Qualcomm Snapdragon Sound bundles mobile audio tech for discerning ears Chris Davies - Mar 4, 2021, 10:00am CST Qualcomm has launched Snapdragon Sound, its new package of audio technology and software for phones and wireless earbuds. It’s effectively umbrella branding for everything from mobile chipsets through Bluetooth radios and active noise cancellation, much in the way Snapdragon Mobile Platforms cover SoCs, modems, and more. Snapdragon Sound will therefore include Snapdragon 8-series mobile platforms, like the recently-announced Snapdragon 888 flagship 5G chipset. It’ll also tap the company’s FastConnect 6900 mobile connectivity system, and its QCC514x, QCC515x and QCC3056 series Bluetooth Audio SoCs. Announced in late 2020, they can include features like auto-calibration to work around earbuds that don’t necessarily make a completely tight seal in the ear.
