Base on experience ...

I have use a couple of ROMs here (will not mention it ... respect to the makers) ... but 1 ROM had given my Atom's battery life to have 13-15 hours of battery life (normal usage) and 5-8 hours (wifi usage ... internet, webtv, etc.) . By the way im using a 1400mAh bat.

And it is an honor to use ...

I have the Costco KS-9 hearing aids made by Phonak. They worked perfectly on my Pixel 5 for phone calls, phone notification sounds, etc. They paired to my Pixel 6 with no problems but no phone call or other sounds from the phone. Has anyone been able to get their KS-9 or Phonak hearing aids working on their phone? Many people are reporting the same issues, according to this Google Pixel phone post: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/132961082/pixel-6-bluetooth-problems?hl=en

In this Hearing Tracker forum post, some are saying that they get phone sounds from their P6 to KS-10 aids: https://forum.hearingtracker.com/t/easy-line-remote-not-working-with-pixel-6/64147/5

If this is indeed true, I wonder if Costco would let me trade my KS-9s in for KS-10s.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'll be very curious what your or anyone's experience is, for my wife's sake. She doesn't have any hearing aids but could use some and she recently read that a lot of Bluetooth hearing aids have problems with various phones, so I'd take a user's personal experience here over what public reviews say.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] miravision:
Pardon me for not able to address your hearing aids query specifically but I would suggest enabling "Phone Calls" along with "Media Audio" for your phone calls and media to flow through your paired Bluetooth devices or Bluetooth enabled hearing aids.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] miravision:
If the above is already enabled, and the problem persists, I would suggest enabling Developer Options by tapping the Build Number in Settings 7 times

1. Try changing the Bluetooth codec to a different version of AVCRP codec or try the AAC codec

to verify which Bluetooth streaming codec works for your hearing aid or bluetooth device

2. Another setting to try is toggling the Disable Bluetooth A2DP Hardware Offload to OFF
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] JimSmith94:
Thanks for the tips but none of them worked. Developer options was already enabled. I started an Amazon Prime movie to have audio playing and tried all of the codecs, with A2DP hardware offload off and again with it off. I don't have any other Bluetooth earbuds or headphones and I'm mostly concerned with phone calls.

Edit: HD audio is grayed out in my Developer options. Is that normal for Bluetooth hearing aids?

In case it matters, I have a Plantronics Voyager 500 that doesn't have media capabilities but works fine for phone calls on my Pixel 6 and every other phone I've had.

Does anyone have Costco HS-10 hearing aids and can confirm that they work with the Pixel 6 or 6 Pro?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] JimSmith94:
Bump! Is anyone else with Costco KS-9 hearing aids able to get audio and phone calls from their P6 or P6 Pro? Also, does anyone with Costco KS-10 hearing aids have the same problems I have or are they working as they should?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
Try a network reset, clear system cache.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] JimSmith94:
I did the --disable-verity --disable-verification so I could root my phone last week. That forced a factory reset which wiped the phone and as far as I know, did the network reset, clear system cache as well. The hearing aids still do not receive any audio from the phone. Also a correction to what I said earlier about my Plantronics Voyager 500. There is a switch in the PLT Hub app to allow it to do media. I turned it on and it plays media just fine.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
A factory reset is overkill but yeah that reset network settings as well. It's best to find the root cause rather than use factory reset because the original issue is likely to reoccur.

Use factory reset for malware, boot loops, a 3rd party app that altered hidden settings or after major firmware updates.

It may be a 3rd party app interfering with that app or the system. It could also be the default system or app settings are incorrect.

Try some Google searches for those symptoms, investigate information from other phone manufacturers and devices with similar issues as well to give you a better chance at IDing your device's problem. Use multiple search parameters... be creative. This can be time consuming🥴

Search and play with it... eventually you'll find it🧐
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
It might be worth a try for OP to use safemode, since that disabled all third party stuff.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] JimSmith94:
I didn't want to do a factory reset but the disables forced it. I have done many Google searches and the only relevant ones I've found are in my OP. Nobody has come up with a solution, some people have had their phones replaced which didn't fix it, while others have returned their phones and gone back to their old ones.

I and others have opened a case with Google's Accessibility/Disability team. They say they are aware of the problem and are working on it, but I haven't received any update or new information for two weeks.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
If it doesn't disable the device's app (if it has one) the OP is trying to get functioning.

After a factory reset I would load that app first before doing any updates to see if it works on the base factory load.

