[TIP] Hi-Res Audio for Android devices

[dogan.oz]

Hello,

My phone is Galaxy S23 Ultra and Android 13.
Fiio BTR7 is connected to my phone via bluetooth LDAC connection and LDAC playback quality is 990kbps/909kbps.

In the screenshot file I added, I do not have the options marked in the Generic Driver section. How can I get the marked ones there?

The screenshot shows the device with the "problem" ? Which is that the high-res isn't activated for the speakers ? What happens when you press the button to activate ?

So i only have this!

I agree, that's not much. What sampling rates ("frequencies") does it show you to choose from ?

Well, 96 kHz would be high-res , technically speaking ... but see here, probably the S23's internal DAC doesn't support high-res. Feel free to ask neutronmp@gmail.com for clarification.

Well, on what device is Neutron running, S23 or BTR7 ? On S23 and then via BT to BTR7 ? Or via USB ? Could you show us the upper part auf the Audio Hardware screen ?

When connected by USB to a compatible device, the BTR7 can handle up to 32bit/384kHz files natively. But if you are using Bluetooth, it is limited to the Bluetooth formats (AAC/SBC/aptX/aptX LL/aptX adaptive/aptX HD/LDAC) and their various sampling limitations.

Yes, Neutron running on S23 then via BT to BTR7.

Here the Audio Hardware upper part.

Ok, so you use BT, then you don't need to worry about high-res

Then,
When I connected the fiio BTR7 to Samsung S23 with usb type-c to try it, the Audio Hardware top was like this.

Generic Drive is still empty. The Hi-Res options that should be there are still not there even when I connect it via usb type-c.
