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 it 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:

Anyone here by chance know a solution to this?

    That’s weird, the apt search just comes back empty on your end? Like when you do apt search pipewire-audio-client-libraries it just comes back blank?

    Haha, no, I just copied & pasted your previous comment with new-lines. Didn’t feel like typing it all out myself.

    The 4 errors correlate to the 4 commands.

    I was able to install the packages but I didn’t notice a difference after reboot. I’m going to take a look tomorrow if anything changed when I get free time.

      Gotcha!

      Ah well it was worth a try, hopefully there’s someone around that is dealing with the same issue and can give you a better idea on what to try next.
