jelicicm mentioned ubuntu in the original comment. I seem to remember that as of Ubuntu 20.04, LDAC wasn't supported. I needed to jump through some hoops to get it to work. It was still using full-on pulseaudio, not pipewire, at the time. I wouldn't be surprised for it to still not support non-free codecs out of the box.

I've indeed had no issues on my Arch install. Works perfectly with LDAC on my Sony headphones and aptx-hd on my Shure.

The mic of the Sony is a bad joke so I never use it, but I've tried it and switching modes worked fine on Linux.

I hear you on that one. I'm patiently awaiting end-to-end support for LE audio with bidirectional audio streams, and maybe, if we're really lucky, Sony will release a pair of headphones that has a better microphone to go with it.
