Hello guys,
I have been trying to debug a problem for the past two days and I need your help. Even though I have aptX/aptX-HD compatible devices (Sony WH-900n, EDIFIER R1700bt) and a Bluetooth 5.0 adapter (Mpow BH456A that uses the rtl8761b chip) I am unable to connect with any of them using those codecs via Pipewire/Wireplumber. The only options are SBC and SBC-XQ.
I have libfreeaptx installed:

}Is there any manual step that needs to be made to enable those features? My headphones are even supposed to support LDAC since they are Sony and it's a Sony codec.
Any help would be appreciated!

Have there been any updates on this? I'm apparently having exactly the same issue across all of my computers. One of my pairs of earbuds shows AAC as an option, but otherwise I can only select SBC, SBC-XQ, CVSD, or mSBC (the latter two being headset profiles). Both devices I have are supposed to support at least regular aptX, though I don't know which extra variants (-HD, -LL, etc) they support, if any.
Wireplumber has changed config file formats and no longer accepts lua, so the above examples from spasoff are no longer current, but it shouldn't be necessary to change anything from it anyway; the docs say that all supported codecs are enabled by default. (And in any case, enabling them manually did nothing in my tests.)
I also tried building the pipewire-git AUR package, which changed nothing.
Going back to pulseaudio didn't work either (using `pactl send-message` to list codecs showed only the same as before).
I'm basically stuck, since I can't find anything relevant to this particular issue via Google besides this thread and haven't managed to get any of the relevant programs to emit useful error messages either. Anyone have any ideas?
