Question Dual Audio Output Simultaneously on multiple Bluetooth Devices - Google Pixel 7 Pro

Does the Pixel 7 pro support output audio on multiple bluetooth devices? Like two sets of headphones so I can watch a movie or something with my wife on an airplane? Any reason why this is an issue with Pixel phones still?

What is the sound quality when using Bluetooth headset?

I found some noises when I use Bluetooth headset with aptx feature, when I use Bluetooth headset without aptx the sound quality is better, anyone face this problem?
The sound quality in my cars built in is great. Dont know if this helps...
Dose your car have aptx?

I originally wrote this which is wrong
I am fairly sure the AZf3U doesn't have AptX... I've not found single Snapdragon 650 or 652 with it
even though Qualcomm own AptX/Aptx-HD now.

Since then I did some research, and found I was wrong. So I came here to correct my post, and noticed that @tamerh had thankfully pointed out the error before other people were misled.
So I found that there are products with the Snapdragon 652 which do have AptX, and not only that, the Asus Zenpad 3 8", has an SD650 and AptX.
https://www.asus.com/Tablets/ASUS-ZenPad-3-8-0-Z581KL/specifications/
It occurs to me that there may be apps on that tablet, as well as patches and updates, which can be applied onto the Zf3U, and vice versa, as there's likely to be a fair in common between the devices.
Asus zenfone 3 ultra has aptx, the aptx notification appears when I connect a Bluetooth headset with aptx, and asus zenfone 3 ultra comes with snapdragon 652

Dolby/EQ and bluetooth

Does anyone knows if the eq and/or Dolby is systemwide? In Mate 10 Pro you can only use the eq when using cable, witch is pretty stupid when not having a 3.5 on it.

Dolby Atmos is System wide. You get a USB C to 3.5 adaptor in the box.
Dolby ATMOS is not yet supported over Bluetooth.
I have the Huawei P20.

Thanks, I was afraid for that. Not being able to modify the sound over Bluetooth is a bit sad. I don't even have any non Bluetooth headphones left anymore [emoji41]

What about the equalizer over Bluetooth?
Skickat från min Pixel 2 XL via Tapatalk
Sorry but equaliser isn't availability over Bluetooth from the built in music app, Huawei are apparently working on this feature.
There are additional Bluetooth features in system settings for 16,24,32 bit audio and different Bluetooth profiles.
Only had the P20 for 2 days so still experimenting myself.
I am using £20 in ear BT headphones and they sound great, when I get the free Bose ones in my P20 offer I'll report back

Thank you. I'll imagine the sound is about the same as Mate 10 pro and I was hoping that Huawei had fixed modulation over bt. Hopefully it will come in the future. Sounds like a great phone though.

Not supported on huawei p20 pro on Huawei freebuds as well.
any news?
Any news about the feature? at my p20 pro dolby atmos is still not available for BT headphones
I have just sent a complaint to Huawei about this. I have P8 Lite, P9 and now P20 Pro. P8Lite and P9 play music over Bluetooth without any issues, but P20Pro is just so quiet/low with volume, that it is first time in my life when I have reached the limit on the volume scale in my cars audio system.
This, in my opinion, is not acceptable. I am not expecting any special audio drivers, not even HTC Beats mode from the HTC One X and One S which was brilliant with Beats Headphones, but I am at least expecting to be able to listen to music in my car on a medium/average level. Currently, it is so bad that I have stopped using my phone in the car and had to get USB flash drives from the glovebox and will have to move all the music from the phone onto USB sticks.
Would be very intruiged to know what Huawei has answered ?
Did you get any answer?
Kind regards!
Yep. That they thank you for the feedback and asked me if the issue also exists
if I will connect the phone by aux cable.
Plus the following:
"In regards to your query, what I suggest you do in this situation is to perform a network reset on your device:
1. Open Settings.
2. Touch Advanced settings > Backup & reset.
3. Touch Network settings reset and follow the onscreen instructions to restore the settings.
Furthermore, kindly be informed that I have reported this incompatibility situation and maybe it will be solved with future updates.
Thank you very much for your understanding and patience. "
Nothing specific.
After 2 weeks I have to say, that issue looks resolved, but I don't know how. I have not changed anything in my phone.
It did have several soft-resets but nothing serious.

Low volume using wired earphone

I bought a Pixel USB C to 3.5mm adapter to use my Bose earphones and noticed that the volume is really low even at max setting. I've been using this earphone on my Note 8 & iPhone X (using the Apple 3.5mm adapter} without any issues. I tried 2 other wired earphones with the same low volume issue. Any solution on this.

