Dolby and Roku private listening mode? - OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use audio enhancements like the built in Dolby for an incoming audio signal with the OnePlus 8T?
Dolby and other EQ app works with any audio source I use including Spotify, YouTube etc all the way down to the built in notifications like it should for any type of device.
However, audio enhancements do not work with Roku's private listening. This mode works differently in that as long as you are on the same wifi network you can privately listen to the audio coming from the streaming stick which is outputted to your phone and allows you to listen with the built in speaker or bluetooth on your phone.
This previously worked on this device with OOS11 and currently works fine with my Samsung tablet, so it's possible. Just not sure what changed with OOS12 and what I can do get it working again, if at all

Try updating to the latest OOS13 (F.63) or wait for the OOS 13.1 new update to go live.

HTC U11 Bluetooth Audio Quality Issue on Android 8.0

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?

[GUIDE][OREO][8.0]Enable custom Bluetooth audio codecs in Mi A1 Stock ROM

What is AptX?
Click here to find out
I noticed that the custom bluetooth codecs( like the aptX, aptX HD, LDAC, etc.) are not working even if we have devices that support it( like earphones, headphones, soundbars, etc.) For example, I own a Samsung Level U wireless headset, which is compatible of aptX codec, but whenever I connect it with my Mi A1, the codec in Developer options switches itself to SBC.
So, I found a workaround for it on OnePlus 3/3T Device Forum. @theduke7 has created a Magisk module which enables aptX/ aptX HD on One Plus 3. I flashed that module, and Voila! The codecs started working on my phone.
How will this help you?
AptX increases the quality of audio transmitting over bluetooth considerably. So you will be able to hear nearly lossless, CD quality audio from your device.
Just flash the below given Magisk module in Magisk 14.0+ and reboot.
For those who can't find the option,
Go to Settings >> System >> Developer Options >> Bluetooth Audio Codec
Link to the thread
Just thank @theduke7
Before posting, please check whether your wireless bluetooth device supports any of the above mentioned codecs.
Screenshots:
Doesn't works for me...
Codec stills revert to SBC every time I connect my BT headset.
It's a Driftin DBE-301BGY. But I don't know if it's apt-X or apt-X HD compatibe.
No matter wich codec I choose, always revert to SBC....

Your wireless earphones are not aptX/aptX HD compatible, mate. I googled them just now.
Also, the module is sometimes unstable. It reverts back to SBC even when we choose aptX or aptX HD. A simple reboot should solve that problem. After rebooting, before connecting the wireless, go to developer options and manually select the supported codec, and then connect.

Dude, I'm not a developer. I just found out that this module works for our device, and so I posted it here, giving necessary credits.
And I don't get any noise in my earphones. Can you try a fastboot rom flash without wiping data?
Does it work on custom ROM?
On Oreo 8.0 all works fine, aptx and aptx HD.
At Oreo 8.1 (July Update) - only aptx is working. U can select aptx HD in the Developer/Audio settings, but dos not have any effect.
Any suggestions?
it only works if the xiaomi was rooted. Without root the APT doesn't work even more if you installed the drivers and modified the build.prop
What do U mean? Pls explain.
Magisk 16 Up and running....
Think ist's a 8.1 Bug, HD get -1 priority

I did it manually and I added into the build.prop located in system:
persist.bt.enableAptXHD=true
persist.service.btui.use_aptx=1
persistent.bt.a2dp_offload_cap=sbc-aptx-aptXHD

This way you have to flash stock system.img before ota will work again. Just to keep in mind.

Unable to play music from bluetooth headphones

Hey Guys,
I am trying to play anything from my headphones but there is no audio coming out of it. I am able to pair it and connect it to my device. As soon as I switch my audo device from the menu I am able to hear music cominig through my speakers with delayed output of the music that I was playing. I tried two headphones with the same result.
The device is rooted with Magisk having OOS 11.0.8.14.KB05DA. I am not sure which logs to provide
Please help.
Has bluetooth ever worked?
I assume it has so walk your modifications back to the last point in time in which bluetooth was working.
Yeah it used to work. Actually it works for a second after reboot. Then it stops
You have a mod of some sort that is screwing things up.
No, I have ony 2 things in my modules
1) Substratum
2) Systemless Hosts
So I just disabled substratium theme and magisk modules then everything works. Then I enabled them back again and the issue is somehow resolved. I am not sure what happened but now headphones are working fine.
Guys, I am facing the issue again. Can it be because of safetynet??

Playing PUBG with headphones plugged in, voice chats goes through phone speakers.

I just got a Redmi Note 10 Pro. All is good except when playing PUBG with headphones plugged in.
All the regular gameplay sound goes through the headphones except for when my teammates talk through the voice chat. The voice chat audio gets routed through the phone's speakers instead of going through the headphones like all the other audio.
However, when using Bluetooth headphones, this problem doesn't occur.
I've tried restarting the device, restarting the game, changing game settings, but nothing.
I assume this is a software issue right? Otherwise I'll look to change the device.
Thanks.

Usually Software issue
This app (lesser Audio Switch) will solve it no root required but you have to manually change the settings everytime you want to use Speaker, headphone, int mic or headphone mice/ bluetooth
Google Play link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nordskog.LesserAudioSwitch&hl=en&gl=US
note to reset to default phone settings you must reboot your phone

Actually I have an idea, download the apk from somwhere on the internet
Download Apk editor

common edit : then change the Sdk? target version to 39
it should work from there
else some of these methods may be viable to your phone

Android 12, Android Auto, & V4A

Currently on Android 11 with Android Auto v 7.0.614134 and V4A v 2.7.1.6. When connected via bluetooth music is processed via V4A and sounds fantastic. When connected with Android Auto via USB, music does not get processed via V4A even though there is a USB setting in V4A. Music also does not get processed via the Speaker tab, which it defaults to when plugged in with Android Auto. I have researched this extensively and found it's a limitation for whatever reason. Also odd that I can't find any recent topics on it. The newest discussions are from 2019 to mid 2020.
I have tried disabling USB audio routing in Developer Settings to no avail. My solution is to use the EQ settings on Rocket Player to compensate, and it helps...but it's not the same as V4A.
However, I read somewhere that Android 12 "fixed" this issue. Or perhaps I misunderstood what I read. Any any case, can anyone on Android 12 using V4A and Android Auto confirm if audio is processed with V4A while connected to AA? FWIW, I have a PIxel 4a 5G and have been putting off the upgrade to 12 (hate setting up phones) but if A12 will "fix" this issue I will bite the bullet.
Thanks!
