I have bought recently a new Bluetooth headset from Sony MDR-EX750bt and noted very strange behavior from Android 9 – it sets only SBC codec when the headset supports LDAC and ATPX. At the same time with the old Sony SBH80 it works with ATPX. I would report this issue, but it is not clear for me if this is an Android issue, Samsung or Sony. It looks the issue is in A2DP protocol.

I just bought some nice Sony H.ear on bluetooth headphones and was wondering about the audio codecs. I turned on developer options and it's set to "Use system selection". I see the Sony headphones work with LDAC and was wondering if the phone notices that somehow and will switch over to the LDAC or if I have to manually switch to that. Any advice? I thought I could ask Sony but they will probably say that's your phone's problem.
On my 6.1 plus running android Pie, connecting my bluetooth headphones that supports AAC doesn't seem to work.
In the bluetooth device options, the HD Audio: AAC is shown and enabled after the initial pairing, but disappears after reconnecting.
In addition, the codec in use as shown in developer options shows SBC and refuses to change to AAC.
And poweramp also says it's using SBC.
I know my bluetooth headphones do support AAC because on another device, that was the codec in use.
Is anyone else having this issue?

On my Moto X4 also have this same problem after upgrading to Android 9
I tried with my Nokia 6.1, it connects and keep the connection as AAC with a Sony XB40 and a Pioneer NEX5200, at every connection. However the Sony supports LDAC, and even if the ldac libraries are on the phone, it only uses AAC
Bluetooth on pie is 100% f**ked. Google broke it after the first beta release. It affects all devices, including their flagship pixel line.
Flash an 8.1 rom or get an iPhone. That's your options unfortunately.
Before the phone (S9, Pie) used different Bluetooth audio codecs with different devices (AAC for car speakers, AptX for the headphones). But something happened 2 days ago, and now my S9 suggests only basic SBC codec for all Bluetooth devices. Manual change does not help (it always reverts to SBC). As I know there were no any Android updates in the last days. Can any suggest what happened with S9's Bluetooth, any ideas how to fix it?
Hi everyone!
When connect my phone to car radio pioneer mvh-s300bt via Bluetooth phone set automatically sbc codec. I have latest radio firmware, so AAC worked correctly on android 8.1. After update to 9.0 work only with SBC. When i try change it in developer options, setting are constantly return to SBC codec. I feel different between this codec and it is little annoying for my ears.
Please, help how can i fix it.
Of course, xiaomi developers doesn't read any notification from users, so i must do it on one's own.
Thanks for help.
No solution so far, afaik.
Facing the same problem, Mercedes 2019 and Volvo 2019 both default to SBC.
YouTube is out of sync when streaming via A2DP, video is lagging, audio working fine.
Stock MIUI 8.1 was even worse, playback was slow and distorted.
Hello,
I was trying to switch the Bluetooth Audio Codec to Qualcomm aptX to be used with my SoundPeats TruEngine 3 SE wireless earbuds. I am able to select aptX when the Bluetooth is switched on,
but as soon as I connect my earbuds it switches by to AAC
I am certain that my earbuds support aptX codec ( Product Spec is available here
Had anyone this same issue? Is there any way I can resolve this? I just want to make sure it is an with the issue with the phone so I can be certain that I don't have to return the earbuds.
