Sound capabilities of the RasPi3

Garfield73

Hi all,
today I connected an audio jack into the RasPi to connect it to an active loudspeaker. Jesus, what is that for a disappointing noise during playing any sound that comes out of the speaker. First I thought that I didn't connect the jack correctly, but even after I checked that the jack is inside the hole completely, and tried another cable also, I understand that there is a static noise starting nearly a second before and stays a bit longer than the sound that the soundcard has to produce.
My question: is that normal? Does the soundchip such a bad job or do I have another problem - unshielded connection, e.g.?

I found some USB sound cards that are should work with a RasPi, but will they work with Emteria Android as well?
Did someone use one of them already and has a recommendation? e.g. "https://www.rasppishop.de/USB-Soundkarte-Soundadapter"?

Many thanks and best regards,
Sascha

Yeah, that was very annoying. In 0.5.3 we have introduced several changes, which should make it better. Please try it out and let me know how it goes.

I bought an USB Soundcard from CSL-Computer. It functions plug´n´play. The sound is acceptable, but I don´t have professional speaker too.

I'm experiencing difficulty in video playback as well, but I'm afraid this is caused by the limited graphical capabilities of the RPi3.

This is unlikely because I use the CARPC, which is perfect for sound and the image and sync. Unfortunately I do not get it, I'm just a simple user.
I can only comment on practical usability, so I'm trying to make suggestions, but I do not really consider it.

Why do I need the volume controller? I used to listen to music while using WAZE, but I did not hear the instructions. The volume of the instructions can not be adjusted, so the music must be switched off. Does not anyone miss me?

I think the topic of the original thread shifted too much. Since the original problem was fixed and there already exist other threads for remaining issues (like volume control), I will close this discussion.
