Hello
Just received a new Xiaomi Note 11E Pro[Global ver.], purchased in the USA to be exact, and after going through the set-up process I've noticed I'm simply missing the option to use "Hi-Fi Audio" in my sound effects section.
My HD Audio toggle is also greyed out under developer options.
I've tried connecting two different Bluetooth headphones and two different headphones through the 3.5mm jack, but the option won't appear.
Is this a feature that's hidden or locked by default in some way? Would appreciate if anyone has any non-rooting solutions first, but if I have to go that way, I did want to fix having gesture navigation work with Nova Launcher anyhow.
Current firmware is MIUI Global 13.0.5/Android 12.
Probably because your Bluetooth device isn't compatible with AAC and above codecs.
Which earphones do you have?
Jack/wired devices use the DAC, so they'll always follow the max quality of your hardware without any intervention.

Been using the Pixel 3 as my daily driver for a while now, but just recently came an interesting piece. Apparently, the Pixel 3 doesn't support LDAC at Optimum Audio Quality (more details here - https://themrphone.com/article/google-pixel-3-xl-doesnt-support-ldac-at-optimum-audio-quality/)
I was planning on buying a high-end set of Bluetooth headphones, in fact, was considering the same ones used in the link above. Can anyone else confirm this?

Working fine for me with both LDAC (detected and used automatically) and "Optimised For Audio Quality" (switched from default "Best Effort" in Developer Settings)
Pixel 3 (non XL) with Sony MDR-1000X (gen 1 of the headphones in your linked article) and Google Play Music.
Granted GPM isn't a Hi-Res source, but it's playing fine! There was a momentary drop in audio for a split second on changing bit rate but it resumes with no issue!
I had this same issue with my Audeze Mobius--the Pixel 2 allowed me to set the rate to 990, but the Pixel 3 would do as described in the link. Seems like a software bug, I doubt it actually isn't capable of using the full rate
I can't say, I'm much of an audiophile or anything but I do like to play with settings for what sounds best with what I have. On my Galaxy s8 running oreo and my previous s5 running aospx/oreo I could change the developer Bluetooth settings on the fly and notice the difference instantly (avrcp/bt_codec/sample_rate/bit_rate/ldac_codec).
If I do it on the pixel 3, the Bluetooth just falls out, connection wise it stops but still shows it's connected, app wise I can't close and reload the app. I have to turn the Bluetooth off or reset it completely sometimes.
It's kind of a bummer, being a brand new phone and all, I noticed the absolute volume disable didn't seem like a difference either.
I hope they resolve it.
Update: disabling bluetooth a2dp hardware offload let me freely change all those settings while in use with out locking anything up. What that necessarily does or the effect of changing the settings and how well they actually change??? I can't answer with any rational or testworthy explanation as my audio products are oem Bluetooth radios in vehicles.
I was thinking of buying this phone, until I realized it "presumably" doesn't support the LDAC audio codec [Info from bluetoothcheck.com]. I want to know from an actual user, is this true? Because, I saw on YouTube, that for someone else it actually did work.
Any answers will be appreciated!
Why would you buy this phone to use with wireless earphones?

Well, mostly I would use the headphone jack, but, occasionally, at the gym or while running, it's more convenient to use bluetooth earbuds (And, I don't mean some kind of a mid tier ones, I would be using 1MORE ANC Pro EHD9001BA)

Alright, thanks for clarifying!
Cool I've been using the DTS:X thing for my bluetooth speaker...pretty good
I can confirm LDAC works with my Sony 1000XM3 headphones on both the V50 and G8.

I have also tried the the DTS:X feature on my LG V35, but for me, particularly, on wide instrumental or detailed (heavy metal, etc.) genre songs, it interferes too much with the sound equalization. Therefore, I like to keep it flat and original, but I understand the appeal/it's a personal preference.:good:

The Side to Side option works best for me. I listen to all kinds of stuff, also make some of own ?
Information for people who have LDAC headphones and cannot turn on this mode, and in Developer Options they have "Bluetooth Audio LDAC Codec: Playback Quality" greyed out
Applies to Android 11
You have to go to Settings-> Connected devices-> Bluetooth-> select the device - enter its settings (gear on the right) -> Connection type and change from Most stable on Best sound quality.
From now on, if the device supports - you can choose LDAC or AptX HD, which are inactive by default, because the phone pairs devices by default in "Most stable" mode.
I fought my Sony WH-1000XM3 an hour before I found it out ...

