The Raspberry Pi is set to use either HDMI or 3.5mm output for audio. In order to get Bluetooth audio working, you will need to do a considerable amount of additional work.

The Model B also sports two USB ports, HDMI out and a 10/100 Ethernet port. For your audio needs, you've got a 3.5mm audio jack and that HDMI output, which also supports audio transmission.

Luckily there is an AUX input available which uses a regular 3,5 mm jack. Perfect opportunity for a DIY project. I built the Bluetooth DAC using Raspberry Pi Zero W and a DAC hat.

Audio recording, meanwhile, comes courtesy of two onboard MEMS mics (useful for things like voice control), a 3.5mm mic jack and a digital S/PDIF input.

The audio card supports up to a 192kHz sample rate and 8 channel input. The board’s inputs include S/PDIF in/out, a 3.5mm headset jack, microphones for direct audio capture, and standard line in ...

Element 14 has released a new audio card add-on for its cheap as chips Raspberry Pi computer, enabling new functionality with stereo digital capture and playback.

In most cases, we use Raspberry Pi in headless mode and manage it remotely over the networking using SSH. Which means you don’t have to plug in a monitor or keyboard to manage your Pi.
