Hello, no, the nRF5340 SoC is the official BLE Audio device that we recommend, and there is currently no support for other platforms.

That said, according to our audio team the unicast_audio_client from Zephyr upstream example can turn the nRF52840 dongle as a broadcast dongle works in 24KHz sampling rate. But it might still need some tuning since it is not optimized, and also the stream cannot be encrypted due to limited computation power.

Using nrf52840 as broadcaster:
Ref: Readme from the bap_broadcast_source example https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/blob/main/samples/bluetooth/bap_broadcast_source/READM…
Ref: board file: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/blob/main/samples/bluetooth/bap_broadcast_source/board…

We are not able to provide much support for this solution.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Can the NRF52840-DONGLE be used for BLE Audio for streaming from laptop or mobile to hearing aid.

Hello,

Please have a look at the BLE Audio project page. The nRF5340 Audio Development Kit can be use to prototype audio applications. Please have a look at the nRF Connect SDK and nRF5340 Audio applications.

If you are new to our products and SDK we recommend starting with the Developer Academy and the nRF Connect SDK courses.

Kind regards,
Øyvind
