Auracast test with the nRF5340 Audio Development Kit

[Giampiero]

Hi.

I'm evaluating the LE Audio Auracast using some nRF5340 Audio Development Kits.

I programmed a board as the source and a board as a target and I successfully played music on the speaker connected to the Line-out of the target board.

At this point I wanted to connect a wireless headphone based on a Qualcomm chipset so I tried to use my Samsung S24Ultra (Android 15) to link the Auracast transmission coming from the  nRF5340 source kit with the headphone. The problem is that my smartphon doesn't detect any Auracast stream on air. Actually the it doesn't detect any nRF5340.

Is it possible this use case?

Is there a guide to test the LE Audio Auracast features with standard sources an targets already available on the market?

Thanks

Hello Giampiero. 

What version of the nRF Connect SDK are you running? 

connect a wireless headphone based on a Qualcomm chipset

Does this headset support BLE Audio? 

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Hi Øyvind.

On the box I read "nRF5340-Audio-DK Rev. 1.0.1.

The Qualcomm chipset supports LE Audio and Auracast. I'm sure about it because my S24Ultra shows the LE Audio option in the BlueTooth devices management screen and the Auracast icon.
