The Raspberry Pi has an on-board audio jack, which is super handy for all kinds of sound effects and speech, just plug and go! However, for when you want better audio for music playback, a USB audio card can greatly improve the sound quality and volume. That's because the on-board audio is generated by a PWM output and is minimally filtered. Don't get us wrong, it's a great thing to have audio on board but this USB audio card will make it even better.
This particular dongle is not too bulky and can be plugged in without blocking the secondary USB port. It also works great with a Raspberry Pi once the firmware has been updated on the Pi. Tested successfully with Raspbian. Updating the firmware requires Internet access on the Pi and takes about 15 minutes.
At this time we have a tutorial for setting it up for audio output, we don't recommend it if you need Mic input. - Reviews
