I have wh1000xm4 headphones, installed void with xfce, turned on “Prioritize Sound Quality”, but can’t enable LDAC in settings.

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 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.

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.

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.

In my case, the solution was to disable “connect 2 devices simultaneously” from Sony app because that setting disable the LDAC codec

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.
