Previously on Debian 12 I followed a guide to install the AAC audio codec for my Air Pods yet after upgrading to Debian 13 I seem to have lost the codec as I can no longer select them in KDE sound settings leaving only A2DP/SBC and A2DP/SBC-XQ, now I’m a bit at a lost as I remember all I had to do was put a aac.so file into
/usr/lib/x86\_64-linux-gnu/spa-0.2/bluez5/Bluez5 directory list:
- libspa-codec-bluez5-sbc.so
- libspa-codec-bluez5-opus-g.so
- libspa-codec-bluez5-opus.so
- libspa-codec-bluez5-ldac.so
- libspa-codec-bluez5-lc3.so
- libspa-codec-bluez5-g722.so
- libspa-codec-bluez5-faststream.so
- libspa-codec-bluez5-aptx.so
- libspa-codec-bluez5-aac.so
- libspa-bluez5.so
Anyone here by chance know a solution to this?
Interesting, going over the documentation from the Debian Wiki they even say it’s not distributed in their repo’s?
I couldn’t find instructions from Bluez to install the source and I didnt want to risk breaking my current install by just guessing hence why I went with the solution posted on Reddit.
It seems you’re talking about something specific to bluetooth yet you made a very broad statement about “The AAC codec” earlier. As with your title: Be precise.
