How to force AAC / aptX on macOS

Hi,

I have had a lot of problems with Bluetooth on mac mini from day 1. I just wanted to share the solution. I was having lots of problems connecting new bluetooth headphones and earbuds. Finally, I discovered that somehow the default setting was aptX instead of AAC.

view current setting:s:

sudo defaults read bluetoothaudiod

enable AAC:

sudo defaults write bluetoothaudiod "Enable AAC codec" -bool true

disable aptx:

sudo defaults write bluetoothaudiod "Enable AptX codec" -bool false

verrify changes:

sudo defaults read bluetoothaudiod

Now everything sounds great
