Hi mate, That never work, the only solution that i've found was, root with magisk and instal JamesDSP along with audio modification library. Both modules can be found in magisk plugins list.
Hope it helps.

I do know by rooting but have seen its working perfectly in old LG Optimus LTE III so curious to know whether there is any tricks to enable it.

Huawei claimed that will be solved on future updates, but never happened. I couldn't find another way. I don't know if it works on EMUI 9

I'm having same issue and thinking the same solution!

Having Emui9 but still no Dolby Atmos with bluetooth earphones
I find this Huawei very disappointing for audio. Huawei chooses to only have a usb-c. To me that sounded like bluetooth is the alternative, but then Dolby Atmos is not supported. :crying:
I've been trying several equalizer apps and different bluetooth earphones, but cannot get proper sound.

I've decide to stay in EMUI 8 because the lack of support of James DSP which is the only one that works. So far, I haven't found a sound mod for pie so I remain in Oreo unitil then.

Finally it's working perfectly in P30 Pro???

Oreo and LDAC support

Hi guys,
I have a question concering LDAC on OOS 5.0 or other custom roms.
I just bought me some 1000xm2 Headphones and thought i can just update my Phone to Oreo and will be able to get some high quality bluetooth music. But it looks like LDAC isnt working. Someone mentioned libaries are missing. U can choose it on the bt audio settings but it wont work.
So is there a workaround for this problem or any custom rom that supports LDAC?
Thx in advance

Hi,
Apparently LDAC codec in OP3T Oreo ROM is working, just it displays wrong information on developer settings
Just now I try my luck to find 1000XM2 but instead of that i found 1ABT, since that one is also LDAC capable so I tried that
Guess what, the Bluetooth codec show in developer settings is show wrong
aptx and aptxHD doesn't included inside the ROM, but LDAC does loaded (see the logcat I captured at attachment, first one is aptx and aptxHD can't load due to lib missing, second one is LDAC is indeed working properly)
But still I do hope that xda would bring this issue up since this is the serious matter that Qualcomm did put OnePlus 3 and 3T on aptx codec enabled device, but then they didn't implement due to "cause prohlem"? This sounds weird for me
Ok, thx for your answer, will try it 2morrow.
Cheers,

Apt-X Support?

So, I tried choosing "Apt-X" from within the developer settings - but it doesn't stick. I know my headphones support it, and I looked up the SD660 - it has support for it as well. So, is there a way to enable Apt-X on the A2?
When you say "stick" u mean u can't select it? I can select either of the AptX options and they stay selected. But I'm not closing settings and shutting off the phone to check if it's still "sticking".
If you can't select them, it may be some other BT setting you've changed that's preventing those from being selected? All of my other BT selections are of the 'Auto' type.

Thats exactly right - I can select them, but back out of settings and then check again and its back to the default (auto). I also tried changing the setting while my headphones were connected - in that case, it doesn't even change temporarily and will stay on AAC.
Same here it always goes back to default setting.. can't even use srgb mode
I think the device build is missing the aptx libraries. Currently aptx is not supported. Maybe they will integrate this in any coming release, but I wouldn't count on that.
Weird enough the device is able to use AAC apple Bluetooth driver.

After further reflection;
Remembered there are other USB settings that don't persist also. Change the USB connection type (say from Midi to Charge Only), back out, return...
It's not persistent either.
I found a way to work around it, for my purposes anyway, just leave the settings app up, don't close it. And sometimes just connecting with USB set it back, so would have to reset it again. But eventually it worked.
Kind of a pain. Because Android One and Lineage are so similar, I'd check in Lineage forums to see if there's a fix for that.
Small update: I installed Magisk and tried applying two separate modules that should add the Apt-X library files to the phone, but no luck. I've resigned to going back to stock and being hopeful that as community support starts ramping up for our device, we'll see a solution.
Oh well! AAC will need to hold us over 'til then.
need aptX support also
Just came across this in a MiA1 thread, it seems (like camera2API) that it has to be enabled (root access needed) for it to work;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/guide-enable-custom-bluetooth-audio-t3744371
I can't check, but I saw on another forum that someone enabled aptx this way (and noticed sound improvement): connect headphones, start palying music and only then enable aptx in developer settings. I think you should try it.