Even after over 2 years on my N10+ I still run the factory load versions for many of the factory loaded apps because they run better than the updated ones. Updates can fix and they can break... I never enable auto updates, manual only.

That especially includes Playstore.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
I would use a phone that's know to work with your device. That's a core functionality issue for you and not having it will prove aggravating.

Personally I'm not pleased with any of the 2021 device offerings and especially displeased with Android 11/12 as both are a mess. Multiple hardware issues on many devices and many have to do with variable refresh rate displays and 5 G implementation.

My solution was to go with a proven workhorse and OS; I got my second new N10+ running on Android 10 over a month ago. No issues... both run great and fullfill their mission.

The newest technology isn't the best if it doesn't fullfill its mission...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] JimSmith94:
Thanks blackhawk, that's why I'm trying to find out if it's phone hardware or software, or something else. As I said, these hearing aids worked fine on my P5 and if I remember right, they worked on my 2 XL as well. Both were rooted stock.

There are reports in the links I provided that the newer KS-10 aids work with their new Pixel phones. I'm at the point of either seeing if I can still return my P6 or if the new model hearing aids work, see if Costco will let me upgrade to them.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
What's - imho - most terrible about Android 12 is that there are almost no other phones out there (except P4 and P5, and the userbases for those phones are, well, small) running the same OS, meaning many problems that are discussed here might be solely related to Android 12 and are in fact NOT a Pixel 6 software/hardware issue per se, but it's extremely hard to find that out. So in the end many people will dislike the Pixel 6, because Google botched the newest Android version. And our P6 is just "collateral damage".
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Steve53:
I'm having the same issue with my ReSound LiNX Quatro hearing aids on my Pixel 6 - spent over a hour today in an online support chat with Google (only 20 minutes to get escalated to to tier 2 support) but no resolution. Still on open support case, waiting now for a response from higher up the foodchain.

Just my opinion, but I suspect that the cause of this issue is in the implementation of the ASHA (BLE hearing aid) profile in Android 12....
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
It's been estimated it will be 2-3 years until the scoped storage mess is straighten out. It's not just Android, it's developers too as they need to assimilate this new technology into their software.

Starting with Android 10 things got a lot more complicated. Even though my N10+ Android 10 runs almost identically to my N10+ Android 9 variant, it has dozens more small Samsung system apks to do this. Scoped storage appears to be inactive at least on older apps.

This all changed with Android 11. Scoped storage/forced encryption are fully active and cpu cycle sucking mess it brings. 12 didn't address this as Google is committed to this path.

Apple like scoped storage/forced encryption security, no SD card slot... might as well be a bloody iPhone. Idiots.

Update! Google Pixel 6 & 6 Pro Bluetooth connectivity issue with hearing aids to allegedly get fixed with December update.

Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro bluetooth connectivity issue with hearing aids

Many Pixel 6 users who use hearing aids to function normally say that they are having trouble connecting via Bluetooth.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Thanks for updating the thread - will definitely be keeping an eye out if you find a resolution, since my wife hopefully will get some hearing aids soon, and bluetooth ones would be nice.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] JimSmith94:
Has today's December update for the Pixel 6 or 6P fixed the hearing aid issue for anyone? Getting root is currently broken for this update so I have to decide whether to update to the December release with the fix or just stay rooted with the November update until root is working again.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Steve53:
Sideloaded the update first thing this morning (US unlocked .017), streaming to my Resound Linx Quatro hearing aids seems to be working properly now.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Al222:
Just updated my Pixel 6pro and it seems to have fixed my connection problems with the Philips HearLink 9030 hearing aids.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Steve53:
I may have spoken too soon, it works better than it did, but I'm still having the issue of streaming stopping but everything showing still connected - just works for a longer interval before failing. Got to say, I'm a bit disappointed ☹️
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pclewis:
I see the same after Dec upgrade. Shows connection but no audio. Reconnect and it comes back. But does not stay up.

BMW works, iPhone works, Pixel 5 works. Phonak Marvel does not hold for phone calls and Google Play Music has no sound.

Come on Google, fix this
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] lucky_strike33:
Do you need to clear cache and data? Maybe do a factory reset after the update to clear and fix things??
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Steve53:
Well, once again I've contacted the Google Disability Support Team, and I was told that:

1) They are very aware of the issue with streaming to hearing aids, and

2) They are still working on a fix, and

3) There is nothing in the December update just rolled out to address this issue.

