Not able to connect nRF5340 LE Audio to Android

Hi support team! I hope you're well.

I'm trying to connect nRF5340 Audio DK (gateway) to my Pixel 6a. The problem is there's no `NRF5340_AUDIO` detected via Bluetooth when I flash the sample in CIS mode and in BIS mode it's detected but cannot be connect (please find a screenshot from nRF Connect application attached).

Is there any way to make nRF5340 connectable to a phone?

Also, does my phone require to have a "LE Audio" supported chipset (like the once listed here: www.qualcomm.com/.../bluetooth-le-audio) on it to even be connected? Will Bluetooth 5.2 and OS support (Android 13 has support for LE Audio profile) not be enough?

As a side note my question is very similar to this one: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/91856/nrf5340-audio-dk-connection-to-phone

Many thanks,
Warm Regards,
Pavel

  • Hi Nordic team,

    I've just received Pixel 7 with LE Audio support and I still cannot connect to any of NRF5340 Audio configurations (headset/gateway, CIS/BIS). Is it possible? Here's the screenshot from NRF Connect application:



    Thank you,
    Warm regards,
    Pavel

  • I was able to pair an nrf5340 audio devkit running as a headset to a Google Pixel 8 phone running Android 14, by enabling the experimental "LE Audio" feature on the paired device settings.  Here you can see me stream audio from a youtube video to the earbuds connected to the nrf5340 audio devkit, which means Android 14 now supports the LC3 codec.



    Here's the bluetooth pairing dialog, I had to select this device, select settings, then enable "LE Audio".  I also had to use developer options to "Enable LE audio toggle in Device Details".  Now I just have to figure out how to make it work the other way around with the nrf5340 acting as a microphone.  More details here: https://lovettsoftware.com/#posts/nrf5340_pixel/.