I used to have a MI Max and I was able to enable apt-x hd after installing some libraries with magisk. Which process did you follow? I still can't try it on my phone.

Change Bluetooth Codec

Hello guys !
I just updated my MIUI ROM from Android 8 to Android 9. Since I have this one, my Bose QC35 II connected via Bluetooth uses the SBC Codec, which delivers a bad quality comparing to AAC. I tried to change this via the developer options, but when I set to AAC it always comes back to SBC. When I was on Android 8, I had the AAC.
Do you know how can I change that ? I'm on MIUI 10.1.1.0 Global
Thanks a lot, hope my english is understandable
I didn't find a solution, always on SBC Codec which the sound quality quite bad. If anyone has a solution
Isn't Aac a iPhone/apple thing....?
Anyways you can force a specific output mode in developers settings.
My mi8 on global beta defaults to aptx when using my Bluetooth headset.

No it isn't, it's a classical codec. I tried to force it, but it always goes back to SBC, here is my problem !
What I meant is that aptx is superior in every way.
But I guess the BT device your using is aimed at iphones and doesn't support aptx ?
Maybe try and switch to global beta and check if the issue was fixed.

Same thing on my mi mix 2s. While everything works just fine with an Nvidia shield and Android pie. So it's xiaomi fault. I'm Very disappointed because SBC is really inferior.
Try developer mode!
Already tried on dev mod, doesn't change anything. When you set on AAC, the phone simply doesn't care, hope it will be corrected in an update !
Now I am having the same problem and couldn't find any solution. In Developer options, my arrangements revert to old ones when close, they don't stick. I have Android 8 MIUI 10 Xiaomi Mi6. Via Magisk Manager, I flashed codecs and necessary modules to my phone but nothing's changed. when i connect my JBL Free to my phone, SBC logo right next to the earphone's name is there. Before I lose my mind, someone please help me! I am inexperienced to this complex Android world :crying:
I'd start by posting in the correct MI6 subforum
You can use PowerAmp, it can force better audio codec (by cable and BT).
Have you tried it ? It doesn't work
Just a quick update, since the last update 10.2.3.0, i've got the AAC when using my Bose QC-35 The sound quality is waaaaayyyy better than before. Thx Xiaomi !

I didn't receive BT fix with my new update and I dont believe I will I bought Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless Earbuds and I rarely have stutters thanks to aptX but if codecs were good I would have perfect connection with these earbuds.
I'm afraid you just have to turn on BT in order to change BT CODEC

Mi 8 Low Bluetooth Volume

Hello Everyone!
So after changing from iPhone 8 Plus i bought an Mi 8 , brand new , and using Oneplus Bullets Wireless.
I've noticed that the Bluetooth audio is so low that i can hear others better, than my music.
De paired, re paired the devices, activated Absolute Bluetooth Volume, tried restating the phone, i made my region To India, tried everything what i can find on the web, but still no changes.
Is there any Kernel or Rom which removes this feature? I'm using the latest MIUI i would stick with the original Rom so a kernel fix would be great. If its cant be fixed by kernel can you guys link me a good rom to use?
Thanks.

I had this problem.
I downloaded R.E. equaliser from the Playstore.
Now my Bluetooth volume and speaker volume are great.
I used the presets but turned the gain up,that's all.
This is a great equaliser for people like myself who aren't rooted,a couple of pounds to buy but well worth it.

Sound Woes

Hi all,
Anyone face random times where the sound and microphone do not work until a reboot?
Thought it was Google assistant, but faced it again when setting up the car Bluetooth.
It's frustrating!
Currently on eu 9.7.11 ROM (unrooted).
Cheers,
Dave

It's annoying indeed. I have no solution at the moment. Maybe flash 10.3.15?
i am in 10.3.15, look like the bug fixed, been 3 days without mic and speaker problem.
Currently it's been fine, after a reboot all is stable so I shall see
No, the problem still persist in 10.3.15.

With all that installed you find the issue is resolved?
Yes, the phone must be with magisk installed and these modules should be activated. I've found this useful information in one of the threads in the forum.
