oh cool on linux you can *just* use AAC/LDAC/APTX/LC3 as long as the bluetooth reciever supports it and the codec is installed (depends on the distro)common linux w

most bluetooth devices support APTx/LDAC/AAC but due to liscensing isn't capable. macOS used to have AptX support baked in but they removed it some time ago

@Jes for some reason I couldn’t get it to work with pipewire or pulseaudio (only sbc and higher bitrate versions of it are listed in pactl send-message /card/bluez_card.<address>/bluez list-codecs) with headphones that support aptX or AAC

@Jes actually never mind, I thought I was using pipewire on alpine but I was actually still using pulseaudio. now I switched to pipewire and AAC works (so it's working with pipewire but not with pulseaudio)

@noisytoot oh that makes more sense. pulseaudio needs a patch to support anything above SBC https://github.com/EHfive/pulseaudio-modules-bt

@Jes you can maybe enable an option to do high bitrate SBC for those that don't, too
