How to change bluetooth audio codec? - Honor 8X Questions & Answers

Hi. I bought Honor 8X and Huawei Freebuds, so these devices support the ACC audio codec.
But when I connect the headphones use only codec SBC and it not possible to change in the developer menu.
Can you please tell me how to fix this?

That's a known issue on all the emui 8.x devices and nothing could be done from our side unless Huawei issues a update with a fix for this issue.

Thanks for the answer, you're right. But in a situation with Honor 8X and Freebuds the problem is the interaction between them (Great job, Huawei).
Freebuds work great with samsung s7 (almost any codec avaible and working), Honor 8X (emui 8.2) work great with Plantronic backbeat sense (aptx, aac, sbc) and codecs change without any problems.
Waiting for fix

Two years later they did not fix it
You can try turning on the bluetooth after turning on the headphones, sometimes Freebuds working with AAC codec in this case.

I'll tell you more. If the wireless headphones support only AAC (Huawei Freebuds for instance) -- Honor 10 will use SBC instead of AAC no matter what you choose in dev-menu. Noone actually cares and noone knows when and if it is fixed. This problem was resolved for Huawei P20 Pro, Huawei P20 and Huawei Mate 10 but not for Honor 10, bluetooth codecs seem to be broken, the issue still persists on the latest (for now) FW 8.1.0.143(COL10).
Hi, do you have any update on this? I'm considering to buy Sony wh-1000x m3, would be a shame if ldac didn't work.. How's the sound on your xm2s with honor 10?
The bug still persists for me on the latest update does anybody know how to contact honor support?
No LDAC support

currently It seems unsolved, i have a xm3 and Honor 10 and it sounds great but aptxHd is the best you can get on this phone atm.

No sound when using LDAC

I have read the the device is support LDAC Bluetooth.
But when I change Bluetooth codec in developer setting to LDAC it got no sound. Testing with my fiio btr3 the indicator light change to white thae mean I using LDAC but got no sound.
The only codec that work is just sbc, aac and aptx.
Anyone know how to enable LDAC or just tell me that it not supported LDAC yet.
PS. When using the other codec it has worst quality than it should tho compare to my Nokia8. Why this happen?

Bluetooth speaker/device should support also LDAC. Not only the Smartphone that have a LDAC capability

i have the same issue. I have Sony wh-1000xm3 headphones. When i switched the LDAC codec. Sound just gone. Is anyone found a solution for this?
I search for it and found the samsung s9 s8 etc. phones have similar kind of problem. They have a solution for this. They just turn off the "dual audio" feature. But i cant find that setting in A3.

Same thing, @kaelthasxx. I'm also trying to setup my wh1000xm3 with the Mi A3 and there's just no way of making ldac work. Not to mention that using aptx gets me an awful quality. If I run a frequency response test I get a lot of crackling at frequencies around 17-20khz with aptx.
The best quality I managed to get out of this setup was using sbc, which is a shame since the headphones support all the way up to ldac.
I think this is some issue with the OS (I'm using the phone's native Android One), since in theory the BT soc of this phone should support these technologies. Hope they fix it for Android 10.
I had install custom rom and it work just fine. Can't wait for official release tho

What ROM are you using? The official one doesn't even support aptx properly (I get a lot of distortion using it with Sony's WH-1000xm3). Not sure if I should flash a custom ROM or pray for a fix in Android 10.
Anyone have a solution for this, just got some Sony Bluetooth cans for xmas and bow have same issue...
Is it confirmed fixed in Android 10 (ie a month or so factory fix all going well) or should I just go custom rom and fix it now (although the whole reason I went a3 was to get a stock Android device)
If I was to go rom route what's the suggested rom? I'm assuming a3 and a3 lite use the same base rom package?
Thanks to all in advance

I can't confirm for LDAC, but AAC doesn't work, it always revert to sbc. For now is better to try a custom as bluetooth codecs never worked for me.
here you go! was also waiting for long months to access any better then SBC...
A3 with A10 stock, April version + Sony XM3, latest app version
--> AptX is on!
checked developer settings and this confirms. AptX is shown on (its not AptX HD by the way). trying to select any better eg LDAC wont stick when return from setting, also no codec effect.
at least something... good luck guys!
No

Any update on this? How does the phone do with the latest firmwares?
(I plan to get Sony headphones)
Mi A3 with Android 11 here. No LDAC option, best is aptX but the WH-1000-XM4 dont support it so... best codec is AAC.

