Cirrus Logic Audio Card for Raspberry Pi A+ and B+

The Cirrus Logic Audio Card brings all the features found on the previous version of this card from Wolfson Microelectronics to the Raspberry Pi A plus and B plus model. It offers a similar flexibility to a PC soundcard to capture audio alongside their camera, and experiment with stereo digital capture and playback. This Audio Card requires a patch set to be downloaded to the raspberry Pi operating system or use the element14 pre-built Noobs image from element14 which includes the pre-installed Cirrus Logic Audio Card drivers. Early in 2014, Cirrus Logic acquired Wolfson Microelectronics, and Raspberry Pi released the new 40-pin GPIO featured, for example featured on models B and A . In addition to the new GPIO configuration, the 8-pin P5 connector was also dropped, allowing for an altogether easier interconnect experience for accessories. The Cirrus Logic Audio card is therefore a replacement for the Wolfson Audio Card, and addresses the need for a high quality audio solution for 40-pin versions of Raspberry Pi. It contains the same core silicon and therefore has the same high performance as its predecessor, but has been improved in a number of ways. Important Note: Please be aware that the Cirrus Logic Audio Card is only compatible with Raspberry Pi A plus and B plus. It cannot be used on Raspberry Pi Models A or B.
