LDAC on WH-1000XM5 Using Pipewire

Hi there, unfortunately after a lot of tinkering with wireplumber, and bluez config files I am still unable to use LDAC on my Sony WH-1000XM5s. The AAC is very unsatisfactory due to the absence of microphone use on it, so you can receive input on headset, but not talk into the mic.

Re: LDAC on WH-1000XM5 Using Pipewire

What did you try exactly? And what do you want to achieve?

For me, it uses LDAC when the microphone is off, and another two-way codec if it's in use. I don't think it's possible to use the microphone and headphones st the same time with the highest quality.

I have tried reconfiguring wireplumber's config, but the effect doesn't seem to come. If LDAC doesn't support bidirectional signal, that's fine, but how can I still turn it on? My goal is to be able to listen to highest quality sound when not on a call. What would also be the best profile/codec to use for when being on a call?

Could also be your adapter not supporting LDAC, what are you using here/how old is your system? FWIW what's your output for

pactl list cards
sudo journalctl -b -u bluetooth
