NanoPi2 audio

Jon Smirl
Is there any way to get to the I2S pins on either NanoPi2 board?

If you are running with an LCD there is no way to get audio. What is the
point of having the LCD if the only way to get sound out is via HDMI?

RaspPi added the P5 header to allow access to I2S (PCM).

With that header you make make a little daughter card with a codec on it
and get audio in/out.

It's even ok to bring I2S out on a tiny 6 pin SMT microJST connector. There
just needs to be some way to get it.

If you want to use audio for nanopi2 ,you all can use USB audio chips
. 
      You can make debian kernel of nanopi2 ,and configure the kernel
config such as :

      make nanopi2_linux_defconfig
make menuconfig
Device Drivers -->
  Sound card support -->
  --- Sound card support
  [*] Preclaim OSS device numbers
  <*> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture -->
  --- Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
    <*>  OSS Mixer API
    <*>  OSS PCM (digital audio) API
     [ *]   OSS PCM (digital audio) API - Include plugin system
     [* ]   USB sound devices --->
     <*>  ALSA for SoC audio support --->

     After compiling the kernel , you have to make sure your board can be
used internet , and do such steps to install the lib of audio:
#apt-get update
#apt-get install pulse-audio
#apt-get install libasound2
#apt-get install alsa-base
#apt-get install alsa-utils
 
      Now you can play one music :
#aplay music.wav

Hi...i am new to this forum. I have not worked much with the system about
which you are sharing. I just want to say that if you want to use audio for
nanopi2 ,you all can use USB audio chips
You can make debian kernel of nanopi2 ,and configure the kernel
config.