I have asked that the issue be escalated....
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pclewis:
Nice work Steve. Let's see if it gets fixed. Something in the audio connection between the bluetooth hearing aids and Pixel 6. Pixel 5 with same Android 12 works. Let's hope is not a hardware issue.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pclewis:
I just made a discovery. I seems to work better when plugged into the charger.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pclewis:
OK, some guy on the Google forums figured out a work around. Go to the hearing aid Bluetooth setting and turn off Media Audio and leave on Phone Calls. You won't be able to hear music or audio through the hearing aids, but the phone calls work as before. Phone calls are most important to me anyway.

This tells me that the problem is solvable with a software fix.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] JimSmith94:
Woohoo, thanks for this! It's working for phone calls for me!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dshulman:
@Steve53 Based on your discussion with Google, is this only an issue with the Pixel 6? I'm worried about upgrading my Samsuing Note20.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Steve53:
@

Sorry - I can't say one way or the other, my conversation(s) with Google were limited to the issue I'm having with my Pixel 6.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] almahix:
I have Costco hearing aids (Resound) and they work well. I did have an issue switching phones and pairing them. I had to go to the old device and tell it to "forget" the hearing aids before I could get them to pair with the new phone. Once I did that, they worked very well, but occasionally I will make or receive a phone call and the sound is on the phone itself not the hearing aids. I wish there was a way to reroute the sound to my hearing aids. My old OnePlus 7Pro had that and I sure miss it on the P6Pro.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] lucky_strike33:
try smart things, not sure if its for samsung only but this is what works for me.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nemuritor01:
There is another problem with the Pixel 6 (6 and 6 pro) devices. External USB DACs and dongles do not work properly. USB Host API or the DAC offloading and hand-over are bugged. Apps like Tidal, Neutron, USB audio Player Pro crash or can't play music in high res. The problem has already been reported by some users. There has been no statement from Google yet.

A work around for me to get music playing and stop apps freezing was switching off the toggle for "allow all apps use mic" in system/privacy settings.

But this does not solve the issue, as the apps still can not access the USB Dongles or external DACs directly and by pass android system limitations and software processing.

Google skips the 3.5 port and users are forced to use dongles, etc., which do not even work properly.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] miravision:
Google is going the Apple way by certifying hardware that is compatible with the P6P and P6. Their response will be to buy a certified DAC or wait for a software patch

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Try their website https://www.extreamsd.com/ or their support email address support@extreamsd.com and let them know. If they're not already actively working on a solution, hopefully they will after you talk to them. Good luck!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nemuritor01:
They are all aware. I've talked to Davy (USB audio Player Pro). They removed the app for pixel 6 and pixel 6 pro from playstore because of the mentioned issues. The problems have nothing to do with their app. E.g. neutron and tidal are also not working properly or freezing. Google needs to fix their USB DAC hand over.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Wow, that sucks. I hope they fix that pronto! Otherwise, I smell a class-action lawsuit (not from me). :)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] EeZeEpEe:
Is it app specific and/or USB DAC specific? Because my FiiO BTR3K works fine.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nemuritor01:
Which app are you using?

Some apps can play music, but most can not bypass Android Software processing.

If you e.g. use tidal in MQA the app connects directly to the DAC and plays in high res.

Same does USB audio Player Pro. Then you see at the bottom "DAC" + bit...

Actually if I get it to play music at all, it's just direct mode, which means nothing.

Some dongles and DACs seem to be working, but just in low/software-processed quality.

So the problem is playing REAL high res, instead of android software compressed/processed audio.

Therefore the USB API seems to be broken. So as soon as the app tries to get direct access to the DAC it freezes or crashes.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] EeZeEpEe:
Ah gotcha. 👍🏼 I don't have anything playing actual high res audio files.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nemuritor01:
Yeah, maybe you can play some processed, low quality music through your high res DAC. So the DAC is pretty useless, you could use a standard dongle with bull**** chip, as it doesn't matter. 😉

I know a little bit what I'm talking about.

I did some audio ports and worked with UltraM8 and the other dudes on the Ainur Audio mods. :)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah I don't even use it wired anyway. 🙂 I just wanted a very good Bluetooth DAC. For me it's the best of both, using my wired headphones yet not tethered to the device it's connected to.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] prohibido_por_la_ley:
No issues playing the Hi-Res/Ultra HD music files on Amazon Music through the official Google dongle. Sounds pretty good, can't really tell the difference between it and the V60 that I've had prior.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nemuritor01:
As far as I know, Amazon app is still limited to phones native sampling rate and does not bypass Android limitations (android mixer). So it does not make use of the external DAC directly. Different story again. But please correct me, if I'm wrong.

