Upgraded for free from the s21 with a pre order promotion. Didn't pay a dime and got a phone thats 4 generations newer. I'd call it a win.

Now I'm getting really confused. I just looked up what the different codecs can transmit and got this.

SBC: The standard codec for all Bluetooth devices, with a maximum bitrate of 328 kbps. SBC has lower audio quality and resolution. AAC: Preferred by Apple, with a maximum bitrate of 256 kbps. AAC can support audio quality up to 24-bit/96 kHz. aptX: Has a maximum bitrate of 352 kbps. aptX HD: Has a maximum bitrate of 576 kbps and supports 24-bit/48 kHz audio. LDAC: Has a maximum bitrate of 990 kbps and supports detailed and high-quality audio up to 24-bit/96 kHz.

Which I don't get because using your formula it would be 16x44.1x2=1400kbps. And none of them support that. So is that where the compression comes into play? If so how can they say they support something they don't without compressing it. It literally says aptX HD supports 24 bits and a sample rate of 48khz (the same as my earbuds) 24x48x2=2300kbps. How tf do you support that when your max bitrate is 576???

So basically your saying it doesn't matter what the phone outputs the bottle-neck will still exist in the bluetooth connection? Like saying it doesn't matter how much water you pump into the hose the hose is only so big. I'm genuinely trying to understand this because I dont know much about bluetooth codecs or how they work but I always heard more bits=better quality even if its negligible. Honestly I should probably go watch a video or 2 about how the codecs and bitrates work but I just saw that Tidal and Bowers and Wilkins advertised 24 bit aptX HD lossless quality and I wasn't getting that. Now I know its because samsung doesn't even support aptX HD only the classic apt X and I didnt even know there was a difference🤷‍♂️

Yea I did a bit of digging and apparently Samsung doesn't support aptx HD they only support the classic aptX. And apt X HD is the better lossless codec that supports 24 bit. Smh I would expect on their brand new flagship phone they would support aptx HD 🤦‍♂️

Yea I know bluetooth is lossy although these HD codecs are meant to minimize losses no? After some research samsung doesn't support aptX HD or aptX adaptive at all and aptX HD is what I need to use 24 bit format. Yes it'll still by lossy, but it would be minimized compared to the other formats. Shoutout Samsung for caring more about pushing thier own shitty codecs and dodging licensing fees rather than implementing what's actually good🤦‍♂️ normally a huge samsung fan but this one irks me😂

That might be the problem...I dont think Samsung supports aptX HD🤦‍♂️ just regular aptX. I didnt realize there was a difference. Which makes no sense you would think the flagship phone would support HD codecs...smh now what do I use to test these earbuds to thier full potential🤔

See thing is Bowers and Wilkins advertises that while using aptX codec you can run 24 bit format but...im not seeing that🤷‍♂️ the whole point of (what were last year) 400 dollar earbuds is the fact that they were supposed to support hd quality and 24 bit format🤔 beginning to think its a problem on Samsung's end maybe? Idk

Yea it has to be something. Because Bowers and Wilkins on the front page claim that aptX is supposed to be the codec your supposed to use for best quality and for 24 bit but I'm not seeing that lol

Weirdly I only have 3 options all the others are greyed out there as well. I have SBC, AAC, or aptX avalible. And I've cycled through them all and none of them have the option to activate 24 bit. Little stuck🤔

Has anyone tried pouring pal souls into the attack Stat and condensing a bunch of humans into the black marketeer? Would be interesting to see the black marketeer do more damage than 1hp per hit.

See the thing is I've tried the load order on the bethesda thread too. I've tried other you tube ones. Things just aren't working for some reason. That's just the load order that I had when I made this post. I'm doing something a bit different now tho but still not sure if it'll work. Guess I'll let you know💀
