I'm using airpods with Sony XZ1c with Android 9.
On developer options there is a chance to select a bluetooth codec, and AAC among the options.
Is AAC automatically used? That is, can i keep the "default", or should i force the aac option?
Thanks

Hiya,
I've read many pages stating that Oreo in general adds support for a lot of additional bluetooth audio codecs like APT-X, however does this apply for the Honor 9? If anyone has Oreo and APT-X headphones could they check?
Thanks
It should support, in developer settings you can choose from aptX and even aptX HD.
In developer settings the options are there (SBC, AAC, aptx, aptx HD, LDAC) but are not selectable (on my Honor 9). So I think Oreo has the option but Honor 9 has not the required hardware/firmware support.
The other device also needs to support the codec of course, and you can only select the codec if you are connected to a device that supports it. When I connect to my Sennheiser headphones it automatically selects aptX.
As mannte said: You must have headphones that support Aptx (HD) codec as well. I have Marshall Major 2 and AptX work just fine.
Hi i'm using the earstudio ES 100 bluetooth dac which supports LDAC and Aptx HD high end codecs.
As i prefer the sound of aptx hd above ldac i would like to know if there is a way to force it setting aptx hd as the system default?
In some annoying way ldac is always forced as default codec. I can change to aptx hd in developer menu but you need to do this every time when you reboot the device. Phone resets to ldac after every reboot
Ldac is also broken on custom kernels
You can change the default codec from developer settings.

I know thats what i tried but it resets back to ldac after reboot
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?
In developer mode i set the bluetooth codec to aptx-hd but whenever the phone reboot it will be back to sbc.
Using aosp 8.1.
1-) Is there a way to force the codec to stay aptx-hd even after reboot?
2-) Are they software to check is the rom configure the blutooth codec correctly for eg it show the codec is aptx not sbc?
Is there a way of forcing a particular Bluetooth codec as default? I use Airpods Pro for workouts, and I find SBC codec to be much more stable in terms of connectivity than default AAC, but it's quite annoying to switch manually to SBC in Developer Options every time I connect my Airpods Pro to my S9+.
I actually found an easy solution: include _NOAAC in the name of the device (i.e., I'm using AirpodsPro_NOAAC), and it will skip AAC codec and choose the next best one, which is SBC in my case.
Or maybe not... It's inconsistent.
