nRF5340 LE Audio CIS bidirectional TWS (NCS v2.5.0)

[gocchan]

Hi, 

I'm considering bidirectional TWS in CIS.

In other words, I want the gateway to be able to output the microphone audio from the L and R headsets.

It seems that the nRF5340 Audio DK can only render either L or R due to the codec implemented, but our custom board implements a stereo output codec.

However, only audio from the L side can be played.

I am developing based on CIS's WALKIE-TALKIE.

I found a description in the le_audio_rx_data_handler function of le_audio_rx.c that allows only the Lch signal to pass.

When I changed AUDIO_CH_L to AUDIO_CH_R, the audio from the R side headset was now played, but the audio from the L side was no longer played.

I tried disabling all of this description, but only the audio from the L side is played, and the audio from the R side is not played.

How should I edit the code to mix and play both L and R audio?

The source for realizing this application seems to have been released, but it is difficult to use as a reference because the NCS version is old.

Regards, 

Gotoda

I changed to v2.4.2 and built it, but the same error occurs.

Hi, 

We have checked from our side, and cannot reproduce the issue.

Could you try the following steps?

       0. make sure we have stash/backup all the changes, or finish the commit

1. in NCS, I add the git remote
   $ git remote add dual_mic https://github.com/rick1082/sdk-nrf.git
2. fetch the example
   $ git fetch dual_mic dual_mic_sample_2_4_2
3. checkout the branch
   $ git checkout dual_mic_sample_2_4_2
4. run west update
   $ west update
5. go to nrf/applications/nrf5340_audio/tools/buildprog and use buildprog.py to build the program and flash
