AudioShare: P9P and 2 sets PBP2

I got it working and just wanted to post in case someone else was having a hard time.

The wife and I are always watching or listening to podcasts together and really wanted to get this working for an upcoming flight.

I had seen this post and figured I'd give it a shot and it wouldn't work.

On a whim today, I purged the Bluetooth and WiFi settings and now I'm Good.

Here's what got it working for me

  1. Enabled developer tools (tap the os build number from the About Phone menu in the settings a number of times, it'll tell you how many to do)
  2. Enabled 2 settings for Bluetooth LE in developer tools (1st screenshot here)
  • after this I expected it to work. I individually repaired my 2 sets of headphones and it wouldn't work.
  1. Purged bluetooth and WiFi settings (2nd screenshot here)
  2. Re-paired both sets of buds.
  3. Verify you now see "LE Audio" in the Pixel Buds app. In the app > choose settings gear for one of the PBP2 sets > "More Settings" > LE Audio should be visible and enabled.
  4. Back in pixel buds app, you may see áudio sharing at the top or you have to click connection preferences, then you should see it.

There you go. Hope this helps someone.

A few additional notes:

  1. I haven't tested different versions of firmware or OS but my PBP2 are both on 3.154 and my Android is 16, build is BP2A.250705.008
  2. A bug, if we pause the video or audio too long. It seems like the audio sharing is dropped even though it shows it's still on. So I toggle it when I go to start the audio again.

Either way we're very pleased. Good luck!
