raspberry pi – external sound card sucess

Installed a Griffin iMic USB sound card on Raspberry Pi today.

Here’s how:

  • plug in imic
  • Edit alsa  config file so that imic is default sound cart
  • test

Details

For editing alsa, follow instructions at beginning of this post for editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf 

But you can stop following the instructions after the first reboot.
