For context, LDAC is one of the few wireless audio codecs stamped Hi-Res by the Japan Audio Society and its encoder is open source since Android 8, so you can see just how long Windows is sleeping on this. I’m excited about the incoming next gen called LC3plus, my next pair is definitely gonna have that.

            You can find out if you have pipewire or pulseaudio by using pactl info | grep "Server Name"

                Pulseaudio used to be the standard audio server.Only recently pipewire has been taking its place.

                    Not better. There is no way to know if you have “System Taskmaster” installed, as I have never heard of software named that, and their process is system agnostic.

            Pulseaudio and pipewire are kind of like audio drivers (not exactly but anyway). Let’s say you’re running spotify and discord. They both send their audio to pipewire. You can then use pipewire to control how loud each one is. It also supports more complex use cases like if you’re streaming, you can hook up the spotify output and your microphone mixed together into discord’s input so that the mixed audio will be streamed.

            Pipewire is newer and basically replaces another system called jack that did the same thing for pulseaudio.
