Hi everyone,

I have a quick question regrading Samsung's Scalable Codec. I have a pair of their Galaxy Buds, which are great but sadly don't support aptX, instead they support AAC, SBC and Samsung's Scalable Codec. I realize it's proprietary to Samsung devices, but was curious if it would be possible to port it over to Oxygen OS (perhaps through the use of Magisk)?

Thanks,
David

Even I need Samsung Scalable Codec for my OnePlus 6

Yeah... Even I wanted the SSC Codec ported to OnePlus because I heard that The galaxy buds sound way better with them.... Is there anyway we could replicate the codec or anything to attain the same quality? Even that would work for me.

Off topic mayby... What about implementing upgraded ALSA in kernel. Someone try to do that? I think all dev just take from git repo stuff like that (Lineage probably :D).

Samsung is really voodoo spell witchy about their codecs.
Apparently there was UHQ bt a few years back too.
Galaxy Buds don't appear to support it.
They don't support AptX-HD either.
Sammy wants you to buy their stuff... but without Scalable codec the sound of the Buds is noticable degraded.
BT audio is a mess.

Perhaps I'm mistaken (per what others commented) about the UHQ bt*. Samsung is less than concise about it.

*Samsung is known to release half baked products... this may be one that dead ended out.
