FPP Dummy Audio

[Tyson Cheek]

I’ve just setup a raspberry pi, first time user. I can get a sequence working However I have no audio output?? On FPP under audio I can only select dummy. Is there something I’ve missed in the setup?

I vaguely recall something about the PI onboard audio being very poor, most things I've read about it seem to suggest people using a USB SoundBlaster adaptor

Do you have a pixel cape enabled (LED Panel or ws2811?). If so, the onboard audio has to be disabled and the only option is the "dummy" audio. You would need a USB sound device (which you would likely want anyway due to the poor quality of the onboard audio).

I have a pixel cape enabled for ws2811, so sounds like I need the USB sound. Thank you

I've got a Pi 4 running with FPP and the audio output is fine.
