# HLE AAC Decoder
During our reverse engineering efforts, it was found that Pokemon X/Y use `AAC` files for the music.
So, to achieve feature parity between LLE & HLE audio, our developer B3N30 implemented an HLE AAC decoder.
This makes Pokemon X/Y work at full speed, with audio, without using the slow LLE method.
**Please note that this method might not improve audio or performance for all games that started working on LLE.**
### Instructions
* Download the latest canary build [here](https://citra-emu.org/download/).
* If you are using **macOS**, you don't need anything else. It will work directly.
* If you are using **Windows** -
- Download this zip file - [FFMPEG DLLs](https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win64/shared/ffmpeg-4.1-win64-shared.zip)
- now extract the contents of `bin` folder, into the `canary-mingw` folder located in `C:/users/<USERNAME>/AppData/local/citra/` by default.
- **Note:** If you changed Citra's install location, you will have to paste these DLLs inside the folder where `citra-qt.exe` is located.

* If you are using **Linux**, you need to build Citra on your own.
- Follow the [[Building for Linux]] guide.
- You will need to install the following additional packages before building - `libavcodec-dev` & `libfdk-aac-dev`.
* And you are done. Just boot up Citra, select `HLE (fast)` in the `Audio` tab and play.
