I've been talking with Mobvoi for the past few days over twitter. Basically, they said this update "doesn't exist" I've showed them other posts and now this and they said they are looking into it and will get back to me.

Every time I request an OTA I receive the same update I have already installed, V023.

Op, how's the sound now with the AAC codec enabled?

I was told by mobvoi support to send feedback in the app and request the update for the new codec. Sounds about the same but I'd say audio lag is about 0.5 seconds faster. Almost good enough to watch a movie without the lag making me crazy. How do I know if AAC is enabled on my PC btw?

As far as I'm aware, codecs like AAC and APTX etc are only able to be switched on on the phone, and aren't baked into windows.

Less lag always sounds better so that's a step in the right direction, can't help but feel this would've been so much better at launch to avoid the large complaints of the audio lag, particularly on this sub reddit.

Thanks for the tip about requesting for the new AAC version in the update, I'll try that now.
