Announcing Bluetooth LE Audio

Will phones/computers that have bluetooth 4 or 5 be able to transmit bluetooth LE audio? Is it just a BLE feature that can be added in software, or is it a completely new standard?

Most likely no. LE Audio requires controller support for Isochronous channels which is major part of Bluetooth 5.2. Usually firmware updates for bt chipsets are more like bug fixes than new features.

Not to mention majority of devices on the market already ship from the factory with depleted firmware update slots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_nI9ok7iQg