But at least it's one DAC that plays some music.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jsensation:
I had a OnePlus 6 with Jack 3.5 and I bought a DAC for the Pixel 6 and I find this problem, I hope they will solve it soon. I can play music but with worse quality
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
I just read through the conversation and it just baffles me. So the "official" Pixel support forum is run by volunteers who basically tell you "if you have a problem, don't bother us, we just give you pre-prepared text-blocks - if they can't help you, we're out" - if you want "real" support, go and use "feedback form" - meaning you write a wall of text to an known person, won't get any sort of answer or input and have to pray that Google will care?

Uff.

I mean, as a Pixel user you can always try the

-> Settings

-> Tips & Support

-> Contact us

form, that way you can at least write to a person/talk to a human, even though they will most likely also just form a "feedback form" after your conversation, since they are powerless Tier I tech people.

I hope that Google can fix those problems here, so you guys can have fun with your device. Google certainly doesn't deserve the "our phone just works" - status, if they forget to add basic compatibility to common third party hardware.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] prohibido_por_la_ley:
False, the Google dongle works just fine and other users have reported a higher end FiiO dongle to be working too.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
I'm not sure if one anecdotal example of one functioning product can falsen my basic compatibility claim (third party), especially since the majority of people in this thread report problems with getting their third-party hardware to work.

It's at least nice to hear that at least one third party hardware seem to function, but that is - of course - not enough.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jsensation:
Google dongle Play MQA on Tidal? Because it's the problem I have with a Hidisz S3 Pro. Play music but not high quality
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nemuritor01:
I would be really interested in details. What is working? Is "real" high res working or just android processed, native sampling rate?

I have also a Creative SXFI Amp which is working. But I would say, it's native up/down sampled music playing.

My Oppo HA-2 SE, which is a 350$ DAC is not working properly.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] prohibido_por_la_ley:
I'd say it's limited to 24/48 because everytime a 24/96 or higher track comes on in Amazon Music it says Device:24/48 Output:24/48. I don't know if it's the Android limitations or if it's the maximum capability of the Google dongle. Even with that, it's plenty hi res at least to me.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nemuritor01:
That should be native sampling rate. And we are talking about an issue and not a matter of "it's enough". It's not working properly, that's the point. If the camera would take photos with 5 mp instead of 50mp, this might be also enough for some users. But for others its a no go.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nemuritor01:

That is one of the most potentially useful, coherent, and relevant first posts I've seen on XDA in a long time. And without hurrying to post more replies to other threads to artificially get their post count up, on top of that. Kudos, even if it doesn't help anyone else!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nemuritor01:
Hi and welcome to the forum.

I've tested your findings, but it does not work with my DACs. I found just one solution to get at least some audio playing, but also it does not solve this issue. With the workaround below you can get music playing (if your app freezes), but it's still android processed.

1. Take care, that the app e.g. tidal has all permissions system --> apps ...

2. Go to system settings - privacy

Switch off the toggle for "allow all apps use camera" and also "allow all apps use mic"

Then disconnect your DAC and close all apps.

Now connect DAC or Dongle and open your app... Should work

Maybe this works for some of you, as well.

Please be aware, that this disables the microphone for all apps! So take care to switch it on, after your music session.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] EndlessBliss:
Appreciate the post, but unfortunately it doesn't fix the larger kernel issue. Android still resamples all audio, and the phone freezes up if you grant an app like Tidal direct access to the DAC. However, this does remove the static/screeching noise in some instances as the OS doesn't have to trip over itself to mix audio streams (like system sounds and a music stream)

The best everyone can do is star and comment on the issuetracker threads (see my post here for links), and submit your own feedback reports and support tickets from settings. Just insist that it's a widespread bug and that you want to submit a bug report
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
I'm using a hidizs sonata with Westone um2 headphones. my library is almost entirely flac 16 bit 44.1. ie cd rips. I can confirm with neutron that when I enable usb direct it all goes south. maybe I'm misunderstanding something though. Nothing analogue is passing out of the USB port to the DAC it's all digital till you get to the DAC at which point it becomes analogue up to your headphones. so does it matter too much if it's not direct accessing the dac (I'm not entirely sure what that even means in this hardware scenario)? sounds pretty glorious to me already.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] crypticc:
if Android has resampled :

MQA and to use the off board DAC to do the last unfold to a bitstream won't work because the MQA metadata won't make it through the resampling.

I don't know for this one but potentially your precious 44.1 KHz CD and 88.2 Khz HD DVD soundtracks could have been resampled into either 48Khz or 96KHz causing quantisation errors.
