracks with a lot of high tunes. There's always a slight 'clink' noise. I don't know how to explain this in English..
Have you noticed this issue as well? Is there something I can do about it? Thanks
question are you using any sound mods?

Same for me. Since this update, the quality of phone call when connected to Bluetooth to my car is really bad. No problem with music stream connected to the same car.
I tried managing the new bluetooth options in developper mode menu but it doesn't solve the problem.
The codec used is all the time SBC even is I change it to AAC or aptX or AptxHD.

I have the same issue, it seems it was fixed in 42 version for US market(at least for LDAC)
I have 2 issues with Bluetooth connections with the car. The first is that it picks up interference from the noise of the wheels and engine while driving, and the sound quality suffers and it sounds unclear, unless I mute the vehicle.
The second is that it has a lot of trouble connecting to the car at times. Or, more often, it would not connect the media through the car. Don't know what's up with that.
I know how you feel
I've got exact same problem like yours. Although I'm using HTC u11 plus. My new pair of Bluetooth headphones have the same not OK audio quality. You're right especially the high tunes. I'm desperate, trying to reset everything, but doesn't help. If you find the solution, please let me know. Thank you.

Same issue here. I have the U11 as well and just updated to Oreo and I have the same issue as well. Music over BT was ok on Nougat but after the update, music sounds as if there is digital clipping. And it's there with both my headset and car audio system.
Got the same issue, hope they fix it soon. The only solution seems to do a RUU right now.
Btw. I am on a custom rom (LeeDroid), gonna go full stock and try again.
I would suggest looking in developer options and trying some of the different options for bluetooth in there!
Settings > about > software information > more > then tap the build number till it says you are a developer.
Then
Go to developer options and check under networking, there are some settings to toggle in there.
You may find something you are looking for! I personally haven't tried bt since the update so I don't know if it is a common issue. Good luck!
Thank you!
Thank you very much.
Playing around with the bluetooth options in the developer's menu solved this issue.
The audio quality through bluetooth is now pretty much the same as it was with the previous android os

Share what settings you stuck with so it may help the other people with the same problem
Hey there!
Same problem for me since updating my U11 to Oreo - very poor bluetooth audio quality...
I tried using different bluetooth settings under the developer options but the thing is: no matter what I choose, it keeps switching back to the default values not affecting anything at all.
If it switch back to default SBC it means your headset/BT device doesn't support other codec.

That's not necessarily true. On 7.1 both Bluetooth devices which I use can support either AAC, SBC and aptX. My understanding is this issue occured because of the removal of AVRCP 1.3. I think Google added 1.3 back to Android 8.q because of this.

Yours is not necessarily true either. I'm on 8.0 and I can still use aptX if I want but only if my BT device supports aptX.

I'm not arguing that aptX and other codecs aren't working on 8.0. What I'm saying is that with certain devices, we are no longer seem to be able to use certain codecs that we could use prior. It's obviously device dependent, but to say their isn't a problem and blame it on the Bluetooth device is incorrect. Infact the same problem has occurred on non HTC devices when they've upgraded to 8.0 such as the OnePlus.

Fair enough, I didn't understand.
Does anyone know how to make the bluetooth options under developer options stick? I'm on stock unlocked Oreo, and they go back to defaults as soon as I change them. I've tried changing them whilst connected in the car, but no change. The only thing that could make a difference is that I'm running Pitch Black Substratum theme. Anyone else got them to stick?
In my Audi a3 2015 before oreo i can able to skip the track with entertainment commad and in the display i saw name of the track. After update i have lost all funtionality and the car see my device only like esternal suorce . Can i do something?
Hey Y'all, can someone snap a screen shot of the Nougat bluetooth setting in the Developer Options menu. Since the Oreo update my Bluetooth device (car stereo) doesn't launch or control the music apps(Pandora) automatically like it did when I turn on the car. I don't know whats up because the phone connects for calls. The stereo plays Pandora over bluetooth but not through the Pandora control app built in to the stereo if I open Pandora manually. My wifes S7 still connects and controls through the built in Pandora app. The stereo is a few years old so I doubt Kenwood is gonna update it, plus its and Oreo issue anyway. Attached is a SS from the Oreo settings.
Thanks or whatever!
Dont no one know how to take a screenshot and post it?
I have to mess with my Pioneer head unit and phone to get my media to connect as well. Eventually I get it to connect but it is a hassle. This has been going on for a while even on my last phone which was the Note 4. Something changed in one of the Android versions I imagine. I would love to hear if you figure it out.

Yesterday's update to 9.0 fixed my issuebut it's kinda strange because Spotify control from head unit worked the while time.
Anyone have issues with low volume with android auto. My 3 XL works fine, proper volume etc....But with my 3a whenever I try and play music the volume is very low. I have to turn the head unit volume all the way up to even hear it.
I tried a different cable, resetting car and phone. etc
If yours is good are you on Pie?
Thanks
Direct connection or via Bluetooth?
If Bluetooth, there is a setting in the developer settings called "Disable absolute volume". Click that and it may fix your Bluetooth volume issues.

Reported. Still an issue on DP6.
Edit: please star it if you experience the issue as well.
I have a Pixel 2 XL and have the exact same issue. Started having the issues in DP5 and it's continuing into DP6. I also just got my phone replaced yesterday by Google for a screen burn, so the first thing I did was update to Q and check to see if it was maybe the old phone, but nope, even with a straight from factory phone with new install of Q it's no different.

Found a Reddit article with a work around for this issue. It worked for me so maybe it will work for you! In developer settings change the below Bluetooth setting to 1.6 and reboot phone and try again.

Odd a Bluetooth setting fixes USB audio routing. Audio through BT is fine in the car, only when routing through USB it is low. Will try next time I drive my in-law's car.

I agree it is odd. However after thinking about it a little when using android auto it requires your phone to be connected via bluetooth at the same time. Even if you un-pair your phone and turn off your bluetooth android auto turns bluetooth back on and pairs your phone to your car.(Atleast with mine that is)
But I have been having success since Friday now after making that change so hopefully it helps you out as well!
I saw the suggestion of that during DP5 and tried that and there was very little difference for me switching to 1.6
