Balena-sound
Build a single or multi-room streamer for an existing audio device using a Raspberry Pi! Supports Bluetooth, Airplay and Spotify Connect
Hardware Required
- Raspberry Pi 3A+/3B/3B+/4B/Zero W
- SD Card (we recommend 8GB Sandisk Extreme Pro)
- Power supply
- 3.5mm audio cable to the input on your speakers/Hi-Fi (usually 3.5mm or RCA). Alternatively you can use the HDMI port to get digital audio out.
Notes - The Raspberry Pi Zero cannot be used on it's own as it has no audio output. To use the Pi Zero you'll need to add something like the Pimoroni pHAT DAC (out of stock and going to be replaced, see #111) to go with it. - For an extended list of device types supported please check this link.
Software Required
- A download of this project (of course)
- Software to flash an SD card (balenaEtcher)
- A free balenaCloud account
- The balena CLI tools
Setup and use
Running this project is as simple as deploying it to a balenaCloud application; no additional configuration is required (unless you're using a DAC HAT). All the setup steps below are done from your MacOS, Windows or Linux computer, not the Raspberry Pi.
