nRF5340 LE Audio Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro - Multiple Problems

[ksmith197]

Hello,

I using the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro headphones to connect to the latest v2.4.0 nRF SDK. I am using the LE Audio demo code as gateway. The demo connects successfully out of the box to the headphones, with some modifications to the prj.conf file, using the nRF5340 Audio DK. For my project needs, I have both source and sink enabled via CONFIG_STREAM_BIDIRECTIONAL.

CONFIG_AUDIO_DEV=2

Problem #1 - Controller Crashes

If you connect to the right headset first, then connect to the left headset, the"ble5-ctr-rpmsg_3349" controller crashes. I believe this also happened on the 3330 controller as well.

The crash happens after calling bt_bap_stream_start on the Left SINK. This only happens if you connect to the right headset first, followed by the left.

Once the controller crashes, the next call to bt_hci_cmd_send_sync will fail on semaphore take "timeout with err -11". This usually happens either on the next le_audio_send stream send OR on the ble_core.c watchdog call to net_core_ctrl_version_get.

Problem #2 - Connection constantly disconnects

There seems to be a possible timing issue when connecting a headset stream, then starting the scan / connection to the other headset.

After starting the left headset stream, when you start scanning / connecting to the right headset, the left headset drops connection. It happens as soon as the right headset starts scan / connection. I have noticed that if you start searching for the right headset later in time / further in the code connection sequence, this happens much less frequently. The ACL scan is originally in unicast_client_location_cb. If I move the ACL scan to discover_source_cb or stream_enabled_cb, the issue happens much less frequently. If this is time dependent, then this is also likely a problem because as we add code to the rest of the system, time could change again and cause the issue to come back.

Problem #3 - Source audio not always acquired

The next issue that I have seen is if you connect to the headset successfully, the first time the connection is made, the source (headset microphone) audio will play on the headphone jack every time. The issue comes when you put the headset back in the case and close the lid, then re-open and take the headset out. The next successful connection will have a 50% chance of the microphone audio playing on the headphone jack. This 50% chance of source audio working happens every time you put the headphones back in the case and take them out again. 

One note: I have also tested this on a non-audio DK, with the source audio being fed back into the headset sink. For this reason, I don't think the issue has to do with the I2S or HW codec etc.

Lastly, it looks like the audio in data is still being received since the callback for Rx data is still being called.

I have attached an example project. It is the LE audio demo code with minor modifications. Search for <Modified> in the code to see what I modified. The modifications were only made in prj.conf and le_audio_cis_gateway.c

nrf2_4_0_AudioDemo.zip

I'm still investigating but I tested your config, which is mostly the same as what I was testing, except that CONFIG_WALKIE_TALKIE_DEMO is enabled (MCS MCC enabled effectively) in my configuration. I did not see a crash with CONFIG_WALKIE_TALKIE_DEMO disabled (your config). However, your config seems to connect to the right quickly then hangs on ACL connections to the left. Infrequently it will connect to the left.

Enable CONFIG_WALKIE_TALKIE_DEMO and the controller will crash.

Thanks for double checking. Yes I have the same headphone build.

"Could you also elaborate on how you specifically test to connect the right earbud first?"

I have a zip file attached to the post with a failing setup. Search for <Modified> in the code to see what I modified. In the code it connects, then checks if right or left via location like you described. If right first, disconnect and try again.

On a similar note: we would like to uniquely connect to headsets, not just any headset named "Galaxy Buds2 Pro". I have added filtering into the code but unfortunately only the right headset is filterable. The left headset public address is never found. The left headset always advertises random addresses. So to sum it up, I can connect uniquely to a headset but it can only uniquely connect to the right headset first, which is a problem because of the right before left crash issue.

"I understand that you also had this disabled initially, but some later comments seem to indicate that you are using bonding in your testing"

Yes sorry about that. I am not using bonding at all. The info provided was just the results that I receive when trying to bond.

Thanks for the support!

If you want to replicate, try the zip file provided in the post

[ksmith197]

We can't provide a pre-release version of the controller. You will have to wait for the official release.

We also don't have a guarantee for a fix because of the descriptions not matching (as Karl pointed out).

OK no problem. The attached zip file should provide the controller crash fail condition for your testing. Thanks anyway though

[ksmith197]

Also, another issue, we have tried implementing 8 Khz LC3 audio, which looks to be correct, except that the connection drops immediately after starting streaming.

What is the progress on the crash issue? We are going on 3 weeks and I haven't heard any news that you have replicated the crash issue.

Hello!

Sorry about the delay, and thank you for your patience.

Also, another issue, we have tried implementing 8 Khz LC3 audio, which looks to be correct, except that the connection drops immediately after starting streaming.

Based on what I can see this should be supported. But I will ask the LE Audio experts to make sure.

What is the progress on the crash issue? We are going on 3 weeks and I haven't heard any news that you have replicated the crash issue.

We still haven't been able to reproduce the crash, so we need some more help from you. In addition to the crash problem

About problem #1:

Our tester is back in office and has tried to replicate the crash. He has not been able to do this though.

We want to be sure that his environment is the same as yours. Could you please check that the correct toolchain is chosen when you are building your project? For NCS v2.3.0 this should be located in ncs/toolchains/v2.3.0 if you have an automatic install and the zephyr-sdk version should be 0.15.2.

---

For problem #2:

Our tester has not seen the disconnection happen.

---

Now to problem #3:

Samsung earbuds will not work without MCS in the gateway. MCS with bidirectional mode is not supported by our solution now.

Something to look out for is that if you pause the stream before the earbuds are disconnected, the state of the stream will be different from the expectations of the connection. After reconnection the earbuds will request the streams to play, but the gateway will only know how to enable.

Our main tester had some time to prepare modifications you can use to test:

In prj.conf add these configs:

CONFIG_AUDIO_SOURCE_I2S=y
CONFIG_BLE_ACL_CONN_INTERVAL=36
CONFIG_BT_AUDIO_PRESENTATION_DELAY_US=40000
CONFIG_BT_AUDIO_MAX_TRANSPORT_LATENCY_MS=100
CONFIG_BT_DEVICE_NAME="Galaxy Buds2 Pro"
CONFIG_BT_LOG_SNIFFER_INFO=y
CONFIG_BT_BONDABLE=n
CONFIG_STREAM_BIDIRECTIONAL=y

Best regards,

Maria

I included some incomplete and irrelevant information in my last post. Sorry about that.

Corrections and additions below.

You are using NCS 2.4.0 of course, so here is the relevant information:

For NCS v2.4.0 this should be located in ncs/toolchains/31f4403e35 if you have an automatic install and the zephyr-sdk version should be 0.16.0.

I only included the prj.conf additions, but le_audio_cis_gateway needs modifications as well.

Comment out:

Add

		ret = bt_bap_stream_enable(&headsets[AUDIO_CH_L].source_stream,

	if (ret) {

}

as a third if-statement within le_audio_play_pause_cb(bool play) if(play).
