Legacy not working with Bluetooth about rootlessjamesdsp HOT 6 CLOSED

Fixing legacy mode won't be possible because this appears to be a firmware issue. Legacy mode uses an Android feature that was deprecated 11 years ago, so it is not unexpected that it is starting to break on some devices.

However, I have rewritten the audio backend and added a new compatibility mode that allows JamesDSP to work correctly with all apps (YouTube, ...) even when legacy mode is disabled. That feature also enables you to exclude specific apps from being processed by JamesDSP.

1. Grab the updated APK here: https://github.com/ThePBone/RootlessJamesDSP/actions/runs/4283379993
2. Disable legacy mode, enable the new 'enhanced processing' option in settings, and grant the app root (or ADB) permission when requested.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to make it compatible with Pixel. The updated apk works perfectly now.

I have heard about this issue from other Google Pixel users that also use the original JDSP application on Android 13.

The new spatializer feature for Bluetooth headsets/earbuds causes Android to reject the JamesDSP effect engine in the global output session 0.

I haven't tested this, but here is a possible fix that just disabled the spatializer:

Install a terminal emulator on your phone and execute these two commands. (requires root)

su
settings put secure spatial_audio_enabled 0  

Then you can just reboot your phone and see if it works now.

su
settings put secure spatial_audio_enabled 0

Unfortunately this didn't make a difference.

I HAVE BEEN AWAKENED!

Interesting. Now, I can only speak for myself as my headphones don't support spatial audio, and I haven't rooted my phone. Regardless, I can still help (hopefully)!
Go to settings > connected devices > [your headphones] > spatial audio and turn that off. Keep in mind I do not have a rooted phone.

If it still doesn't work, try going to Developer Settings and scrolling down to the Bluetooth section and fiddling with those options. Let me know the outcome!

Changing bluetooth settings one by one in developer settings, turning off spatial audio for every bluetooth headphones, running "su settings put secure spatial_audio_enabled 0" none of this worked. I have removed JDSP for now and went for Audio misc settings magisk module instead.
