[Q] HTC one, disable an audio channel?

Hi,
I recently accidently damaged my htc one bottom speaker and its really quite annoying to listen to. I was wondering if there is anyway to disable one audio channel or using an equaliser change audio balance globally. All of the research I have done and all of the equalisers I have tried has yielded no results I am rooted, unlocked and s-off if it helps in anyway. Thanks

I think Viper4Android would be exactly what you're looking for.

all you need : MONO output sound
HTC one sounds basically with stereo outputs and speakers
so you need to convert/change the output from Stereo to Mono, you can look for any App to do this
or you can try Poweramp.apk , go to Tone/Vol and adjust the BALANCE to your correct side
hope this help you

Wouldn't mono still use both speakers? And I have heard of poweramp but wouldn't that only affect that app itself, not for example my OS, ringtone etc. I would just like to completely disable the bottom speaker if there is a way.
Thanks

when you change the Balancer to the (not-damaged) speaker, it will disable the damaged one
if you think you need to disable it without use Balancer app, forget it , you can do it if you can de-assembly your phone

Well there is an option to use one profile universally. So you could set up the Bluetooth profile to have one sided audio and then enable the option to use that profile as the only profile. And when you plugin your headphones you can turn it off.

You have to have headphones plugged in before you can enable it. Not sure exactly about the results you get from it as i don't use it.

plug in headphones and turn it on. when you are on bluetooth it will likely still be to the "on" position but greyed out. Not sure if it actually does its thing via bluetooth though. Try it out with it turned on and off and see if it makes any difference in sound when connected to bluetooth.

As far as I know you can't actually transfer ultra high quality audio over bluetooth. I haven't seen any bluetooth headphone or speaker that supports over CD quality. (In terms of sample rate, bit depth etc.) but I might be wrong.

Aptx codec dont work on Oreo keeps reverting to SBC.

Is Aptx codec enable on Oreo?
Every time I change it it keeps reverting to SBC but my headphones are aptx HD compatible....any ideas?

That's because the Note 8 supports just Aptx and not Aptx HD

Thanks for your reply but not relevant because it should work fine hd or not....
And it's the same whith the Sony codec, none sticks and notice that when you change the codec in the developers zone and then you just start Bluetooth without any device paired it reverts to SBC automatically. Someone is able to change it?

In fact, at least for me, as soon as it connects to a paired device it auto selects the compatible codec.
For my MacBook pro it's AAC, for the Sennheiser Momentum is aptX, for the Bose SoundSport wireless is again AAC.

What BT device are you connecting to? For my Sony WH 1000x I have to select LDAC manually as it uses Aptx by default.

Did you try Developer Options.
I checked also I don't see BT codec option in the BT settings. Only available from Developer Options.
Edit: for LDAC I do get this option in BT settings so don't need to use Developer Options. Also Note 8 does not support Aptx HD.

Yes i am using developers option and my headphones are aptx not aptx hd like is supose note 8 to have but dont activate....always revert to SBC
I tryed an app call "media codec info" and aptx is not apering in the list so i dont know if is realy activ or not....

Hi, after april update its working good....
Diference in quality sound is huge...thanks to who try to help me !

Do you have anything else connected to your phone via Bluetooth, at the same time? Like a Samsung Gear watch, Plantronics Headset, ...
If the second device is not aptx compatible the phone will stay in sbc on both/all devices.
I had the same problem but it got solved as soon as the Sennheiser Momentum was the only device connected to the phone by Bluetooth.
After disconnecting all other devices, stop then restart bluetooth. It should connect automatically to your headphones on aptx.
Hope this helps.

You can't enable it on a device that doesn't support aptx. if the device supports aptx it will be enabled automatically in developer settings. When you disconnect it will go back to SBC

You have to turn off the "Dual Audio" option in settings... Will work after that

Unstable Bluetooth bitrate

I have a serious problem with Bluetooth audio.
I have really good headphones, but they are quite old and there's no support for ldac or aptx (just sbc). However I'm coming from Huawei P20 Pro and I never had any problem with audio quality on that phone.
And what exactly I mean? When I'm listening the music I can hear occasional drops of audio bitrate. It's extremely annoying. And no, I'm not using different Bluetooth devices (but I was able to do this with Huawei which had older Bluetooth version [!]), everything about multiple output is disabled, that option in developer's menu is set to 1.6. I'm out of ideas and pretty disappointed that premium device like Note 9 have problems with basic functions like this.
Ps. It's not a problem with my device. Same thing is happening on my friend's Note 9.

connect headphone via Bluetooth then go to
developer mode enable it/Bluetooth audio codec/(select the code you needed)

At what volume do you listen via bluetooth?
I have the same issue with my car receiver and noticed that if i play it at max volume i experience that and if i play it at a slighty lower volume, one or two steps from max, the issue is gone (or so i hope) for now it seems it is resolved by lowering the volume from max, or it is fixed in CSC1

How do you make it stay on the selected option? Regardless which option i select the moment i go back or out of developer options it goes back to SBC

u sure ure not streaming through some streaming app and not reading actuall media from internal storage?
I'd try local media and see how that behaves.

