Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 59000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

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:

  • 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?

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.
