Qualcomm has just announced a new and exciting chip — the QCC3086. This innovative hardware is designed primarily for use within third-party dongles and adapters, and aims to bring lag-free gaming audio and more than just smartphones. That means whether you’re sporting an Apple MacBook Air or the latest Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone, you should be able to take advantage of low-latency and state-of-the-art audio features simply by plugging in a USB dongle.
The headline feature is a latency reduction to below 20ms for seamless audio streaming, but the chipset supports other Snapdragon Sound technologies too. This includes Auracast for use with phones, laptops, and smart televisions, as well as Qualcomm’s aptX audio codecs.
