The missing aptX audio codec from Mate 30 Pro - Huawei Mate 30 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello,
I’ve installed GMS and it’s working perfectly to know that my aptX headphones doesn’t work because it’s a codec from Qualcomm which was banned too. (I’ve enabled Developer’s option as the screenshot attached)
Now it’s running with AAC, SBC codec only which i feel a much differences from aptX.
Anybody has a suggestion how to install the aptX codecs manually?
Thanks,
Seree

LDAC?????

I believe that this would be done thru a custom recovery unfortunately....

I also think Dolby has something to do with the chip that is compatible with that codec. Dolby = American.

UPDATED: I can’t find a method to install aptX into my Mate 30 Pro so I just bought Fiio Q5S to connect with my Mate through HWA/LDAC and very happy with the sound now!

HDMI pass through is automatically used when the connected device can decode Audio HD codecs like ac3, TrueHD, DTS, etc.

Yes. HDMI Passthrough will be used when the codec is not supported by the MX Player & The same is supported by the device connected through HDMI.
We will improve it further in future to have more controls on the user side.

Hi dev. I tried with many 4k with AC3 or DTS streaming.. but i can't get audio work..
I use MX player 1.9.8 pro on my sony 9005 android tv, connected to the ampli by HDMI/ARC cable.
In codec menu, i check any kind of hardware supported codec.. and deselect SW render (only HW+ for video/audio).. but can't hear anything from my speaker..
With other app (for local file streamiing), amplifier automatically detect the audio format and give me on it display the correct format (DTS or DD).
With MX player pro and local/iptv streaming, i can't get it work.
Any idea?
Thank'you!!!

Hi
I must say that in 1.9.8 with HW+ there is no 5.1 sound passthrough to my Apmplituner No DD and no DTS.
In HW there is 5.1 passthrough to my Ampli but only DTS 5.1. Amplituner sees Dolby Digital but plays only in 2.0 - I don't know why but there is a problem with DD.
Best regards

Unfortunately, no. The only way is attempting to force pass through even if the hardware doesn't report the decoding capability. We will highlight this with our development and will get it prioritized for you.

Hi
How the work is going? When should except Update with Passthrough on MX Player?
Hdmi passthrough
Hi everybody,
I tried to play movies using default video player of the Android tv and it supports 5.1 Dolby digital passthrough via HDMI ARC. But passthrough using 3rd party video players like MX player, Kodi doesnt seems to decode the 5.1 audio where as PCM works just fine.
My TV: TCL 55 P8
AUDIO System: SONY HT IV300
Hi all,
I have also problem with audio passthrough over HDMI, I try to run Dolby Atmos on my Nvidia Shield, problem what I faced now is when I have video with Dolby Atmos it need HW+ to work but passthrough work only on HW decoder,
Also I cannot select subtitles from mkv video with HW decoder,
MX Player v1.25.8 (AndroidTV)
Device: Nvidia Shield
Audio: Yamaha RX-A2080
On going issue
This has been an on going issue with MX for years, I reported this over 3 years ago and still no solution. Stock reply is they're looking at it!
A simple forced pass through like VLC would do the job for most users with an amp but it's yet to come.
Even the pro version won't allow forced pass through.
Is this issue solved? What im looking for is play dolby digital movie in my android smart tv and get 5.1 sound from my sony e6100 home theater via HDMI ARC. It seems MX cant handle this.
Necro join. MX sends everything as dd2.0 regardless of any settings.
As mentioned above this has been a issue for years. When you mention it on other forums the common response is "Install the codecs" which doesnt work in this situation. A year or so ago I sent mxplayer support a email and got the arrogant response of "Mxplayer app is the ONLY app that properly detects if hdmi-passthrough should be enabled, otherwise very very bad things can happen." Well guess Im damn lucky my receiver hasnt burst into flames when pretty much any other player in existence uses it. Either the developer doesnt have the skill to correct this, or doesnt care. In my search I did find a similiar app that I hadnt heard of that works very well. Vimu Player.

"AC3 is not supported": Using v1.9.8

I know AC3 is supposed to be built in, but I'm always getting that it's not supported. Is there a specific setting I need to check?

currently, audio pass-through works when there is no internal decoder is available.
In future versions, we will add an option to prefer audio passthrough over internal decoders.

Your page says: "With the latest update our App now supports AC3 audio by default (no custom codec needed). "
But on Mibox I get "AC3 is not supported". What do you suggest? MX Player Custom Codec?
AC3 audio on MX Player PRO on Android TV at Philips POS 9002 doesn't work in 5.1.
It detects dolby digital but plays only in 2.0 (on custom codecs and withouth them - passthrough)
DTS works like a charm but Dolby digital not.
MX Player suport...please do something with this issue.

Aptx HD support

The new Dali IO Bluetooth headphones support Aptx HD but I don't think the Note 10 and other Samsung devices only support Aptx AAC and LDAC. Has anyone found a solution to this?
Dali headphones reviewed here by Gavin
You are right, still no support for aptx hd. N9 doesn't have it either.

SBC, aptx, AAC and LDAC. Then also option for ' other codecs' and 'scalable codecs'.

Hopefully they add it on Android 10. Oneplus added more codecs on Android 10.
Now with Aptx TWS+Audio. Which obviously came as part of software update.

Passtrought audio!

Hi everyone i have a problem with mx firestick 4k i can't adjust the audio pass. Amazon stick is inserted directly into the 2019 ts nr 696 model amplifier which supports all audio formats. Ms player on another android on egreat a 10 works great also goes hdmi cable through the amplifier and there application automatically when the sound is dolby digital or atmos or dts-x or truehd automatically switch to the amplifier sound.
But on firestick 4k I can't get this only dolby digital 2.0
Could this be fixed with an update would be greatly appreciated!
Many greetings from Zoran!:good:

Hi,
We would like to let you know that MX Player only enables audio passthrough mode only when the system reports the audio capability of the connected received. Based on the information you have provided, it seems that the FireTV stick doesn't report the HDMI audio capabilities properly. However, we will investigate this further and do our best to get a workaround if possible. Meanwhile, your patience is appreciated.

[PSA] aptX adaptive isn't backward compatible with aptX HD codec

It might be an obvious information for some, but I wanted to share it to everyone in case it might be useful;
From most information we can find online, including Qualcomm themselves, the aptX adaptive codec seems to be backward compatible with the aptX HD codec.
See here:
Qualcomm® aptX™ Adaptive | Bluetooth Audio Codec Technology
Powered by new audio codec technology, Qualcomm® aptX Adaptive ensures an instant sync for superior wireless listening over Bluetooth. Learn more.
www.aptx.com
https://www.qualcomm.com/media/documents/files/aptx-adaptive-product-brief.pdf
Or on xda:
AptX Adaptive is Qualcomm's new Bluetooth audio codec which compresses audio at a variable bitrate
Qualcomm just announced the smartest audio codec yet, aptX Adaptive, which gives Bluetooth devices an ability to have more consistent audio quality.
www.xda-developers.com
But it's not the case. It's been confirmed by the earbuds/earphones makers, the aptX adaptive codec itself isn't backward compatible with aptX HD codec. The earphone chipset has to support both aptX HD AND aptX adaptive for it to work.
Qualcomm QCC3040 based devices for instance don't support aptX HD, while being officially compatible with the aptX adaptive codec (as seen in the aptx official supported devices list).
Note that the chipset itself isn't officially compatible with the aptX adaptive codec, but from what SoundPeats told me, they are still making it work on it officially work with the help of Qualcomm.
What it means is that with phone not supporting aptX adaptive, for instance the Pixel phones, we can at best get the normal aptX.
