I just joined the N8 family and I really love the sound. But the SW stability seems to be a problem. Two issues I have seen:
- LDAC connection does not work. I gets connected but both the Qobuz and YouTube applications are getting stuck when I start playing, on my Note9. I had the exact settings with my Note9 with WM1Z never had any issues playing LDAC. SBC works fine but that definitely is not what I am after.
- Once when I was trying different codecs etc, and I disconnected my phone and pressed the back arrow on N8, it says " the playing of the song will be stopped", I press OK and nothing happens. When I repeat it, again the same thing. Somehow although there is no connection, the SW is stuck at the "playing" state.
Anyone experienced these? Especially the first one? I am on FW 2.2.
I just tried my wife's LGv30 and LDAC works perfectly fine. Hmmm... As I am using the same settings as WM1Z I expected that it should also work fine also. Very strange.
We have a Personal Audio Fair in Hong Kong right now, my N8 was on loan to a headphone manufacturer for the show and I won't have it back until Tuesday. After I collect my N8, I'll try to find a Samsung mobile phone and connect to N8 in LDAC, let's see if there is any trick in the setting to make it work.
For the moment, have you disabled the HyByLink function? HiByLink connection will occupy the Bluetooth connection and stop you from using the LDAC feature. Did you try all three LDAC setting in the N8 bluetooth menu? Maybe you can take a photo of the Bluetooth setup page of your N8 and PM to me, that should help me to understand the situation further.
