glitchy sound when using rNF5340 Audio.

[tech-apprentice]

When compiling the rNF5340 Audio sample project the sound that comes out is glitchy and after a short while the gateway crashes. I have three rNF5340 Audio DK running in the gateway, left and right setup. I use "python3 buildprog.py -c both -b debug -d both --pristine -p --recover" command line to compile and run the scipts to the DK's.

just as a note i haven't edited any of the C i just created a new application, choose rNF5340 Audio, added config and changed the devices.json file.

my os is macOs.

devices.json

[
 {
        "nrf5340_audio_dk_snr": 1050192156,
        "nrf5340_audio_dk_dev": "headset",
        "channel": "left"
 },
 {
        "nrf5340_audio_dk_snr": 1050187039,
        "nrf5340_audio_dk_dev": "gateway",
        "channel": "NA"
 },
 {
        "nrf5340_audio_dk_snr": 1050120160,
        "nrf5340_audio_dk_dev": "headset",
        "channel": "right"
 }
]

i also got some debug messages from each DK from the VCOM0 port. i hope it is useful.

Hello,

Glad to hear it worked .

 Thank  you so much  for sharing the information here.

Kind Regards,

Hi, I realise this is now a few months old but was hoping to hear if there was a fix on the horizon for audio over USB when using the audio DK boards with a mac?  I have the demos running on my audio DK boards, but have come across the same glitching audio issue (SDK 2.3.0).  It would be useful to be able to stream audio directly from my mac for testing.

Many thanks!
