Aptx codec dont work on Oreo keeps reverting to SBC.

[madjose]

Is Aptx codec enable on Oreo?
Every time I change it it keeps reverting to SBC but my headphones are aptx HD compatible....any ideas?

That's because the Note 8 supports just Aptx and not Aptx HD

Thanks for your reply but not relevant because it should work fine hd or not....
And it's the same whith the Sony codec, none sticks and notice that when you change the codec in the developers zone and then you just start Bluetooth without any device paired it reverts to SBC automatically. Someone is able to change it?

In fact, at least for me, as soon as it connects to a paired device it auto selects the compatible codec.
For my MacBook pro it's AAC, for the Sennheiser Momentum is aptX, for the Bose SoundSport wireless is again AAC.

So when you connect Bluetooth it changes automatically to the right codec?
You don't do nothing?

What BT device are you connecting to? For my Sony WH 1000x I have to select LDAC manually as it uses Aptx by default.

Look here you will see a solution in this short thread

Did you try Developer Options.
I checked also I don't see BT codec option in the BT settings. Only available from Developer Options.

Edit: for LDAC I do get this option in BT settings so don't need to use Developer Options. Also Note 8 does not support Aptx HD.

Hi, after april update its working good....
Diference in quality sound is huge...thanks to who try to help me !

 

[Lsoniu]

Do you have anything else connected to your phone via Bluetooth, at the same time? Like a Samsung Gear watch, Plantronics Headset, ...
If the second device is not aptx compatible the phone will stay in sbc on both/all devices.
I had the same problem but it got solved as soon as the Sennheiser Momentum was the only device connected to the phone by Bluetooth.
After disconnecting all other devices, stop then restart bluetooth. It should connect automatically to your headphones on aptx.
Hope this helps.

You can't enable it on a device that doesn't support aptx. if the device supports aptx it will be enabled automatically in developer settings. When you disconnect it will go back to SBC

You have to turn off the "Dual Audio" option in settings... Will work after that
