Windows 10 update adds AAC support
The operating system has so far supported other popular codecs like AptX and SBC but missed out always on the AAC front. With AAC, the benefits come in the form of high-quality audio streaming with lesser file sizes. Hence, Windows 10 users can now expect better audio quality from compatible headphones than before.

Other than the addition of AAC codec, Windows 10 will also present a better unified audio endpoint than the current one. The idea is to provide a simple interface that allows choosing between audio sources in a single click instead of multiple ones. Headphones can now also make the switch to the right profile automatically.
“No more clicking through multiple audio endpoints to make your Bluetooth headset’s voice and mic work properly. We now only expose one audio endpoint in the UI and will switch to the correct one automatically for you for a seamless experience. Listening to Spotify and then have to hop onto a Teams call? You can also now directly control the volume of your headset,” said Microsoft on its blog.
With a better Bluetooth audio streaming system, you can now expect improved performances from your compatible headphones. The support for AAC should also result in Apple bringing Apple Music to the Windows platform. For those in the unknown, Apple still offers the iTunes app for Windows PCs instead of offering the updated Apple Music app.
