In the developer options there are settings for Bluetooth audio codec, sample rate, bits per sample, and ldac codec: playback quality but whenever I try to change these settings they either don't change or they always revert as soon as I leave the developer options page. Can anyone help with this? I know my headphones support all of these settings they are the Sony WH-1000XM2.
Thanks
Nvm I found the issue you have to have the headphones connected and disable dual audio in the Bluetooth settings and then the developer settings stay if the headphones can utilize the codec

How can I make certain settings in developer options "stick" in Android O (BT Codec)?
And especially the Bluetooth codec. By default it is aptx but to my ears, or with my headphones it sound kinda crap. Switching to aac sounds way, way better. But here's the problem: disconnect the bluetooth headphone, or reboot the phone, and it goes back to aptx.
Is there a way to force it default like this, via editing some configuration files, xposed mods, magisk, etc?

Hello, I have a rooted lg v30 running boombox rom v.0.10.
The main reason I decided to buy the lg v30 was it superior audio quality. I also have LDAC supporting bluetooth headphones from sony so I was waiting quite eagerly for the LDAC support coming with oreo. I just learned today that there are additional bluetooth settings within the developer settings section.
But to my bewilderment I cannot change the settings to a higher quality. I mean I can choose the LDAC codec and the higher sampling rate but at the moment I connect the phone with the headphones it switches back to lowest standard settings... I installed the sony connect app to look if there was something to change there but it also did not show LDAC as an option after connecting to the phone. I am quite annoyed. Any Ideas what the problem could be? Is there a notification when a LDAC bluetooth connection is successfully established?
Thank you.

Ignore the app, it's completely unnecessary. Every time you connect your headphones, the settings are restored to default. Go to the bluetooth settings of your headphones before pairing them and change the 'Connection type' from Most stable to Best sound quality. This sets the highest quality codec your headphones supports as default. Go to Developer Options and change the sample rate to 44.1k or 48k and the LDAC Codec: Playback Quality to "Optimized for Audio Quality". Should have all settings stay supporting the max spec of both devices and software like Viper4Android. When you connect your headphones after doing this, a notification will appear at the bottom saying LDAC quality is enabled.

Thank you for your help - unfortunately that did not work for me. Like I said before I can choose the settings within the developer section before I connect with the headphones but the moment the bluetooth connection is established the settings switch to AAC ( which is not bad but it is not LDAC) and 44.1khz/16bits.
There is no notification regarding LDAC...
I updated the smartphone firmware yesterday to rule out some software related problems.
By now I am not sure if the problem rather originates from the headphones (wh-h900n) than the smartphone. Given that I just have one device that supports LDAC and one pair of LDAC headphones I don't know how I can determine which one is maybe not correctly working. [emoji52]

Answer:
1. Uninstalls that Sony Music Center (song pal) app
2. Remove your Sony LDAC headphones from your BT settings.
3. Pair your headphones again with your phone.
4. Go into BT settings. Click on the cog wheel next to your headphone device.
5. Choose Audio Quality over Stable connection.
6. You are all set.
Note. There is a toast message that appears once you're connected and established LDAC connection.
So I have ViperFX and XHiFi running together, and working. I wanted to use Xhifi for the audio reconstruction feature for the speakers, and FX for my bose qc35.
As I was poking around checking and changing settings, I checked my blutooth codec under developer options and it was set to sbc, and wouldn't let me change it. My old phone only supported sbc, so I never tried any other codec, but it was my understanding that these headphones supported the aac codec. When I go under blutooth devices, theres an option for HD AAC Audio and its enabled, but when I check under developer options it still says sbc. does anyone else have issues changing their codec?
I have tried several ways to change the Bluetooth codec to aptx hd on my mate 10 pro. I have a pair of aptx compatible Sennheiser headphones.
But in the developer Bluetooth options the changes does not seem to stick.
When the headphones are paired i can not change anything. It jumps to aptx automatically.
If i disconnect i can change all the Bluetooth audio settings. But the change back as soon as i leave the developer settings or connect my headsett.
Help please!
No fix available. Emui8 has had this issue forever. Just be glad that your device goes to aptx.
Hey, i want to increase my bluetooth bitrate and quality, but each time i change the settings in developer settings it reverts to stock. please help me
The device always uses the best settings according to the Bluetooth headphone's compatibility. You can't really force any settings on most of them except maybe LDAC quality. The only real setting you have is in the Bluetooth headphone's entry in Settings > Bluetooth where you can toggle AAC, aptX, etc. Even the available bit pool for SBC can't be configured by the user on Android.
