Follow these checks in Audio Fix →When this guide applies
Hi-Res codec availability; no developer-option override.
Connection scope: Bluetooth. Symptom: An option or codec is missing.
This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.
If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.
Checks and possible outcomes
Start at check-0. Follow the link that matches what you actually observe. Alternative branches are not a single sequence of actions.

Does the source explicitly support LHDC 4.0 or later?
Earbud LHDC support alone does not establish source support. iOS Hi-Res is not supported for this product.
Look for: Confirm the stated observation; do not infer an unavailable detail.
- If Yes / this check is completed → Is the documented control route available?
- If No / the check cannot be completed → Keep the last observation for support
- If I do not know / cannot check → An observation is still unknown
