Judging by promises in the news of one-year limitations in updating Windows 10 21H2 (Sun Valley), which has become publicly available instead of autumn 2021 only at the end of January 2022, support for AAC audio codec must appear for Bluetooth.

I checked. It seems that AAC for Bluetooth in Windows 10 never appeared: (

This means that the Apple Airpods Wireless Headphones family and other devices with the support of the Codec will not "significantly better" (quote as promised in the news) to work when connected to devices with Windows 10. Those. Sound when connecting many Bluetooth headphones to the device with Windows 10 will be still poor quality, regardless of the source of audio recordings and the quality of the headphones themselves. (Maybe therefore some users tell the stories that the sound in the airpods "is not very").

Strange, but you will not find information on this on the Internet. With difficulty, you will find information on how to find out what kind of codec your headphones connected to Windows 10.

I found only one complex instruction in English How to do -

And one way simpler. This is downloaded by a paid Bluetooth Tweaker utility and have time to run it in a free (trial) period.

It turned out that Windows 10 via Bluetooth transmits the sound on with Airpods Pro on the SBC codec, despite the fact that the 21H2 update on Windows 10 is installed.

In the [Codec Selected By Windows] section, the utility wrote:

Codec Type: SBC, Sampling Frequency: 44.1Khz, Channel Mode: Joint Stereo, Block Length: 16, Subbands: 8, Allocation Method: Loudness, Min / Max BitPool: 2/53

And on SBC, at least a good sound is not easy.

Waiting when all the same in Windows 10 will bring AAC? Or someone knows how can it be done now?
