I cant find any info on successfully accessing the audio hidden menu.
I have a problem that when I use a 3rd party music player and google navigation at the same time (i play the sound through the car stereo) then the volume of the navigation directions is reduced to almost zero when a headset/lead to car stereo is plugged into the headphone socket.
I've had a really goof look around and the fix mentioned in post 8 here looks to be the most educated and likely fix that I cant try as I cant find out how to access the hidden menu which leads to the audio tuning menu mentioned.
Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated

Bump.
I'm having this problem too. The only way I know that I'm coming up to a turn is that the music goes quiet for a few seconds.
This problem seems well documented across most phone platforms but fixes are few and far between, with most either waiting for an android or navigation update to fix the problem.
From my testing it shows that the problem only occurs when the 3.5mm head phone jack is being used so it seems sensible to try and access the volume control to control how the phone outputs audio to the jack for different apps.
Trouble is I cant - does anyone know how to access these hidden menus or perhaps just edit a config file or suchlike with the phone?
Thanks

This problem also occurs over bluetooth audio. I've tested it on the BT Audio in my car and my Jaybird bluetooth headphones.

hi guys, just wanted to share, i had been quite bothered with bugs like these... and have been searching the web for a long time... i found a solution apparently (cant remember the site name... but some official google guys replied or something) said that u need to check ur phone tts (text to speech) settings to make sure google tts is selected
apparently, if u are using things like v-lingo or samsung powerewd by v-lingo, it becomes soft... i tested this out... was very very surprised.. apparently it got way louder.
before this i tried a volume booster which did nothing but waste space on my phone. oddly ppl swear by those apps, all i could do was swear at it...
anyway.. enough rambling... hope this fixes ur issues
Hello, I bought exactly this speaker http://xiaomi-mi.com/bluetooth-headsets/xiaomi-mi-bluetooth-headset-black/ ..and it's really great, I must admit..BUT..the problem is, that it is saying numbers of calling users in chinase and playing some weird ringtone which I don't have as my default (100% something from xiaomi pre-set). Only thing I need is, that it will play exactly that sound like normally from sgs7 speaker, not that from xiaomi. Is this possible to change or anything? Because now it's playing different sound from speaker of mobile and different from xiaomi bluetooth headset and I want to synchronize these sounds into one and that default from mobile, if you know what I mean and understood me (I know that I explained it difficulty, but don't know how to say it in other way ). Thank you.
For better understanding, here are my examples:
Sound from the mobile: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0nHZwmVb329
Sound from the Xioami headset: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0EBPjNUpTTi
And I want to play sound from the mobile to the Xiaomi headset too.
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?
one of the thing i hate about android -_- , so many features and customizations but bugs like this is very annoying..
i'm asking because my bandwith is limited and to upgrade needs a lot of data
basically its android 7.1.2 bug... im pretty sure this is not only a single phone bug because i have try on 3 phones Moto g5s plus, xiaomi mi a1, and Redmi note 4 with custom rom 7.1.2 and ALL have this bluetooth issue...
The issue is like this, theres 3 options for bluetooth audio : Phone Audio, Media Audio, And Contact Sharing...
heres the bug.. if i check BOTH phone audio and media audio, then i can still hear calls thru the bluetooth device, but i cannot hear my music playing on it (or any other media)...
As soon as i uncheck the Phone Audio Options, the music plays again, but if i uncheck it i cannot hear calls from the bluetooth device...
IT can be fixed by rebooting phone, but once a call goes in, then the problem came again...
Just wanted to confirm is this fixed on android oreo ?
Heres a video of the bug

So I've been beating myself up trying to accomplish this, using every everything from JaDx to APK editor Pro and getting nowhere. Okay here's what I'm trying to accomplish I had an LG Phoenix 5 and it... well it no longer functions. it was just a cheap $40 phone BUT it had a fully loaded Bluetooth Developer menu section that had every option available and never had grayed out dot, even the HD audio option. It didn't matter what I paired it to (high or low end devices) it always worked. I could always make Bluetooth speakers sound better than anybody. So now I have a Motorola G Pure it's still a cheap device but still cost more than the Phoenix. It has almost no Bluetooth option that are sound quality related available just grayed out dots even on devices I know the option work on. so I set out to mesh together the Bluetooth controller apps from both devices and well its not going to well.
it could be a hardware limitation... but I've been seeing a lot of companies claiming hardware limits when they really just don't want you using something a certain way (I.e.Windows 11) or the fact that the control app (uncompressed) is 3x smaller than the Phoenix 5's was.
any insight or advice help would be awesome.
try this app :
Wavelet: headphone specific EQ - Apps on Google Play
Headphone specific equalization with lots of customizability
play.google.com
made by the dev of viper4android, runs with adb, might be a solution
