No audio support for HEIC format?

Hi,
I have imported HEIC files from iOS into Immich. With web app, selecting on of them display a static image at first (OK). When clicking on the "Play Motion Photo" button, video stream is played - but there is no audio with it.
  • Immich 1.139.3
  • Vanilla transcoding settings
  • Browsers: Firefox ESR / Chromium
  • OS: Debian 12/13
  • libavcodec61 and heif-gdk-pixbuf installed, also ffmpeg
  • Other played video files like .mov or mp4 in Immich web app have no audio issues on said system
  • In contrast mobile (iOS, Android app and web version) works.
  • macOS desktop audio does work in Safari, but not work in Firefox
This is a HEIC multimedia codec issue especially for desktop systems, it seems?
My question is: What multimedia codecs am I missing or what do I need to do in order to also have audio played with HEIC files (Debian/Firefox)?

Thanks very much for any clues.
