The Zynthian SD image won’t work without a proper audio device (DAC). The RBPi integrated “audio device” is not suitable because it sounds poor and has latency. The SD image is pre-configured to work with HifiBerry DAC+, although you can use any DAC that works with RBPi (i.e. any I2S device).

These instructions will attempt to configure the Zynthian image to work with the RBPi integrated “audio device” (even though it has poor performance) or an inexpensive USB audio adapter.
