The number after the word "card" is your device number. That will list your attached sound card devices. Open the terminal window and type in "arecord -l" (that's a lowercase "L") and hit enter. Plug a live audio source into the USB sound card's RCA line inputs. Next we are going to test the sound card to make sure it is working properly.

Interestingly enough the WiFi's MAC address will show up on the line that begins with "ether" If you need the MAC address then type in the command "ifconfig eth0" in the terminal window for ethernet or "ifconfig wlan0" for WiFi.


You may need the MAC address of the Pi or it may just show up in a list of connected devices on your router's admin page. NOTE: It may be easier to assign a static IP address using your router's DHCP IP reservation feature if it has one. Anyway, enter the IP address you want in the IP address field and enter your router's IP address in both the Router and DNS Servers field. I had a problem when I first set up my Pi where I assigned the same static IP address to both connections and my Pi's wireless locked up and I couldn't get it back working correctly so I had to start all over installing the OS. I would advise assigning a static IP to only one or the other. LEFT-click the upper right box and select "eth0" to configure the ethernet connection or "wlan0" for wireless. RIGHT-click the network connections icon on the taskbar (the little up and down arrow icon) and select "Wireless and Wired Network Settings". If your Pi's IP address is randomly assigned by your router's DHCP server, then the IP address could change later and you wouldn't be able to connect via VNC (or Sonos for that matter).

Mediabridge 3.5mm Male to 2-Male RCA Adapter (6 Feet) (if your analog audio source has RCA outputs then you don't need this) My second choice was a stereo sound card "hat" that plugs into the Raspberry's GPIO pins but I couldn't find a case for it and I really liked the look and functionality of the Flirc Raspberry Pi case.įlirc Raspberry Pi Case Gen2 (New Model) (aluminum case acts as a heat sink) The Raspberry Pi's on-board sound card does not have audio inputs and there are very few external USB sound cards that have stereo inputs. UPDATE: If you own a turntable with USB out you may be able to just plug that into the Pi and use that as the "soundcard" and forego buying the Behringer altogether.ĮDIT: I wasn't aware that Behringer has another model for the same price called the BEHRINGER U-PHONO UFO202 that has a built-in Phono preamp for turntables.

I wrote this Instructable for the complete Raspberry Pi NOOB, which I was until just a few days ago, with what I feel is the most concise, least amount of steps necessary to have a Raspberry Pi automatically start serving a live 320 kbps stereo mp3 stream to Sonos within seconds of booting up.

I decided to learn how to program a Raspberry Pi to add a remote line-in for our Sonos speakers. I could have accomplished this by buying another Play 5 or CONNECT and using its line-in but I didn't have enough room in my little office nor did I want to invest that much more money just to have that capability. I have a tabletop radio upstairs in my office that has a line-out and wanted to be able to listen to it throughout the house mainly for live sports broadcasts. With them we can listen to practically anything except our local radio station which doesn't stream over the Internet. We have three Sonos components in our house: A Play 5 in the living room, a Play 3 in the bedroom and a Sonos CONNECT:AMP powering outdoor speakers on our patio. I have always been fascinated by the Raspberry Pi but never had a real need for one until now.
