Note:

If running the setup with an audio server that has LE Audio support (such as PipeWire) it will automatically register endpoints according to the configured roles. For more details about configuring a Broadcast Source with PipeWire check:
<https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/blob/master/doc/dox/config/pipewire-props.7.md>

unregister

Unregister Endpoint.

Usage

# unregister <UUID/object>

Note:

If the endpoint was registered by an audio server, it can't be unregistered from bluetoothctl. This must be done by the audio server as well.

config

Configure Endpoint.

Usage

# config <endpoint> <local endpoint> [preset]

Note:

If the endpoint was registered by an audio server, it can't be configured from bluetoothctl. This must be done by the audio server as well.

presets

List available presets.

Usage

# presets <endpoint>/<UUID> [codec[:company]] [preset] [codec config] [metadata]

Example using endpoint
#presets /local/endpoint/ep0 32_1_1
#presets /local/endpoint/ep0
