I have wh1000xm4 headphones, installed void with xfce, turned on “Prioritize Sound Quality”, but can’t enable LDAC in settings.
From looking at their build scripts, I would try installing
ldacBT, as pipewire is compiled against it but has no install depend on it for installation.Installed, but problem is solved, thx
In my case, the solution was to disable “connect 2 devices simultaneously” from Sony app because that setting disable the LDAC codec.

this is helped, thank you
LDAC is proprietary, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it isn’t available on Linux. You can probably use SBC-XQ, though, which is open source and lossless. Try installing pavucontrol and check what codecs it offers you for the headphones.
Edit: SBC-XQ, not QX.
ldac is available on linux, i can switch to it. i use the “pulsemixer” program to switch codecs. also it’s SBC-XQ, not QX
Thx for the correction, I was writing from memory.
LDAC works just fine on Linux, but may be a different package or repo since it’s somewhat proprietary. Just worked out of the box for me on Arch.
how is bad just to use proprietary codec? I try to use only open source solutions, but if it’s just codes is it so bad?
That’s an ethical question, and as such rather difficult to answer. I prefer open source codecs, but you have a headphone designed with LDAC in mind. I don’t think you should feel bad about trying to get your money’s worth and using LDAC if it suits your needs.
