[LG G8 Questions & Answers] jamesm113:
Yeah, I think they changed it with android 9, so you have to do a full bug report, which is kind of a pain.

My process is this:

Turn off bluetooth

enable bluetooth snoop log

turn on bluetooth and connect device

play audio sample

turn off bluetooth

disable bluetooth snoop log

send full debug report to my own email

review large log file

Anyway, I found something interesting.

A few nights ago, I pulled the bugreport log (couldn't find the snoog log), when audio quality sounded decent, and found it was 328 kbps:

Today, it sounds like garbage and is 229 kbps:

Then, while the audio was playing, I fiddled around with some of the debugging settings related to bluetooth. I heard the audio switch cutout very briefly each time I changed a setting and now it sounds a little better. Something worth trying [MENTION=3442250]tonisama[/MENTION]
