Hey guys, just joined the XM4 club! Everything is set up and ready to go. Firmware updates automatically in about 10 minutes. Everything is dandy, except...
I can't get my LG V30+ to stay in LDAC mode. In developer options, I notice AAC is set as default:
So I set it to LDAC, and I can hear a skip and then the sound seems much clearer. But as soon as I exit settings and go to the Sony app...
It shows that it's playing AAC. I've made sure I've set it to SQ priority:
But going back to Developer Options, I see the codec has switched back to AAC on its own.
Playback via Tidal. I have UAPP installed too but have switched it off for now.
What's going on here? Any suggestions?
UPDATE:
Ok I got it to switch to LDAC. I decided to check my actual Bluetooth settings, and lo and behold there's an option for setting playback quality there too!
It still didn't switch to LDAC immediately in the Sony app, so I went to developer options to change it manually, and only then did the Sony app show LDAC.
Now let's hope it stays on LDAC! Because the difference in SQ is immediately obvious, and it's not subtle. This is the #1 reason I got the XM4, and two tracks in I can already say that I'm not disappointed. More impressions to follow...
(Hope the above helps anyone stuck with the same issue)