I do not know about the OP but in my case regardles if it is a streaming service (deezer) local files (mp3) and sometimes with call audio, it does that.

not sure if its me that dosen't realise it but i dont think I've experienced any of this. i use only local media. i play it through power amp and set the audio output manually to high res output.

No. I'm not using any streaming services. Just FLAC or 320kbps AAC files ripped directly from CD.

I'm not listening on max volume, but sometimes it's close (older or more niche music recorded and mastered properly).
Btw just tried listening on my dad's S8+ and it's the same, so Samsung generally has something broken with sbc codec which is rather disappointing.
Btw, I'm using European Exynos model.

That's probably why Samsung still includes the headphone jack with their phones. I don't use bluetooth that often, except in the car and I don't recall experiencing any issues with it. Maybe I don't pay attention to it, but I will this time and see.

{REQUEST} help me make a simple Module for permanently setting LDAC bitrate

Heyho! I've been researching everywhere but have not found a viable solution to permanently set the LDAC bitrate on an android Device. I have extremely basic coding skills, so I'd love someone to help me out and make this together.
PROBLEM
When using Headphones that support the LDAC audio codec (developed and support by Sony and Sony Headphones), many Android Devices wrongly default to a lesser bitrate (like 660kbit/s) or force you to use "adaptive bitrate (up to as little as 300kbit/s which is less than even inferior SBC)". Changing the bitrate to the maximum 990-909kbit/s setting in developer options often doesn't work and won't stick when the Headphones are reconnected or the phone is rebooted.
SOLUTION
A Magisk Module similar to "Bluetooth Audio Bitrate Changer" that permenantly sets the bitrate for the LDAC codec (not yet supported by the affirmentioned module).
Let me know if anyone would be interested. Cheers!

Same problem ..
have you found a solution?

Ward,still hoping someone would make it

Im going to ask for it again ;-;
PROBLEM
When using Bluetooth dongle that support the LDAC audio codec (FIIO BTR5), my Devices (s8/poco x3 pro) wrongly default to a lesser bitrate (like 660kbit/s) or force you to use "adaptive bitrate (up to as little as 300kbit/s which is less than even inferior SBC)". Changing the bitrate to the maximum 990-909kbit/s setting in developer options often doesn't work and won't stick when the dongle are reconnected or the phone is rebooted.
Any solution? This doesnt happen in my sony xz since it had option to override ldac sound bitrate from the sony rom itself

seems people will just pretend this problem never exist ..... F

Solution: Install sony music center

I use samsung. It was same problem that in developer options it is defaulting to optimized connection.
But when I have installed sony music center app and in app options selected audio quality prefered on device after restarting phone now in developer options it is 990kb streaming is a default when connected to sony xm2.

I hate this as well. I do not fully understand why is this LDAC settings hidden in developer settings in the first place. You buy 400 bucks LDAC capable Sony headphones and you have to connect the BT, go to developer settings to change correct bitrate and frequency every single time as a complete moron.
If anyone capable can bring this (maybe simple) module to magisk I would make a statue for him

Hi, have the same problem.
On top of bitrate, I would like it to stick with constant 44.1kHz/16bit since that is about what LDAC can handle bandwidth-wise. But on my s10 it defaults to upscaling to 96kHz/32 bit, which then loses a lot of bits due to limited bandwidth.

I think you should not be able.

I've been searching everywhere for this functionality, but to no avail. However I've just found a workaround with the Sony Music Centre, so big thanks to whoever mentioned that. To be clear I'm not using Sony headphones. My setup is a Samsung phone and a pair of Fiio EH3's. I did it like this:
1. Installed the Music Center app
2. Powered up my BT headphones
3. Clicked on the 3 dots menu > Music Center Settings > Bluetooth Output Settings > LDAC Playback Quality > Priority on Sound Quality. This setting forces Optimised for Audio Quality in Developer Options.
5. Close the Music Center app. Note do not kill / force stop.
The magic bit is that I can then switch off my BT headphones, and when I switch them back on the 990-909 kbps setting persists. I can even reboot the phone and the setting sticks. The down side is that it also forces 96kHz/32bit. So I'm not suggesting its perfect.
The only action I've found that resets everything is a kill / force stop of the Music Center app. I then have to go back through the process of re-enabling the setting in the app.
Hope this works for others in their setups, at least until someone with the skills makes a proper fix.

Ahh tyvm bro

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it does not work with WH-1000XM4 and my samsung galaxy S9/redmi note 10; nothing I do seems to make the "optimize for audio quality" stick in developer options after I disconnect/reconnect. It always reverts back to "best effort" when I restart the headphone. Did anybody manage to make it stick with a S9 after disconnect/reconnect?
Alternatively, could you give me smartphone names where the "optimize for audio quality" sticks after a disconnection/reconnection ? Thank you vey much

Bumping this as my phone resetting it's LDAC quality setting when it reconnects to my car bluetooth every time I get in or out of the car is driving me batty. What's the point of LDAC if it defaults to a quality that is worse than SBC fer cryin' out loud?

I was also looking for an app or solution with same requirement , to set the LDAC properties to the highest setting when connecting to my LDAC Bluetooth receiver.
Bluetooth Codec Changer App does this.
Hope this helps.....
