Does the Surface Pro support APT-X Bluetooth?

I'm looking at some bluetooth speakers, and I know that APT-X codec gives better sound quality.

Would this work with the Pro? Or would I need different drivers?

Thanks

    Hmm my last reply vanished. 

    Aptx is Bluetooth but Bluetooth 1.-4. is not itself aptx.

    Aptx is made by csr.

    See which tablets contain aptx:http://www.csr.com/technology-solutions/av/audio-products-powered-by-csr-aptx/tablet

    Well spotted when it came to the other answer you Got.

    Enjoy your hifi!!

    Yes it does support Aptx, windows 10 itself does. Check this link for confirmation.

    Nice one danielllll....no Microsoft on that list so it looks like a no :(

    You'd think as a codec, it could be added on.

    Come on Microsoft!

    Thanks Steven, but I don't think that answers my question.

    If I bought some APT-X speakers I want to know if the Surface would automatically use the APT-X codec, or the lower quality standard codec.
