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.

Use a web browser to access your Zynthian box's admin web page .  Depending on your setup you might try to just use '''http://zynthian.local/''' - if that doesn't work You need to enter the IP address of your Zynthian.

Use a web browser to access your Zynthian box's admin web page . Depending on your setup you might try to just use '''http://zynthian.local/''' - if that works, you don't need the IPaddress. Otherwise, You have to figure out what the Zynthian box's IP address is. If your Zynthain is connected with an Ethernet cable to your router, your router may have an admin interface (built-in webpage) that may show the IP address of connected devices)
