Wolfson Pi Audio Card

Former Member

Is there any information on this card ?  The safety leaflet isn't particularly enlightening regarding specifications,

    If you through the video you can learn in a few minutes what you could have got in a few seconds from a data sheet (for more of my thoughts about the badness of videos see some Road test discussions.)

     

    Because it was video I didn't actually catch the part numbers but it has:

     

    SPDIF I/O, analogue I/O, power amp to drive headphones (maybe little speakers), based on Wolfson codec chip and SPDIF chip.

    Thanks Michael,

     

    Did you happen to catch what the power connector or second phono connector is supposed to be for ?

     

    Technical detail and specifications should be in a datasheet (with a schematic would be better), videos have no place in providing that sort of information.

     

    I've asked the admins previously if videos could be made available as HTML5 and/or as downloadable files.  Originally that was in connection with The Ben Heck Show which can be watched/downloaded over at http://revision3.com/tbhs without requiring installation of the Flash virus.  Sadly I can watch these e14 produced videos on a different site, but not here on e14 image

    I think he said S/PDIF input and output on the two phono connections (on the side with what looks like a DC jack) and up top was the combined headphone/headset socket, and line in/out (maybe 3.5mm jacks again? but they look larger than the headphone/headset jack).

    Looks like a very nice set of functionality (has speaker connections on 2-pin SIL headers and built-in mics too), although I wonder why people are still creating the odd-shaped PCB when it just needs to be mounted a few mm higher. Still, they crammed all that in. Which reminds me, I need to review the Sleepy-pi.

    can the line-in and microphone input be used at the same time? or change the microphone in to line-in? 4 channels?
