case about LC3 AUDIO NRF5340-CLAA-R

[peter.min]

Hi ,

1.Does this chip stream media, i.e. music playback?

2.Is there a new nRF5340 chip to be released that can play music without codec?

1- Yes, the nRF5340 is the SoC we recommend for LE Audio development, for instance see:

2. No, there will always need to be a codec - the LC3 codec is mandatory for LE Audio and it is optional to switch to other codecs if boths sides of the link support it.

Best regards,
Kenneth
