Krzysieq 55 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Hi, Does anyone know if APTX codec will be supported on Pro1 for wireless bluetooth headsets? My impression was that it has been built into Android natively a while ago, but I'm not 100% sure and the specs page for Pro1 doesn't list support for this technology, so I'd appreciate this being clarified. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,421 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Yup it is there, just checked. :) followed guide here https://www.headphonezone.in/blogs/the-indian-audiophile/how-to-activate-aptx-hd-on-your-smartphone-in-5-easy-steps Not only aptX, but aptX HD and the newer aptX Adaptive too (There is also aptX TWS+ audio) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hardware is still a factor. Luckily, if you scroll down to or ctrl+f search for "General Audio" here, you'll find that the Pro1s processor (and therefore integrated DAC) supports aptx HD with no problems :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I still haven't seen confirmation that someone else got same behavior, so it might be limited only to my case. Ah, so this is probably why my BT earbuds connect but don't produce sound... They usually run using aptX, haven't tried downgrading the codec but I'll try that next. This is the first bug that is close to a showstopper for me. All the other quirks so far are livable for me as a price of having the keyboard, but my BT audio quality matters a lot to me. There had better be a software fix coming soon...

jjarmasz 81 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I know this is an old thread, but I tried my BT earbuds that usually use aptX for the first time with the Pro1 today and they connected but got no sound. I didn't know about aptX issues until I checked the forum but it seems a few people have also encountered no music playback with aptX but yes with a downgraded codec. So this is definitely a live bug still. Hoping it will be fixed in a SW update soon... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I use an APTX HD receiver. No issues with sound on my end. It aso states APTX HD under Bluetooth/connection settings. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Try forcing it, maybe it will succeed. It could be just a handshake issue. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GwynBleidD 12 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I also have issue with aptX codec on two different pairs of headphones. When aptX is enabled (either via bluetooth settings or forced via developer tools), instead of music I can only hear popping in regular intervals (on one pair of headphones it happens immediately, on 2nd one only after few seconds of silence). This popping sound persists for some time after music has been stopped (it depends on how long I've tried to play sound) and if it persists long enough, one pair of my headphones are not responding and I have to force them off by plugging charging cable to bring them back to life.

jjarmasz 81 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Hmm... Any word on whether this also addresses some of the Bluetooth encoding (specifically aptX) issues? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ktharsia 10 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 In order to hear sound with my headphones (Sony WH-XB900N), I also have to deactivate APTX (neither normal nor hd work). Otherwise they are only connected, but nothing can be heard. Is there a solution to this error now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cube48 51 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Still no support of aptx (HD) after the recent OS update. Let’s hope for next one 🤞😌 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
