RPi question

royston02 over 12 years ago

I wanted to know if I can get audio from the HDMI port of the RPi to connect to external speakers and if yes then to which pins should I solder.

Fit in your Pi? I don't understand.

Why not just use the Pi's already analog audio output, the 3.5mm headphone jack. You can solder to that and go to speakers. The HDMI needs a digital extractor to get the audio data out, hence the box I posted.

Sorry Pi portable. secondly i want to leave the audio port as it is in order to plug other accessories so I thought of using HDMI audio.

It is what it is, to get the hdmi audio, you have to convert it from the digital stream, hence extra circuitry. Another option is to use the Audio capability on the Pi breakout header, I don't know much about it besides that its mono I believe, and not very good. You should check into that.

The audio GPIO pins are on the new P5 header, which is available on the Revision 2 Pi boards, and are not fitted with header pins. The P5 header itself conveys I2S signals - digital signals intended to drive audio codecs. At the moment, the only product I know that uses it is the Wolfson Audio Card (http://au.element14.com/wolfson-microelectronics/wolfson-audio-card/audio-card-for-use-with-raspberry/dp/2347264?MER=MER-T2C-HBNR-AP-WFSPIAC-72071) which has audio in/out, but I'm not sure if the software will meet your expectations (as it's still being refined).
