Confirming this is happening to me as well with some added information.
QuickTime.mov files with AAC LC audio encoding will not playback when my AirPod Pro 2nd gen are hooked up and using the QuickTime X application. If the audio is switched to speakers, there is no issue, but when switched to AirPods the files will not play.
Work around is to use VLC or Telestream Switch for playback but this won't work for my clients.
If I use HE-AACv2 as an audio codec the file will playback fine but I need to use the industry standard AAC LC @ 192 kbps and not another codec.
Same files run as MP4 wrapper and not QuickTime do not have this issue, so it's QuickTime related.
These same files will playback using older standard AirPods but there seems to be some sort of incompatibility when QuickTime is trying to read the AAC LC audio. The file won't even playback in QTX. It will open but will not playback.
I'm running on Ventura 13.6.3. Can anyone confirm on Sonoma? I've also tested a few Macs running slightly older versions of Ventura and the same issue persists.
Is there a possible Firmware fix for these?
> IINA can also play the latter
Edit: Also IINA or VLC can not play HE-AAC audio encoded without libfdk.
