The point is that the 20+ year old Sounds settings are still much easier to use than the new bullshit settings UI that keeps changing all the time.

I can’t find shit in the Windows 8/10/11 settings and still use the old settings wherever possible.

Afaik the protocol is documented[1] and the clients are open source[2].

No code available for the backend though.

You can repair a broken cable fairly easily.

When you buy wireless headphones you know upfront that they will die within a few years and you will not be able to replace the tiny glued in, oddly shaped batteries they come with.

I like the convenience of BT at times, but I really miss having headphone jacks and hate having to bring adaptors with me.
