Switch Creative BT-W5 between AptX Adaptive Low Latency and High Quality modes
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# Simple tool to switch the Creative BT-W5 Bluetooth Audio dongle between AptX Adaptive **Low Latency** or **High Quality** mode.
# Of course, only works with Bluetooth headphones that support AptX Adaptive, such as the Tranya X3
# Reverse engineered based on communication between Creative's desktop app for Windows and the BT-W5.
# Might also accidentally overwrite other settings as a whole config data array is sent without taking into account the existing config.
#
# Usage: sudo ./btw5-switch.py ll (for low-latency mode)
# sudo ./btw5-switch.py hq (for high-quality mode)
#
