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?
Hi.
I've seen barely any mention of this issue.
I've tried several ROMs like Bliss, Havoc and Evolution, all of them Q.
I have an EarStudio E100 DAC which supports AptX and AptX HD, which were working perfectly well on Android 9.
I was able to select the right codec from Developer Options and the sound would be much better and SBC or AAC, but now on Android 10, there is no difference whatsoever. I can select AptX HD it does not stick and reverts back to the lowest quality codec.
Any idea on how to solve this?
EDIT:
On Reddit, from user CoolGeek71, I found out that selecting the capabilities FIRST and only after that selecting AptX HD inside Developer Options, Android will use the requested codec. So, instead of selecting AptX HD only as it was on Pie, I have to select before the "Bluetooth Audio Sample Rate" to 44.1kHz or 48kHz and "Bluetooth Audio Bits per Sample" to 24 bits. Only then, stupid Android 10 will use it.
Once again, Google making simple things harder to use.
I noticed that if I change the developer settings for Bluetooth codec it automatically changes it back to defaults after I close out of the settings.

This stupid problem is also present with LDAC quality settings as well. I use the Fiio BTR5.
Interestingly, Beta 8 fixed this issue. However this bug has reared its ugly head on the newest 1.0.3.1 again.
Hi Guys,
I have a headset with qualcomm's qcc5124 chipset, which supports multiple aptx codecs.
But whatever i try in developer mode to change the codec as soon as i leave the menu it changes to default. I also noticed in my phone i only have aptx and aptx hd. I am missing codecs like aptx LL and aptx adaptive.
I have searched the internet and found similar threads but not a solution that works for me.

I think the 7 Pro can't use aptx LL and adaptive, thats why you can't enable it.

If the manufacturer of the headphone says that it supports aptX then by default it will be switched to it when connected.Manually changing them will reset after you exit settings.
Hey Folks,
Can any one help me figure out How to enable AptX Codecs on my OnePlus 7 (GM1900 running OOS 10.3.3.GM57AA)?
I tried many times in Developer settings, but they get reverted the next moment always. Any workaround???
I bought a pair of Earbuds but cannot enjoy this feature. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

They are auto tuned if your hardwares(earbuds) are not supporting AptX codec then it always uses default codec you can't do anything about it...
At least not in Oxygen Os
Soundpeats Trueair earbuds are equipped with QCC3020 which is capable of AptX codecs. It must be a bug in OOS. I tried to force use AptX codecs in Developer settings but only to fail.

Maybe you are right
have you tried the magisk modules to enable aptx and other codecs?

for me only AAC codec worked because my earbuds only supports AAC codec you can see in the screenshot my earbuds is AAC enabled,check yours also if it is AptX enabled after connecting to phone or not. i thought that you want to switch to AptX codec to remove latency issues...or may be i am wrong ?

I do not get this extra option in ear buds settings.
But I got the AptX enable menu when I connected the same buds with a Oppo Reno device. So it's a Op7 device OS issue. I have taken the issue up to the OOS Team in OP forums. They have taken logcats and said they are working on this issue. Hope to get it solved.
Hi, Can i use LDAC codec with s22 ultra and Sony WF-1000XM4 ? In the developer options i can't, even if I select LDAC, it remains on AAC ? Any ideeas please ? Thanks a lot
You don't need to go to developer options. Open Bluetooth settings, find the XM4, tap the settings wheel and select LDAC codec (you need to have the headphones connected to activate this option)
That stumped me as well when I first tried activating LDAC as well on my Soundcore Liberty 3 earbuds. xsam123 is correct
Perfect, it works ! Thanks !
Hi!
If you have any other problems with LDAC, even with using developper option, don't waste you time any further.
(I've spent so much time to correct the issue in this way)
Developer solution's won't work.
And you'll not have the choice to enable LDAC in Bluetooth normal user setting
Reboot your Xiaomi with hard reset.
Everything will become clear and operational.
LDAC Choice will appear correctly again.
Best regards
Be sure HD audio is enabled as LDAC codec in the bluetooth device info, in the bluetooth connection app.