AAC option disappeared for Bluetooth sound devices

I have multiple Bluetooth audio devices(2 wireless earphones, 2 TWS and a home theater) which support AAC, as I have used them in my phone before. But after sometime the option to toggle AAC isn't even showing in the device details section. This has happened for all the devices that I own and it's extremely frustrating to use SBC in devices which support AAC. Did anyone face this issue? If you solved it or have any idea why please help me out, as I couldn't find any proper solution to this.
So far only thing that matches this problem to some extent is this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/help/miui-10-aac-support-t3924820/amp/
PS: I have used these settings both in MIUI as well as custom ROMs. I have tried changing the settings in developer options as well, it reverts back to SBC after I close the settings and doesn't make a change anyway
AFAIK is a MIUI global rom issue, since on the old developer roms AAC support was available. I have being fighting with this for a while...

It's becoming really annoying, I'm facing the same thing in custom ROMs as well.
Miui 9 with Android Oreo has AAC support but it has been removed in android pie.

Poco F1 & Bluetooth codec lhdc (using xiaomi mi air earphones 2)

Hello all,
I am trying to figure out if and how I can use my xiaomi mi air earphones 2 with my Poco while using the new LHDC Bluetooth codec (as when using aac or sbc codecs I suffer from massive latency).
I am using poco oroginal firmware. I havw also tried to update to Miui 10.0.6.0 (changed region to India).
After this change I can see LHDC in dev options but when I try to choose these, it just pops back to aac.
Can someone help? Any suggestions? Will these two devices ever work together properly?
Last note is actually a though - why would Xiaomi sell these earphones if they are not actually supported by their phones?
Thank you guys in advance for answering.
It seems that the LHDC was added with the 11.0.8.0 update. However the high latency with the new xiaomi air earphones is still here.
I assume that this might be related to settings? When I go to dev. Settings I see that it automatically sets to "optimised to audio quality" which of course would be the highest demander and couse latency. Hiwever when I try to change it it keeps reverting back.
Anyone knows how to change this? Any other solution?
Thanks!

Aptx HD?

Our phone was announced to be capable of aptx and aptx HD. I own two different bluetooth receivers with aptx HD enabled. But when I connect the phone to them, it uses only aptx, as the connection info on our device and the LEDs on the receivers reveal. This behaviour did not change from Android 9 to 10.
My wife has a Mi A2, and with this device aptx HD works on both devices under Android 9 and 10. Is there a hidden way to activate aptx HD on our phone? Meanwhile I think our phone is heavily neglected by Xiaomi because such features present in a Mi A2 mysteriously vanished.

It's on developer settings.
Also, if forcing aptx HD is not working or has bugs, remember to report it.
This was the first thing I tried, but predictably switching to aptx HD in developer settings has no effect (I wonder what use these settings have - I never heard that someone succeeded in activating codes this way which his phone didn't choose automatically).
Update: I changed to crdroid 6.6 - and now aptx HD works flawlessly.
Hi sir, today I've got issue with connection to Fii0 BTR3K - no sound from PowerAmp which I was using for weeks without problems before. I did security update from May yesterday (yep late a bit) and got this issue. Fortunatelly to me I have SBH50 from Sony to test everything on low profile SBC connection. Lucky to me, I did another update to August security patch for Android 10 today.
Now I have Aptx LL ([email protected]) working with BTR3K (purple indication on LED). What I learned from today: Do not touch Dev settings! By misstake Dev settings could store your input as wrong data in 'system default' for application (PowerAmp in my case) and lead to missfunction. In my case PowerAmp was reading [email protected] even from non-aptX device. Second: actual condition of connection could be changed during SW initialization. So test your player SW and try to reset it as I did.
For specified [email protected] I am using Hi-Res output of PA. I am pretty sure in numbers as I can hear the difference between SBC and aptX, and hear difference with 16 to 24 bit resolution change (by enabling\disabling tone processing in ounput pipeline). To enable 24 bit in PA you should disable \reset to default dithering method.
I think AptX-HD isn't fully supported by 2 reasons: no real benefits over LL profile + licensing catch.
Hope you will learn something from my evidence
I have haylou gt1 plus earbuds. Apart from bad connection , the buds are aptx-HD compatible, one of their selling points. When i go to developer settings to check, aptx is used. When I change it to HD, it detects the change, nothing happens, and when I go back, and enter dev settings again, it is still on aptx . I think that's time to throw it in the sea... it's already blue

Your earphone doesn't support AptX-HD, that's why when your manually change to it using Developer Options, the codec isn't selected; use AptX or AAC, as advertised by Haylou.

It's weird cause all reviews I read, specifically said aptx-HD, but you are right. It's only aptx. Nevermind. My mistake !
