** Bug watch added: gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/issues #1400 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/issues/1400 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1992306 Title: Default to a2dp ldac_hq codec for bluethooth headset and sound distorted Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I had some trouble getting my bluetooth headphones to work and I believe the culprit is the default codec that pulseaudio chooses. It appears to work ok when having no other Bluetooth devices connected, but when connecting a bluetooth mouse the audio gets distorted and begins to stutter. The offending codec is ldac_hq. I did some investigating today and found out you can change the codec in pavucontrol. Selecting ldac_sq seems to work without any issue. I don't know what the problem with ldac_hq is, maybe bandwidth? Wasn't able to find any obvious problems in the logs, even when enabling debugging in bluez. While investigating this I noticed others having the same issue, and it was difficult to find a way to change the codec, so maybe ldac_hq shouldn't be chosen as default?
