For context, LDAC is one of the few wireless audio codecs stamped Hi-Res by the Japan Audio Society and its encoder is open source since Android 8, so you can see just how long Windows is sleeping on this. I’m excited about the incoming next gen called LC3plus, my next pair is definitely gonna have that.
I recommend you all to switch to Pipewire. Most bluethooth problems are fixed.
Most destros default to Pipewire, even Debian 12.
Isn’t that standard on most linux systems?
if your distro is not using Pipewire youre using a shitty one
I’m so confused, please don’t confused a new linux user it doesn’t help me
You can find out if you have pipewire or pulseaudio by using
pactl info | grep "Server Name"You lost me
Pulseaudio used to be the standard audio server.Only recently pipewire has been taking its place.

I believe @twei meant, if you open a terminal and put in the following command:
pactl info | grep “Server Name” the output should tell you what sound server you are using.
Or an even better and less nerdy was is just using. System taskmaster and seeing pipewire
Not better. There is no way to know if you have “System Taskmaster” installed, as I have never heard of software named that, and their process is system agnostic.
Pulseaudio and pipewire are kind of like audio drivers (not exactly but anyway). Let’s say you’re running spotify and discord. They both send their audio to pipewire. You can then use pipewire to control how loud each one is. It also supports more complex use cases like if you’re streaming, you can hook up the spotify output and your microphone mixed together into discord’s input so that the mixed audio will be streamed.
Pipewire is newer and basically replaces another system called jack that did the same thing for pulseaudio.
not only that, but we even get opus for pw to pw bluetooth (handy for streaming audio from a secondary device like a laptop to desktop)
