6. Your Burning Questions Answered!
Q: Will I always notice a difference between SBC and AAC?
A: Not always. The difference in sound quality depends on several factors, including your devices, the quality of the audio file, and your own hearing abilities. Some people are more sensitive to audio nuances than others.
Q: My Android phone supports AAC, but it sounds terrible. Why?
A: As mentioned earlier, AAC implementation can vary on Android devices. Some manufacturers don't optimize AAC properly, leading to poor performance. Try experimenting with different Bluetooth devices or using a different music player app.
Q: Which codec is better for gaming?

You can typically find the option to select a preferred Bluetooth audio codec under the "Bluetooth" section of Developer Options.
