It requires the phone to support LE Audio.

Resurfacing this old thread because I’m running into the same issue while using the nRF5340 Audio DK. Just as the other user, I was able to build and flash the default audio application as a left headset, successfully connected to the DK using nRF Connect for Mobile app on an iPhone 12. However, it’s as though the phone does not recognize this Bluetooth device as an audio sink. For example, in Spotify, the DK does not show up at all and attempting to play audio just plays from the phones speaker. I know the phone supports Bluetooth LE, but is that sufficient? Perhaps it also needs to support Bluetooth LE Audio which I know it does not.

Hi,

[quote user="Isaac Ahlgren"] I'm not using the nRF5340 audio DK. I ported the software over to a EVK-NORA-B100 in preparation for developing for a custom board.[/quote]

Can you test with nRF5340Audio DK?

EVK-NORA-B100 seems to only have nRF5340, but no Audio codec to support Audio.

Thanks for the response.

I am using v2.3.0. I am using CIS mode. I've attached the requested logs below.

I just want to transmit some music from Apple Music on my iPhone to be played on the headset. When I see the listed Bluetooth audio devices in the Apple Music app, I don't see the headset as an option despite being able to connect to it.

Just in case this might be helpful, I'm not using the nRF5340 audio DK. I ported the software over to a EVK-NORA-B100 in preparation for developing for a custom board.

Hi,

What NCS version are you using? Could you try the latest version v2.3.0?

[quote user=""]when I pair with a phone (an iPhone in my case), the phone does not seem to recognize it as an audio sink.[/quote]

Could you provide more detail? Can you test with nRF Connect mobile and provide the log from it and the log from the nRF5340 ADK?

Are you using BIS or CIS mode?

If you want to use the mobile phone to connect the headset, please do not turn on the gateway since the gateway will scan and connect with the headset immediately. Pressing button 5 during boot-up can erase the bonding info on the nRF5340 audio DK.

[quote user=""]Question 1: Are these services enough to receive audio from the phone?[/quote]

Yes.

[quote user=""]Question 2: I'm assuming services are all I need to know in order to pair and receive audio from my phone, is this true?[/quote]

Yes.
