VoCore 2 sound output - best way?
Posted: Mon Aug 03, 2020 6:48 am
Hey. It's been a while since I last played with VoCore.
Yay, so I was cleaning my workshop and I found my unused VoCores. Some years ago I apparently ordered 5x VoCore and 5x VoCore 2, now I have 10 of them laying around. I thought I'd put them to use somehow and I was thinking of using a Vocore2 for a small media player running MPD. I was wondering what's the best way to hook up VoCore 2 to output sound. I've noticed there is I²S available on the board where I could hookup a DAC. But I've read some threads here that many people have been having problems with audio noise. Have these problems been fixed? Should I just use an USB sound card instead sine the board also has USB pins?
Thanks in advance.
Also, Vonger, please:
