So if you have a SONY headphone/earbuds or any other device which supports SONY LDAC codec then it's not possible to play the music file using LDAC codec However, there are 2 ways to do it 1) Running a VM in Windows and use Linux free LDAC driver [MEDIA=reddit]SonyHeadphones/comments/jebd31[/MEDIA] 2) The other is to use the paid Alternative A2DP Driver from [URL='https://www.bluetoothgoodies.com/a2dp/']Alternative A2DP Driver[/URL]. There's a free trial for 7 days before you buy Another paid software from its website, [URL='https://www.bluetoothgoodies.com/tweaker/']Bluetooth Tweaker[/URL], allows one to see what audio codecs are supported by the device and what codec Windows select. You can download, check and then delete the software In my case using the SONY WH-1000XM3 headphone the result from Alternative A2DP Driver is as below [ATTACH type="full" alt="1693010047359.png"]278127[/ATTACH] As for playing audio files using Aptx Adaptive codec you can 1) Get the Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless headphone and its BTD 600 Bluetooth Dongle both of which support Aptx Adaptive [URL unfurl="true"]https://global.sennheiser-hearing.com/products/momentum-4-wireless[/URL] BTD 600 is here [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.sennheiser-hearing.com/en-US/p/btd-600/[/URL] 2) Use Creative BT-W5 Smart Bluetooth 5.3 Audio Transmitter with AptX Adaptive which I'm using with the wireless GRADO GW100X open-can headphone.
