 +===== GPIO (On-board) audio =====
 +
 +Various sound card hats and addons are available for high quality audio. These sound cards use the GPIO I2S (and I2C) pins on the GPIO header. Some sound cards have inputs as well as outputs. Sound cards range from 2 channels (in/out) to 8 channels out and 6 channels in.

 +A short list of GPIO sound cards can be found on eLinux :\\

 Another option is to comment or remove the kernel module for the onboard soundcard (snd-bcm2835) from ''/etc/modules''. Keep in mind this will disable the onboard sound altogether. This might save you some precious CPU cycles too but don't expect too much of it. Another option is to comment or remove the kernel module for the onboard soundcard (snd-bcm2835) from ''/etc/modules''.

-===== Audio software repository ===== 
  
-There's a [[http://rpi.autostatic.com/|repository]] available with packages of Jack1, Jack2 (both patched for use on ARM) and a small collection of software that is either not available or not up to date in the standard Raspbian repositories. 
- 
-==== Adding the repository ==== 
- 
-  wget -O - http://rpi.autostatic.com/autostatic.gpg.key| sudo apt-key add - 
-  sudo wget -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/autostatic-audio-raspbian.list http://rpi.autostatic.com/autostatic-audio-raspbian.list 
-  sudo apt-get update

 When using Jack2 you might want to disable dbus dependent code in JACK components if you want to run Jack2 on a headless RPi (so without X). You can do this by building without the ''--dbus'' option. The JACK2 packages in the AutoStatic repositories have dbus disabled. Another option is to export the following environment variable before starting JACK2: When using Jack2 you might want to disable dbus dependent code in JACK components if you want to run Jack2 on a headless RPi (so without X).

   export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/dbus/system_bus_socket   export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/dbus/system_bus_socket

 +And then add the following lines to ''/etc/dbus-1/system.conf'' before the closing ''</busconfig>'' tag:
 +    <policy user="pi">
 +          <allow own="org.freedesktop.ReserveDevice1.Audio0"/>

 +WARNING: In Raspbian Stretch I had to do the following instead of modifying ''system.conf'':
 +
 +Create a new file ''/etc/dbus-1/system-local.conf'' with the following contents:
 +
 +    <?xml version="1.0"?> <!--*-nxml-*-->
 +    <!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