Hello, I have the same problem on another device. For some reason, the "connection type" option accessed by clicking the gear isn't available on all devices.
I managed to make it show up on the WH-1000XM3, but I don't know how, and know that I'm using another similar device (Fiio UTWS5 for the curious), I'm stumped as to HOW access this option.
I did however, successfully forced aptX (not HD though) codec through developer options, but that's it.
May you help a noob?
Thanks!
Strange Question.
OFC yes!
MIUI Global 17.0.7 Stable (official)
I'm using JBL Charge 4 speaker (it's not JBL's problem). I don't have this problem when I connect Samsung J7 Pro (which is older, model from 2017) and other Samsung, Huawei, Apple devices... I had this problem on my older Poco F1 too.
When I play music on it, it's lagging. Every 20-30s there are lags, like "cut" for ~1 second and it's so annoying. I watched some videos about it, I saw that a lot people have same problem with different Xiaomi devices. In Developer options -> Bluetooth audio codec...whatever I pick, when I close settings, it's back to "Use system preference (Default)" even if there is a lot of other options, for example: SBC, AAC, Qualcomm® aptX™ audio, Qualcomm® aptX™ audio HD, LDAC...
Only option that I can change about Bluetooth there is Bluetooth AVRCP Version.
If someone has solution, I would be very grateful. If it's not possible to fix this on offical software, is there any Custom ROM with tested options about this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Poco x3 india when you connect bluetooth earphone and then play any song in any app and go to settings audio settings and enable or disable mi sound enhancer.. select any sound profile or no matter how up or down the eq bars there is no change in audio output.
Anyone else also facing ?

That is completely normal. Mi sound enhancer is an EQ for the 3.5 jack audio channel only. If you want full audio customisation, install V4A.

When i was using redmi k20 pro with custom china eu rom this thing was working even with bluetooth audio.. in indian k20 pro we cant even enable the same with bluetooth audio but in new devices like poco x3 this feature is now given but its not working as properly as was working in eu rom so this needs to be fixed.

The Poco X3/NFC doesn't have a china version ROM, it's a Global device only. Many features are missing from this version of MIUI 12, that includes some features of Mi sound enhancer and Sound assistant.
In fact, Version V12.0.4.0.QJGMIXM and below had this feature when connected to my aptX Bluetooth earbuds greyed-out inaccessible, Further versions I don't know about as I haven't tried. Maybe try asking in the Xiaomi.eu for Poco X3 thread.

I am not much familiar with this app i just want to tell that earlier miui wasn't allowing even switching on the mi sound enhancer for bluetooth audio and at that same time china eu rom were allowing to switch it on and also was working properly.. me and people like me are suggesting this feature since ages to xiaomi and now if xiaomi is allowing to switch it on with bluetooth audio then their intention seems to be giving this feature but because of bug i guess this is not making any impact on audio even after tweaking eq.. just this needs to be fixed.. i have already shared this to xiaomi via feedback.
Does P11 and P11 PRO support a variety of Bluetooth codecs?
I tested it. It is only connected to SBC & LDAC. The devices I tested were three Sony XF-1000XM3 & WH-100XM4 & Bose qc Earbuds.
All SBC and LDAC are connected only.(I don't think they support AAC and APT-X)
LDAC is Sony's proprietary codec so if you connect those that's what will get chosen by default. In fact others have tried on a Pixel 4 to get other codecs selected by Sony headphones to no avail.

I use my WH-1000 XM4 and Pixel 3A in dual device mode and it now selects AAC by default with my phone, when I first got the headphones I'm sure I read in documents that dual device mode was limited to SBC (ie disables LDAC) but maybe a FW update improved things.
