Does it have AptX Adaptive? - Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer

My Tab S6 does not support aptX Adaptive bluetooth codex. Does anyone who has the S7 Tab know if aptX Adaptive works? Someone who actually has an aptX adaptive device and tried it.

APTX-HD is the one that you wanted. No Samsung's support it that I'm aware of.
Some Samsung's support LDAC.
For bluetooth you want to use either LDAC or Samsung Scalable Codec if possible.
For a direct connection 24 bit* 96 khz sampling throughput if the device allows it.
If you go with a hardwire connection and the device can output 24/96, APTX-HD is irrelevant.
*or higher

[Q] What is the state of external audio input on Android?

Hello,
I'm trying to get higher quality audio input (sample width and conditioning, don't care about sampling rate above 32k) than is available through the microphone jack and was looking for an overview of where the development of such capabilites stands today. From what I gather:
Android 3.1 (maybe 3.2) added some support for USB Audio, though I can find almost no details on the capabilities. I can't post links, but a post on computeraudiophile with google search terms "usb audio enabled galaxy s3" claims support for a bunch of USB DACs on the Galaxy S3, but there is no mention of using the ADC.
Android 4.1 added support for USB audio docks -- these are generally (as far as I can find) speaker systems with a USB cable -- which only support audio output.
Software such as USB Audio Recorder Pro can record from a number of devices but this is of no use to a developer wishing to get the data into a separate application.
Lots of devices have HDMI ports but I found nothing about anyone managing HDMI input.
I can't find any such device for Bluetooth, but also nothing suggesting that it isn't possible. If so, can anyone speculate on audio quality limitations?
Now, I understand that the vast majority of users who want USB audio want output so it can go to their speakers, but there are some who need the other direction (or both...). Can anyone more familiar with the subject comment on the state of external audio input on Android devices?
Thanks,
Ben

USB OTG audio stuttering?

Has anyone tried using an external USB OTG DAC with the Honor 5X (L24)? Have you guys encountered any issues?
I recently bought a FiiO E17K to use with my 5X running the March 8, 2017 build of LineageOS 14.1, but there is a lot of stuttering. The phone attempts to output 24-bit 96 kHz data by upsampling whatever's playing instead of sticking with the source file properties. However, other Android devices I've tested (Galaxy Tab S2 and some other Galaxy tablet) work fine at 24/96, so the issue seems specific to my phone.
One stop-gap solution is to purchase USB Audio Player PRO on the Google Play Store which uses its own USB audio driver, but it is not a satisfactory solution considering other devices work fine with the stock Android USB audio driver.
Is there a way to set the Android audio system to output only 16-bit 48 kHz audio? If not, has anyone had success with another build or ROM?
U found it in which rom?

Bluetooth codec issue

hi, i have haylou gt1 earphone and when connected to poco f1 it only works in sbs codec, if i try with other devices it always connects with aac, i have tried changing the codec in developer setting but it never sticks, can someone please suggest a solution... btw im on stock miui 10.3.7.0 and would prefer not to flash custom rom just to fix this.
I know there is a magisk module that forces the SBC codec to use high bit-rates.
Other than that, bear in mind that developers settings will apply changes only when a Bluetooth device is connected.

[Guide] Enabling AptX/HD support

Hello guys, I have done small research.
Our s5e device is based off Snapdragon 670 which is part of multiple interesting devices like Pixel phones. Qualcomm CPUs are including support for other codecs (aside of classic SBC) since few years back, however, to get them working out of the box the device manufacturer have to pay license fees. Since s5e is low cost niche device, Samsung didn't bother to do so, however device is completely capable to support it on hardware level. Essentially, we only need few libraries installed, and if you have necessary root permissions, its possible with classic magisk module.
Such magisk module can be found here:

I have validated it on LineageOS 17.1 via Bluetooth logcat and it does report AptX HD when connected to AptX HD supported headphones
Regular AptX also possible? I have a normal AptX BT Speaker, thanks!

Simplest way to confirm on LOS 17.1 is to flash module, open Bluetooth settings of device that you paired to. It should say what codec it will use.

Question on LDAC and APTX ADAPTIVE support

Does Redmi Note 9 Pro (Indian) 'Curtana' support LDAC codec and APTX ADAPTIVE for Bluetooth audio streaming?
Please let me know, I'll be buying TWS earbuds based on this. Thanks!
Interesting question... I am searching for a pair of TWS earbuds (aptX-Adaptive or LDAC) and I found some info about the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro:
- the Snapdragon 720G is compatible with the aptx-Adaptive codec, as mentioned on the Qualcomm official website here with the Bluetooth version 5.1 and Qualcomm Aqstic™ audio codec up to Qualcomm® WCD9385
- aptX-Adaptive should include aptX-Low Latency and it should have retro-compatibility with aptX and aptX-HD devices as stated here on the Qualcomm website
- LDAC too is supported from what i know from Android Oreo 8.0
Searching online I found this thread on reddit about the 9 Pro (Joyeuse) where the logcat of this user running the official EU MIUI of two years ago (MIUI 11?) shows the inizializiation of some codecs, including the aptX-Adaptive.
Since the chipset is the same for both 9 Pro Joyeuse and Curtana (Qualcomm SM7125 Snapdragon 720G 8nm) we can assume the atX-Adaptive codec is supported by both phones.
Now, about the revision of the aptX-Adaptive codec available on the 9 Pro - regarding the sound quality provided by this codec - I did not found something useful for this phone, but only a thread on reddit about the dependancy of the audio quality from the revision of the aptX-Adaptive codec here .
Having a compatible device (earbuds or headphones) it is possible to select the available codec from the phone itself: Settings > Developer Options > Bluetooth Audio Codec and the codecs that aren't supported by the Bluetooth device should be grayed out (reference).
About LDAC it should be compatible without any problem I think - if the connected device support this codec - maybe it is only necessary to be selected in the phone Settings.
I am running Lineage OS 19.1 and the V13.0.5.0.SJZEUXM Firmware (Joyeuse - EU), I have no earbuds with LDAC or aptX-Adaptive to test at the moment, but I think the Redmi Note 9 Pro both Jouyeuse and Curtana should be compatible without any problem with LDAC and aptX-Adaptive. If any user with compatible hardware can do a test anyway, it would be appreciated.
