Ubuntu 26.04 LDAC Defaults to 48Khz

Is there anyway to default to 96khz/24bit audio, ensure LDAC locks to High Quality (990kbps) instead of auto-scaling down? I've tried everything, including but not limited to pipewire conf files,

Bluetooth qualification for Linux-based products can be complex, but new upstream BlueZ documentation helps bring the key details together.

Supported profiles, test requirements, software versions, and manual steps are now easier to navigate in one place.

Update on the Fiio EH11 headset, after a month of use:

* Indeed, after flashing an EQ preset on them (with the official Android app), they sound amazing.

* Rotary knobs truly are a huge UX benefit.

* On Linux, #BlueZ / BluetoothD struggles with them. Getting them to reconnect correctly (in a way where #PipeWire sees them) is very finicky.

* I broke the headband while putting them on my head today 😭 Can someone in #Montreal do #3Dprinting of https://makerworld.com/en/models/2690121-fiio-eh11-headband-replacement ?

Fiio EH11 headband replacement - Free 3D Print Model - MakerWorld

Download this free 3D print file designed by alexeevalexg. Replacement headband for those Fiio EH11 headphones, that already was broken in half.Printed in PETG, flexible enough even for big head and much better than stock headband. Avoid PLA - it is too brittle.My print profile is for A1 with 0.4 nozzle, 0.16mm height, 30%infill. You can print it with your own settings, just dont forget to turn on supports (tree auto is enough).2 versions:1. Wide 12mm headband for more robust and better matching the earcup parts width.2. Stock 10mm width.Replacement guide:1. Unscrew two little screws in headband caps, shown on photo. PH000 or even PH0000 bit needed.2. Carefully open caps (pry from the end, where the screw located)3. Peel off the cable from headband. You can heat up the cable slightly with hairdryer, but i didnt. Just slowly pull the cable, the adhesive used is rather weak.4. Remove rubber stops from the ends of metal rails - there are small cuts from one side. Be careful - rubber is very soft and can be easily split in half.5. Now the last and a little complicated step. Metal rails have bumps near the rubber stops, which prevent rail from being pulled out from headband. You can broke already broken headband in pieces to pull rails out, or you can heat up them carefully (i used adjustable turbo lighter) and then pull out easily.Yeah, and Snowsky Disc case on photo (which i definitely recommend) - also from Makerworld, created by @Zilcho

Ehrlich gesagt gibt es viel wichtigere Baustellen, die auch für Otto-Normal-User:in erheblich sichtbarer sind, in denen man mal mit dem großen Rust-Mop drüberwischen müsste.

Der ganze #Bluetooh-Stack von Linux #BlueZ stinkt zum Himmel. Ich hatte letztens den Fall, dass alleine das Auftauchen meines Smartphones als neues Gerät dazu führte, dass sich alle Prozesse die direkt mit Bluetooh-Audio interagieren (libspa-bluez) mit Anlauf auf die Segfault-Fresse gelegt haben. Toll…! (nicht)

#Linux #Bluetooth #bluez ist doch auch nur so ein vibe-programmiertes Fäkalprodukt (und das schon lange bevor es degenerative code LLMs gab)

segfault at … in libspa-bluez5.so

Ratet mal was ich getan habe damit das passiert…? (Auflösung im Alt-Text in dem der Screenshot erklärt wird).

Wenn es etwas verdient hätte in #Rust neu geschrieben zu werden, dann wäre es der Bluetooth-Stack. Das ist alles so kaputt, da gibt es keine Bedenken irgendwelche Kompatibilitäten zu brechen.

Why is #Bluetooth #support on #Linux still completely #shit ? And before you come at me I have data, I'm a co-maintainer of both #bluez and #linux-firmware in @fedora and I did a #talk on it at #kernel summit.

If you're unconvinced show me a #LE-audio device that just works on Linux not in #legacy mode without having to (re) build code or change config files!
