Audio On Pi: Here Are Your Options

Hackaday: There are a ton of fun Raspberry Pi and Linux projects that require audio output – music players, talking robots, game consoles and arcades, intelligent assistants, mesh network walkie-talkies, and much more! There’s no shortage of Pi-based iPods out there, and my humble opinion is that we still could use more of them.

I really appreciated how relatively user friendly and approachable this article was in terms of expected knowledge about Raspberry Pi, while still going in depth about the different audio related options available for the hardware and software. Sound is a key component in many electronic builds, so seeing how it can be incorporated into builds through various methods is really interesting. While I’ve played with some Raspberry Pi boards in the past, they have been something I’ve been meaning to explore more with a couple of smaller electronics projects I’m working on at the moment - one of which I’m hoping to include audio in, making this a every timely and relevant article for me at the moment! Overall I think I’m either going with the USB or I2S and PWM as they are the most practical and usable options I have at the moment. I’m very glad I ran into this article, now I have more to think about with my tinkering projects.
