I have tried everything, but I cannont get LDAC to work with Sony WF-1000-MX4.
I've added:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:berglh/pulseaudio-a2dp
I ran update and upgrade and installed:
sudo apt install libldac pulseaudio-modules-bt libavcodec-extra58 libfdk-aac1 bluez pulseaudio blueman
When I run:
pacmd list cards
I get:
index: 1

properties:
The "no" at the end of (A2DP Sink: LDAC) (priority 40, available: no) is clear enough, but just to make sure I ran:
pacmd set-card-profile 1 a2dp_sink_ldac
and get :
Failed to set card profile to 'a2dp_sink_ldac'
Does anyone know what else I can try? I've spent an afternoon trying to get it to work.
I also tried Pipewire, but had comparable results.