I guess it's likely a conflict with the audio chip in cable, maybe Essential could add compatibility in a future update???
is this all apps? And phone?
Random have you trieds...
Clear cache/data in the system app MusicFX (probably also some other audio related app you could do same with.
If music only does your player have an alt decoder and/or a reset decoder button like in Blackplayer or an alt equaliser?
or maybe even disable usb audio routing (in developer options)
I was just about to buy one also, so thanks for posting, hope you find a solution.

I think I've seen others share the same issue with the Pixel adapter too. It's just not a good adapter, from what I've read. The market is a total mess too. Not many options to begin with, only adapters with a built-in DAC will work, and there's little info to determine what to expect from what you buy. I guess an ideal adapter might be one that also includes an amp.

Bluetooth- Dual Audio or no?

So, not completely sure how Samsung, or Apple**** implements the functionality of outputting audio streams to 2 separate bluetooth devices, or outputting different audio streams (of different apps) to different devices, but could the oneplus 7 pro be made to do any of this? It would be useful, but it's not exactly something I'm dying for lol.
****iOS 13 announced ability to stream audio to 2 seperate AIRPODS, which probably means it won't work on anything other than airpods, or even on slihgtly older ihpones..
Samsung dual audio feature is said to have 2 seperate bluetooth chips, or some mechanism with having a broad spectrum of bluetooth bandwidth to act as 2.. Never could get any reliable sources unfortunately to confirm either.

Note 9 - USB C Headphone Support

Hi,
Let's start a USB C earphone support thread. So far I've tried the following, without full support:
- Razer Hammerhead, Music Yes, Microphone in Recorder Yes, Calls No
- OnePlus Bullets, Music Yes, Recorder Yes, Calls No
I'm starting to think all USB C headphones are going to be like this on the Note 9... Surprised they haven't updated the source to support these kinds of headphones ahead of the Note 10 and it's lack of 3.5mm port.
Same problem
Same problem here. No solution so far. Going to take these things back.

I'm thinking they don't see a reason to have usb c headphone fully supported on the Note 9 because it actually has a 3.5mm port? We all know Samsung is the last to adopt certain things. It would be nice if they did support it though because the range of possibilities would be more for listening to music. Headphone Jack busted...not a problem, use usb c port etc.
Xiaomi ANC HiRes audio type C earphones, not working at all
I've tried Google's for pixel 3 earphones. Music and control (including mic on recorder) yes, phone calls no. But I must say: the sound through these earphones surpasses anything I've tried on my note 9. Even without phone call function the quality of music coming out of these earphones is worth it!
HTC U-Sonic USB-C earbuds are a no-go all the way around on both the Note 9 & Note FE.
The Developer Options on the Note FE even has an audio source option in the USB Configuration section & still nothing.
IIRC, the HTC USB-C buds were one of the earliest models available & may have been proprietary to HTC phones.
I have got them to work on a few non-HTC phones along the way, but, Samsung isn't one of 'em (OnePlus/BlackShark/RazerPhone come to mind,IIRC).
Sent from my Note Fan Edition using XDA Labs
I wouldn't be surprised if the Note 9, 8 and FE don't support the use of USB Type-C headsets for calling.
I use a Lenovo USB-C hub that I plug my Astro Mixamp into and listen to music.
I can't get phone calls to work tho.
i tried plugging note 10 C headphone to my note 9 so it is just able to hear music but can not answer the call. However, the C headphone did on my S10e.
OnePlus Type-C Bullets work!
Hey everybody! I just came on to search whether or not my type C bullets from my OnePlus 6t would work on the Note 9 I just got. Before plugging them in, I went into developer options and unchecked "Disable USB audio routing". Plugged them in and the sound incredible! The in-line volume, play and pise functions on the Bullets work as well. However, attempted to make a phone call and it just stayed defaulted to the phones earpiece with the Bluetooth or speaker phone option. Anyway, just thought I'd share my experience a few moments ago lol. Yes it would be great if we could get these to work with a simple phone call. Hate to just put these Bullets in a drawer to collect dust until the day they are supported by a phone I own lol.

Yes, they do work for listenning, with volume and pause/resume buttons. They don't work for call though.
Something changed in Android 10? On apk mirror is samsung usbc headset app/driver but its not working :/
Couldn't find developer options
Hi, I tried what you recommended. I couldn't find developer options except under accessibility. It didn't have remove audio routing. I have a note 9

Correct. I also tried on a Corsair G935 and audio works but phone calls do it. Tried it on my Note 10 and if works just fine for calls.
Thinking this might be a hardware and not a software issue.

Okay so i know this thread was started a while back, I just wanna say for any new Googler's that the Note 9 cannot support calls because it has the 3.5mm ear jack which handles all the analogue sounds means phone calls, "Hey Google" and similar cannot be passed through the Type C headsets/headphones. Its hardware so no apps can help with that.
