LDAC Not Working

Foxtonian — Sat, 27 Jan 2024 23:11:15 GMT

S22U LDAC in dev options has been working great for ages. Same options with same earphones in S24U won't work. LDAC options greyed out...

Anyone know a fix?

Are you using Sony earbuds?

Hi - No, Technics AZ60s. They work perfectly on my S22U and have done for ages.

Hmm, that has stumped me. LDAC is a code developed by Sony. I use Sennheiser and the only options I get are Qualcomm aptx, and the standard bluetooth connections. LDAC is shaded out. When I connected my Sony earbuds, LDAC would be selected. I was not aware LDAC can be accessed by other brands.

I'm no expert by any means. I've attached two pics - the first are the options on S24U & the second with S22U. In both cases I was listening to Spotify with the Technics.

LDAC is developed by Sony, but anybody who pays the license is able to use it on their own devices.

I do not know if Technics AZ60s supports it, but it was working before, it should. It could be just some bug that will get fixed on the first big firmware upgrade.

There already rumours of first software update for the S24 series.

That was expected, but I do not know how reliable the post on X is. I think that there is a good chance of this happening soon, based on previous experience.

So a nice person on Reddit helped me guys. I didn't have to do this on S22 hence my confusion - simply hit Details within Bluetooth settings, then hit the gear icon next to the device - then hit LDAC.

Have you AZ60s? It definitely works. On Spotify change your quality to Very High. Also - simply hit Details within Bluetooth settings, then hit the gear icon next to the device - then hit LDAC.

I did this on my S24U and TechnicsAZ60m2 and it works! On Tidal it is better than on the default AAC codec. Thanks.

I hope.

I have Sony WF-1000XM4 and WH-1000XM4 and S24 Ultra doesn't support both.

@Przemek

Welcome to the community forum

What do you mean? You can not connect both, can you?

Re: Re: LDAC Not Working

Przemek18 — Thu, 15 Feb 2024 22:29:05 GMT

Connect, yes.
But the sound is tragically shallow. Expensive headphones and the sound is like those $30 headphones.
On my old Galaxy S7 it's great and there's a huge difference. Much better sound quality.
Without LDAC's support, nothing can be done.

Did you check that the LDAC setting is toggle on? The setting has to be enable per device.

The LDAC setting is not on by default, it will use SBC. If you open the Bluetooth setting by pulling down the notification panel, press and hold the Bluetooth icon, select Details. On the list of Bluetooth devices touch the gear setting next to the device and check that the LDAC setting is toggle on.

I have Sony speaker and headphones and they show the option. I think that you might have missed some settings

If you activated the Developer options, there are more audio setting there.

Please note that the headphones have to be connected for the LDAC and audio settings to be active. Otherwise, you may see the settings grey out.

Get the drop down menu. Press and hold Bluetooth icon

Dropdown menu

You should get a list of of BT devices., tap Details

That will give you a list of BT devices with a gear settings next to them,

Tap the gear symbol for your Sony headphone and check that LDAC is toggle on,

This had to be done on the S22 Series as well. You do it once, but you have to do it. I have the S22 Ultra and I had to do it for the Sony headphones and speakers.

I have the S22 Ultra and Sony WHXB900N Headphones and I only have 16bites, 44.1khz and Qualcomm aptx no HD. That's it. Everything else is greyed out. I have followed every instruction given to me and nothing changes. I do not like this new phone.
