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.

Isn't that standard on most linux systems?

[-] fugepe@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

if your distro is not using Pipewire youre using a shitty one

[-] Simplesyrup@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

I'm so confused, please don't confused a new linux user it doesn't help me

[-] twei@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

You can find out if you have pipewire or pulseaudio by using pactl info | grep "Server Name"

Pulseaudio used to be the standard audio server.Only recently pipewire has been taking its place.

@Simplesyrup @twei@feddit.de

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

[-] optissima@possumpat.io 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Simplesyrup@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

I mean task manger, but on my distro it's just system

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.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
