For all other Pi 4 and 3 the 2x20 pin header should come presolder.
LET’S INSTALL the AUDIO+
For Raspi OS users (works also for Retropie) automatic script:
-Insert your Rapsberry Pi Audio Shield in your Raspberry pI then turn it on
-Make sure your audio jack is plugged in to your amplifier
-Open a terminal (yes the black windows thing) and type:
wget -O - script.raspiaudio.com | bash
-say yes for the reboot
-If everything went fine you should here a test sound when tryping this command:
speaker-test -l5 -c2 -t wav
-NEW! : On the next reboot you will be able to control the volume from your desktop or by using the line command tool alsamixer
For references here is the script source.
