# Bose Flex 2 — AAC codec wedges PipeWire (browser video spinner)
|
|
|
|
**Symptom:** With the Bose Flex 2 SoundLink connected over Bluetooth, PipeWire output periodically wedges (`running -> error`); browser video freezes on the loading spinner. Recurring through 2026-09-14 morning.
|
|
|
|
**Diagnosis path:**
|
|
1. `wpctl status` — sink in error state.
|
|
2. `wpctl inspect <node>` — check negotiated codec; AAC was the trigger.
|
|
|
|
**Fix (permanent, 2026-09-14):** Switch the card profile from AAC to SBC-XQ: profile `a2dp-sink-sbc_xq`, pinned in `~/.local/state/wireplumber/default-profile`.
|
|
|
|
**If it wedges again:** check codec via `wpctl inspect` *before* restarting pipewire — a fresh wedge on a different codec means a different root cause.
