Sure would be cool if Windows supported anything but AAC and SBC though...

Windows has full support for AptX since forever.

From what I've seen this isn't true. Search for "Windows AptX LL" and you'll see dozens of ways you might install drivers that add support. The most common advice seems to be to buy a dongle that supports it.

All my laptops and PCs support AptX out of the box without any 3rd party stuff. There can be exceptions, sure, but I haven't seen them myself.

AptX and AptX LL are not the same thing. AptX has the same latency as LDAC and SBC: >200ms; whereas AptX LL is actually decent at ~30ms. AptX is supported by Windows out of the box, AptX LL is not.

[–] Aux 1 points 2 years ago

Both are supported.

Huh, must be my hardware then. It is getting kinda old...

When my PC didn't have built-in Bluetooth stack, I was using ASUS single. It's cheap and works just fine with my headphones without any noticeable latency. And there's definitely a huge difference when I try to use my Bose 700 which don't support shit.
