How can we Help you ?

My M4A and AAC files volume are too low on Windows 11 (update 22H2), what can I do ?

Table of Contents

Since the Windows 11 update 22H2, Microsoft have changed the codec AAC of the system.

This change results into a volume problem into DJUCED when it is decoding M4A and AAC files (that are used in some streaming services like Soundcloud GO+, files legally bought on iTunes or Bandcamp…)

Lots of DJs and music softwares are impacted by this change, and the issue has been reported to Microsoft.

We are hoping for a Windows update that fixes this issue in the future.

Temporary solution #

If you are using DJUCED 6.0.1 and newer version, you can install by yourself manually an AAC decoder as a plugin for DJUCED.

  1. Download the bass_aac24.zip file and extract it’s content.
  2. Copy the bass_aac.dll from the x64 folder.
  3. Paste the bass_aac.dll file into “Documents/DJUCED/plugins” folder.
  4. Be sure to restart DJUCED to apply the change.
